Chapter 389: A Swift Murder (1/2)

The people in the audience couldn't help but cover up their ears as the loud noise assaulted their ears and made them shudder in their seats. They were also shocked at what had happened. One moment Lin Mu was dodging the greenish wind orbs from Qing Yuan Tiu and in the next, he suddenly punched the floor.

The power of that punch was completely on a different level, such that the floor was shattered and thick stone dust blew up in the air, clouding their vision. The ring was made of a black stone that was common and could be easily carved.

It was sturdy enough to handle a majority of attacks of the cultivators below Core condensation realm and most Qi refining realm cultivators would not be able to even crack it with their strength unless they had some unique qi skills.

Qing Yuan Tiu herself was knocked back and fell to the ground as the floor beneath her broke. She was in a daze from the force of the shock wave that punch had caused. It took her a moment to realize what had just happened when the terror got to her.

'He's hiding in the dust!' Qing Yuan Tiu thought.

She extended her spirit sense and scanned the area, trying to find Lin Mu. Qing Yuan Tiu couldn't say that she was that talented in refining spirit sense as her's was barely at the minimum level that the core condensation realm cultivators had. But even then, its range was large enough to check the entire area.

”Huh? Where did he go?” Qing Yuan Tiu said, feeling surprised.

'Did he leave the ring by any chance? But that would mean he lost the fight.' Qing Yuan Tiu thought and extended her spirit sense beyond the ring. But when she couldn't see him even there, she was utterly confused.

”NO! He must have a technique to mask his presence!” Qing Yuan Tiu realized and braced herself to defend.

But unlike what she was thinking, Lin Mu really wasn't on the ring. Rather, he had used the Fourth skill Fade and entered the parallel space. Just before he punched the floor with the Boulder collapsing fist, Lin Mu had shot out his spirit sense and made a guide towards the location of the junior elder Fa Shiu.

In the parallel space, Lin Mu rushed along with his spirit sense as a guide. His eyes were bloodshot as he pushed his body to the next level. Spirit qi was thrumming in his meridians as his muscles filled with power.

”It's now or never,” Lin Mu muttered to himself before deactivating the fourth skill fade and appearing in the real world.

His short sword was already in his hand and packed with spirit qi. This was the most he had amplified it with till now, and he had used liquid spirit qi this time. As soon as he appeared there, he was just behind the Junior Elder Fa Shiu.
