Chapter 186: Combination of Ancient Martial Arts and Superpower
Lin Mu followed the traces all the way forward and soon found the sparse grove ahead. But his steps suddenly slowed down. He no longer rushed into it. He had already sensed that someone inside had stopped, as if waiting for him.
He slowly entered the woods. After walking a short distance, Lin Mu saw several people standing there. They were all quietly looking at him. For a moment, no one spoke. The atmosphere was somewhat gloomy.
“Who are you? Do you know that breaking someone out of prison in Huaxia is a very risky thing to do?”
Lin Mu asked aloud.
“Originally, we thought things were going smoothly. The plan was proceeding as we expected. But at the last moment, we actually encountered an expert like you. It seems this plan has finally encountered a variable.”
The leading middle-aged white man with a sinister face showed a gloomy smile.
“There are no walls that don’t leak. Plans change faster than you think. There is no such thing as a perfect plan. The clues you left behind will be discovered sooner or later.”
Lin Mu shook his head and said with a light laugh.
“We never expected to pull off a flawless big case to begin with. As long as we could deceive everyone for a while, after a few days we would have already left Huaxia. Whether you discovered those clues or not would no longer matter. We don’t care.”
The middle-aged white man spread his hands and also laughed.
“Unfortunately, you haven’t left Huaxia yet, and your tracks have already been uncovered. I wonder if you can still withdraw as smoothly as planned?”
A curious expression appeared on Lin Mu’s face.
“It doesn’t matter. Right now, only you have caught up with us. As long as we kill you, naturally no one will know our whereabouts.”
The corner of the middle-aged white man’s mouth curled up, revealing a fierce smile.
“Is that so?”
Lin Mu also smiled. He swung his arms, and a surge of energy suddenly shot out from his body. The Bulletproof Vest instantly shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. “I know you are all Superpower Users. Today, let’s see if you can silence me!”
“No wonder you dared to chase after us alone. So you are a hidden expert!”
The middle-aged white man’s expression immediately changed slightly. Knowing they were a group of Superpower Users and still daring to chase after them meant this person’s strength was probably not weak at all. His hands behind his back made a subtle gesture. The scattered Superpower Users immediately surrounded Lin Mu.
“I have fought against Superpower User experts abroad. Those two seemed to be named Lawrence and Kroeyer. Their strength was indeed very strong, but they both lost to me!”
Smiling slightly, Lin Mu suddenly mentioned the New York incident out of the blue.
“Lawrence and Kroeyer?”
Hearing these two names, the surrounding Superpower Users unanimously stopped in their tracks.
“I heard Kroeyer recently advanced to level four? Lawrence is the renowned King of Slaughter, one of the veteran level four experts. They both lost to you?”
The middle-aged white man looked at Lin Mu suspiciously, his face showing clear disbelief.
“Heh, whether I have that strength or not, you’ll know if you try, won’t you?”
Lin Mu gave a low laugh. He reached out and took off the bulletproof helmet on his head, suddenly flinging it away. The helmet immediately whistled through the air, heading straight for the leading middle-aged white man.
The middle-aged white man, who initially intended to block it, saw the helmet’s fierce momentum and immediately crouched to avoid it. The helmet slammed into a tree behind him, breaking three trees in a row before finally stopping and clattering to the ground.
Just casually throwing a helmet had such power. The surrounding Superpower Users immediately looked grave.
Lin Mu pushed off with his feet, and his figure shot out like lightning. He did not choose the sinister middle-aged man because the energy within the middle-aged man was the strongest. His target was the other Superpower Users around. He would deal with these people first, then handle the strongest one.
He activated the Zhenqi in his Dantian and simultaneously used the Blood Thorn’s Mist Concealment Technique. Driven by the powerful Zhenqi, the Mist Concealment Technique actually produced even more peculiar changes than before. White mist almost instantly surged around him.
Just looking at his appearance, anyone who didn’t know would think he was also a Superpower User, freely controlling mist.
The first to face Lin Mu was a short, fat man. Although he was also white, his build was far from that of a typical robust white man. This man was almost a fatty. If he were any fatter, he would be no different from a ball.
Facing Lin Mu’s sudden attack, the white fatty stretched out his hands flat. The Alien Energy inside him activated, and a strange power immediately transmitted from the ground into his body. Almost instantly, his physical strength greatly increased.
Lin Mu swiftly landed several palm strikes on the fatty’s body. Surprisingly, he only pushed the white fatty back a few steps. The white fatty didn’t seem seriously injured; he just rubbed his chest repeatedly, looking somewhat breathless.
Lin Mu looked at the fatty in surprise. Although he hadn’t used his full strength in those palm strikes, the power was still considerable. If he had struck a nearby tree, he could easily break the tree in half. This white fatty had actually withstood several palm strikes head-on.
If nothing else, just in terms of defensive capability, he had almost caught up to Kroeyer who used a Secret Technique.
Lin Mu was very familiar with the power that surged from the ground earlier. It was the Earth Power driven by the earth attribute Cultivation Technique in the Cultivation World. When earth attribute Cultivators had low magical power, they never left the ground during battles. Relying on the vast Earth Power, they were almost invincible.
He didn’t expect the first person he attacked to be a Superpower User who mastered Earth Power. It seemed he was quite experienced in using Earth Power to enhance his own defense. He actually managed to block Lin Mu’s attack in such a hurry.
Just as Lin Mu was slightly distracted, a water arrow shot swiftly from behind, followed by several ice spikes. Lin Mu had no intention of blocking them head-on. He dodged quickly with a flash.
The water arrow passed straight through the mist around him, pierced a tree behind him, and disappeared. But the ice spikes kept chasing him. Although they couldn’t keep up with his movements, they adjusted their direction, trying to hit his body.
Just from this control ability, the Superpower User using ice spikes was stronger than the one using the water arrow.
These ordinary water and ice, in the hands of Superpower Users, were enhanced by Alien Energy and gained terrifying power.
Even gentle water flow could blast a bowl-sized hole through a big tree. If it hit a person, it could easily tear their body apart.
Lin Mu stopped and faced the ice spikes, slapping the air with his palm. A tremendous force burst forth instantly. The pursuing ice spikes shattered into sparkling ice dust as if hitting an invisible air wall.
Ignoring the Superpower User who could command Earth Power, Lin Mu turned and shot toward the other Superpower Users. Superpower Users were powerful when using their superpowers, but their physical bodies were one of their unavoidable weaknesses.
Lin Mu had already noticed this during his last time in New York. Now, facing multiple opponents, he naturally used his own strengths to attack the enemy’s weaknesses.
In close combat against a terrifying Ancient Martial Arts Expert like Lin Mu, it was a complete nightmare for Superpower Users. If Lin Mu hadn’t wanted to observe more characteristics and usage methods of superpowers, and had used his full strength, apart from the sinister middle-aged man, the others probably couldn’t last ten moves against him.
Facing Lin Mu’s swift, unpredictable attacks, only the white Superpower User using ice-based superpowers could occasionally manage to use one or two superpower moves. The others, suppressed by Lin Mu’s rapid attacks, didn’t even have time to mobilize the Alien Energy inside them, let alone use their superpowers.
Lin Mu, highly sensitive to fluctuations in Alien Energy, could immediately sense whenever these Superpower Users mobilized the Alien Energy inside them. He would then interrupt the energy mobilization with his attacks. Only the ice-based Superpower User could mobilize energy relatively quickly. While attacking several people simultaneously, sometimes Lin Mu couldn’t attend to everyone.
The middle-aged man, who had been standing quietly watching, suddenly joined the fight. His figure flashed and closed in on Lin Mu instantly. His arms followed a peculiar trajectory, seemingly an ancient boxing technique. As he executed it, it faintly carried sounds of wind and thunder.
Lin Mu felt slightly pressured. Although he was mainly attacking the other Superpower Users, this middle-aged man had always been his primary focus. One could say most of his attention was on this middle-aged man. The moment this man made a move, Lin Mu felt unusual pressure.
Although the Alien Energy inside this middle-aged man erupted, he did not use any superpower. Instead, he controlled the Alien Energy to flow inside his body, just like driving Zhenqi, and then used a set of miraculous boxing techniques to fight.
This way of using energy was more like a Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts Expert, only the energy used inside the body was different.
“This is interesting!”
The corner of Lin Mu’s mouth curled up. Compared to capturing these people, fighting with an expert was more appealing to him. With his palms opening and closing, a ring of energy instantly surged out, immediately repelling the several Superpower Users around him.
As his palms flew, faint sounds of a Dragon’s Roar could be heard. The two instantly collided. Their figures moved rapidly like lightning and thunder. Trees around suffered everywhere. Faint, rolling thunderous sounds and subtle Dragon’s Roars could be heard from all directions.
Both of them were extremely fast. Lin Mu grew more excited the longer they fought. The boxing technique this person possessed, in terms of miraculous ability, was probably not inferior to Ding Yongyan’s Lianhua Quan. Although his absolute strength was not as good as Lin Mu’s, he managed to fight evenly with Lin Mu thanks to this boxing technique.
“Interesting! Truly interesting! Using Alien Energy to drive Huaxia’s Ancient Martial Arts, and it can achieve such incredible power. Today really opened my eyes!”
Lin Mu suddenly let out a wild roar. A sky-shaking Dragon’s Roar immediately soared upward. A powerful aura emanated from his body, instantly dispersing the thick mist around him completely.
