Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

Chapter 250 170: Copper Coins Turned to Blades, Frightening Off the Eagle Hall Master!

"Step, step!"

The dull sound of leather boots crushing snow echoed repeatedly, and the moment the footsteps stopped, the heart of the little beggar curled up behind the door suddenly halted and caught in his throat.

The little beggar knew that those people were just outside the door.

As if to confirm the little beggar's thoughts, after a brief dead silence.

"Bang!"

The wooden door, already old and broken, was suddenly kicked open, slamming hard against the doorframe with an ear-piercing 'creak' before falling heavily to the ground.

"Little brat, run, why aren't you running now, weren't you good at running..."

The trembling little beggar wanted to flee but despairingly found his legs weak, helplessly watching as the fierce, burly man with a face full of menace reached out to grab him.

It was at this moment that a calm voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

"Uninvited guests are indeed thieves."

Everyone in the courtyard, be it the little beggar or the members of the Cangying Gang, was startled. They looked toward the voice and finally noticed a figure resting in a wheelchair under the locust tree beneath the setting sun.

"This guy isn't normal!"

The leader of the Cangying Gang, named Cang Heng, was one of the four Hall Masters of the Cangying Gang and a Ninth-Grade Dark Force Martial Artist. He, a dignified Grade-Entering Martial Artist, had not sensed such a person upon stepping into the courtyard. If the other party hadn't just spoken, he might not have noticed at all.

If the other party were a Ninth-Grade Martial Artist like him, such a momentary sneak attack could have seriously injured him.

But soon, Cang Heng dismissed this apprehension and solemnity from his heart; he looked closely and realized it was just a crippled person. Otherwise, why would he need to sit in a wheelchair?

"This person was just asleep; my attention wasn't on him, which is why I didn't notice him earlier."

Thinking of this, Cang Heng calmed down, sensing the gazes from several members of the Cangying Gang behind him. As the hall master, he couldn't lose face, and a sinister expression once again appeared on Cang Heng's face.

"Kid, you look unfamiliar to me. You must have just moved to Qingshui Town, right?"

"What if I am?"

The figure in the wheelchair still did not open his eyes.

Seeing this, Cang Heng's heart burned with anger. A gang member beside him immediately stepped forward and shouted, "You bastard, do you know who you're talking to?"

"This is Master Cang Heng of our Cangying Gang. You, an outsider, come to Qingshui Town and don't even bother to find out whose territory it is. You've offended our hall master today, and you must give us, the Cangying Gang, an explanation!"

"That's right! You must give Master Cang and the Cangying Gang an explanation!"

Said several Cangying Gang members in agreement.

Originally, a few people outside the courtyard hesitated to come over, wanting to see if they could help, but hearing this commotion, they all stopped in their tracks.

Unlike the Iron Fist Martial Arts Hall, the Cangying Gang acted tyrannically, surpassing even the former Black Tiger Gang. Ordinary folks wouldn't dare to offend them.

"An explanation?"

Su Mu, sitting in the wheelchair, shook his head and slowly opened his eyes; they were deep and profound. He scanned the Cangying Gang members, finally settling his gaze on the little beggar.

The Cangying Gang members' eyes were full of ferocity and mockery, while in the eyes of the little beggar, about eight or nine years old, Su Mu saw guilt, remorse, and fear.

"Very well, these coins are Lin Mou's explanation."

After saying this, Su Mu undid a small string of copper coins, and with a gentle toss of his hand, the string snapped in mid-air, scattering the coins leisurely like raindrops.

At this moment, Su Mu casually pushed forward a palm.

The leader, Cang Heng, seeing this scene, felt a jarring twitch in his right eyelid, his pupils contracted, and an indescribable sense of terror surged in his heart. He shouted urgently.

"Retreat, quickly retreat!"

Cang Heng hurriedly retreated backward, causing several Cangying Gang members behind him to stumble and roll out of the courtyard. Just as these people were confused.

"Whiz, whiz, whiz!"

In a series of crisp sounds, the copper coins Su Mu had just thrown out shot forward, each like a weight of a thousand pounds, embedding into the walls and the hard bluestone ground, completely buried within.

"Hiss!"

All the Cangying Gang members were dumbfounded, as for Cang Heng in particular, he felt a sense of relief at having survived a catastrophe, taking a deep breath as a chilling fear filled his heart.

The opponent had casually pushed out a palm, yet each copper coin was like a sharp blade, effortlessly embedding into the walls and bluestone ground, which was certainly not a muddy area.

If earlier the opponent had targeted him, could he have withstood it?

Cang Heng's mind raced, and beads of bean-sized cold sweat continuously formed on his forehead. The answer was undoubtedly no, he had no chance.

"Who exactly is this person, possessing such formidable power... Even my older brother at the Eighth Grade Bone Forging Realm can't accomplish this!"

Cang Heng's elder brother was, of course, the Gang Leader of Cangying Gang, Cang Lin, one of the three Eighth Grade Bone Forging Realm individuals in Qingshui Town, alongside the leaders of the Iron Fist Gang and the Patrol Department Captain who just broke through to the Eighth Grade a year ago.

For a moment, the Cangying Gang members who had been shouting for an explanation turned pale, sweat streaming down as they stood motionless like cicadas in the winter, stunned by the realization that the seemingly young man before them, seated in a wheelchair, was a powerful martial artist hidden from view!

"Lin Mou has already given you the explanation; feel free to take it yourselves."

Su Mu's calm voice echoed in the courtyard, causing Cang Heng and his companions to tremble all over; Cang Heng quickly spoke up.
