“Argh!”
“NO!”
“MY LEGS!”
Before the immortals could realized it, a barrage of arrows struck them. These were the fiery arrows that Lin Mu had shot.
Some of the arrows directly pierced through the bodies of the immortals, while some exploded upon contact. The ones that did explode, greatly injured the immortals, turning them into sitting ducks. Lin Mu had made sure to vary the effects of the arrows so that the Immortals wouldn’t be able to react to them properly.

~Shua~ Shua~ Shua~
Three immortals quickly turned into wisps of light and disappeared, having been teleported out.
“Two more under my belt!” Lu Xu said, seeing that his score had increased.
“I’ll take the lead again soon!” Qian Wen said as he swung his sword vertically, sending out a long sword light that split the ground part.
“Watch out!” A Third Tribulation Stage Immortal could not react in time and was struck by it, quickly being set out of the Spatial Plane.
“Now we’re equal.” Qian Wen said with a smirk before continuing to slash.
~TWANG~
Lin Mu also continued to shoot arrows, not letting the immortals rest.
~HOWL~
But that wasn’t all as the Sky Soar Wolf also joined the battle under the commands of Ming Aolian.
~WHOOSH~
Unlike the immortals, Ting had superior mobility due to having wings and could still fly. She swooped in from the sky and clawed at the cultivators, ripping their flesh.
“There’s a flying beast too! Kill it first! We won’t be able to fight with it interfering!” A fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal shouted while running. “ARGH!” But in the next second, he found himself getting injured as well/
He looked down and saw that one of his legs had been broken!
It had sunken into the ground up to his knee. This had happened suddenly, causing his momentum to break his leg!
He couldn’t tell how this had happened though, as the ground was still solid just a moment ago.
~WUGUGUGU~
~TREMBLE~
“The ground is sinking!” the other immortals realized as well.
Many of them found their legs getting stuck in ground. Some tried to forcefully push them out, while a couple used footwork techniques to avoid sinking into the ground. But it still opened them up to more attacks from Lu Xu and Qian Wen.
~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~
Lin Mu’s arrows also continued to rain, bombarding the immortals and injuring them further.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
Four more immortals were defeated, before being teleported out of the Spatial Plane.
Lin Mu and his companions had a coordination that could not be easily seen in a tournament like this. The immortals that had intruded into the formation ring were confused about how many enemies they had to face in the first place.
They could only see Lu Xu, Qian Wen and Ting in the open as these were the ones that were clashing with them directly. This lead them to believe there were at least four immortals. But the sudden change in the ground was another thing that baffled them.
They wondered if it was the work of formations too, but it was simply too strong for it to be able to trap immortals this easily. Of course, they didn’t know that there were in reality five people that were fighting together.
Lin Mu’s plan, along with the tactics he had decided upon, was working perfectly, as the immortals continued to lose one after the other. Lu Xu and Qian Wen kept on dealing the final blows, while the arrows and the Mulch Crawl eater beast’s skill trapped them.
The threat of the Sky Soar Wolf looming above them was also a great pain, as they wouldn’t know when it would attack. The wolf would suddenly strike, then fly away before striking again at the most opportune moment.
With this repeating several times, even the Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortals started to fall under the combined onslaught of Lin Mu’s companions. Lu Xu, Qian Wen and the Ming Sisters found it to be surreal as they defeated multiple opponents that were above their cultivation base.
It was something they wouldn’t have been able to do normally, but now they were setting a new record for themselves.
And it wasn’t just them that were amazed by this. Outside the Spatial Plane, the audience that was watching it all was stunned too.
“Just who are these people?”
“How can someone set up a formation like that in such a short period of time?”
“Forget that, have you seen beasts act like that before?”
“And those arrows! How can he use such a strong Qi skill without having exhausted all his Immortal Qi?”
The audience had many questions but could not get the answers. A few among them who had seen the battles of Lin Mu and his companions though were soon starting to recognize them. The word about their skills and previous battles was already starting to spread.
Even the Booking Pavilion had to change their opinion of Lin Mu and his companions. While they were weaker than most in terms of pure cultivation base, they still seemed to be coming out on top in terms of other aspects.
The best example of this was Lin Mu who was only at the Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm in terms of his Qi cultivation. His body cultivation was still unknown, as he hadn’t truly displayed the full power of it.
“Wait! I know that guy!” In one of the sitting areas, an audience member shouted. “He’s the one who intimidated and kicked out Li Lao with merely his aura!” there was someone that recognized Lin Mu from the banquet.
“What? Is that why Li Lao couldn’t perform well afterward?”
“Did he receive any patronage from the nobles?”
The people were now curious about it. After all, an exceptional person like this should have been scouted already.
