"Kid, dealing with a man like you..."
"What's wrong with a man like me?" Xu Mu asked calmly.
"What?"
The blonde woman's face suddenly changed, and she took a few steps back abruptly.
She looked at Xu Mu in disbelief, with extreme panic in her eyes.
How could it be?
Just now, she didn't show any mercy. She used her hidden strength and landed a solid blow on the man's heart.
Not only was he unharmed, but he didn't even take a step back.
Xu Mu gently patted the front of his clothes, and his face grew colder.
In fact, just now, he, known as the God of Assassins, had anticipated the woman's attack.
Xu Mu could have struck first to take her out, or he could have immediately stepped back to avoid the blow.
However, the woman was clearly only at the initial stage of hidden strength.
Xu Mu still wanted to take the hit head - on to test his current physical constitution.
He gently shook his body and found no injuries.
However, it still hurt a bit.
"Spare me! Big brother, I know I was wrong. I'm a woman, and I'll definitely satisfy you..."
Whoosh!
Before the blonde woman could finish speaking, Xu Mu's figure had already appeared in front of her.
Tears welled up in the blonde woman's eyes. "Big brother..."
Bang!
Xu Mu punched her in the chest, and the woman was sent flying on the spot. Blood spurted out of her mouth like a mist.
She crashed through several trees in a row before falling to the ground, motionless.
"Sorry, I have a passive personality. I'll treat others the way they treat me." Xu Mu gently flexed his wrist.
Just now, this woman clearly intended to take his life.
If it were an ordinary person, being attacked by hidden strength on the heart would be a death sentence.
Since she tried to kill him, Xu Mu naturally had to return the favor. That was only fair.
He walked over and took the small backpack off the woman's back.
Xu Mu's eyes lit up. This woman seemed to know about rare treasures of heaven and earth. There were no low - grade ones in the bag.
The lowest - grade ones were of the third rank, and the highest - grade ones were of the sixth rank.
Xu Mu put the items into his storage space and continued walking up the mountain.
During the journey, he began to feel parched and drank half a bottle of mineral water.
Meanwhile, Dai Xingluo and Dai Xiao also stepped into the thick fog.
Dai Xiao was at the middle stage of obvious strength. It was a breeze for him to grab the chain and reach this place.
At this moment, Dai Xiao was carrying a backpack and holding a bottle of cola. He tilted his head back and took a few sips.
"Xingluo, it's so hot here."
Dai Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and took another gulp. "Where should we go?"
Dai Xingluo looked around and then pointed to the mountaintop in the distance. "Let's go up the mountain first."
"Another mountain climb."
Dai Xiao sighed helplessly. He drained the remaining cola in the bottle and then threw it away.
However, it was all worth it for the sake of finding rare treasures of heaven and earth.
Although he was the eldest son in the family, he was not favored.
In the hidden family, strength was supreme. The two sons of his father's second wife were all stronger than him.
However, if he could find powerful rare treasures of heaven and earth, the situation would reverse.
"Damn it! What's going on here? Is it really this hot today?"
Dai Xiao was very puzzled. Although he was standing in the shade of the trees, the oncoming heatwave still made his cheeks sting.
He took out another bottle of mineral water from his backpack and poured half of it on his head to cool down a bit.
Just then, a middle - aged man rushed out of the nearby woods.
His lips were chapped, and the black blood in the cracks was clearly visible.
He stared fixedly at Dai Xiao and roared, "Give me the water!"
"Do you know who I am?"
Dai Xiao frowned and said unhappily.
Whoosh!
A dagger appeared in the middle - aged man's hand, and he leaped towards Dai Xiao.
Seeing this, Dai Xiao was so scared that he immediately hid behind Dai Xingluo.
"Hahaha! Not only is there water, but there's also a beautiful girl to have fun with. I'm so lucky."
The middle - aged man looked at Dai Xingluo's face and laughed.
"Do you want to play with me?"
Dai Xingluo curled her lips and showed a sickly - sweet smile.
She immediately stepped forward. Just as she was about to face the middle - aged man, the ground beneath her feet suddenly caved in.
In an instant, Dai Xingluo flashed to the middle - aged man's side.
She forcefully chopped down with the dagger in her hand and cut off the middle - aged man's hand holding the dagger on the spot.
Slap!
A crisp sound of a slap rang out. Dai Xingluo grabbed the middle - aged man's face with one hand.
Whoosh!
The dagger stabbed into the middle - aged man's ear.
Blood spurted out.
The middle - aged man died on the spot.
"How boring."
Dai Xingluo squatted down and wiped the blood off the dagger with the middle - aged man's clothes.
Dai Xiao, who was following behind, took a step back in fright. This younger sister was really fierce.
However, he also let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was smart.
He knew that this place was full of dangers, so he brought Dai Xingluo along.
At this moment, Dai Xingluo took the satchel from the middle - aged man's waist and opened it.
Her face immediately lit up. There were actually several rare treasures of heaven and earth in it.
The lowest - grade ones were of the second rank, and the highest - grade ones were of the fourth rank.
It seemed that there really were treasures in this place. She should have told Li Zizai to come too.
"Sister Xingluo, we agreed to split the rare treasures of heaven and earth fifty - fifty." Dai Xiao immediately stepped forward and said.
"Stop talking nonsense and put them away."
Dai Xingluo handed the satchel to Dai Xiao. Noticing the man's thirst, she reminded him, "We only bought six bottles of water. Drink it sparingly."
"But I'm thirsty."
Dai Xiao pouted.
"If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I'll kill you?" Dai Xingluo's eyes turned cold. "There are six bottles in total. We each get three. You can drink yours as you like, but if you touch mine, I'll chop you up!"
Hearing this, Dai Xiao's face turned a little pale.
Others might not know, but he was well aware that if Dai Xingluo got angry, she would definitely take action.
Xu Mu continued to rush towards the mountaintop, constantly using his senses to observe his surroundings.
Finally, he reached the mountaintop.
He immediately jumped onto a huge rock to observe the situation around him.
From here, he could already see the boundary of the thick fog.
The entire area was about the size of an ordinary county - level city's urban area.
Beyond that, his vision was blocked by the thick fog.
On the other side of the mountain, there were fewer trees, and he could occasionally see some flowers and plants.
According to normal logic, Xu Ningbing would definitely head there. He immediately rushed over to look for her.
He still had plenty of water, but he was more worried about Xu Ningbing.
An ordinary person on a long - distance journey would try to reduce their load as much as possible. Even if Xu Ningbing brought some water, it shouldn't be much.
Meanwhile, at the hotel where Xu Mu had parked his car earlier, a BMW X7 pulled up.
Lin Yang got out of the car and walked towards the hotel.
After he reached the front desk, he carefully sized up the staff there, then leaned over with a smile. "Miss, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes."
The front - desk lady replied with a smile.
"Having a boyfriend is great. I just like girls with boyfriends. I want to be in the same 'circle' as your boyfriend." Lin Yang said, deliberately emphasizing the words "in the same circle" slowly.
"You..."
The woman's face clearly showed her displeasure.
"Boss!"
Just then, a young man wearing a baseball cap trotted in. "Come with me."
Only then did Lin Yang turn around and walk out of the hotel.
"Boss! This is Xu Mu's car!" The young man in the baseball cap pointed at the Cadillac.
"What?"
Lin Yang frowned. Why did he come here too?
This time, their target was only Dai Xiao.
That's why they specifically spent a large sum of money and offered the location of a relic to deceive him here.
As for killing Xu Mu, there was no need to go through so much trouble.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately...

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
