Chapter 407: Flipping The Odds (1/2)
Since the bloodline crystal was formed from the beast core of the trunk faced cow along with all of its vitality and spirit qi, Lin Mu was sure that it would be even stronger than that if not the same strength. Xukong had told Lin Mu that the detonation of a spirit core or a beast core could have the same power as that of the attack of a nascent soul realm.
Another aspect of this was that the explosion of a beast or spirit core could cause a large amount of spirit qi waves that could disturb control skills like the one that Gu Yao was using.
But what Lin Mu had done wasn't something that could be done carelessly. In fact, no one would have thought that a bloodline crystal could be made to explode like this. A properly refined bloodline Crystal was far too precious to be used as an expendable item like this.
If someone wanted to use it as a bomb, there were far more cheaper alternatives that could be used without much problem and they would not be as dangerous either.
A second Lin Mu reached the area where he had thrown the four men; Wu Hei, Wu Teng, Yi Deng, and the supreme elder. He ate another earthen qi pill and waited for a couple more seconds before deactivating the skill fade and reappearing in the real world.
~rumble~
~crack~
The chamber was still shaking due to the explosion, and cracks were spreading all around. Lin Mu immediately spread his spirit sense around to get an idea of the area and saw a barrier set up where he was standing. Inside the barrier, the supreme elder and the peak master Yi Deng were standing, maintaining the barrier.
The barrier had a multitude of cracks on it and looked like it would break any moment. Yi Deng and the supreme elder were injured as blood dripped out of their mouths and noses. Their clothes were torn in multiple places and the peak master's leg was bent at an awkward angle. It was evident that it was now broken.
Lin Mu looked for the other two people and found them to be in a slightly better condition. Wu Teng was knocked out and his head was bleeding. His ribs seemed to be broken as well at the place where Lin Mu had tackled him in.
Wu Hei was lying on the ground and was conscious. There were some scratches and cuts on his body along with his clothes being tattered, but there was also a blue glow protecting him. The glow was coming from a pendant that he had on his neck.
It had been hidden beneath his clothes all this time, but now it had been revealed due to the explosion.
~Shatter~
But the pendant did not last for long as its energy ran out and it shattered into multiple pieces.
