Chapter 2183 Three Bless Tolls
Chapter 2183 Three Bless Tolls
From what they had seen of Lin Mu, they at least knew that he was a composed person.
Lin Mu had been highly resourceful as well as dependable, thus they didn't think that he would falter to something like this.
'With his talent, this should be easy enough for him.' Crown Prince Feng Shun and Ziran had the same thought.
Even though the half elf hadn't spent much time with Lin Mu, he had understood a lot about the man. With how many people he had met in his life, Ziran was well versed with people and could get a great guess on them just by observing them.
The same happened with Lin Mu, and he could tell that the man's talent was greater than he let on.
Lady Kang felt similarly and had even more trust having seen Lin Mu closer than others.
But the most trust was from none other than Crown Prince Feng Shun.
He knew the fact that Lin Mu was being backed by a Celestial.
'There's no way a Celestial's disciple would have no means of prevention against a Sword heart devil or backlash from the process.' Crown Prince Feng Shun thought. While they all wondered about this, Lin Mu continued with his fight. He was unaware of their conversations and was fully immersed in the slaughter.
'I can hear… Them. Afternoon Pine and Ocean Raker…' Lin Mu thought to himself in his heart.
Most parts of his mind were busy in the battle and only a few could think to himself. Normally this would have broken one's focus in the middle of a battle or make them commit a mistake.
But for Lin Mu, the battle felt natural for the two swords themselves guided him through it. As such, Lin Mu still had a part of his mind left to think further about his connection with the swords.
'I could understand them before but this… This is on an entirely different level.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
A faint hum spread in the area, but Lin Mu heard it as another thing.
'We can understand you too.' The clear response of the swords was amazing to Lin Mu and he couldn't help but talk more with them. He told them how they should move better while the swords gave him input on what he should do to better his movements and posture.
The swords and man worked in union reaching the state of unity.
When this happened, Lin Mu's entire body hummed with the power of a sword before a wave of aura spread in the area.
~HUALA~
The burst of the aura was stronger than even the Slaughter Aura Lin Mu had been emitting all this time. In fact, this new aura had fully extinguished the Slaughter Aura from Lin Mu.
Instead this aura had a greater sense of danger to it.
This was no common aura, but Sword Aura!
~HONGLONG~
The Sword Aura spun before a sharp energy rose from it.
"Such Strong Sword Intent!" Daoist Chu and Qiao De stumbled.
The Sword Intent was like a water spout that was gathering water from the ocean and spewing it into the sky.
The waves of Sword Intent that rolled over were naturally dangerous to them even if they weren't being targeted by it.
"Get back," Elder Ho warned as he swung his fists, trying to ward off the Sword Intent wave that was coming towards them.
~SHUA~ SHUA~
The others didn't need more advice after this as they quickly put up their defenses.
"Storm King Immortal Arts: Lesser Fulgar Ward!" Crown Prince Feng Shun sketched out a square with his hands.
The square transformed into a barrier that surrounded the group and sparkled in a purple light.
~ZIIIIP~
Then in the next second, pillars of lightning shot out from it, containing everyone inside it securely.
"That should hold against the Sword Intent." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "Or it should at least last till we are at a safe distance." He added before the group decided to back off.
The collective retreat was the right answer as the wave of Sword Intent was only getting stronger. Its range was about five hundred meters at first, but then became one thousand meters. By the time Crown Prince Feng Shun and the others realized the growing range they had already retreated five kilometers away.
This gave them plenty of chance to properly observe the rapidly changing range as well as the intensifying Sword Intent.
~HONGLONG~
~HONGLONG~
~HONGLONG~
It was as if someone was ringing celebratory bells as the Sword Intent grew.
All those that were present in the area could hear it, and a few of them even realized what it meant.
"The Three Bless Tolls!" Elder Ho, Crown Prince Feng Shun and Daoist Chu exclaimed in unison.
"That phenomenon… One of the Dao Phenomena that only happen in exceptional cases…" Min Ju muttered in disbelief.
The bells continued to ring in sets of three. All those that heard them couldn't help but feel a bit mesmerized. The tune of the bells could directly affect their minds and was astonishing to them.
But they knew that these bells meant no harm and were in fact a great opportunity.
Even though the bells might not be ringing for them, just the fact that they were getting to listen to them along was a great thing.
It might open them up to new opportunities and chances as their very luck would change upon hearing them.
These bells signified auspiciousness after all.
"For them to ring for Daoist Mu Lin… His progress to the Peak Sword Intent might not be the only limit." Elder Hu couldn't help but mutter.
While the group was marveling at this, Lin Mu was also thrilled by it.
He could innately tell that all this was beneficial to him and would greatly improve him.
'I can sense… the Sword Dao so clearly.' Lin Mu thought to himself as hundreds of Sword Dao Traces became visible to him.
