Chapter 338 - Unfortunate Conflict

Lin Mu's slammed into the wall of the house, creating a loud noise. If the scream of the woman had not woken up the people in the house, this definitely did.

'Dammit, what happened?' Lin Mu thought as he probed the wall with his spirit sense.

There were now formations active on the wall, but they were concealed inside it. They were not fully active before and thus Lin Mu was able to use his spirit sense on them, but it seemed like the woman had activated the defensive formations.

This had blocked Lin Mu from leaving the house even when he used blink in combination with phase. Suddenly Lin M felt danger and dodged to the side.

~kling~

A blade was stuck inside the wall that Lin Mu was standing in front of before. He looked back and saw that the old man who had been sleeping had woken up and was the one who had thrown the blade at him. Meanwhile, the woman was standing behind the old man and had covered herself with the blanket.

The old man was only standing in his underwear right now, which was a scene Lin Mu did not want to see. He quickly checked the old man's cultivation and found him to be a peak qi refining realm cultivator. But when Lin Mu did this, the old man's expression changed as he felt the spirit sense.

"You dare enter the house of Lord Cai, Thief!" The old man shouted.

A second later, more people rushed in from the door of the room. Looking at their get up, Lin Mu could tell that they were the servants and guards.

Lin Mu was now stuck here due to the defensive formations. While he could use fade to leave again, he did not want to risk repeating the same thing that he did right now. And he did not want to kill the people here either, as they had done nothing.

There was no way he could explain why he was here either, as that was even more suspicious.

Looking at the old man and the others who had drawn out weapons, Lin Mu knew that he would have to fight his way out. He withdrew his short sword and got ready.

"When I get my hands on you, you will regret ever coming here!" The old man stated.

"Leave this to us, lord Cai." The servants and guards spoke.

"Haa!" one of the guards yelled as he lunged at Lin Mu, which he easily dodged.

Lin Mu had already scanned all of the people here and knew their cultivation bases. Except for the old man, all of the people here were either at the mid stage of the qi refining realm or lower. The servants were not even cultivators and were mere body refining realm commoners.

"Let me leave and no one will get injured, this was a mistake." Lin Mu said, trying out his luck.

"HA! You dare to steal from me and speak such words, do you think I'm stupid?" The old man replied.

~Sigh~

"Seems like I'll have to take the hard way today…" Lin Mu muttered to himself.

His eyes under the mask turned serious, and he moved at great speed. Lin Mu slapped away the few servants that had approached him with the flat end of his short sword and knocked them away. While this wouldn't kill them, it would crack some bones and leave some nasty bruises.

"Take this!" A guard spoke as he slashed from behind Lin Mu.

Lin Mu didn't even turn around. He extended his left hand to his back and caught the incoming sword in his fingers.

~Crack~

~Shatter~

Then exerting a bit of strength, Lin Mu broke the sword in his hand. Seeing the ease with which Lin Mu broke the sword, the guard was shocked and so was the old man named Lord Cai.

"You! Who are you?" Lord Cai questioned, "no… it can't be… did they send you to a.s.sa.s.sinate me?!"

Lin Mu was confused upon hearing the old man's words but didn't pay much attention to it as he had a few more guards coming at him.

He kicked the guard whose sword he broke and probably broke a few ribs in the process. The guard flew back and slammed into two of the guards that were coming.

~Crash~

The three guards slammed into some furniture, breaking it. Lin Mu found that he was actually feeling a bit pressured. Not because his current foes were strong or anything, but rather because he had to control his strength greatly so as to not accidentally kill them.

Lin Mu had still not gained full control over his strength after reaching the peak of the body tempering realm, and with his body's 95% cells turning into Xiantian physique cells, it was taken up by a few more notches.

Lin Mu did not even dare to use his spirit sense for the fear that it will cause more fatalities. He fought a few more guards and incapacitated them. Some had fallen unconscious while the rest were groaning in pain, unable to move.

Seeing that his servants and guards were all taken care of, the old man was infuriated.

"USELESS IMBECILES! Can't even do one thing correct…" Lord Cai said before approaching Lin Mu.

During the fight, he had taken an Axe that was hanging on the wall and was now wielding it. He ran towards Lin Mu and swung it at him.

~Clang!!!~

Lin Mu's short sword and the old man's axe collided, creating a loud noise. While the old man had exerted his full force, Lin Mu had not budged from his place one bit.

"I told you before, stop this. I'll go away peacefully," Lin Mu said again.

"You think I'm a fool to believe that!" The old man said before swinging the Axe again.

Lin Mu once again blocked it with ease and deflected it. The old man stumbled back and his back hit the bed.

~Huu…Huu…Huu~
