Chapter 317: Trivial Grit, Not Even Half of Me!
On the arena, the autumn wind howled.
Two figures stood far apart, and their confrontation had a striking impact.
One was an old man, the other a robust young man.
One was tall and muscular, the other hunched and frail.
They did not appear to be equals at all.
Moreover, the young man’s cultivation realm was even superior, seemingly at the Fourth Level Half-Sage Realm.
“Old man, don’t blame me for bullying you,” Li San scoffed. “Get down from the arena immediately, or kneel and knock your head three times in front of me; I can make your death a bit more graceful!”
Hearing this, the old man merely shook his head in a daze, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
“Haha… you’re truly a stubborn old dog. I’ve already given you a chance. If you insist on seeking death, there’s nothing I can do!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure darted forward, closing the distance to the old man in an instant, throwing a fist the size of a sandbag straight for his temple.
“Ah!!”
Someone couldn’t help but scream. This was a lethal strike right from the get-go. Li San clearly showed that he did not want Li Mu to leave the arena.
“Boom!!”
A heavy sound like a dull thunder spread out from the center of the arena.
Li San struck his target head-on, but it had no effect whatsoever, as Li Mu remained in his original posture, standing without moving an inch.
“Is he injured internally? Is he on the verge of exploding and dying?” someone wondered.
“Fool, look at that old man’s calm demeanor. Does he look injured to you?”
“This is impossible!”
The one most shocked was Li San. He had already used seventy percent of his strength in this punch. Even against a Half-Sage Fifth Level cultivator, this would be enough to severely injure them.
“Indestructible brat!”
Suddenly, the old man placed one hand on Li San!
“Millennia of Silent Destruction Gu!”
With a whoosh, a vast amount of black energy erupted, directly engulfing Li San’s figure.
“Ahhhhh…”
Li San’s miserable scream echoed through the sky, making everyone’s scalp tingle. They did not know what kind of torture he was enduring.
“This… what is this?”
Zhong Family Head suddenly stood up, visibly trembling.
“This is the complete Millennia of Silent Destruction Gu!”
At this statement, everyone around stared wide-eyed.
“Head, you didn’t see wrong, did you? The Millennia of Silent Destruction Gu is said to be lost! Only the higher-ups of the Heavenly Gu Clan are qualified to master it. That old man can’t possibly be from the Heavenly Gu Clan!”
“I don’t know, but I know this is definitely the purest Millennia of Silent Destruction Gu!”
“Then we should directly… take care of this old man…”
Someone made a decapitation gesture, instantly widening the eyes of Zhong Family Head.
“You’re insane!”
He wanted to scold, not expecting that his juniors had more guts than he did, albeit a bit blind!
Can’t they see that there’s a terrifying power standing behind that old man?
As the words fell, the destructive energy on the arena slowly dissipated, revealing Li San’s figure.
He was in a terrible state, kneeling on one knee, his clothes nearly shredded, and his flesh eroded severely, as if he had undergone a thousand cuts!
“Old man, do you dare to plot against me?”
“Ah? Are you out of your mind? With just a flick of my finger, I could suppress you, why bother with this?”
This statement directly provoked Li San’s most vulnerable nerve!
“Ah… stop pretending! You must have exhausted all your tricks, while I! have only just begun!”
With a loud roar, he erupted with a powerful life force, astonishingly healing his injuries!
At the same time, his aura surged, crossing into the realm of Half-Sage Fifth Level!
The reason he hadn’t used his magical artifacts was that he didn’t want to leave the impression of being incompetent in front of the family head.
Thus, even at the cost of his injuries, he had to employ the secret technique of burning potential!
“See? This is my strongest state! From now on, you won’t be able to take even a single one of my moves!”
With a loud boom, his power exploded, crushing the arena beneath him and charging towards Li Mu with unbelievable speed!
“Crush Mountain Fist!”
As he unleashed this move, a giant mountain image appeared behind him, a formidable skill formed by the fusion of Dharmakaya and Ultimate Skill, capable of breaking through a myriad of tactics, specifically targeting flashy moves!
The wind from his punch swept over, shaking the stands and sending chills down the spines of those nearby.
At this moment, his fist was merely three inches from Li Mu. Under such circumstances, dodging would be a joke!
But did Li Mu still need to dodge now?
This question obviously required no answer.
In the next instant, a perfect ring appeared around him.
“Defensive Array, activate!”
With a bang, Li San’s fist struck heavily against the array, causing his expression to change drastically!
“Ahhhhh…”
He screamed wildly, and those with keen eyes saw his face had collapsed inwards, with a punch mark clearly visible, not knowing when he had been struck.
“It’s really rare, the one being hit remains unaffected, while the one hitting has turned into this state; it’s almost like he hit himself!”
Zhong Family Head joked, but noticed that Bai Family Head had also stood up, his face holding a shock identical to his just moments before.
“What’s wrong?”
“The Celestial Shift Array!”
“What did you say?” Zhong Family Head doubted his ears.
“I said it’s… the long-lost Celestial Shift Array!”
“Hiss… could it be that legendary formation said to return the favor of one’s own actions? Li San truly hit himself with his own punch?”
Zhong Family Head said in disbelief: “Could this old man really have unearthed the ancestral tomb of some sacred land?”
“Will your family bury rare skills in the grave?” Bai Family Head scoffed. “There must be a skilled array master behind him. If only I could meet them, I would be willing to offer thirty percent of my family’s wealth to become their disciple!”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Family Head was left dumbfounded.
Could that master really be that extraordinary? Capable of making Old Bai say such things is truly…
Looking at Li San rolling on the ground, Li Mu had no desire to deliver a final blow. He merely hoped the other party would get up quickly so he could experiment with other things he had.
“Old man, you dare to pull tricks and use such despicable means. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Li San trembled as he spoke, his eyes filled with rage.
“Hmph… you weakling don’t even have the right to make me move. Trivial grit, not even half of me!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt goosebumps rise.
This old man was too good at showing off; if it wasn’t for the protective array, he would have been smashed into a painting long ago.
Seeing Li Mu’s smug expression, everyone looked on with disdain yet felt a tinge of envy.
“Does Grandpa usually have so much bravado?”
The Little Demoness asked, a bit surprised.
“He’s just letting himself go!”
Li Xin Rou pressed her forehead, feeling helpless. “That old man has been repressed his entire life; it’s not easy to get a chance to enjoy himself, how could he not seize it?”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but feel a thrill in his heart, then laughed, “A man remains a boy until death!”
