Chapter 570 - Devastating The Wild Manʼs Defense

The Wild man had not expected Lin Mu would have so many trump cards. The young man in front of him, shocked him to no extent. His attacks were varied, yet well times. The liger like beast which he thought to be his tamed beast also attacked in sync, which made it hard for the Wild man to defend.

But when he knocked away the beast at the end and saw what Lin Mu was about to use he was utterly shocked. It was a type of energy he had only seen once before in his life. And it was used by an ancestral treasure of his clan.

The Wild man had thought it was a special energy that could only be found in artifacts and natural treasures but never in a cultivator. When he had seen that energy he was unable to tell what it was.

It neither seemed like spirit Qi nor vital energy. It was simply… different. Far more complex than either of those. But the energy Lin Mu was about to use was nearly the same as that. Or he could even say more potent than that.

The pink glow on Lin Muʼs hand might seem pleasant to a few people but to the Wild Man, it was a call for death.

He immediately pulled out all of his defensive treasure and activated every defensive Qi skill he knew.

The tattered robes he wore started to glow as more and more runes appeared on them. The patches that were on it all flew out from it, making the robe even more tattered. Then multiple layers of barrier appeared around him. He shook his head, making the hemp ribbons that tied his hair come free. Each of the hemp ribbons started glowing as they joined the barriers as well.

The man clasped her hand together and made a few mudras before executing another skill. He even bit his tongue and spat out a little blood to complete the skill.

”Calamity repelling shield!” The wild man shouted.

An illusory form of a door god appeared around him. One hand of the door god held a lantern while the other held a ruler. The door god held out the lantern from which a flame came out. The flame then formed a spiraling barrier around the wild man. The door god also raised his ruler, ready to attack.

Lin Mu saw this all but did not care. The spirit Qi and vital energy mixed within his arm before combining to fully form the pink energy. The pink energy turned into a ribbon that started spinning.

Boulder Collapsing Fist- Third Form: Devastator!

The pink ribbon of energy shot out of Lin Muʼs arm, while bloodying his knuckle. The layer of armor above Lin Muʼs skin which was made from the Mortal Strengthening scripture also cracked. Thankfully, unlike the previous forms of the Mortal Strengthening scripture, the armor did not fully collapse if only one part was cracked.

~Shua~

The pink ribbon of energy created a gully in the ground as sit soared through the air. Whatever came in its range, whether it be trees or rocks were instantly pulverized and this was when it did not even touch them.

It moved at a great speed such that after images were left behind, making it look like it was an extremely long ribbon. It kept on moving till it met the Wild man.

~BOOM~

The barriers that were made from the patches were instantly shattered by the pink ribbon of energy. The next to be destroyed were the wooden spears which the Wild man had brought forward to defend. The runes on them collapsed like straw in the wind before fading away.

Then came the turn of the defensive Qi skills that the Wild Man had prepared. The weaker skills were able to hold the pink ribbon of energy for a couple of seconds before they were broken as well.

The only defense that was left was the door god. The flame barrier created by the lantern of the door god managed to hold back the pink ribbon for four more seconds, before it was snuffed out.

~DENG~

Seeing that the flame barrier had collapsed, the door god swung its ruler at the pink ribbon of energy. By now, all the combined defenses had managed to drain most of the momentum of the pink ribbon but it was still more than enough to kill the wild man.

~zing~

Sparks flew as the ruler of the door god managed to block the pink ribbon for the time being. The stalemate lasted for an entire ten seconds before the pink ribbon showed signs of dissipating. The wild man had an expression of relief on his face but then it became tense again.

~Rumble~

The pink ribbon of energy became unstable and exploded.

~BOOM~

The illusory door god perished under the explosion as a large crater was created on the ground. Trees in a diameter of hundred meters were reduced to splinters as they were launched everywhere.

Lin Mu simply stood there as the brown armor of the Mortal Strengthening scripture took the impact from the splinters.

~huu~huu~huu~

Lin Mu took deep breaths as blood dripped from his right fist. The area in front of him was covered in a cloud of dust and nothing could be seen in it. When the dust finally cleared, Lin Mu saw the aftermath.

In the center of the crater, he saw the wild man kneeling on one leg. The top half of his body left was bare as his robes were destroyed. Blood dripped from the multiple cuts on his body as his hair was splayed around haphazardly.

His head was down, making it hard to see his face. His beard was muddy and soiled, as it touched the ground fully. Lin Mu narrowed his eyes as he saw the slight movement of the manʼs shoulders.

He was still breathing!

”Dammit!” Lin Mu cursed.

”Another attack should do him in… Argh!” Lin Mu spoke but then pain suddenly filled his body.

The tribulation lightning had attacked his core!
