Su Changkong, at this moment, only wanted to send Mu Jin away. He knew that Mu Jin had come for the Demon Monster, and if he admitted it, he reckoned there would be more troublesome matters ahead. Hence, Su Changkong furrowed his brows and said, “If he dares to appear before me again, he will surely not return! However, since that night, I have been in seclusion within the Giant Whale Gang, and he has not reappeared! I heard that Demon Monster was slain?”Su Changkong did not admit that the Demon Monster was killed by him, and Sikong Huang and Sikong Zhan, who knew the inside story, naturally did not say so either.
“Although I also think you couldn’t kill that Demon Monster, please do cooperate.” Mu Jin said calmly, “That Demon Monster killed Gong Ba that night, and it’s highly likely that you were its next target, but a few days later, I found the Demon Monster dead on a desolate mountain. The person who killed him was a Martial Artist skilled in Blade Technique. Although you don’t know Blade Technique, I think you’re a prime suspect.”
“Hmm? He went to that desolate mountain?”
Startled by what he heard, Su Changkong became alarmed. He hadn’t told anyone about that desolate mountain, so how had Mu Jin been there? How did he arrive at that location?
However, the way Mu Jin interrogated him as if questioning a criminal was infuriating. Sikong Huang could no longer restrain herself and said, “Mr. Mu, my father hasn’t gone out since he was injured that day. If he truly had killed the Demon Monster, my father would not deny it. Moreover, if my father did kill the Demon Monster, it would have been an act of eradicating evil for the people. Why must you press the matter with such an aggressive attitude?”
Mu Jin did not even glance at Sikong Huang. He stared at Su Changkong, “It would be one thing if you had killed the Demon Monster, but the person who killed it took something they shouldn’t have! I need to retrieve it, and you had better cooperate!”
Su Changkong now had a rough understanding of Mr. Mu’s objective. He was not investigating who killed the Demon Monster out of concern for the creature’s life but rather for the Crystal Core inside the Demon Monster!
The Crystal Core inside the Demon Monster seemed to be a very precious treasure, which Su Changkong had stashed away, and Mu Jin’s purpose for coming here was for the Demon Monster’s Crystal Core!
Moreover, it appeared that Mu Jin had arrived in Ink Forest Prefecture City long ago. He didn’t intervene when the Demon Monster wreaked havoc, but after Su Changkong had slain the creature, he emerged, wanting to seize the spoils of battle that belonged to him?
“How would you like me to cooperate?” asked Su Changkong, expressionless, as the anger in his heart began to accumulate.
Mu Jin directly took out a bottle of Pill Medicine from his sleeve and said to Su Changkong, “This is the Truth Spilling Pill. After swallowing it, you’ll be in a groggy state for a while and will answer some simple questions without any harm to your body. Take one, I ask and you answer. If you truly didn’t kill that Demon Monster, I’ll leave.”
This so-called Truth Spilling Pill was, in fact, a kind of intoxicant. After taking it, one’s mind would become clouded, and they would answer questions posed by others involuntarily, of course, limited to simple affirmatives or negatives, rather than spilling detailed secrets of Cultivation Techniques or the like.
Mu Jin had previously approached other Martial Artists skilled in Blade Techniques using this method to determine if they were responsible.
“And if I choose not to cooperate?” Su Changkong asked, the surge of anger inside him nearly reaching its peak. Mu Jin was too arrogant!
Mu Jin let out a light chuckle, “The other Martial Artists from Ink Forest Prefecture City whom I approached mostly did not cooperate, but in the end, they had to comply, and they suffered for nothing. I advise Gang Leader Sikong to cooperate!”
“Fine,” Su Changkong said with a smile, but the chilling look in his eyes was extreme. It was clear that Mu Jin had no intention of backing down, and how could Su Changkong let himself be sliced as he pleased? If that were the case…
“Rather than asking me whether I killed that Demon Monster, why don’t you go and ask him yourself!”
Su Changkong suddenly made his move, rising from his seat, his right fist harshly smashing forward, carrying a roaring howl with it!
Indeed, it was he who had slain the Demon Monster, which was an act of removing a scourge for the people, but faced with Mu Jin’s interrogative and aggressive attitude, he resorted to direct action!
“Boom!”
Mu Jin seemed not to have recoiled. The punch landed solidly on Mu Jin’s face.
The chair Mu Jin was sitting on was crushed by an immense force, and Mu Jin himself was sent flying backward. However, strangely, as he flew toward the wall, his speed decreased, and he eventually landed on the ground as lightly as a leaf.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
The ground where he stood issued a cracking sound, and the air around was filled with a whistling noise!
Mu Jin was actually unharmed, seemingly having deflected the force of the punch with some technique!
“Mr. Mu… extremely fearsome!” Sikong Huang and Sikong Zhan were both shocked beyond measure. Mu Jin had withstood a punch from Su Changkong without a scratch. With such footwork and Martial Arts Skills, a second like him could not be found in Ink Forest Prefecture City.
Mu Jin landed on the ground, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, “Good! You’d rather face the penalty than drink a toast! Let’s show you how a frog in a well can’t compare to a true powerhouse!”
Mu Jin had known before arriving that the Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang always acted imperiously and wouldn’t cooperate with him, but no matter, in this world the weak can only follow the orders of those with stronger fists!
“Divine Wood Palm, Ten Thousand Woods Decay and Prosper!”
Mu Jin suddenly moved, appearing before Su Changkong like a white ghost, nearly invisible to the naked eye. His right palm struck out, a faint green light spewing from the palm, exuding an aura of decay.
Giant Whale Skill, Endless Furious Sea!
Su Changkong’s Qi and Blood circulated, his fist’s power condensed. His tall frame stepped forward, his right fist striking out as fiercely as a giant maelstrom of an angry sea, growing stronger against resistance!
