Chapter 488: Meld And Bandits (1/2)

The men were now frozen in fear and could only look at Lin Mu as he casually approached them. He bent and looked at the underside of their torsos and the bottom parts of their bodies.

”Hmm… interesting… very interesting.” Lin Mu said.

”This is rather unexpected, this level of spatial manipulation… amazing,” Xukong said.

”Indeed senior. But the drain on spirit Qi… it is still quite a lot. And it hasn't stopped either, the longer I keep this state the longer it keeps on draining.” Lin Mu replied.

”Well… let's see what happens when it stops.” Xukong suggested.

The members of the Gu Legion could not see who Lin Mu was talking to and it terrified them. His words were especially depressing to them as they could see their demise in the proximity.

”Alright,” Lin Mu said and stopped the skill.

A cacophony of screams echoed in the town at that moment as blood and guts splattered on the earth, the stench spreading in the air.

~Woof~

~Howl~

The stray dogs smelled the scent of the blood and howled in excitement, while the people of the town tightly closed their doors and windows, fearing that if they went out, they may suffer the same fate as what those voices did.

The scream of the men only lasted for a couple of seconds after which a deathly silence had descended in the town.

”Uff… this is a messy skill…” Lin Mu said as he wiped the blood that had splattered onto his robes and hands.

”Should have gone a bit far before deactivating the skill… now these robes are stained too…” Lin Mu complained.

Lin Mu walked to the bodies and stored each of them into the ring. There was still blood left on the ground but Lin Mu didn't care for it much as the stray dogs would take care of that for him.

They had already rushed to the place and were licking the spilled blood.

”At least they were good to be food for the dogs.” Lin Mu muttered to himself before fading away.

The next morning, the townsmen would find more of their populace missing but they would not forget the pain filled screams that they had heard. A legend would be born from this day onwards of a being that swallowed men whole, not even leaving blood behind.

But the person behind this, Lin Mu could not care less. He simply contacted Wu Hei to tell him what had happed.

~Sigh~

”Since they are the ones that chose to attack you and they were not in their robes I should be able to find it. I'll frame it as if they attacked a cultivator that was beyond their strengths and were killed. Won't be the first time something like this has happened so we should be fine.” Wu Hei said.

”Alright… at least there won't be any kidnappings in the near future there.” Lin Mu said.

”Master, you're back already?” Little Shrubby asked.
