Chapter 408 - Battling Gu Yao
The blood dome that was created by Gu Yao had become a blood sphere sometime during the explosion. Lin Mu and the other two elders couldn’t tell what was happening inside it, but it was obvious that Gu Yao was planning something.
"We need to kill Gu Yao or there will be a lot of problems." Lin Mu stated.
"Yes, we cannot let him escape. Just the blood sacrifices are worthy for him to be executed." Supreme elder replied with anger in his eyes.
The peak master Yi Deng flicked his hand and the fan shaped spirit tool appeared in his hand.
"Why are we waiting then? KILL!" Yi Deng shouted before flying forward.
He waved the fan and blades of wind formed in the air, before attacking the blood sphere.
~clink~
~clink~
~Clink~
It was as if metal was hitting metal and no damage could be seen on the blood sphere.
"Dammit! It’s much more tougher than I expected." Yi Deng said before attacking again.
The supreme elder summoned his spear and made a gesture with his free hand, lighting a flame onto the spear tip.
"True flame extermination spear!" The supreme elder canted before throwing the spear with all his might.
~Shua~
The spear streaked through the air, leaving behind a trail of orange flames.
"How?" Lin Mu questioned with shock.
This was the first time his skill Flicker, had failed to protect him from an attack.
"His attacks are too powerful for you to ignore them. They contain a higher amount of spirit qi in them and thus can bypass the effect of the first skill Flicker. It’s better that you dodge them instead." Xukong hurriedly spoke.
Lin Mu was a bit thankful that he learned of this right now. If he did not know of the limitations of the flicker, he may have very well committed a grave mistake in the future. But he at least now knew that the limit for the skill flicker was the Nascent Soul realm.
But there was still the fact that Lin Mu didn’t know if only Adult stage Nascent soul realm cultivators could affect him or if it was all cultivators in the Nascent Soul realm.
~shua~
Now that Lin Mu had been injured, the ward that was placed on Lin Mus started activating.
"Senior, stop the ward!" Lin Mu urged.
"You sure? Do you have some other idea?" Xukong inquired.
He knew that the ward was a defensive spell and would at most allow him to escape from here. But looking at Lin Mu Xukong could tell that Lin Mu perhaps had some other idea.
"I want to see if the two elders can defeat him and I also want to test out the full potential of the third form of the Boulder collapsing fist." Lin Mu said.
Lin Mu had never used the boulder collapsing fist beyond the limit of twenty percent. He knew that the skill was quite powerful and if the Bloodline crystal explosion could hurt Gu Yao, then it was likely that the third form of the Boulder Collapsing fist could do the same.
Lin Mu was betting on the fourth skill Fade as his final gambit along with the ward if he wanted to escape.
He trained his eyes on Gu Yao, who was now fighting both the Peak Master Yi Deng and Supreme elder together. The peak master flapped his fan and created blades of winds, while the supreme elder rained punches and kicks on the man while the spear flew around on its own, controlled by his spirit sense.
"I’ll give you two an offer, join hands with me and I’ll make you the top sect of the empire." Gu Yao said.
"HAH! As if we are fools to accept your offer." Yi Deng scoffed while creating a vortex that spun at great speed, sputtering the blood around.
"Your loss if you do not want to accept it. But know that my Gu Clan shall rule this continent and the Great Zhou Empire will be exterminated, just like they did to my clan!" Gu Yao proclaimed.
