Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2398  Taking A Stand

”Weʼll need to defend on all fronts.” Ziran said as he looked at Daoist Chu. ”You handle the ground, Iʼll take the sky.” ”Alright!” Daoist Chu nodded as he continued to control the Deathly Confinement Eight Flag Formation.

Ziran stood at the entrance of the Offering Hall and made a few hand seals before tapping the ground.

~RUMBLE~

A wall of brambles rose from it and covered the offering hall, protecting it from ranged attacks.

All the attacks that landed on the of Offering Hall were blocked by the brambles that were tougher than they looked. Instead of wooden brambles, they wear as tough as barbed wires!

~HONGLONG~

”I canʼt do much right now, but Iʼll still protect this place.” Monk Hushu also set up a barrier.

~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~

Qiao De also joined the battle, throwing out his javelins.

From his original set of twenty four javelins, he had now expanded them to a large set of one hundred and eight of them!

They didnʼt all look the same either, being made out of different materials.

Some were made of hardened wood, some were made from stone, some were made from metal and then finally over half of them were made with bone!

These were none other than the bones he had extracted from the Chimeric Beasts themselves and then tempered them with the materials he had bought from the Offering Halls.

”108 Pelting Javelin Hail!” Qiao De simply gestured with his fingers and sent all the javelins flying into the sky.

They then spit up and targeted any peculiar Chimeric Beast that was strong and was close to reaching the Offering Hallʼs border.

”Iʼll handle them middle ones.” Qiao De spoke to his companions as he controlled the javelins. He retrieved them with a command and sent them flying again.

It was clear that the merchant had learned a lot and enhanced his skills by a lot. His 108 Pelting Javelin Hail was in fact a famous Javelin Skill that was considered great for a large scale battle.

He had been limited before by the number of javelins he could make, but here with the abundance of materials, he had no issues and went crazy with the credits, maxing out the entire set of javelins.

”He sure has gotten stronger.” Ziran said recalling his friend lacking in the offense department before.

”But will it be enough for us to survive this?” Daoist Chu said, knowing that this was going to be the hardest battle of their lives so far. It was unknown whether they would survive this, especially considering the fact that two of their strongest companions were out of commission right now.

Min Ju who was taking care of Lin Mu and Lady Kang couldnʼt help but look at the empty corridor anxiously. She could hear the sound of the battle coming from the outside and knew that it was not light.

”Whatʼs happening out there?” Lin Mu questioned as he tried to recover as much of his Qi as he could.

His immortal sense was also rather limited right now, as even using that was quite taxing on him. ”Itʼs not good.” Min Ju replied honestly. ”Thereʼs a massive swarm of Chimeric Beasts surrounding us including those at the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm.” She knew hiding it from Lin Mu was useless.

”Keep me updated and tell me when they canʼt take it.” Lin Mu said without hesitation.

”You are in no condition to fight. You should just rest right now.” Min Ju replied. ”We wonʼt have that option.” Lin Mu said knowing that this might just be the start. ”Are there any Black Fin Island members out there?” he asked.

”None that I can see.” Min Ju shook her heard. ”Elder Hu hasnʼt spotted any of them either.” She added after checking her jade slip.

”Theyʼre waiting for us to either die or be weakened enough to attack.” Lin Mu knew they wonʼt be missing an opportunity like this. ”This swarm was also incited by them.”

Min Ju didnʼt reply but her expression showed her fear.

She was concerned about her Lady as well as everyone else. They might have had a chance to escape of Lin Mu and Lady Kang were given some time to recover.

But now, the Chimeric Beast Swarm had arrived almost on point as if they had been waiting for them.

Lin Mu was sure that these Chimeric Beasts had been teleported here as well.

ʼThereʼs no way so many of them would all appear here at once when theyʼre so spread out.ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself as he closed his eyes. ʼUgh… I have to see…ʼ with a bit of pain, he opened them again, activating his Spatial Perception.

~SHUA~

Sure enough, with it he could see the faint spatial disturbances that were present everywhere. The closest one was over thirty kilometer away while the farthest one couldnʼt be seen by him right now.

ʼShe might have just summoned all of them from the bridge plane here.ʼ Lin Mu guessed.

A hundred thoughts went through his mind as time passed by. With each passing minute, the sounds of battle only got intense and Lin Mu grew anxious too.

An hour passed like this before Min Ju gasped in shock.

”No!” She almost fell back.

”What happened!?” Lin Mu questioned.

”The Black Fin Island members… theyʼre here too now.” Min Ju replied while trembling.

~SIGH~

Hearing that Lin Mu let off a sigh. ”It is time…” Lin Mu said as he stood up with a groan.

”You mustnʼt move.” Min Ju quickly moved to help him but he shook his head. ”I have one last gamble left.” Lin Mu said as he started to walk towards the entrance with an unstable gait.

Min Ju looked at him and hesitated. She glanced at Lady Kang who seemed to be peacefully sleeping and made up her mind.

”Let me help then.” Min Ju said as she held Lin Muʼs arm and supported him to work.

As the two continued to walk though, Lin Mu decided to warn her about his gamble.
