Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 53 - 54: Bloodless Murder

Chapter 53: Chapter 54: Bloodless Murder

Wu Manjiang died tragically.

Decapitated.

At the hour of his death, deep fear lingered in his eyes as if he had seen something utterly terrifying.

"Ugh!"

On the spot, Gu Fei vomited, expelling masses of bile.

Around them, every one of the dozen or so members of the Gu Family threw up without exception.

There had been many who died at the hands of the Gu Family, but it was the first time they had seen it right in front of them!

And this time, two died at once.

One of them had his head severed.

The body lay on the ground, the head somewhere else, with blood profusely flowing like free-running tap water.

It was disgust to the extreme.

The Gu Family, nurtured in comfort for decades, had never encountered such a scene, their stomachs churned.

Above, Gu Qinghai’s aged body trembled uncontrollably, his face pale.

That flash of blue light, he saw it clearly.

He never imagined that such a flash would take Wu Manjiang’s life!

He was aware of Wu Manjiang’s abilities.

Unhuman-like abilities. He had once witnessed Wu Manjiang demolish a house with his bare hands.

This godly ability had given Gu Qinghai immense confidence and allowed the Gu Family to thrive.

Yet, such a man had died.

Killed by the hands of an eighteen-year-old youth, his sword swift and clean, too fast for anyone to see.

Not even a drop of Wu Manjiang’s blood stained his sword.

Truly a bloodless killing!

Wu Manjiang’s body trembled, already old, he seemed to age even more, gasping heavily.

At this moment, he recalled the incident at the KTV yesterday, he, always so proud, felt immense regret.

Thinking back now, how could Yu Shilong, such a person, bring an ordinary person to form ties with them?

He wished he could slap himself.

Alas, it was too late. As the decision-maker, each of his decisions could influence the rise and fall of his family.

And this time, the Gu Family, was done for.

Yu Shilong glanced at Yu Shibo. Both experienced figures in the Martial World, they could handle such a scene.

Just like Lin Hao, without a word, they turned and left.

The Gu Family, if wise, would not appear in Binhai after today.

If not wise.

The fates of Wu Manjiang and Cheng Zihua would be theirs.

This was the first time.

Yu Shilong and Yu Shibo saw Lin Hao’s capabilities, from start to finish, his face remained undisturbed, calm as a placid lake.

Even when killing two men, he remained consistent.

As if murder was something the youth had long become accustomed to.

"Master, you were right, he... is strong," Yu Shibo, emotionally shaken, whispered, "This youth is definitely not ordinary."

"No ordinary person would act in such a manner," Yu Shilong’s expression was somewhat peculiar, Lin Hao’s sword had scared him seriously.

He was lucky he had cleverly decided not to become the young man’s enemy back then, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just the thought of Wu Manjiang’s deathly appearance made his scalp tingle.

"What if the Gu Family calls the police?" Yu Shibo asked.

"They won’t, first, the Gu Family wouldn’t dare to, second, even if they call the police, they might not have the authority to deal with Mr. Lin."

While the two spoke, they hadn’t yet left the great hall of the Gu Family, and they didn’t hide their conversation at all, every word was heard loud and clear by everyone.

Gu’s young heir stumbled and crawled to his grandfather’s feet, wailing ceaselessly, although spoiled, he knew the seriousness of the situation.

In a sense, the incident that befell the Gu Family was ultimately caused by him.

It was he who brought disaster upon the Gu Family.

The members of the Gu Family were all wailing in despair.

Outside the door, Yu Shibo respectfully ushered Yu Shilong and Lin Hao into the car, started the engine, and drove off with a stylish sweep, disappearing into the distance.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your intervention this time," said Yu Shilong. "If it weren’t for you, the outcome might have been completely opposite."

"Just a trivial effort. The Gu Family does not compare to the Yu Family," Lin Hao said with a smile on his lips.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, you flatter us. Actually, the Gu Family has been doing quite well over the years," Yu Shilong’s tone shifted,

"But Mr. Lin, the two men you killed today are said to be from a Sect, and in this Sect, there are many people like us."

"Perhaps, the authorities will not trouble you this time, but that Sect..."

Yu Shilong left his sentence hanging, but the implication was clear.

The power behind Wu Manjiang would seek revenge.

"Of course they will come," Lin Hao said as he picked up the sword in his hand. "Do you know the true name of this sword?"

"Isn’t it called the Xuanyin Sword?" Yu Shilong shook his head.

"No, its actual name is ’Ruyuan,’ not from a hundred years ago, but a treasure from over a thousand years ago."

"Furthermore, this is a Spirit Sword, not a mere ordinary blade."

"Spirit Sword?" Surprise flashed in Yu Shilong’s eyes.

If it was just an artifact from over a thousand years ago, he might accept it, but once it bears the ’spirit’ character, it signifies something different.

Although he had only recently become a Cultivator, he knew that in all of Huaxia, there were only seven known Spiritual Weapons!

Each one was in the hands of an expert.

Unexpectedly, apart from those seven Spiritual Weapons, there was another sword!

"Mr. Lin, may... may I touch it?" Yu Shilong asked excitedly.

"Sure."

Lin Hao tossed the sword to Yu Shilong, who caught it carefully and examined it closely. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became:

"The raison d’être of a Spiritual Weapon indeed. Holding it, one feels a chilly Sword Intent. If an ordinary person were to hold this sword, they might not last three months before falling ill and dying."

After expressing his amazement, Yu Shilong, hands trembling, returned the Spirit Sword to Lin Hao.

Although the Spirit Sword was splendid, he had no thought of keeping it.

Such a treasure, he was not qualified to wield.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this sword alone, if in his possession, could doom the entire Yu Family.

While driving, Yu Shibo, observing the sword through the rearview mirror, felt its formidable aura.

Even though he didn’t know what it was, he sensed it was impressive...

Lin Hao laughed and said, "Regarding Wu Manjiang and Cheng Zihua, even if it’s just for this Spirit Sword, the Mingyang Sect will come after me."

"But..."

Lin Hao said indifferently, "They won’t be able to take it back."

Mingyang Sect?

"Is the Mingyang Sect the Sect behind the Gu Family?" Yu Shilong inquired; he knew the Gu Family was backed by a Sect but didn’t know which.

Lin Hao nodded.

Yu Shilong was even more astonished; a young man of eighteen, knowing so much, his identity must be extraordinary.

"Those who harbor killing intent towards me have never survived to this day," Lin Hao said with a gentle smile. "As for this garbage Sect, even if their Sect Master were to come, he would only qualify to kneel before me."

Yu Shilong’s mouth twitched, uncertain whether to believe or not.

They drove on to Yu Shilong’s home where they had a sumptuous lunch before Lin Hao left contentedly.

Yu Shilong and Yu Shibo, however, hardly ate anything.

Although they had strong mental endurance, having just witnessed two deaths, they felt a bit nauseous.

After Lin Hao had left, Yu Shilong said, "Shibo, you’ve worked hard this time. Go and rest upon your return, heal your injuries."

"And call Jiang He to take over the Gu Family’s properties as compensation for losing Sen, and tell him to remember not to seek revenge, otherwise the Yu Family will end up worse than the Gu Family."

"Yes, Master," Yu Shibo took the order and left.
