<h4>Chapter 313 - Battling The Disciples </h4>


    <i>~Stter~</i>


    Blood and brains covered the faces and bodies of the three disciples. They looked on with horror as the headless corpse of their junior brother fell to the ground. Because they were frozen due to the scene, Lin Mu took advantage of it and quickly took the Beast core from the dead man’s pocket.


    It was then that the three disciples were finally able to react and anger appeared on their faces.


    "JUNIOR BROTHER, NOO!" Shouted the Senior brother.


    The other two men got into an attacking stance and withdrew their weapons.


    "You! You dare kill a disciple of the Tri cauldron peony sect! You shall suffer for this." The Junior elder Fa Shiu dered as the waves sprite qi rolled off his body showing his mid stage core condensation realm cultivation.


    Lin Mu also quickly scanned the three disciples and discovered their cultivation. The one called as the senior brother was at the peak stage of the qi refining realm while the eldest brother was at the early stage of the core condensation realm. It was only the junior elder that was at the mid stage of the core condensation realm.


    While these disciples were stronger than Lin Mu in terms of cultivation, Lin Mu did not back down. He had confidence in himself that he could handle them and did not fear them.


    Without speaking another word, Lin Mu blinked to another location and controlled his short sword to strike at the Senior brother.


    <i>~Clink~</i>


    The Senior brother blocked it with his own sword, while the eldest brother and the junior elder ran towards Lin Mu.


    "Careful, his movement technique is strange. I haven’t seen anything like it." The junior elder spoke.

    The other two nodded, and Lin Mu blinked again disappearing from his location. He appeared at the back of the senior brother and shed with the two slim swords that appeared in his hands.


    "Gah!" The Senior brother grunted as he felt the force behind the strike.


    ’How is he this strong?’ The senior brother thought as he probed Lin Mu with his spirit sense.


    "He’s only at the peak stage of the qi refining realm?!" Senior brother muttered in shock.


    The Junior elder leaped towards Lin Mu’s back, seeing that he was involved with Senior brother. But just as his sword was about to sh Lin Mu’s back, he found it to pass through him as if it were air.


    "WHAT! HOW?" The junior elder eximed in shock.


    "You don’t need to know..." Lin Mu replied before he jumped to the side, dodging the three disciples’ attacks.


    The twin swords disappeared from Lin Mu’s hand as a battle Axe appeared in their stead. The short sword came flying and cut a wound on the Senior brother’s hand. Lin Mu shed with the Eldest brother and nearly made him lose his sword.


    "Enough!" The Junior elder spoke before gesturing with his left hand and shooting a fire ball out from it.


    Lin Mu was surprised for a moment but then quickly dodged the iing fireball. He spun around and hurled the battle Axe in his hand towards the Senior brother.


    "Quick while, he’s unarmed." Spoke the eldest brother.


    But before he could say the next sentence, he went silent and his eyes went wide.


    "Boulder copsing fist: Second form- Piercer!" Lin Mu had shot the thin needle of spirit qi into the man’s chest.


    The spirit qi needle pierced through the man’s heart, exploding it inside his chest while the needle left through his back and embedded itself into a tree, exploding its trunk as well. The splinters of the bark startled the Senior brother as he was close to it and he closed his eyes to protect from the splinters.


    "Bah!" The eldest brother spit out blood before he copsed onto the ground.


    None of the three disciples had seen what had struck the eldest brother, and they were shocked.


    "You! Who are you? There is no way someone with such skill can be a wandering cultivator. State your name!" The Junior elder Fa Shiu said feeling angry.


    "There is no need. You are the ones who sowed the enmity now you are the ones who will get the fruit." Lin Mu said before disappearing from their vision.


    He appeared behind the senior brother who had his eyes closed and stabbed the short sword through his back, instantly killing him.


    "Three down, one to go..." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he looked at the junior elder.


    The look in Lin Mu’s eyes terrified Fa Shiu, and it was unlike anything he had seen.


    "AAAAHHHH!" The junior elder shouted as he shed with Lin Mu.


    Both of them exchanged blow after blow, with no oneing out at the top. Even with Lin Mu using blink and circling around Fa Shiu, he found himself unable to find an opening.


    ’Seems like fighting a mid stage core condensation realm cultivator is still a bit too much.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.


    Lin Mu actually wanted to see how much he could keep up against with a mid stage core condensation realm cultivator just by using his weapon skills. But now that he had received his answer, he knew that he should end it quick.


    The Junior elder started using the spirit qi skill that he had used before and started throwing more of the fireballs. Lin Mu was able to dodge them but was getting annoyed by them.


    Finally, he started chanting the severing heart sutra targeting the Junior elder.


    Fa Shiu entered a daze and became still. Lin Mu used this opportunity and got close to him, but just as his sword was about to sh at his neck, Fa Shiu awakened and jumped back.


    ’That was close...’ Fa Shiu thought.


    "What did you do?" He questioned, feeling shocked.


    ’Tch, seems like using the severing heart sutra on a mid stage core condensation realm cultivator is not as effective.’ Lin Mu thought.


    He then gestured and ordered the short sword to attack the junior elder, but the man had instead started running away.


    "What!" Lin Mu muttered and then started running after the man.
