Chapter 589 I’ll vent your anger for you!
"It seems I, Qiu Yi, have been away from the martial world for so long that even a lone woman dares to run wild in the territory of the Southeast Five Provinces."
On the stage, Qiu Yi, who had been ignored by the crowd, suddenly spoke, instantly capturing everyone’s attention.
With a cold expression, he pointed at Liu Xiaolin and shouted, "Speak! What sorcery did you use to kill Qing Yang Daoist!"
Qing Yang Daoist was, after all, a genuine Martial Arts Grandmaster. And yet, he had been killed by a child.
Even now, Qiu Yi’s heart was filled with shock and disbelief. It was hard to believe such a thing, even after seeing it with his own eyes. Other than sorcery, there was no other explanation.
"Sorcery?"
Upon hearing Qiu Yi’s words, everyone was startled. They looked at Liu Xiaolin with expressions of shock and fear. The inexplicable always inspires terror.
"How shameless," Qin Luoli said with a sarcastic sneer. "It seems this is all your Southeast Five Provinces amounts to. When you lack strength, you blame it on sorcery. I heard that you, Qiu Yi, tore crocodiles apart and subdued tigers with your bare hands. Was that also sorcery?"
"How presumptuous! How dare a wretch like you slander Master Qiu?"
"Master Qiu Yi may not stoop to arguing with a woman, but I, Fu San, will not tolerate it!"
"Impudent witch, I’ll flay you alive!"
The martial artists of the Southeast Five Provinces all began to hurl incredibly foul-mouthed insults.
His face swollen like a pig’s, Shen Lian hid behind the crowd and shouted, "You, Lin! If you have any guts, stop hiding behind a woman! Today is your duel with my master. Are you really going to let a woman protect you?"
"If that’s the case, you should just get on your knees and beg for mercy. Kill yourself to atone and save my master the trouble of doing it himself!"
Shen Lian’s words successfully redirected everyone’s animosity toward Lin Mu. Qin Luoli was too dominant for him to provoke, but Lin Mu was just a worthless nobody. He was no match for his master!
"That’s right, a guy like him can only rely on a woman!"
"So the great Divine Machine Camp Instructor is nothing but a kept man! Pah!"
"Get lost! Don’t embarrass yourself here!"
Qin Luoli ignored the torrent of insults, but the smile on her face turned bone-chilling.
"You, and you!" Qin Luoli pointed at Shen Lian and a sleazy-looking man in the crowd. "You cowards who hide in the shadows! If you have something to say, stand up and say it!"
The sleazy man was Fu San. Seeing that he’d been singled out, he didn’t shrink back but stepped forward boldly.
"So what if I stand up?" Fu San said, licking his lips. "You’re quite a beauty, I’ll give you that. It’s a real pity you’ve fallen in with the wrong crowd."
"Why don’t you offer yourself to Master Qiu? That way, you won’t waste your youth on a loser!"
Fu San’s words spurred the crowd on.
"Yes, Master Fu’s suggestion is excellent!"
"Hey, why didn’t I think of that?"
"That woman should consider herself lucky!"
Even Qiu Yi lifted his chin slightly and looked at Fu San. "Mm, Master Fu’s idea coincides with my own," he said, signaling his agreement.
He had never married because he felt no woman in the world was worthy of him, preferring to devote all his energy to the Martial Way. But now that his divine skill was perfected, having a fine woman by his side to serve him wouldn’t be so bad.
Hearing Qiu Yi’s approval and being addressed as "Master Fu" almost made Fu San laugh out loud. It seemed he had definitely picked the right powerhouse to support.
"Darling, they’re insulting me."
Everyone had expected Qin Luoli to erupt in fury. Given her fearless temperament, it was a shock to see her acting coquettishly with Lin Mu instead.
"Hmph, so what if we insult you?" Fu San sneered. "Becoming Master Qiu’s woman is a blessing you couldn’t earn in ten lifetimes. What’s there to be dissatisfied about?"
"Besides, what is that pathetic man of yours without a woman to protect him? Nothing!"
At Fu San’s words, Lin Mu’s eyes narrowed, and a terrifying killing intent erupted from him.
The Feng Family Head chimed in, "Kid, I advise you to make a wise choice! Otherwise, with several Grandmasters present today, killing you would be as easy as flicking a wrist!"
The Feng Family Head’s words served as a reminder: there were indeed several Grandmasters present.
"So you’re finally scared, are you?" Shen Lian sneered. "I thought you were so powerful? But now my master is about to take your woman, and you don’t even dare to make a peep!" He thinks he’s so great just because a woman’s backing him up, but in front of my master, he’s nothing.
Huang Ning had already adjusted to the situation, her eyes burning with resentment as she glared at Qin Luoli. That detestable woman. Let’s see how arrogant you are after Lin Mu is dead! It isn’t just Master Qiu here today; the Spirit Seer is present as well!
"Heh..."
Lin Mu finally spoke. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. He had already memorized the face of everyone who had insulted Qin Luoli.
"I’m sorry you had to endure that," Lin Mu said, turning to Qin Luoli. "But you’re my woman, so just stand back and let me handle this. Fighting and killing is a man’s job, after all."
His tone was slightly domineering, yet filled with intense warmth.
"But I wanted to help..." Qin Luoli pouted.
This exchange made Cheng Bugui and the others marvel inwardly. If those business magnates from River City saw this, their jaws would hit the floor! The formidable River City Queen, showing such a cute, girlish side... it was truly a sight to behold. However, the only person who could speak to the Venerable Master in such a tone was the Lady herself.
"Alright. I’ll get justice for you now," Lin Mu said, patting Qin Luoli on the head before slowly stepping forward.
"Talk is cheap!" Shen Lian sneered. "You should worry about saving your own skin first!"
"I’ll let you live a little longer," Lin Mu said, glancing at Shen Lian. "After I kill this trash, you’re next."
As soon as these words, laced with icy killing intent, left his lips, Lin Mu took a sudden step and appeared instantly before Fu San.
"What was that you just said? That it’s the fortune of a lifetime to be the woman of that piece of trash?"
Fu San was startled by his eerie speed, but then he snorted. "Kid, I’m a full-fledged Inner Strength Martial Artist! You think I’m afraid of you?"
Internal Energy surged through his body as he threw a punch at Lin Mu.
SMACK!
Lin Mu’s slap sent Fu San flying. Before his body even hit the ground, it exploded into a paste of flesh and blood.
Everyone was shocked by Lin Mu’s terrifying move. Fu San was an Inner Strength Martial Artist... and he was killed with a single slap? Just how much power was in that blow?
"Since when have I, Lin Mu, ever needed a woman to protect me?"
The murderous look on Lin Mu’s face did not fade. His indifferent voice was like a death sentence, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.
"The only reason I didn’t deal with you sooner is because trash like you isn’t worthy of my attention." His eyes blazed with killing intent. "But since you’re all so determined to die, I’m happy to oblige!"
