"Robbers, don’t flee, protect Lord Li!"

The brother and sister called out urgently, then disappeared into the shadows, withdrawing from the fierce battle under the guise of protecting Li Qiu.

"Wang Xuantian..."

In the ruins, only Su Mu and Wang Xuantian were left facing each other from a distance; their gazes clashed, seemingly causing sparks to fly and air to twist around them.

The Black Mountain Celestial King, whose name was Wang Xuantian, had a fearsome reputation since Su Mu was brought to Dongbian Village by the death warriors’ leader, making a name for himself across the Three Counties, even reputed to stop children from crying at night. The Black Mountain Rebel Army was also entrenched in the Three Counties, with no other faction daring to provoke them.

Despite Su Mu’s cautious nature and reluctance to provoke easily, fate led Su Mu to stand against the Black Mountain Rebel Army eventually.

Tonight’s events completely surprised Su Mu, who originally thought he was simply going to Shuangbai Town to bring Li Qiu back to the Land of Cyan Clouds. However, he unexpectedly encountered this ’Black Mountain Celestial King’ head-on tonight.

"For a place like the Land of Cyan Clouds to produce someone like you, what a remarkable ’Unparalleled Boxing and Stick Skills’ Li Feiyu. I have a question nagging in my heart, why do you repeatedly target my Black Mountain Army?"

Wang Xuantian did not make a direct move. He peered at Su Mu through the bright and clear eyes of the black tiger mask, giving Su Mu high praise, then continued in a calm tone, neither joyful nor sad, as if they had no enmity, merely strangers meeting by chance.

"No comment." Naturally, Su Mu would not divulge the affairs of Qingshui Town, staring directly at Wang Xuantian, "I also have a question to ask you, the Black Mountain Celestial King."

"Interesting, ask away."

Wang Xuantian grinned, but his smile under the black tiger mask froze as Su Mu uttered three words, with intense killing intent surging from the depths of Wang Xuantian’s bright eyes.

"Ding Shisi."

As Su Mu slowly uttered the three words. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The moment the three words dropped, Su Mu immediately noticed Wang Xuantian’s entire demeanor changed, from a person with no joy or sorrow to one bursting with boundless killing intent.

"Wang Xuantian... sure knows something!"

Swish, swish!

As thoughts raced, the muscle veins within Su Mu’s body stretched suddenly like flood dragons swimming, a terrifying Gang Force surged out from his Dantian like white jade.

Previously, it was already proven that under Su Mu’s explosive Jiao Tendon Jade Bone and terrifying Gang Force, even the formidable Left and Right Protectors of the Rebel Army were vulnerable and unmatched before Su Mu.

Su Mu captured the information he wanted and immediately took preemptive action. After all, he and the Black Mountain Rebel Army were already in a life-or-death, kill-or-be-killed situation.

Boom!

Su Mu fiercely punched out with his right fist, Gang Force surged through his body, covering his fist, cutting through the air with its indomitable force, the piercing roar akin to the sound of tearing silk.

Thunder Shock Fist · Thunder Shocking the Sky.

Silver snakes rampaged, beams of thunder and flood dragons tore through the long night instantly; ordinary fists and kicks were already incredibly powerful under the boost of Gang Force, and now wielding Thunder Shock Fist had destructive power enough to obliterate hills.

Crash!

Facing this punch, Wang Xuantian neither ducked nor dodged, letting Thunder Shocking the Sky hit his chest directly, and waves of concentrated Gang Force exploded out, emitting terrifying boom sounds.

However.

Su Mu’s pupils contracted slightly, as within his perception, his punch’s surging Gang Force hit Wang Xuantian’s flesh, but Wang Xuantian’s body erupted with an evil black mist that rippled like water, making Su Mu feel as though he was striking a massive beast like a mountain. Wang Xuantian’s body merely swayed slightly.

"Crack, crack!"

Purple lightning silver snakes formed from concentrated Gang Force shot out, timbers of collapsed eaves and pillars within a radius crumbled inch by inch, and even surviving old peach trees exploded instantly under the punch’s impact.

Su Mu’s punch demonstrated astonishing destructive power.

Yet, enduring Su Mu’s terrifyingly destructive punch, Wang Xuantian only snorted coldly, "Your punch lacks a punch, Liu Family seems to lack any capable individuals... Now take a punch from me!"

Liu Family?

Su Mu keenly caught Wang Xuantian’s mention of the Liu Family, a thought coursed through his mind, realizing the death warriors were presumably connected to this so-called Liu Family. Su Mu also suddenly felt he had once heard mention of this Liu Family from others.

But at present, Su Mu couldn’t afford much thought as Wang Xuantian wouldn’t give him time to be distracted.

When Wang Xuantian extended his five fingers, an unmatched invisible power surged instantly; the sky seemed to be held within Wang Xuantian’s grasp, pressing onto the air with a series of exploding sounds.

"Boom!"

Before Wang Xuantian’s punch was even thrown, it caused Su Mu to feel suffocated, as if an immense mountain was truly descending upon him, even making the three-inch Crimson Flame on Su Mu’s body flicker unsteadily.

Faced with this overwhelming punch, Su Mu’s heart beat powerfully under his chest, his entire blood boiling, the earlier skirmish with the Blind Swordsman and the burly man was merely a warm-up for Su Mu who had now condensed his Gang Force, it was only Wang Xuantian who could bring Su Mu immense pressure, igniting his fighting spirit.

"Come!"

Su Mu let out a long shout, his feet gripped the earth firmly, be it Fist Technique, Body Technique, or Spear Technique, practicing martial arts required starting with stance training, Su Mu was adept at dozens of martial arts, mastering the skills thoroughly, as his body with Jiao Tendon Jade Bone was fully activated.

A body created by Cross-Training Martial Arts endowed with terrifying physical power.

Unmatched Gang Force condensed from twenty-two lines of power.
