In the instant of her shock, she pulled back and dodged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Mu’s counterattack had already arrived. He swung the long cudgel backward in a fierce slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow struck the clown girl, who had not retreated fast enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the moment it landed, she suddenly exploded into a puddle of red-and-blue liquid dye, splashing all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A space-type ability? Or some other method?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were countless kinds of talents, and once one reached the Fifth or Sixth Grade, one’s methods only became more varied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All sorts of bizarre martial techniques emerged one after another. It was not necessarily a space-type talent that would produce a trick like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Mu was not the least bit flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had had such a hard time fighting the robed man earlier precisely because there had still been another enemy beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu had not dared use his other divine abilities carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been saving them all for this clown girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant she vanished, Li Mu activated Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint gleam flickered through his eyes in the darkness as he swiftly caught the obvious flow of True Qi in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clown girl’s shape appeared not far behind him like a heat image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant she had not dispersed her body into energy and reformed it. She was simply using True Qi to turn herself invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu let out a cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretending not to have noticed her, he deliberately turned his gaze toward the opposite direction, putting his back to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as expected, an eerie laugh sounded behind him. The clown girl reappeared and brought the baseball bat crashing down once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha... can you block it a second time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike was not only much faster, its power was also far more terrifying than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clown girl was clearly using her full strength this time. Wherever the bat passed, space itself gave off mournful cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that blow really landed, even Li Mu would not be able to withstand it all that easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Li Mu respected her enough to be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Freeze!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word left his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clown girl instantly stopped in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remained locked in that attacking posture, grotesquely suspended in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu, meanwhile, spun around and struck back, smashing her with one blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clown girl was sent hurtling into the ground, directly blasting a huge crater into it, and then tumbled more than ten times before finally stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu could not help admiring it inwardly. Fifth Grade Martial Artists really could take a beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that strike, even a Fourth Grade monster would have folded on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a close-combat Martial Artist, the clown girl’s defense was genuinely solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That one blow had not twisted her body out of shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment she hit the ground and regained the ability to move, she stared at Li Mu with eyes full of terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could not understand how she had ended up frozen in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Li Mu had already risen into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body spun twice in a fierce rotation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghostface Cudgel in his hand let out a shrill ghostly wail, tracing arcs of golden afterimages through the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he brought it smashing down at her in a full circular swing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Flowing Cloud Fleeting Shadow and Iron-Cleaving Form together, Li Mu brought the more-than-two-thousand-jin cudgel crashing down across the clown girl’s thighs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground exploded into an enormous pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her two thighs were driven straight into the crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her toes actually folded back and kicked her in the face, which showed just how viciously the bones had broken...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahhh!!~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clown girl let out an earth-shaking scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body convulsed violently as incomparable agony completely engulfed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu then walked over and slowly crouched down in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the clown girl, who had lost her voice from screaming and was trembling uncontrollably, he reached out and brushed back her brightly dyed hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of all things to imitate, you picked beauty salon fashion...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was endless contempt in his smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the clown girl no longer even had the strength to scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the robed man’s corpse not far away, she was terrified to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tears washed away her exaggerated black eye shadow, leaving two black streaks down her face that made her look even more like a clown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, in Li Mu’s eyes, she really was a bit of a clown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Kang sent you, didn’t he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Li Mu had left her alive was precisely to get a clear answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clown girl trembled as she said, “If I tell you, will you... will you let me go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu honestly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terror in the clown girl’s eyes instantly turned sinister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I die, the person who sent me absolutely won’t let you off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You only need to know this much: it’s someone you absolutely cannot afford to provoke!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you dare kill me, you’ll be buried with me!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she realized she had no hope of living, she chose to treat a dead horse as though it were still alive and threatened Li Mu, gambling on a slim chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she was going to die either way, and begging for mercy was useless. She might as well go all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sure enough, Li Mu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve surprised me a little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Usually people like you, the ones who laugh and shriek before a fight,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“wet themselves when death is at hand. I really didn’t expect you to have a bit of backbone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case, you may have to suffer a little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang residence, Abyss Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the place where the military district’s powerful figures stayed temporarily within the Abyss military district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the Mother Crystal had gone under supervision, all Martial Artists above the Profound Rank in the military district had to report their whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, at least one-third of those above the Profound Rank had to remain on duty in the military district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing happened to be one of those staying in the Abyss on duty tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late that night, Zhang Qing sat in the living room holding a cup of hot tea, apparently deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights in the living room were off, and he sat there in the darkness like a beast crouching in wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the front door moved, and Zhang Kang carefully pushed it open and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He switched on the light in the entryway and was just about to sneak upstairs\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when he saw his father sitting in the living room. It startled him badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing glanced at his son and asked in a low voice, “Where have you been?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kang put on a grinning face and immediately began thinking up an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing waved a hand irritably. There was no need to guess. He could already tell the boy had gone off indulging himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too annoyed to question him further, Zhang Qing unusually pointed to the sofa opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come sit for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing he was about to get lectured again, Zhang Kang sat down across from him with a drooping face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing did not ask where he had gone anymore. Instead, he warned him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The situation has not been peaceful lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must have as little contact with the Ye Group as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The more times like this, the more you have to steady yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the Mother Crystal development matter, although we can’t get our hands too deeply into it,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“you still have some merit from it, and I will fight for it properly on your behalf.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your promotion to Junior Wolf Guard is more than secure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once we get through this period steadily, we can think about other things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing spoke very slowly, as if deliberately trying to impress the words deeply into Zhang Kang’s mind for fear he would not listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Kang only frowned and muttered, “So we’re really just going to let Wang Longcheng bully us like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s only a Deputy Commanding Officer, yet he dared challenge you, a Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and we’re not doing anything at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that a little too humiliating?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing naturally understood his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he, an old fox, had a hard time swallowing this insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His son was young and hot-blooded, and he was the son of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief. He had never suffered such a loss before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only natural that he would be angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, if his son had not uttered a word, like some absurd ninja turtle just enduring everything, that would have been the abnormal thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Qing still slammed his teacup heavily onto the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are things you still cannot understand right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You only need to listen to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially that one called Li Mu! Under no circumstances are you to provoke him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you hear me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kang’s expression turned a little unnatural, and he muttered off to the side,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I... I just can’t swallow this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing frowned and was about to scold him again, but when he saw his son’s expression, and heard those words, his heart suddenly sank. In a cold voice, he demanded, “What do you mean by that? What did you do??”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The killing intent of a Profound Rank Martial Artist began spreading through the room, and Zhang Kang instantly felt it become hard to breathe. His legs went weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that once Li Mu died, this would come out sooner or later, so there was no point hiding it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I... I hired two people to kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Zhang Kang finished speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing shot to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacup in front of him shattered with a crack beneath the pressure of his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kang curled up on the spot in terror, thinking Zhang Qing was about to beat him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing’s eyes flashed with a chilling light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine. I didn’t hire outside assassins. It was that cosplay assassin squad I raised myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once they kill him, it’ll be completely secret. No one will ever trace it back to us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kang was still trying to defend himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Qing coldly asked, “Idiot! Is this how I taught you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before considering victory, consider defeat first! Tell me, what if they fail!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kang’s expression relaxed a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you mean that, then there’s no way they fail. Both of them are peak Fifth Grade!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not like this is the first time they’ve done something like this. Killing a peak Third Grade Martial Artist is more than easy enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I asked you whether you considered what happens if they fail!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing roared in a low, furious voice, barely suppressing himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kang was completely frightened out of his wits. He swallowed hard and stammered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I... I did think about it. If they fail, then at the very least he’ll have learned his lesson!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And even if he has the nerve to report it, once the matter reaches the Investigations Department, you can just make a call.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have our people inside the Investigations Department take over, and after some time it’ll all just fade away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing immediately ordered, “Contact them right now! Cancel the operation at once! Now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kang said, “We don’t leave phone records when we communicate. We meet at the secret base.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After giving them the order, I told them to look for a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ll probably need a long time just to find him alone, so I can just meet them tomorrow and tell them then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qing glared at him coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kang knew there was no point continuing to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All right, all right! I’ll go now, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing an extremely annoyed expression, he stood up, avoided his father’s gaze, and hurried out the door in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once outside, Zhang Kang still looked thoroughly unwilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A dignified Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and you’re this cowardly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you had even a little more aggression, I’d already be the son of the Commander-in-Chief!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After muttering that through clenched teeth, he headed straight for the Abyss Elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting him stay here overnight had been Zhang Qing’s order. But now that he had gotten away from him, he could go topside and find a place to enjoy himself all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, once Li Mu died tomorrow, the matter would already be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father would only need to use a few methods to clean it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not believe Wang Longcheng would really go to war with the Zhang family over a dead man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pearl Military District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Training Arena outside the Base One hall, countless soldiers had gathered to watch the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd only grew larger and larger, and someone had already gone off to notify the military district leadership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of the open space among the crowd, Li Mu lay half-reclined in a wicker chair, dozing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And behind him, mounted high on a weapon rack, two long spears held up two people, dead or alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man and a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And beneath them hung a banner:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These murderers attempted to assassinate a meritorious officer. A heavy reward will be given for information!”\u003C\u002Fp>",2424,"2026-05-30T10:59:06.731Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","849c348237d8650305bbdca8a4f5b30a40e859fce1769000d1ac0d23ef4a4288","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-91","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-89",99,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--cover.jpg"]
