Chapter 199: With the Tiny Glow of a Firefly
At this moment, Zong Hongsheng was already furious.
Are you insane?
Are you sick in the head?
You are not afraid of a Mid Dragon General!
You are not afraid of an Earth Rank expert!
You insist on fighting me to the end over a few worthless lives!
Fine!
Today, I will show you that I am not someone you can provoke whenever you please!
He let out a furious roar, and his True Qi erupted violently.
Crystal-like patterns instantly spread from his body to his face.
Just this burst of True Qi alone forced An Xing and the other experts of the same level to retreat several steps.
Hong Liangpeng was Profound Rank Eighth Grade.
He did not retreat.
However, Li Mu’s attitude toward him just now had truly not given him even the slightest bit of face.
This was simply outrageous!
So he did not stop Li Mu from going up to fight Zong Hongsheng.
But he had no intention of stopping Zong Hongsheng either.
He felt that Li Mu had truly become boundlessly arrogant.
Zong Hongsheng was, after all, a Profound Rank Seventh Grade expert. Li Mu was at most a Profound Rank First Grade.
As for killing that Earth Rank monster, that had been accomplished through the combined strength of more than forty Profound Rank Martial Artists.
It was not Li Mu’s achievement alone!
Even if he let Li Mu kill him, could Li Mu truly defeat Zong Hongsheng?
At this moment, An Xing and the others could no longer participate in this battle.
Li Mu had the confidence to defy Zong Hongyuan.
They did not.
If Li Mu truly could not defeat Zong Hongsheng, they could do their utmost to protect Li Mu’s life.
But asking them to kill Zong Hongsheng on the spot like Li Mu?
They did not have the confidence to protect their own families afterward.
After crystalline demonic patterns appeared all over Zong Hongsheng’s body, he raised his left arm to block Li Mu’s Ghostface Cudgel!
Crack!
The cudgel struck him.
Zong Hongsheng’s entire body flew sideways and smashed a metal pillar flat on the spot.
As for Zong Hongsheng’s entire left arm, it shattered everywhere like crystal!
A large chunk of his neck had also been smashed apart.
But the damaged area was dazzling like crystal and did not bleed at all.
Moreover, it was rapidly repairing itself!
In the blink of an eye, his arm had grown back.
By now, the crystalline demonic patterns had already turned pale gold.
His aura was even stronger than before!
When he circulated his defensive cultivation art, he was like a wall of bronze and iron, giving off the sense that there was no gap to exploit.
Zong Hongsheng twisted his body and climbed back up, glaring viciously at Li Mu.
“Look around you. Do you have any comrades at your side? Do you know why you are alone?”
“It is because you—”
Before his voice could fall, his eyes suddenly contracted.
He saw Li Mu’s figure flicker, and twenty External Incarnations actually appeared!
Every one of them had a heaven-shaking aura!
“This crystal body of yours seems very resistant to beating. Then I will entertain you properly!”
“I hope you can let me deal my full damage!”
“Immobilize!”
Li Mu pointed with one hand.
Zong Hongsheng felt his body tighten!
Then his eyes suddenly revealed terror.
He could not move?
As a Profound Rank Seventh Grade expert, he had never experienced such a terrifying control method!
And what had Li Mu done?
He had merely pointed a finger, said “immobilize,” and Zong Hongsheng was immobilized?
There was no time for him to be shocked. The first incarnation had already attacked!
A cudgel swept across his waist and abdomen.
Zong Hongsheng had only been immobilized for half a second, but by the time he recovered, his entire body had already been struck into the shape of a folded shrimp and sent flying!
A large section of the crystal across his waist and abdomen cracked and shattered.
Aside from the Immobilization Art, what terrified Zong Hongsheng the most was the ordinary attack from Li Mu’s clone!
His crystalline defense was an ultimate defensive method enhanced by his S-Grade Talent!
It was his greatest trump card!
Once he activated this method, even if Long Jianying and An Xing attacked together, even if they used their strongest attacks against him, at most they would only make clanging sounds and leave behind a few white marks!
But Li Mu’s External Incarnation had merely swung an ordinary attack at random.
Yet it could actually smash his crystalline defense apart?
He howled in rage and tried to adjust his posture in midair.
But a demonic voice sounded beside his ear:
“Immobilize!”
The moment one External Incarnation shouted, another cudgel struck his back!
It sent him flying toward another incarnation on the opposite side!
After Li Mu used the Immobilization Art, all of his External Incarnations could use the Immobilization Art once.
The instant Zong Hongsheng arrived in front of that incarnation,
“Immobilize!”
Bang!
“Immobilize!”
Bang!
The twenty External Incarnations were like people batting a ping-pong ball back and forth.
They struck Zong Hongsheng with heavy bangs, sending him flying chaotically back and forth.
Every blow knocked fragments from him!
Zong Hongsheng’s body grew smaller and smaller as he was beaten. In the end, only half of his torso remained!
On the twelfth strike, an incarnation knocked Zong Hongsheng into the air!
All the incarnations soared up at once.
All of the Divine Weapons smashed down toward Zong Hongsheng’s head at the same time!
Boom!
Zong Hongsheng was like a cannonball, directly blasting a massive crater into the ground!
The terrifying shockwave knocked down all the surrounding walls.
And at the bottom of the huge crater were several pieces of Zong Hongsheng’s “remains.”
Before the dust had settled, Li Mu had already pointed coldly into the crater.
“Heavenly Might!”
It was no less than a nuclear bomb falling. The missile crater instantly became a meteor crater!
The terrifying shockwave blasted even the originally intact buildings of the Law Enforcement Bureau Headquarters into rubble.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, there was not the slightest trace of Zong Hongsheng’s remains at the bottom of the huge crater.
An Xing sighed inwardly.
Zong Hongsheng was miserable... Even a blender grinding beans could not grind them this thoroughly!
This was great. Even the funeral was saved. He could be buried right where he died.
An Xing did not even dare to breathe too deeply right now, afraid he might inhale Zong Hongsheng into his lungs...
【Victory! Triumph Points +29,000】
【Obtained S-Grade Destiny Spirit Crystal: Demonic Pattern Mutation】
The moment the system notification appeared, Li Mu knew that Zong Hongsheng had already died without even a burial place.
Originally, he had not wanted to kill Zong Hongsheng.
According to what the mute women had indicated, Zong Hongsheng had abducted many people.
Li Mu had originally wanted to keep his dog life for now and uncover everything, then torture him thoroughly!
But Zong Hongyuan had not even bothered to pretend. With a single document, he had tried to take Zong Hongsheng away.
To avoid further trouble, Li Mu decided to kill him first!
As for the other people Zong Hongsheng had abducted, as long as he had done it, he would definitely have left traces behind. A thorough investigation would eventually reveal the truth.
On the way here, Lu Chenfeng had already collected enough evidence from the second basement level and had then gone straight to Zong Hongsheng’s residence to search it.
At this moment, Li Mu turned and looked at Hong Liangpeng.
Hong Liangpeng’s entire person was already dazed!
He did not understand where Li Mu had gotten such courage.
An Earth Rank expert!
Was he not afraid of even an Earth Rank expert?
As for everyone else, they had already fallen into complete shock!
Long Jianying and the others in particular felt cold sweat break out across their backs.
What kind of joke was this?
Li Mu was a Profound Rank First Grade, yet killing Zong Hongsheng had been as easy as killing a dog!
This was the Profound Rank! The difference between every grade was enormous!
No matter how one looked at it, Li Mu seemed more like the Seventh Grade, while Zong Hongsheng had been the First Grade.
And what Li Mu had said just now truly had not been boasting.
Zong Hongsheng had seemingly not even allowed Li Mu to deal his full damage.
An Xing and the others had no idea that after Li Mu used Heavenly Might, a portion of it would remain on his Divine Weapon Art.
Even setting aside what they did not know, Li Mu had not drawn the Safe-Haven Method, had not drunk wine, and had not used that miraculous move that made his Divine Weapons fly up and fight on their own.
The most shocked of all were the thirty mute women.
Li Mu’s strength far exceeded their understanding.
And what felt most dreamlike to them was that, for their sake, Li Mu had not hesitated to defy the threat of an Earth Rank expert and had truly killed Zong Hongsheng.
Regardless of whether it had been for them or not, this act had unconsciously drawn all hatred onto Li Mu alone.
At the very least, it protected them from being taken away again and falling into another tiger’s den.
They no longer had parents.
After enduring endless torment, they had no one to rely on.
Calling Li Mu their god would not be excessive at all.
Hong Liangpeng’s expression was somewhat dispirited. He asked in confusion:
“I do not understand. Why go this far?”
“Even if you killed him, so what?”
“There will still be a second one, and a third one!”
“This world is so vast!”
“With your tiny firefly glow, can you truly illuminate all the injustices in this world?”
