Tycoon War God

”Die!”

The old man snorted coldly and stomped his foot on the ground. An endless frost spread out, rushing toward Lin Mu, intending to freeze him solid.

”Child’s play!” Lin Mu laughed heartily and stomped his foot as well.

CRACK!

All the frost vanished. The sweeping, frigid aura instantly reversed course, rushing back toward the old man at an even greater speed.

”Hmph!” The old man snorted and, with a wave of his hand, swatted the cold aura away.

BOOM! BOOM!

This time, the surrounding trees suffered the consequences, and a dozen of them snapped in an instant.

”Not bad, not bad. You truly are full of surprises. To be a Martial Arts Grandmaster at such a young age… I once thought such people were merely exaggerations, but to think this world truly has a genius like you.” The old man was surprised that Lin Mu could break his attack, but he quickly calmed down.

”Given another twenty or thirty years, I might have to flee in disgrace at the sight of you,” the old man said with absolute confidence. ”But it’s a pity that right now, you aren’t qualified! So what if you’re a Grandmaster? Before me, that is nothing but mortal strength. When you witness true power, you will realize you are nothing but a frog at the bottom of a well!”

The old man’s body contorted as he sneered, ”A Grandmaster is nothing. I’ve killed more than one before!”

”Oh? True power?” Lin Mu smiled.

This man has barely taken his first step and hasn’t even crossed the threshold of Cultivation, yet he dares to speak of power in front of me? It’s as laughable as a child with a wooden sword boasting to a deity wielding an Immortal Sword about what makes a true Sword Immortal!

But the old man didn’t see it that way. In his eyes, no matter how skilled Lin Mu’s martial arts were or how strong he was, he was still just an ant.

”Then let me show you what true power is!” the old man harrumphed. He moved, his arm rising slightly.

Instantly, the temperature of the world plummeted. An ethereal Long Spear, coalesced from pure ice, materialized in the air.

”Go!” The old man waved his hand fiercely. The ice spear whistled through the air, rocketing toward Lin Mu.

”Master, be careful!” From a distance, the Spirit Seer’s expression changed as he cried out a warning.

This Divine Sense Clone actually managed to cultivate such a spell! It seems that after all these years, his main body’s power has advanced by leaps and bounds!

”Master?” Hearing the Spirit Seer’s cry, the old man sneered. ”Spirit Seer, to think that you, once a powerful figure respected by all, would acknowledge a mere boy as your master. It seems you’ve truly regressed with age!”

”Since that’s the case, I’ll butcher this brat and let you see just how rotten your judgment is!”

With a flourish of his sleeves, the old man sent the ice spear flying at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it was right before Lin Mu. It thrust forward!

”Die!” A murderous glint flashed in the old man’s eyes. He had once used this very spear thrust to instantly kill a Martial Arts Grandmaster, a man who was supposedly a top expert on some heavenly list. But in the end, he still died.

This spear, formed from ice, was as hard as steel. Amplified by his power, it could not only pierce a person but also easily penetrate real steel. Therefore, with but a single thought, he could put a hole straight through Lin Mu.

”Kill!” the old man bellowed, the Long Spear radiating a frigid, murderous intent as it descended.

However, faced with this killing blow, Lin Mu merely raised a single finger and tapped gently.

”Break.”

As the single word left his lips, the ice spear froze in midair.

CRACK!

In the next moment, a dense web of cracks spread across the spear. With a soft sound, it shattered into dust.

”How is this possible?” The old man’s face was a mask of horror. His strike, capable of slaying a Martial Arts Grandmaster, had been shattered by a single finger? How can this boy’s power be so bizarre?

Even the Spirit Seer was dumbfounded. He clearly hadn’t expected Lin Mu to be so formidable.

”Is this what you call power?” Lin Mu shook his head. ”Too weak!”

”Ignorant junior, do you really think this is the extent of my abilities?” the old man snarled. ”This time, I will ensure your very soul is annihilated!”

The old man slammed both hands onto the ground. In the air, another ice spear materialized. But it didn’t end there. A second, a third... all the way to a fifth ice spear appeared, all of them pointing at Lin Mu.

Simultaneously, countless ice spikes, sharp as bamboo shoots, erupted from the ground around Lin Mu, all shimmering with a cold light.

From afar, the Spirit Seer’s expression changed drastically. ”Ice Descends Upon the World?!”

The old man roared with laughter. ”Spirit Seer, you didn’t expect this, did you? I have already mastered ’Ice Descends Upon the World’! How can you possibly be my match?”

At this moment, the ground was coated in a thick layer of frost, as were the surrounding trees. From that frost, an endless stream of ice spears continued to form, arranging themselves in rows in the air, their tips aimed directly at Lin Mu.

HISS!

Chu Zhengbo scrambled backward, his face pale, yet his eyes shone with a fervent gleam. This had to be the power of a god. It was too terrifying. How could a mere mortal possibly contend with it?

”Boy, now you will witness the true power of my ’Ice Descends Upon the World’!” With a grand wave of the old man’s hand, the ice spears lunged at Lin Mu again, moving faster than bullets.

Before, it was only one. Now, there are hundreds, even thousands of them. Let’s see you break these!

Just as the ice spears were about to strike, Lin Mu smiled.

”True power?” he mused. ”Ice Descends Upon the World?”

Lin Mu’s mocking voice echoed through the air. It sounded as if it had descended from the Nine Heavens, instilling in all who heard it a profound and sun-bright majesty.

He stomped lightly on the ground. A deafening boom resounded. The entire mountain began to shake violently, as if the very earth were quaking.

In an instant, dirt and stone flew everywhere as an immensely powerful force descended, its overwhelming aura sweeping in all directions!

In the next moment, the Spirit Seer and Chu Zhengbo witnessed a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

A colossal dragon’s head burst forth from the ground! It was followed by a body so massive it seemed to span the heavens and the earth.

It was an Ice Dragon!

The dragon’s head was ferocious and terrifying, radiating a biting chill. Its entire body was crystalline and translucent, its scales bristling like sharp blades, giving it the appearance of a small mountain. As the Ice Dragon raised its head, it revealed a torso over a hundred feet long, towering like a skyscraper.

At this very moment, most of the Chu Family’s Back Mountain was already encased in ice. Not only Chu Zhengbo but also the others remaining on the Chu Family’s grounds felt as though they had been transported to the North Pole.

Cold winds howled, and the world was plunged into an extreme, freezing cold.

And there, standing atop the dragon’s head, was Lin Mu. He looked like a deity made manifest, seated upon a divine throne. His expression was indifferent, his eyes filled with mockery as he gazed down upon the old man from his high perch.

”True power?” he asked. ”What exactly were you referring to?”

At that moment, the old man’s expression changed drastically. He stared at Lin Mu in utter shock.
