Chapter 432: Chapter 401 Martial Spirit_1
“Storm Wolf King?!”
Xu Mu almost choked on his food.
Who came up with that name? They’ve got some nerve!
Xu Mu found it amusing, but the others nearby didn’t seem to share in the humor as they felt the oppressive aura of a martial spirit level. It was so powerful that it left them gasping for breath.
Zhang Ergou, who was just an ordinary person, fared even worse. His legs gave out, and he fell off his chair, landing flat on his butt.
The other five also jumped up from their seats as if they had been electrocuted, and they subtly moved a bit away from Xu Mu.
At this moment, they didn’t dare to show any closeness to Xu Mu. They would be in trouble if the other party decided to hold a grudge against them.
Even though they were forced into the situation, it doesn’t mean the other party would listen to their explanations.
Storm Wolf King’s real name is Kang Fuxing. Not only is he a member of the Kang family’s high-ranking officials, but he’s also the uncle of the young man in the purple robe. It is rumored that he used to be in a relationship with the young man’s biological mother.
Upon learning of the death of the guy in the purple robe, Kang Fuxing immediately rushed to LeFeng City. With the Wind-controlling trait of the Storm Wolves, he covered a distance of thousands of miles within just a day, reacting even faster than the League of Martial Artists could.
Quickly sizing up the people present, he dismissed Zhang Ergou, who was sitting on the ground, as an ordinary person who couldn’t be the culprit.
According to the information received, the five men who stood up were local martial artists from LeFeng City who were stronger than described in the report.
However, the gap between a martial spirit and a martial master is vast. Even if all five of them worked together, he wouldn’t take them seriously.
The only one he couldn’t figure out was the young man who continued eating as if nothing was happening.
The calm and composed response to his intimidating aura made it obvious who the real perpetrator was.
“You little beast! Give me my nephew’s life back!”
Kang Fuxing showed a savage look on his face and, like a flash of lightning, pounced towards Xu Mu.
In an instant, his entire body summoned his cyan aura. He transformed into an enormous wolf covered with luminous cyan fur.
Xu Mu glanced at him and continued to eat his food as if Kang Fuxing was merely a ridiculous jester.
“Your bluff won’t save you, die!”
Kang Fuxing’s face turned menacing. Even though he was only at the martial spirit level, he had unleashed his Divine Skill at its full potential, generating enough power to even force a War King level opponent to retreat.
Though he couldn’t quite see through Xu Mu, he didn’t sense any aura of a beast spirit, as if he was an ordinary person who hadn’t practiced any martial arts.
Add to this his young age, his power couldn’t be too great, even if he was stronger than anticipated.
Even without his Divine Skill, he was confident he could kill the boy who had killed his nephew.
The cyan wolf opened its mouth, focusing wind blades with a hissing sound, as if even the air was being torn apart.
The five other people were dumbstruck. They weren’t unfamiliar with a martial spirit level expert’s powers, but what they were witnessing was completely different from what they knew.
Facing this kind of attack, they couldn’t even muster the thought of resistance.
But the teenager before them was looking so casual, as if everything was under his control.
In particular, his calm demeanor made them feel incredulous.
“Shut up, you fool!”
Xu Mu finally lifted his head and flicked a glance at him.
He smoothly waved his chopstick with his right hand, creating a blood-red Sword Qi, as thick as the chopstick, to face the wind blades.
“Splat!”
The Sword Qi effortlessly shattered the wind blades, turning them into a gentle breeze that dissipated in the air.
“What?!”
Kang Fuxing’s face dramatically shifted.
He was shocked that someone could use a chopstick to create Sword Qi. His wind blades, condensed from Divine Skill, couldn’t withstand one blow from the opponent.
This was definitely not something a martial spirit could do. Even a peak War King couldn’t do it. Could the teenage boy be a Martial Emperor?
Kang Fuxing found it hard to believe. After all, how old could this teenager be? Even if he began training in his mother’s womb, it’s impossible for him to have reached the Martial Emperor realm.
The five men from LeFeng were also taken aback. They had previously seen Xu Mu’s raw strength, but this unique attack style was something they hadn’t seen before.
At the same time, this was also their first time hearing of this kind of attack method.
How could they not be surprised!
“Just who are you?!”
Kang Fuxing asked ominously.
Regardless of the opponent’s special attack method or how such a young man could possess the strength of a Martial Emperor, both pointed to the fact that the person’s identity was surely extraordinary.
Xu Mu put down his chopsticks and said indifferently, “You’re not worthy to know my identity.”
Kang Fuxing’s expression grew even darker, grinding his teeth, he said: “If you want to die, then I shall grant your wish!”
He swallowed a blood-red pill, and his aura started to surge.
In the next moment, he disappeared from where he stood and reappeared behind Xu Mu, landing a punch on Xu Mu’s back.
As if he had eyes on the back of his head, Xu Mu dodged to the side in time, while simultaneously throwing a punch at Kang Fuxing’s chest.
“Puff!”
Kang Fuxing spat out blood and was thrown back, crashing harshly into the wall.
Xu Mu immediately stepped forward, and with his recently attached prosthetic hand, he fiercely thrust five sharp blades. Their cold glimmer was almost blinding.
This was a weapon Xu Mu specifically crafted for this hand.
The material of the prosthetic arm was limited in strength. If used violently, it could easily be damaged, so he added some weapons to prevent easy damage.
Kang Fuxing, who had been punched, was completely stunned. His eyes were full of fear as Xu Mu pressed the blade-bearing fingers mercilessly into his flesh.
“Ahhhh!”
Kang Fuxing let out a shrill shriek, his voice ringing with absolute terror.
He could feel that if the other man pushed even slightly, his heart would be shredded.
The few onlookers, not far away, felt as if their hearts were being gripped tightly. They all held their breaths.
But their hearts were pounding like a storm.
That was a Martial Spirit level expert! It seemed like he had taken an enhancing pill, and yet was defeated so easily.
At this moment in their hearts, Xu Mu was at least a top-tier Martial Emperor, and possibly even a Martial Ancestor capable of suppressing the entire region.
For an instant, they began to doubt their own fate.
They wondered if they still had a chance at living.
“Do you want to live or die?” Xu Mu asked with a smile.
“I want to live! I want to live!”
At this moment, when his life was in the hands of another, Kang Fuxing, who used to be insolent and domineering, was as limp as a rotten eggplant.
“Write down all the martial arts techniques and cultivation methods you know. If I find even a single issue, I will rip out your heart and feed it back to you.”
Xu Mu spoke casually, but it made the others shiver with fear.
They believed that Xu Mu would absolutely follow through.
Having said that, Xu Mu withdrew his hand and the five fingers returned to normal. He then wiped his hand on Kang Fuxing’s clothes and sat back down to continue his meal.
“Go get some paper and a brush for him!”
“Er… Yes, sir!”
The five men, who were standing there dumbfounded, snapped out of their daze and hurriedly went off to prepare.
Meanwhile, a man and a woman wearing golden martial robes were sitting on a large white eagle, piercing through the clouds and heading towards LeFeng City.
“It’s been so many years since someone dared to kill a court official, I can’t wait to crush his bones one by one! Hahaha!”
“Wait a moment, don’t kill him instantly. We still need to follow the procedure.”
“Rest assured!”
