Chapter 618: A Tricky Technique (1/2)

Upon being informed by Lin Mu, Jing Luo became even more alert and watched out for any sneak attacks. His wariness turned out to be right, as just after a few seconds, he could hear something approaching him at great speed.

~whoosh~

”You can't attack me that easily!” Jing Luo said before withdrawing a shield from his spatial storage.

~DENG~

The shield vibrated as it defended against the mist sword that had just attacked him. The shield was also a spirit weapon and was of high grade. Jing Luo had spent quite a few resources in making this particular shield after witnessing the power of Lin Mu's attacks.

He reckoned that he needed better ways to defend himself than the ones he had before. Back then, Jing Luo did not have the access to the resources below the mountain due to the Earthen Depths Obsidian blocking his way.

But once he got them, he basically had a free rein over what he wanted to make. Thus, Jing Luo took all liberties and built the best shield his current skill and materials allowed. He was even sure that this shield could block Lin Mu's Boulder collapsing fist's second form: Piercer.

Though he had not tested it out against that yet. Still, compared to that level of an attack, the shield had no problem blocking the mist sword. The mist sword dissipated after being blocked and Jing Luo watched out for more.

~whoosh~

~whoosh~

~whoosh~

One after the other, more and more mist weapons appeared from the mist and attacked Jing Luo. Lin Mu was having the same problem, but he was able to dodge most of them using just his speed.

And the ones that he was unable to dodge were taken care of by using Flicker and blink.

”You won't be able to dodge for long! Sooner or later you two will run out of spirit Qi and become fish on my chopping block!” The first elder taunted.

Lin Mu focused on his voice and tried to sense where it came from, but could not do so. The voice was too scattered and even echoed, making it hard to distinguish its source.

”Dammit, without spirit Qi it will be very hard…” Lin Mu cursed.

But soon a solution appeared in his mind. He did not know if it would be effective, be he decided to try it nonetheless. Lin Mu closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them. This time, his spatial perception was in full effect and he was doing his best.

Slowly, the mist started to fade in front of Lin Mu and an empty space appeared around him. His eyes wandered around searching for the location of the first elder, but his body stayed in the same place.

~thud~

~thud~

~thud~

Lin Mu could not move or use any of his skills as that would cause disturbance in the space which would prevent him from finding the first elder. Thus, all he could do now was let the armor made by the Mortal Strengthening Scripture bear it all.
