Niran Zhan rubbed his numb, aching chest and stood up from the ground. The energy technique he practiced was the White Rhino Energy Technique, which channeled boiling psychic energy through the skin, making its defensive power much stronger than ordinary energy techniques.
Various schools of energy techniques have their origins, but all point to the Xia Kingdom.
Purit Pittal was the first to adapt the publicly available energy techniques of the Xia Kingdom for the people of Xingdu, deducing several new techniques. Because of his admiration for the color white, he added the word “white” to each of the improved techniques.
In his honor, almost all schools add the word “white” after creating a energy technique. This even applies to various cults that worship the Olden Day Rulers.
“Who are you?! This is the Kallari Sect’s Steel Breaking Fist!”
As an awakened individual from the same city of Avonigarda, Niran Zhan naturally recognized the extraordinary martial technique used by Li Mu.
The Steel Breaking Fist, when paired with the White Steel Cutting Energy, possesses immense power in each punch and kick. The force of the fist also has a highly penetrating cutting force, capable of slicing through flowing water.
The punch just now had directly severed the psychic energy protecting his body.
Li Mu casually played with the sledgehammer in his hand, then threw it. The sledgehammer whistled through the air and embedded itself deeply in the wall.
“There’s no one like you in the Kallari Sect, not even Patrick can break through my energy technique with one punch!”
Niran Zhan’s face turned extremely unpleasant.
The Kallari Sect did not strictly guard its inheritance, but rather opened its doors widely. Apart from security officers, other awakened individuals could obtain the secret method of White Steel Cutting Energy through various means.
However, very few people could cultivate the White Steel Cutting Energy to this extent.
What was even more outrageous was that the robber in front of him was only at the fifth energy level. Niran Zhan would not be mistaken, as most of his psychic energy was active in his brain.
“You talk too much.”
Li Mu clenched his fist, making a creaking sound. The Blade of Annihilation was too conspicuous, so he naturally wouldn’t use it in this situation.
However, Niran Zhan was wrong about one thing. Although Li Mu used the Steel Breaking Fist, the energy technique he employed was the Tiger Specter Energy. If he used White Steel Cutting Energy, it wouldn’t be so easy to break through the White Rhino Energy Technique.
Before Niran Zhan could react, Li Mu closed in on him like a bolt of lightning, entering his inner circle.
Under the catalysis of the Tiger Specter Energy, the core muscles required for exerting force were filled with explosive power.
He unleashed a punch, directly exploding the air and producing a sound similar to a tire bursting.
Naturally, Niran Zhan wouldn’t just sit and wait for his demise. A pale green psychic energy glow enveloped his entire body as he raised his arm, preparing to block the incoming punch and counterattack.
But the moment the fist struck his arm, pain washed over Niran Zhan’s face.
This time, he didn’t underestimate the attack, putting all his effort into utilizing the White Rhino technique. However, it still wasn’t easy to withstand the punch, as the penetrating force nearly severed the tendons in his arm.
Even without considering the cutting force of the Steel Breaking Fist, the sheer power of the punch was difficult for him to bear.
The force of the punch slightly tilted Niran Zhan’s body. Pain provoked a roar of agony, as he angrily swung his fist in retaliation.
His arm was as thick as an ordinary person’s thigh, covered in thick hair, and his bulging muscles seemed ready to explode.
With his accelerated neural state, Li Mu easily dodged the punch. He counterattacked, landing a heavy blow on Niran Zhan’s ribcage.
Niran Zhan grunted, the pain piercing his heart. Enraged, he swung his fists wildly, his menacing strikes failing to connect with the agile Li Mu.
Within a few breaths, Niran Zhan received several blows, even taking a punch to the face that broke his nose, causing blood to stream down.
Li Mu unleashed a series of punches powerful enough to shatter granite, each one landing squarely on Niran Zhan’s weak points.
Any ordinary fourth-level awakened individual would have been beaten to death by now.
Faint scale-like psychic energy emerged beneath Niran Zhan’s skin, weakening and dispersing Li Mu’s punches, protecting his vulnerable organs.
“I am immortal!”
He wiped the blood from his face and roared loudly.
Li Mu delivered a sweeping kick to Niran Zhan’s neck, the power of his leg far greater than his arm.
Niran Zhan spewed a mist of blood as he was sent flying more than twenty meters, slamming heavily into the hall’s wall.
Even with the protection of psychic energy scales, this kick broke his spine.
Niran Zhan’s head twisted unnaturally, losing sensation in his lower body. Even for an awakened individual, this was a severe injury.
Coughing up blood, he struggled to make a hoarse sound.
“Your holy relic is not bad; I’ll take it.”
Li Mu stood in front of Niran Zhan, looking down at him.
Niran Zhan was simply too useless, possessing such a practical defensive holy relic, yet only amounting to a punching bag.
Just as he let his guard down, a fierce ball of flame suddenly shot towards him like a meteor.
Li Mu quickly grabbed the war hammer embedded in the wall and swung it at the incoming flame.
The flame was instantly dispersed into scattered embers by the force of the hammer.
He turned his head, looking at the awakened individual standing behind him.
“It seems you discovered me quite a while ago.”
The awakened individual was a tall, slender woman from Xindu.
Vigie thought that Niran Zhan would easily take care of this overconfident marauder, but she didn’t expect him to be beaten almost without any resistance. Therefore, she didn’t intervene, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
“Not too long, but dealing with two awakened individuals empty-handed is somewhat difficult for me, so I deliberately kicked him towards the war hammer.”
The heavy war hammer felt weightless in Li Mu’s hand.
In the next moment, he charged directly at Vigie, war hammer in hand.
Vigie’s face turned extremely ugly.
“Fire Seal Banisher – Triple!”
Psychic energy overflowed from her body, transforming into finger-thick fire ropes that shot towards Li Mu, attempting to entangle him.
The intense heat would be enough to burn the target into several pieces upon contact.
However, Li Mu’s agility exceeded her expectations.
The scorching fire ropes snaked through the air, sealing off a vast space, but Li Mu’s figure passed directly through the gaps between the ropes.
The destructive flames only slightly scorched his training uniform.
“No!”
Vigie only had time to let out a scream before her head was crushed by the war hammer.
Her headless body collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.
The hope in Niran Zhan’s eyes slowly faded away; the once arrogant Vigie couldn’t even hold on for as long as he had.
What kind of monster was this unexpected marauder?
Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to find out. The familiar war hammer quickly enlarged in his field of vision, and as his vision went black, he lost all consciousness.
Li Mu placed the holy relics from the souls of the two awakened individuals into a box and held it in his hand.
“Now, can you tell me who the manager is?”
Drips of fresh blood trickled down from the war hammer and fell to the ground.
