Chapter 193 192: Attack 2

He was truly an expert, having reached the Innate Realm through spiritual cultivation. He was one of the few formidable opponents Mu Lin had encountered lately.

The words had barely left his mouth when Mr. Chang lifted his leg and strode toward Mu Lin.

Mu Lin, however, simply waved his hand. A mass of chilling white Qi condensed into a Qi dragon that shot straight for Mr. Chang.

Mr. Chang's brow twitched. He immediately snatched the small notebook from his coat and gave it a forceful wave.

For a moment, the snow-white Qi dragon showed signs of disintegrating. It scattered into a vast white mist, causing the ambient temperature to plummet.

This maneuver took Mu Lin by surprise.

The small notebook in Mr. Chang's hand actually had the power to dispel spiritual attacks.

Wherever the notebook was waved, a void would appear in the mental projection inside Mu Lin's mind.

However, the void didn't last long, vanishing after a single breath.

But for his offensive techniques, this was a particularly vexing problem.

Nearly all of his ranged attacks would be dispelled by the notebook.

"Young man, you're quite interesting. Condensing Icy Marrow into a Qi dragon to attack... and so fast, too. If I didn't have a way to counter it, I'm afraid I would have been frozen into an ice sculpture."

This made Mu Lin even more certain that Mr. Chang was no pushover. He was knowledgeable, had many tricks up his sleeve, and indeed possessed the aura of a Divine Realm expert.

Those with sufficient power could naturally leverage it to gain great advantages, even obtaining countless Magical Treasures.

As a result, their ability to adapt to changing situations was immeasurably greater than that of a less powerful Martial Artist.

It was only natural that they would hold more advantages.

A sharp smile touched Mr. Chang's lips. He suddenly moved, his feet like the wind as he rushed straight for Mu Lin.

'Isn't he just courting death?' Mu Lin thought.

'Once he's in close, he's in my domain.'

He calmed his mind and focused, ready to face Mr. Chang's assault. He had already prepared countless counterattacks.

The moment Mr. Chang's attack failed, an overwhelming and endless barrage of techniques would be waiting for him.

Mr. Chang was sure to fall into his hands.

In the blink of an eye, Mr. Chang was in front of Mu Lin. He raised his hand to strike, but at that moment, his consciousness suddenly blurred.

'I can't see.'

'I really can't see anything.'

The bizarre sensation was incredibly unsettling, but he immediately realized what it was. 'It must be a spiritual attack.'

'Isn't this my own specialty?'

But in an instant, his mind cleared, and he prepared to continue his next wave of attack.

Mr. Chang retreated half a step, then condensed a burst of Qi Force in his palm and launched it at Mu Lin.

Since Mu Lin was a first-level Grandmaster, Mr. Chang judged that his Protective Gang Qi must be powerful. He naturally needed to destroy the Protective Gang Qi first before he could finish Mu Lin.

The Qi Force met some resistance, but Mr. Chang wasn't surprised. 'It would be strange if there wasn't any!'

He increased his output, and the Qi Force surged toward Mu Lin like an unending stream.

PFFT!

The speed of the infusion suddenly accelerated to an unbelievable degree.

'That's it!' he thought. 'The kid's Protective Gang Qi has been breached.'

Mr. Chang raised his hand and grabbed the small notebook, which had a ruby set into its base.

But this was not merely for decoration; it had a special purpose.

Mr. Chang let out a hearty laugh. "Those who forsake the divine oracle shall be expelled!"

With that, Mr. Chang raised the notebook, preparing to bring it smashing down.

But Mu Lin suddenly moved, a heavy, powerful punch shooting straight for Mr. Chang.

Mr. Chang was utterly stunned. 'What is happening?'

'This man should be completely helpless by now!'

He hastily channeled his Qi Force to envelop his body, hoping to form it into a formidable Protective Gang Qi.

But it wasn't that simple.

Mu Lin's fist was immensely heavy and powerful. The Protective Gang Qi was as fragile as paper; it was torn apart with a RIIIP!

BOOM! A gaping hole appeared in Mr. Chang's chest. His ribs were shattered, and deep within the cavity of bone, part of his heart could be seen still struggling to beat.

'Why? Why?'

'What is this!'

"You... you..." Mr. Chang pointed at Mu Lin in astonishment, exclaiming, "How were you not..."

Mu Lin said, "Not controlled by you? It's simple. I'm stronger than you. I'm stronger than you in every conceivable way—stronger by far. Is that reason enough for you?"

The corners of Mr. Chang's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He was truly on the verge of breaking down.

"How can this be? How?"

Of course, Mu Lin had no intention of telling him the reason. For a charlatan like this, nothing was more satisfying than letting him die full of unanswered questions, unable to rest in peace.

Mu Lin called into the house, "Uncle Zhou, Miss Ye, you can come out now!"

Zhou Qianfan and Ye Chunshui cautiously emerged from inside.

They were trembling slightly, a sight that was hard not to find amusing.

Zhou Qianfan pointed at Mr. Chang on the floor. "He's dead?"

"Yep," Mu Lin said. "Dead."

Zhou Qianfan pursed his lips, utterly shocked.

According to the information he'd just looked up, this Mr. Chang was an exceptionally unique powerhouse. His spiritual abilities were top-tier, and he could use his position in his organization to call on aid from Western experts.

This special status allowed him to act with impunity.

Just as he'd received that information, he'd heard Xu Tianyi's arrogant laughter from outside.

'I thought we were done for...'

It had been so hopeless. The combination of feelings, the extreme whiplash from despair to relief, was enough to frighten a man to death.

Zhou Qianfan said, "Mu Lin, can you please not make things so intense? Your Uncle Zhou can't take it."

Mu Lin waved his hand. "It was truly a life-or-death moment. I really didn't mean to scare you. I wasn't even sure if I would make it through this ordeal myself."
