Cultivating in Different Professions

Chapter 154: Chapter 117: Too Weak

”The Blood Transformation Realm... so it’s this weak.”

Su Mu muttered.

Granted, he had unleashed his Indestructible Golden Body. And when he’d thrown the Iron Short Spear, he’d simultaneously used both the Kan Water Realm and the Xun Wind Realm, even mixing in the Mountain-Splitting Saber Momentum and the Mountain-Opening Saber Momentum.

Still, for a mighty Blood Transformation Realm expert to be unable to withstand a single one of his attacks... he was just a little too weak.

The short, stout Blood Transformation Realm expert wasn’t dead yet. His face was twisted in a grimace as he clutched the spear’s shaft with both hands, struggling to pull the short spear from the tree.

Then, he overheard Su Mu’s mutter.

He was so enraged he couldn’t catch his breath, and with a SPURT, he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

”Do you even hear yourself? I’m too weak?

You’ve cultivated a Physical Divine Technique! How dare you say something like that!”

The short, stout Blood Transformation Realm expert clawed futilely at the air a few times before his head slowly slumped forward, all movement ceasing.

Seeing that the short, stout Blood Transformation Realm expert had gone still, Su Mu turned toward the battlefield nearby, his gaze becoming impassive.

The next moment, his body flickered and he vanished.

He reappeared in the midst of the crowd. With a wave of his right hand, the Ziwei Soft Sword pierced the heart of a Fragrance Sect remnant.

”Look out!”

”Our leader is dead!”

The crowd instantly fell into chaos. Some launched attacks at Su Mu, but even more began to scatter and flee.

Su Mu unleashed the Xun Wind Realm. His Ziwei Soft Sword moved like the wind itself. Each casual strike either pierced an enemy’s throat or ran through their heart.

No one could withstand a single exchange.

Body Tempering Extreme Realm. A Physical Divine Technique.

Su Mu’s current strength was even more terrifying than he himself had imagined.

Even a Blood Transformation Realm expert was no match for him. How could these Body Tempering Realm remnants of the Fragrance Sect possibly stop the sword in his hand?

In the blink of an eye.

One after another, the Fragrance Sect remnants froze in place. Then, jets of blood erupted from their bodies as they fell to the ground with a series of THUDS.

Chen Song and the other constables stood with their sabers raised, looking on blankly.

Before they could even process what had happened, they found their opponents already lying dead on the ground.

”The Chief! It’s the Chief!”

After a long moment, they finally snapped out of it, their faces alight with joyous surprise.

They had thought their deaths were certain. They never expected the Chief to once again turn the tide against all odds and save them.

When they turned to look for Su Mu, they saw he was already walking away.

Over there, another Blood Transformation Realm expert was locked in combat with the woman in black.

...

”I knew something was off last time. You’re not a true Blood Transformation Realm expert after all!”

A savage grin spread across Hu Dazhen’s face. ”Relying on a Secret Technique to fake the power of the Blood Transformation Realm... just how long can you keep it up?”

His assault grew increasingly ferocious.

Xiang Xiaoyuan struggled to defend herself, her heart wracked with anxiety.

She hadn’t truly entered the Blood Transformation Realm. She was only relying on a Secret Technique that temporarily gave her the power to fight on par with one.

Just as Hu Dazhen had said, the technique’s greatest drawback was that it couldn’t be sustained for long.

Still, if she chose to flee now, Hu Dazhen wouldn’t be able to stop her.

’But if I leave, what will happen to Su Mu?’

’I’m so worried. There are two Blood Transformation Realm experts over there! Su Mu has constables with him, but can they possibly hold out?’

’If I’d known this would happen, I should have brought Uncle Shi with me.’

Xiang Xiaoyuan was filled with regret.

But it was too late for regrets now.

”Hu Dazhen, if anything happens to Su Mu, I swear I will slaughter your entire Hu Family!”

Xiang Xiaoyuan snarled, her voice hoarse.

”Hah! And you think you’ll get the chance?”

Hu Dazhen roared with laughter. ”The ones who kill you and Su Mu will be the remnants of the Fragrance Sect. What does that have to do with the Hu Family of Wuling City?

After you’re dead, the Hu Family will even kill all those Fragrance Sect remnants to avenge you.

Your family will even have to thank the Hu Family.”

”You—you’re shameless!”

Xiang Xiaoyuan trembled with rage. Her focus faltered, and she was nearly struck by Hu Dazhen’s iron fist.

Although she managed to dodge, the force of the blow still buffeted her, tightening her chest and involuntarily slowing her movements.

”Oh, I can be far more shameless than this.”

Gaining the upper hand, Hu Dazhen aimed every punch at Xiang Xiaoyuan’s sensitive areas, forcing her into a flustered defense.

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s face flushed red with fury. She couldn’t believe that a long-renowned expert would resort to such vile tactics.

BAM!

Finally, Xiang Xiaoyuan failed to dodge in time and took one of Hu Dazhen’s fists to the shoulder.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was sent flying back ten feet. She staggered upon landing, an unbearable pain radiating from her shoulder. She could no longer grip her sword, and it fell to the ground with a CLANG.

”A fake is a fake. You thought you could fight me with that fraudulent Blood Transformation Realm of yours?”

Hu Dazhen sneered. ”If I’d known this earlier, we wouldn’t have needed to invite those two helpers. I could have killed you all by myself!”

’The Hu Family had paid a steep price to hire those two Blood Transformation Realm experts from the Fragrance Sect.’

’But now it seemed like a bad deal. This girl wasn’t a true Blood Transformation Realm expert at all.’

’I could easily kill this girl first and then go after Su Mu. He won’t get away.’

Just as Hu Dazhen, grinning savagely, was about to finish Xiang Xiaoyuan off, and just as she was preparing for a final, desperate stand...

Suddenly.

SPLAT!

A dark silhouette flew in from the distance.

Hu Dazhen threw a sudden punch. The violent force of his fist struck the dark silhouette with a muffled thud, and it exploded into pieces.

Red and white matter rained down on him.

Hu Dazhen frowned and tried to dodge, but he couldn’t get out of the way completely. A few specks of red and white landed on him.
