Mr. Hun's Way of Conducting Himself in Life

Hearing this person's voice, the bald men all around nodded respectfully and retreated into the distance one after another.

Xu Mu stared at the black-robed man in front of him. His perception was omnidirectional, so he could see the man's face from the angle below him.

He tried to use the Eye of God to observe the other party's identity and found that he could see his information.

Name: Wang Hun

Identity: Founder of the Immortality Research Institute

Favorability: -1

Destiny Level: 7 (Max level 10)

Seeing this information, Xu Mu was dumbfounded on the spot. What was going on?

Mr. Soul from the Immortality Research Institute came in person. Was this a joke?

"They are from the Immortality Research Institute, yet they are so respectful to you. If I'm not mistaken, you must be Mr. Soul, right?"

Xu Mu's face was extremely tense. This person was a major villain.

Compared to the previous villain Xu Mu, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

In the late stages of the story, even when the Immortality Research Institute was destroyed, he still didn't die.

In fact, clues could be seen from this person's information.

A Destiny Level of 7 with no further introduction proved that he was different from those female leads; he relied entirely on himself.

"You are very smart. I am indeed Mr. Soul."

Wang Hun nodded slightly.

Lying on the ground nearby with purple lips, Shi Fumeng was so frightened upon hearing this that her lips began to turn pale again.

Mr. Soul!

She never expected to see the founder of the Immortality Research Institute. This person's reputation was incredibly huge.

She actually saw him in the flesh today!

"Mr. Wang Hun, what do you want with me? There shouldn't be any bad blood between us, right?"

Xu Mu backed away step by step and came to Shi Fumeng's side.

He slowly crouched down, deliberately placing his hand on the blood in front of Shi Fumeng, and then asked in a low voice, "Can you still walk?"

"No, my legs have lost all their strength."

Shi Fumeng's face was ashen. If she had known, she would have come alone.

This bastard Xu Mu had provoked the legendary Mr. Soul. By following him this time, she might have just forfeited her own life.

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Xu Mu stood back up and gently touched his nose. In fact, he was analyzing Shi Fumeng's poisoned blood.

He possessed Pharmaceutical Mastery and could identify what kind of poison it was based on the smell.

"Xu Mu, how can you lie through your teeth? You destroyed several of my institute's branches, and you dare say we have no bad blood?"

Wang Hun walked toward Xu Mu with a smile.

"Senior Wang Hun, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? I only destroyed a few of your minor branches. You could have just sent any elder or branch minister to kill me. Why bother coming here in person?"

Xu Mu already knew that Shi Fumeng's poison was a nerve-paralyzing toxin, similar to Yuli's spray from before.

"I like to nip anything detrimental to me in the bud. With your exceptional talent, did you think I would send people whose realms were just slightly higher than yours to let you level up? And then wait for you to get stronger and kill me?"

Wang Hun shook his head. "Sorry, I'm not that kind of person. For me, the moment a threat shows itself, I will personally take action to blast it into smithereens so it can never be reincarnated."

Xu Mu quickly opened his storage space, took out a few medicinal herbs, and stuffed them all into his mouth.

He chewed vigorously to extract the juices, then shoved the wad of herbs into Shi Fumeng's mouth.

"You... Ugh! What are you doing?"

Shi Fumeng struggled. "I'm about to die, and you're still taking advantage of me..."

As she spoke, she suddenly took a deep breath. Her previously numb legs now had feeling.

"You can move now, right? Hurry and leave!"

Xu Mu said sternly.

"Xu Mu, I almost want to applaud your 'hero saving the beauty' act. However, you don't need to worry too much. I am a kind-hearted person and won't slaughter the innocent."

Wang Hun was now only five or six meters away from Xu Mu. "I won't kill her. My target is only you."

"Is that so? Then I'll be running first!"

Xu Mu immediately executed his Cloud Steps, treading on the air and fleeing into the distance.

Shi Fumeng didn't believe Wang Hun's nonsense at all. The moment Xu Mu fled, she also immediately ran in the opposite direction.

She was closer to the sea here. As long as she jumped into the water, her chances of survival would increase.

Swoosh!

Wang Hun's figure instantly shot into the sky. Only after his figure had flown into the air did the ground beneath his feet shatter into pieces.

Shi Fumeng ran while looking back. When she saw the scene unfolding in the sky, her eyes widened in horror.

Wang Hun had actually caught up to Xu Mu in an instant, piercing his body with a single sword thrust.

Meanwhile, Xu Mu's longsword merely slashed past the front of Wang Hun, missing him completely.

"Xu Mu..."

Seeing this scene, Shi Fumeng felt inexplicably terrible in her heart.

She wiped away her tears, gritted her teeth, and jumped into the seawater.

High above.

Xu Mu looked down at his chest and murmured softly, "My heart..."

Wang Hun quickly pulled out his longsword and thrust it into the other side of Xu Mu's body.

"Xu Mu, I'm someone who doesn't like making mistakes. To prevent the possibility of your heart being on the other side, I stabbed both sides."

Wang Hun didn't withdraw the sword but instead twisted the hilt. "Rest assured, I will collect your corpse. I'm very curious to know why your physique..."

As he spoke, he realized that his longsword had only pierced through clothing. Xu Mu's figure was long gone.

However, looking at the bloodstains on the tip of the sword, it proved that he had indeed hit him.

"An illusion?"

Wang Hun recalled the slash Xu Mu had directed at him when he turned around just now. Could it have been because of that sword strike?

"Interesting. The grade of this cultivation method isn't low. A mere Grandmaster was actually able to affect my mind."

After saying this, he landed on the island below, closed his eyes, and carefully probed his surroundings.

But he couldn't find any trace of Xu Mu.

...

Meanwhile.

Xu Mu had long since fallen into the sea. His perception covered all directions.

Therefore, when he was fleeing just now, even with his back to Wang Hun, he had noticed the other party rapidly approaching him.

Given the enemy's speed, it was simply impossible for Xu Mu to escape.

So he hadn't planned to run away. Instead, he gathered his strength and, when the other party got close, executed a God-level cultivation method, using his clothes to confuse his senses.

However, the opponent's sword was too fast and still managed to stab his waist.

Just then, a figure darted toward Xu Mu.

Taking a closer look, he found that it was Shi Fumeng, and she was surrounded by a bubble.

She bumped into Xu Mu, enveloping him within the bubble as well.

At this time, she controlled the bubble, drifting continuously through the seawater.

"We can breathe inside here. Let's hide underwater for a while."

Shi Fumeng said to Xu Mu, "Does this count as me saving you this time?"

"Barely."

Xu Mu's injuries weren't severe, and there was no need to use Destiny Power to heal his body. Instead, he swallowed a medicinal pill.

Then, he sighed, "In the face of absolute power, no matter how strong the cultivation method is, it's useless."

"Cultivation methods indeed require a high realm to sustain them."

Shi Fumeng chimed in.

"Fumeng, this place is full of danger, and we can't escape at the moment. Having another expert around means an extra layer of safety. I've decided to teach you a Heaven-tier cultivation method."

Xu Mu suddenly looked at Shi Fumeng.

Hearing this, Shi Fumeng's breathing grew heavy. It was finally happening!

All her hard work hadn't been in vain; she had finally tricked him out of the cultivation method!
