Dual Cultivation In Martial Peak - Chapter 7: Martial Dao True Intent
‘What’s this, they still haven’t left. I was trying to be generous, but I guess some insects never learn.’ Su Mu thought as a smile appeared on his face. It’s been a while since he noticed that two disciples from Storm House have been following him and Hu Mei’er around. It was none other than Cheng Shao Feng along with someone Su Mu didn’t recognise from his memories.
Grabbing Hu Mei’er by her arm, Su Mu started walking toward the deepest parts of the Black Wind Forest.
Hu Mei’er was confused but didn’t say anything, obediently following Su Mu.
After walking for about half an hour, Su Mu looked around.
‘This place should be far enough.’ He thought, looking at Hu Mei’er.
Su Mu picked Hu Mei’er by her buttocks as he wrapped her legs around his waist.
“Brother Su.” Hu Mei’er said in a bashful tone, placing her arms around Su Mu’s neck.
Su Mu leaned forward, kissing Hu Mei’er while massaging her buttocks as she moaned inside his mouth.
At a distance from them, two young men were standing while looking at Su Mu, who was peacefully making out with Hu Mei’er without a care in the world.
“That damn slut.” Cheng Shao Feng growled in anger, looking at the scene.
Before Hu Mei’er met Su Mu, he had done everything in his power to court Hu Mei’er. At first, it was just because of her status as the Blood Battle Group Leader’s daughter that made Cheng Shao Feng go after her, but after some time, he genuinely fell in love with her.
But Hu Mei’er was apathetic to his feelings, not even letting him touch her bare skin.
This made him extremely jealous of Su Mu since Hu Mei’er was actively trying to seduce him the moment they met, going as far as kissing each other on their first meeting.
“Senior Brother Nu, let’s kill this guy. As long as we do it fast enough, no one within the High Heaven Pavilion would suspect us.” Cheng Shao Feng said with hatred in his eyes.
“Are you sure about that? That guy’s status isn’t low, not to mention that Hu Mei’er is with him.” Nu Tao asked, wondering if his junior brother was blinded by hate. Su Mu was the grandson of the Second Elder of the High Heaven Pavilion killing him wasn’t something they can do without a proper plan.
“Senior Brother Nu, no one would know anything since both of them are going to die here. Let’s have our way with Hu Mei’er after killing Su Mu. I’m sure there’s plenty of meat for both of us to eat.” Cheng Shao Feng said with a sinister grin.
Hearing his words, Nu Tao looked around. Indeed, people barely come to these parts of the Black Wind Forests. As long as they deal with both Su Mu and Hu Mei’er, no one would find anything suspicious.
“Junior Brother Cheng, let’s do this.” Nu Tao replied with a sinister grin before walking over to Su Mu and Hu Mei’er.
“Junior Brother Cheng, just to be on the safe side, let’s attack Su Mu together before capturing Hu Mei’er. Although Hu Mei’er is at the 2nd Stage of Initial Element, her strength is probably weaker than you, so capturing her will be far simpler.” Nu Tao muttered as Cheng Shao Feng nodded.
Noticing that they were about to make their move, Su Mu decided to let go of Hu Mei’er.
“Brother Su?” Hu Mei’er asked, wondering why did Su Mu stop all of a sudden.
“Be a good girl, I’ll give you a present later.” Su Mu said with a smile, making Hu Mei’er nod.
“Su Mu, you bastard.” Hearing Cheng Shao Feng’s words, both Su Mu and Hu Mei’er turned around.
‘Initial Element 5th Stage, huh? And from the looks of it, his cultivation has yet to stabilize. Rather than cultivating in seclusion, this guy came out to look for trouble.’ Su Mu thought, internally shaking his head while looking at the guy standing next to Cheng Shao Feng.
Hu Mei’er eyes widened as she looked at Nu Tao.
“Brother Su. That guy, Nu Tao, has broken through the 5th Stage of the Initial Element Layer half a month ago. Please let me talk to them. With both our status, they can’t do anything to us as long as we don’t provoke them.” Hu Mei’er whispered, worried that Su Mu would do something impulsive. Nu Tao’s cultivation surpassed Su Mu by two minor realms, so she wasn’t sure if Su Mu could beat him in a one-on-one battle, not to mention that Cheng Shao Feng was there as well.
“Don’t worry about me.” Su Mu said with a smile, caressing Hu Mei’er’s cheek before giving her another kiss.
“SU MU, THIS YOUNG MASTER WILL KILL YOU.” Seeing that Su Mu wasn’t even looking at them, Cheng Shao Feng roared in anger.
“Junior Brother Cheng, let’s go at him together.” Nu Tao said.
“Okay.” Cheng Shao Feng nodded, pulling out his sword before they both started running towards Su Mu.
As Nu Tao’s fist was about to land, Su Mu casually grabbed his arm before throwing him away.
Noticing the slight opening in Su Mu’s defence, Cheng Shao Feng slashed his sword towards Su Mu’s neck.
“DIE.” Cheng Shao Feng shouted with a crazy smile as his sword was about to make contact with Su Mu’s neck.
“I-Impossible.” Cheng Shao Feng exclaimed, looking at his sword. Unlike what he had expected, his sword broke the moment it made contact with Su Mu’s neck.
“Don’t disgrace a sword by holding it.” Su Mu said, calmly placing his hand behind Cheng Shao Feng’s neck, he cracked his spine using his index finger, killing him with the least possible effort.
As someone who once cultivated the Dao of Swords to its peak, Su Mu wasn’t pleased by Cheng Shao Feng aimlessly waving his sword around.
If measured according to the Grand Dao Attainment System,
‘How is this guy a 3rd Stage Initial Element?’ Nu Tao thought, looking at his broken arm before turning towards Cheng Shao Feng’s corpse as his face started to turn pale. If he stayed here, he’ll die.
“No, he killed Junior Brother Cheng, as long as I escape, the Storm House won’t let this slide.” With that thought, Nu Tao started running towards the Black Wind Trade Area.
“The ones who are allowed to kill…” Su Mu muttered, picking up the broken sword that once belonged to Cheng Shao Feng as a hazy orange glow appeared around the sword before turning towards Nu Tao.
“Are those who are ready to be killed.” With those words, Su Mu threw the sword toward Nu Tao as it pierced his heart without fail. Not long after that, Nu Tao’s corpse started to disappear, soon turning into ashes.
‘With just a fraction of my Martial Dao True Intent, I almost started a World Baptism strong enough to kill an ordinary Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivator.’ Su Mu thought, his mouth twitching as he looked at the clouds.
Martial Dao True Intent was the condensed essence of a lifetime’s cultivation belonging to a master who has reached an unspecified, deep level of comprehension toward the Martial Dao, having extraordinarily destructive and corrosive properties that are extremely hard to drive out or resist, threatening even Great Emperor-level powerhouses. So how could a mere 5th Stage Initial Element Cultivator like Nu Tao survive?
Su Mu knew that a weak world like this one won’t allow him to summon his Martial Dao True Intent, but he never thought that it’ll be to this degree. If he went all out with the manifestation of his Martial Dao True Intent, the Heavenly Way would probably kill him before anything else could.
Since that was the case, Su Mu decided to not summon his Martial Dao True Intent unless necessary.
‘If the World is so opposed to me summoning my Martial Dao True Intent, what would happen if I summoned my 8th Level Sword Grand Dao? It’ll most likely damage this world’s foundation, making it collapse while killing me in the process. Well, it’s not like I can even summon my Grand Dao with how pitiful my cultivation is. I’ll die the moment I even try.’ Su Mu thought, turning towards Hu Mei’er, who was shocked out of her wits.
“B-Brother Su, what’s your real cultivation?” Hu Mei’er asked without even realizing it. At first, she thought that Su Mu was acting brave to buy her some time to escape, but what happened just now was something she never considered.
“Initial Element 3rd Stage. Let’s go.” Su Mu replied with a smile, picking Cheng Shao Feng’s corpse with his right hand.
‘Indeed, it doesn’t matter. If things are like this, meeting my elder sister shouldn’t be a problem.’ Hu Mei’er thought as a bright smile appeared on her face.
“Brother Su, let me help you.” Hu Mei’er said, taking Cheng Shao Feng’s body from Su Mu. After tying the corpse with a heavy stone, Hu Mei’er tossed it inside the river.
With that done, Su Mu and Hu Mei’er made their way back towards the Black Wind Trade Area before going their separate ways. Su Mu promised to see her in five days, which made Hu Mei’er very happy. As for Su Mu killing Cheng Shao Feng and Nu Tao? She couldn’t care less about those two. As far as she was concerned, she never met Cheng Shao Feng after he was defeated by Su Mu.
Not to mention that the power he showed made Hu Mei’er admire him even more, making his position higher than Jiao’er in her heart. Maybe he was even stronger than her sister? Hu Mei’er could no longer deny that possibility.
On his way home, Su Mu was wondering about the Heavenly Way of this small world. If he had any free time in the future, maybe he should refine this world as his own.
