Chapter 461: Jumpscare? (1/2)

Wu Hei was shocked upon hearing the voice suddenly calling out to him. He was a hundred percent sure that there was no one near him just a second ago, but the voice was right behind him.

He tried to identify the voice, but couldn't do so. It was no one from his group of acquaintances, which meant that it was either a random stranger or more likely an enemy. Wu Hei quickly summoned his spirit sword and turned around for a battle.

His spirit sword shot towards the source of the voice and collided with it.

~DENG~

~clink~clink~clink~

But then his spirit sword was swatted away like a child's toy. His eyes went wide and he looked at the faintly glowing arm of the man in front of him. Now... he recognized him.

”You! From that restaurant…” Wu Hei muttered.

He didn't know what to be shocked about more. The fact that the man had been able to approach him without him knowing and escaping his spirit sense. Or the fact that he was able to swat a full power attack of his like it was nothing.

If it was any other core condensation realm cultivator, they would have had their arm severed or worse, their head decapitated.

”So you really were paying attention to me back at the restaurant.” Lin Mu said.

”Who are you?” Wu Hei asked as he recalled his spirit sword to his side.

”I thought you would have recognized me by now. After all, you saw me eat at the restaurant,” Lin Mu chuckled.

Wu Hei's eyes narrowed and he became apprehensive.

”I know you are not under the control of Gu Yao, so you don't need to act in front of me. It is I, Lin Mu.” He revealed.

Wu Hei's eyes went wide and he couldn't help but take another look at Lin Mu. His appearance was much different than the teen he had seen two years ago. This man was much taller and well built than him, plus his voice was also quite different.

But now that he looked closely, he couldn't help but match some of the facial features of Lin Mu to this man. The one thing that was telling him that this was likely to be was his appetite, that he had demonstrated in the restaurant. Still, he couldn't confirm just from this as there were many more people that could do the same and he could just be someone pretending to be Lin Mu.

~Sigh~

”Seems like you slit doubt me. I think this should help…” Lin M said before some faint chants started to come out of his mouth.

A short sword appeared in front of him, that Wu Hei instantly recognized. But what confirmed the fact that this was indeed Lin Mu was what he saw next.
