Chapter 1055 - 1070: Clash with a Ghost Realm Expert
Lin Mu set his sights on Ah Zhong, "What Bai Wuchang? Just a vicious wolf under Jinye, damn it, if I had known you were under Jinye, I would have killed you long ago! Besides, I don't like your filthy mouth, so you better shut up."As he spoke, Lin Mu suddenly exerted his strength, leaping up into the air, launching an Invincible Heart-piercing Kick fiercely toward Ah Zhong. But just as Ah Zhong was terrified, Bai Wuchang flew out to meet Lin Mu's ferocious strike. Bang! Their kicks collided evenly, pushing both back a few steps.
Of course, this first move was just a probing test; neither side was genuinely striking to kill. However, Lin Mu still felt that this ghostly-looking Bai Wuchang was indeed a master, but that didn't mean Lin Mu couldn't eliminate his opponent. On the contrary, Lin Mu felt he could dispose of that fool Ah Zhong in no time.
So after the first strike, Lin Mu shot out again, his right hand drawing a curve through the air, while employing the Shaolin Vajra Sutra technique, he circulated the True Qi within him. The next move saw his right palm strike out quickly, carrying a thick wave of Black Qi. After a moment, this Black Qi enveloped Bai Wuchang, Ah Zhong, and several of the minions behind them. Ah Zhong immediately got hit, feeling as if thousands of ants were biting him inside, an unbearable pain.
Yet beside him, Bai Wuchang, like Lin Mu, sank Qi into his dantian, suddenly circulating True Qi within, releasing a wave of Gang Qi from his palm. This Gang Qi was exceptionally cold, almost as if emanating from the Yama Hall of the underworld! In fact, this move was the supreme Yin Qi of the Ghost Realm, and also Bai Wuchang's signature skill.
The next second, this Yin Qi transformed into a gust of sinister wind, forcefully pushing back Lin Mu's wave of Black Qi. Hence, neither Bai Wuchang nor his minions were harmed by Lin Mu's Black Qi, only the unfortunate Ah Zhong, who was too arrogant and too close to Lin Mu, suffered severe injuries from the Black Qi, now almost laying on the ground writhing in pain.
"Not bad!" Lin Mu smiled faintly. Since he developed this Eighth Layer Black Qi, Bai Wuchang was the first to withstand it. Although he only used thirty percent of his power, the fact that the opponent could take the blow showed his strength, which intrigued Lin Mu somewhat about this skinny ghost.
"You're not bad yourself!" Bai Wuchang snorted coldly. Of course, he was quite pleased with having deflected Lin Mu's lethal move, feeling as if he had cracked Lin Mu's strongest kill move. He glanced at Ah Zhong, still wailing underfoot, feeling a wave of annoyance; this guy was merely a useless waste!
"Stop screeching like a ghost! You're not even from the Ghost Realm!" Bai Wuchang grabbed Ah Zhong from the ground, "Let me heal your internal injuries!"
Then he struck Ah Zhong on the back with his right palm, to which Lin Mu coldly laughed, "I think you want him dead?"
As soon as the words fell, Ah Zhong, after Bai Wuchang's strike, suddenly convulsed, spewing a mouthful of old blood, then with a roll of his eyes, collapsed to the ground, dead.
"What did you do to him?" Bai Wuchang glared angrily at Lin Mu. Logically, such a strike, infusing Ah Zhong with Inner Qi, should have improved his condition.
"Ha ha, nothing, I just made his True Qi run in reverse!" Lin Mu laughed gleefully, then clapped his hands confidently, "See, if I want him dead, he'll die, right?"
"You are indeed cunning!" Bai Wuchang said coldly. Of course, he wasn't upset by Ah Zhong's death; for a killer from the Ghost Realm like Bai Wuchang, normal human emotions were long gone, nor did he have any friends. Everything was about benefits. Ah Zhong was just a subordinate, a pawn not quite fitting his needs; dead or not made little difference. What surprised Bai Wuchang was that he could fend off Lin Mu's Black Qi, but ultimately he couldn't save the day.
"Ha, fool, you think your Yin Qi is mighty, huh? Let me tell you, I only used thirty percent of my power. I bet if I had used seventy percent, you'd be dead for sure." Lin Mu chuckled.
Having heard this, Bai Wuchang's initial surprise quickly vanished, and he responded with a cold laugh, "Lin Mu, I must admit, I underestimated you. I didn't expect your Black Qi to rival our Ghost Realm's Yin Qi. But unfortunately, tonight I will still send you to hell!"
Lin Mu spread his hands helplessly, "Being a fool is one thing, but boasting like crazy is another. Since you dared to boast so big before me, then I'll show you the might of the Shaolin Vajra Sutra! Go to hell!"
Lin Mu roared loudly, charging at Bai Wuchang with overwhelming momentum, while the latter was no slouch, ready to face him, "Who dies it is yet to be seen! Bring it on!"
Bai Wuchang didn't waste more words, shouting angrily, and with a quick step, charged towards Lin Mu. Lin Mu unleashed his unique Invincible Heart-piercing Kick, while Bai Wuchang showcased the Ghost Realm's special Iron Claw Skill. Fists and kicks exchanged furiously, the battle remained evenly matched, the air flows around swirling incessantly with Lin Mu and Bai Wuchang's movements.
The atmosphere exuded by both sent chills to those who sensed them. Each emitted Black Qi and Yin Qi, respectively. Though different, the power of the air currents seemed set to consume everything.
In merely dozens of seconds, Lin Mu and Bai Wuchang clashed fifty to sixty times, the rapidity astonishing, their figures appearing in different positions repeatedly, with frequent crackling sounds of electric currents in the air.
Man Luo watched Lin Mu and Bai Wuchang's fight with a worried expression. She couldn't help but worry, not only fearing Bai Wuchang might trouble her, but also concerned Lin Mu could get hurt. After all, this skinny ghost before them clearly seemed to be a master from the Hidden Sect, often comprised of reclusive experts with bizarre skills.
As she thought about this, a loud bang was heard, and Lin Mu landed a punch against Bai Wuchang, who despite being thin as a bone, exhibited extremely fierce strength, reciprocating Lin Mu's punch without hesitation, crashing into him.
After the punch, both retreated, but soon they tangled again, producing a crackling burst of friction noises, the sounds of battle lingering unendingly, the physical impacts creating various collision sounds. At times, their motions almost surpassed the limits of human perception.
"Fool, my warm-up is over, now it's time to get serious." Lin Mu dodged Bai Wuchang's blow, retreated a step, and chuckled.
