As Mo Yu's gaze swept over the emblems of the mercenaries opposite him, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. "The Wolf Head Mercenary Group? Are they here to throw their lives away again?"
The reason he had let Mu Li go earlier, allowing the Little Doctor Fairy to spare him, was mainly because he didn't even consider the Wolf Head Mercenary Group a threat. Their leader was merely a two-star Dou Shi, and the rest were like chickens and dogs—easily dealt with. He hadn't expected them to send more people after him. Greed truly blinds people.
"You're Mo Yu? Hand over what you obtained from the cave, and I'll spare your life!"
In the brief moment their weapons had clashed earlier, Gan Mu vaguely sensed that the boy in front of him wasn't as simple as he appeared. His initial thought of killing him outright wavered, but he was determined to retrieve the treasures from the stone cave, no matter what.
"That's right, it's me," Mo Yu said, his hand caressing the long spear as he played with it. "If you want the items I got from the stone cave, it's not impossible."
Gan Mu's eyes lit up at his words, and he quickly said, "As long as you hand over the items willingly, I can recommend you to become the fourth commander of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group."
"Fourth commander? No need. If you can survive my spear, I'll give you my life," Mo Yu said coldly.
"You little brat, how dare you mess with me!"
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Gan Mu immediately realized he was being toyed with.
"You think you're something just because you have a bit of talent, huh? Today, I'll show you what your Grandpa Gan is made of!"
With a shout, Gan Mu squeezed his legs, and the one-horned horse beneath him understood its master's intent. It let out a fierce cry, and with a rumble of hooves, man and horse charged straight toward Mo Yu with overwhelming momentum.
Seeing the man and horse charge at him with such force, Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged. Dou Qi circulated through his body in a specific pattern, and then, with a sudden stomp of his foot, he vanished from the mercenaries' sight.
"Instant Flash!"
In the next moment, Mo Yu appeared above Gan Mu's head.
"Second commander, watch out!" one of the mercenaries shouted in alarm.
Before Gan Mu could react, a figure appeared atop the horse's head. Mo Yu twisted his body mid-air and delivered a fierce kick to Gan Mu's chin. Instantly, Gan Mu's body flew through the air in an arc, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Ugh!" Gan Mu spat out a mouthful of blood, struggling to get up, only for Mo Yu's foot to press down on his chest.
The entire exchange happened in a flash.
Watching Gan Mu, who had suddenly become a defeated mess under Mo Yu's foot, the mercenaries couldn't believe their eyes. It was as if they had witnessed something impossible.
"Cough, cough..." Violent coughs, mixed with blood, spilled from Gan Mu's mouth. He glared up at the young man standing over him with a twisted expression.
"Kill him!"
With a furious shout, his remaining subordinates, their faces twisted with rage, drew their weapons and charged at Mo Yu.
At the same time, green Dou Qi surged from Gan Mu's body. His fists, turning a deadwood-like color, clenched tightly as he roared and swung them toward Mo Yu's legs.
"Swift Flash!"
In Mo Yu's mind, a light command echoed, and white energy surged from his foot as he stomped down hard on Gan Mu's chest, sending himself shooting toward the charging mercenaries.
"Boom!"
The explosion of energy from the Swift Flash caused a blast of force on Gan Mu's chest, making him cough up another mouthful of blood.
Staggering to his feet, pale-faced, Gan Mu gritted his teeth and raised his iron rod, charging at Mo Yu.
In just two or three moves, Mo Yu effortlessly dispatched the mercenaries, all of whom were around the strength of five-star Dou Zhe, before slowly turning to face Gan Mu, who was now enveloped in faint green Dou Qi as he charged forward with ferocity.
Gripping the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear in his right hand, Mo Yu paused briefly, then stomped the ground again. With a resounding boom, he shot forward like a bullet.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Gan Mu. His spear tightened in his hand, and with a fierce surge of Dou Qi, he slashed downward at Gan Mu with unstoppable force.
The sharp wind generated by the spear's momentum made Gan Mu's already pale face even more ghastly. In a panic, he gripped his iron rod tightly, Dou Qi flooding his body as he prepared to meet the strike head-on.
"Clang!"
The crisp sound of steel clashing echoed through the forest.
The moment the iron rod touched the long spear, the tremendous force behind the blow made Gan Mu's body sink, his feet driven deep into the ground.
"Crack..."
The next moment, cracks began to appear in the iron rod made of fine steel. Within seconds, the cracks expanded rapidly, and with a crisp sound, the rod snapped in half.
Seeing his weapon broken by Mo Yu's sheer power, Gan Mu's face filled with terror, and he frantically retreated.
"Bang!"
The Divine Might Black Thunder Spear, having snapped the iron rod, continued its fierce descent, piercing Gan Mu's chest with tremendous force.
"Ugh!" Another mouthful of blood spurted from Gan Mu's mouth. His already pale face turned even whiter, and his body rolled across the ground like a rag doll, coming to a stop after smashing through two or three trees. He looked utterly wretched.
"Damn brat! Run!" Seeing how Mo Yu had easily overwhelmed him with just one spear strike, Gan Mu immediately realized that he had messed with the wrong person. This young man was definitely a scion of some powerful family in the empire.
Having come to that conclusion, Gan Mu lost all desire to continue fighting. His body bent at an unnatural angle, and with a push of his legs, he leaped onto his one-horned horse.
"Hya!"
Without a second glance at Mo Yu, Gan Mu spurred his horse and fled in panic.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's eyes flashed coldly. He tightened his grip on the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear, infused it with fierce Dou Qi, and hurled it forward.
"Boom!"
Sensing the terrifying force behind the attack, Gan Mu looked back and saw the black shadow of the spear coming at him like a thunderbolt. His face paled with fear, and he desperately urged his horse to go faster.
But no matter how fast the one-horned horse was, it could not outrun the spear.
In panic, Gan Mu raised his hand to block, but the spear suddenly accelerated, piercing his chest before he could react. His eyes bulged, and his chest caved in as blood, mixed with shattered organs, spilled from his mouth.
His body flew off the horse, crashing through several trees before finally coming to a stop.
Gan Mu, dead.
Mo Yu walked over and glanced at Gan Mu's lifeless body. "A nine-star Dou Zhe dares to chase after me? You're asking for death."
Standing over Gan Mu's body, Mo Yu coldly pulled the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear from his chest, blood splattering on the ground.
Just as Mo Yu was about to leave, his heart tightened, and his expression changed. Dou Qi surged to his feet, and he leaped away from the spot.
"Boom!"
The moment Mo Yu left, a massive black palm slammed into the ground where he had just been standing, sending debris flying and snapping the surrounding trees with its powerful shockwave.
Mo Yu's expression immediately darkened.
The person who had attacked him was at least a Da Dou Shi!
