Lin Shuguang carefully read every line, judging the gap in his improvement.
First, his Blood Energy Value had skyrocketed to nearly sixty thousand cards...
"By rights, after killing so many blood corpses, it should be more than this. Why did some of them provide barely any blood energy? Is it related to the laws of that world?"
Unable to figure it out, Lin Shuguang did not dwell on it. Even so, his nearly sixty thousand cards of Blood Energy Value had already left many of the students at Demon Martial far behind.
He looked at the Undying Nine Revolutions Divine Body Heart Sutra again.
It had already risen from Lv3 to Lv6.
After leaping three levels at once, the blood energy within Lin Shuguang's body now surged like a roaring furnace, flowing without end.
No wonder the Si Bureau's punches had felt like nothing. So it was not that he had been reluctant to hurt himself—the truth was that Lin Shuguang's hide was simply too tough.
After learning the truth, Lin Shuguang turned his head toward the window and let out a long breath.
The Blade of Slaughter - Nourishing Art and Blade of Slaughter - Killing Art had both risen to Lv2...
The special skill Lightning Ray had risen to Lv4;
His cultivation had also leaped several levels, reaching Bone Tempering 51 Resonances.
"My Heaven and Earth Black and Yellow Breathing Technique can only be cultivated to the seventy-first resonance. I'm short on money and cultivation techniques..."
Lin Shuguang withdrew his gaze and looked at the driver. He said flatly, "You changed routes at the very first intersection just now. So much time has passed. Where exactly are you trying to take me?"
The driver's expression changed slightly. In a low voice, he said, "Please forgive me, Mr. Lin. Someone wants to see you."
"What era are we living in, and you're still playing this kind of trick?" A cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Shuguang's mouth, but he did not make things difficult for the driver.
Even if he acted now, the mastermind would simply send someone else over later.
He might as well go there himself now and walk straight into the other party's trap.
Lin Shuguang began to close his eyes and rest his mind.
The driver stole a glance at Lin Shuguang through the rearview mirror and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He recognized Lin Shuguang because of what had happened with the Ye Family back then. He knew just how fearsome a martial expert was sitting in his car at that moment.
But he had no choice... His wife and child were still in the other party's hands.
As long as he brought Lin Shuguang there, everything would be fine.
Fifteen minutes later.
The driver took Lin Shuguang across half of Huai City and finally stopped the car in a park square on the outskirts.
He opened the door, not even daring to keep the car, and took off running.
That left Lin Shuguang sitting alone in the car.
He continued resting with his eyes closed, completely unmoved by the fleeing driver.
In the absolute silence, billowing white mist emerged from all around the square and continued spreading toward Lin Shuguang.
More than a dozen figures quietly appeared around the taxi.
Each of them gripped a weapon, surrounding Lin Shuguang from every side.
"Knock, knock!"
The leader stood outside Lin Shuguang's window, brazenly sizing him up. He did not take Lin Shuguang seriously at all. With a thick fist, he pounded on the window and snorted, "You're pretty calm!"
Lin Shuguang opened his eyes and slowly turned to look over. Their clothing was nothing like the Divine Temple's attire. Instead, these people looked like elite enforcers from some faction.
"So they're just a few little bugs."
Lin Shuguang murmured softly, seeming somewhat bored.
The burly leader barked, "Get out here! I've got questions for you!"
The instant his voice fell—
Crash!
The car window exploded with a bang, shards shooting in every direction. Before the burly man, who had just been shouting, even had time to react, Lin Shuguang's large hand seized him and forcibly slammed his head into the window.
Clean and decisive, without the slightest hesitation!
His eyes bulged wide as he stared in horror at the cold, ruthless face before him. His throat bobbed as he shouted in rage, "You, looking for—aaahhh!"
He did not even manage to finish saying "death" before the pain of his shoulder bones being crushed surged over him like a tidal wave.
The man let out a shrill, agonized scream.
That also snapped the other subordinates surrounding the taxi back to their senses.
"Move!"
Everyone pulled open the car doors and prepared to attack.
But then—
A savage saber light instantly cleaved the taxi into four pieces.
Zhu Zhitang was caught by the shoulder with one hand by Lin Shuguang. His face was filled with terror as he watched the enormous taxi split apart before his eyes under a single slash from Lin Shuguang.
"This is supposed to be Bone Tempering Ten Resonances cultivation?! Which idiot gave me this intelligence?!"
The wind of blood roared.
Lin Shuguang held Zhu Zhitang in one hand and the Slaughter Blade in the other.
The dozen or so figures in front of him had all been sent flying by the saber light just now, crashing into flowerbeds and a small lake more than ten meters away.
His momentum was like a rainbow!
"L-Lin, Lin, Lin Shuguang..."
Zhu Zhitang stammered out Lin Shuguang's name. There was no trace left of his earlier arrogance.
Lin Shuguang looked at him indifferently.
Before Zhu Zhitang could say another word, Lin Shuguang slapped him to the ground.
"You were acting tough with me just now?"
Zhu Zhitang's mouth was full of blood. Lying on the ground, he trembled inwardly when he heard Lin Shuguang's words.
"I'm from the Zhao Family, Lin Shuguang. Don't bring disaster upon yourself! Ah!"
Lin Shuguang expressionlessly lectured him, "You think you're worthy of telling me what to do?"
Zhu Zhitang had been beaten until his eyes swam. Kneeling on the ground with blood flowing freely, he no longer dared to say another word.
Only then did Lin Shuguang speak blandly. "You said you're from the Zhao Family. Which Zhao Family?"
Zhu Zhitang said with his heart pounding in terror, "The Zhao Family from Zhongzhou. Zhao Minghui..."
The moment he heard that name, Lin Shuguang immediately understood the whole chain of events. A sinister smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Your Zhao Family still dares come looking for me?"
Zhu Zhitang said shakily, "Zhao Minghui was a highly valued member of the family. Now that he's been killed, the family refuses to accept it, so..."
"So you turned your sights on me?"
Lin Shuguang asked coldly.
Zhu Zhitang knelt before him. At those words, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to answer in the slightest.
"Bzzz—bzzz—bzzz—"
Just then, the phone on Zhu Zhitang's body began to vibrate.
His entire body stiffened as he looked at Lin Shuguang.
Lin Shuguang reached out and forcibly snatched the phone.
The moment he answered, a woman's icy voice came through the phone. "Did he confess?"
Lin Shuguang raised an eyebrow and said flatly, "Your man is kneeling in front of me right now. He can't answer your question, so say what you have to say."
The woman on the other end jolted.
After a full three or four seconds of silence, she seemed to recover from her shock. "Y-you're Lin Shuguang?"
Then she suddenly said with venom, "Was my brother's death related to you? Did you kill my brother? I know what he's like. You must have provoked him first, otherwise he would never have fallen into the other party's trap! It was you—it must have been you! Lin Shuguang—"
Crack!
Lin Shuguang crushed the phone in his hand. Expressionless, he said, "Crazy woman."
Zhu Zhitang's entire body trembled.
"Does the Zhao Family have any businesses in Huai City?"
Zhu Zhitang froze for a moment. "...Yes."
Lin Shuguang looked at him expressionlessly. "I really don't know whether your Zhao Family has gone mad. Didn't Hong Baiqing ever tell you whether your Zhao Family was even qualified to provoke me?"
The instant he heard Hong Baiqing's name, Zhu Zhitang's face turned deathly pale, as if he had realized something. He frantically backed away.
"Don't, don't kill—ah!!!"
