Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

"You... you..."

This saber strike was extremely fast, and the sharpness it carried was astounding. Zhao Ku, whose head had already been severed, still managed to emit a few syllables with his mouth wide open, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

He, the dignified Deputy Hall Master of Ink Scale Hall, considered a high-level figure in Cyan Fish Gang, was decapitated so unfairly tonight?

With intense unwillingness, Zhao Ku turned his head in despair to look at Vice Gang Leader Gongyang Jue, who was seated at the head.

Then, with a thud, his head fell to the ground, making a muffled sound.

Then.

"Splash—!"

The blood vessels that had been severed belatedly spurted blood five steps away, and after several blood exchanges, the hot red blood of the Martial Artist gushed out on the floor, creating a bloody path through the meat and wine-filled inner hall, adding a salty stench to the air.

For a moment, the disciples who had earlier cheered for this drama under the Vice Gang Leader’s faction were silent, their faces pale, and the scene was once again plunged into deathly silence.

Even Baili Hongtang on the side tightened her grasp, causing the ironwood-like armrests to instantly crack, her beautiful eyes revealing a look of shock and amazement.

Saber Momentum—she absolutely did not mistake it; Su Mu had just displayed Saber Momentum!

During the grand competition, this person once displayed Fist Momentum, crushing Guo Zhen, and later, unleashed a stunning sword to sweep away with terrifying Sword Momentum, executing the two ancestors of the Tao Family. Now, yet again, displaying a third Martial Momentum—Saber Momentum.

Martial Momentum is the key to unlocking the Upper Three Grade Grandmaster Realm, and countless Fourth Grade Martial Artists struggle all their lives to cross this chasm. Among thousands of Fourth Grade Martial Artists, it’s rare to find even one Great Cultivator.

Yet the Martial Momentum longed for by Fourth Grade Martial Artists is here mastered by him simultaneously: three distinct Martial Momentums. This talent and comprehension are truly world-shaking!

Moreover, this person is utterly decisive; the slash was done without the slightest hesitation, and killing seemed to be as easy and carefree for him as downing a bowl of wine, without any psychological burden of exposure.

His demeanor starkly contrasted with the humility and gentleness previously shown by Sun Li.

At this instant, a thought emerged in Baili Hongtang’s mind: this person must not be an enemy!

After killing, Su Mu on the left didn’t look at anyone present, but instead, his gaze fell on the slightly trembling Whale-Slaying Saber transmitting joy; this saber, capable of generating some emotion, was very close to the level of Third Grade Spiritual Artifact, much stronger than the Golden Flood Dragon Spear he obtained from the Li Family.

Additionally, having executed a Vice Hall Master of Fourth Grade level without any blood stain was exhilarating for Su Mu, being an Artifact Refiner.

"No wonder it’s the sword of the Young Master of Cyan Fish... indeed a fine saber."

Su Mu sighed inwardly, his eyes slightly heated as he sheathed the saber.

Seeing Su Mu’s appearance after the kill, the remaining two jesters, Wang Zhong and Gong Sunhe, were instantly chilled to the bone, secretly reaching for their necks as if their throats had been gripped.

The two, who were jumping around exuberantly earlier, were now silent as cicadas in cold weather.

Who would’ve thought, Zhao Ku, after all, was a Vice Hall Master of Cyan Fish Gang, but the Young Master Baili Feng, in disagreement, simply decapitated him in one slash, leaving him headless.

Furthermore, what was displayed earlier was Saber Momentum; if Baili Feng comprehends Saber Momentum and doesn’t meet an untimely death, he has a high likelihood of entering the Upper Three Grades, enough to make the neutral faction in the inner hall choose to support.

The Baili father and son are inherently brilliant, their nature overbearing, introductory as the Young Master candidate, even those old-timers wish for the Baili Family to continue steering the wheel.

At this moment, even Gongyang Jue on the right was moved for a moment, suddenly realizing his dear nephew had changed, becoming more decisive, domineering, and bloodthirsty than before closing off for cultivation.

"My little sister is the jewel of our Baili family, a daughter of heaven, not everyone has the right to propose to her, let alone someone who can’t withstand a single blow from me."

With that said, Su Mu paused slightly, removing his gaze from the Whale-Slaying Saber and directing it haughtily at the two beneath with a smile.

"Well now, who’s next? Let me, this elder brother, test your sincerity."

Sss!

The headless body of Zhao Ku was still ’ss’sing blood onto the ground, causing everyone’s corners of their mouths to twitch, but none doubted it since everyone knew Baili Feng was extremely fond of the Second Miss.

Earlier, even several neutral Hall Masters and Elders felt Gongyang Jue went too far; taking action as Baili Feng’s brother by killing someone might seem impulsive, but it was understandable.

Moreover, the strength demonstrated by this Young Master made them pleased; Cyan Fish Gang indeed has successors!

Zhao Ku died miserably before their eyes. Whoever dared to step forward next would truly test their ’sincerity’, but who knows if their sincerity was more robust or the Whale-Slaying Saber was harder.

One after another, mocking, expecting gazes were cast upon Wang Zhong and Gong Sun He, whose lips turned pale, feeling their scalp tingle, and swallowed.

"Young Master... tonight, I was drunk, the drink got the better of me, the drink got the better of me..."

"Yes, yes, I too am a bit drunk; this wine, though good, shouldn’t be indulged, or it may ruin important affairs. The Second Miss is a daughter of heaven, how could I have the merits to propose."

Both hurriedly opened their mouths, their eyes suddenly becoming clear, inwardly cursing Hall Master Molin Zhao Cheng.

If it weren’t for his confident assurances that the Young Master was feigning bravado, how dared they offend? Now, does the Young Master show any hint of feigning? The magnificently roaring waves of Flood Dragon Shocking Skill are far superior, indeed, his entire strength is even more unfathomable than before!
