Wang Qing and the other two never expected that Golden Elephant City would push them out to deal with Zhao Mu.
But all three of them had been severely disciplined by Zhao Mu and had witnessed his terrifying strength, knowing they were no match for him.
Golden Elephant City didn't even spare them a glance. Instead, he turned around and smiled at Zhao Mu, saying, "These three are all your classmates. They came over and taught me how to deal with you."
To him, Wang Qing and the two others no longer held any utility.
Their last bit of value was to make them fight Zhao Mu and deplete his strength.
"How could you do this? How could you do this!"
Chen Mingming's face turned pale with fright. He knew that after the three of them had done such a thing, Zhao Mu definitely wouldn't let them off.
He might even kill them!
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Mu's mouth.
He understood Golden Elephant City's scheme. These three were just a distraction; the moment he showed a weakness during the fight, Golden Elephant City would strike immediately!
Even three pawns must be utilized to their maximum effect by him.
Zhao Mu sneered, his gaze chilling as he looked at the people before him. Golden Elephant City was also smiling, but he was staring at Wang Qing and the two others with an undeniable look.
The killing intent in his eyes was clear!
At this moment, he no longer needed to pretend to be a good person.
If Wang Qing and the others didn't obey, he could kill them just the same!
The hearts of the few sank to the bottom, but just then, Wang Qing suddenly remembered that he still had a trump card.
He placed his knife against Li Zixuan's neck, stiffened his own neck, and shouted at Zhao Mu, "Zhao Mu! Kneel down for me! Otherwise, I'll kill both of them!"
Zhao Mu looked at him and merely sneered.
Then, carrying his heavenly halberd, he approached them step by step.
Wang Qing panicked. "I told you to kneel! Hurry up and kneel! Do you think I won't dare to act? I really will kill them, kneel, kneel!!!"
He practically roared these words; his mental state had completely collapsed.
Zhao Mu said coldly, "If I hadn't come, they would have died because of me. But since I am here, I naturally won't be foolish enough to joke with my own life!"
"Let them go, and I can guarantee I won't kill you three. Otherwise, just wait for death!"
Wang Qing's expression flickered between dark and light, but Zhao Mu's steps didn't pause in the slightest, making his heart grow increasingly frantic.
The three men screamed in terror, like desperate stray dogs.
"Put down your weapons!"
"Don't come any closer!"
"Surrender! Hurry up and surrender!"
...But Zhao Mu acted as if he heard nothing, getting closer and closer to them.
As he walked, he said indifferently:
"It seems you've forgotten that when we were studying at Yuwu No. 2 Middle School, during Weapons Class, I was the Class Monitor who substituted for the teacher to instruct you on how to use weapons."
"Wang Qing, your strength is too small to wield long weapons, yet you dare not engage in close combat with short weapons. That's why you use a knife; your knife only defends, it doesn't dare to attack."
"Chen Mingming, you are tall and well-built, but your fundamentals are terrible, especially your unstable footwork. Any clash of strength makes you lose your footing."
"Sun Wei, your spear technique is even worse—weak forehand, poor backhand, loose footwork; nothing about it is decent!"
Zhao Mu sneered, "Do three pieces of trash like you dare to challenge me?"
The more the three listened, the more alarmed they became, and their fear of Zhao Mu intensified, because everything he said was an accurate description of their weaknesses.
Wang Qing's eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly roared, raised the long knife in his hand, and viciously slashed it toward Li Zixuan's head!
Through the three of them, Zhao Mu saw Golden Elephant City's eyes, dangerous like a viper's.
But Zhao Mu still made his move.
A Flying Knife shot out from his left hand, heading straight for Wang Qing's right hand!
The distance was too great to pierce Wang Qing's Protective Spiritual Power, but the Flying Knife accurately struck his left wrist. The massive force caused a tremor, instantly making Wang Qing's long knife fly out of his hand!
A sharp pain assaulted his wrist. Looking down, he saw that his Protective Spiritual Power had been torn open, and the Flying Knife was embedded half an inch deep into his wrist!
"Whoosh—"
The moment Zhao Mu threw the Flying Knife, he charged forward, carrying the heavenly halberd!
The halberd swept down sideways toward Chen Mingming like a gale sweeping fallen leaves!
Chen Mingming frantically raised the long sword in his hand to block. However, the instant the sword and halberd collided, the immense force caused his lower body to collapse, and he was pressed down by Zhao Mu, kneeling on the ground with a "thud!"
The halberd pressed down on the long sword, then, without losing momentum, smashed onto his shoulder!
"Crack!"
That long sword was actually bent by the sheer force, Chen Mingming's shoulder blade shattered, and blood stained his clothes!
Sun Wei roared, "Zhao Mu, die!"
He lunged his spear from the side toward Zhao Mu's armpit. Unexpectedly, Zhao Mu pulled and yanked with his left hand, gripping the long spear and forcefully snatching it away!
Following the momentum, he swung his left hand, slamming Sun Wei to the ground.
Wang Qing, whose right wrist had been pierced by the Flying Knife, pulled a dagger from his waist with his left hand and lunged toward Zhao Mu's temple from the right side.
Zhao Mu gripped the halberd with both hands over his shoulder, performing a full rotation around his shoulder in a mountain-carrying posture, then suddenly thrust it out!
The halberd traced a perfect arc in mid-air, then smashed toward Wang Qing!
"Bang!!"
The heavy halberd body fiercely slammed into Wang Qing's chest!
His Combat Level 5 Protective Spiritual Power shattered under this savage blow!
"Pfft!!"
Blood spurted from his mouth like a fountain, and his entire body flew into the air like a ragged sack, smashed seven or eight meters away!!
After he landed, blood continued to gush from his mouth like an open faucet. His body convulsed, and it was clear he was only inhaling, not exhaling.
Anyone could tell that being struck in the chest by such powerful force from Zhao Mu meant his internal organs were completely ruptured!
Just as Zhao Mu had said, he knew the fighting styles of these three too well, so he struck them down directly and decisively, without any hesitation.
Sun Wei and Chen Mingming knew Zhao Mu wouldn't let them go, so they let out desperate roars, enduring their injuries to charge at Zhao Mu!
"Clang!" "Clang!"
Two sounds of metal clashing rang out; the long sword was knocked away, and the long spear was shaken loose.
Chen Mingming took a halberd strike to the neck, severing half of it directly!
Sun Wei fared no better.
Just as Zhao Mu was about to strike him with a backhand blow, a blinding light suddenly burst forth from his chest!
A sword filled with killing intent pierced through Sun Wei and then shot straight toward Zhao Mu!
Golden Elephant City finally found an opportunity to strike!
The first-grade jinhai, the silver sword, easily penetrated Sun Wei's body. This attack was indeed sudden.
But Zhao Mu was not unprepared.
He had been guarding against this man from the very start!
The heavenly halberd was gripped tightly in Zhao Mu's hands. The Spiritual Power inside his body erupted wildly, then enveloped the halberd's surface as if it were solid matter.
Subsequently, the halberd moved to block the silver sword!
"Clang!"
Under the gaze of everyone present, the ember remains silver sword slashed onto the heavenly halberd, a C-Grade Alloy Trial Equipment!
