CHAPTER 2386 DEADLY ODDS
Lin Mu had his immortal sense spread, but with the multiple explosions, the Qi in the air was chaotic making it hard for him to sense what had just been thrown. By the time he sensed it, the object which was a Wooden Token he had seen before was already very close to him.
It was none other than the tokens that they had obtained from the destroyed rings of the Black Fin Island members.
~CRACK~
The wooden token stopped about two meters from Lin Mu and shattered the space, abruptly opening a rift.
Lin Mu could sense this very clearly due to just how violent the spatial fluctuations where. He was about to turn around, when he felt something coming from the Spatial Rift. He didn't get to see it but the others certainly did.
It was a surge of pure black mass that rushed out from the rift.
"What is that!?" Crown Prince Feng Shun and the others were shocked.
The power being released by the black mass was something on an entirely different level. It was certainly not something they had seen the Black Fin Island members use before.
"It's even stronger than the Yin Nascent Soul Maggots!" Daoist Chu sensed.
~THUD~
Lin Mu barely got a monetary look at it, before the surge of black mass struck him!
"ARGH!" He instantly felt pain from the impact, the power of the attack seemingly cracking the Longgui Bulwark Armor in one go.
~CRACK~
The black mass continued to pour out of it, and was very rapidly eroding the Longgui Bulwark Armor.
"I have to… move…" Lin Mu wanted to use blink, but even maintaining his position right now was difficult. 'It doesn't work!?' And when he forcefully tried to use the skill, he realized that the entire space was in chaos!
The black mass and the spatial rift were causing the entire space to turn unstable, preventing Lin Mu's spatial skill from working. He hadn't seen something like this happen before and was astonished.
"Daoist Mu Lin!" The others shouted and rushed to rescue him.
"Kill them now!" but the Black Fin Island members were not going to give them the chance.
"Dammit!" Crown Prince Feng Shun was furious and directly unleashed waves of winds that tore apart the Black Fin Island members that were coming close.
Daoist Chu and Monk Hushu though, managed to avoid some attack and rushed to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu didn't even have the freedom to warn them about the black mass. He could tell just how dangerous this was since it was rapidly corroding the Longgui Bulwark Armor. Even though Lin Mu was trying to repair it at the same time, he didn't know if it would last more than a few more seconds.
"Get back!" it was at this time that Lady Kang moved.
~HONGLONG~
She seemingly made a hand seal, all the hair ornaments on her braid flying out and transforming into an illusory crane.
~PIIIII~
The crane lacked a wing and two legs, but it still flew in the air, before coming to a stop in front of Lin Mu. Its illusory body blocked the black mass that was surging at Lin Mu, allowing him to finally move out.
Lin Mu leaned to the side and got out from the range of the surging black mass before rolling to safety.
~PIIII~
The illusory crane let out its final cry and all the ornaments that composed it seemingly shattered.
~SHATTER~
~WHOOSH~
This seemingly freed the Black Mass again and as if it had a mind of its own, changed directions!
Lin Mu who saw its direction, felt his heart drop.
"NO!" Lin Mu shouted, as he saw the black mass charge towards the nearest person, which was none other than Lady Kang!
~WOONG~
Lady Kang unleashed beams of starlight from her palms, but they barely held for a second before being overpowered. The woman's eyes went wide before a mind shattering pain filled her.
Her entire body was consumed by the surging black mass, as it continued to come out of the spatial rift.
"NOOO!" Lin Mu screamed as he charged back at it without a care for danger. "LADY KANG!" Elder Hu and Min Ju who were currently occupied by the Black Fin Island members, were horrified. They wished to charge in to protect their lady too, but were forced to stay by the enemies. They could only hope that Lin Mu could do something right now.
Searing hot energy rushed out of Lin Mu's arm and wrapped around it while it enlarged to a size four times the normal. ~SPLAT~
Lin Mu directly punched the black mass, causing a part of it to explode and burn with the energy.
~GUSH~
But the black mass seemingly started to surge again, after pausing for a second. "AMITHABHA! GOLDEN VAJRA'S PURIFYING SERENITY!" Monk Hushu arrived at this time, directly releasing his Dao Embryo and using the entirety of his Buddhist powers. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
~HUMMMM~
The Dao Embryo seemingly came to a stop above Monk Hushu's head, causing his palms to glow in a golden light. He then extended them towards the surging black mass, before pure golden light started to pour out of it.
~HIIIISSSSSSSSSSS~
This time, the effect was a lot more profound as the surging black mass started to directly evaporate. This allowed Lin Mu to finally observe just what the surging black mass was. "Worms?" Lin Mu's eyes went wide as he saw millions of tiny worms. These worms were different than the Yin Nascent Soul Maggots having a smooth body, and a circular mouth. But instead of hundreds of teeth, they only had a long sharp fang on it that looked like a needle!
Of course, the entire bodies of the worms were pitch black, thus it was very hard to determine what they looked like at first. ~RUMBLE~
Crown Prince Feng Shun's anger had reached the ceiling, and he directly tapped into the power of his Dao Embryo, unleashing dense lightning Dao Traces.
