Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 135 - 115: Courting Disaster, Catkins Chasing the Cicada

Withdrawing his gaze, Bai Yi's eyes locked onto the east wing like a venomous snake, knowing that Li Feiyu, the reckless assassin who came from Cyan Cloud, was in that small courtyard.

A ghostly figure flickered as Bai Yi moved towards the east wing.

The main door of the wing room was not closed, revealing a figure inside wielding a pen; this person was none other than Li Feiyu.

The cold wind howled outside, causing the window lattice to clatter noisily.

A dark shadow approached the person writing inside the study without them noticing, while outside, Bai Yi peered through the gaps in the window lattice, sneering incessantly behind his grotesque human skin mask.

The world knew that Bai Yi possessed extraordinary Lightweight Skills, yet few knew his most outstanding skill was the Stealth Technique—those who truly witnessed it were mostly dead.

Tonight, Li Feiyu before him would be no exception.

"With such mediocre skills, dare you accept Grandpa Bai's Red List? Courting death!" Bai Yi was contemplating how to torment the person inside when—

A calm voice emanated from the room.

"Have you seen enough, esteemed guest?"

Whoosh!

The person inside, absorbed in writing, paused their pen, and at that very moment, the ink on the brush shot forth like an arrow released from its string.

"Not good, when did this kid notice me?!"

Bai Yi's pupils constricted, and his whole body quivered.

Bang!

The wooden window lattice instantly shattered into pieces, the ink pearls that contained Power retained their force amidst the flying wood chips. Bai Yi reacted quickly, deploying Body Technique to dodge.

Just then, Su Mu detonated the Pill Force within the ink pearls.

Boom!

The ink pearls exploded mid-air, transforming into a cloud of black mist, spilling in and out of the room. The person writing inside slightly raised the corners of their mouth, paused their pen, and gazed towards the outside.

Three zhang away, Bai Yi stared intently at the young man inside, in his early twenties, not conventionally handsome, but with eyes as deep as the stars—Li Feiyu.

"Kid... when did you discover me?"

"Esteemed guest's Lightweight Skill is not as renowned as its reputation, lacking in finesse. I was aware when you entered the courtyard."

"Ha, what a sharp-tongued fellow..." Just as Bai Yi raised his eyebrows and was about to speak further, his figure vanished like ink dissolving, merging instantly into the night. "Kid, I hope you'll remain this spirited later; don't weep and wail, begging me to speak once you're in my grasp."

His voice echoed above the courtyard, seeming to come from all directions, making it impossible to discern Bai Yi's position.

The next moment.

The sound of the cold wind carried a sudden murderous intent.

A Cold Blade seemed to appear out of thin air before Su Mu, rapidly enlarging in his eyes, yet Su Mu's face remained serene throughout. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Roar!

Amidst the roar of a Tiger, a Ten-foot Three-inch Golden Bell emerged behind Su Mu, transforming into a Furious Eyes Vajra amidst resounding bell and tiger roars.

"The Cross-Training Martial Arts of the Vajra Temple... aiming to take this blow head-on, your reaction is not bad..."

The teasing voice abruptly ceased in the next instant.

Bai Yi, almost fused with the night, had his pupils constrict suddenly. Li Feiyu slowly raised one arm, and the Furious Eyes Vajra enveloped him; golden light surged as a layer of True Gold of Hundred Refinements coated his body.

Clang!

Sparks flew, and a mere flesh-and-blood body emitted a metallic clang, one hand reaching out to grip the short blade, nearly touching his brows.

Suddenly, a great unease surfaced on Bai Yi's face, sensing that the young man before him was not simple and that he had been careless.

Thinking rapidly, Bai Yi made an instant decision, decisively abandoning the short blade to distance himself from Su Mu.

It was at this moment that Su Mu's eyes, filled with murderous intent, descended like torches.

His right arm, which held the short blade, exerted force and gripped heavily.

The short blade instantly shattered into pieces, which made Bai Yi's pupils contract even further, realizing that Li Feiyu's mastery in Cross-Training Martial Arts had reached an astonishing level.

Crack!

Su Mu's left hand, now free, suddenly reached out towards Bai Yi, fingers like five steel knives piercing the air, causing a series of explosive sounds to echo through the sky.

"Since you're here, then stay!"

Humph.

Bai Yi snorted coldly. Even the three Muscle-Enhancing Martial Artists sent by the Government Office couldn't pin him down, let alone this young boy before him.

In Bai Yi's mind, Li Feiyu had devoted himself wholeheartedly to Cross-Training as an Ascetic Monk to have cultivated the Vajra Temple's Martial Arts to such an astonishing degree at such a young age.

In the world, gains always come with losses. He had met several Cross-Training experts before, and without exception, these people were weak in other Martial Arts due to their dedication to Cross-Training, such as in Body Technique.

After all, prolonged cultivation of Cross-Training Martial Arts would cause a degree of hardening in the skin, bones, and fascia, which is a significant hindrance to cultivating Lightweight Body Technique.

For these Martial Artists, the difficulty of cultivating Lightweight Body Technique far exceeds that of ordinary Martial Artists, and in Bai Yi's eyes, Li Feiyu would be no different.

Expecting Li Feiyu to stop him tonight was nothing short of a delusion. Tonight he would retreat for now.

Bai Yi's figure suddenly seemed to dissolve, like ink merging into the night, even his breath vanished into the night wind. Su Mu's pupils slightly contracted; with his vision far beyond ordinary people, he still lost sight of Bai Yi at that moment.

"Such a remarkable Lightweight Skill... No wonder he can wreak havoc around Canghe County."

"No need to see me off, kid. I'll let you live for another day, and return tomorrow night for your life."

From the shadows, Bai Yi sneered incessantly at this scene. He decided to retreat for the time being, and once he had prepared the 'Bone-Eroding Fragrance' upon his return, he'd surely flay this kid alive.

Bai Yi's taunting voice lingered above the courtyard. Just as he turned to leave—

Su Mu closed his eyes and relaxed his shoulders, barely moving his nose as the right hand he had extended swiftly transformed from a palm to a fist in mid-air, lightning crackling through the fist's path!

Thunder Shocking the Sky!

The instant the fist was thrown, a purple lightning bolt tore through the night sky, accurately striking the corner of the wall one zhang away.

"Did I say..."

Amidst the thunder's strike in the night, a dark figure let out a horrific wail. The concealed Bai Yi had his right leg struck by the purple lightning dragon, feeling an intense pain in his muscles and tendons, as if his entire body had been struck by lightning.

"You could leave?"
