Chapter 124: Who’s More Powerful?_2
Translator: 549690339
He had faintly sensed that something was off about the other party when they were in the ruins, but he just couldn’t be certain.
He was very clear about his own abilities. The fact that the other party had woken up with him, neither earlier nor later, proved that they were no ordinary power.
He knew Xu Yiren through and through. He didn’t believe that Xu Yiren had the ability to turn the other three, so there was only one possibility – Xu Mu was behind this.
“Whether it was me or not isn’t important. What’s important is, friend, you’ve been too clever!”
Xu Mu took out a strange transparent worm and began to toy with it in his hand.
Seeing the worm, Shen Gai’s pupils involuntarily constricted. This was the thing he had placed on the other party when he had left the ruins. It could be used to track the target.
Originally, he wanted to trace Xu Mu’s whereabouts, but then he mysteriously lost contact.
“Could it be that such a thing provoked you to help Xu Yiren?” Shen Gai said calmly.
“No!”
Xu Mu shook his head.
“I just wanted to recruit some useful people.”
“Then why didn’t you choose me?”
Shen Gai narrowed his eyes, his fatty body crazily shrunk. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a hulking figure, his facial features becoming strikingly handsome. Except for those small eyes unchanged.
“You’re too clever. You’d be difficult to control.” Xu Mu spoke indifferently.
“So why are you blocking my path?”
A red, fine iron rod appeared in Shen Gai’s hand. It looked formidable.
“Not only are you clever, but you’re also ambitious. To me, you’re always a trouble.”
Xu Mu held up a flame in his hand, burning the transparent worm to ashes. His gaze was fixed on Shen Gai, his tone steady but filled with killing intent.
To him, Shen Gai was an unstable factor. If it weren’t for him not having found Shen Gai yesterday, he would have dealt with him already.
He had taken control of the Whale Sea Gang just to get himself an ally, he was not expecting the Whale Sea Gang to grow stronger. Therefore, a dim-witted woman like Xu Yiren was clearly more suitable.
On the other hand, Shen Gai was too ambitious and had certain power. If he became the gang leader, he’d create a lot of trouble for Xu Mu.
“You think too highly of yourself, don’t you?”
Shen Gai sneered contemptuously.
In a fight, two tigers cannot share a hill. The moment he lost the competition, it was certain that he could no longer stay in the Whale Sea Gang.
He didn’t expect the other side to be so decisive and cruel, not giving him a chance to catch his breath.
If Xu Mu had risen suddenly, using his strong power to become the gang leader, that would’ve been fine. It’s a law of the jungle, the weak bow to the strong. The gang could’ve probably tolerated him.
But Xu Mu now used Xu Yiren as a puppet, clearly hiding himself. It was clear to someone as sharp as Shen Gai that he only sought stability and Shen Gai was clearly unsuitable for that, and in any case, he had to be eliminated.
Seeing the situation clearly, he ran right away, but he didn’t expect Xu Mu to react even faster than him.
However, he was still a bit confident in his own abilities. Even if he couldn’t defeat Xu Mu, he thought he could at least outrun him. He just ran off early as a precaution.
“Overreaching? Haha!”
Xu Mu laughed heartily.
“What are you laughing at?” Shen Gai asked coldly.
“Nothing! Just making you feel at ease on your way!”
Even before his words finished, his body transformed into a phantom electric shark. His body was flashing with silver lightning. Before Shen Gai could react, a bolt of silver lightning flew out and hit Shen Gai in the blink of an eye.
Shen Gai’s body stiffened, his face showing struggle. He was clearly trapped in an illusion.
Xu Mu showed no mercy, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand.
Swish!
A golden lightning flashed, and Shen Gai’s dead body fell apart in an instant.
“Too weak!”
Xu Mu sighed.
After all, Shen Gai was just a loose cultivator. Even though he practiced both body and law, he was not a match for Xu Mu.
After he had taken all the valuable items, he burned the body to ashes. Xu Mu returned to Black Tide Island just when the grand ceremony was beginning.
After the dull ceremony, Yang Wanshou and the other two excused themselves and left, leaving only Xu Mu and Xu Yiren behind.
“Friend Xu, isn’t it time to fulfill our agreement?”
Xu Mu held a wine cup, his face wearing a smile that wasn’t quite one.
Still in the dreamlike change of identity, Xu Yiren’s face turned red. Even though she was no longer a freshman, it was still a bit uncomfortable to be suddenly with a person she was not very familiar with.
“Rest assured, friend Xu. I will definitely keep my promise!”
Xu Yiren bit her red lip.
“Still calling me friend Xu?”
Xu Mu reached out and grabbed her, pulling her in front of him and onto his lap.
“Xu, Xu Lang!”
Xu Yiren’s flushed face became even more inviting. She looked as red as a ripe apple, looking shy and coy, a stark contrast to her usually mature and composed appearance.
It seems no woman could avoid feeling a bit shy at this point.
The next moment, Xu Yiren’s face changed, unexpectedly Xu Mu made a sudden attack, surprising her so much that she let out a cry of alarm.
“What are you… This is the hall!”
Indeed, they were still sitting in the hall, with only the servants and disciples having been dismissed.
She wasn’t like those women in the hook bars, not daring to go this far.
“Relax! Just release your Divine Intent to sense the surroundings. If someone comes, just stop!” Xu Mu teased.
His hands moved mysteriously, not stopping for a moment.
“What? Release Divine Intent?!”
Xu Yiren’s face didn’t know whether it was from anger, or embarrassment.
What kind of talk was that?
This wasn’t her residence, it was Whale Falling Chen’s residence, and there were many servants and maids around.
Letting her watch others, separated only by a wall, this wouldn’t be….
Wouldn’t be…
Xu Yiren didn’t even know what she was thinking, her strength drained from her, and a trickle of moisture began to appear.
Xu Mu’s eyes brightened, he didn’t expect such a reaction from Xu Yiren just from a few casual words.
It seemed like although Xu Yiren was older, her experience in these matters was far less than Ye Yingying and the others.
Of course it could also be that Xu Mu used it too much and the others had already developed immunity.
Xu Yiren’s reaction gave him a feeling of encountering a newborn chick, he couldn’t help but want to tease her a bit.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, tearing off the purple robe he wore.
“What are you doing? !!”
Against Xu Mu’s power, Xu Yiren, who was only at the third layer of Foundation Establishment, had no power to resist. She had already been subdued by Xu Mu and couldn’t react in time when he suddenly moved.
She was shocked and terrified.
She had never even thought of experiencing something like this, let alone having done it.
But it was too late to resist now.
Xu Mu’s hands emitted a bright lightning, under his exquisite control, directly penetrated Xu Yiren’s body, so she couldn’t even move her body, let alone operate her Spiritual Power.
Her whole person was paralyzed!
“Don’t worry! I’m here!”
Xu Mu smiled and led her forward. Then, to Xu Yiren’s horror, he just pushed the door and walked out.
No!
Xu Yiren was terrified inside, but she couldn’t say a word.
People were coming and going in the yard, completely unaware of the two.
It turned out that before Xu Mu came out, he had already used the Invisibility Technique. The servants in the yard with their first and second layer cultivation base, had no way of detecting them.
Even knowing all this, Xu Yiren’s body was shaking as though she were cold.
The flushed redness of her face seemed almost ready to drip.
Xu Mu looked at the entrance, it was gushing like a newly opened spring, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Friend Xu, your endurance is really lacking!”
“You, you bastard!”
Xu Yiren was furious, but with her Spiritual Power cut off, she couldn’t precisely control her body, and only had her instincts like a mortal.
And this kind of unprecedented experience beyond her perception was about to shatter her Dao heart.
“Friend, don’t worry! There’s more to come!” Xu Mu laughed.
“What do you mean?”
Xu Yiren was dumbfounded.
“Marketplace!”
“What!!! You!!!”
Xu Yiren fainted on the spot.
This time, the entrance was really like a fountain.
“She really can’t take a joke!”
Xu Mu shook his head and had to take her home.
The passing servants, seeing the unexplained puddle, scratched their heads in confusion, they had just cleaned it.
“Did that bastard sneak some drinks and spill them? That’s very annoying! If the new Gang Leader knows about it, it could get troublesome!”
The servant hurried to clean up the puddle.
On the other hand, Xu Yiren who had fainted, woke up after a while and on waking, she immediately wanted to hit someone.
Xu Mu quickly went in the hole and subdued her in a few moves.
It took a long time before he said:
“Friend Xu, tell me who is better, me or that old fart!”
