Li Mu looked as if he had been stunned. He turned around to look at the Dao and then said with no expression on his face, “Are you going to talk to me in such a way?”
“Kiddo, who is talking to you?” the horse-faced Taoist asked while smiling. “The master is interrogating you.”
Li Mu lowered his head, not saying anything.
He appeared to others to be terrified.
The beautiful lady with red lips from the Li family smiled to Li Mu and said, “Little boy, don’t give us stupid words like ‘it’s a lawful society which allows no illegal behavior and I may call the police’. The law can’t control us. I have a high opinion of you. If you frankly tell me where your grandpa is, I will never let them hurt you. Otherwise, even I have no right to protect you.”
Li Mu asked, “You really dare to kill?”
Laughter erupted around him.
Some were looking at Li Mu as if they were looking at a fool.
The horse-faced Taoist smiled coldly. “Kiddo, don’t waste any time. To tell you the truth, it’s no big deal to kill a person or two in Wulin nowadays. Times have changed. Now, no one can protect you.”
Li Mu nodded, “I see.”
The Taoist coldly hummed, “That’s the way it is. Kiddo, tell me now. Don’t try to test how patient I am. Or the flying knife will…”
His words didn’t finish.
Whoosh!
The flying knife which had been flung onto the trunk suddenly returned in the speed of a flash of lightning. Before anyone knew what was happening, it cut directly into the left eye of the horse-faced Taoist.
“Ah!” The Taoist screamed desperately. The tremendous force of the flying knife drew him off the ground and away. He was stuck onto a huge cedar big enough for two people to hug. All of his limbs trembled as he was dying.
All the people around stood shocked.
“Who was that?”
“Who?”
“Get out!”
“Who conducted the assault?”
They had completely no idea about what had happened, so they just looked around cautiously, assuming that a helper of Li Mu or another aid came.
The hot girl from the Li family had quick reactions. She held ‘Super Red Eagles’ in both of her hands and quickly stepped back to a tree nearby for cover. Then she looked around and was ready to fight at any time. But she just couldn’t find where the enemy was.
Then Li Mu seemed to have understood something.
“So it’s nothing serious to kill a person. Then why should I care about it… you had it coming.”
Then the flying knife in the horse-faced Taoist was pulled out, little by little, by an invisible hand. The horse-faced Taoist passed out on the ground like a dead dog, weakly and breathlessly.
Under everyone’s shocked eyes, the knife flew back and hung in the air beside Li Mu.
“Every one of you has only one chance to answer the question,” Li Mu looked at them, saying, “He has lost the chance. I hope you won’t joke with me with your lives.”
Li Mu then was like a beast that had just revealed its sharp teeth.
The masters finally understood what had happened.
“Using his spiritual force to control substances?”
“The special abilities from abroad?”
“The boy is harsh.”
“I have judged him wrongly.”
They were all amazed.
“How dare you kill the person in my Flowing Cloud Temple. Kiddo, I will make you suffer.”
By the gate of Randeng Temple, an old Taoist with grey hair jumped up from the crowd and looked like a flying eagle. He flew right towards Li Mu and his fingers opened and scratched towards Li Mu firmly like an extremely sharp and powerful claw of an eagle.
Eagle-Grasping Skill!
“The Taoist didn’t put all his force into it.”
“Leave him alive,” someone hurriedly reminded.
He was afraid that the Taoist in the Flowing Cloud Temple would kill Li Mu directly under great fury. Li Mu had to be interrogated later.
As for Li Mu, could he take it?
It was impossible.
There were such spiritual forces abroad but they could barely stand a chance when faced with those from Wulin. A moment ago, what Li Mu conducted was a secret assault and he had been underestimated so the horse-faced Taoist’s death was a real pity.
Li Mu said, “A Taoist from Flowing Cloud Temple? The Long Teng Group from Jade Gate City is connected with you, right? I wanted to find you in person but now you’re here.”
While talking, he raised his hand and met the Taoist’s Eagle-Grasping Skill with his fingers.
When their hands met, with a slight scratch, a sound which was like porcelain cracking rang out. Then there was the old Taoist’s scream. The ‘eagle claw’ which was fierce enough to crack stones was pinched into ashes by Li Mu.
“Ah, my hand, my hand!” the Taoist screamed miserably.
The light of a knife shone.
The old Taoist was knocked down.
The flying knife, which Li Mu had been hanging in the air, stabbed through his throat and then returned.
“I didn’t want to kill. But there are so many bastards like you existing in this world. I had to kill to sweep off the dust.”
Li Mu killed two people in a row while his face was as calm as if he had just crushed two bugs to death.
All of a sudden, all the people from well-known locations of Wulin realized there was no helper or spiritual forces. This young man was a terrible super master.
The old Taoist who had been hurt could be ranked among the first five in Flowing Cloud Temple. His kung fu had already progressed. There were three levels in kung fu, which were Visible Force, Invisible Force, and Natural Force. The Taoist had already reached the top of Visible Force and could crack bricks and rocks with his bare hands. There seemed to be nails in his palms. Eagle-Grasping Skill could cut through wooden planks ten centimeters thick. But the teenager named Li Mu cracked it like cracking mud… How fierce was the power of his palm and finger?
“I can’t imagine that the old liar cultivated such a great little tiger.” A middle-aged man who was dressed in Tang style costume and had interrogated Li Mu looked very happy. He walked to Li Mu quickly, saying, “I’m Zhang Yunfei from the Zhang family and they all call me ‘Shining Sword’. Kiddo, I’ll play with you…”
Li Mu just patted him with his palm and said, “You don’t deserve it.”
Zhang Yunfei, who was middle-aged, laughed out, “It’s not a good thing for a young man to be so arrogant… Ah!”
Bang
Before he could finish his words, he didn’t have time to realize what was happening. He hadn’t even pulled out his sword when his neck was hit by a palm. He couldn’t escape it. He felt dizzy and then passed out. His ‘Invisible Force’ disappeared all of a sudden. He lied on the ground and couldn’t get up.
“What?”
“Well…”
Everyone else was bewildered.
Shining Sword Zhang Yunfei was a tough one and was a great master in the ‘Invisible Force’ level. His skills in sword could be ranked in the first three in the northwest. But he couldn’t stand one strike from Li Mu?
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
It was the sniper from the Li family of Mount Hua who ambushed from far away. Seeing the situation, he aimed at the left leg of Li Mu and fired.
Li Mu raised his hand and snatched the bullet from the air and held it between his forefinger and middle finger.
Suddenly, the place was filled with silence.
If Li Mu’s foregoing behavior and his defeat of the horse-faced Taoist, the old Taoist and Zhang Yunfei were in the normal range of human force, then this scene was completely out of the scope of kung fu. It was a thing that couldn’t have been completed by a normal man.
The strong man with a black box on his back look stunned.
The hot girl with red lips and a black short skirt also looked scared in her beautiful eyes. It was unbelievable that there was someone like that in this world.
“Fire Cloud Evil God?”
Far away, one of the bodyguards from the Li family cried out in alarm in a low voice.
Everyone was lost in thought.
Yeah, using fingers to catch a bullet was a kung fu which was only attained by Fire Cloud Evil God in Stephen Chow’s movie.
But that was used under the process of art exaggeration in the movie.
Besides, the bullet Fire Cloud Evil God caught was just one from an old-style gun, the one Li Mu stopped was from a sniping gun. Their powers were very different, like comparing a toothpick with a dagger. If there was really a Fire Cloud Evil God, then the force of the sniping gun could have blown his head off.
“You… who the hell are you?” A young man with short hair and sharp eyes stared at Li Mu and seemed to have realized something. He said terrified, “Are you one of the offspring of the Saint Clan?”
Li Mu pointed with his fingers and the bulled flew backwards, blasting through the sniper’s head.
“Now you can tell me. A question can save a life. If your answer satisfies me, you can leave alive.” Li Mu looked at everyone.
The flying knife waved and created a curve in the air. Then it killed Zhang Yunfei who was struggling on the ground. Then, with another wave, the young man with short hair who had just spoke also fell down with his hand on his neck.
Then, everyone was terribly aghast.
They had come to fish but what they caught was Godzilla.
“Run.” A figure rushed up like a bird and flew to the bush behind Randeng Temple. It was a master in Guanxing Zong and was also the strongest among these people. The master had reached the level of Natural Force and moved extremely swiftly.
However, Li Mu just waved his hand. The figure, which had gone more than ten meters, was dragged back like a kite regardless of how he struggled. He just fell right back in Li Mu’s palm.
“No, no, no! I’m from Guanxing Zong. I’m one of the seven masters. You can’t kill me, or…” It was actually a woman in her forties. She looked quite pretty.
There was no expression on Li Mu’s face. He just put some strength on his wrist and pinched off her neck. Then he threw her beside Zhang Yunfei’s body like a rag doll.
“Shoot! Shoot him!”
“Shoot him to death,”
someone shouted.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of gunshots kept coming like firecrackers by the gate of Randeng Temple.
“It’s a pity that someone made the wrong choice again.”
Li Mu shook his head dutifully.
He stood still and didn’t attempt to hide.
In an instant, the bullets bursting out from dozens of guns slowed like a snail falling in the swamp when they were about three meters away from Li Mu. At last, they just froze in place and completely stopped.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A sound arose and the bullets all flew backwards at a speed which was faster than in which they’d been shot. The limbs of the bodyguards who fired were shot, but the bullets didn’t take their lives.
Li Mu didn’t want to kill these ordinary people.
“You… monster.” The hot girl’s pure white legs couldn’t even stand still.
