Tycoon War God

HISS! This guy took three of Xu Feng’s punches and he’s fine?

Xiao Wu gasped, his feelings for Lin Mu now a mixture of admiration and respect. Men like them, who had crawled their way through the battlefield, respected the strong above all else.

Xu Feng’s current strength hadn’t just increased by a large margin—it had literally doubled. Yet, Lin Mu had managed to withstand such a punch with his body alone.

Is his body made of iron? Or is he really wearing some kind of armor, like Xu Feng said?

Da Jun’s expression also turned extremely grave. He could tell that Lin Mu wasn’t wearing any armor and had withstood Xu Feng’s three punches with his body alone. This was something even he couldn’t do.

”Old General, who exactly is this person?” Da Jun couldn’t help but ask.

Guan Chengye was also slightly stunned. After all, even he wouldn’t dare claim he could take three of Xu Feng’s punches and remain unscathed.

”A Martial Arts Grandmaster.”

To Da Jun’s question, Guan Chengye offered just those four words.

”A Martial Arts Grandmaster?”

Da Jun’s expression changed dramatically, and he exclaimed in disbelief, ”How is that possible?”

Lin Mu isn’t older than me, is he? Is he even thirty? A Martial Arts Grandmaster under thirty... Does such a young Grandmaster even exist in the world?

”Brother Da Jun, what is a Martial Arts Grandmaster?” Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

Da Jun suppressed his astonishment and explained, ”A Martial Arts Grandmaster is someone who has reached a state of natural simplicity. Their True Qi is contained within, their will is connected to Heaven and Earth, and they can injure people with nothing more than a tossed flower or a falling leaf.”

Xiao Wu’s confusion only deepened, because he still didn’t understand.

Da Jun fell silent, but the shock in his heart was far from settled. No wonder he’d thought Lin Mu’s movements and posture seemed so ordinary, not like a martial artist at all. It turned out he had long since reached that state of natural simplicity.

It’s said that those in the Grandmaster Realm can perceive the Great Way of Heaven and Earth and can even begin to borrow the power of nature itself. Fighting a Grandmaster is like fighting Heaven and Earth. How could anyone win? If Lin Mu truly is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, then...

Sensing Da Jun’s thoughts, Guan Chengye couldn’t help but admonish him. ”A Grandmaster is revered by thousands, an encounter of a lifetime. Don’t be greedy.” A Martial Arts Grandmaster stands at the pinnacle of the Martial Arts World. To even meet one is a stroke of incredible luck. Daring to hope for more is simply courting death.

”Your teaching is correct, General!” Da Jun was startled back to his senses, and the thoughts in his mind instantly scattered.

Guan Chengye sighed heavily in his heart. Unfortunately, my own girl, Jiaojiao, lacks any talent for the Martial Way and cannot train. Otherwise, I would swallow my pride and throw away this old face of mine just to have Guan Jiaojiao study under Master Lin.

...

Xu Feng looked at Lin Mu in disbelief. His third punch had failed to kill him. The man’s expression hadn’t even flickered.

At that moment, a sense of desperation washed over Xu Feng. It was only after Lin Mu spoke that Xu Feng felt a true surge of fear.

”You... what do you want?” Xu Feng stumbled back three steps, his complexion ghastly.

”What do I want?” Lin Mu said coolly. ”Since I’ve taken three of your punches, isn’t it only fair that you take three of mine now?”

”You...” Xu Feng stared at Lin Mu with a menacing look. ”Kid, my master is Liu Xianhe. If you dare to hurt me, you won’t survive either!”

”Enough nonsense. Take my punch.” As soon as Lin Mu finished speaking, he began walking slowly toward Xu Feng.

Xu Feng’s expression shifted slightly, but as he watched Lin Mu’s movements, which in no way resembled a martial artist’s, he began to relax. Every martial artist had unique characteristics in their posture and gait that set them apart from ordinary people. Lin Mu’s steps, however, were uneven, and his posture was loose and sloppy—clearly, he had never trained.

He must have withstood my three punches because of some kind of armor he’s wearing.

Thinking this, Xu Feng took a deep breath and declared in a low voice, ”So what if I take three of your punches!”

Lin Mu gave a faint smile. In an instant, his figure blurred into an afterimage, lunging straight for Xu Feng. The change was instantaneous. One moment he was placid, the next he moved with the swiftness of a startled rabbit.

At that moment, Xu Feng’s expression changed drastically.

”NO!” he cried out.

SPURT!

A fist smashed directly into his chest. He was sent flying backward, a spray of blood misting the air.

THUD!

Xu Feng’s body hit the ground and slid across the surface for some distance before finally stopping.

GACK!

As soon as he came to a halt, Xu Feng coughed up another mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale. But even worse than the searing pain in his chest was the absolute terror flooding his heart.

”You...”

Lin Mu walked toward him step by step, stopping three paces away.

”Tell me,” Lin Mu said, looking down at him with a cold gaze, ”where did you get that Gu Insect?”

I held back, but this Xu Feng is incredibly weak. He couldn’t even take one hit. He’s completely finished. But that’s not what I care about. I need to know about that Gu Insect.

”You bastard, you injured me! My master will never let you get away with this!” Xu Feng spat defiantly, daring to threaten Lin Mu even while severely injured.

”Threatening me?” Lin Mu’s eyes grew cold. ”Too bad you picked the wrong person.”

As his words fell, Lin Mu’s fist shot out again, smashing into Xu Feng’s Dantian.

CRACK!

A sickening snap echoed as Xu Feng’s Dantian was shattered by the punch.

”AHH!”

A heart-wrenching scream tore from Xu Feng’s lips. ”You little bastard, you dare to ruin my Dantian?! My master will kill you! Not just you, but your entire family! He won’t spare a single one!” Xu Feng’s face was a twisted mask of venomous hatred.

With his Dantian destroyed, Xu Feng was now a cripple, even weaker than an ordinary person.

”It seems my fists aren’t hard enough,” Lin Mu mused, a murderous glint in his eyes as he prepared to throw his third punch.

”DON’T! I’LL TALK! I’LL TALK!” Xu Feng shrieked, his pupils shrinking in terror.

”This Southern Region Gu Insect... My master obtained it by accident. Taking it can temporarily raise your Cultivation Level, but the side effects are extreme,” Xu Feng hurriedly explained.

Lin Mu’s eyes turned cold. ”Is that all?”

Xu Feng nodded frantically.

”Did you know,” Lin Mu said calmly, ”you’ve just lost your chance to live.”

Xu Feng shook his head vehemently. ”I told you everything! I swear I didn’t lie to you!”

”Really?” Lin Mu asked suddenly. ”You’re actually from the Dark Web, aren’t you?”

Xu Feng’s pupils contracted, his face a canvas of pure shock and terror.

”You... How did you know?”
