The Reversal of Heaven Begins with The Smiling, Proud Wanderer

"receive."

Lin Mu silently recited in his heart.

Instantly, a vast and boundless flow of information flooded into his mind. He understood and mastered countless mysteries, energy flow routes, moves, and the profound and unfathomable Daoist principles of the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

With his extraordinary ability to "remember immortality at a glance," Lin Mu instantly mastered this peerless martial art.

He sensed it slightly and realized that with his current cultivation level, he was capable of fully unleashing "Five Fingers Move the Universe".

However, to evolve a stronger "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Hand", one needs to reach the stellar level to barely support its consumption, and to fully unleash its power, one needs to reach an even higher level.

"Nice move."

Lin Mu nodded in satisfaction.

This "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger" is fierce and powerful, making up for his current lack of a strong single-target attack.

He glanced at the group of people who were still in a daze and said calmly, "Let's go, let's wipe out the other concessions."

"Yes! Commander!"

The four men, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Yes, sir."

Chapter 127: The Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger

The outer perimeter of the concession was already heavily guarded, with tense faces visible behind barbed wire and sandbags.

The firelight reflected a cold luster onto the gun barrel.

The tremors and the golden beam of light that shot into the sky from the Center for Research on Normal Humans had already alarmed the various forces entrenched in Shanghai.

British troops, Indian police officers with red turbans, and armed personnel from the World Trade Organization were all on high alert, quickly constructing makeshift defenses. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and fear.

All the gun barrels were pointed directly at the wide road leading to the concession, the direction from which Lin Mu and his group were about to appear.

"Stop! If you come any closer, we'll shoot!"

A pale-faced man in a British military officer's uniform shouted in broken, dry Chinese. He tried his best to maintain his authority, but his voice trembled uncontrollably at the end.

His palms, gripping the pistol, were covered in cold sweat.

He had served in the military for over a decade and had never seen such a bizarre sight.

The five men walked calmly, facing hundreds of gun barrels poised to fire, as if strolling down the street, treating the steel fortress before them as nothing.

Lin Mu's steps never faltered for a moment. The hem of his black robe swayed slightly with his steps. He didn't even bother to glance at the formidable enemy lines, as if they were nothing more than insignificant mosquitoes and flies.

Enraged by this extreme contempt, the officer's fear was finally replaced by a hysterical command: "Fire! Fire! Full power!"

"Bang bang bang-!"

“Da da da da—!”

At the command, the volley of rifle fire and the furious roar of machine guns instantly shattered the tranquility of dusk. The dense rain of bullets, like a storm of scorching steel, poured out like water, instantly engulfing the figures of Lin Mu and his four companions.

Standing behind Lin Mu, A Xing's pupils contracted, and the surging energy within him, "883," was about to erupt subconsciously, ready to unleash the Tathagata Palm.

However, just as he was about to unleash his inner strength, he saw Lin Mu in front of him simply raise his right hand casually.

next moment.

All the bullets that were unleashed seemed to hit an invisible barrier in the void three zhang away from Lin Mu's body, and suddenly lost all kinetic energy.

The sharp bullet seemed to be gripped tightly by countless invisible hands, hovering eerily in mid-air!

The countless brass bullets remained eerily still in the air, forming a real barrage.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The fierce expressions on the soldiers' faces froze instantly, then turned into extreme astonishment, and then into a deep-seated fear.

Their mouths were agape, but no sound came out; their worldview was utterly shattered at that moment.

"Give it back to you."

Lin Mu's mind stirred slightly.

In an instant, all the hovering bullets shot back along their original paths with incredible accuracy, at a speed several times faster than when they came!

"Puff-puff-!"

A series of muffled thuds of flesh being pierced rang out, accompanied by brief but shrill screams.

Blood splattered everywhere, blooming cruelly on the front lines of defense.

In the blink of an eye, the once-solid defensive line crumbled instantly, as if swept away by an invisible scythe of death.

Soldiers fell in droves, their deaths gruesome.

Even more horrifying was that the weapons that had fallen to the ground—rifles, machine guns, and pistols—seemed to come alive, all floating up in a neat row above Lin Mu's head, like soldiers being inspected.

The cold muzzle of the gun automatically turned and aimed at the armed personnel behind them who were already terrified.

"A devil! He is a devil from the East!"

"God! Save us!"

The soldiers in the rear completely broke down, letting out desperate cries, throwing down their weapons in a rush, and fleeing for their lives, wishing they had two more legs.

"I surrender, please don't kill me."

“According to the Geneva Convention, prisoners of war should be treated humanely.”

Some people tried to run away, but found their legs wouldn't obey them. They either begged for mercy or cited the Geneva Conventions.

"I didn't sign the Geneva Convention, and when have you robbers ever complied with it?"

"You don't follow the rules yourself, yet you demand that others follow them. You hypocrite deserve to die a horrible death!"

Lin Mu's face was ashen, his eyes calm and still.

A contract is meant to be torn up.

The greatest respect you can show to your enemy is to exterminate them completely!

Lin Mu moved his mind again, and the floating guns spat out tongues of fire, performing precise, automated bursts of fire.

Screams, pleas for mercy, and sporadic gunshots eventually blended together before falling silent again.

At the entrance to the concession, not a single enemy remained standing; only a scene of devastation and cold corpses remained.

Lin Mu stared indifferently at the scene before him, his pupils unmoved.

His long campaigns and constant travels had long since made him accustomed to killing.

Ah Xing, Coolie Qiang, the tailor, and Fried Dough Ghost followed closely behind him, their awe reaching its peak as they gazed at the figure in front of them that seemed capable of supporting the heavens and the earth.

In their eyes, this was far beyond human capability, almost like something from a god or demon!

The group continued their journey deeper into the concession, as if walking on flat ground.

Occasionally, a few soldiers who didn't believe in the danger, or those who hid in the crowd and thought they had some extraordinary abilities, would try to snipe or fight back, but Lin Mu didn't need to take action himself.

With his strength greatly increased, Ah Xing casually waved his hand, unleashing a burst of energy that sent the attacker flying.

Or perhaps the three heroes of the stronghold worked in perfect harmony, their fists, feet, and staffs flashing, instantly killing the rebels on the spot.

Their methods were equally ruthless and decisive, and along the way, they added many more corpses to their path.

Finally, they arrived at the heart of the concession and stood before the most magnificent building, a symbol of the pinnacle of colonial power.

Here, the last remaining force of resistance gathered. The sandbag fortifications were built even higher, more than one heavy machine gun was mounted, and even two tanks were rumbling, their massive cannons aimed intently at Lin Mu as he slowly approached.

Lin Mu stopped in his tracks.

He looked up, gazing at the magnificent Gothic building, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Today, he will begin to completely erase the century-long humiliation of the Dragon Kingdom from this very moment.

This time, he did not use the Sky Shuttle, but slowly raised his right hand and extended one index finger.

Perfect, I'll use you guys to test my new moves.

A desolate, ancient, and extremely domineering aura suddenly emanated from his body, like a ferocious beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years suddenly awakening.

The surrounding light seemed to dim in fear, and the air became heavy and viscous, as if it could not bear the destructive power that was about to erupt.

"Bang! Bang!"

The tank fired first, and two shells shot out, but Lin Mu's metal domain changed their direction, sending them flying to the sides of the road. The bullets were also automatically deflected.

"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger..."

Lin Mu ignored the stubborn attacks and muttered softly, as if chanting some ancient incantation.

At the tip of his raised finger, a golden light began to condense, causing anyone who glanced at it to feel a tremor in their soul and a great terror in their heart.

"...Half a Finger - Shaking Heaven and Earth!"

He pointed lightly at the building in front of him.

Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, the scorching golden true energy, as hot as molten lava, poured out from his fingertips like a burst dam, soaring straight into the sky.

The true energy gathered wildly in the sky, eventually transforming into half of an enormous golden finger.

This giant golden finger is twenty feet long, as if it has traveled from the mythical era. Its entire body has a thick, gilded gold color, as if it were cast from real gold. The joints are distinct and lifelike.

On the giant finger were engraved countless complex and mysterious runes, full of primal energy. They flowed slowly, containing violent energy capable of destroying the world.

Although it was only half a finger, the power it emitted truly shook this world!

Compared to Ah Xing's all-out attack with the Tathagata Palm, its power is many times more terrifying!

"Om~"

The void trembled violently, emitting a hum that seemed to groan under immense pressure.

The severed golden finger, like a meteor from outer space, carried a violent current of energy and supreme will that could crush everything, relentlessly crushing towards the magnificent building that symbolized power!

This scene was truly horrifying, exceeding everyone's wildest imagination.

Whether it was the soldiers trembling behind the fortifications or the citizens peering out in fear from afar, they were all so stunned by this miracle that they forgot to think, their minds going completely blank.

Those foreign devils and some traitors who were used to kneeling were now terrified, their faces pale, their bodies trembling like leaves, some even with their crotches soaked and collapsed to the ground.

Faced with such immense power of nature, their guns, cannons, sturdy tanks, and proud civilization all appear so laughable and insignificant, so fragile and vulnerable.

A giant golden finger landed.

"Boom——!!!"

A deafening roar, like thunder from the heavens, reverberated from the top of the building, its sound waves rolling and spreading in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying energy that erupted was like a destructive hurricane, sweeping wildly in all directions!

The sturdy building, constructed of massive stones and steel bars, collapsed from its foundation to its roof.

Bricks, steel bars, glass, human bodies... along with the two tanks that tried to turn and escape, as well as all the fortifications and personnel around them, were all shattered into dust by the golden light and violent energy!

A strong wind blew, and dust filled the sky, leaving only a shockingly huge sinkhole in the place.

The power of a single finger is terrifying!

Lin Mu remained expressionless as he continued forward, his footsteps treading on the scorching earth, his gaze sweeping over the colonial buildings in other areas of the concession.

He took action one after another, completely erasing those concessions that flew foreign flags and symbolized the century-long humiliation of the Dragon Kingdom from the map!

Perhaps there are a few among them who haven't done anything wrong, or even who have good intentions, but Lin Mu doesn't have time to distinguish them one by one...

In the tide of history, when these people chose to enjoy the privileges and conveniences brought by colonial powers, they had already unknowingly borne the original sin and were destined to pay the price for it.

Lin Mu's swift and decisive purge of the foreign concessions caused a sensation that was truly earth-shattering.

This huge commotion finally alerted the fleets of the great powers anchored in the Huangpu River and outside the Wusong Estuary!

The piercing and shrill battle alarm instantly resounded across the river and the sea.

On each warship, sailors ran frantically, and officers shouted orders at the top of their lungs.

Fleets from various countries sprang into action upon hearing the news. Dozens of warships of varying sizes, including massive cruisers and agile destroyers, roughly adjusted their massive bodies, pointing their menacing gun barrels at the smoke-filled shore.

They received orders to make these rebellious Chinese pay the heaviest price!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ship's guns roared first.
