Chapter 330 Are Kyoto Big Shots This Cowardly Too?
The imposing aura in the living room immediately faltered, then completely collapsed.
Mu Haifeng felt as if he had hit a truck, flying over ten meters and smashing an octagonal table to pieces, splinters scattering everywhere in a mess.
The immense blast wave sent many vases and ornaments nearby toppling.
Mu Haifeng lay on the ground, his body contorting in pain, a glaring slap mark on his face.
Looking at Elder Lin, he stood there with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, as if he hadn't even moved!
Yet, this single action had sent a bombastic half-step internal strength master flying, a true display of power's overwhelming superiority.
This slap seemed to land not just on Mu Haifeng's face, but also on the faces of everyone who had looked down on Elder Lin.
Silence fell upon the room, and the surrounding people stared in utter shock.
It was hard to believe that Elder Lin, an old man on the verge of death, was responsible for Mu Haifeng's miserable state.
"What the hell?"
"What's going on?"
"Didn't they say Elder Lin was crippled long ago? How can he be this strong?"
Seeing the dumbfounded expressions of the people from Wanyang Martial Arts Hall, Lin Lei couldn't help but curve his lips into a knowing smile.
"You're all stunned now, aren't you? Father is no longer who he used to be! You've followed the wrong person. Your Wanyang Martial Arts Hall daring to oppose Xuanji Hall is the biggest mistake you've ever made!"
Alliance Leader Long stared at Elder Lin for a few seconds, then his eyes suddenly shot out a gleam.
Jiangzhou had finally produced a powerhouse that could stand on the stage!
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan's slender back was seated to the side, holding a teacup and drinking tea, his expression neither happy nor sad, perfectly composed, as if he had anticipated all of this.
"You..."
Mu Haifeng staggered to his feet, his face filled with horror as he looked at Elder Lin, his voice hoarse, "Elder Lin, have you recovered your strength?"
Elder Lin smiled but did not answer.
"You think that just because you've recovered your strength, you can defeat me? You're ridiculous. You'll never know the reliance and foundation of my Wanyang Martial Arts Hall, something the ants of Jiangzhou like you can't even imagine."
Mu Haifeng took a breath, believing he had underestimated his opponent. Thus, he decided to reveal his full strength.
He opened his hand and drew out a precious sword.
The blade was blood-red, as if born from bathing in blood. It was three feet eight inches long, each inch covered in a chilling murderous intent!
As this sword emerged, the entire room instantly grew several degrees colder, and many felt a chill down their spines.
"It's the legendary weapon, the Jade Blood Sword!"
"That's the treasure of Wanyang Martial Arts Hall!"
"Back then, Master Mu used the Jade Blood Sword to kill a half-step internal strength master. It's said that Master Mu was only at the Ninth Rank Internal Strength Grandmaster level then and hadn't fully unleashed its power. Now that Master Mu can wield the full might of the Jade Blood Sword, who knows how strong he is?"
"As long as internal strength masters don't appear, Master Mu is invincible in the world!"
Many people recognized the sword's origin, their surprise evident.
Even Alliance Leader Long's expression turned grave.
No one knew the power of the Jade Blood Sword better than Master Mu himself. After all, he had personally witnessed Master Mu wielding the Jade Blood Sword to face two half-step internal strength masters, resulting in one death and one injury.
"Elder Lin is in danger!" Alliance Leader Long exclaimed, his face etched with worry.
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Alliance Leader Long, just wait and see!"
"Oh?"
Alliance Leader Long turned his head, catching the confidence on Chen Xuan's face, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Jade Blood Sword?"
Elder Lin glanced at it indifferently and then withdrew his gaze.
If it were in the past, Elder Lin might have been wary, but now, he had been reborn.
"Elder Lin, am I qualified now?"
Mu Haifeng stood proudly, holding the Jade Blood Sword.
His aura was immense, his clothes rustling.
A playful smile played on his weathered face, "Mu Haifeng, at your age, I didn't expect you'd still be boasting! Hahaha! Kneel and surrender, and I'll spare your old life."
"Far from enough!"
Before his words could finish, Elder Lin's aura radiated an even more intense murderous intent.
A powerful force, like a surging tide, instantly crushed the entire hall.
Inside Xuanji Hall, everyone's breathing became rapid, their eyes bloodshot.
Mayor Huang, not understanding cultivation, felt as if a giant stone was pressing down on his chest under this pressure, his old face turning bright red.
"Damn, what kind of aura is this? How are you so strong?"
Mu Haifeng abruptly turned to look at Elder Lin, his face instantly turning extremely grim, "You..."
Elder Lin walked towards Mu Haifeng step by step, enunciating each word, "That day, you crippled my direct disciple. Now, it's time to return the favor."
Mu Haifeng looked at Elder Lin approaching, his face filled with terror, "You can't kill me! If you kill me, you'll be finished! You can't afford to offend the forces behind me!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I can cripple you, after all, there's a challenge letter."
Elder Lin said coldly.
Mu Haifeng felt as if something was stuck in his throat.
Finally, he turned and shouted at the crowd, "Master Mo, save me!"
Chen Xuan's body jolted, his eyes narrowed, and his indifferent gaze fell upon the crowd from Wanyang Martial Arts Hall.
Ten full seconds passed, but not a single person stepped forward.
He couldn't help but frown, then sneered, "Truly a shrinking turtle."
This was something Mu Haifeng had never anticipated, and he was completely stunned.
What the hell was going on?
Where were they?
"Haha, it seems your people are all shrinking turtles. No one can save you this time!"
Mu Haifeng's old face flushed red, he felt utterly wronged, "Are the big shots in the capital also so cowardly?"
Elder Lin took a step forward and stomped on Mu Haifeng's dantian, shattering it.
"Ah—"
Mu Haifeng let out a sharp, piercing scream. His dantian was broken, causing him immense pain, and his entire face contorted.
However, compared to the physical pain, the realization that he had gone from a revered half-step internal strength master to someone everyone could bully was even harder to accept.
Elder Lin's expression remained unchanged, his gaze indifferent.
When Mu Haifeng crippled his direct disciple in front of him, he should have known this day would come.
This was retribution!
The people from Wanyang Martial Arts Hall were all terrified into silence.
After a moment, many shouted hysterically, calling for revenge and vowing to avenge Mu Haifeng.
"Xuanji Hall is opening, no disturbances! Who wants to die?"
Black Tiger stepped forward and shouted sternly.
Instantly, figures emerged from behind him, their gazes sharp, their auras powerful, like mountains.
The people from Wanyang Martial Arts Hall exchanged glances, lifted Mu Haifeng, and quickly fled, their feet quickening.
This was Xuanji Hall; staying here would be suicidal!
Chen Xuan glanced at the crowd and unhuremoniously followed them out...
As soon as Chen Xuan left, Mayor Huang slammed the table and glared, "You actually crippled Master Mu? Elder Lin of Qingcheng Martial Arts Hall is suspected of intentional assault. Arrest him."
"Hold on!"
Alliance Leader Long smiled, "Mayor Huang, this is a challenge letter from our Martial Alliance. It clearly states that life and death are irrelevant to the parties involved. Let alone crippling his dantian, even killing Mu Haifeng would not make Elder Lin liable for any responsibility. Mayor Huang, you wouldn't be unaware of this, would you?"
"What barbaric rules! It's utter madness! your Martial Alliance's rules need to change. I must take this person away today!"
Mayor Huang's attitude was extremely firm.
After all, Mu Haifeng was a benefactor to the Huang family. With Mu Haifeng in trouble, he had to seek justice.
Alliance Leader Long chuckled, "Mayor Huang, what if it were Elder Lin who was crippled just now?"
Mayor Huang was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "That's a hypothetical situation. Regardless, I am taking Elder Lin today."
"You good-for-nothing Mayor Huang, you're pushing your luck. If you dare to lay a hand on my Martial Alliance member, just try it!"
Alliance Leader Long was also furious. Mayor Huang was clearly being unreasonable and deliberately causing trouble for Elder Lin.
Those nearby watched with wide eyes.
The only one who could roar at Mayor Huang like this was probably Alliance Leader Long.
This was like gods fighting; stay far away, stay far away...
Many people instinctively retreated.
"Just try it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mayor Huang's face turned crimson, veins bulging on his neck. He clutched his own throat in pain, his expression utterly ferocious, his entire body trembling violently.
