Dual Cultivation In Martial Peak

Chapter 54- Setting An Example

"Are you Su Mu, the one who knocked out our people?" The one standing in front of the group, Bai Yun Feng, asked, closing the folding fan in his hands while looking at Su Mu, and from the looks of it, his behaviour couldn't get any more haughty, as the disgust within his voice was apparent.

"If you mean the trash that was gathered outside my house, then yes, I was in a good mood so I didn't directly kill them." Su Mu nodded, and he smiled. "There is no need for you to thank me for sparing their lives."

In all honesty, Su Mu wanted to end this farce as soon as possible, but even then, he couldn't be unreasonable enough to attack the three idiots in front of him without a reason.

Su Mu was never the type to talk nonsense with people, unlike most cultivators, who would go on and on for hours while discussing pointless things, only to fight at the very end, other than when the one in the discussion was a beautiful woman, or when Su Mu wished to avoid a fight completely because not all fights are worth fighting.

But that wasn't the case, so there was no reason for him to extend this conversation for too long, as he was sure that these three Young Masters would fume into a rage with some mere words.

Even if Su Mu were to fight all three Young Masters at the same time, they'd only last for a few seconds if he was being generous, after all, their cultivation wasn't all that high.

Dong Qing Han and Fan Hong were in the 2nd Stage True Element Realm, while Bai Yun Feng was a 1st Stage True Element Realm Cultivator.

And even though Bai Yun Feng's cultivation was the weakest, he was the one leading the three of them, as the Bai Family was the only 1st Class Family present at the High Heaven Pavilion, with the Dong Family and Purple Fern Valley only being 2nd Class Influences.

Since dealing with them would be as easy, Su Mu glanced at the six guards accompanying these three.

From the looks of it, each of them was appointed two guards from their family and Sect.

Well, it made sense considering they were the Young Masters of their respective forces, so having guards accompany them was the bare minimum.

'Hmmm. All of those guards are in the 3rd Stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm, except for one that is in the 4th Stage, huh?'

After his promotion to the 1st Stage of the True Element Realm, Su Mu's combat power was comparable to that of a 7th Stage Immortal Ascension, 8th if he were to fight seriously, with his Divine Soul being strong enough to rival a 4th Stage Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivator.

All in all, Su Mu would have no difficulty even if he were to take on all of these Young Masters, along with their guards, at the same time, as that would only make the battle last for a few more minutes.

"You..." Bai Yun Feng's face turned ugly at Su Mu's nonchalant and disrespectful tone.

Dong Qing Han and Fan Hong were in a similar situation, and they frowned after hearing Su Mu's words.

Not only were they the ones who came to greet them, but not only did Su Mu knock their subordinates out, but he also dared to disrespect them in their faces, referring to their subordinates as trash.

But even after all that, they still needed the Martial Skill that Su Mu had used within the Heaven's Cave Inheritance, so they held their anger inside, at least until they get the Martial Skill from him.

After that, who cares about what happened to a random disciple from a small Sect like the High Heaven Pavilion, and even if someone cared, who'd be brave enough to pin the blame on them?

"I heard that the three of you were looking for me while I was away, so, what can I do for you?" Su Mu asked with a polite smile, which, for some reason, annoyed all three Young Masters, but they still complied.

"Brother Su, we would like to buy the Martial Skill that you obtained within Heaven's Cave Inheritance." Dong Qing Han answered.

"And what makes you believe that I'm willing to sell that Martial Skill?" Su Mu replied without any delay, and as he spoke, the three Young Masters kept getting angrier.

"You lowly..."

{These guys... They're all idiots, aren't they?} Su Yan's voice rang inside Su Mu's head, and the latter ignored the three Young Masters, focusing on Su Yan's voice.

Su Yan knew about what these three Young Masters had in mind, and she couldn't help but wonder how they planned on robbing someone who dealt with a Monster Beast comparable to an Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivator in a single strike.

Not to mention, that incident happened a while ago, and Su Mu was stronger than he was back then.

Were they that confident in their background, making them believe that they were invincible in a small Sect like the High Heaven Pavilion?

{It's most likely that they believe my so-called Martial Skill isn't something that I can use without preparation, and honestly, that's a logical answer on their part because they have no idea what Sword Qi is.} Su Mu explained, making Su Yan sigh.

{If those Immortal Ascension Realm guards interfere, I'll help you.} Su Yan declared.

If it was to help Su Mu, Su Yan wouldn't mind exposing her true cultivation, even if it were to cause her trouble later on.

{If you think that is necessary, then I won't stop you.} Su Mu replied, laughing out loud.

"You... What are you laughing at?" Fan Hong noticed how Su Mu was laughing while looking at them, indicating that he was mocking them, causing him to turn red in anger.

"Of course, I am laughing at the three idiots standing in front of me." Su Mu replied as if he was stating a fact, and Fan Hong started releasing a bit of killing intent, similar to Dong Qing Han and Bai Yun Feng.

But before the situation could escalate any further, the High Heaven Disciple who has been following Bai Yun Feng stepped forward, walking up to Su Mu.

"Young Master Su, it'll be in your best interest to comply with what Young Master Bai is saying. Please think about your well-being, along with the High Heaven Pavilion's."

"You are?" Su Mu asked, looking at the High Heaven with uninterested eyes.

"My name is Cao Zheng Wen."

"From the looks of it, you plan on leaving the High Heaven Pavilion and joining the Bai family as Bai Yun Feng's servant, right?" Su Mu asked, watching as Cao Zheng Wen's face twitched at how tactless Su Mu was acting, but he still nodded.

"Yes, I was lucky enough to be selected by Young Master Bai to join-"

Before Cao Zheng Wen could continue, Su Mu interrupted.

"Since you're no longer a Disciple of the High Heaven Pavilion, but someone from the Bai Family, there is no need for me to show you any face, similar to your Young Master Bai." Su Mu said, placing his hand on Cao Zheng Wen's head.

"Young Master Su, what are-" Cao Zheng Wen's words were again interrupted, and he couldn't finish what he was about to say.

"You Bastard!" At the blatant disrespect of both his servant and his family, Bai Yun Feng couldn't hold his anger any longer, and he shouted.

But before Bai Yun Feng could do anything...

Boom!*

With a loud explosion, Cao Zheng Wen's face was buried in the ground, blood spilling out from his head as his body turned limp.

"Next time, remember that dogs are not supposed to bark unless the owner tells them to."

As if nothing had happened, Su Mu turned towards Bai Yun Feng with a smile, completely ignoring the latter's hostile look.

"You damn brat... Don't think too highly of yourself just because you have something that this Young Master wants." Bai Yun Feng could no longer hold his anger, but after a few seconds, he stopped himself from attacking Su Mu, and he continued. "Unless you hand over the Martial Skill, you'll never leave this place again."

Since Su Mu had no intent to compromise from the very beginning, Bai Yun Feng decided to directly rob him of his Martial Skill by threatening him. A no-name High Heaven Pavilion disciple was comparable to dirt in his eyes.

Even if Su Mu's cultivation was at the same Stage as Bai Yun Feng, the 1st Stage of True Element Realm, the latter was sure that he was stronger than Su Mu simply based on his foundation, without even considering the Artifacts he had on him.

"You really believe you can defeat me?" Su Mu chuckled lightly, stepping forward. "In all honesty, it'd be a waste of my time to fight each one of you, so how about this, you all attack me at once, and if you can defeat me, I'll gladly hand over the Martial Skill that you desire so much."

"Brother Dong, Brother Fan, this brat is acting so disrespectful, how about I teach him a lesson?" Bai Yun Feng turned towards Dong Qing Han and Fan Hong, who had no intentions of ganging up on Su Mu.

After all, wouldn't it be embarrassing if people were to know that the three of them had to fight together against a random disciple from the High Heaven Pavilion?

With that in mind, they decided to let Bai Yun Feng deal with Su Mu, after all, Bai Yun Feng's strength was comparable to their own, even if his cultivation was a stage lower, so they doubted that Su Mu could even last a few minutes against him.

By now, hundreds of High Heaven Pavilion Disciples, along with the people who had come from the outside, have gathered around the scene, watching everything play out with interest and curiosity.

"Even if you have no intentions of attacking me together, be aware that I'll attack the three of you indiscriminately, as I'd rather not waste my time while dealing with trash." Su Mu said, annoying both Dong Qing Han and Fan Hong.

"This guy, he's delusional."

"Brother Bai, make sure to teach him a good lesson, but please refrain from killing him before he hands over the Martial Skill."

'Well, let's get this over with quick. I'm sure Mei'er and Jiao'er have already arrived at the Black Wind Mountains, and I need to meet with Old Man Meng, too.'

With those thoughts in mind, Su Mu concluded to end this farce within a few minutes, and while he was at it, he might as well set a good example.
