Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 569 - Combat!

Seeing that Lin Mu was about to be overwhelmed by attacks, Little Shrubby attacked with his full force as well. His sharp claws glowed bright red as a scorching heat came from them. His fur flared up as a thundering roar came from his mouth.

~ROAR~

He swiped at the manʼs back while Lin Mu attacked from the front. His short sword danced through the air like a butterfly while the Iron Thorn spear struck like a Wasp.

~clang~

The clash was quite loud and the impact of all the attacks knocked away a lot of soil and leaves. The wild man looked back and saw a large Liger beast behind him. His clothes were struck by the beastʼs claws but were unable to pierce through the defense.

The man blocked the Iron Thorn Spear on his right with the Axe, while on his left he flicked the dagger to deflect the short sword.

”Not bad… not bad… but if this is all you have… then you are better off dead!” The man yelled and stomped his foot on the ground.

~Rumble~

The ground shook heavily as Lin Mu was knocked back. He flipped in the air to stabilize himself and stepped onto the short sword which came to him at the right moment. Little Shrubby was also knocked back, but he stopped himself after digging his claws into the soil.

”This is gonna be hard…” Lin Mu muttered as he attacked again.

This time, two slim swords appeared in his hands as he spun around like a vortex. The wind howled as it was sliced apart by the rapidly spinning blades.

~shing~shing~shing~

The slim swords met the wild manʼs dagger, which he had thrown.

~Crack~

The slim swords shattered under the attack of the dagger as they were unable to keep up with the durability of the dagger. After all, these slim sword were made from simple steel, even if they had been of a good quality.

But this was exactly Lin Muʼs aim, as a smirk appeared on his face. His lips slightly moved as the wild man suddenly felt his vision blur. Lin Mu disappeared in front of him, which quickly made him shake of the daze he had felt.

”Too late…” Lin Mu whispered

Boulder Collapsing Fist- First Form: Impact!

~KABOOM~

The wild man was sent flying as a fist hit his flank. He flew for over a hundred meters in the air, as spittle flew everywhere from his mouth.

”H-how!?” The wild man was extremely surprised. He was sure he had not sensed Lin Mu approaching him at all!

ʼDid he just appear out of thin air?ʼ The Wild man wondered.

”Tch~ heʼs way stronger than I thought. Seeing as he fully bore the attack of a ten percent Boulder Collapsing Fist- First Form: Impact, he should be in the Nascent Soul realm. At the very least at the Child Stage of the Nascent Soul realm too.” Lin Mu analyzed.

He had really thought that he would have been able to knock out the man in one hit but he seemed to be way more durable. Lin Mu even targeted his flank, which was the only place that seemed to not be protected from the formations.

While Lin Mu was fighting at the start using weapons, he was intentionally not using any of the skills of the mysterious ring. He was taking this time to analyze the man and his spirit tools. With Lin Muʼs little experience with the formations, he had gained a little insight into formation nodes and saw that the manʼs spirit tools were all weird.

There were way too many formation nodes on it, which made Lin Mu confused at first. This made him think that what he was wearing was a high grade spirit armor. But once he got to probe the nodes closely, he realized each of the ʼpatchʼ on his robes was actually an individual defensive formation!

The robes were actually not a High grade spirit armor, but rather multiple smaller low grade and mid grade defensive formations combined. This also meant that any spot they did not cover was undefended.

This spot was none other than the wild manʼs left flank. Thus using the severing heart sutra at the right moment, he sent him into a daze and then blinked to close the distance before using the Boulder Collapsing fist.

ʼHeʼs good at hiding his spirit Qi fluctuations too… I would not have known he was at the Nascent Soul realm had I not seen him defend against my attack.ʼ Lin Mu thought.

Lin Mu trained his eyes on the wild man, who had now recovered. Unlike before, the man had a more cautious expression on him as his aura became a bit controlled.

”Letʼs see how you take this then!” Lin Mu uttered before pulling his fist back.

Boulder Collapsing Fist- Second Form: Piercer!

The wild man barely had any time to react before he saw a thin needle approaching him at blinding speed.

~clang~

He managed to put the bone dagger in front of him to block the needle, but was pushed back again. He gritted his teeth and poured spirit Qi into the bone dagger.

Alas! He was too late.

~Shatter~

The needle, which was the Piercer attack of Boulder Collapsing Fist, broke through the dagger before exploding.

~boom~

Bone fragments were launched everywhere, but the defenses of the Wild man managed to stop them from harming him.

”AHH!” the Wild man yelled crazily as he approached Lin Mu at breakneck speed. Lin Mu was surprised by this as the speed was almost comparable to little Shrubby.

~zing~

Little Shrubby intercepted the wild man mid air but was thrown away at the last moment by the Wild manʼs punch. The illusory fist imprint launched by the wild man sent little Shrubby crashing into tens of trees.

”Little Shrubby!” Lin Mu said with concern as anger appeared on his face for the first time.

”Damn you!” he cursed as a massive amount of energy seethed in his arm.

A pinkish glow appeared around his arm, which terrified even the wild man.
