CHAPTER 2387 PERIL
Crown Prince Feng Shun didn't care if his skill would cause collateral damage right now, as the situation was already out of hand and they needed to resolve it right away.
His entire body became swallowed by pure white lightning before hundreds of lightning bolts shot out of him.
"Storm King Immortal Arts: Thunder Deity Body!" Crown Prince Feng Shun shouted as he charged into the Black Fin Island members.
He didn't even need to touch them before the lightning bolts that were pouring from his body charred them into ashes. The foul energy coming from them was also purged at the same time, and allowed the air to become a bit cleaner.
But the Crown Prince didn't stay there long, as after doing a single round and cutting the numbers of the Black Fin Island members by half, he directly rushed to where Lady Kang, Lin Mu and Monk Hushu were.
~ZAP~ZAP~ZAP~
"Hold on!" Crown Prince Feng Shun said, knowing that there were lightning bolts striking Lin Mu and Monk Hushu too.
"We can take it!" Lin Mu said as he continued to pummel the surging black mass of worms without a stop.
Monk Hushu didn't even reply, simply focusing on chanting and purifying the black mass. His Buddhist energy was working the best right now, and was actually clearing it all out, unlike Lin Mu's punches, which were only displacing and delaying the black mass for a bit.
"HAAAH!" Crown Prince Feng Shun finally arrived between Lin Mu and Monk Hushu, before raising his hand.
The lightning condensed to become a large halberd which he quickly swung down.
~BOOM~
With a burst of lightning, the halberd cleaved through the black mass, burning its edges and severing it in two parts!
"TAKE HER AWAY!" Crown Prince Feng Shun urged.
~SHUA~
Lin Mu moved with blink, and directly dug his hands into the ground, lifting the entire area of five meters with him and jumping away.
~CRACK~
Lady Kang's body could still not be seen, as the cutoff black mass was still writhing on her and fully covered her. It looked as if someone had tried to drown her with copious amounts of black tar. It continued to wiggle all over her body and showed no signs of stopping.
~THUD~
Lin Mu finally laid the chunk on the ground, after going a few hundred meters away. "LITTLE SHRUBBY MOVE EVERYONE!" Lin Mu roared as he clenched his fist.
An immense wave of energy was released from his body, warning everyone of impending danger. ~ROAR~
The beast quickly did as told and collected everyone within five seconds and carried them away, while Lin Mu readied his skill.
"Mountain Collapsing Fist: Third Form- Flaming Devastator!" Lin Mu punched, releasing a fiery ribbon that struck in the middle of the Black Fin Island members.
It didn't even hit anyone in particular and simply struck the ground, but it didn't matter. For the subsequent explosion consumed everything in a radius of a kilometer.
~KABOOM~
It didn't matter that the Black Fin Island members were scattered or trying to retreat as all of them were consumed by it. A couple that were already at the edges and managed to fly were struck by the shockwave, causing their spines to shatter and their skin to evaporate.
A second later, their death was delivered and their souls were erased.
After doing that, Lin Mu turned back without a care and focused all his attention on Lady Kang.
By now, the black mass had seemingly started to 'calm' down.
"Its… being absorbed into her?" Lin Mu realized, as his eyes went wide.
The black mass, or rather the millions of tiny worms, were entering Lady Kang's body. Lin Mu tried to burn away as many as he could, but it was already too late as about ten seconds later all of them had entered her body, finally revealing her.
"Heavens…" Lin Mu gasped as he saw the state of Lady Kang. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Her milk white skin had turned tar black, while her face was scrunched up in pain. Her entire body was tense, as if she was spasming.
"This can't be," Lin Mu hurried moved to take out as many healing pills as he could from his storage and put them in Lady Kang's mouth.
At the same time, he checked her condition with his Immortal sense.
"ARGH!" But as soon as he did that, he felt a sharp pain, his immortal sense strand being broken!
"LIN MU!"
"LADY KANG!"
The others finally arrived and rushed to his side.
Elder Hu and Min Ju were incredibly horrified and were barely holding back from losing their cool. But they knew that they couldn't afford that right now and needed to tend to their mistress.
"What's happened to her?" Crown Princess Shang asked.
"I don't know for sure. That black mass has infiltrated her body and has infected her deeply." Lin Mu said. "My immortal sense was broken upon contact as well.
"Let me try." Monk Hushu who had his robes burned in several places due to Crown Prince Feng Shun's lightning, came forwards.
~HUMM~
His palms glowed as he created a curtain of golden light around Lady Kang.
At first nothing happened, but after ten seconds or so, the limbs of Lady Kang eased up a bit. They were still tense, but didn't seem to be spasming like before. But her expression didn't change at all, and it was clear that she was still in pain.
"Buddha have mercy! What foul creation is this!?" Monk Hushu exclaimed, getting a feel of the black worms.
"What was that black mass?" Qiao De asked the monk.
"Worms… Millions of them." Monk Hushu said with a listless breath.
"Worms!?" The others were shocked.
"It seems to be some kind of variant of those maggots… but several times more dangerous." Lin Mu said, his brows deeply furrowed.
"I can slow down this foul creation, but we need something else to stop it entirely." Monk Hushu warned.
