Chapter 253: Being Recognized
The person who spoke just now seed to be the captain stationed at the city gate, with a slightly stronger aura among the crowd, but even so, it was only relative to a first-tier evolver.
Being held at neck by more than a dozen long weapons just now must have been uncomfortable. And a little mouse? Who gave him the courage?
Zhang Mu’s gaze turned cold, he didn’t care who the person was, even if he was Wang Liang’s man, he wouldn’t show rcy.
Assessing the unfamiliar faces, Zhang Mu snorted coldly. So of his ntal energy had already recovered during the process of watching the show, combined with what he hadn’t fully used up before. He directly activated his ntal shield, causing all those weapons to burst and fly rapidly back to their owners.
Skilled evolvers in weapon control, like that captain and a few others, managed to dodge. However, most of the others failed to evade and ended up getting struck by their own weapons to varying degrees.
Suddenly, screams filled the air. Zhang Mu found himself in a crack in the ground, pushed out by the vines of the Blood Lotus like a spring. Just before the Blood Lotus finished its thrust, Zhang Mu instinctively retracted it back into his body. It looked as if he had sprung out of the ground.
The team leader who was furious just monts ago now looked at Zhang Mu with a hint of fear in his eyes. He had initially planned to teach this young boy a lesson, but now hesitated, unsure of Zhang Mu’s true strength.
His ten henchn lay on the ground, covered in blood, groaning in pain. Weapons were embedded in their bodies at various depths, in their thighs, shoulders, and arms, but vital areas were mostly avoided.
Zhang Mu didn’t target anyone specifically, so there were still so first-tier evolvers who had so reflexes.
Zhang Mu’s expression remained unchanged, showing no reaction to the earlier taunts from the enemy, nor did he appear smug about injuring the group. He simply watched quietly as the team leader and a few others stood unhard.
“Who are you? Do you know where you are? No matter how capable you think you are, injuring mbers of our Luo Yang Alliance ans you have no place in Luo Yang City. We are just in charge of guarding the city, with limited power. You can still surrender now and hand over your valuables. I’ll consider giving you a few days of hard labor as atonent. I advise you not to resist.”
The team leader decided not to act, realizing he might not be a match for the man in front of him. Instead, he resorted to verbal threats, assuming Zhang Mu was just one of the refugees seeking shelter in Luo Yang City.
He had encountered many refugees before, and even the strongest ones had to bow down within the territories of Luo Yang.
But Zhang Mu wasn’t intimidated by him. However, the situation in Luo Yang City was turning out to be different from what he had imagined.
Where did this Luo Yang Alliance co from? Wang Liang brought together all the gathering places, so he must have a significant role in the alliance. But what exactly is Wang Liang’s identity in all of this?
Zhang Mu still didn’t respond to the young captain, just quietly staring at him as if he was looking at a fool, not taking his threats seriously and treating him as a re clown.
The young captain noticed Zhang Mu’s disdain. He had never encountered soone like this before. Normally, when lone rangers ntion Luo Yang City, a place controlled by a unified power, people tend to show so respect.
But this young man in front of him, who looked no more than twenty years old, accompanied by a young girl and a little child, dared to disregard the Luo Yang Alliance.
“You really don’t know your place. Do you think you’re the strongest around here? Let tell you, within our Luo Yang Alliance, there are countless individuals who could easily defeat you.
You’re just a refugee seeking shelter. What right do you have to act like a supre expert here? If you really have skills, go deal with the mutated beasts outside. Why bother sneaking into our Luo Yang City’s territory?”
The young captain’s voice grew louder as he spoke, completely forgetting that his ten companions were still lying on the ground groaning.
Finally, Zhang Mu spoke up, “Even if there are nurous individuals within your Luo Yang Alliance who could defeat , as you claim, my strength is nothing to be underestimated.”
Arching his eyebrow, Zhang Mu glanced at the hesitant group before him, saying, “But what does that have to do with you? Always demanding and forcing others to work, it seems like you have quite a lot of experience in intimidating and exploiting people.”
His next words made the people standing there turn green with anger.
“Just a bunch of guard dogs, huh? Not happy with the food your master gave you? Trying to make so extra money?”
They couldn’t contain themselves. No matter how skilled Zhang Mu was, the reinforcents from the city defense forces would soon arrive. They wanted to see if Zhang Mu could talk his way out of it then.
The leader of the small group waved his sword and rushed towards Zhang Mu. Right before the sword struck, flas slyly ignited on the blade.
So, there’s extra power on the weapons? No wonder he had good control over the weapon just now. The main energy depends on one’s own weapon.
Just when Zhang Mu was thinking of lowering his ntal shield to teach this person a lesson, suddenly there was a sound of approaching footsteps from behind, as if reinforcents had arrived.
When the leader’s blade touched the ntal shield, a burst of smoke rose above Zhang Mu’s head. However, it couldn’t cut through at all, and the flas quickly extinguished.
The difference between a first-tier normal fla and Zhang Mu’s second-tier psychic power was just too big.
Although they didn’t know how Zhang Mu did it, as soon as the leader saw the people coming behind Zhang Mu, his eyes lit up. He shouted, “Lin, co quickly to help. We have a tough one here, a refugee who injured so many of my brothers and even insulted the Luo Yang Alliance, even your leader doesn’t see eye to eye.”
Although not outstanding in ability, this person is truly skilled at causing trouble. Zhang Mu sensed so commotion in the crowd behind, and with a few words, they pushed Zhang Mu into the spotlight.
“Friend, is what he said true?” The person in charge behind them seed to know the character of this young team leader, asking Zhang Mu in a calm tone.
Zhang Mu turned slowly and gazed at the crowd approaching behind him.
The quality of these people was much better than the previous group of ten. Their overall deanor was different, exuding a chilling aura that seed to co from their blood.
The young man with glasses at the front looked sowhat familiar. Just as Zhang Mu started to recall with so confusion, the young man called Lin Siyan looked Zhang Mu up and down, seeming to recognize him. His questioning tone was sowhat unsure.
“Are you, Brother Mu?”
