Mythical Cultivation

Only the young man's wailing could be heard. Wu Ming tore a piece of cloth from his own body and stuffed it into his mouth, then carried him towards the Lin Mansion, intending to go back and carefully question who was trying to kill him. However, just as he reached the alley entrance, he saw a group of people rushing in. Seeing that Wu Ming was safe and sound, the leader was relieved. He had also been urged by the shopkeeper to rush over, fearing that Lin Feng was injured or in trouble. Fortunately, it seemed that nothing was wrong.

"Third Young Master, are you okay?" the leading captain asked Wu Ming.

"It's okay, he's just a troublemaker, take him back first, I'll be back soon." Wu Ming ordered.

Upon hearing this, the captain took the young man from Wu Ming's hands and prepared to take him back for questioning. Wu Ming returned to the shop he had been in earlier and chose a suit of clothes he liked before returning to the mansion. As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he saw a servant come with a message saying that the master wanted to see him, so he went back to the family's meeting hall.

"Didn't I tell you to rest at home during this period? Why did you sneak out?" Wu Ming heard Lin Jinxian's question as soon as he entered the door.

"Father, my injury has healed. I was just feeling a bit bored staying at home, so I went out to get some fresh air." Wu Ming said helplessly.

"We got some unexpected information from the young man who was causing trouble that you arrested today."

"What news? Do you know who asked him to cause trouble?" Wu Ming pretended to be confused.

Lin Jinxian wasn't sure if he knew the real culprit behind his murder, but he still said, "According to that person, your murder was a conspiracy between the Xiao and Bai families. I wanted him to tell me who ordered you to cause trouble, but I didn't expect to get this unexpected news. Now let's see what the Xiao and Bai families have to say."

Wu Ming also pretended to say, "I usually considered them my friends, but I didn't expect them to treat me like this."

"I told you a long time ago not to associate with them, but you didn't listen." Then he began to educate Wu Ming again.

"I was possessed by evil spirits before, but now I repent."

"Don't get involved in this matter. Leave the rest to me. With your strength, you will only be cannon fodder if you get involved. Just stay put," said Lin Jinxian.

"Father, you underestimate me. My strength has improved greatly recently. I think there are few people below the Blood Qi Realm who can be my match." Wu Ming boasted. He also wanted to see what the difference was between the masters of this world and the masters of the original world.

"No one below the Blood Qi Realm can match you? Even your elder brother wouldn't dare say such a thing before. Ah Hao, go test him and be more restrained." Lin Jinxian said to Lin Hao who was standing beside him. Listening to Lin Jinxian's words, Wu Ming knew he was being underestimated. Although he knew that Lin Hao was a true genius in Qingshi City and must have reached the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm by now, asking him to be more restrained was looking down on him.

The three men walked out of the meeting hall and came to the yard. The two brothers took their positions. Lin Hao drew out a long sword, and Wu Ming also drew out the long knife in his hand. Lin Hao and Lin Jinxian did not think much when they saw that he suddenly used a knife instead of a sword. After all, it was just a weapon. Martial artists in the Body Refining Realm could use anything, it was purely a matter of personal preference, but it was different when they reached the Blood Qi Realm. It was too early to say that now.

Seeing that Lin Hao was waiting for him to make the first move, Wu Ming knew that Lin Hao was afraid of being bullied by the weak, so he did not wait any longer. He moved his body and swung his long sword to chop at Lin Hao. It was the Thunder Sword Technique. The Thunder Sword Technique was fierce and powerful like thunder. Every move was accompanied by the sound of thunder.

This Benlei Blade Technique has reached the point of perfection, with bursts of thunder accompanying each strike. Does this kid have another hidden trick? It seems I haven't paid enough attention to him. Lin Jinxian simply thought that because Lin Feng was diligent in his training, he hadn't paid enough attention to him, so he thought about paying more attention to him in the future.

Lin Hao's calm demeanor shifted slightly when he heard the rumbles of thunder. This was due to his high realm, allowing him to remain calm. If he were facing an opponent of the same realm, or even a lower one, he would have already begun to feel defeated. If he had been so timid before the battle, he would have been doomed to failure. However, it didn't affect him much. Lin Hao's longsword moved, perfectly positioned in the path of the longsword. He then steered the longsword aside, interrupting Wu Ming's thunderous momentum. Then, with another thrust of the longsword, it stabbed Wu Ming in the chest.

Wu Ming had assumed that the first strike of his thundering blade would affect Lin Hao's state of mind, and the relentless surge of thunder would leave Lin Hao completely powerless to resist. However, he was unexpectedly interrupted on the first strike. It seemed he couldn't underestimate the warriors of this realm. Lin Hao thrust his sword forward, but Wu Ming remained calm, withdrawing his blade as if to block. However, the expected collision didn't occur. Instead, the sword struck his groin, unblocked. Unexpectedly, the strike was a feint, while the groin was the real move. How insidious! Further blocking with his upper body would have left him vulnerable, allowing him to fall directly into Lin Hao's rhythm. Wu Ming stopped blocking and retreated, allowing Lin Hao's attack to land.

Seeing this, Lin Jinxian nodded secretly, feeling that Lin Feng wasn't stupid and hadn't fallen for Lin Hao's trap. Lin Hao's sword strike was ineffective, so he thrust out another one. He didn't use any sword techniques, just kept thrusting out sword after sword, making Wu Ming exhausted. Since Wu Ming was only at the seventh level of Body Refining, while Lin Hao was at least at the ninth level, the difference in their cultivation levels was significant, so Wu Ming was at a disadvantage for a while.

"This won't do," Wu Ming thought to himself, unleashing another Thunder Blade Technique, but secretly channeling the Sword Intention he had recently grasped. Lin Hao didn't notice at first and thrust forward as usual, but the moment the swords collided, Lin Hao sensed a domineering aura emanating from the blade, breaking his own, while Wu Ming's blade continued its downward trajectory. "It's actually Sword Intention," Lin Jinxian and his son realized simultaneously.

The moment Lin Hao realized this, he retracted his sword and quickly retreated. Then, he unleashed his masterful drizzle sword technique, using a gentle, continuous force to fragment Wu Ming's sword intent, gradually dispersing it. This shifted Wu Ming's attack from offense to defense. Clearly, Wu Ming would have had the upper hand had Lin Hao not revealed more of his strength. However, Lin Hao's drizzle sword technique had also been mastered to perfection, creating an impenetrable defense that Wu Ming could not penetrate. Dozens of moves passed, the two men trading blows, each unable to determine the winner.

"Alright, stop it," Lin Jinxian said, telling the two to stop, and they both put away their swords. Lin Hao came over and patted Wu Ming on the shoulder, saying, "Good boy, you still have this trick up your sleeve. Not bad." Wu Ming also smiled and said, "Even the sword intent can't do anything to you, big brother. I'm far from it. Big brother's strength is also hidden."

"When did Feng'er's strength improve so quickly that he even comprehended the sword intent." Lin Jinxian also praised.

"My strength is not bad now. I can participate in the fight with the Xiao and Bai families." Wu Ming was also eager to try.

"We'll talk about your participation later. It just so happens that your strength has reached this level. You can be used as a surprise force at the critical moment to catch them off guard." Lin Jinxian did not refuse directly, but just didn't want him to act rashly.

Then he asked Wu Ming to show up less recently to avoid being targeted by the other two families. After Wu Ming left, he called the family elders and began to discuss how to deal with the conspiracies of the two families in the future.
