Chapter 380: Chapter 380: The Mu Family’s Enemy_1

In Pingye State, inside a concealed bungalow.

A sturdy man in his forties sat cross-legged and shirtless, his body drenched in sweat.

His breathing was heavy and ragged, much like that of a wild beast.

The scar on his left cheek, resembling a centipede, writhed slowly, sending chills down one’s spine.

Beside him stood a young man with a face as fair as jade, standing silently without a word.

Facing the two men was a large screen.

On the screen, a man cloaked in a mantle, his face concealed behind a thick mask, emitted a sinister laugh.

"Xing Hu, who would have thought that in just one week, you’ve completely recovered from the injuries that old fellow inflicted on you. That is indeed quite commendable."

"Hm-hm-hm-hm, you’re in such a rush to find me, I suspect it’s not just to offer congratulations, now is it?"

"You really can’t be fooled, can you? Today I bring you some rather unsettling news. Your nemesis, Mu Changchun, isn’t dead."

"What?! Impossible!"

Hearing the words of the man in the mantle, Xing Hu’s eyes suddenly bulged.

"How can it be impossible? Do you not trust the information I’ve brought you?"

"I poured all my dark energy into that palm strike; he should have been beyond saving!"

"That’s true, your palm strike was indeed vicious. Unfortunately for you, that old fellow was saved by a fledgling doctor. Isn’t that ironic?"

"A mere doctor could heal my dark energy strike? What’s the background of this doctor?"

Xing Hu became intrigued.

"This person’s background is simple yet complicated. All I’ve managed to uncover is that he is merely twenty years old, has a wife and a daughter, and has apparently established an exceptionally close relationship with Qingyun State’s War Department and several local bigwigs."

"As to where he learned his medical skills, this is something that no matter what, I haven’t been able to find out. It only became known a few months ago that his medical prowess was already exceptional."

"Oh right, his martial arts abilities are not inferior either—he was the top candidate in this year’s Qianyuan Tournament."

Xing Hu’s eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment, "Merely twenty, yet with such medical expertise and martial arts prowess. This fellow sounds interesting."

The man in the mantle let out another strange chuckle, "What’s more interesting is that Mu Kongwen seems intent on recruiting him to deal with you. Moreover, Mu Kongwen also enlisted the help of the five great masters of the great Daxia Kingdom."

"I’m afraid your bold declaration to eradicate the Mu Family in a month might not be as easy to achieve as you anticipated."

"Hahaha!"

At these words, Xing Hu tipped his head back and laughed wildly.

The massive centipede-like scar on his face quivered violently, an unsettling sight.

"Wu Kun, are you mistaking me for a failure like you?"

"Audacious! What did you say?!"

The mantle-clad man suddenly looked up, his chilling gaze piercing through the screen.

"Audacious? Who is the audacious one here, raising your voice so loudly at me?"

Xing Hu tensed and a surge of formidable aura burst forth in all directions.

A nearby teacup, the picture frame on the wall, and the chandelier on the ceiling shattered instantly.

The man in the mantle hesitated, "Xing Hu, it seems your strength has improved yet another level, hasn’t it?"

"One level? Hahaha! Wu Kun, your foresight is indeed myopic."

Xing Hu grabbed a revolver from the table, aiming it at his chest and pulling the trigger six times.

After six shots, Xing Hu’s body had six iron slugs on it.

Once the slugs fell off, he remained completely unharmed! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The man in the mantle was startled, "You! You’ve actually mastered the Vajra Cover?"

"Is that all?"

Xing Hu said, condensing his inner power and striking the wall to his right with his palm.

Instantly, a torrent of dark energy burst forth, turning an entire wall into dust.

The mantle-clad man was astounded again, "The Four Harmonies Divine Skill?! You’ve actually mastered the Four Harmonies Divine Skill?"

Xing Hu smirked, "It’s not fully mastered yet; I can currently only exert fifty percent of its power. But I believe that in a month’s time, I’ll be able to wield its full power."

"By then, even if the Mu Family enlists more masters, it will be futile! I will surely eradicate the entire Mu Family!"

The man in the mantle, eyes filled with envy, sneered, "Xing Hu, the Mu family is not a flock of sheep for the slaughter. Don’t forget the lesson that pride comes before a fall. Didn’t you also claim to have dealt with Mu Changchun last time?"

"This time is different!"

Xing Hu bellowed.

"Now that I’ve mastered two sets of peak-level dark arts martial skills, aside from those great recluses who cultivate in seclusion, who in the wide world can match me?"

Wu Kun said nothing more.

Because he knew, Xing Hu wasn’t boasting at all.

If in a month, Xing Hu also perfected the Four Harmonies Divine Skill,

Then this man would surely become an unparalleled force in the martial world.

The only ones who could defeat him would be those half-human, half-immortal creatures hidden away in the deep mountains and forests.

However, it was beyond the Mu Family’s capability to enlist such experts.

Not even the imperial family might have the clout to do so.

...

Ye Fei, having acquired the Immortal Fate Technique, began to cultivate in earnest that very night.

With a profound spiritual root and a solid foundation,

Even the complex and difficult Immortal Fate Technique was quickly assimilated by him.

In just a single night, Ye Fei managed to break through the first layer.

This also doubled his strength!
