Chen Jiaxiong watched as Li Mu was led into the car by Brother Long, and quickly got into the passenger seat as well.
"Ah Can, drive!" Chen Jiaxiong excitedly ordered the driver, glancing at Li Mu, who looked resigned, and You Long, who looked like a lonely expert, in the back seat. "Hey! These past few days haven't been in vain."
In Chen Jiaxiong's eyes, the expressionless Li Mu was just a little Karami who had already resigned himself to his fate, and You Long, who was restrained and unable to speak, was still that lonely master.
"Are you that Ah-Can?" Li Mu asked. This was good; everyone was still here, unlike that gangster Jun-ge, who left with regrets.
"Of course it's Ah-Can. Did you want to ask about your parents? I asked him to find someone to do it. Aren't you surprised? Aren't you..." Chen Jiaxiong said excitedly. She loved this kind of heartwarming scene.
However, before he could finish speaking excitedly, he saw a large hand slap on the top of his head.
A dull thud.
"Keeping an ugly freak like you around is a waste of air, you can die now!"
As Li Mu finished speaking and stopped, Chen Jiaxiong, whose face was still full of excitement, had his head slapped several centimeters into his neck, and the car fell into a brief silence.
Driver A-Can was focused on driving when he heard a muffled groan. He glanced to the side and saw Xiong Shao staring wide-eyed, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, blood streaming from his seven orifices.
"Young Master Xiong! What's wrong with you? You, you... Brother Long, Young Master Xiong, he..."
Ah-Can finally realized that Xiong Shao was probably dead. He was so frightened that he became incoherent and panicked. He couldn't understand how Xiong Shao could have been killed when Brother Long was sitting right behind him.
.
"Smack!"
Seeing that the driver, A-Can, was a little agitated, Li Mu reached out and slapped him so hard that A-Can almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.
"Drive carefully, or you'll die. Keep driving forward, don't stop, just follow your original route."
At midnight, there were few people and cars on the streets, so Li Mu didn't ask to drive fast, but the car was driven at a higher speed anyway.
Ah-chan was genuinely terrified; all he could do was slam on the gas pedal to keep the car from stopping.
Half an hour later, the car entered the highway, heading straight for Yanjing.
Inside the car, the driver, Ah-Can, had already gone through the psychological adjustment period, and his thinking was beginning to return to normal.
With Xiong Shao dead, Brother Long is no longer a reliable option. Even if he's stupid, he understands that there's a killer in the car. Now, his only hope for survival is to return to Yanjing as soon as possible.
Li Mu, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, felt the car speeding up. He didn't care about the speed at which it was going. Even if a car accident happened now, he could sense it in advance and easily jump out of the car.
He's now considering how to deal with the three. Killing them outright would seem like a swift and satisfying revenge, but it would definitely leave loose ends, since the car had been to his villa. Staging a car accident, on the other hand, seems like a good option, like how this ugly man caused his parents' accidental deaths.
As the car approached a sharp bend, Li Mu rolled down the rear window; he had decided not to wait any longer. He slapped the driver dead, then grabbed You Long and jumped out of the window.
Before Li Mu and You Long even landed, the car crashed through the highway guardrail, plunged down a two-meter drop from the shoulder, and then rolled several times before bursting into flames.
After glancing at the wrecked and burning car, Li Mu led You Long to a vegetable garden a hundred meters away.
.
"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
Li Mu casually released You Long's pressure points, threw him to the ground, and asked directly.
You Long was completely out of his mind. There were many people who could easily subdue him, but not many could jump out with him while the car was going at such high speed. If someone could jump out with him so easily, stay in the air for a long time, and land very steadily, then it was beyond his comprehension.
You Long couldn't help but ask himself, what realm is this? He was at the peak of the Yellow Realm, his master was at the late stage of the Profound Realm, and he had even met Earth-level seniors. Even Earth-level seniors couldn't possibly achieve this, right? Could it be a Heaven-level senior?
"puff!"
"ah!"
Before Youlong could recover from his shock, a sharp pain shot through his wrist. Looking down, he saw that his right wrist was gone.
“If you don’t answer my questions, I’ll cut off your hands and feet, and eventually your head,” Li Muxin said. This person only speaks properly when he has to pay the price.
"Senior, please ask me, I'll talk, I'll talk." You Long clutched his severed wrist and kowtowed repeatedly to Li Mu.
Li Mu asked, "Are you a martial artist?"
You Long: "I am a Yellow Realm martial artist, senior. My master is a late-stage Profound Realm martial artist."
"Huh? Mystic Realm? What is the Mystic Realm?"
Li Mu was filled with doubt. He had encountered martial arts cultivators in his previous life, but he had never heard of anything like the Yellow Realm or the Profound Realm. Weren't martial arts cultivators just about things like copper skin, iron bones, Qi condensation, and Qi opening?
You Long was also puzzled, thinking to himself, "You're such a senior, your cultivation level is so high, how come you don't know about the different levels of martial arts practitioners?" But he dared not question it, much less refuse to answer.
"Senior, martial artists are divided into four realms: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with Yellow being the lowest. Only those who reach the Yellow realm can be considered martial artists."
Li Mu: "So, are there any more above the Heavenly Mirror? Can Heavenly Mirror warriors fly?"
.
Yu Long was utterly astonished. Flying? Can martial artists fly? Could it be that this senior was just carrying him through the air?
“Senior, I don’t know if there is such a thing above the Heavenly Mirror, but I have heard that Heavenly Mirror experts can stand on the air for a short time. I have never heard of any Heavenly Mirror senior who can fly.”
After thinking for a moment, Li Mu asked again, "How do you think I compare to your master?"
You Long: "Senior, I've seen my master fight, and he's no match for you. Senior, please spare my life! I still have a great grudge to settle! That person is more like my enemy than my master."
I witnessed him kill my entire family to steal the You family's martial arts techniques. I was only four or five years old then. He thought I wouldn't remember, so he adopted me back. My entire life has been dedicated to cultivating martial arts and seeking revenge against him.
Yu Long felt that his senior had finished asking questions and that he was no longer useful, so he begged for mercy urgently, explaining his reasons for wanting to save his life.
Li Mu: "Is that so? That's a pity. If we were to face each other, I could help you get revenge."
Upon hearing this, You Long was so happy that he immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude, still not understanding what his senior meant by "what a pity."
"Thank you, senior. My master... that person is currently in Chen..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Mu unleashed a wind blade, cleaving You Long in two, and then casually threw a fireball, burning the corpse to ashes.
Li Muxin said that no matter who that person is or where they are, it has little to do with him. As long as they don't cause him trouble, their lives are none of his concern.
People like You Long shouldn't be allowed to live. Someone who works as someone else's henchman has lost the true purpose of cultivation. Whether it's cultivating immortality or martial arts, the resources needed should be earned by oneself.
People who blindly stand up for others and risk their lives for money can't possibly achieve anything in the end. Even if they have some cultivation, their level of attainment won't be very high.
Looking at the nearly burnt-out wreckage of the car, Li Mu turned and walked away. If he stayed any longer, the police would arrive.
