Chapter 423 - Killing The Great Slumber Bear
Lin Mu remembered that Senior Xukong had told him he would give him something that would help him go beyond the body tempering realm a long time ago.
"Senior what was it that you said you were going to give me?" Lin Mu questioned.
"I was going to give you a body cultivation technique, but I think it would be better to wait. You need to kill the Great Slumber bear first." Xukong replied.
"Yes, Senior. I understand." Lin Mu replied.
Lin Mu stood up and looked at the sky outside. The moon was just starting to wave and its light could be said to be strong.
~huu~
Lin Mu took a deep breath and made up his mind before walking towards the end of the cave. He activated the third skill Phase and entered the wall. Quickly passing through, Lin Mu reached the other end and looked at the huge beast that was curled up against the wall, steam coming out of its nose and mouths.
"Hmm... it has indeed recovered more than I expected. Good, that we chose to come right away, or I estimate it would reach the Nascent soul realm by the end of this month..." Xukong spoke.
Lin Mu felt alarmed by this and wondered if he had not been forced to fight Gu Yao, he would have perhaps still been in the Wu Lim city. If everything had gone according to how Wu Hei had planned, Lin Mu would have reached this cave in fifteen more days from now.
Those fifteen more days would have been the difference between life and death. Lin Mu could only think of this as finding a fortune in misfortune.
"Be careful now, you will only have one chance. You need to kill it in a single blow, or it will not give you a second chance." Xukong warned.
"I understand senior..." Lin Mu replied.
He took another breath before muttering to himself, "fade...".
~Cling~
He pierced the spear through the left paw of the great slumber bear and nailed it to the ground.
"More!" Lin Mu yelled as he took out a long sword.
"GRRRRR!" The Great Slumber bear let out a rumbling noise as spirit qi started to concentrate on its other paw.
"Quick! It’s gonna attack!" Xukong wandered.
"Take this!" Lin Mu said before stabbing the long sword through the paw that the beast was trying to attack him with.
~shatter~
The long sword pierced its right paw, but the beast shattered it forcefully. Lin Mu immediately pulled out the pair of slim swords and pierced them in the hole that was created by the long sword.
The beast struggled to pull out the three weapons and was about to use its legs when Lin Mu took out three different kinds of spears from his ring and stabbed them in its left leg in three places. The great slumber Bear’s heel, ankle and knee were now nailed to the ground.
Lin Mu then took out the battle axe from the ring and slammed its blade into the only free leg of the beast. But this was not enough, as the length of the blade was not enough to keep it trapped.
Lin Mu raised his hand in the air and willed it, making a large rock appear. The rock fell on the Axe burying even deeper into the leg of the beast and into the rocky floor. This rock was none other than the Deep ocean Iron ore that he had obtained a long time ago.
Finally, he took out the Iron thorn Spear he had obtained from Jing Wei. Lin Mu hadn’t used it since then for fighting, and had only practiced with it in his Sleepscape.
~ROAR!~
The Great Slumber Bear’s powerful qi stirred as it increased its strength.
"HAAAA!"
