CHAPTER 2154  OCEAN RAKER'S MIGHT

From what Lin Mu had seen so far in his fight against the Demonic Sentinel, he knew that its body was incredibly tough. In fact, he reckoned it might just be as tough as the Longgui Bulwark Armor itself.

'If I take that as a frame of reference, I need to use an attack that will be able to break through my own armor.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Let's test it with pure power first…' he gripped the long sword tightly as it was raised high.

~HUMM~

The long sword hummed with joy, as Lin Mu's Metal Elemental Immortal Qi and sword intent poured into it. Due to being a Long Sword, Ocean Raker was more suited to straight slashes with great power. It had the best cutting power and could even split a mountain in half, if Lin Mu used it seriously.

Which was exactly what he intended to do right now.

~HUALA~

After a couple of seconds, the sword was thrumming with power and glowed in a faint blue light.

"SEVER!" Lin Mu uttered, swinging the sword in a downward slash.

Upon doing this, Ocean Raker glowed brightly as a massive energy poured out of it. This energy turned into a large sword imprint that slashed with the sword, resulting in a giant blue slash that charged towards the Demonic Sentinel.

The slash was as tall as the roof and about ten inches wide. It was filled with blue energy with white edges around it. This was rather contrasting to the normal metal elements immortal Qi, which was yellow in color and was due to the Blue Vein Heart Metal, which was considered one of the best metals to make a sword with.

Not only did this increase the sharpness of the blade by a lot, its durability was also great, allowing it to handle larger amounts of Qi and sword intent within it.

~BOOOOM~

The flashy attack made it hard to see when it struck the Demonic Sentinel, but the resulting sound from it was extremely loud. Strong winds blew from the impact, which could be felt by everyone in the back. Ziran created a wooden barrier to prevent them from getting hit by any stray fragments, just in case, while the glass eye continued to observe the scene.

Due to the sheer amount of Immortal Qi that was present in the air, it made it a bit hard to see, but eventually it became clear.

"Daoist Mu Lin…" Ziran muttered as he gazed at the scene.

The bright light faded away as the aftermath of the attack was revealed.

Lin Mu stood where he was earlier, while a deep gully was left in front of him, as well as on the roof. The tough stone that had not broken from their earlier attacks had been cut apart!

"This…" The scene was quite stunning to Min Ju, who was witnessing Lin Mu's power for the first time.

While he had shown some of his skills and attacks earlier, they were not enough to shock the maid. Only Lady Kang had gotten to see it firsthand in the previous trials.

The Demonic Sentinel was stuck against the wall, with its body having been buried half way in the wall. It was clear that the impact was enough to break the wall behind it too. But that was not the most eye catching thing. It was actually the front of the Demonic Sentinel that had been split apart!

It was as if a saw had been used to cut through its body, as a ten inch deep cut was inflicted from the top of its head to the bottom of its body. Two of its arms had been shredded apart from the stray energy of the slash, while one of its leg was also chopped off.

Even if the slash might not have been directed at its limbs, it didn't mean that the energy of the slash would stay contained in one part. The Demonic Sentinel also tried to use its limbs to defend itself, which resulted in its extra injuries.

And despite trying to defend, it had still gotten damaged to this extent.

Half of its eyes had also been scraped away due to the sharp sword intent, rending it unable to use the Dao Skill at full power again.

Lin Mu though, stared at the split part of its body, gazing at its internals. "What are those?" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes as he found strange channels inside the body of the Demonic Sentinel. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

They were carved using an unknown method, as the entire Demonic Sentinel was seemingly a solid statue made from a single piece of material. And yet, it had all these channels which were perfectly carved. "Are those… Meridians?" Lady Kang said upon seeing them.

"Yes… Or rather, they are a replica of Meridians." Ziran nodded. "But if it has these meridians, it is not just any Demonic Sentinel. This is a Tomb Guardian Demonic Sentinel." He revealed.

"A Tomb Guardian?" Lin Mu who heard it, was surprised.

"Yes, they are stronger than normal Demonic Sentinels and cannot be made easily. It needs a grandmaster Demonic Refiner to make these. It has an internal structure that is similar to the meridian system of a cultivator, which makes it quite efficient. Its tough body protects its internals and the addition of its Dao Skill makes it a terrifying guardian." Ziran explained.

~Creak~

And just as Ziran said this, the statue moved.

"It's still alive!?" Min Ju said in disbelief.

The Demonic Sentinel moved and the eyes on its body swiveled around, trying to analyze what had happened.

"Wait, if it has the internals of a cultivator, doesn't that mean it should have something like a Dantian, too?" Lin Mu suddenly said.

"Yes, that should be where its power source should be!" Ziran answered.

"Looks like we can put it to rest, then." Lin Mu said, trying to trace the meridians and find the position of the Dantian.
