Chapter 406 - Bloodline Crystal Explosion
Gu Yao was now in a great dilemma. It was now his own skills against the words of a boy who he doubted greatly. On one hand, he was sure that his skills were accurate and that the boy was not lying, but on the other hand, what the boy has said was utterly ridiculous to nearly everyone.
It took a minute to recover before a furious expression appeared on his face.
"YOU DARE TRICK ME? Who doesn't know that there isn't anyone above the immortal Ascension realm in this world? If there really was, then it would mean the world's barrier was destroyed." Gu Yao yelled.
The supreme elder who was scared about his own prospects also calmed down after hearing the words of Gu Yao.
'That's right, if the world barred was really destroyed, everyone would know. Without that, there is no way anyone can enter this world. The barrier was created by two Immortals from the upper realm personally, there is no way it would be possible.' The supreme elder thought.
Lin Mu didn't show any reaction to Gu Yao's words though. What he wanted to do was already accomplished.
"Doesn't matter, you're done anyway!" Lin Mu said before his right fist started to glow in a bright red light.
There were beams of red light coming from the gaps between Lin Mu's fingers. The light seemed to be affecting the seals that were placed on his body. Gu Yao was only a hand's distance away before he saw it.
"What did you do!?" Gu Yao questioned in shock before attacking Lin Mu.
But before he could do anything, Lin Mu's restraints broke like glass, and he was freed.
"Take this!" Lin Mu shouted before throwing a small red marble at Gu Yao.
Gu Yao saw the marble approaching him and saw the image of a cow that had a trunk running around inside the marble.
"MOO!" A loud sound of a cow was heard as an illusory figure started forming in the air.
The figure started expanding and became unstable.
"Flicker…" Lin Mu muttered as dodged the incoming attack of Gu Yao.
"Blink…" He said as he reached his companion that was closest to him, Wu Hei. He picked him up and threw him to the other side of the chamber. With Lin Mu's raw strength, it was an easy task.
"Blink…" He used again to teleport to the Supreme elder and throwing him near Wu Hei as well.
"Phase…" Lin Mu muttered as he passed straight through Qing Yuan Tiu, who had decided to block him.
"Huh! HOW?" She said in shock before she was clocked at the side of her head.
~thud~
The attack wasn't strong enough to kill her, but it was enough to knock her away.
"Blink…" Lin Mu used to get to the Peak Master Yi Deng.
He glanced at the illusory figure of the Truck faced cow that was close to exploding and then at Gu Yao who was waving his hands, creating gestures to block the Bloodline Crystal from exploding. Merely five seconds had passed since Lin Mu had thrown the red marble at Gu Yao, and he knew that he was acting on borrowed time and thus had to be as fast as possible.
Not bothering with any kind of etiquette, Lin Mu grasped the leg of the peak Master Yi Deng, which was pointed up to the back, as he was frozen in that position. Holding it tightly, Lin Mu swung him hard before throwing him to the same place where Wu Hei and the Supreme elder were.
Lin Mu barely had less than two seconds left, and there were still three people left. But he didn't know if it would be worth saving them as they were under the control of Gu Yao.
"You can get one of them for now. They haven't received any orders from Gu Yao and thus haven't acted." Xukong informed.
Lin Mu realized that even during all that he had done, the three servants had not acted even if Qing Yuan Tiu had done so. This meant that they couldn't act unless given specific orders verbally.
Lin Mu blinked to Wu Teng and tackled him to the other corner, not caring for any injuries he may cause him for now.
~Shiing~
The waves of energy from the bloodline crystal of the Trunk Faced cow reached the peak and started exploding.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" Gu Yao shouted before creating a blood dome around him.
Lin Mu paid him no mind and just muttered, "fade…"
~KABOOOOOOM!!!~
Lin Mu appeared inside the parallel space just a moment before the explosion happened, and he took a breath of relief.
"Now onto the next part…" Lin Mu muttered before moving to the area where he had thrown the four men to. He had already extended his spirit sense there beforehand and thus didn't have a problem getting there.
Him throwing the four men to the corner was just a way to minimize the injuries to them. Lin Mu was betting on the fact that the explosion from the Bloodline crystal would make Gu Yao lose control of the skill that he was using.
This would cause the peak master Yi Deng and Supreme elder to get freed and perhaps even Wu Teng. If that happened, Xukong had told Lin Mu that the two nascent soul realm experts should be able to defend themselves. And even if they didn't they should have some defensive treasures on them that should protect them.
Lin Mu had a good idea that Wu Hei had one of the defensive treasures and had thus thrown him to the side as well. Though he didn't know if it would be enough to bear the explosion of a bloodline Crystal.
The explosion of a bloodline Crystal had the same power as that of a spirit core explosion. When a beast or a cultivator had no choice and still wanted to defeat their foes, they would explode their cores as a final gambit.
