The Supervisory Department of the Western Qin had set up branches in all the provinces and capitals of the empire, which were run by the supervisor of the branch. Between the supervisor and the supervisor of the branch, there was the patrol inspector, who also held a high position and played a similar role as an imperial envoy. He was responsible for supervising the special case, and the supervisor of the branch had to fully cooperate with him when handling the case.
Lu Lizi was in his fifties. He was short, ugly, and dark-skinned, which was the kind of image that could easily give children nightmares. However, his cultivation was profound. Decades ago, he was already a peerless expert in the Natural Realm. In the entire martial arts world of the Western Qin Empire, he could barely be regarded as a famous figure.
Because of his passion for power, Lu Lizi was not the strongest among the 36 patrol inspectors of the headquarters of the Supervisory Department, and his strength was even a little behind, but his status was not low. This time, he was sent to Chang 'an to supervise the disappearance of Supervisor Xu and the murder of the son of Lord Zhenxi, which was also at his own initiative.
After a little investigation, Supervisor Xu's disappearance was related to Li Mu.
As for the death of Qin Lin, the son of Lord Zhenxi, there was no need to investigate at all. It was Li Mu's doing.
When the two cases were combined, Li Mu could not get away with it.
According to the procedure of the Supervisory Department, they only needed to inform the local government, and then the local government would come forward to arrest Li Mu, hand him over to them, and escort him to the capital to be rewarded. Then, the case would be finished.
Following that rule, Lu Lizi directly informed the magistrate of the prefecture, hoping to arrest Li Mu. After all, Li Mu was just a Natural Expert. With the power of the Chang 'an government, they could easily take him down. So, Lu Lizi did not take it too seriously. The only thing that made him curious was how on earth a 15-year-old Natural Expert was born. He planned to interrogate Li Mu slowly on the way to the capital after he was arrested and escorted.
However, the response from the magistrate's office made Lu Lizi feel both surprised and angry.
Saying that the military force was not enough was actually an excuse.
As the patrol inspector of the headquarters of the Supervisory Department, he did not get enough respect from the magistrate of Chang 'an.
That was a kind of contempt for the Supervisory Department.
However, Lu Lizi, who was in a fit of rage, did not seem to have any way to deal with Li Gang, the magistrate of Chang 'an. After all, they were from two different systems. Moreover, as a Commander of Border-provinces, Li Gang controlled all the military, political, and financial forces of the entire Chang' an. He was a man with real power and was not easy to deal with.
"Let's catch Li Mu first. Humph, when the time comes, let him get involved with Li Gang. Even if he can't make Li Gang suffer a setback, he can at least give Li Gang some trouble."
Lu Lizi made up his mind. With a sinister smile, he ordered his men to capture Li Mu.
When the Monitoring Division took action, unless they encountered the most vicious and evil people, the average martial artist would not dare to resist.
However, the news soon came that Li Mu was nowhere to be found in the whole city.
"Then let's go to the Holy House. Isn't it said that Li Mu has a lover in the Holy House? Invite that prostitute to the Supervisory Department. Let's see if he will come to rescue her. "Lu Lizi pounded the table and ordered.
He sent one of his trusted subordinates from the Supervisory Department in Qin City to the Holy House with twenty subordinates of the Supervisory Department.
…
…
It was the height of autumn. The sky was clear and the air was cool.
The military cemetery was quiet and tranquil.
After entering the Natural Realm, Li Mu felt unprecedentedly energetic and in excellent condition. After a night and a half of cultivation, he did not feel tired at all. Instead, he was full of energy.
After thinking for a while, he simply continued to cultivate.
Previously, he could not push the Zhenwu Boxing to the fourth style because he only cultivated the form but not the spirit. Now that he had entered the Natural Realm, he had both the form and the spirit. Now that he was in excellent condition, he wanted to try it again.
The Lifting Pole Style, the first style, the second style, the third style …
That wisp of Natural qi was running rapidly in his body along with the movements of the Zhenwu Boxing.
Li Mu did not rush to master the fourth style immediately. Instead, he performed the first three styles over and over again, adjusting his physical condition. Like playing on a swing, he accumulated strength bit by bit and pushed his spirit and physical strength to higher peaks.
He felt as if his whole body was burning and hot.
His Internal Qi Field spread out involuntarily, forming an invisible pressure within a hundred meters of his body. That strand of Natural Qi, which was as thin as a strand of hair, crazily swam in his Eight Extraordinary Meridians, like the stars and the moon.
"Right at this moment …"
Li Mu shouted in a low voice. After performing the third style, the Cracking Sky, he immediately changed his movement. His arms seemed to be closed and closed, as if there were no joints. They moved in an incredible trajectory and drew a perfect circle, as if drawing Tai Chi. Then, the trajectory of his hands became blurred, and clouds appeared in front of him.
Crack, crack, crack!
Li Mu's arm joints made a series of thunderous sounds.
Soon, the sound spread to his whole body.
The bones in his body seemed to be undergoing some sort of rearrangement or recombination. It was extremely strange.
In the end, Li Mu only felt a boom in his mind, as if some gate in his body had been opened, and new power surged. Like a flood breaking the dam, it instantly spread to every corner and every cell in his body.
He finally mastered the fourth style of the Zhenwu Boxing, the Grasping the Bird's Tail.
"My guess is right. The reason why I couldn't master the fourth style before was that I didn't cultivate the internal qi. Although the Zhenwu Boxing is a body-connecting skill, each style contains the true meaning of martial arts. So, without the help of internal qi, it's impossible to master it."
Li Mu was very excited.
He could feel that his physical strength had been improved to an incredible level.
The Zhenwu Boxing was a body-refining skill, so after mastering the fourth style, the improvement of strength was inevitable.
Li Mu felt that now he could lift a mountain, break a river with a punch, and even kill an expert at the peak of the Master Realm with a breath.
It was a little scary and a little exaggerated.
But compared with those peerless talents who dominated the universe, it was nothing.
Because the old faker once said that those talented Holy Virgins in the universe were unparalleled. They could sink a large piece of land with one punch and flatten a mountain hundreds of miles with one kick. And many interstellar experts and old devils could even crush a planet with their physical strength. For example, the Imperial God Emperor that the old faker admired most, who set up tactical deployments with stars as the seeds, had already reached the peak realm.
Li Mu carefully felt it.
The first three styles of the Zhenwu Boxing all contained the true meaning of martial arts, such as the body-lightening skill.
As for the true meaning of martial arts contained in the fourth style, Grasping the Bird's Tail, Li Mu didn't seem to feel it for the time being.
But he was not anxious. Instead, he stood still and performed the Zhenwu Boxing over and over again. When he reached the fourth style, he slowed down, concentrated his spiritual force, and even opened the Third Eye to carefully feel the state of his body and the fluctuations of power between heaven and earth.
Gradually, Li Mu made some discoveries.
"The fourth style, Grasping the Bird's Tail, is a defensive move …"
He had some enlightenment.
As he continued to perform it, his body was constantly transformed, especially his arms. His skin, bones, muscles, blood vessels, blood marrow, and so on were constantly strengthened by this style. Li Mu could even feel the strength of his shoulders and arms, so they were more terrifying than the other parts of his body.
"It seems that the body-refining effect of Grasping the Bird's Tail is entirely on the arms. That's strange. The first three styles were used to temper the whole body. " “
As Li Mu practiced, he felt a little surprised.
When he reached the fourth style of the Zhenwu Boxing, there seemed to be some changes.
As his internal qi ran and his qi and blood surged, Li Mu gradually found that when he performed the fourth style, his arms were faintly bulging as if they were inflated. His palms, fingers, forearms, upper arms, and even shoulders all swelled. His arms became thicker, his muscles bulged like rocks, and his veins and blood vessels protruded like pythons, winding on his arms.
It felt like Popeye had eaten spinach.
"Damn it, could it be that I've cultivated a Qilin Arm?"
Li Mu was puzzled.
He could sense that after his arms expanded, the strength of his arms had increased by several times. With a single palm strike, even a mountain would be smashed to pieces.
In this state, when he performed the Grasping the Bird's Tail, he had a new experience. Not only was the power more extraordinary, but it also stirred up a large area of turbulent flow of heaven and earth directly in front of him. Light spots emerged and were produced between his palms and fingers, looming as if to form a pattern, but it was not real. Finally, it formed a huge energy vortex, like a black hole, which seemed to be able to swallow everything.
"No, no, it doesn't seem to be a complete defense, but a sign of a counterattack. It absorbs the enemy's strength and bounces it back … This is the Star Shifting Method of the Southern Murong Family in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. It turns out that this is the true meaning of martial arts contained in the fourth style of the Zhenwu Boxing." “
Li Mu suddenly understood.
The energy vortex of Grasping the Bird's Tail could swallow the enemy's attack power, transform it, and then counterattack.
It was really a damn counterattack.
This was simply a magic skill that could make a counterattack with a higher level.
Li Mu immediately laughed unkindly.
If the timing was right, Grasping the Bird's Tail could definitely kill some strong enemies.
Now that Chang 'an was in a strange situation, this kind of true meaning of martial arts was really appropriate.
"Now it can be proved that the Xiantian Skill and the Zhenwu Boxing complement each other and can help each other. They are the most basic and the most profound methods of the great Dao. No wonder the old faker forced me to practice these two Cultivation Methods for more than ten years. As for other Taoist magic arts, tactical deployments, incantations, and so on, he just casually talked about them. These two Cultivation Methods are the foundation."
The higher Li Mu's cultivation was, the more he comprehended.
At this time, it was already dark.
As a matter of fact, Li Mu had been practicing in the military cemetery for a day and a night.
