Chapter 586 584: At the Brink of Life and Death (4 More, Seeking Monthly Votes)
"Go to hell!" Shen Yijin kept increasing the force under his foot, and Poison Dragon began to roll his eyes.As time passed, Poison Dragon stared with wide eyes and stopped breathing! Shen Yijin finally stomped Poison Dragon to death! After glancing at the dead Poison Dragon, Shen Yijin turned and rushed towards the direction of the Fierce Beast Brothers!
Earth Wolf engaged in a lone battle against the Zhuang Brothers and the Fierce Beast Brothers, making it a total of seven opponents. Yet, none dared to confront him directly, merely pretending with feints to deplete the opponent's energy. If they attacked directly, it's likely they would be crippled by Luo the Mute! The Fierce Beast Brothers let out a sigh of relief because Shen Yijin and his comrades had now offered support, meaning they no longer needed to fight desperately as before!
Of course, the most intense battle was still between Lin Mu and Jinge. Their fight was still evenly matched. If there was any advantage, the seasoned Jinge held a slight edge, but this was largely offset by Lin Mu's ingenious tactics!
After another twenty exchanges of attack and defense, both sides landed firmly on the ground after a clash, yet neither could injure the other! Lin Mu rubbed his wrist and had to admit, this old guy Jinge's bones were tough as hell. After several clashes with him, his wrist buzzed with numbing pain!
At this moment, Jinge was also drenched in sweat, now that he was older and his stamina could not keep up. Back in his younger days, not to mention twenty moves, even after hundreds of moves, he wouldn't be out of breath! In his heyday, Jinge ventured alone from the Northeast, single-handedly challenging opponents in Guangdong, defeating dozens of skilled adversaries from sunrise to sunset, establishing his dominance as the number one figure in the underground world of Guangdong!
Age had caught up with him, and although his martial arts remained impeccable, his limb coordination became less agile, and his body organs reached a vulnerable state. While his awareness was still sharp, his physical capability lagged! Jinge now struggled to control his labored breathing to prevent Lin Mu from noticing his weakness!
Jinge's control was indeed commendable, making Lin Mu silently curse, "This old man's stamina is surprisingly good! Although over fifty moves have passed, this old geezer still maintains his formidable fighting capability! Truly an old demon, getting weirder with age!"
Watching Lin Mu, Jinge knew he must quickly defeat him. If it continued like this, even with his skill well-concealed, he might eventually lose. The best course was to defeat Lin Mu while his stamina was still sufficient!
Standing still, Jinge's body suddenly moved, and an invisible force burst forth like towering waves, exuding an unrestrained authoritarian aura!
"Damn, the old man has gone mad!" Lin Mu silently sighed, his expression becoming serious, and quickly spread his inner energy to every part of his body. In an instant, Jinge's figure vanished from his original spot, and a powerful aura surged directly toward Lin Mu!
Lin Mu responded calmly, using the sensitivity of the Seventh Sense to carefully track his opponent's movements. As expected, he sensed a chilling aura targeting the back of his head and spine. Immediately, Lin Mu turned and launched a fierce counterattack!
Bam bam! The two collided again, the impact resounding like metal striking. Jinge's attacks rained down like a torrential storm, leaving Lin Mu struggling to defend! Lin Mu realized this old guy was getting serious!
Bam! Jinge's palm struck Lin Mu's body! Lin Mu flew backward but managed to control his body during a backflip and landed on the ground. Meanwhile, Jinge's agile figure appeared again, with his hands behind his back, landing steadily!
Lin Mu clutched his chest, wiping away the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, "Old man, you're quite fast!"
"Kid, I'll make sure you die in the next round!" Jinge said with a heavy tone.
"Oh? Is that so? I wouldn't be so sure!" Lin Mu laughed.
"Not so sure? Heh, that palm I just gave was pretty good, wasn't it?" Jinge sneered.
Lin Mu spat blood on the ground, grinning grimly, "Heh, nothing much!"
"Oh? Looks like I need to make you remember!"
Jinge frowned, suddenly exerting his strength rapidly, and charged at Lin Mu like lightning. It seemed that he wanted to swiftly eliminate Lin Mu! Lin Mu took a stance; it looked like a battle to the death, and since the old guy was pressing hard, he had no choice but to fight back!
In the next second, Lin Mu suddenly felt he was wrong, because when Jinge came over, it was just a feint. Lin Mu swung his fist to counter, but Jinge leaped up, gliding over Lin Mu's head!
"Oh no!" Lin Mu exclaimed inwardly, realizing this guy was using his ultimate move.
Sure enough, as Jinge flipped over Lin Mu's head, he executed the Continuous Heart-piercing Kick in the air. Both feet struck Lin Mu's back, and with two thuds, Lin Mu felt a sweetness in his throat, a warm current spreading from his heart. He really wanted to spit it out!
Spurt! That's exactly what Lin Mu did, spitting out a mouthful of blood, staggering and nearly falling. Lin Mu knew that with this spurt of blood, his inner strength was lost, and he might end up defeated by this old geezer!
However, things were far more serious than Lin Mu imagined. In the next second, Jinge suddenly leaped up again, unleashing the Life-taking Linked Legs, launching a fierce attack on Lin Mu's upper body. Lin Mu instinctively protected his neck and head, but in the air, Jinge was like a huge bird, locking Lin Mu's neck with his legs tightly.
"Go to hell!"
Jinge glared at Lin Mu viciously, and Lin Mu's head became dizzy, feeling the resistance within his body was disappearing bit by bit. Once consciousness faded, his demise would be imminent!
"No, I can't die!"
This was Lin Mu's clearest thought. The image of the smart and elegant President Su the Beauty, the pure and charming superstar Zhou Xun, and the spirited policewoman raced through his mind. And then, there was that old man far away in Xinjiang. Thinking of the old man, Lin Mu recalled the Diamond Sutra mantra he once taught: "Bodhi originally has no tree, the bright mirror is also not a platform, not knowing in the illusion realm, where does dust alight."
This sentence Lin Mu had always understood as a verse from a Shaolin monk, but now in his predicament, Lin Mu suddenly felt it was more like a technique for cultivating Qi Gong, that kind of dreamlike feeling. Isn't it a type of Qi in the Diamond Sutra Zen Skill? Now that Lin Mu had reached the realm of Black Qi, according to Zen Scriptures, once a person reached the realms of Black Qi and White Qi, they had comprehended the highest level of Zen. At such a level, the human body could emit phenomena scientifically unexplainable: True Qi that can harm others!
