Feeling the calm in his centre, a burst of spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly came from Xu Mu's body, and he hurriedly sat down on his knees and cultivated by the roadside.
In the middle of the morning, Xu Mu slowly opened his eyes, looked at his right hand with tears and a smile, and muttered, "This is actually a breakthrough? It's truly magical!"
That's right, just now, when his mental state felt calm, the Withered Wood Rejuvenation Technique in his body, which had been on the verge of a breakthrough for a long time, actually broke through to the fifth level of qi cultivation in an instant!
When he opened his eyes, Xu Mu immediately saw that there were a number of people standing nearby pointing at him, and then he smiled unconcernedly, rolled onto his horse, and rode off into the distance.
As the saying goes, if you have a book, you're long, if you don't have a book, you're short, Xu Mu rode his horse while rushing and cultivating, and on the way, he also saw a lot of local customs and people, and also experienced a lot of dangers.
One of the most common was robbery.
There was no way, Xu Mu looked less than twenty years old, he dared to go out alone, single-handedly, the robbers did not rob him, that is not professional ethics.
Faced with these robbers, Xu Mu are lazy to use cultivation, just by virtue of the deep innate gong internal force and a pair of palms, they will be beaten into submission.First of all, because Xu Mu makes a body of internal strength completely unlike the twenty years of age should have the internal strength, ordinary people practice a hundred years, I'm afraid not so deep internal strength.
So this group of Jianghu people suspected that Xu Mu was not as young as he looked, but had already cultivated to the realm of rejuvenation.
Second, Xu Mu never used a weapon, always relying on a pair of palms against the enemy, so there is a title of "Iron Hand".
On that day, Xu Mu happened to have left the Mirror State and arrived at Baimu Mountain on the border with Yizhou, and as long as he passed through Yizhou, he would be able to reach Quzhou, the destination of his journey.
The border between the two states had always been the most chaotic place, and the places where Mirror State and Yizhou were connected were all rugged mountain ranges, adding a bit more danger.
However, it seemed that the rugged mountains could only block the government's soldiers and horses, and horse bandits and all kinds of thieves were numerous in this mountain range.
This group of green forest people even gave this mountain forest a name, called the Gathering of Righteousness Forest.That day, the mountain range steep path, suddenly more a young man's figure, only to see it wearing a black short hit, hair wrapped in the hair scarf, only hanging down a short section, looks quite spiritual.
The man's crotch rode a robust date-red horse, although walking on the steep mountain road, but it looks like walking on the ground, very godly handsome!
Suddenly, an arrow rang out from the forest, and dozens of people immediately surrounded the man, yelling and screaming, and encircled the road in front of him.
However, the man who was surrounded was not nervous at the sight, but looked at the scene in front of him with a smile.
One of the men with a gnarled beard and ringed eyes, carrying a ghost head sword, rode up on a high horse and rushed at the surrounded man, "Boy, you have some guts, what road are you on?"
The young man smiled and laughed out loud, "Haha, well said, do you know the Flying Horse General Zhang Chao, the Black Heart Demon Jiang Yu, and the Medical and Poisonous Double Jedi An Ling Dao ..."
The young man said, reported a large number of names, are mirror state green forest road loud and clear existence, bluffing the horse thieves.The gnarled man snapped back, "You know them all?"
"No!" The young man said with a slight smile, "They all died under my palm!"
"What! Could it be that you're the Iron Handed Tongshou?" The gnarled bearded man was startled by his words and asked in disbelief.
This young man was none other than Xu Mu!
"Which Iron Hand Child Sovereign?" Xu Mu was unaware that he had been given such an additional nickname at this point, and he froze when he heard this.
The gnarled bearded man also froze when he saw this, Xu Mu could name so many people, but he didn't know his own name? Could it be that this person in front of him was an impostor?
He didn't know that Xu Mu had killed too many horse thieves and bandits along the way, but he knew very few Jianghu people and didn't even know that his name had spread.
Besides, he only killed the first bad guy, and for those horse thieves, he let his little brother go so that the reputation could spread.
However, this group of juniors wouldn't dare tell Xu Mu that they had given him the title of Iron Hand Boy.
After seeing the gnarled bearded man's face change several times, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you are an Iron Hand Boy, I still don't believe in evil today! Look at the sword!"
With that, the man urged his horse forward, and the ghost head knife in his hand slashed straight at Xu Mu's body.
Seeing this, Xu Mu smiled helplessly and said, "Did you not hear what I said?"Although he said so on the surface, in reality, Xu Mu did not dare to be too big to really be slashed by the other party, only to see his innate internal gong power mobilised and a yellow mist of air instantly appeared on both his palms.
The next moment, his right hand grabbed the body of the gnarled bearded man's blade, and his left palm was sent forward, hitting the man's chest.
When the gnarled bearded man was struck by Xu Mu's palm, he felt his internal organs instantly shift, and a mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth, sending the whole man flying backwards.
Xu Mu threw the ghost head knife to the ground, gently stepped on the horse's back, and came to the ground in front of the man.
The surrounding cadre of juniors saw this and retreated, very unjustly making a large area for Xu Mu.
After all, their own Big Boss wasn't actually Xu Mu's one-two punch, and the crowd had long since been scared out of their wits by this point.
Xu Mu, on the other hand, curiously looked at the gnarled bearded man who had fallen to the ground and curiously said, "You're actually not dead?The gnarled bearded man spat out a mouthful of blood, his body already feeling a little more comfortable, and now he almost didn't let Xu Mu's words upset him enough to turn his back.
"The Iron Handed Child Sou is indeed worthy of its name, I admit defeat in your hands, I'll do as I please if I want to kill or die!"
Xu Mu sniffed at the man curiously, and then with a wave of his right hand, a piece of greyish rag suddenly flew out of the man's chest, heading straight for Xu Mu.
Looking at its position, Xu Mu's slap had been partially cancelled out by the rag.
The man froze at the sight and shouted, "Could you be an Immortal Cultivator?"
Xu Mu gave the man a curious look and said, "You know about Immortal Cultivators too?"
"Not bad, the kid knows a few." As the man spoke, his face changed several times, and he suddenly stood up from the ground, then knelt down and "dun dun dun" kowtowed to Xu Mu three times.
"What do you mean by that?" Seeing this, Xu Mu didn't care about the rags in his hands and asked curiously."I am bold enough to beg the Immortal Master to save us!" The gnarled bearded man said with crimson eyes.
