Looking for a Beating (First Update, Please Bookmark and Recommend)

Using the Spirit Shield Technique to protect himself, Hu Donghan headed toward the Corpse Bone Pit.

The bone horse opened its jaws wide, constantly drawing corpse qi and yin qi from the air. As it rapidly absorbed the corpse qi and yin qi, the injuries on its body slowly began to heal.

By the time Hu Donghan reached the bone horse's side, more than half of its injuries had recovered. Although the soul light within its skull was still weak, the cracks across its skeletal frame had completely vanished. Its gray bones had also begun to turn somewhat white. However, judging by how much it had recovered through absorbing corpse qi and yin qi, this should already have been the limit. The rest of its injuries could only heal slowly.

"All right, let's leave this place first. If there's another chance in the future, I'll definitely bring you here again to absorb corpse qi."

Hu Donghan pressed a hand against the bone horse's forehead and sent a stream of spiritual power into it. The bone horse became docile again, showing no further abnormal behavior.

Immediately afterward, Hu Donghan swung himself onto its back and swiftly left the Corpse Bone Pit, racing straight for the outskirts of Lonely Soul Ridge.

After leaving the inner region of Lonely Soul Ridge, Hu Donghan first slowed the bone horse considerably. Along the way, he gathered several wandering souls. Only after filling the Soul Ring did he increase his speed again and gallop out of Lonely Soul Ridge.

Upon entering the Lonely Soul Ridge outpost, Hu Donghan went to bid farewell to the three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. At the same time, he left behind Lonely Soul Ridge's jade talisman for requesting aid. The three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators no longer had much impression of Hu Donghan. They merely waved a hand, told him to leave the jade talisman behind, and dismissed him.

About an hour after leaving the outpost, he arrived at the courtyard at the foot of Overlapping Peaks.

After returning the bone horse and asking the servant disciples to take good care of it, Hu Donghan entered the mountain path, crossed the suspension bridge, and returned to Overlapping Peaks.

Everything within Overlapping Peaks was as it had been. Nothing had changed because of Hu Donghan's departure.

Hu Donghan first went to the Outer Affairs Hall to turn in his entry trial mission. With the ten spirit stones newly in hand, he returned to his room.

From the time he had left Overlapping Peaks, Hu Donghan had spent a full sixteen days outside. Sixteen days had been enough for the servant disciples to restore the wrecked room to its original state.

As soon as he entered, Hu Donghan ordered the servant disciple waiting outside to bring bathwater. He gave himself a thorough wash, cleansing away the dust covering his body.

By the time everything had been settled, the sky had already darkened. After eating the meal delivered by the servant disciple, Hu Donghan turned in early.

After a night's rest, early the next morning, before Hu Donghan had awakened, he heard pounding knocks at the door.

Hu Donghan jolted awake, rubbed his eyes, and circulated the spiritual power within his body. He immediately felt much more alert. "Coming! Coming! Who's outside?"

Hu Donghan got up and stepped forward. The instant he opened the door, someone squeezed in through the crack. The moment Hu Donghan saw who had forced his way inside, he frowned and coldly said, "You?"

The person who had suddenly barged in was none other than Mu Zhengfeng!

Mu Zhengfeng still wore that arrogant, high-and-mighty air. The moment he entered, he smugly shouted, "Oh my! Junior Brother Hu, it's been a long time! I heard that you finally returned after completing the sect's entry trial mission, so I specially came to congratulate you! Wahahaha! I heard Junior Brother spent half a month in Lonely Soul Ridge before finishing the mission. That's truly not simple!"

After Mu Zhengfeng finished speaking, the killing intent in Hu Donghan's heart grew even stronger. The moment Mu Zhengfeng opened his mouth, he revealed several things. At the very least, Hu Donghan was now eighty percent certain that Wang Linshu, who had suddenly gone to Lonely Soul Ridge, had most likely been sent there by Mu Zhengfeng.

"Mu Zhengfeng, you are not welcome here. Please leave." Although Hu Donghan dearly wanted his fist to have an intimate encounter with that pockmarked face before him, now was not the best time. He also could not be bothered to listen to Mu Zhengfeng's nonsense, so he bluntly told him to leave.

"Oh? Junior Brother Hu, don't be in such a hurry! We brothers haven't seen each other in a while. Today, we must get properly close!" Mu Zhengfeng shouted loudly, startling the cultivators around Hu Donghan's room into coming outside. Seeing so many people watching, Mu Zhengfeng became even more smug. He suddenly leaned close to Hu Donghan's ear and whispered, "I really didn't expect trash like you to be so cautious. I had my cousin from my Lineage send Senior Brother Wang Linshu over, yet he still couldn't kill you..."

With those words, Mu Zhengfeng had effectively admitted that Wang Linshu was someone he had brought in. As Mu Zhengfeng's voice fell, Hu Donghan's mind went hazy for a moment. Looking at Mu Zhengfeng before him, Hu Donghan felt as though he had seen that wastrel from the Wang Household in his previous life—the Wang Household wastrel whose entire family Hu Donghan had eventually wiped out by sending evil ghosts after them.

"Idiot."

The indifference returned to Hu Donghan's eyes as he lightly uttered those two words. Then, without another word of nonsense, Hu Donghan swung his fist and smashed it into Mu Zhengfeng's face!

Earlier, Hu Donghan had felt that the time was not right. But now, because of Mu Zhengfeng's words, Hu Donghan felt that the time had come.

Mu Zhengfeng had clearly never expected Hu Donghan to suddenly attack. A punch landed squarely on his eye, giving him a black eye. Mu Zhengfeng flew into a rage and roared furiously, "You piece of trash, you actually dare hit—ow..."

Before Mu Zhengfeng could finish, Hu Donghan threw another punch, completing his pair of black eyes. Then Hu Donghan's fists rained down upon Mu Zhengfeng like raindrops. Mu Zhengfeng initially resisted twice, but with his scrawny frame, where could he have found any strength? Within only a few blows, Hu Donghan had knocked him to the ground, where he began to howl in pain.

Once Hu Donghan made a move, he absolutely would not hold back.

Within the sect, as long as fights between disciples did not result in crippling injuries or death, no one cared about mere superficial wounds. All the more so since Mu Zhengfeng was currently inside Hu Donghan's room.

Hu Donghan had mixed in society from a young age in his previous life and was exceptionally skilled at beating people. Every strike landed on the spots that hurt the most without crippling someone. Before Mu Zhengfeng could even force out a few tough words to save face, Hu Donghan had beaten him until snot and tears ran together, and he began kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Yet even as Mu Zhengfeng wailed and begged before him, Hu Donghan acted as though he saw nothing, continuing to pound him blow after blow.

Hu Donghan kept beating him for a full ten minutes before stopping. Mu Zhengfeng had already passed out from pain by the fifth minute. The remaining five minutes had been nothing but whipping a corpse!

Hu Donghan stopped the beating, dragged Mu Zhengfeng outside, and swept his gaze over the spectators.

The moment those people saw Hu Donghan looking at them, every one of them involuntarily turned away, then scattered to mind their own business—

Hu Donghan had been far too ruthless just now! Even after knocking the man unconscious, he had kept beating him for another five minutes. He was a ruthless man through and through!
