24: It doesn't matter if you're old, I'll beat you into a grandson

As Lin Hu's words fell, Lin Qiming, who was pretending to be dead in a booth, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Damn it, Lin Hu, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you!

Lin Qiming seriously suspected that there was a problem with his ancestral grave.

He had been truly unlucky lately.

After Yang Danhong's death, the Inspection Team at least had something to report.

He had originally planned to take his subordinates out for drinks to win them over.

Who knew that all around them were rogue cultivators mocking the Inspection Team's incompetence?

They had completely lost face!

The critical thing was that they couldn't react, otherwise, in a few days, the whole city would be saying, 'I can't deal with the Myriad Gods Sect, but I can deal with you!'

In that case, they wouldn't be able to show their faces.

Seeing that loose cultivator, who had a loose tongue, being brutally beaten by the ominous Lu Ming, their hearts felt so much better.

They had originally intended to play dead and watch the show, but Lin Hu, that idiot, exposed their cover.

Realizing he could no longer hide, Lin Qiming had no choice but to stand up openly, a forced smile on his face.

"What a coincidence, Brother Lu, are you also here for a drink?"

Lu Ming's gaze swept over, his chilling eyes landing on Lin Qiming's face, which was plastered with a forced smile.

"Is Sir Lin also here? Then please tell Lin Hu, is there such a crime as 'provoking trouble' or not?"

Lin Qiming's smile froze on his face. He looked at Lu Ming's utterly cold eyes, and his heart tightened.

Damn it, how did Lin Hu manage to provoke this ominous star?

Lin Qiming nodded profusely.

"Yes, Brother, absolutely! How can a crude fellow like him presume to interpret the law to me?"

"By the way, we haven't finished dealing with the cases we have on hand, so we'll take our leave first."

The old fox, seeing the atmosphere was wrong, made a lightning-fast retreat, not even sparing Lin Hu a glance.

Everyone in the bar was stunned.

Who exactly was this Team Leader Lu? Why did the Inspection Team act like mice seeing a cat when they saw him?

Lin Hu's smile solidified.

Lu Ming scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain when he turned to look at him.

"Heh, so there really is such a law? I thought Gang Leader Lin was a scholar, you really had me fooled."

"If you're bad at something, practice more! Never pretend to know what you don't!"

Lin Hu's face instantly turned liver-colored, his eyes coldly raking over Lu Ming.

"Kid, if you're here to drink, you're welcome, but if you're here to cause trouble, I advise you to weigh your own strength first."

Lu Ming chuckled softly: "Look, you're getting agitated again. Wait a moment, let me think about what crime to charge you with."

"Shi Hu... Lin Hu... both names have 'Hu' in them. I now suspect you are blood brothers with the Myriad Gods Sect fugitive, Shi Hu. Come with me."

Lin Qiming, who had just reached the door, stumbled as he heard Lu Ming unashamedly slandering him.

Brother, you could at least come up with a more plausible reason.

Damn legs, hurry up and go!

The waters here are too deep.

The bar was plunged into a deathly silence.

The rogue cultivators stared at Lu Ming with strange expressions.

Damn it, you're not even bothering to put on an act anymore, are you?

Didn't your Law Enforcement Team always emphasize impartial enforcement of the law? Who exactly are the gangsters here?

"I'll kiss your grandpa!"

Lin Hu slammed the table, sending bottles and glasses crashing to the floor.

"I, Lin Hu, am a person of standing in the South City; how can you slander me as you please!"

He was truly furious; just because their names both had 'Hu' in them, they were blood brothers?

Lin Hu had dominated Jiang City for decades, and his own underhanded tactics seemed like those of a rookie in front of Lu Ming.

"Break his legs and throw him out." Lin Hu lost patience and waved his hand, as if shooing away a fly.

The six burly men behind him heard this and simultaneously stepped forward.

Old Li, who had been kicked to the ground by Lu Ming earlier, struggled to his feet, his body trembling, his eyes gleaming with a sense of satisfaction, while not forgetting to show off to the surrounding rogue cultivators.

"With the Black Tiger Gang's Six Vajras making a move, this kid is finished!"

"Lin Liu, Initial Element First Realm."

"Lin San, Lin Si, Lin Wu, Initial Element Second Realm."

"Lin Er and Lin Da are even more..."

Old Li hadn't finished speaking when a dazzling crimson lightning suddenly exploded inside the room.

Miserable screams echoed in his ears.

When Old Li opened his eyes again, he was terrified out of his wits by the hellish scene before him.

The Black Tiger Gang's Six Vajras, whom he had praised to the heavens, had become the Twelve Vajras.

Six people lay on the ground in agony, clutching their broken legs and wailing incessantly, blood splattering from their wounds, covering the entire room.

Lu Ming flicked the blood from his blade and gave him a ghostly smile: "You continue ordering the dishes..."

Old Li shivered.

"Mercy, Sir!"

He fell to his knees with a thud, his knees heavily hitting the glass-strewn floor.

Everyone looked at Lu Ming's retreating figure, gasping, a chill rushing straight to their skulls.

"What a ruthless ominous star!"

Lu Ming ignored Old Li, this mere clown. He turned to Lin Hu and smiled: "Let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Lu Ming, the Lu Ming you've been wanting to invite for tea!"

Lin Hu stared intently at Lu Ming, his pupils contracting.

Then he took out his great saber, a bitter smile on his face: "So that's how it is. I said I was just following orders, do you believe me?"

"I believe you!" Lu Ming nodded slightly, the killing intent in his eyes undiminished: "But you still have to die!"

Lin Hu took a deep breath. He knew that this matter would likely not end well.

"Many people have wanted my life over the years," Lin Hu's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and a powerful aura surged from his body. "But I'm still alive and well!"

With his furious roar, a menacing black tiger phantom with bared fangs and claws appeared behind him.

The tiger's roar shook the air, turning tables and chairs into dust.

The surrounding rogue cultivators were suffocated by this sudden surge of power, their eyes filled with shock.

"Top-tier two-star saber technique — Seven Fiend Saber!"

No wonder there were rumors that Lin Hu could, at Initial Element Fifth Realm, contend with Initial Element Sixth Realm.

The Fiend Tiger descending the mountain was like a thunderous force.

Although the power amplification of the Seven Fiend Saber wasn't as exaggerated as ten thousand jun, it was certainly enough to compensate for a thousand jun difference in strength.

"Kid, remember in your next life, I'm old, not useless! Not just any cat or dog can come and step all over me!"

Lin Hu suddenly swung his saber, and the destructive aura carrying the Black Tiger phantom lunged towards Lu Ming.

The speed was extremely fast, the angle cunning, and wherever it passed, the air tore, emitting a piercing shriek.

Looking at the solemn expression of the young man, Lin Hu's lips curled slightly.

But at the instant the saber tip arrived, Lu Ming stomped his foot, and the ground beneath him turned to dust.

Lin Hu's saber tip pierced a afterimage, and his pupils rapidly contracted.

The vanished Lu Ming suddenly appeared on his right side, chuckling softly: "Old man, it's okay to be old, I'll beat you into a grandson!"

His Demonic Subduing Fist blasted out, carrying the violent power of the Thunderclap Killing Burst.

"Boom!"

Lin Hu was smashed to the ground by the immense force, and the floor cracked.

Fortunately, the defensive magical treasure on his body blocked this blow, otherwise he would have ended up with an exploded head.

Strike while the iron is hot, Lu Ming closed in.

One punch, two punches, ten punches... each punch branded itself onto the hearts of the watching rogue cultivators.

They finally understood why the Inspection Team acted like they had seen a cat when they saw Lu Ming.

He was too brutal!

Better to provoke the King of Hell than to provoke the ominous Lu Ming!
