Lin Mu looked at the six darkly dressed individuals who were standing a hundred meters away from him. They noticed him at the same moment Lin Mu noticed them. They tensed up and then placed their hands on the hilts of the swords they were carrying.

It looked like the men were hiding something as they were trying to cover something behind them. Even Lin Mu became nervous upon seeing the men, as he could tell that something was definitely wrong.

"I thought the routes were already blocked. What do we do now first brother?" One of the darkly dressed men spoke.

"Dammit! those guys can't even do a single task correctly," Another man said.

"Silence! It's just a kid, we'll take him as well. Master will be fine with some extra goods, anyway." The man named the first brother grimly spoke.

The first person to react among the six was the man to the very right. He walked towards Lin Mu and then started running as he drew his sword from its sheath.

"Focus and brace yourself. Use your spirit sense there may be cultivators." Xukong spoke in a firm tone.

Lin Mu instinctively started chanting the calming heart sutra. His mind tranquilized and he could think clearly. The movement of the man approaching him slowed down by a notch and he could see the man's tracks.

As soon as the man got in the range of Lin Mu's spirit sense, he detected that the man was not a cultivator and was instead at the 9th stage of the body tempering realm. Feeling assured Lin Mu drew his sword, set his hand straight, and entered a stance.

Lin Mu bent to the side in an effort to dodge the man's blade and barely scraped by.

"That was close." Lin Mu muttered.

"You're not gonna avoid the next one." The man spoke.

The man approached Lin Mu again and slashed at him, which he blocked with his short sword. Lin Mu then pushed back and deflected the sword.

"How?" The man exclaimed upon seeing Lin Mu's strength.

Lin Mu had an advantage over the man as he was already in the 10th stage of the body tempering realm, along with being a cultivator at the Mid-stage of the Qi refining realm.

The companions of the man noticed this and were just about to warn him when…
