Chapter 2385 Staunch Opposition
"Crown prince!
" Lin Mu called out as soon as the body of the Yin Nascent Soul Maggot hit the ground.
~ZAP~
"On it!
" Crown Prince Feng Shun knew what to do and threw a large thunderbolt at the corpse.
~HISS~
The Nascent soul that was trying to leave the corpse was instantly erased by the extreme yang of the lightning, finally killing it.
"One dead!
" Daoist Chu said seeing that Lin Mu and Crown Prince Feng Shun had successfully killed the Yin Nascent Soul Maggot.
"Still four more to go.
" Lin Mu said, without losing focus.
"Come on, we can do this!
" he said before pouncing at the nearest target.
His two real and four magma arms moved nonstop, wreaking havoc upon the Yin Nascent Soul Maggots. His attacks also helped the others take advantage and they could unleash stronger attacks at the Yin Nascent Soul Maggots.
~THUD~
Not long after, another Yin Nascent Soul Maggot was killed under the combined effort of Lin Mu, Crown Prince Feng Shun and Lady Kang.
"Three more!
" with their numbers reducing, the group could fight a lot better and their injuries were not being as strained as before.
Some of them developed grey spots on their bodies due to the Withering Energy in the air, as well as due to some of the attacks that had managed to get through their defenses.
Only Lady Kang was currently safe from it, simply due to the sheer number of defensive treasures she had on her braid. But those were quickly running out too, for they were simply not meant to withstand an onslaught from Withering Dao.
The ornaments that had been arranged in the shape of a crane in her braid were now lacking a wing and two legs.
Lady Kang had endured several of the attacks for the others, since she had the most defensive treasures. She wouldn't have had to rely on them though if only she could use her 88 Mythic Constellation Series. But it was a skill that needed time to prepare and for each skill the time needed varied. Not to mention, she couldn't be interrupted in between or the skill would fail. Otherwise she had several skills that would have helped right now.
~TWANG~TWANG~TWANG~
Lin Mu's top magma arms shot several magma arrows amplified by Wonder Seeker that landed among the Black Fin Island members too whenever he felt like there was an advantage.
Lady Kang and the others who saw this couldn't help but be impressed.
'He's gotten much better than before with this.' They thought.
This wasn't the first time Lin Mu had used this, but before, his proficiency had not been as good. After all, this was a skill that required great focus as well as impeccable control over one's immortal sense. Currently, Lin Mu's immortal sense was divided into six large tendrils that manipulated his limbs, and tens more smaller strings that covered the battlefield, analyzing and observing everything at the same time.
This was also how Lin Mu was able to fight without having to 'look' back.
An Asura had three heads, and Lin Mu's Immortal Sense was doing the work of the two 'invisible' heads.
It was a form that allowed Lin Mu to utilize his Qi skills, his sword skills as well as his body cultivation all at the same time. Though this also meant that it was quite taxing and was draining his mental strength fast, too.
But Lin Mu still had a long time till he would be exhausted.
~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~
~THUD~THUD~THUD~
~SHING~SHING~SHING~
Hundreds of lights could be seen on the battlefield as weapons and skills flew.
Fire, water, wind, lightning, vines, flowers, javelins, talismans, sword energy and starlight could be seen, as everyone's fought to the full extent.
One by one, the Yin Nascent Soul Maggots were being killed while the numbers of the Black Fin Island members were also being reduced.
The twins seemed to be having fun and were not tired the least bit, their energy stores being restored with every kill. Little Shrubby was also killing off the Black Fin Island members in cooperation with the twins. Whenever someone lost focus or didn't pay attention to him, the beast would strike; either crushing their heads, cutting their bodies into four, or simply turning them into a block of charcoal.
"What are these two ribbons!?
" by now they had inspired quite a lot of terror in the hearts of the Black Fin Island members.
At least they could see Lin Mu's attacks coming and could even block them, but the twins were far too fast and didn't care about their attacks. They didn't even care about the dangerous Withering energy that had been granted to them by their mistress.
Half an hour passed like this, as the final Yin Nascent Soul Maggot finally fell, its body being turned into a shredded mess by the combined attack of the ten cultivators.
~HUU~
Lin Mu took a deep breath, but didn't lose his focus. He instantly turned around and charged at the Black Fin Island members.
"KILL THEM ALL!
" he shouted, spurring the others to join in with pleasure.
"AAAH!
"
"We need to stop him!
"
"Follow the mistress' orders!
"
The Black Fin Island members became quite anxious at seeing Lin Mu. Their words were also concerning to the group, as they realized that they had been planning around Lin Mu since the start!
Lin Mu cut the heads of two members before he had a bad feeling.
"For the mistress!
"
"For the mistress!
"
"For the mistress!
"
Three Black Fin Island members seemingly pounced on Lin Mu without a care for their lives.
~WHOOSH~
Their bodies swelled up before dark energy was released from all their orifices!
~BOOM~
The three of them exploded, but Lin Mu disappeared a moment before.
"Careful! They're sacrificing themselves—
" Before Lin Mu could warn the others though, he sensed something in the back.
"Die!
" one of the Black Fin Island members threw out a wooden token that seemingly shattered the space!
