Chapter 26: Battle with the Wooden Captain
Captain Mu was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, it would be okay to tell Lin Mo about this, so he said, "You should know that I led the team to destroy the Jiaoshe Gang and the Dihu Society yesterday. When the Jiaoshe Gang was about to eliminate their leader Yun Tianqing, a man in black who was good at claw attacks saved Yun Tianqing at that time. His cultivation was also in the acquired realm. Apart from this person, I didn't find any sneaky people."
Lin Mo didn't take it seriously and said, "The Hu family is behind the Earth Tiger Society, so there should be a force behind the Jiao Snake Gang as well. Did the families from other towns in the Tianmu Territory get involved?"
Captain Mu said: "There are indeed people behind the Jiaoshe Gang, but the people who came to rescue him are not necessarily the people behind him. In fact, I also learned this from Lord Zhou. Behind the Jiaoshe Gang is the Yiqi Society, one of the eight gangs. I heard that the Yiqi Society has left some small gangs as secret agents in many cities. Some have been destroyed, and some still exist.
These gangs naturally don't necessarily do anything clean, so the Yi Qi Society will not make the relationships between them public unless necessary. This is what Lord Zhou learned from the confidential information of the Yin Mo Group. You should not make this public, or you may get into trouble.
However, the person who came to rescue Yun Tianqing at that time should not be from the Yiqi Society. After all, we acted suddenly at that time, and it is impossible for the Yiqi Society to rescue so quickly. It may be someone who knows Yun Tianqing. "
Lin Mo just listened to it as gossip at first, but when he knew that the Yiqi Society was behind the Jiaoshe Gang, his brain started to work quickly. He couldn't help but think: If my letter was received by the Yiqi Society, then the Yiqi Society would definitely send someone to come, at least Li Hu's uncle would definitely come to take a look, and after he arrived in Jinyang City, he would naturally look for the secret agents left by the Yiqi Society. So now he knows that I was the one who killed Li Hu.
I did it very cleanly at that time, and I have no grudges with the bandits, so there is nothing to be suspicious about. When his uncle learned that Li Hu was dead, the first suspect should be the Hu family. It's just that whether this matter should be told to Uncle Mu, this matter may still need Uncle Mu's help.
So he said to Captain Mu, "Uncle Mu, I have something to tell you, but I'd like to trouble you to keep it a secret."
Captain Mu smiled and said, "Do you think I am such a big mouth? Don't worry, I am the only one who knows about this matter."
Lin Mo told Captain Mu about how, after he first learned martial arts, he wanted to get rid of harm for the people, so he wiped out the stronghold on Jinyang Mountain. He also told Captain Mu the identity of the stronghold leader Li Hu and that he had sent Li Hu's letter. Of course, the whole thing was slightly literary. He couldn't say that he found some people to kill because he had to kill people as part of a system mission.
After hearing this, Captain Mu became more serious. He thought for a while and said, "This matter can indeed be used. You handled it very cleanly. No one else should know about it except you and me. Since Li Hu's uncle has a grudge against the Hu family, he can use this matter to his advantage. Recently, Lord Zhou also wanted to get rid of the Hu family, but he never had a suitable reason. After all, the Hu family is too clean."
Lin Mo naturally knew what this phrase meant by "too clean". The Dihu Society had done all the dirty work. After thinking for a while, he said, "If Uncle Mu needs evidence, the ordinary people in the Hu family may not have it, but the second young master of the Hu family, Hu Yi, must have some clues. After all, Hu Yi should be very clear about the relationship between the Hu family and the Dihu Society. When the time comes, I will take the opportunity to look for these clues during the trip to the underground palace."
Captain Mu nodded and said, "This is the only way we can do now. As long as the Hu family gets a little chaotic, Li Hu's uncle, who has been hiding on the side, will take the opportunity to take action. You and I just need to know this. Even if the Hu family gets into chaos, I cannot intervene as an official. You should understand that the court must ensure that the matter is resolved and order is maintained. This is the most important thing."
Lin Mo also knew about this kind of thing. After all, within one dynasty, there were so many martial arts forces and various families intertwined. If the dynasty wanted to weaken these forces, it could not do it too much or too obviously, otherwise it would be jointly resisted, which would only cause a lot of civil unrest. After all, there are four major dynasties in the world now, and the forces of all parties are in a strange balance. It depends on who breaks this balance first.
At the top of Jinyang Mountain, Lin Mo and Captain Mu arrived at the place where Erhu Village was destroyed. It was now covered in dust and new trees were growing. It would not be long before all traces of the previous village would be completely wiped out. It was because this world had abundant vitality that the plants grew particularly fast and the environment's self-regulating ability was much stronger.
When the two were thirty steps away from each other, Captain Mu said, "Just attack now. I will use my strength that is about the level of Perfect Marrow Refining. After all, the people you will meet in the underground palace will be people of this level."
Lin Mo nodded without saying a word, and slowly pulled out the bloody knife in his hand.
He ran quickly towards the direction of Captain Mu, who saw him and nodded, thinking to himself: The speed is not bad.
At this time, Lin Mo slashed at the neck of Captain Mu without mercy. Captain Mu stepped back slightly to dodge the move. After all, his strength had reached the acquired realm, and his eyesight and reaction had greatly improved. Even if he used the strength of perfect marrow refining, in terms of defense, he was much stronger than some people who were at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training.
Lin Mo activated the Nine-Turn Movement Technique and began to attack Captain Mu's vital parts from all directions, but Captain Mu dodged them easily. Lin Mo knew that simply using ordinary swordsmanship would have no effect.
So he started to use the Blood Killing Sword Technique, and the blood knife in his hand began to get redder and redder. The Blood Killing Sword Technique was originally used to kill people, and the attack suddenly became much more fierce. Streaks of blood appeared. Captain Mu was no longer as calm as he was at the beginning, so he picked up the official sword inserted in the scabbard and began to block one by one. The gap in strength was still obvious. The Blood Killing Sword Technique was broken one by one .
Seeing this, Lin Mo became furious and cut the palm of his left hand. Immediately some blood flowed out. He used the Blood Killing Sword Technique in his hand again, and the blood began to gradually turn into mist. This was the most powerful move of the Blood Killing Sword that Lin Mo could currently use, a sea of blood all over the sky!
Suddenly, under the cover of the fog, a fierce and tricky crimson knife light attacked Captain Mu's abdomen. At this time, Captain Mu's knife had been unsheathed, and it hit the blade of the blood knife narrowly. Since Captain Mu could only use the power of the perfect marrow refining skill, he was in a moment of stalemate with Lin Mo's blood knife.
At this time, Lin Mo's attack was far from over. With his left hand, he used the Phantom Yin Finger that he had just learned, and pointed both fingers at Mu's throat. A sinister internal force emerged, and Mu hurriedly stretched out his left hand to block the attack that was going straight for his throat. However, Mu greatly underestimated how tricky this sinister internal force was. Although Lin Mo had just learned it, because the internal force in his body was converted too smoothly, this move was quite powerful.
The head of the wooden police retreated several steps by the blow, and after a few breaths, he forced out the sinister finger force in his body, and said: "This move is good, sinister, cruel, and poisonous. I used the internal force of the third level of Qi training to force out this finger force. If you don't have a stronger move, then our fight will end here. With your current strength, it's not bad compared to the average marrow refining perfect, but it's still far behind the disciples of the big forces."
Lin Mo nodded after hearing this, and used the Blood Killing Knife again, but this time the Blood Killing Knife was supplemented with the Blood Killing Knife Technique of Zhenhai Jin in his body. The original Blood Knife had turned purple. Under Lin Mo's continuous attack, multiple purple knife auras also emerged and began to attack Mu Butou from various angles. Mu Butou shouted, "Very good, I didn't expect that you have already mastered Zhenhai Tianshan Gong. Then I will also use Zhenhai Tianshan Gong to fight you now."
Captain Mu's long sword also emitted a blue sword energy. In the collision of the sword energies, Lin Mo's offensive was gradually broken, and the Blood Killing Sword's stamina was also slightly insufficient. After all, this was a move that emphasized killing the opponent quickly.
Lin Mo closed his eyes, and an invincible aura rose up. Sword energy continued to overflow from the surroundings, slowly suppressing and then annihilating the blue sword energy of Mu Constable. Mu Constable's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he did not disturb Lin Mo's buildup of momentum. On the contrary, he raised his official sword with both hands, and the Zhenhai power was attached to the sword. The official sword turned light blue, and Mu Constable made a blocking gesture.
Lin Mo's momentum was increased this time, and he was more skilled in it. He also added the murderous intent of the Blood Killing Sword Technique to the original sword. At this time, Captain Mu felt a little heavy-hearted. When he used this move at the first level of Qi training, he could not resist or dodge it. Even a trace of murderous intent slowly passed through his neck. He would die, really die. So Captain Mu also increased his own strength to the fifth level of Qi training.
Lin Mo had already gathered his strength. The surroundings were changing rapidly. The chaotic sword energy that was flying everywhere slowly gathered in the purple blood sword in Lin Mo's hands. A stronger and deeper sword energy slowly emerged. Lin Mo used eight points of his internal strength to swing the sword this time. The purple sword energy submerged the mountain village that had turned into dust like a huge wave, and the official sword raised by Captain Mu stood still like a rock in the center of the wave.
Finally, after the official sword turned into pieces, Captain Mu finally blocked the attack, but at the same time, the newly grown trees around him disappeared in the roar of the huge waves. Captain Mu was stunned and looked at the handle of the sword in his hand.
At this moment, a pair of fingers appeared at his throat, and Mu's face twitched slightly. Lin Mo also put down his left hand and began to take pills to restore his internal strength. The move just now was also thought of after the fight with Liu Emei. He used the knife's momentum to move quickly towards the enemy, and then used the Phantom Yin Finger to launch the last move.
Now it seems that this move was still very successful. After all, it was too unexpected. This was also the reason why Lin Mo only used 80% of his strength to cut out the knife with the force of the sword. In short, Lin Mo won this battle. Even if it was a sparring match, no matter how careless Mu Captain was, he lost. So now Mu Captain's face was particularly ugly, and he was still in a daze, holding the remaining handle of the knife in his hand.
