Chapter 512: Two Grandmasters? One kick each!
"Wen Lie, it seems your title of Grandmaster is undeserved."
Lin Mu sneered. "If this is all you have, then you will surely die today!"
"You’re celebrating too early!" Wen Lie smiled cruelly, a strange glint in his eyes. He called out loudly in a certain direction, "Brother Dongfeng, since you’re here, why not make your move!"
His words shook everyone present.
Had Wen Lie actually brought backup?
"Hahaha, I’ve long heard of River City Lin Wudi’s heaven-defying techniques. Today, I must see them for myself!"
Just then, a voice dripping with murderous intent descended from the sky as a wave of Evil Qi bore down on them.
"Lin Wudi, remember the one who kills you: East Madness, Dongfeng Po Tian!"
East Madness? Dongfeng Po Tian? He had come as well? And he was preparing to join forces with Wen Lie to kill Lin Wudi?
At this, a furor erupted across Dongting Lake. A battle between three Grandmasters was truly unprecedented!
Moreover, with two Grandmasters joining forces, could Lin Wudi possibly be their match?
"Hahaha." Lin Mu suddenly burst into laughter, his voice like a dragon’s roar, his presence as magnificent as a rainbow. "Wen Lie, Dongfeng Po Tian, I, Lin, would like to see just how you plan to kill me today!"
As his voice fell, an unparalleled aura surged toward the heavens, causing the waters of Dongting Lake to churn and roar.
"Regardless of whether Lin Wudi can win this fight, just being able to face two Grandmasters is an honor, even in defeat," Qing Ni let out a long sigh, clearly not optimistic about Lin Mu’s chances.
"That Wen Lie is shameless, actually getting someone to team up with him!" Ling Yun said indignantly. "And this Dongfeng Po Tian, too. He’s the renowned East Madness of the Martial Arts World? I don’t think he’s anything special!"
"Ling Yun, watch your tongue!" Qing Ni’s expression changed as she scolded, "The status of a Grandmaster is not for you to comment on so casually!"
Although Ling Yun’s face showed her displeasure, she dared not say more, her pretty face just showing a hint of anger.
"Master Lin, you have to win!" Ling Yun clenched her small fists, her expression full of admiration. "Go for it! You can do it!"
...
Above the lake, Wen Lie watched Lin Mu with a solemn expression, becoming increasingly wary. This Lin Wudi truly lives up to his reputation; he really is skilled.
"Brother Dongfeng, let’s move!" Wen Lie said coldly. "Let’s slaughter this brat together and see if he still dares to be so arrogant!"
BOOM!
An astonishing burst of Evil Qi erupted, swirling down from above.
At the same time, the water of the entire Dongting Lake converged and rose toward the sky, instantly coalescing into a gigantic river suspended in the air. It was tens of zhang long, resembling a colossal dragon.
"Lin Wudi, you slew Yun Xu, killed Ouyang Ming, and even Southern Sky Xing Zirong died at your hands!" Dongfeng Po Tian’s voice thundered from the heavens, sending tremors in all directions. "The Fire Cloud Sect was annihilated because of you, and the Southern Butcher also fell to you. Of the four great Grandmasters, two have already died by your hand! Such heinous sins can only be repaid with your life!"
These were all Lin Wudi’s shocking accomplishments.
"Rumor has it that you earned honor even in your defeat against Zhang Daoyun, but in my eyes, a loss is a loss!" Dongfeng Po Tian stood upon the water dragon, his gaze icy as he stared at Lin Mu. Filled with killing intent, he declared, "Zhang Daoyun couldn’t bring himself to kill you, but I, Dongfeng Po Tian, will take your life today!"
The malevolent aura raged, causing heaven and earth to tremble.
"Kill me?" Lin Mu replied with disdain. "The two of you aren’t qualified!"
"Whether we are qualified is not for you to decide!" Dongfeng Po Tian stomped his foot on the water dragon, and the Evil Qi transformed into a chilling cold. "Today, I will show you my ultimate technique—Descent of the Ice Dragon!"
Dongfeng Po Tian’s eyes were glacial. With a move of his hands, he threw a punch.
"Go!"
With his sharp command, the ice dragon beneath his feet roared and shot forth, streaking across the sky directly toward Lin Mu.
"Pathetic!" Lin Mu shook his head slightly, tapped his foot on the lake’s surface, and his figure shot upwards.
"Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps—First Step: Mountains and Rivers Shatter!"
A dazzling azure light flared from his foot. The next moment, Lin Mu was hovering three feet above the lake’s surface.
"Second Step: Ghosts and Gods Tremble!"
Taking another step, Lin Mu instantly ascended high into the air, positioning himself directly above the ice dragon’s head.
"Third Step: Heaven and Earth Transform!"
"Break!"
A crystalline divine light burst forth. The power of the Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps was endlessly profound. It could shatter the earth and shake the firmament, let alone a mere river.
CRACK!
The next moment, the Ice Dragon shattered into a sky full of crystalline shards, which then dispersed into a fine mist. An ear-splitting roar echoed in all directions, and the violent aftershock of the energy blasted a hole clean through the lake’s surface.
Everyone who witnessed this turned deathly pale.
"This is..."
Watching the figure ascending to the heavens step by step, the entire crowd was speechless with shock.
"A divine technique! That is a divine technique!" Wen Lie’s expression changed drastically.
"Not good!" Seeing the Ice Dragon shatter, Dongfeng Po Tian’s pupils contracted, his heart filling with a deep sense of dread.
Just then, a figure treading on the void ascended into the heavens, one step at a time.
"Fourth Step: The Stars Tremble!"
In the next instant, he appeared directly above Dongfeng Po Tian’s head.
"Kneel!" Lin Mu’s expression was impassive as his foot slammed down heavily.
Fifth Step: Even a Buddha Must Kneel!
If even a Buddha must kneel, what chance did a mere Dongfeng Po Tian have?
BANG!
Dongfeng Po Tian felt an irresistible force crash down upon him, stomping him out of the sky and smashing him into the waters of the lake below.
"This..." Wen Lie was stunned. He never imagined that even Dongfeng Po Tian would be no match for Lin Mu.
"You’re next!"
Suddenly, Lin Mu whipped his head around, his gaze locking onto Wen Lie. His figure flickered and vanished from the air.
"No!" Wen Lie was scared out of his wits and retreated frantically. He was terrified. Having witnessed Lin Mu’s true power, he no longer had any courage left to fight.
"You can’t escape!" Lin Mu sneered coldly. He took a single step, instantly appearing above Wen Lie’s head, and brought his foot down once more.
"Master Lin, spare me!" Wen Lie’s face was ashen as he begged for mercy. "Don’t kill me! I, Wen Lie, swear that for the rest of my life, I will never dare to oppose you again!"
He was terrified, broken, and had completely surrendered.
"I told you I would kill you today!" However, Lin Mu was unmoved by Wen Lie’s pleas. His foot descended, stamping directly onto Wen Lie’s head.
BANG!
The next moment, Wen Lie’s entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
A dignified Martial Arts Grandmaster... stomped to death with a single foot?
This...
"Yes!"
From the Yueyang Tower, Ling Yun cheered when she saw this, her face flushed with excitement. She felt that image of him would be forever seared into her heart, never to fade. This time, even Qing Ni forgot to scold Ling Yun, finding the scene utterly stunning.
With one stomp, he had driven East Madness Dongfeng Po Tian into the bottom of the lake. With another, he had obliterated Wen Lie.
With such strength, who would dare say Lin Wudi wasn’t invincible? Who was qualified to even fight him?
"Dongfeng Po Tian was defeated?"
"Wen Lie is dead?"
A deathly silence fell over Dongting Lake. Everyone stared with wide eyes, their hearts trembling in shock. That was two Grandmasters working together, yet Lin Mu had dealt with them both with a single stomp each, leaving one defeated and the other dead.
Lin Mu held Wen Hao, who had long since been scared out of his wits, his face a mask of despair.
With a glance around the scene, Lin Mu crushed Wen Hao in his grasp, ending the man’s life. His voice was indifferent as he said, "Two Grandmasters... and that’s all they amounted to."
