Chapter 339: Escaping The Conflict (1/2)

Lord Cai took labored breaths, and it was obvious that he had exerted quite a bit of strength. The old man had amplified his strength with spirit qi and Lin Mu had done the same but just for defending. He didn't dare to use too much either, or the Axe of the old man would have been cut in half with the short sword slashing into his body.

Seeing that nothing was working, the old man gritted his teeth and held onto a pendant that he was wearing.

”Let's see you handle this!” Lord Cai shouted.

As soon as he said that, the formation lit up and small discs started forming in the air. The discs seemed to be made out of energy and glowed with a pale white color. Their numbers soon started to increase and in a few seconds reached a hundred.

”What is that…” Lin Mu muttered.

”Get ready to defend, that's an offensive formation!” Xukong warned.

Lin Mu's eyes went wide as he jumped back.

~shing~

The place he was standing at was hit with a disk. Looking at it one could tell that it was sharp and could easily cut someone's limbs off. Lin Mu dodged the discs, but a few of them were still able to cute him due to the sheer number of them.

”You won't escape now!” Lord Cai taunted.

Lin Mu gritted his teeth and was now seriously considering taking the old man out. He had tried giving him a chance, but this was too much.

But then suddenly Lin Mu felt the fluctuation in the formation array.

”Its… getting weaker?” Lin Mu realized.

”The formation is consuming a lot of spirit qi right now, and the energy source is probably getting low now,” Xukong said.

Lin Mu quickly probed the old man and while he could tell he had depleted some of his spirit qi, it was still at seventy five percent.

”Looks like the source is spirit stones rather than his own spirit qi.” Lin Mu concluded.

Lin Mu had now left the room he was in and was going through a long corridor. There were rooms on both sides of it, but he couldn't affair to switch his direction will all the disks attacking him. They were able to appear out of the walls and he couldn't do much.

”Dammit, I didn't want to do this…” Lin Mu uttered.

He kept on running and got ready. Spirit qi circulated in his body and gathered in his arm. By the time he reached a large wall, he was done.

Boulder collapsing fist: Second form-Piercer!

~Swoosh~

~BOOM~

The needle like spirit qi pierced the barrier that was placed on the wall with ease. It was this that was preventing Lin Mu from leaving the house, and while he knew he could destroy it, something like that would cause a big commotion and bring more attention to him.

That's what he was intending to avoid, but now he had no choice. The needle exploded the wall after it entered it and opened up a seven feet wide hole in it. Lin Mu could see the outside area with it and was now free to leave.
