Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

Chen Yuan's body was taken away by the team members to wrap things up.

Su Tu briefly explained the situation, but of course, did not mention the details of the fight. The martial artists were smart enough not to ask.

Peeping Branches killing Falling Leaves is a hunt that transcends life dimensions, involving countless unknown secrets.

They were all Li Hu's trusted aides, well aware of what they should and shouldn't know. Martial artists cultivate their heart and spirit; although not everyone is wise, they all understood this much.

After killing Chen Yuan this time, Su Tu confirmed one thing: the 'connection' with the Chen family would not be easily severed.

Whether it was the Immortal Robe or the inheritance related to Xingtian, they both deeply intrigued Su Tu.

"By the way, where's Brother Hu?"

At this moment, Su Tu realized Li Hu had yet to appear. Given Brother Hu's character, he should have come to find him by now.

Hearing Su Tu's words, one martial artist's expression turned somewhat strange...

....

After learning that Su Tu was safe and sound, Li Hu briefly instructed his team members.

Then, he went alone to the Tingfeng Martial Arts Hall.

By this time, the formerly tranquil and undisturbed Daoist temple was stained with blood, cries of agony echoing throughout the martial hall.

Just at the entrance, several disciples lay dead with their necks twisted.

In the deepest part of the martial hall, Li Hu gripped a man's neck with one hand, his immense strength leaving the man powerless to struggle.

The man strained to speak, "Li Hu, please calm down... Chen Yuan.. has already been expelled.. from the martial hall. What he did.. has nothing to do with Tingfeng Martial Arts Hall."

Upon hearing this martial artist's words, Li Hu's lips curled up, the pale teeth reflecting a chilling light. Behind him, the blood-drenched dark panther still held a martial artist in its mouth, the person's life or death unknown, their body completely stained red with blood.

"Nothing to do with you? Do you really believe what you're saying?"

"Just expelled from the sect and immediately ran to find my junior apprentice. Do you honestly think there's no hidden agenda here?"

"My senior sister was right, I've been too complacent these past few years. Have you all forgotten how I earned my title??"

Li Hu's voice was low and hoarse, each word spoken with an unimaginable, profound murderous intent.

If Su Tu's killing intent was like the vast ocean, then Li Hu's was like a falling star that obscured the heavens and crushed everything in its path, annihilating all life it touched!!

The weaker students and martial artists had no chance of standing under this overwhelming murderous aura. One by one, their eyes rolled back, and foam streamed from their mouths as they passed out cold.

The martial artist of the same Falling Leaves Realm in Li Hu's hand was no more significant than an ant.

"Bite!"

With Li Hu's words, the blood-colored dark panther behind him suddenly exerted force, emitting a series of chilling chewing sounds.

The unconscious Falling Leaf Martial Artist was savagely devoured by the dark panther, his soul returning to the underworld.

"Li Hu.. no! Your Excellency Mountain Monarch... this truly has nothing to do with us.. The Chen family demanded Master expel... Chen Yuan from the sect.. and to remove Chen Yuan from the family register. As for why he dared to do this... I honestly don't know!!"

The martial artist trembled all over, his complexion paling. Watching his deceased, evenly-split fellow-in-arms, an indescribable fear filled his heart.

At this moment, he finally recalled Li Hu's terrifying nature. Though they shared the Falling Leaves Realm, compared to Li Hu, they were utterly insignificant.

Because... the man before him bore the title of Tushan Monarch!!!

Aside from the initial title, martial artists who enter the Falling Leaves Realm can gain titles through various certifications and challenges. A title is not only an honor but also a hidden blessing and a testament of power.

The number of titles varies with each realm, and the Falling Leaves Realm has only 200 titles available, with countless Falling Leaf Martial Artists competing for them.

And Li Hu possessed one such title, being the most bloodthirsty and rampant slaughterer within the Falling Leaves Realm, known as Tushan Monarch!!

No one knows how many Li Hu had killed; it was only known that when he made his appearance, none of those he fought survived.

There are rumors that Li Hu could have broken through realms long ago, yet he hasn't, for unknown reasons. Though he remains within the Falling Leaves Realm, his killing prowess far surpasses the ordinary Fourth Realm.

This is because he once tore apart a Fourth Realm Martial Artist in front of a large crowd!

His words left an indelible shadow in the hearts of many Falling Leaf Martial Artists.

"Martial Dao is a way of killing; there is no distinction of rank, only life or death."

However, over the years, Li Hu had subdued himself significantly, and many had mellowed their memory of his ruthlessness, assuming his time at the Public Security Bureau had dulled his edge.

Yet at this moment, stimulated by blood, this martial artist recalled that once terrifying star of disaster.

"The Chen family..."

"Someone from the Chen family will naturally come looking."

"It's just that you won't see it."

Li Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice deep.

Crack~

With a squeeze of his palm, the man's head flopped and detached.

"To pull weeds, one must remove the roots."

His gaze swept over the unconscious students, and the blood-colored dark panther, sensing something, let out a long howl. A series of dark red figures appeared behind it.

Among them, one figure was precisely the person just torn apart by the dark panther.

The most vicious among tigers is the panther, its victims unable to enter reincarnation, becoming... ferocious spirits!

Those vengeful spirits looked at each of the students, cruel smiles on their faces.

"You followed the wrong person; your master was a dog for others, bad luck for you all."

"Originally, I wasn't supposed to act; after all, Senior Sister wanted Junior Brother to see more blood, saying it would benefit him in the future."
