The young girl was about the same age as Su Mu and the others, not much older, but when she walked, she swayed with a thousand charms, her chest undulating wildly, making people dizzy and disoriented.
At such a young age, she already had the air of a mature woman, though this air was not yet fully developed and seemed somewhat unnatural.
"Hu Meier!" Upon seeing this girl, Su Mu's expression changed involuntarily. His eyes involuntarily circled around her, and he swallowed hard.
If Su Mu was like this, Li Yuntian and the others were even worse.
Their eyes clung to Hu Meier's body like leeches, lingering on her well-proportioned figure, their breathing gradually becoming heavy, and their behavior becoming increasingly grotesque. Although people in the martial world were not bound by trivialities, a woman dressed like Hu Meier was extremely rare, especially since she was only a girl of fifteen or sixteen, with delicate skin and a body that had an immense allure.
Li Yuntian and the others were in the prime of their youth, with vigorous blood and energy. Seeing such a stimulating scene, their feelings were understandable.
The brazen gazes of the Lingxiao Pavilion disciples did not anger Hu Meier; instead, she seemed to enjoy it. She covered her mouth and giggled, "So, Little Brother Su knows me?"
Su Mu quickly coughed, forcing himself to look away, his face slightly red. "Of course I recognize you."
Cheng Shaofeng was the leader of the Fengyu Tower's Body Tempering Realm disciples, while Hu Meier was the leader of the Blood Battle Gang's Body Tempering Realm disciples. Her status was also extraordinary, being the youngest daughter of the Blood Battle Gang's leader.
However, her reputation had always been poor, and the Blood Battle Gang's leader, Hu Man, did not manage her, allowing her to wreak havoc outside. Despite her young age, she had countless followers.
It was just unknown why she was involved with Cheng Shaofeng today. Could it be that he had also become one of her lovers?
Thinking of this, Su Mu felt both envy and satisfaction. He envied Cheng Shaofeng for having such good fortune, and he was satisfied that Cheng Shaofeng had been tamed by a woman.
Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on Su Mu's face, and his gaze towards Cheng Shaofeng became somewhat contemptuous.
This gaze made Cheng Shaofeng very uncomfortable, especially since the Lingxiao Pavilion disciples' eyes were still circling around Hu Meier. Cheng Shaofeng stepped forward, blocking Hu Meier from their gazes.
This seemingly casual action made Hu Meier smile.
"Su Mu, make your people move aside," Cheng Shaofeng said with a dark face, not even bothering to be polite.
Su Mu sneered, "The road is wide, each to his own. Are we in your way by standing here?"
"Yes!" Cheng Shaofeng's face became even darker.
"What if I don't move?" Su Mu countered. The two had been at odds for a long time, and they knew each other's abilities well. Su Mu was not afraid of him.
"Little Brother Cheng, it's fine if Little Brother Su stands here. We can take a detour. No one will say anything about it," Hu Meier suddenly interjected, seemingly trying to defuse the situation, but in reality, she was fanning the flames.
Su Mu cursed her in his heart. This woman's intentions were indeed malicious. As a member of the Blood Battle Gang, she naturally wanted the Lingxiao Pavilion and the Fengyu Tower to fight to the death.
Cheng Shaofeng, hearing Hu Meier's words, became even more determined, sneering, "If you don't move, you'll regret it."
Determined to show off in front of Hu Meier, Cheng Shaofeng was not about to back down.
Hu Meier smiled, looking at the two with interest, then subtly stepped back a few steps.
"Try if you dare!" Su Mu sneered, and Li Yuntian and the others stepped forward, standing behind him.
"You asked for it." Cheng Shaofeng suddenly laughed, waving his hand, and shouted to his followers, "Attack!"
As soon as he spoke, Cheng Shaofeng rushed to Su Mu, throwing a punch at his face. Su Mu sneered and met it with a palm.
Palm and fist collided, and Su Mu was pushed back several steps before he could steady himself. Cheng Shaofeng, however, remained calm, not even swaying.
"Have you broken through to the Origin Opening Realm?" Su Mu's face changed drastically. In the clash, he felt the aura in Cheng Shaofeng's punch was much stronger than the faint aura in his own Body Tempering Ninth Layer, clearly the strength of someone who had broken through to the Origin Opening Realm.
Cheng Shaofeng laughed as he charged at Su Mu, "Su Mu, we started cultivating on the same day, but there are differences between people. From now on, you, Su Mu, can only follow in my footsteps, Cheng Shaofeng, and will never surpass me."
Su Mu's face turned gray, and he felt bitter. The feeling of being surpassed by Cheng Shaofeng was even more infuriating than being humiliated by Yang Kai. In an instant, Cheng Shaofeng was right in front of him. Su Mu, regaining his senses, did not dare to be careless, fully unleashing his Body Tempering Ninth Layer strength, but he still could not resist Cheng Shaofeng's attack.
Yang Kai had not yet reached the Black Wind Forest when he heard the sounds of a fight in the distance, mixed with Li Yuntian's angry curses and shouts, which sounded humiliating and bitter.
Listening for a moment, Yang Kai felt something was not right. Su Mu and his group seemed to be in trouble.
Noticing this, Yang Kai quickened his pace. When he reached the crossroads, he saw Su Mu, with a bruised face, lying on the ground, being beaten by a young man. Li Yuntian and the others were gathered around Su Mu, desperately trying to protect him, but to no avail. The other side had more people and was stronger overall. The Lingxiao Pavilion disciples were too busy defending themselves to save Su Mu.
"Do you submit?" Cheng Shaofeng punched Su Mu in the eye, splitting his eyelid.
"Submit your ass!" Su Mu spat blood onto Cheng Shaofeng's face.
"Do you submit?" Another punch landed, and Su Mu's cheek swelled.
"I submit... I submit to your ancestors for eighteen generations!" Su Mu panted, but his words were defiant.
"Do you submit?"
"Submit your grandmother's ass!"
Cheng Shaofeng did not say much to Su Mu, just punching and asking, "Do you submit?" Su Mu's response was always crude and abusive, making Cheng Shaofeng's punches heavier and more violent.
Yang Kai stood nearby, watching quietly. He noticed that Su Mu had some backbone. Looking at Su Mu now, he saw a reflection of himself, facing an unbeatable enemy, covered in injuries but refusing to give in.
This was not foolishness, but a kind of persistence!
Yang Kai did not intend to intervene. Su Mu had offended someone, and was now being punished. He had no close relationship with Su Mu and even had a grudge against him, so there was no need to get involved.
But Su Mu's unyielding spirit made him somewhat sympathetic!
Cheng Shaofeng was also tired. The Su Mu under him, though bruised and bleeding, still had a look of disdain and contempt in his eyes.
Hu Meier interjected again, "Little Brother Cheng, let him go. Little Brother Su has some backbone. I like people like that."
Hearing this, Su Mu turned his head and cursed, "Bitch!"
Cheng Shaofeng sneered, "Has backbone? I like it too!"
As he spoke, he picked up a stone from the ground and aimed it at Su Mu's head.
