Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 170 - 130: Demon Beast Blood, Hiring Thugs to Kidnap

"The more the better."

Demon Beast Blood can be used as a medicinal guide for forging Jade Bone Pills, which is crucial for Fourth Bone Forging, and even higher, Fifth Bone Forging.

It can also be used to refine Medicinal Wine, and additionally for forging Grade-Entering Treasure Artifacts. Su Mu has the idea to use Fire Attribute Demon Beast Blood to forge his first Grade-Entering Great Spear.

Such a thing that accomplishes three goals at once, naturally, the more the merrier.

Wu Lie frowned slightly upon hearing this; Demon Beast Blood is not easy to obtain. But thinking that Su Mu probably wants to forge Grade-Entering Treasure Artifacts, he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I'll try my best."

The temper of blacksmiths is mostly fiery. Wu Lie is swift and decisive in his actions and brought back news that afternoon, "Xiaomu, there is no stock of Fire Attribute Demon Beast Blood, but I've placed an order."

"Uncle Wu, how much does the Demon Beast Blood cost? I'll pay you."

"Xiaomu, if you can forge a Grade-Entering Treasure Artifact, our Forging Workshop will gain another master, so don't worry about the Demon Beast Blood."

"Uncle Wu..."

Su Mu's words were directly interrupted. Wu Lie waved his hand, "This matter is not urgent; we can discuss it further after the Demon Blood arrives."

Wu Lie watched the young man leave, his eyes full of anticipation. Su Mu has now comprehended all the Treasure-Forge Art, "The matter of opening the fourth forging room should be put on the agenda."

...

"At least a month wait on Uncle Wu's side, a month is too long."

After leaving the small courtyard, Su Mu thought for a while, considering other methods simultaneously, as waiting for at least a month was not feasible for him.

Su Mu's mind turned rapidly, with scenes of auctions, Black Heart Pharmacy, and Black Market flashing through his mind. It was the end of the month, with some days to go until the auction.

"Black Heart Pharmacy involves people from the Demon Slayer Bureau... better to make a trip to the Black Market."

Su Mu recalled that when he first went to the Black Market, he saw someone purchasing Demon Beast Blood. He decided to try the Black Market, and if unsuccessful, he would have to go once more to Cang River County.

In the area of Qingyun County, Heishi Village is not the only place with a Black Market. Li Feiyu, during his one-year journey across Qingyun, took on many assignments, and there's a Black Market just over seventy li to the east of Qingyun City, not far from Yan Family Ridge.

"Return once, then make a trip to the Black Market."

As soon as Su Mu stepped onto North Yanque Street, a hint of doubt flashed deep in his eyes; he noticed someone lurking outside his courtyard.

"Someone spying on me?"

Su Mu did not use Spiritual Power, but now he has reached Four Times Refining Force, Three Times Bone Forging, Two Times Tendon Transformation, coupled with the continuous enhancement of his five senses during Comprehension breakthroughs, it is no exaggeration to say that any slight disturbance within ten zhang is perceived instantly.

The breathing of several warriors was extremely noticeable among ordinary people.

"Let's see who these esteemed guests are."

Su Mu feigned ignorance, casually walked on while glancing over the bustling crowd of Yanque Street, immediately capturing a few figures in his view.

"Three Bone Forging, no Seventh Grade."

As Su Mu had just opened the courtyard doors, the eyes of the three hidden in the crowd immediately locked onto him, a cold glint flicking deep in the boy's eyes upon noticing their gaze on him.

"Didn't expect anyone to target me after the Qingfeng Gang's Banquet of Hongmen."

"The opportunity is here; quickly take this Su kid back. Be gentle, make sure his limbs are intact."

"Just one young kid, do we really need all three of us to take on him? I think I alone can handle it."

"Enough chatter."

The three gathered among the crowd, circled Yanque Street once, then approached the deserted back door as night fell, flipping the wall as they entered.

They scanned the small courtyard, moving toward the brightly lit main hall.

Just then, a calm voice came from behind the trio, "You guys really took your time; I've been waiting for quite a while."

"May I ask what business you have?"

Startled, the three turned to see Su Mu standing calmly, exchanging a glance and realizing this Su kid wasn't so easy to handle, as he had obviously detected them long ago.

Leading the group, a tall man was not perturbed, greeted with a smile, "Our employer heard about your forging skills and wants to invite you to his residence to forge some weapons. If you're smart, come with us; otherwise, prepare for some suffering."

With those words, the two behind him stepped forward to surround Su Mu.

"Who is your employer?"

Su Mu's eyes flickered, immediately realizing he was mistaken; these three were not Li Zhihe's people, and likely not the Xiao Family either.

"Most likely, it's because the news of myself learning Treasure-Forge Art with the three master blacksmiths got out, causing people to target me."

Su Mu understood these individuals were here for him rather than Li Feiyu.

This wasn't the first time it happened; previously in Qingshui Town, Wu Heng from the Black Tiger Gang had entertained similar thoughts, and now his grave's grass must be over ten feet high.

"You sure talk a lot, really think you are something. You think I'm gonna tell you who my employer is? Follow me!"

From the left, a sinister-looking man snorted coldly and stepped forward.

"Rest assured, you'll be talking soon."

"Arrogant!"

Coldness flickered in the man's eyes who was about to act. Su Mu's ability to notice them was unclear, but it was three against one.

This kid might be tall, but at seventeen or eighteen years old, not fully grown, how could he be a match for the three of them, even if he had some martial skills? Such a young Blacksmith surely focuses solely on forging.

They had already scouted well; within the Forging Workshop, apart from Wu Lie who is a Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Martial Artist, there are only seven or eight old Eighth Grade Bone Forging masters.

Messing with those people aside, dealing with a young boy shouldn't pose much difficulty.

At that moment, the sinister-looking man took several quick steps, causing the wind to gust through the courtyard, sweeping forth a figure whose shadow trailed behind.

"Second's Lightweight Skill has grown more refined; even facing those Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Martial Artists, there's some defense,"

The tall man leading the group nodded secretly, already foreseeing the scene of second effortlessly subduing the young boy.

When faced with an attacker, Su Mu stood with hands behind his back, as if frozen, even closing his eyes.

"Even with extraordinary forging skills, just a young boy still; dealing with one like him does indeed require bull-like strength for a mere chicken."

The scrawny man on the right looked upon the scared Su Mu, eyes closed, with disdain.

But just as the man's hand was about to reach Su Mu's neck, Su Mu suddenly reacted; even with eyes closed, he was thoroughly aware, and none could sense that Su Mu had locked all three of them using his Spiritual Power.

Su Mu casually extended his hand; though appearing slow, the air thundered with a sudden crack as pure blood force shattered the trailing shadow, then swiftly landed on the man's neck.

Then, before the other two could react, Su Mu effortlessly lifted the man into the air like a chick. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"You... let go..."

The man frantically exerted his power, yet the hand gripping his neck felt as unmoveable as metal, unable to be budged at all.

Instead, due to his struggle, his face was flushed, breath heavy like an ox.

"Let me ask you once more; tell me who is behind you."

"You'll never get me to..."

A cold gleam appeared in Su Mu's eyes, exerting force with his hand.

Crack.

Before the words were finished, the man's neck was crushed under a fierce force, his eyes bulging, his Twice Bone-Forged skeleton shattered like porcelain in Su Mu's grip.

His neck bones abruptly crushed, blood bursting forth, his head drooped, as he breathed his last in disbelief.

Seemingly a lamb, Su Mu was indeed a fierce tiger ready to devour.

Casually dispatched, Su Mu's hands bore no blood and disdainfully threw the body down.

Boom!

The body landed heavily, as Su Mu with opened eyes turned to the remaining two alive individuals.
