Chapter 1446 - 1461: White Qi, Ninth Layer Realm
The pure yin qi that Hatanaka injected just now had almost completely been absorbed by Lin Mu. So at this moment, Lin Mu was no longer afraid of any human. Yes, even if the opponent were from Mars, he wouldn’t be afraid. Since they still had to fight, Lin Mu might as well play with him for a while. It was a good opportunity to test how much his inner strength had improved!
In the next second, there was a loud explosive sound as Hatanaka launched a punch at Lin Mu. Lin Mu did not dodge; instead, he raised his hand to counter Hatanaka. Behind the thick black qi was a more terrifying white mist. The two iron fists collided without surprise, producing a deafening noise!
Boom! The flicker of electrical ionization seemed to emanate from the air, and shockwaves scattered around. This scene was awe-inspiring. One could imagine how terrifying the energy field generated by the collision of their inner strength was!
In the next second, Hatanaka spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying backward.
But Lin Mu, under the protection of two masses of black and white qi, only took a few steps back before stopping steadily.
"Ugh..." Hatanaka collapsed on the ground, clutching his chest and coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Hmm, not bad, quite a lot of progress!" Lin Mu moved his body, realizing that after his pure yang qi had merged with the opponent’s pure yin qi, his inner strength had become incredibly profound. This made Lin Mu very satisfied, immensely delighted. Even the first master of Japanese ninjas, the Blood Shadow Demon Saber Hatanaka Tairou, could not withstand his fatal strike!
Of course, Hatanaka had already exhausted most of his inner strength. But even in such circumstances, Lin Mu was still very satisfied with knocking Hatanaka down with a single punch, considering Hatanaka’s strength could be considered monstrous.
At this moment, Hatanaka’s face displayed an extremely rare look of bitterness in his lifetime. He didn’t seem to understand why Lin Mu had suddenly become so formidable and powerful, with such rapid progress in inner strength in such a short time. This was absolutely beyond anyone’s imagination, but Lin Mu had just reached such a state, making it hard for Hatanaka to comprehend.
Oh heavens, could it be that destiny was determined to destroy him, Hatanaka? Damn, why on earth was this happening?
"You... why did your power increase so rapidly? What exactly is the reason?" Hatanaka yelled at Lin Mu, filled with surprise and despair, a scene that made Lin Mu feel it was the first time Hatanaka had such an unsettled emotion.
Lin Mu grinned. After all, it was Hatanaka who had helped him achieve this, so it was only right to thank him properly to do him justice!
"Haha, isn’t it all thanks to your care? To be honest, it’s because your ultimate yin qi was attracted by the pure yang qi within me! That’s why I’m invincible!" Lin Mu unabashedly boasted, as there was no need to conceal anything anymore. He had already won, after all.
Hearing this, a furrowed Hatanaka greatly regretted it internally. Indeed, no matter who it was, they’d have the impulse to buy regret medicine, but unfortunately, such a thing doesn’t exist in this world! Sacrificing himself in vain only to fulfill the enemy!
"Damn, I’m such a fool!" Hatanaka had no choice but to heavily slap his own face with a resounding smack.
"No, that’s impossible. The inner strength I injected wasn’t that powerful. Even if it merged, it couldn’t have such massive power!" Hatanaka asked, puzzled.
With Hatanaka’s words, Lin Mu also found it unreasonable. Even if he absorbed Hatanaka’s inner strength, it shouldn’t be that exaggerated, right? At the very least, Hatanaka was a super expert with profound inner strength, like an endless abyss, invisible and untouchable. Yet, a single punch from himself had dealt him severe injury?
Inflicting a minor injury could be possible, but severely injuring him seemed too extreme. After all, Hatanaka was a very formidable master!
At this moment, Hatanaka glared bloodshot eyes at Lin Mu, "Last time we crossed paths, you were no match for me. I also know you practiced some so-called Diamond Sutra as an evil art. So, what level have you reached in cultivation now?"
"Damn, nonsense, what do you mean by evil art?" Lin Mu replied indignantly, "It’s clearly the Shaolin Internal Martial Arts! Haha, seeing you so pitying, I’ll tell you the truth. I’m at the 8th Floor, which is the Black Qi Layer!"
"Black Qi Layer?" Hatanaka muttered to himself, "In my youth, I studied in Huaxia, so I have some understanding of various Huaxia martial arts. According to my interpretation, the Black Qi Layer shouldn’t be that powerful. Moreover, I noticed your moves just now had a strong white qi in them, indicating you’ve reached the 9th Floor White Qi Layer... Haha, young people really are formidable. I never imagined that at such a young age, you’ve reached a realm that those bald-headed Shaolin monks can only look up to for a lifetime... Losing to a master of your White Qi state, it’s understandable, alas, it’s destiny..."
"Uh... White Qi Layer?" Damn, that seemed to be something that the old man back home mentioned a long time ago, a seemingly unattainable realm. Unexpectedly, Lin Mu himself has reached it today! Haha, Lin Mu was truly overjoyed, when fortune comes, nothing can stop it!
No wonder I vaguely felt that the black qi had a misty white mix just now. If I truly mastered the White Qi Realm, then I’m only one step away from that god-like peak state! Now, compared to the old man, which of us is stronger? That can only be known by continuous testing! However, with just that one punch earlier, knocking Hatanaka into confusion, I doubt the old man could reach such a realm!
"Damn, it feels so superb!" Lin Mu couldn’t help but secretly rejoice.
"You, you actually mastered the Ninth Layer of the Diamond Sutra, the White Qi Realm..." Hatanaka looked at Lin Mu, gasping for breath, his face filled with unwillingness and humiliation.
"Uh... damn, are you unhappy about me reaching the White Qi Realm?" Lin Mu cursed in dissatisfaction. But on second thought, it’s actually all thanks to Hatanaka, who helped him break through to the 9th Floor. So, I might as well spare him this time.
But in the next second, there was a sound of puking, and Hatanaka clutched his chest, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. The intense stimulus evoked another surge of old blood.
"Impossible... it’s impossible..." Hatanaka mumbled absent-mindedly. At this moment, he looked more like a mad old man, without the image of a master, and couldn’t even be considered as a normal elderly person.
Hatanaka repeatedly murmured these words. His heart was devoid of fighting spirit. Obviously, Lin Mu had already won this battle.
"Boss, how do we handle this old guy? He seems to have gone mad!" Earth Wolf stepped forward to ask, seeing the situation.
