Chapter 4: The Powerful “Cripple”
The shop assistant who was crushed under the table painfully shouted, “Mo Yu Shixiong! 1 Quick! Save me!”
Mo Yu couldn’t afford to waste time finding out who the culprit was, after all, saving the shop assistant was more important. He urgently stepped forward, lifting the front desk and pulling out the shop assistant.
“Shixiong, h—he wanted to kill me!” After the shop assistant was freed, he opened his bloodied mouth and did everything he could to gravely accuse a certain somebody of his actions. In fact, if Qin Yu really did want to kill him, he would’ve died a long time ago.
Mo Yu turned toward the doorway. When he saw Qin Yu standing there indifferently, the fierce expression on his tanned face couldn’t help but fall. “You…Qin Yu? How is this possible…?” He almost couldn’t believe what he saw was real. Wasn’t Qin Yu a cripple? How could he beat up the shop assistant to such an extent? In any case, the shop assistant was also a cultivator at the initial stage of Origin Realm, yet he still couldn’t defeat a cripple?
“Last year, your master had promised to give this young master a personally forged weapon. Now, I’ve come to pick up that weapon. However, I didn’t expect that not only did he not give it, he had even spoken words to humiliate this young master. This type of person is lacking in discipline and as such, this young master disciplined him in your place.”
Qin Yu’s words undoubtedly poured another bowl of oil over Mo Yu’s raging hot anger, causing his fury to reignite. The earlier bout of confusion completely disappeared from his mind.
“Shut up! You are not worthy enough to discipline any of Tie Shou Craftsman Shop’s people!” Mo Yu shouted furiously. “A cripple like you must be courting death by coming here to cause trouble. Now, even if I kill you, the Qin Family wouldn’t dare to stand up for you.”
Qin Yu’s face was filled with disdain. “Kill me? Are you even my match?”
Mo Yu was so angry that he started to laugh. “Haha! You are too arrogant. I really don’t understand what qualifications a cripple like you has for you to run around here so rampantly.”
Qin Yu could instantly determine the man’s cultivation at a glance. “I also don’t understand how you—an insignificant Origin Realm Middle Stage cultivator with the talent of a cripple—can call other people cripples.” A 30-year-old man who was only at the middle stage of Origin Realm was truly very weak. This was a common weakness between all Tool Refiners due to all their energy being spent on tool refining instead of cultivation.
“An Origin Realm Middle Stage cultivator fighting against a cripple is still enough to kill you.” Mo Yu laid down the person in his arms and his aura suddenly expanded as overflowing killing intent erupted from his eyes. In the next moment, his fist struck forward with raging fury, blowing forth a fierce wind.
“Cloudtrack Phantom!” Qin Yu’s figure flickered, disappearing from his original spot as he turned into a phantom. This was the body movement skill he had been practicing last night and although it still wasn’t complete, it was enough to deal with a trifling Origin Realm Middle Stage cultivator.
A shout rang out as Mo Yu launched himself fiercely towards Qin Yu, his fist striking out only to make a light sound as his punch met with air.
Mo Yu was completely stunned. “Eh? Where is he?”
The shop assistant shouted from behind him, “Shixiong, he’s behind you!”
Mo Yu turned his head in shock only to see an enlarged fist right in front of his eyes.
“No—!” Mo Yu fell back, screaming loudly in fear. “
*Boom* The sound echoed as the wind caused by the fist swept across, scraping against Mo Yu’s face, causing him to scream in fear once more.
Luckily, when Mo Yu stood up, he discovered that he was completely unharmed.
“That was close.” Mo Yu released a sigh of relief, but before he even got a chance to calm down from the scare, another surprise came.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
A series of rushing footsteps echoed as a man’s figure violently surged forward in his direction. The man’s speed was very fast and he essentially had no time to evade him. He could only look on as the figure crashed against his body.
*Ka’cha* A noise rang out as the man’s figure urgently stopped himself from falling back anymore. He luckily stopped just as he was about to hit him. Mo Yu’s entire back was soaked in sweat as he realized it was only a false alarm.
“Master, it’s you?” Mo Yu discovered that it was actually a man he couldn’t be anymore familiar with. It was his Master, Luosang City’s outstanding and famous Master Tie Shou.
Mo Yu finally understood why he was actually left unharmed just now. It was all because of Tie Shou who had taken Qin Yu’s frightening attack for him.
He knew how strong Tie Shou was, after all, he was a cultivator at the beginning stage of Immersion Realm for many years, yet he was still unexpectedly pushed back all the way by Qin Yu. From this, it could clearly be seen just how terrifying Qin Yu’s strength was.
Qin Yu wasn’t a cripple? How could this be? Just how?
In fact, Qin Yu was also not having an easy time. He was directly sent flying straight into the wall behind him by the explosion. A burst of warm blood surged up inside him as traces of blood flowed from his lips.
Which expert is this?
He raised his head, astonished. His gaze landed on a short haired, square-jawed, and short-bearded old man. The old man was wearing a black Tool Refiner’s robe with three stars pinned on his chest, indicating his level as a third level Tool Refiner.
There was only one third level Tool Refiner in Luosang City and that was Tie Shou, Tie Shou Craftsman Shop’s founder. The former Qin Yu had fortunately seen many faces and the two were also acquainted.
Shock filled Tie Shou’s face as he stared at Qin Yu who was standing up across from him, his face frozen as disbelief and astonishment radiated from his eyes.
Wasn’t it said that Qin Yu got crippled by others? All twelve meridians were completely ruined and nobody in the entire Ancient Wu Continent could save him. He could only be a cripple for a lifetime. How could he be so strong now? And have such terrifying strength too?
An Origin Realm level cultivator had actually forced him, an Immersion Realm expert to retreat back so many steps while only suffering some minor injuries himself.
