Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

Chapter 381 - 226: Fire Sparrow Interception, Frostfire Purgatory!

Tao Xingzheng is quite cunning; after using the Tao Family for intimidation, he appropriately softens his tone.

"Mr. Li, our siblings truly do not wish to be your enemies. It’s not out of fear of you, but simply because Lord County Magistrate didn’t want us to go all out that day, otherwise how could Wang Xuantian have been so arrogant for this long!"

Lin Shuang speaks sharply, masking her timidity.

"Exactly, especially since the lord is soon to be transferred to Dongling County to serve as Sima, a sixth-grade official. He will undoubtedly be a great help to you, but should you dare to make a move against him, there’d be no place for you within the entire Great Yan Dynasty!"

The Great Yan Dynasty is exceedingly sensitive about the matter of killing officials, as it concerns both the dynasty’s reputation and the vital interests of officials big and small. Once it happens, it becomes a major issue, which is why the Black Mountain Army, despite its previous havoc, doesn’t easily kill officials.

Watching the three people in front act out their drama, playing black face, red face, and white face with exhortations, threats, and lures of profit, Su Mu’s heart grows even more vindictive.

He disregards the sixth-grade Sima and court officials, as well as the Tao Family; Tao Xingzheng had attempted to kill him more than once, making him an indisputable enemy.

Moreover, it’s Li Feiyu who’s set to kill them tonight; what does it have to do with him, Su Mu? He doesn’t even care about the Demon-Slaying Golden Order.

Forgiving enemies is Buddha’s business, while Su Mu can only send them to Western Heaven to meet Buddha!

"Have you finished your last words... then be on your way!"

Su Mu stops wasting words and suddenly raises his hand, tightly gripping with five fingers, stirring the air around him, merging into a punch, a majestic fist momentum rises forcefully, booming towards the three in front.

This punch doesn’t employ any martial techniques, it’s merely a casual strike.

"Crack crack!"

Yet at the moment the punch is released, layers of white airwaves surge and spread, as if an angry dragon sweeps across the ground, the earth sinks, fractures, stones splinter, leaving a one-yard long pit towards the trio.

"Li Feiyu, are you insane!"

Lin Lie shouts furiously, without thinking twice, he swallows a pill stimulating his Qi and blood to the extreme, his internal Qi blood becomes instantly scorching hot like flames ignited, and the Qi blood smoke rises straight from his body.

Sizzle!

Then he swiftly draws his saber, stepping forward as he pulls it out fiercely, the inscriptions on the eighth-grade treasure saber light up, transforming into a red thread, sweeping with raging fire, slashing towards Su Mu’s punch.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion rumbles, two terrifying powers of Qi blood collide violently yet instantly determining victory, the forward relentless fist momentum carrying the strong Gang Force crushes the flames, impacting on the saber.

Crack crack!

The saber body bends aggressively, and an immense divine force, unlike human power, emerges from Lin Lie’s burning Qi blood arms, flipping him out, ’thunk’ his body unmistakably crashes a few yards away onto a mound, the earth trembles, dust flies.

"Hiss... so strong! That day Li Feiyu could only narrowly defeat Wang Xuantian, now with promotion to sixth-grade his power likely surpasses Wang Xuantian by miles!"

Watching his brother Lin Lie burn his own Qi blood without hesitation to exert the utmost power yet still be blasted away by Su Mu’s casual punch, Lin Shuang trembles intensely in her heart.

"Why are you both hesitating, don’t hold anything back, at all costs unleash full power, even if tonight ends in harm or death, you must kill him!"

Tao Xingzheng, also shocked by Su Mu’s current power, his face darkens with shadows and thick dread, he shouts with fury.

"Yes!"

Under Tao Xingzheng’s command, Lin Lie and Lin Shuang show helplessness and gravity; Lin Shuang immediately swallows two pills, one for burning Qi blood like Lin Lie did earlier, and the other a blood-colored and eerie elixir.

Puff!

Lin Shuang bears a mug of madness; cultivated as Tao Xingzheng’s personal bodyguards, their minds are imprinted with spiritual marks by Tao Xingzheng personally, they cannot have resisted if ordered to death, especially since their relatives are in Tao Family’s grasp.

"Boom boom boom——!"

Lin Lie extracts himself from the mound, focusing their minds, their hearts quicken to an unprecedented rhythm, soon synchronizing, emitting distinctive powerful thumping.

Grimacing in agony, the siblings snarl in muffled pain, the Qi blood smoke atop their heads like blazing, surrounding temperature rising fiercely.

Now their Qi blood’s magnitude far surpasses the battle in Changfeng City!

"Buzz!"

Even more peculiar, as their heartbeats synchronize, their Qi blood seems to mingle within them, the ascending smoke intertwines and merges, becoming a solid blood river nearly a yard long.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The blood river billows and swirls around them, surging with oppression, their aura surpassing the desperate Wang Xuantian previously.

"The Lin Family Siblings’ martial talent may not be top-notch, yet they possess unique physiques and mind communication since childhood. After practicing the special Combined Attack Technique I granted them, they can blend their Qi blood, unleashing a force surpassing one plus one equals two. Together, even amidst second blood exchange martial artists with river-like Qi blood, they aren’t too weak!"

Tao Xingzheng sees this, satisfied, corners of his lips lift subtly, face vexed glances at Su Mu.

Years spent cultivating the Lin Family Siblings consumed great resources, this state of desperate synergy even rivals resurrected Wang Xuantian needing retreat, how else would they qualify as his guards.

Blood drips in his heart briefly, yet nurturing soldiers over years requires utilization at critical moments, today even losing Lin Family Siblings cannot leave Li Feiyu surviving!

Thinking thus, Tao Xingzheng subtly clasps his hands behind his back, a spiritual light flickers showing an object.

"Ah ah ah!"

Lin Lie and Lin Shuang on the field violently pop veins, growl repeatedly as sustaining this form for long is impossible, fearing Su Mu profoundly, they employ their strongest kill move attempting to end Su Mu outright.

"Frostfire Purgatory!"
