I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

After stripping Marquis Xia Wu of all his belongings and ensuring that the last bit of value from him had been completely extracted,

Xu Lingjun looked at the corpse of Marquis Xia Wu and fell into deep thought.

What to do...

Marquis Xia Wu tried to kill him, but ended up getting killed instead.

With Han Yun City to testify for him, it seemed perfectly normal... but...

"Best not to let this matter spread!"

Han Yun City walked over and kicked the bare corpse of Marquis Xia Wu, which Xu Lingjun had emptied, into the icy pit he had previously created.

With a splash...

Countless Headhunter Piranhas surged up madly, tearing into the corpse.

Moments later, even the blood was completely devoured.

Xu Lingjun watched Han Yun City's actions and asked, "Why?"

A very strange feeling.

Perhaps it was due to having gone through a life-and-death struggle and then cooperating, but Xu Lingjun now felt an inexplicable closeness when looking at Han Yun City, as if facing a comrade who had fought side by side for years.

Not right...

It's not that I feel this way, but that he might feel this way towards me now.

Xu Lingjun understood that feeling well, that when someone extends goodwill towards you, it's easy to develop a liking for them in return.

Though Han Yun City still behaved quite rudely towards him, that very rudeness surprisingly made Xu Lingjun feel somewhat at ease.

"Simple."

Han Yun City said, "Do you know the background of this Marquis Xia Wu?"

"What, I hit Zhong Dawei and now he comes, and after hitting him, is there another?"

Xu Lingjun said speechlessly, "I've only ever heard 'forever a stream of descendants', but I've never heard of hitting the young brings out the old — and those olds endless too!"

Han Yun City replied, "There's no one behind Marquis Xia Wu, but he was once a prized disciple of the Cuowu Sect. Only because his father was an official in the Great Xia Empire at the time, did he join the military by coincidence and gradually rose up through military achievements. Now he's the director at the Central City Martial Mansion, slowly distancing from Cuowu Sect, but because of Central City Martial Mansion's protection and how generous Xia Wu is with money, feeding several key figures in Cuowu Sect well, they just turn a blind eye."

Xu Lingjun asked, "You mean, if the news of me killing him gets out, Cuowu Sect would avenge him?"

Han Yun City shook his head, "The Sect people are just a bunch of freaks, fiercely protective and extremely proud. They may not care about Xia Wu's death, but they surely care that a Profound Realm Martial Artist from Cuowu Sect, Xia Wu, died at the hands of an unknown small Huichuan Martial Artist. Plus, Xia Wu didn't skimp with money to smooth the way in Cuowu Sect, you clearly disrupted some people's financial paths by killing him, leading to inevitable trouble for you."

He looked over to where Xia Wu's body had sunk and said, "Might as well keep it like this — why did Xia Wu dare to kill you here? It's because here, no one knows what exactly happened. We never met Xia Wu. My wounds were caused by you, and your blood by me... We met, fought, and both ended in mutual defeat, that's it, simple. Xia Wu? Who's that, we don't know him."

"I see. That works too."

Xu Lingjun looked at the phone in his hand, thinking how the relationship between Xia Wu and the Zhong Group obviously couldn't see the light, and even if it did, it wasn't him who killed Zhong Dawei, nobody would think he did it.

For now, keep it hidden.

When, in the future, even if people find out, my wings will have grown, and that Cuowu Sect won't be able to bother me anymore.

"Alright, many thanks for your reminder; otherwise, I might unknowingly provoke strong enemies."

"I just don't want to get involved with those mad dogs."

Han Yun City gave a faint hum, saying, "After all, with your strength alone, killing Xia Wu is simply impossible, and there are marks on his body that I made — I can't escape either. Though I'm not afraid of Cuowu Sect, I don't want to provoke a pack of mad dogs for no reason."

Xu Lingjun said, "Anyway, thank you."

Han Yun City gazed intensely at Xu Lingjun, saying word by word, "If you really want to thank me, if you have the time in the future, how about stripping off the gear and having some bare-knuckle fights with me, fair and square... leaning on protective gear's influence only? Surely, without it, you won't turn out to be nothing?"

Xu Lingjun replied, "The last person to say that is still lying in the hospital recovering... really, honestly."

"Good, I like your confidence, wish I could have a fight with you right now."

Han Yun City clenched his fist.

Instantly, the blood around him transformed into a Blood Gun.

He said, "It's a pity you used 'Qiantian Gang Qi', must have suffered a lot of damage; once you've recuperated, I'm waiting for a fight with you at your full strength."

Xu Lingjun was about to say that he was in excellent condition, thanks to chatting, his injuries had recovered eighty to ninety percent.

But just as he was about to speak...

The two, who were at odds, suddenly froze.

Xu Lingjun had a reminder from Xiaoya, and for Han Yun City, no doubt, he'd been open with Xu Lingjun before, saying his five senses were far beyond normal.

Both turned their heads simultaneously.

Then, they looked at the figure appearing amidst the snowstorm.

Tall and seemingly quite handsome, especially compared to Xu Lingjun, who was covered in blood stains below... in terms of demeanor and appearance, not as impressive.

But compared to Han Yun City, with barely a good piece of flesh and full of intense viciousness all over, he looked much better.

Zhou Mu!

Xu Lingjun recognized him. Liu Zhiyuan had even privately warned him that if facing Han Yun City and feeling unsure, he could seek cooperation with Zhou Mu... Zhou Mu wasn't just famous for nothing; having assisted in capturing the Cosmic Pirate King, his strength shouldn't be much less than Han Yun City's.

Just didn't expect that while things here had reconciled with Han Yun City, he would appear so abruptly.

Xu Lingjun couldn't help but glance at the icy pit that had been punched earlier... thinking it fortunate he'd arrived not a moment sooner; otherwise, he might have seen Xia Wu's corpse.

Han Yun City evidently also considered that recent possibility.

Both faces darkened simultaneously.

In fact, in Zhou Mu's eyes, both Han Yun City and Xu Lingjun were smeared all over with blood; coupled with the chaotic battle traces around, it was clear the two had just engaged in a life-and-death struggle, exhausted both their resources, nearly drained of their strength.

Yet, even so, they still stood defiantly against each other, bodies tense, clearly maintaining utmost vigilance.

Zhou Mu slowly squinted his eyes...

Astonished that Xu Lingjun could battle Han Yun City to such an extent.

And secretly regretting, had he arrived a bit earlier and lent Xu Lingjun a hand, perhaps Han Yun City would have already been brought down.

Grandfather was too lenient, merely saying to disrupt Han Yun City's plans, not realizing as long as he lives, there will be one plan after another; eradication is the truly best approach.

Especially seeing Xu Lingjun so heavily wounded by Han Yun City, it might be possible to eliminate this threat as well.

Just thinking about missing such a good opportunity, he felt like he lost billions.

Still, now with the two facing off, he might still have a chance.

Thinking this, Zhou Mu showed a friendly smile on his face.
