Tycoon War God

What a lively day.

Just as the battle was about to begin, a hoarse voice echoed from the horizon. Everyone turned to look and saw monstrous waves churning in the sea.

Then, the temperature plummeted, and snowflakes began to fall. In the next moment, everyone stared in shock as a long bridge, formed entirely of ice, suddenly appeared in the sky. A hunched figure was walking slowly across the ice bridge.

The onlookers were aghast. Condensing water into ice, then shaping that ice into a bridge! Another Grandmaster has arrived! And not just an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster!

In just a few seconds, the ice bridge was hovering above their heads, and the hunched figure stood upon it, looking down on them all.

Upon seeing this person, Han Xian’s face lit up with wild joy. ”Granny Guo!”

Han Xian, still lying on the ground, began to shout, ”Granny Guo, kill him! Kill him now!”

Granny Guo was a Martial Arts Grandmaster recently hired by his Han Family. Her strength had already reached the peak of the Grandmaster level, just one step away from the Divine Communion Realm.

Seeing that Han Xian was still screaming, Li Lingqing grew impatient. ”Silence!” she commanded, directing the Nine-Star Bloodshadow Worm to bite him.

There was no need to kill the man. As the Gu King, however, even a single bite from the Nine-Star Bloodshadow Worm could inflict pain beyond imagination.

”AARGH! The pain! It hurts so much!” Han Xian wailed, feeling an agony that spread through his entire body. It was a pain that pierced his very marrow, making him want to claw off every inch of his skin and every shred of his flesh.

”Granny Guo, kill him now!” Han Xian shrieked, his body convulsing from the pain. He was a wretched mess of hysterical laughter and tears, with snot and saliva streaming down his face.

Even Qin Chuan couldn’t help but feel a shiver of dread at the sight of a Martial Arts Grandmaster reduced to such a state. The power of the Gu King is truly terrifying!

From the ice bridge, Granny Guo’s cold eyes, like those of a venomous snake, fixed on Li Lingqing. ”You may be young, little girl, but your heart is truly malicious!”

”The Han Family was brazen enough to offend my master’s wife. This is just a small down payment on their debt,” Li Lingqing retorted coldly. ”If you disagree, you’re welcome to try me!”

”Such a sharp tongue!” Granny Guo laughed, her voice thick with anger. ”A junior like you dares to act so insolently before me. I have to wonder what kind of upbringing you had. No matter. Today, this old woman will teach you a lesson on their behalf and show you what it means to respect your elders!”

As soon as her voice fell, she pointed a finger through the air.

A peak Grandmaster could transcend the physical world, manipulating objects with their qi and commanding their qi with intent. For them, killing was as simple as a flick of the wrist. A glint of icy light shot forth, trailing a wave of murderous intent.

”Since when was my disciple yours to discipline?” Lin Mu said with a faint smile. He waved his hand casually, and a massive hand materialized out of thin air, enveloping the glint of icy light.

With a gentle squeeze of Lin Mu’s hand, the light shattered into a cloud of ice shards.

”Hmph!” A furious grunt came from the ice bridge. The snowfall intensified, and countless ice spikes materialized in mid-air, all aimed directly at Lin Mu.

”Insolent junior! How dare you interfere! Die!” With a wave of her hand, Granny Guo sent the ice spikes whistling toward Lin Mu, intending to obliterate him.

Ignoring the ice spikes, Lin Mu smiled nonchalantly. ”You old fossil. You were quick to flee back on Harbor Island. I never expected to run into you here. Since fate has brought us together, I suppose I’ll have to send you to meet King Yama!”

As his voice fell, Lin Mu reached a hand out toward the sky. ”Get down here!”

The ice spikes instantly disintegrated, transforming into a fierce gale that swept upward and shattered the ice bridge.

CRACK!

The ice bridge broke apart, dissolving into a shower of ice. A figure tumbled ungracefully from the sky.

”You?!” When the woman landed and saw Lin Mu, her expression changed dramatically.

It was none other than Granny Guo, the very same woman Lin Mu had encountered on the deserted island near Harbor Island. Seeing him again now nearly scared the soul right out of her body.

Lin Mu sneered. ”What, surprised to see me? Scram, if you want to live.”

”Junior, don’t push your luck!” Granny Guo raged. ”Losing to you that day was the greatest humiliation of my life! Since we’ve met again, I will have your head!”

With that, she turned to Qin Chuan. ”Young Qin, let’s join forces and kill this man first!”

”Agreed.” Qin Chuan nodded, and the moment the word left his lips, he shot forward, throwing a punch.

In a battle between experts, life and death were decided in an instant. Thus, Qin Chuan had no time to waste.

Seeing Qin Chuan attack, Granny Guo grinned. ”To think the woman that Han Family whelp has his eye on is yours, junior. Truly, life is full of twists! But today, with Young Qin and me joining forces, your death is certain!”

BOOM!

She stomped her foot, and the earth shook violently as a massive fissure tore through the ground, snaking toward Lin Mu. The fissure radiated a terrifying power, strong enough to tear a person to shreds.

”A mere loser, beaten like a dog by my hand. Where do you find the audacity to act so high and mighty today?” Lin Mu scoffed and took a single step forward.

Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps!

With that one step, Lin Mu was now standing in mid-air. Where his foot had landed, an even greater force erupted outward.

BOOM!

With a deafening roar, a second fissure appeared in the ground, this one surging toward Granny Guo. The moment the two fissures collided, they erupted with a heaven-shaking explosion.

”Hmph!” Granny Guo stumbled back two steps, her face a mask of shock.

She had thought that with her recent improvements in her cultivation level, she could easily kill Lin Mu. To her astonishment, a single exchange was enough to show her that the gap between them had only grown wider.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu shot toward Qin Chuan like an arrow released from a bow. His speed was so incredible that he left a long white trail in his wake—a shockwave created as the air itself buckled under his velocity.

High above, Qin Chuan was startled to see Lin Mu’s extreme speed, closing the distance in the blink of an eye. He took a deep breath, sucking in a visible stream of white energy like a whale drawing in water, before smashing his fist downward.

”Get down!” His punch was so fast it created a sonic boom.

”Too slow!” Lin Mu laughed, throwing a punch of his own.

Down below, Granny Guo sneered as she saw the two men about to exchange blows. He’s courting death! With every advantage of position and timing, Qin Chuan’s power was several times greater than normal. And yet, this Lin Wudi chose to meet his fist head-on. He was truly asking to die.

”Die!” Qin Chuan’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he pushed his speed even further.

BOOM!

The two fists collided with a thunderous roar.

Qin Chuan’s body was sent flying backward, and he landed hard on a distant rockery. Lin Mu, seizing the opportunity, landed exactly where Qin Chuan had just been standing.

In that single exchange, Qin Chuan was completely overpowered.

Lin Mu stood poised in the air, his expression icy as he looked down at Qin Chuan. ”Demon City Qin Chuan? Is that all you’ve got?”

As for Qin Chuan, his face was ashen. The arm hidden behind his back trembled uncontrollably. This Lin Wudi... he’s terrifyingly strong!

HISS! The crowd collectively gasped.

Lin Wudi is horrifying! Even Qin Chuan is no match for him! one person thought.

That’s right! Qin Chuan is already in the Divine Communion Realm, but he still lost. Just how powerful is Lin Wudi? another wondered.

Lin Mu hovered in the air, gazing down upon the crowd like a god surveying mortals. His voice was indifferent, yet it carried an overwhelming killing intent.

”If this is the extent of your power, then today, I, Lin Mu, will be taking your life.”
