With 90 points remaining, Gu Mu didn't rush to redeem them. On the one hand, he might find it difficult to adapt to such a large increase at once.
On the other hand, female-oriented novels are full of conspiracies and tricks that are hard to guard against.
If he accidentally falls into a trap, the points he has saved can save his life.
The carriage startled the horses as it passed through a narrow passage.
The horseshoes are raised high.
The guards in front held the reins tightly to prevent the horse from breaking free.
At the same time, a long sword pierced towards the carriage where Gu Mu was.
Gu Mu broke out of the car and confronted the assassin in mid-air.
"You did come after all."
Gu Mu said calmly.
Before him stood the young man in a blue robe, whose skills were extraordinary.
"Once you accept the mission, you won't be able to return to the capital."
A sword light shot towards Gu Mu; his attack was incredibly fast.
If it were the previous Gu Mu, although he could have avoided this attack, he would definitely have been grazed.
However, after consuming the Body Strengthening Pill and the Spirit Pill, Gu Mu, who was already extremely strong, experienced a qualitative leap.
No matter how fast the other person is, they can't be as fast as him.
Gu Mu dodged in mid-air, his sword already drawn, to meet the attack.
The two swords clashed, producing a crisp clanging sound.
Gu Mu stood as steady as an old dog, as immovable as a mountain, with his hands behind his back in mid-air.
The young man in the green robe was knocked away, and after spreading his arms, he took a few light steps in mid-air before he managed to regain his balance.
Because the young man in the green robe had his face covered by a bamboo hat, his expression could not be seen.
But Gu Mu clearly sensed that the young man in the blue robe had become flustered.
When the man in black attempted to assassinate Gu Mu, the young man in green had already gained some understanding of Gu Mu's strength. He was a highly skilled martial artist and had a very accurate grasp of others' abilities.
In his opinion, although Gu Mu was very strong, stronger than most people, he was still not as good as him.
Therefore, he was very reassured and let Gu Mu leave Jiangnan, intending to assassinate him on the way.
He felt that given the difference in strength between him and Gu Mu, he was absolutely capable of successfully assassinating him.
But why did he fall into a disadvantageous position as soon as they started fighting?
Was his judgment wrong, or... did Gu Mu's strength increase to an absurd degree in a short period of time?
In just a moment, the young man in the blue robe suddenly appeared behind Gu Mu.
He was incredibly fast.
This is also one of his signature moves; often, before the enemy can even react, his sword has already pierced their body.
However, despite using his ultimate move, his sword only managed to cut Gu Mu's clothes, without even a trace of blood seeping out.
Gu Mu dodged in time. He could feel the blade brushing against his skin, but because of his enhanced defense, he wasn't cut and felt no pain or discomfort.
"Very fast." Gu Mu leaped high into the air with a kick, his sword slashing down with fierce momentum: "But, nothing to fear!"
It has strengthened its power and deepened its foundation.
This strike, imbued with internal force, possessed the power to cleave through the wind; in fact, just looking at it exuded a chilling killing intent.
The young man in the green robe sheathed his sword, raised it with both hands, and received the blow.
but--
The heavy force slammed him back to the ground, leaving two deep footprints in the muddy soil.
The young man in the green robe stood in a horse stance, trying his best to maintain his balance. He felt a sharp pain in the web of his arm; the force was too strong.
He coughed lightly and spat out a mouthful of blood.
How many years has it been since I've been this humiliated in a fight?
Then, with a "crack," the young man in the green robe's sword sheath shattered into pieces, falling to the ground.
This is a disgrace to the assassin.
The young man in the green robe dropped his sword and began to fight Gu Mu with his bare hands, his tone serious: "Actually, I'm not best at swordsmanship, but you're worthy."
His palm technique, whose origin is unknown, is both expansive and unpredictable, more ferocious and harder to dodge than a sword.
Gu Mu had just exchanged blows with the young man in green and knew that the other man's internal strength and power were far inferior to his own.
Moreover, Gu Mu actually used the sword because of the original owner's memories; he couldn't unleash the original owner's full strength.
In addition, Gu Mu had just modified his body, and he was eager to see the effects of the improved physical fitness.
After all, he was 99% confident that even if he couldn't defeat the young man in green, he would be perfectly capable of leaving unharmed.
The remaining 0.1% contains the elixir of life.
So Gu Mu discarded his sword and used actual combat to test what his improved physical abilities would be like.
He relied solely on pure strength and speed, fighting fiercely with the young man in the green robe, punch and palm strike at a time.
Even though his physical attributes had been enhanced by the Body Strengthening Pill and the Spirit Pill, in terms of palm techniques alone, he was basically only able to fight the young man in green robes to a draw.
If he hadn't met Gu Mu, the young man in the green robe certainly had the right to be arrogant.
But the one he was up against was Gu Mu.
As the young man in the green robe unleashed another palm strike, Gu Mu concentrated all his internal energy into his fist and met it head-on.
Internal force against internal force, power against power.
The young man in the blue robe shuddered violently, and another mouthful of blood stained his robe.
His all-out attack was nothing compared to Gu Mu's absolute strength.
"How could... he be so strong?" the young man in the blue robe murmured in disbelief. "Could this strength and internal energy really exist in a teenager at the same time?"
Already severely injured, the young man in the green robe dared not linger in the fight. He took out a packet of powder from his pocket, sprinkled it in mid-air, and used the powder as cover to turn around and fly away quickly.
Gu Mu could have caught up with him, but he just stood there and watched the young man in the blue robe flee in a sorry state.
