Chapter 943 960: Iron Bones and Steel Muscles
Liu Jiahao quickly turned defense into offense, moving with incredible speed to Lin Mu's side and unleashed a fierce combo of punches. Lin Mu turned to parry, then took a step back and used his most threatening Heart-piercing Kick to counterattack, fists and feet clashing. Both were blown back, Liu Jiahao retreated two steps, rubbed his fist, "Haha, not bad, you managed to defeat the Liu Family's strongest bodyguard, proves your skills aren't bad.""Is that so? But it's too late for you to regret now!" Lin Mu sneered, then charged at Liu Jiahao again.
"Not too late, just give it a try!"
This time, Liu Jiahao stood still, observing calmly, with a smug smile on his face, as if completely unafraid of Lin Mu's incoming punch, like a high schooler disdainfully facing an attack from a kindergarten kid!
I'm standing still, hit me however you want, you won't hurt me! But Lin Mu didn't buy it!
Lin Mu moved, and with a "bang," punched Liu Jiahao's chest, yet Liu Jiahao just grinned at Lin Mu, showing a sly smile, standing there unmoved.
Damn it! Lin Mu's punch did nothing to make Liu Jiahao budge, nor did it show any effect. Imagine how hard this beast's body must be! As Lin Mu marveled, Liu Jiahao's eyes suddenly flashed with a chilling light, his face turned grim, and then he slammed a punch onto Lin Mu's chest.
"Ugh..." Lin Mu felt a dull pain in his chest. Though it didn't cause severe internal injury, the punch made him stagger back more than ten steps, nearly losing balance.
Lin Mu took a sharp breath, his chest felt overwhelmingly suffocating as a hot, metallic taste surged to his throat. "Pfft," Lin Mu spat out a mouthful of bloody foam.
"Haha, not bad, didn't expect you to be quite resilient!" Liu Jiahao looked disdainfully at Lin Mu.
"Damn, this freak!" Lin Mu looked at Liu Jiahao, feeling quite regretful. He had been careless just now, only using half his strength, thinking a single punch could take him down, but who knew this guy wouldn't budge at all. Should have used full power from the start; carelessness cost him dearly!
Still, Liu Jiahao's physique seemed different from most people, with a hardness like steel, which Lin Mu guessed wasn't like the Hard Skills trained by Earth Wolf and Golden Wolf. It might be due to some special body-strengthening drugs he had taken, given his complex family background, that he might have had access to such extraordinary medications over time, developing a body like steel without any side effects. His physique was unlike ordinary people, with a super-strong resistance to attacks that ordinary strikes couldn't faze.
Though Lin Mu found himself in a rather embarrassing state, having boasted, only to be beaten to the point of spitting blood. Facing seasoned hidden masters like Jinge and Luo the Mute, he wasn't as humiliated.
Liu Jiahao stretched his fists; his body showed no harm from Lin Mu's powerful punch. The contrast made him feel a sure victory.
"Kid, I'll give you a chance: castrate yourself in front of me and kneel to lick my shoes, or else, don't think you'll leave here alive." Liu Jiahao taunted Lin Mu.
Lin Mu wiped the blood from his mouth, "Damn you idiot, you're way too smug. Do you think with this tough shell you can be invincible?"
At this point, Lin Mu had gauged Liu Jiahao's strength. In terms of skills, he wasn't a top expert. Though his age was young, his foundations were shallow; he probably wasn't superior to Wolf Fang's brothers in martial arts. He might have been empowered by drugs since young, developing a steel-like body. This extraordinary physique and strong resistance made initial encounters daunting, demoralizing opponents upon contact, making them easy to defeat.
Golden Wolf fell for this, and Lin Mu nearly did too, having underestimated, thinking a single punch would settle him. Unexpectedly, it had no effect. Moreover, Liu Jiahao was adept at delivering fatal blows when opponents were off guard.
Realizing this, Lin Mu formed a strategy, starting to gather energy for the Diamond Sutra's Eighth Layer black qi, to thoroughly crush his adversary, avenging the earlier blow!
After all, a gentleman doesn't leave a grudge unavenged, but Lin Mu never holds grudges because he settles them face-to-face!
"Come on, kid, let's see how strong you really are!" Liu Jiahao dismissed Lin Mu's preparations.
Lin Mu sneered, slowly channeling his inner strength throughout his body. Earlier, he only used half his power; now, he intended to use full strength, a formidable aura surrounded him, black qi frightening between his fists.
With a swoosh, Lin Mu charged like a hungry wolf pouncing on a plump lamb, eyes red, revealing sharp fangs. Liu Jiahao watched as Lin Mu lunged, frowning, clenched his fists, planning a lethal counter.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Mu arrived in front of Liu Jiahao, bringing a thunderous attack!
"Ah..." Lin Mu roared, releasing all his power, wielding it with a momentum like a mountain crashing down, almost taking Liu Jiahao down in a single blow!
Of course, Liu Jiahao was ready for Lin Mu's final move, knowing it was his strongest strike; once withstood, Lin Mu would lose his edge, becoming easy prey, like squashing an ant, he could dispose of him in many ways.
But... Lin Mu's force came unexpectedly; precisely, his attack was bizarre, unlike the forceful impact from before, rather, it was soft yet overwhelming. Liu Jiahao tried to counter but Lin Mu wasn't using brute force. The black qi from Lin Mu enveloped him like countless steel needles piercing everywhere, like endlessly biting little creatures ravaging his flesh. What kind of technique is this?
Though unafraid of Lin Mu's direct blows, this indescribable itch and pain was unbearable. Liu Jiahao would rather Lin Mu punch his face or lower body than endure this piercing needle, biting insect torment. Oh no, couldn't withstand it...
