The Form Creation Realm had no further subdivisions, only minor and major attainment. This led to enormous gaps even within the same realm. For example, the Lord of Yan City had only just entered the Form Creation Realm. If it were subdivided, he would merely be at the initial stage of minor attainment in the Form Creation Realm, while Lin Mu was at the peak of minor attainment. If Lin Mu wanted to kill him, three moves would be enough.
Gui Yan stared blankly at the ruins behind him as though he had lost his mind.
At that moment, three more people arrived. Though Lin Mu had never met them, he could guess their identities: the Lord of Yan City, Xia Wanjin, and Yue Shan.
"Hiss!"
They were all utterly horrified at the sight of the Ghost Blade Sect, which had already been reduced to ruins.
"You little bastard, I'll kill you!"
After coming back to his senses, Gui Yan charged at Lin Mu like a madman. Violent Primal Energy surged from his body as the long blade in his hand swept out a sharp blade light, hacking viciously toward Lin Mu along an extremely tricky arc.
"Ant."
Lin Mu curled his lip disdainfully. Gui Yan was known as the number one expert below the Core Formation Realm in Yan City, but he was really only a little stronger than Wei Tong. There were not many Lesser Perfection Core Formation Realm experts in all of Yan City.
He extended both arms, gathering surging Primal Energy into his hands.
"Big Brother, since I came all this way with you, you have to leave an opponent for me," Lin Dong shouted from the side. If Lin Mu killed Gui Yan, then he would have come here for nothing.
Lin Mu did not stop moving upon hearing this, merely withdrawing a portion of his Primal Energy.
Collapsing Thunder Fist!
Three streaks of lightning shot toward Gui Yan.
Bang!
The lightning struck Gui Yan's blade light, instantly scattering it, while Gui Yan himself was blasted backward.
"Pfft!"
After landing, Gui Yan felt his blood and qi churn violently and could not help spitting out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Lin Mu in shock. His full-force strike had actually been broken so easily by Lin Mu.
"Thank you, Big Brother. Leave the rest of the battle to me." Seeing that Gui Yan had survived, Lin Mu knew that Lin Mu had held back. Otherwise, how could Gui Yan have taken even one of Lin Mu's punches?
"You little bastard, you dare look down on me like this? I'll make you pay!" When Gui Yan saw Lin Dong approaching as well, fury filled his heart. He could not defeat Lin Mu, but could he not defeat Lin Dong?
Ghost Slash!
Blade light surged forth before suddenly drawing inward. Gui Yan gripped his blade in both hands as exceptionally sharp Pure Yuan Gang Qi rapidly gathered upon its surface, then he chopped down fiercely!
A dazzling, razor-sharp blade light burst from the tip of the blade like an enraged dragon. Wherever it passed, the ground was forcibly carved with a deep gash.
Lin Dong's expression did not change in the slightest. With a thought, he formed a Spiritual Power barrier before him. The terrifying blade light struck the barrier, yet only caused a faint ripple before vanishing.
"A Talisman Master!"
The three people watching from the side were all greatly shocked. With such Spiritual Power, he was at least a Three Symbol Talisman Master.
"Did you three come here merely to watch the show?" Lin Mu looked at them.
"The Ghost Blade Sect robbed the Lin Family's Yang Yuan Stones, and now you have come to seek justice. This is a private matter between you. Our Myriad Gold Merchant Association will not interfere. If you need anything, Young Master Lin, just say the word. So long as it is within the capabilities of the Myriad Gold Merchant Association, I will not refuse," Xia Wanjin said.
The Myriad Gold Merchant Association had always been on good terms with the Lin Family, and the Ghost Blade Sect was also its enemy. Naturally, he was happy to see this happen.
"Yan City has Yan City's rules. The Lin Family's Yang Yuan Stones were robbed, but without evidence, how can you accuse the Ghost Blade Sect? Young Master Lin, you have gone too far," Yue Shan said.
"You want to talk rules with me too?" Lin Mu sneered.
"Yan City is a place that follows rules. If you do not wish to follow them, then you had better get back to Qingyang Town!" Yue Shan said. Though the strength Lin Mu had displayed was formidable, he seemed to be only at the Greater Perfection Core Formation Realm, so Yue Shan was not afraid of him.
"And what does the Lord of Yan City say?" Lin Mu turned to look at the silent Lord of Yan City.
"The Ghost Blade Sect broke the rules first. What Young Master Lin has done does not violate Yan City's rules," the Lord of Yan City said.
Master Yan had told Ziyue about Lin Mu, and Ziyue had passed the matter on to him. Naturally, he would not offend Lin Mu for Yue Shan's sake.
"The Blood Wolf Gang has broken plenty of rules in the past. Now you are talking about rules? No one would believe those words coming from you, Yue Shan," Xia Wanjin said with a smile.
"You two!" Upon hearing their words, Yue Shan nearly spat out blood.
"Yue Shan, since you insist on talking rules with me, then I'll use my fists to teach you some," Lin Mu said with a smile.
"You think I'm afraid of you?" Yue Shan said angrily, though he had already begun thinking of retreating. He was not afraid of Lin Mu, but Xia Wanjin and the Lord of Yan City were standing nearby.
Collapsing Thunder Fist!
Lin Mu did not waste any more words on Yue Shan. Since they had already fallen out, he had no intention of letting Yue Shan leave alive today. After four months, the Lin Family had already established itself firmly in Yan City and had the strength to take over the Blood Wolf Gang's assets.
Mountain Fist!
Yue Shan threw out a fierce punch. The Pure Yuan Gang Qi within him erupted from his fist like a volcano, and that vast Pure Yuan Gang Qi faintly condensed into the shape of a mountain, carrying an immensely oppressive gale as it rushed toward Lin Mu.
Bang!
The lightning from the Collapsing Thunder Fist struck the mountain, causing it to dissipate immediately. The lightning also vanished into nothingness, while Yue Shan was forced back several steps.
He stared at Lin Mu in horror, killing intent surging in his heart. With Lin Mu's talent, he would enter the Form Creation Realm sooner or later. Since he had already offended Lin Mu, he had to eliminate him as soon as possible.
"You have some skill after all. You actually managed to take that punch. I wonder whether you can take the next one," Lin Mu said with a smile. He had only used thirty percent of his Greater Perfection Core Formation Realm strength just now, intending to test the gap between himself and ordinary people.
Collapsing Thunder Fist!
Lin Mu launched another punch. The only martial art he had worth showing off was the Collapsing Thunder Fist. The Four Seal Art was a trump card, and it was best not to expose its power unless necessary.
Nine streaks of lightning merged into a larger streak, its power exceeding the combined power of all nine.
Blood Blade Slash!
Yue Shan drew a blood-red longsword. Pure Yuan Gang Qi poured from the blade as he slashed downward. The crimson blade light sent chills through everyone's hearts.
The lightning struck the blade light, which instantly scattered. Then a crisp sound rang through the air as the blood blade in Yue Shan's hand shattered into fragments.
The lightning did not lose momentum and struck Yue Shan squarely in the chest.
"Pfft!"
Yue Shan immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale before he crashed heavily to the ground in an extremely wretched state.
However, Yue Shan paid no attention to anything else. The moment he landed, he sprang up without the slightest pause and fled wildly toward the rear.
"You want to run? Do you think you can?" Lin Mu said disdainfully. With a thought, he fired a Shadowless Needle toward Yue Shan.
"Ah!" Yue Shan screamed in midair and fell from the sky.
