The Vulcan's Dharma Form unleashed a barrage of fiery shadows with his fists like cannons. Each punch was like a heavy artillery strike, so fast that it tore through the air. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of fiery fist energies descended, dense as a sudden rain and fierce as thunder!
Zhu Wushi dared not take the blow head-on, and used his superb lightness skill of shifting forms to escape the range of the punch at the last second.
The spot where he had stood was now riddled with craters, littered with rubble and scorched earth, a scene of utter devastation.
Seeing Lin Mu's fierce attack, Zhu Wushi dared not hold back any longer. He suddenly gathered his inner strength, and his palms blazed with purple energy as he used the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.
"rise!"
He remotely grasped the stone dragon statue in the square, and with the infusion of his powerful inner force, the stone dragon seemed to be given life, beginning to move and twist, emitting a rumbling sound.
"The flying dragon is in the sky!"
Zhu Wushi roared and controlled the stone dragon to spiral into the air, then slammed down on Lin Mu with tremendous force.
"Ola Ola Ola!!"
Lin Mu did not back down. He controlled the Vulcan Dharma Form and unleashed a series of ferocious punches. There were no fancy moves, only absolute speed and power.
"Boom--!!"
The fiery fist clashed violently with the stone dragon, creating a deafening explosion. The stone dragon was blasted apart inch by inch, and countless fragments of stone flew everywhere, like a rain of stones.
Terrifying energy shockwaves erupted one after another, blindingly bright, and the entire Dragon Guard Manor shook violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment!
However, the Vulcan's Wrath consumes a great deal of energy, and even a Grandmaster would find it difficult to sustain a six-zhang-tall Dharma Form for a long battle.
Lin Mu sensed for a moment and realized that half of his internal energy had been depleted, so he immediately dispersed his Dharma form.
Zhu Wushi seized the opportunity and unleashed another palm strike, whipping up countless pebbles from the ground to form fierce stone tornadoes, sealing off all of Lin Mu's escape routes.
At the same time, he pointed his left palm at the main hall behind him and suddenly activated the Absorption Technique.
"Boom!"
The entire hall was uprooted, its foundation cracked, and soil and stones flew everywhere. Zhu Wushi swung it up like a small mountain and smashed it down on Lin Mu's head.
Its momentum was immense, like dark clouds pressing down overhead, completely ignoring Shangguan Haitang and her two companions not far away.
"Godfather, he..."
Shangguan Haitang's face was ashen. Looking at Zhu Wushi, who was acting like a madman and exuding murderous intent, and recalling Lin Mu's earlier words, the belief she had held for many years began to waver violently for the first time.
She had never seen her godfather so out of control, and she had never imagined that Zhu Wushi would be so utterly disregardful of their lives.
[That move just now was the Absorption Technique! The person who drained the internal energy of 108 masters by West Lake twenty years ago was truly my adoptive father...]
At this moment, Shangguan Haitang felt something inside her completely collapse.
Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao also had extremely solemn expressions. They struggled to get up, wanting to take Shangguan Haitang away, but the shadows loomed over them and the main hall was already overhead.
The two had no other choice but to use their inner strength to protect Shangguan Haitang and withstand the calamity.
Lin Mu, who was targeted by Zhu Wushi, faced with overwhelming disaster, simply raised the Demon Blade Thousand Blades once more.
The blade trembled slightly, emitting a faint glow.
The second move of the Avici Hell Three Swords – Hungry Ghost Realm!
With a single swing, a vortex formed, and a fierce gale howled. The Demon Blade Thousand Blades suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless fragments that merged into the storm, forming a massive blade vortex that swept upwards towards the crashing hall.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!"
A series of teeth-grinding cutting sounds rang out, and the magnificent hall was mercilessly disintegrated, torn apart, and shattered the moment it came into contact with the storm of blade energy!
Beams, columns, bricks, tiles, foundation...
Everything turned to dust in an instant, falling like sand and dust.
The largest fragment was no bigger than a fist.
These fragments struck the protective aura erected by Duan Tianya and his companions, making a series of popping sounds. Although they caused their blood and qi to surge, they were not fatal.
For Lin Mu, whose protective aura extended three feet outwards, it was like a gentle breeze.
Seeing that his offensive was still no match for Lin Mu, Zhu Wushi knew that continuing the fight would likely lead to his doom. He immediately decided to retreat and, with a swift movement, attempted to flee to the secret passage behind him.
"You think you can just leave after offending me?"
Lin Mu would not allow him to escape, so he leaped into the air like an eagle.
At the same time, the scattered fragments of the demonic blade reassembled and reformed, and a chilling and terrifying blade intent suddenly erupted, enveloping the surrounding area!
"A chilling glance!"
The sound faded, and the knife was drawn.
A cold blade of light, twenty feet long, appeared out of nowhere, swift as a startled bird, chilling and biting, as if even the air itself would freeze.
The blade's light tore through the sky, striking Zhu Wu with unavoidable force!
With his aura locked on, Zhu Wushi had no way to avoid it. He let out a fierce shout and frantically circulated the vast power he had absorbed from the Absorption Technique, causing his body to radiate golden light.
"Golden Bell!"
A large, solidified golden bell, about two zhang tall, suddenly appeared and protected it.
next moment--
"clang!!!!!"
The blade's energy clashed violently with the golden bell, producing a deafening roar.
The golden bell trembled violently, countless cracks appeared on its surface, and it shattered with a deafening roar.
The sharp blade energy dissipated, but the escaping chill spread like a tide, instantly condensing a thick layer of white frost on the ground.
Lin Mu ultimately proved to be superior in skill.
Zhu Wushi felt an incomparably sharp chill penetrate his body, his entire arm instantly went numb and stinging, his blood and qi almost froze, and he retreated in horror, hurriedly circulating his internal energy to dispel the strange chill.
After landing, he staggered several steps before regaining his balance. A layer of glistening white frost had formed on his hair, eyebrows, and python robe, making him look utterly disheveled.
All the guards around were dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.
The mighty Iron-Blooded Marquis, whose martial arts were unfathomable and whose power shook the world, was actually forced into such a predicament by this young man in white with a single strike!
Zhu Wushi's face was ashen, but his heart was already in turmoil.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"
He asked in a dry voice.
Zhu Wushi possessed the skills of over two hundred martial arts masters. Apart from the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and some evil and demonic arts, he had almost mastered all the martial arts in the world.
However, he did not recognize most of the martial arts techniques Lin Mu used, only recognizing "Three Blades of Avici" and "Snowflakes Falling in the Human World".
"What? You want to learn?"
Lin Mu raised his sword and pointed it diagonally. The Demon Blade Thousand Blades began to hum, and an even more terrifying aura was gathering on the blade: "You don't have a chance in this life, maybe in the next."
Before he could finish speaking, the pure and righteous aura around Lin Mu instantly transformed into an extremely evil and chilling aura, with howling winds and soaring killing intent.
The sky darkened, as if countless wronged souls were wailing and crying in the void, sending chills down one's spine.
"This...this is the ultimate sword intent of the Three Blades of Avici Hell?! Impossible! You actually mastered this evil technique to perfection, how can you still maintain your sanity and not succumb to demonic possession?!"
Zhu Wushi gasped in shock, his eyes revealing fear for the first time.
He had the good fortune to glimpse the secret manual of this sword technique, but its evil nature was enough to drastically change the mind of the practitioner and cause them to fall into the demonic path, so he never dared to practice it and even hid it away, intending to plot against Guihai Yidao and the Eastern Depot in the future.
He never expected that Lin Mu not only mastered it, but was also able to control this extremely evil power without suffering any backlash!
"Gods and demons are not me, I am separated by a single thought!"
The answer to Zhu Wushi was the third move of the Avici Hell Three Knives: Infernal Affairs.
The intent to kill fuels the body, and demonic thoughts arise.
The strike, imbued with the killing intent and negative energy of heaven and earth, possessed earth-shattering power.
In an instant, Zhu Wushi felt as if he were in a hellish inferno, his whole body rolling around in the knives. Even with a thousand years of internal energy, it was all in vain.
In an instant, his protective aura was shattered, leaving him covered in wounds.
Lin Mu could have killed Zhu Wushi with that one strike.
However, he was tempted by Zhu Wu's millennia-old internal energy and did not kill him.
Zhu Wushi seemed to realize this and deliberately charged towards the blade's energy.
This forced Lin Mu to stop after only injuring a few of his meridians and making a dozen or so cuts.
Lin Mu sheathed his sword and snorted coldly: "To live in the face of death, Divine Marquis, you certainly have quite the spirit."
Zhu Wushi, covered in blood, knew he had no hope of escaping and said coldly, "You have ulterior motives, wanting my martial arts skills. I won't let you get away with this even if I die."
Lin Mu knew that Zhu Wushi was indeed capable of doing that.
Although he was stronger than Zhu Wushi, it was more than ten times more difficult for him to injure Zhu Wushi without killing him and capture him alive than to kill him directly.
However, it's easy for him to manipulate the mere Iron-Blooded Marquis.
They immediately unleashed their trump card.
"Don't speak too definitively. Have you forgotten Su Xin in the Tianshan cave? You wouldn't want her to be humiliated, would you?"
"You bastard, I'll fuck you...!"
Upon hearing Lin Mu mention Su Xin's name and use it to threaten her, Zhu Wushi completely broke down.
Chapter 64: The Halberd and the Innate Thunder Spirit Root
Zhu Wushi's martial arts skills and strategies are indeed unparalleled in this world.
He has been in charge of the Dragon Guardian Manor for decades, secretly laying a web of schemes and wielding immense power. His cultivation level is also unfathomable.
In the original story, if Su Xin hadn't suddenly committed suicide, causing him to break down mentally and lose his composure, it would have been impossible for Cheng Shifei, Duan Tianya, and the other main characters to defeat him.
Lin Mu precisely seized upon this weakness.
The methods may be despicable, but on the battlefield, only the results matter.
In the past, Zhu Wushi disturbed Gu Santong's mind with his pure heart, and now Lin Mu is using the same method against him. It can be said that the cycle of heaven is cyclical and retribution is inevitable.
"You...you dare to touch her..."
Zhu Wushi's pupils suddenly contracted, and for the first time, his face, which had remained calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, showed a look of panic.
The power of the "white moonlight" (a term referring to someone who is unattainable or deeply loved) is still quite strong.
Especially for those who are obsessed with love.
Zhu disregarded his own life and death, but Su Xin was the only remaining weakness in his deep ambition and cold calculations, the only ray of gentle light illuminating his dark abyss.
Just as Zhu Wushi's mind was in turmoil and his breath was slightly sluggish.
"laugh!"
Several cold, sharp blades flashed through the air without warning.
In an instant, blood splattered.
Zhu Wushi's tall body trembled violently as his limbs were severed at the root.
"Uhh—!!"
A roar filled with excruciating pain, rage, and disbelief shook the courtyard. Zhu Wushi collapsed heavily onto the cold bluestone ground, blood gushing out like a fountain, quickly staining the ground around him red.
With all four limbs severed and blood gushing out, his breath quickly faded. The once invincible Iron-Blooded Marquis was reduced to a pitiful human stump in the blink of an eye.
"Father!"
"Father!"
Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang's expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed in shock, instinctively wanting to rush forward.
Only Guihai Yidao remained expressionless, gripping the hilt of his sword and observing coldly.
Among the three secret agents, Guihai Yidao is the strongest and also the most composed. He had long realized that Zhu Wushi was using them, so he showed little warmth or respect.
"Stop now if you don't want to die."
Lin Mu's voice was as cold as ice as he swept over Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang: "Have you forgotten that just a moment ago, he was trying to kill you both as well?"
The two of them froze, unable to take another step.
