Chapter 926 Trembling with Fear
"So, I'll be facing three formidable rivals next: Qiu Yuan, Qiu Zhi, and that Lin Yang?"
Unlike his previous opponents, before heading to the Qiu family, Patriarch Youlan specifically mentioned these three to Zhao Mu.
"Ok!"
Chen Lin nodded and said, "Qiu Yuan is a body cultivator with the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, and Qiu Zhi is a sword cultivator with the same cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm. The two of them are definitely not like He Junze, who is only half-baked. You absolutely cannot underestimate them."
As for Lin Yang...
What happened to Lin Yang?
Zhao Mu asked with some curiosity, "Master's wife, do you really think I would lose to him? I was the one who came out on top in the Langhuan Secret Realm Trial. How could Lin Yang be stronger than a disciple of the Holy Land of the same generation?"
Chen Lin clearly didn't know much about the Holy Land, but she knew very well that the killing of the early-stage eighth-tier Shadow Leopard was not a rumor, but a real event, and that the Shadow Leopard was not seriously injured, retaining at least more than 50% of its strength.
This is no longer the combat power one should possess at the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm.
"Lin Yang really killed an early-stage eighth-tier Shadow Leopard, even if he was injured. Could you have done that?"
Chen Lin's question left Zhao Mu speechless for a moment, because he had never actually fought against a demonic beast at the early stage of the eighth rank, so he couldn't give an answer.
But to be able to kill a demonic beast at the early stage of the eighth rank, even if he was injured, Lin Yang was definitely not a simple person.
"Actually, your teacher's wife is right to worry. You must be careful of this Lin Yang."
"At the same time, you should not place too much importance on your performance in the Langhuan Trial. You should understand that there are many similar events to the Langhuan Secret Realm Trial in the Cangwu Holy Land, and the overall strength of the Cangwu Holy Land is not outstanding among the nine holy lands."
"As far as I know, someone from the Holy Land of Tongtian Mountain once visited our Hunyuan Taiqing Palace and brought a very strong young man. No one in Hunyuan Taiqing Palace could match him, and many of our disciples were even defeated by him."
"Qiu Yuan and Qiu Zhi were also among them, both of whom were defeated by that person."
"In the end, it was Lin Yang who made the move."
"Won?"
Zhao Mu asked curiously.
"Ok!"
Youlan nodded and said, "A Pyrrhic victory."
"There are always people better than you, and there are always higher levels to reach. The younger generation of the Holy Land is indeed more capable than the major forces of the Kunwu Continent. However, the Kunwu Continent is too large. Given its massive population, it is not surprising that there are people who are more powerful than their peers in the Holy Land."
"I will always remember the teachings of Ancestor Youlan!"
Zhao Mu respectfully cupped his hands in greeting, keeping these words firmly in mind.
Indeed, ever since he participated in the Langhuan Secret Realm Trial and won first place, he has become a bit arrogant.
Of course, the cold water poured on him by Patriarch Youlan and his master's wife was not enough to instill fear in him; on the contrary, he was even more eager to fight Lin Yang.
"Let's go, let's go to the Qiu family first!"
Seeing that Zhao Mu had taken her words to heart, Youlan nodded in satisfaction and then led everyone to the Qiu family.
Before long, they arrived at the Qiu family's residence.
This is a small town built on a mountaintop. The buildings are not particularly grand or magnificent; on the contrary, they look rather simple and unadorned.
The Qiu family patriarch was a bald, white-browed old man with a somewhat rounded build, looking like a Maitreya Buddha. However, there was no smile in his eyes; instead, they carried a hint of ferocity.
It's obvious at a glance that they're not someone to be trifled with.
On his left and right sides stood two men. The one on the left was burly and should be the body cultivator Qiu Yuan, while the man in the brocade robe on the right was holding a pair of white accessories and was obviously the sword cultivator Qiu Zhi.
Besides these two, there were six other young members of the Qiu family standing in front, lined up in a row. They were all at the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, but they were obviously older than Zhao Mu, probably around forty years old, with the youngest being around thirty-five.
They could be considered peers, if not peers.
"These people are..."
Zhao Mu was a bit strange. After becoming famous in the battle against the He family, the subsequent families all chose not to bring anyone to watch, for fear that they were not good enough and would be slapped by him and lose face. They only brought one or two outstanding juniors.
But it seems that the He family has produced eight people.
Six cannon fodder?
"The Qiu family patriarch is known for his caution. Clearly, these six people are his special test to see how you are doing so that Qiu Yuan and Qiu Zhi have a better chance of winning."
Youlan explained from the side.
This old man Qiu has been fighting with her man for over a thousand years, and she knows him very well.
"They're really cautious."
Zhao Mu couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. Without wasting words, he stepped forward through the void and said to the Qiu family, "Who wants to go first? Or are you all going to attack at once?"
"Shuzi is rampant!"
The shortest of the six stepped forward, brandishing a broadsword, and pointed it at Zhao Mu, saying, "Your grandpa's name is Qiu Pei. I hope your skills are better than your words!"
hum~
The broadsword instantly magnified dozens of times, transforming into a gigantic blade shadow that descended with terrifying force toward Zhao Mu's forehead.
Those around instinctively moved away, stunned by the blow.
The Qiu family is indeed extraordinary; they sent out a prodigy with exceptional strength for their very first battle.
This strike was incredibly powerful. Among the spectators were many cultivators at the Fourth Extreme Realm. Those at the Great Perfection of the Fourth Extreme Realm were all weighing the strike, and after weighing it, they were horrified to find that they could not withstand it.
However, the next moment, their eyes widened in surprise.
Such a terrifying strike was actually shattered by Zhao Mu's single slap.
hiss~
When the blade shattered and dissipated into a gust of wind, the onlookers all gasped in shock.
Such a terrifying strike was so easily shattered?
Brother! Are you really at the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm?
Is the power of dual cultivation of spirit and body really that terrifying?
A series of questions arose in everyone's mind.
"This...how can this be...?"
Call ~
Boom~
Before he could even utter the word "can," he was slapped hard across the face, flying through the air as if he'd struck gold, crashing into the cliff face, unable to be pulled out.
Gollum~
Seeing their companion suffer such a swift and decisive defeat, the rest of the Qiu family members swallowed hard, clearly shocked.
This Zhao Mu is even more powerful than rumored, and his attacks are even more ruthless.
If that slap had landed squarely on my face...
hiss~
No one dared to imagine what would happen.
"Humph~"
Zhao Mu snorted lightly, turned to the side, and beckoned to the Qiu family members with his index finger, "Next."
The five members of the Qiu family hesitated, looking at each other and hoping someone else would go first.
The Qiu family patriarch squinted and said nothing.
“Ancestor, there’s no need for that. They can’t fathom Zhao Mu’s true strength.”
Qiu Yuan bowed slightly to the Qiu family patriarch and said, "I might as well just go for it!"
Two slaps and the fight was over, how can you tell anything from that?
The people we found were too weak!
"Ok!"
The Qiu family patriarch nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed unnecessary.
Call ~
The remaining members of the Qiu family breathed a sigh of relief; at least they wouldn't get beaten up today!
