Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 136 - 116: A Mind Like a Demon, Jade Bone Pill!

Su Mu withdrew his fist, and a flicker of lightning remained between the fingers of his left hand in the darkness.

There was the sound of startled birds in the courtyard!

Bai Yi turned abruptly, a swift sparrow cut through the long sky, infinitely magnifying in his pupils, its rapid movement leaving behind traces of residual shadows, among which faint images of willow catkins and flying cicadas mingled.

"How is this possible... how can this boy be so fast, only slightly slower than this old man."

Bai Yi's face changed dramatically, horror filled his heart; this boy's body technique had been cultivated to such an extent, and he still mastered such terrifying fist techniques and body techniques simultaneously.

Could this boy have started cultivating from the womb?

"Boy, what fist technique did you just use?" Bai Yi cried out in surprise.

"The dead need not know so much."

In a moment, Su Mu leaped a fraction further, closing in to deliver another tightly clenched punch, Bai Yi, terrified, could only muster a breath to support his injured right leg, using his body technique to blend into the night again.

Su Mu said nothing, twitching his nose to precisely lock onto Bai Yi's form once more.

Boom!

With a fist through the sky, lightning moved like a dragon and snake, a thunder dragon with gaping jaws pierced through the fleeing Bai Yi, causing his internal meridians to feel as if scorched by lightning, power and qi blood surged and dispersed.

Amid screams, the bloodied Bai Yi emerged once again, noticing the subtle twitch of Su Mu's nose just now, his whole body shuddered as he suddenly realized.

"Ink... this old man has been caught in your ploy from the start, such deep calculations... and that temporary cultivation of light skills was also your smoke bomb to confuse this old man?"

In an instant, Bai Yi understood everything, cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

The copying at the study tonight, the news from around the town and Li Mansion over the past few days, and today's deliberately misleading actions using cross-training martial arts.

Link by link, intertwined!

If all these machinations are of Li Feiyu, the mind of the one before him is so deeply calculating, truly, their intellect is demon-like.

"Boy, though this old man does not know how Li Mansion hired you, just spare this old man's life tonight, and I'll give double, no, ten times more!"

"No need, I only require one thing from you."

Hearing this, Bai Yi showed great joy, yet a deep-seated resentment flashed through his mind; if he could escape today, he must tear Li Feiyu to pieces, make him wish for death.

"Whatever you want, this old man will give..."

Before the words were finished, a broken blade spun and pierced through from his neck, 'whizzing' into the old locust tree trunk in the courtyard, disappearing from sight.

Bai Yi's eyes widened in disbelief, his whole body frantically channeled his power, clutching his neck with both hands, trying to seal the injury.

It was too late, blood at the neck suddenly expanded into a circle, fresh blood gushing out in torrents.

"I only want your head from your shoulders."

With words concluded, Bai Yi's mouth opened wanting to speak, but his voice box and throat bone had already been pierced by the short blade, he could not utter a sound.

Before his body fell, Bai Yi's countenance showed incredible disbelief; he, having mastered that seventh-grade lightness technique, had traversed Canghe County for over a decade, previously even protectors of the Black Mountain Rebel Army could do nothing to him, his speed surpassed the Four Protectors' Cyan-Faced Bat King, in terms of speed he was only second to none except when facing his bizarre secret technique.

Today, Bai Yi died at the hands of such an obscure young assassin.

Unwilling!

Finally, Bai Yi gazed deeply at the monster-like Su Mu, regret passing through his unbelievable face, if only he had not incited Li Feiyu. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Could he have survived?

But there is no remedy for regret in this world.

Unbeknownst to him, Bai Yi's death was sealed the moment he intended to strike at Li Feiyu, as Bai Yi was contaminated with the scent from Su Mu's ink pearl blasted by Pill Force.

The outcome of this battle was already clear.

And when Bai Yi received Su Mu's first punch, the scales of this battle completely tilted in Su Mu's favor, victory was ready to be declared.

During the new year's period at the medical hall, Su Mu detached slightly from busy days, and after breaking away from the fulfilling martial practice, his martial arts made progress!

At the medical hall, Su Mu comprehended the first killing move of the Thunder Shock Fist, Thunder Shocking the Sky.

This strike's fist force condenses into a line, able to penetrate enemy vital points through space, those hit will have meridians feeling scorched by electricity, their internal power difficult to maneuver, the greater the power difference from Su Mu, the more apparent the scorching effect.

"Bai Yi's own strength is actually not great... just like the Cyan-Faced Bat King, most of his power lies in his lightweight body technique and stealth technique."

This is why Bai Yi had no escape after the first punch, in front of Su Mu his fate was already sealed.

As for the intentional release of the news of practicing light skills before battle from Bai Yi's dying words, it was an accident, not Su Mu's intention.

Su Mu simply did not want to waste two days, considering other martial arts cultivation would expose himself.

The secret missive indicated Bai Yi's impressive light skills, so Su Mu resolved to comprehend two light skills, striving to enhance his light skill attainments within these two days, just in case.

But Bai Yi was right about one thing, he indeed used ink to decipher Bai Yi's stealth technique, using Pill Force to soak Bai Yi with ink, even if Bai Yi stripped on the spot, a trace of scent would remain.

This trace of scent falling into Su Mu's exceptionally keen senses was like a lantern in the night, extraordinarily conspicuous and eye-catching.
