Chapter 479: Chapter 475: Chaotic Battle
"Haha, of course, or did you really want our master to come in person? Just someone like you isn’t even worthy of our master stepping in! The few of us are enough to take you down!" said the senior brother standing in the middle.
"Oh? Master? Are you Jinge’s disciples or Luo the Mute’s disciples?" Lin Mu asked curiously. No wonder there were so many experts appearing at once; turns out they were disciples of those two old guys. That made sense.
"Our master is Smiling Tiger Jinge!"
Smiling Tiger Jinge was Jinge’s old nickname. In the underground world back then, everyone had a nickname regardless of their status, like Smiling Tiger, Celestial Demon, Scorpion Spirit, and the like!
Mentioning Smiling Tiger was definitely recalling a formidable presence in the underground world back in the day! But now Jinge has aged, and the title of Smiling Tiger seems somewhat unfamiliar. But when the name is brought up, it still leaves a strong impression as it has become a symbol of power!
"Haha, so you guys are Jinge’s disciples, no wonder. I was wondering where Chen Shiwei found so many experts. In that case, it’s no surprise!" Lin Mu chuckled.
"Lin Mu, make a choice. I advise you not to force the four of us to make a move against you, or it will be too late for regrets!" said the senior brother standing in the middle.
"Hehe! You might not know this yet, but I’m a person with one particular bad hobby, which is that I like to slap so-called experts in the face. The more someone claims to be an expert, the more I like to slap their face. So, if you want me to choose, then I’ll choose to slap your faces! After I slap your faces, you’ll know what choice I should have made." Lin Mu said, exhaling smoke thickly.
"Heh, it seems there’s no choice but to force them to take action!"
The senior brother standing in the middle said, waving his hand. The other three instantly and instinctively surrounded Lin Mu and Earth Wolf! The four of them were fellow disciples, with a long history of working together, so their coordination was quite seamless!
Lin Mu didn’t seem as relaxed as he appeared. After all, they were Jinge’s direct disciples, considered the formidable forces of the new generation in the underground world. Underestimating them would definitely spell trouble! So, you must learn from Mao’s strategy: underestimate the opponent in strategy, but respect them in tactics.
Although the four of them weren’t as formidable as Jinge, they had the advantage in numbers, making it difficult to handle. Fortunately, Lin Mu brought Earth Wolf today, or else it would have been more problematic!
Lin Mu dropped his cigarette butt on the ground, garnering full focus, as if in that instant, with a surge of strong, malevolent energy circulating around the six of them, the air quickly chilled, giving rise to an inexplicable coldness!
"Go!"
The senior brother shouted, and the four attacked Lin Mu and Earth Wolf simultaneously, a gust of wind came rushing, along with a strong fist arriving straight at Lin Mu!
That powerful force would likely punch a big hole in a brick wall, and with Lin Mu and Earth Wolf in the middle, they reacted with incredible speed, simultaneously shouting, leaping agilely out of the encirclement.
Facing the incoming fist, Lin Mu dodged backwards, then quickly kicked forward, knocking aside one of the fists, before leaping forward and gracefully landing behind the four opponents!
"Second brother, you handle that fat guy, the three of us will take on Lin Mu!"
The senior brother among the four sensed Lin Mu was exceptional, certainly not an easy adversary, perhaps even beyond their imagination, so they didn’t dare to slacken in the slightest. To subdue Lin Mu, they must give it their all!
A confrontation between masters often results in a quick victory with just one move; any laxity would be a deadly blow! Realizing Lin Mu’s impressive skills, the senior brother swiftly adjusted their strategy: one would handle Earth Wolf while the other three concentrated on attacking Lin Mu. Seize the leader first; once Lin Mu was taken down, the fat guy would no longer be an issue!
The senior brother, along with the third and younger brothers, charged towards Lin Mu, while the second brother entangled Earth Wolf. Their objective was simple: not necessarily defeating Earth Wolf, but holding him back from aiding Lin Mu. Though if they could defeat Earth Wolf, even better, as the second brother could quickly join in against Lin Mu!
Earth Wolf occupying one opponent was also advantageous for Lin Mu—a four-person coordination minus one was less challenging. Although only lacking one person, sometimes it could lead to major flaws in their teamwork.
Lin Mu stood in the middle, surrounded by the three forming a triangular position around him!
"Go!"
The senior brother shouted again, and the three simultaneously leaped forward, unleashing a vicious and fierce attack, while Lin Mu deftly spun out from the middle, cleverly dodging their well-coordinated assault!
Dodging the fierce attack, Lin Mu quickly responded, shifting from defense to attack, as merely evading would be futile in such situations—the best defense was offense!
Standing in the center, Lin Mu sensed, using his Seventh Sense, that the aura of the fourth brother was the weakest among them. He found an opening, put all his effort into delivering a powerful punch towards the fourth brother. The best way to defeat them was to pick them off one by one; once they were down a person, their strength would start to weaken, and victory could be seized most effectively!
Facing Lin Mu’s sudden lightning-fast strike, the fourth brother was startled, eyes wide open, utterly overwhelmed. Lin Mu’s speed was so swift it was almost unfathomable!
"Fourth brother, watch out!"
The senior brother on the other side reacted first, shouting, rushing towards the fourth brother. Just as Lin Mu’s fist was about to hit the fourth brother’s chest, the senior brother quickly tugged him!
Even though the senior brother managed to pull the fourth brother, he couldn’t drag him away, resulting in Lin Mu’s punch still landing on the fourth brother’s chest, though the punch’s power was diminished. Still, it caused the fourth brother to groan, feeling a burning pain in his chest!
If the senior brother hadn’t reacted quickly and pulled him, the consequences would have been dire. With Lin Mu’s fierce skill, the fourth brother might have been pummeled into spitting blood profusely, flying ten meters, and ultimately ending up seriously injured. Thus, the fourth brother was somewhat fortunate not to have been hit squarely by Lin Mu; otherwise, he’d be done for!
"Oh, Jinge’s disciples are indeed extraordinary, able to react even in such situations! Your skills are quite impressive; it seems you’ve worked hard in practice!" Lin Mu said with a light sneer.
