"Xiao Mu, what are you going to do?"

Lei Chengjun was so frightened that he shuddered, a sudden sense of unease washing over him.

"Do what?"

Lin Mu gave an indifferent smile. "You'll find out soon enough."

Lin Mu slowly walked toward Wei San.

Wei San had long since been scared to the point of trembling, and at this moment, he was lying on the ground playing dead.

Sensing someone approaching, Wei San's eyes snapped open, only to see Lin Mu looking down at him with an indifferent expression.

"Lin... Instructor Lin, don't kill me! Don't kill me! I really didn't know you were an instructor; I wouldn't have dared even if I had ten times the courage."

Wei San shrieked in terror, frantically shaking his head. "It was all Lei Chengjun and the Su Clan Head! They're the ones who sent me to deal with you. It has nothing to do with me!"

"Don't worry. None of them will get away."

Lin Mu's lips twisted into a smile. "So," he said, "you can go first."

"No!"

Wei San shook his head frantically. "I'm Elder Xie's man! You can't kill me..."

"Wei San, you're fucking looking for death!"

Just then, a furious shout was heard. Xie Tuzi strode forward, his face cold with killing intent. "Mr. Lin, Wei San has offended you due to my lax supervision. I, Xie Tuzi, owe you an explanation!"

With an outstretched hand, his men immediately passed him a steel knife.

"THWACK!"

Xie Tuzi's face turned fierce. He suddenly chopped off one of his own fingers, biting back the pain as he spoke. "If Mr. Lin is still not satisfied, you can take my life as well."

Everyone else was taken aback. They hadn't expected that even this big shot from Handong Province would have to resort to such means to atone in front of Lin Mu.

Wei San was even more stunned, and a wave of utter despair washed over him.

Lin Mu gave a slight smile and flicked his finger lightly at Wei San.

"BANG!"

Wei San's head instantly exploded, and his entire body followed suit!

Those present felt a chill of horror, too frightened to speak. It was too terrifying.

With a single flick of a finger, he had blown a man apart!

It was horrifying!

Giving Xie Tuzi an indifferent glance, Lin Mu turned to look at Wei San's underlings.

"Ah, run for it!"

Wei San's lackeys, long since scared out of their wits, turned to flee.

"Trying to leave?"

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Mu's eyes. He immediately unleashed an astonishing aura. This aura swept out like a shockwave, engulfing the area.

The fleeing thugs froze, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. They found themselves completely paralyzed, and terror flooded their faces.

Then, their bodies began to rapidly disappear—first their hands, then their heads.

In the space of a single breath, all the thugs vanished into thin air.

Silence. A deathly stillness descended.

Seconds later, an outcry erupted from the crowd, their faces etched with intense shock.

"Hiss!" Guan Xinhe couldn't help but gasp, thinking his eyes were deceiving him.

Is this the power of a Grandmaster? To kill without a trace, to eradicate enemies in the blink of an eye!

Unbelievable... simply unbelievable!

Guan Xinhe knew Lin Mu was strong, but he had never imagined he would be this powerful!

The others were even more stunned, their minds buzzing in disbelief.

The scene was too horrific. That had been dozens of men. Even if it were dozens of pigs lined up for slaughter, it would have taken half a day, right?

Yet, in the blink of an eye, they were gone.

This Lin Mu's methods were terrifying! So cruel!

Ignoring everyone else, Lin Mu turned his head to look at Lei Chengjun.

"Lin Mu, what are you going to do?"

Lei Chengjun took a step back in fright, his fat face instantly turning deathly pale.

"As if you don't know!" Lin Mu snorted, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. In that instant, Lei Chengjun exploded like a volatile bomb.

"No!"

Su Yumei collapsed to the ground, her face stricken with terror as her body trembled uncontrollably.

Fear consumed Su Qing and the others, their limbs turning to ice.

Lin Mu had even killed Lei Chengjun! He actually dared to!

"He got what he deserved! Good riddance!"

Someone suddenly shouted, their voice filled with glee.

It was Xu Yao.

Seeing everyone's gaze turn to her, Xu Yao timidly hid behind Su Xiaomei but still said in a strained voice, "He just tried to shoot Brother Mu! He wanted to kill him, so he got what he deserved."

"Xu Yao, you little bitch, shut your mouth!"

As if provoked, Su Yumei scrambled to her feet and charged toward Xu Yao.

"I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

Su Yumei had only taken a few steps when a cold snort sounded out, followed by a slight tremor of the ground.

"Ah!"

With a shrill scream, Su Yumei's knees burst, and she collapsed violently to the ground.

"You should be grateful your surname is Su, which is why I'm not killing you," Lin Mu said coldly. "But you insulted my mother. That is a price you need to pay."

Seeing Su Yumei crippled, a cold dread filled everyone's hearts. This Lin Mu is truly vengeful.

With her husband dead, her son a cripple, and now crippled herself, Su Yumei might as well be dead. But no one sympathized with her. Su Yumei had brought this fate entirely upon herself.

"Mom, let's go," Lin Mu said, taking Mother Lin's hand, ready to leave.

"Xiao Mu, your grandfather..." Su Rou had intended to leave, but her heart ached at the sight of Old Master Su's spirit tablet.

"I'll take care of Grandfather's funeral." Lin Mu nodded, then looked toward County Chief Lu.

County Chief Lu shivered and hurriedly said, "Instructor Lin, rest assured. I will personally select a site with good feng shui for the old master and see to it that he receives a grand burial."

"You have my thanks."

Lin Mu nodded, then turned to Su Qing and the others. "You don't have any objections, do you?"

The members of the Su Family all shook their heads. How could they dare object? Lin Mu had killed so many people in public. He was like the Demon King incarnate—who would dare to oppose him?

Watching Lin Mu leave, a bleak gloom settled over the entire Su Family. Old Master Su's funeral had turned into a funeral for so many others.

As soon as Lin Mu left, Guan Xinhe gestured with his hand, and Jia Jianguo immediately led his men to carry Old Master Su's spirit tablet away to prepare for the grand burial.

"Second Sister, tomorrow is Dad's burial day. Since you have nowhere to go, why don't you stay at my place for the night?" Su Xiaomei called out, rushing to take Su Rou's arm.

Xu Yao hid behind her, constantly stealing glances at Lin Mu, her eyes filled with tiny stars. Brother Mu is so handsome!

Lin Mu nodded and said, "Mom, let's rest at Second Aunt's house tonight. Tomorrow, I'll go with you to pay our respects to Grandfather."

"Okay."

Su Rou nodded, wiping a tear from her eye.

"Yay! Brother Mu is so powerful!"

Xu Yao jumped for joy.

The group headed to Su Xiaomei's house. They had a simple, plain meal, but when he saw his mother gradually begin to smile, comforted by his second aunt and cousin Xu Yao, Lin Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Early the next morning, Jia Jianguo came to inform Lin Mu that everything was ready and the burial ceremony was about to begin. Lin Mu and his party rushed out the door.

In the largest cemetery in Wufeng County, Su Rou and Su Xiaomei knelt before Old Master Su's tombstone, weeping inconsolably. It was a long time before their tears subsided.

Guan Xinhe lit a stick of incense and came to stand behind Lin Mu. "Instructor Lin, you'll need to report to the Southeast Military Academy in one month."

Lin Mu nodded.

Guan Xinhe suddenly added, "Instructor Lin, people from the Eight Extremes Gate have been seen in Jiangling recently. They seem to be looking for you, so you should be prepared."

"Eight Extremes Gate?"

Lin Mu's eyebrows raised. He remembered Chang Wei and the Wang Family, and a cold glint flickered in his eyes.

After waiting for so long, they've finally come! Since they're seeking death, I'll be happy to oblige them!
