Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

After the words were spoken.

Su Mu’s figure shook slightly, his terrifying aura enveloped the entire scene, then quickly spread out.

The shadows array connecting the mountain top plaza with the mountain foot simultaneously cracked, covered in fractures, and exploded...

In an instant, Su Mu’s figure disappeared from the martial arts arena.

Tao Jidong had no time to react, his expression changed drastically, the sneering smile at the corners of his mouth froze, unable to withdraw, his pupils constricted into pinholes.

Less than a tenth of a breath.

Terror instantly flooded his mind, the heart in his chest choked by an intense sense of life-and-death crisis, and then a blue sun burst into endless brilliance in his eyes, imprinted on his forehead.

"Boom!"

The intangible sky, under compressed layers, couldn’t bear the weight, sent terrifying shockwaves spreading in all directions, a strand of which became a violent wind, lifting the green stone slabs on the mountain top plaza, harder than metal, before exploding into dust mid-air.

A great burst of blue light!

In the moment when a deafening explosion sounded.

The world abruptly quieted for an instant, everyone felt their hearing lost for a moment.

"No, no...!"

Tao Jidong desperately tried to mobilize all his power, his rampaging spiritual qi and the embryonic form of his proud grandmaster’s aura were suppressed into shrinking and stalling, unable to move even a finger except for his glaring eyes.

At this moment he was completely bewildered, as if he wasn’t confronting Wang Chan, but rather the Bai Jiao Mountain itself, the whole of heaven and earth, confronting a true Upper Three Grades great cultivator that could master the power of heaven and earth.

Faced with such terror, the intuition honed by practitioners to seek fortune and avoid calamity constantly and clearly warned him again and again.

This strike, he would die!

However...

Even his last hysterical shout couldn’t last long, abruptly stopped.

Everything happened too quickly, too shockingly, so fast that it left everyone without a chance to react.

On the guest seat, when Tao Yang, Song Yuanshan, Gu Dongcheng, and others realized something was wrong, it was too late.

"Not good!"

"You scoundrel, you’re courting death!"

One figure after another leaped into the air. Most of the guests on the seat practiced Taoist methods, inherently harmonizing with nature, distinct from martial artists who cultivate refining force and qi blood; cultivators of the Taoist sect inhale and exhale the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, even a fourth grade cultivator can briefly fly.

Yet all this was to no avail.

As the storm-like rolling white waves faded away, Su Mu in the martial arts arena calmly retracted his fist as if nothing had happened, as if it was all an illusion by the crowd.

Only everyone’s pupils contracted again, and after several roars of anger, the plaza turned into a silent deathly stillness.

Amidst the vacant stares, on the opposite side of the martial arts arena.

Facing Wang Chan, a half-corpse with everything above the abdomen disappearing suddenly fell, the ’ping’ sound echoing in everyone’s hearts, causing a shudder in all present.

It was a half-corpse still burning in flames, the flesh and blood like a strawman being burned by the star bear, judging by its clothing.

This corpse was none other than the previously arrogant Tao Jidong!

Tao Yang was completely dumbfounded.

Staring blankly at the half-corpse in front, his expression twitched uncontrollably.

A few breaths ago.

This was still their Tao Family’s high-ranking Law Enforcement Hall Master Elder, once a contender with Tao Yang for the position of family patriarch, if not for the many family affairs, Tao Jidong also had the opportunity to advance to a great cultivator.

"You!?"

Tao Yang’s calm demeanor vanished entirely, a surge of indescribable anger arose, turning sharply to glare at Wang Chan in the martial arts arena, overflowing with murderous intent.

Li Linfeng at this moment was also shocked, he glanced deeply at Su Mu in the martial arts arena, then without hesitation, took a step spanning between the two, but before the Li Family Patriarch could speak.

Su Mu in the martial arts arena took a step forward, his eyes still flickering with formidable white light, quietly crushing the White Dragon’s oppressive gaze over Li Linfeng to meet Tao Yang.

"Patriarch Tao..."

Wang Chan’s eyes narrowed slightly, staring directly at Tao Yang, "Do you also wish to battle me?"

"Boom——!"

After a single punch killed Tao Jidong, the battle intent from Su Mu’s body became increasingly terrifying, at this moment everyone could clearly feel that aura, named the invincible aura.

Tao Yang’s expression froze, momentarily lost in thought.

This Wang kid just killed a fourth-grade peak Law Enforcement Hall Master from the Tao Family, and now dares to challenge me, the Tao Family’s half-step Great Cultivator Patriarch?!

Thinking of Tao Jidong’s death, Tao Yang was somewhat dazed.

At this moment, all the onlookers on the top plaza of Bai Jiao Mountain were completely stunned, Governor of Donglai Song Yuanshan, Vice-Professor of County Academy Gu Dongcheng, several noble house masters, all the influential figures of Donglai County were dumbfounded.

All the contestants from participating counties and the young generation of talents from Donglai County were utterly bewildered.

Their minds blank, mouths open as if to speak, yet seemingly unable to form words.

Tao Jidong was dead?!

A fourth-grade peak Taoist cultivator died here before their eyes, killed by a single punch from Wang Chan, without even leaving an intact body.

This all seemed too fantastical, if it spread, it would likely be disbelieved, even by those present!

Everyone originally thought Wang Chan just intended to sharpen his martial dao by using the pressure from Tao Jidong to pave the way for the grandmaster’s path.

And Tao Jidong’s intentions were all too clear, agreeing just to avenge the grudge towards Tao Xinglie, seeking the opportunity to kill Wang Chan.
