Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

"No, break it for me!"

The man forcefully gathered his Qi Blood, and pushed his Qi Blood and Power to the extreme. The cold long sword in his hand kept swinging, but it was completely useless in front of this sword.

Splurt!

A series of flesh-tearing sounds echoed, and in an instant, countless blood lines appeared on the thin man's face, chest, arms, and abdomen, then turned into blood holes in a split second.

"Cough cough!"

A painful sound emitted from Su Mu's mouth. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and then a long sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Just during the coughing, scalding hot blood gushed out of the thin man like columns, turning him into a blood-drenched figure before he fell down, with his eyes filled with disbelief and fear as he died.

He spent his life practicing swordsmanship, yet died from a sword strike by a man wearing a cyan wolf mask, who seemed to swing casually and didn't look like he was in his prime, but rather like a sickly figure who couldn't even grip the sword tightly.

"Just died like that? This man killed the swordsman with one sword strike, was that a Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Martial Artist?!" The Black Swallow Lady stood aghast at the scene, thinking that she and her companion were surely doomed.

Unexpectedly, the person she found for the deal was so fierce, looking like a feeble invalid, but when he acted, he was ruthless and silent, slaying a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist with one sword.

Moreover, the Black Swallow Lady could tell from Su Mu's sudden assault that this guy is definitely ruthless, because he was ready to act long ago, as the three intended to kill him.

But Su Mu equally wished to slaughter the three?!

"Sir, please stop, let's talk it out, you and I have no grievance or enmity..."

The Cyan-robed Scholar watched the scene, his eyelids twitching furiously, hastily speaking, but Su Mu, after coughing a few times, didn't stop his figure, and amidst the cicada sounds, stepped forward shakily to appear before another fat man.

"Third Brother, retreat quickly."

"Second Brother!"

The fat man, seeing the swordsman killed with one sword, his eyes filled with blood, was completely enraged and couldn't hear the Cyan-robed Scholar's reminder. To him, Su Mu seemed to have only swung one sword, coughed up blood, and couldn't even hold the long sword.

In his view, for Su Mu to have such proficiency in swordsmanship, he must be dedicated to it as a Martial Artist. Now after losing the sword, he's like an old tiger without claws, wanting to take his life while he's weak.

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you to avenge Second Brother!"

The fat man roared angrily, his flesh writhing, rapidly expanding into a small mountain of meat, exuding a fierce aura.

"Mere facade."

Su Mu's face remained unchanged, with a grasp of the void, a long saber appeared in his hand.

Pus!

Suddenly, a torrential, scorching power circulated on the long saber, flames roaring high. Su Mu drew the saber and slashed, flames roaring and engulfing the meat mountain.

Sizzle!

The flames dramatically enlarged in the fat man's eyes and swallowed him instantly. At this moment, he woke up to the fact that he was caught in the trap. Su Mu's abandonment of the sword was just a guise, to conceal the saber and show weakness before slashing with it.

Under the fiery blaze, the fat man only had time to make a few tragic, inhuman screeches, frantically trying to mobilize power to resist, but how could flesh and power withstand such flames.

In a moment, Qi Blood weakened, and the body shrank quickly.

Blood light emerged!

A blood line instantly expanded, a fierce head flew off, and the whole person fell down like charred coal.

In the previous breath, it was a situation where three surrounded to kill, in the next breath, Su Mu wielded a saber and sword, consecutively killing two, all Seventh-Grade Martial Artists!

Seventh-Grade Martial Artists are not ordinary people, but within the Lower Three Grades and at the peak of Body Tempering, a step further can peek into the Middle Third Grade, they are the Hundred-man Enemy strong individuals, such strong individuals in the land of the Three Counties would be considered masters, but such strong individuals in front of Su Mu's blade and sword were like clay chickens and pottery dogs, not worth a blow.

What these two didn't know is that, let alone Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Martial Artists, even a Sixth-Grade Martial Artist died at Su Mu's hands, and Su Mu himself had even battled with a Fifth-Grade Daoist Cultivator, even breaking one of his arms.

Seeing this scene, the Cyan-robed Scholar who was still alive felt his heart tremble violently, curse the dead fat man internally, that guy didn't heed his command, died and ended up implicating him.

At that moment, the Cyan-robed Scholar hurriedly cupped his hands, putting on a warm smile, "Sir, what prowess... these two offended you, and their deaths aren't undeserved. I am of 'Changping Dao', here under Marshal Zhang Renshuai, one of the Thirty-Six Marshals, to Canglan South County to preach. The remnants of Yan Family killed many of my Changping Dao followers, that's why I'm here for revenge, hope you don't mind!"

Changping Dao? Thirty-Six Marshals?

Su Mu had never heard of the so-called Changping Dao.

Earlier, someone among the three kept saying they wanted to eradicate Su Mu, claiming it as a good material for alchemy, such methods of using people for alchemy were considered demonic to Su Mu, definitely not righteous.

Now, after killing two people, the remaining one thought not of avenging his comrades but showed friendliness and humility, such smiling tigers deserve no mercy.

Moreover, the other's mention of being ordered to come to Canglan South County to preach suggests Changping Demon Dao's great power, this Great Yan Dynasty is truly unrestful, but there's one thing the other said well: weeds must be removed by the roots!

"Since you are of the Changping Dao, you can take this person with you."

Su Mu feigned a hint of dread in his eyes, the Cyan-robed Scholar noticed but didn't fully believe it, until Su Mu threw down the long saber, feeling relieved, he secretly scrutinized Su Mu several times to confirm he wasn't carrying other hidden weapons before approaching the Black Swallow Lady.

"Kill him... I will give you... Fire Sparrow Blood..."

The sight of the two reaching consensus shocked and angered the Black Swallow Lady, she spoke in a trembling voice.

"Fire Sparrow Blood?"

The Cyan-robed Scholar showed surprise, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, how could a small Qingyun County have such a being like the Fire Sparrow?

His mind spun quickly, and the greed in his eyes faded. Fearing changes, he spoke urgently, "Sir, do not be deceived by this remnant..."

But before he could finish, his momentary greed was clearly caught by Su Mu, and this moment of greed led directly to his demise.

Sizzle!

A red thread pierced the air.

The Cyan-robed Scholar felt an intense pain in his chest, and immediately an irresistible force attacked him, his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

Looking down, a long spear with crimson cloud patterns pierced his chest, nailing him to a boulder.

"You, you..."

Su Mu remained silent, staggering forward step by step, placing a hand on the Crimson Flame Spear.

"No, you can't kill me, I am..."

His sentence remained unfinished as Su Mu suddenly drew the spear, blood pouring down like a waterfall, while facing Su Mu, none of it touched him. After killing the three of Changping Dao, Su Mu turned towards the Black Swallow Lady.

"Do I still need to prove my strength now?"

His words fell.

Su Mu got no response, for before this, the Black Swallow Lady had fainted. Before fainting, Su Mu saw the shock in her eyes, a reaction possibly from being frightened unconscious.

"Cough cough... Am I really that scary? I just killed three people..."

Several mouthfuls of fresh blood consecutively sprayed from Su Mu's mouth, he again mobilized a force of Gold Force to reclaim the Crimson Flame Spear, then lifted the Jade Bone State.

Instantly, a tearing-like pain washed over Su Mu, he quickly took out a few pills and swallowed them, staggering, pale-faced, as he leaned against a tree, breathing heavily for a while before recovering.

"Now the limit for me to activate the Jade Bone State is... around ten breaths."

Su Mu quickly rummaged through the belongings of the three, and then took out a wheelchair from the Sumeru Ring, placing the unconscious Black Swallow Lady on it.

Before leaving, Su Mu reached out and removed the Black Swallow mask from the lady's face, realizing that previous familiar feeling wasn't a mistake.

"So it's that girl."
