Why do you see yourself as some kind of Big Shot when facing the provocation of a mere nobody?
Clenching his fists, Qi Min sneered, "Don't play dumb. You should be able to guess that it's Uncle Sima Weimin who brought me to the Sima Family, hoping to introduce me to Miss Sima as a friend."
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed; she's my woman now."
Lin Mo said calmly.
"However, it's unfortunate that once something is compared, its quality becomes evident. You should be able to see that Uncle Sima has a good impression of me, but not of you." Qi Min slightly raised his chin, deliberately trying to boost his aura in a provocative manner.
But no matter what he did, Lin Mo was like an unfathomable sea, indescribable and inscrutable, calm as the ocean.
"Are you done? Then I'm going home."
Lin Mo glanced at him lightly, his expression still indifferent.
"Do you know who I am?" Qi Min frowned, an aura of immense power emanating from him.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Lin Mo said calmly.
"When you find out who I am and witness my strength, you'll naturally realize you're unworthy of Miss Sima and leave her willingly." Qi Min gritted his teeth and suddenly punched the nearby streetlight.
"Bang!"
A loud noise suddenly rang out in the silent night, and the streetlight wrapped in black iron was punched directly into a dent and bent down.
Lin Mo glanced at him indifferently and turned to walk home. "Pretending." Qi Min looked at Lin Mo's back, thinking Lin Mo was feigning calmness but was actually scared inside. "If it weren't for the martial arts hall rules prohibiting action against ordinary people, I would certainly teach you a lesson."
Just less than five minutes after Lin Mo left.
Two black shadows suddenly darted toward Qi Min, swiftly appearing beside him.
"Hmm, why are you two here?"
Qi Min looked at the people who suddenly appeared in front of him, not showing any surprise, and asked curiously.
The two who appeared were an adolescent youth and a young girl, both in their early twenties.
The young man was about 1.8 meters tall, dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit that accentuated his robust physique, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving off an oppressive vibe. His name was Wu Yun.
"Du Li and I finished our business and came to see your blind date with the Sima Family's eldest daughter." Wu Yun grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
"It didn't go too well, but I'm also here just to avoid disrespecting Uncle Sima. Just met an annoying guy." Qi Min snorted lightly.
Wu Yun raised an eyebrow, "Oh, who dares to upset Mr. Qi, do you want me to show him some color?"
"You two better not act recklessly. The instructor is coming to the Imperial City in a few days. If he finds out, I'll be punished too." The young woman frowned slightly, speaking softly.
The woman was also dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit, highlighting her graceful figure. Due to long-term training, she had no excess fat and was moderately attractive. Her name was Du Li.
"I'm just saying, if the instructor finds out, we might be thrown into solitary confinement." Wu Yun shrugged with a smile.
"Let's go back to the hotel."
Qi Min said.
The three of them slightly bent their knees and soon turned into three black shadows, disappearing from the scene.
Back at the hotel.
Qi Min was planning to take a shower and go to sleep when suddenly his phone rang nearby.
"Hello, Uncle Sima"
Qi Min saw the caller ID and picked up the phone.
After hanging up the call, Qi Min froze on the spot and clenched his fists forcefully, the knuckles making cracking sounds due to the pressure.
"Number one expert?" Qi Min murmured, then snorted lightly, "Anyone dares to call themselves the number one expert, only because people from our Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall haven't appeared yet, just some arrogant fool."
But Qi Min then recalled the scene under the streetlight, Lin Mo didn't seem too surprised when he saw him punch and bend the streetlight, and ignored him as he left, clearly showing he didn't regard him. Previously, he thought Lin Mo didn't know martial arts.
"That wretched guy actually disdains me." Qi Min clenched his fists tightly.
Far away in America.
In a barren desert, due to the time difference between America and Huaxia, while it's nighttime in Huaxia, it's broad daylight here.
"Boom boom!"
Two massive sounds suddenly rang out in the vast desert.
A black vortex-like figure appeared in the sky, followed by two figures who flashed, standing in mid-air, with the black vortex behind them gradually reducing and finally disappearing.
"Lin Mo, I must kill you!"
An angry roar erupted from one person's mouth, shaking the surrounding space, reverberating in the skies.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
In the desert, dozens of sand columns blasted into the sky due to the aura, soaring more than ten meters high.
The two appearing in the sky were none other than the Hongmen Ancestor and Yuri, coming out from the Ancient Battlefield Ruins.
Yuri's eyes also emitted a chilling aura, clenching his fists. Lin Mo had taken away tens of thousands of Energy Crystals, and he felt a deep-seated hatred.
"Breakthrough!"
The Hongmen Ancestor sat cross-legged in mid-air.
Pale red mist shrouded him, swirling continuously, as the aura within his body began to rise. Restricted mana within him in the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, he was eager to unleash suppressed power after leaving.
Meanwhile, Yuri remained silent, covered in thunder, densely packed, enveloping him into a Thunderball.
After an hour, both of them simultaneously had the anomalies on their bodies dissipate.
"Damn it."
The Hongmen Ancestor's face was extremely displeased as he cursed angrily, "If Lin Mo hadn't stolen the Energy Crystals, I should have smoothly advanced to the Innate Realm."
"I haven't advanced to the Lower God's realm either." Yuri's eyes surrounded by a circle of golden thunder, where lightning burst from his eyes, creating two deep pits in the desert blowing up sand that was swiftly carried away by the wind.
"Yuri, now we should cooperate, find Lin Mo, kill him and take his treasures." The Hongmen Ancestor turned and said to Yuri.
Yuri nodded and frowned, "But won't that guy's strength have improved a lot? Killing him would be very difficult."
"His cultivation time is similar to ours, so how far could he progress? Even with tens of thousands of Energy Crystals, it's like eating; you need to take it one bite at a time. Both our strengths have improved, so cooperating to kill him is a piece of cake." The Hongmen Ancestor scoffed.
"Hmm, kill him directly, if we don't, my heart cannot be appeased."
Yuri nodded, clenched his fists, emitting an intense murderous aura.
Just then, two light shadows approached from afar, quickly reaching the Hongmen Ancestor and respectfully bowed, "Welcome back, Ancestor."
These two were core members of Hongmen, one of them being the leader, Hong Zhangtian.
"Where is Lin Mo now?" The Hongmen Ancestor asked indifferently.
