“What’s going on?”

“What’s the commotion outside?”

Jia An, who was having a merry time inside the room, heard the shouts from outside, and instinctively wanted to get up and see what was going on.

The next moment!

A peculiar fireball, shimmering blue at the center and dark red overall, just palm-sized, blasted through the window and flew in from the outside.

“What is this?”

The group felt a hint of puzzlement in their hearts, and before they could react, the fireball exploded suddenly. A terrifying force swept across the room, swallowing them in an instant.

Boom!

Intense flames erupted from the room, tearing the house to shreds in an instant.

The loud explosion quickly spread throughout the Marketplace.

Jia An and others at the epicenter didn’t even have time to scream before they were torn apart by the shockwave.

Bang!

Even Xu Mu, who had made earlier preparations and ran off, while activating an Amulet, was still thrown dozens of meters away by the shockwave. When he landed, his back was scorching hot, and half of his body was numb.

The patrol team member who spotted him earlier wasn’t so fortunate.

Now he lay on the ground, dead or alive unknown!

“Damn! The power is too strong!”

Seeing the ten-meter-wide crater blasted by the explosion and the houses within a hundred meters razed as if bombarded by cannon fire, Xu Mu was stunned.

He knew that the compressed fireball would be powerful, but he didn’t expect it to be this powerful.

Originally, he just wanted to kill Jia An and the others, then stir up further chaos as a diversive measure.

But he hadn’t expected that a single compressed fireball would wipe out half of the patrol team.

Other than Jia An and the others who were blasted to ash, the nearby area was full of debris and ruins, while the ground was strewn with dismembered limbs and moaning patrol team members.

“Bastard! I’m going to kill you!”

Just as Xu Mu was deciding whether to silence these people or just run away, a figure donned in silver armor leaped into the sky from the rubble.

He stood on a teal-colored flying sword, with his hair disheveled and looking utterly wretched, glared murderously at Xu Mu.

Given the aura he was not concealing, he was definitely a high-level cultivator in Qi Cultivation Late Stage.

This person was likely Captain Luo that Jia An had mentioned!

Xu Mu didn’t hesitate, his fingers formed a seal, instantly generating dozens of fire knives, and shot them at the silver-armored man.

The second he released the fire knives, he swallowed two Qi Replenishing Pills and turned to run.

The one being able to manage an entire patrol team surely must be a trusted member of a large family, or even possibly a direct descendant.

Having witnessed the power of the Chief of Chi Family, Xu Mu knew how formidable a large family’s descendants could be. The person before him had a higher cultivation level, and his power was unknown. For safety, Xu Mu decided it was best to take flight.

The silver-armored man was indeed Luo Xu, the Captain Luo mentioned by Jia An. He was also a direct descendant of the Luo family, a Foundation Establishment Family that had recently moved in.

His grandfather was the Luo Family’s Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor, and his father was the current head of the Luo Family.

The reason he was assigned to the Patrol Team was firstly, to avoid sending him to the battlefield and secondly, to temper him.

Not long ago, while he was meditating in his room, he was blown away by the sudden explosion.

Because his cultivation was suddenly interrupted, he sustained some internal injuries, which was why he was so angry.

The reason he identified Xu Mu as the culprit was he was the only one standing in the entire scene, and also, Xu Mu wore a black scarf over his face to avoid being identified.

Anyone with a brain could recognize the criminal by his attire.

Driven by his rage, Luo Xu, with the intention of murder, calmed down instantly after seeing the enormous pit made by the compressed fireball.

Oh my god!

This power already far surpasses the Qi Cultivation Stage, okay?

Just as he was contemplating whether to retreat, fire knives formed by Xu Mu had already torn through the air and reached him.

“Insignificant trick!”

Luo Xu’s face went cold, and he immediately activated the defense array on his armor, forming a layer of silvery defensive light.

He recognized that these were merely ordinary fire forms, and theorized they wouldn’t be able to break his armor’s defense.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fire knives exploded the instant they touched the defense artifact, releasing a horrifying impact force.

“How can it be!?!

Startled, Luo Xu didn’t have time to reinforce his defenses. After a bout of intense fluctuations, a crack resounded and his silver light defense was shattered.

The horrible force was applied onto his body, and he spat blood, falling from his flying sword.

Huh?”

Xu Mu, who had already run some distance, turned back to look and suddenly halted.

This man,

does he not seem very powerful?

He hesitated for a split second, again conjuring dozens of fire knives, with a wave of his right hand they tore through the air, shooting towards Luo Xu.

Perhaps killing Jia An could postpone the trouble, but if he didn’t take care of this Captain Luo, more problems were sure to come knocking later.

If he had the chance, he would naturally want to settle this once and for all.

“Damn it! What kind of magic is this?”

With a look of horror on his face, Luo Xu quickly stood up, slapped his pocket and a small silver shield flew out. It instantly expanded, blocking his front.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

But under the bombardment of the fire knives, the silver shield only held up for a moment before it was blasted away.

Meanwhile, Luo Xu had already taken out a high-tier Amulet, to bolster himself with.

However, the Amulet only managed to hold up for a moment before it was torn apart by the power of the flames.

Luo Xu wasn’t spared, with a splash, he was again blasted off, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as he fell, looking very miserable.

“Bastard!”

With a pale face and red eyes from anger, Luo Xu gritted his teeth. Seeing that Xu Mu was about to condense that strange flame knife again, without much thought, he swiftly took out a white jade talisman covered in runes from his pocket and threw it fiercely at Xu Mu.

The jade talisman emitted a white light, suddenly transforming into a small white Sword Qi in midair, shooting straight towards Xu Mu at a speed as fast as lightning.

Xu Mu, who was about to condense the knife again, had an immediate hair-raising feeling. He instantly combined the partially condensed knife into one entity and smashed it towards the white Sword Qi.

Spurt!

The white Sword Qi was incredibly powerful, it pierced through the knife in a split second and kept rushing towards Xu Mu with undiminished momentum.

Hum!

Xu Mu activated both the defense magic artifact, the Purple Copper Heart Shield, and the Amulet at almost the same time, forming two layers of defensive spiritual light.

Crack, Crack!

The two layers of shields only blocked for a moment before they were directly shot through by the Sword Qi.

However, with Xu Mu’s body quality at the Qi Cultivation stage, along with the enhancement of Light Body Skill, a moment’s time was enough for him to react.

Clang!

The Chijin sword was unsheathed, fifteen attacking formations were fully activated, emitting a dazzling golden light. Xu Mu’s eyes bulged, his chest swelled, and he held the sword with both hands, striking it fiercely on the white Sword Qi.

Thunderbolt Sword Skill – Lightning Flash Style!

Dang!

A sound of metal clashing rang out.

The white Sword Qi was deflected by the Chijin sword and shot into the ruins, disappearing without a trace.

“How is this possible!!!”

Seeing Xu Mu manage to dodge the white Sword Qi, Luo Xu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

That was the Lifebound Sword Qi condensed by the Foundation Establishment Stage, specifically sealed by his grandfather for him to use for self-defense.

Even normal Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators would find it very difficult to resist.

Xu Mu didn’t care about these.

With a lingering fear in his heart, he didn’t dare to give his opponent any more opportunities.

Without time to condense the flame knife again, he saw him sinking his waist and stamping his foot, his figure suddenly disappeared on the spot.

By the time he reappeared, he had already come to within several feet of Luo Xu, his bones cracking, his steps pacing, and his entire body forming a zigzag arc.

Luo Xu looked terrified, and hastily threw out several high-tier talismans, transforming them into a fire dragon, wind blade, and earth cone, to attack Xu Mu.

But Xu Mu easily dodged them all.

He tried to mobilize his flying sword and execute swordskills, but alas, Xu Mu had already closed in on him!

Swish!

The Chi jin sword in Xu Mu’s hand, with all fifteen attack formations activated simultaneously, moved like a thunderbolt, tearing through Luo Xu’s freshly bolstered amulet and flashing past him in an instant.

Thunderbolt Sword Skill – Rushing Thunder Style!

“You…cannot…kill me…my grandfath…ahh!”

Luo Xu’s words were cut short as his head fell from his neck; disbelief filled his eyes.

His grandfather was a Great Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, his father was the Family Head, and his future was limitless.

How could he die in a place like this?

But no amount of resentment could change the fact!

As the fresh blood sprayed from his neck, obscuring his vision, his consciousness plunged into total darkness.

The green flying sword that had just risen fell limply, its glow dimming, and fell to the ground once again.

Ironically enough, they, the Luo Family, who hailed from the Clear River Sword Sect and excelled in sword skills, were constantly bombarded by Xu Mu from start to finish, and completely unable to display their skills.

“One should never underestimate someone from a large family, I almost capsized this time!”

Xu Mu said, still shaken.

Luckily he had an ample number of methods, otherwise, he would have met his end here today.

Not having time to sigh, Xu Mu quickly collected everything he could, and killed all the Patrol Team members who hadn’t lost their breaths.

To avoid leaving too many traces, he intentionally set a fire before leaving.

This is the Cultivation Realm, after all. Any trace could potentially lead the others to him.

It’s a pity that there wasn’t enough time to clear everything.

Once everything was settled, Xu Mu immediately activated his Invisibility Technique and disappeared into the night.

Shortly after he left, dozens of figures clad in top-notch robes, came flying over from the center of the Marketplace, riding various Flying Artifacts.

After leaving the Patrol Team, Xu Mu found an abandoned house, hid all the spoils of war he had collected there, then changed his clothes, slapped several Purification Charms, and circled the slum half a circle to make sure no one was following and nothing was missed before he returned home.

He didn’t know if it was because he was carrying too many Talismans of Repelling Evil this time or because there were people patrolling the area recently, but he didn’t encounter any evil cultivators again.

By the following day, news of the Patrol Team’s attack had spread throughout the entire White Stone City.

Everyone was discussing it!

The explosion last night couldn’t have been covered up, and the city’s managers didn’t intend to cover it up either. They had sent out experts to search everywhere before dawn.

Not only inside the city but also the slum had become one of the targets of the investigation!

“Hand over your storage bag!”

That day, a group of grim-looking patrol guards, rudely broke into Xu Mu’s house..
