Chapter 845 - Humiliation And Anger (1/2)

In the hall, not all of the indents and scratches were filled with blood.

Only very specific ones were filled with the blood and once Lin Mu saw all of them, he could make out a very specific shape. It was not like any character or letter he had seen, and neither was it any pattern he was familiar with.

~WEEENG~

The pattern lit up and glowed in a blood red light.

~HUALA~

A very strange energy erupted from the pattern and snuffed out all of the spirit qi in the air. The energy rushed towards Lin Mu and coated his body. Lin Mu could not dodge it and found his control over spirit qi falling rapidly.

”HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!” Lin Mu exclaimed.

He could understand if the spirit qi in the air was restrained, but even the spirit qi in his own body was not in his control anymore. His dantian was soon covered in the same strange energy and he was unable to use any spirit qi at this point.

”Ehehehehe! Do you like that? DO YOU FEEL THAT!” Ku Waowen said out loud.

A deep frown appeared on Lin Mu's face and knew that he had been fooled.

”She was making this thing the entire time… She never wanted to kill me from the start, she was just making it seem like it.” Lin Mu understood.

”She used the same method that you used earlier.” Xukong spoke.

His voice though, was eerily calm. Lin Mu didn't particularly notice it as he was more focused on the situation at hand. He felt both humiliated and lost at this.

'I thought I had everything under control.' Lin Mu realized he had done the very thing he had long decided not to do: underestimating his opponent.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Mu slammed his foot creating spiderweb like cracks in the floor and shot towards Ku Waowen.

”I DON'T NEED SPIRIT QI TO DEFEAT YOU!” Lin Mu said staunchly.

Ku Waowen was a taken aback by Lin Mu's action.

'This kid… how is he doing this?' Ku Waowen thought.

While she had understood that Lin Mu was strong, she didn't know that his strength didn't just come from spirit qi. Lin Mu was a body cultivator as well and had the same strength as that of an Adult Soul Stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator that was at the very peak just with his body.

A casual punch of his could break apart boulders and turn them to dust, which was something that normal cultivators would need to use spirit qi to do. They would have to first amplify their body with spirit qi and reinforce it, or they would end up injuring themselves.

But this effect was temporary and would only last as long as they maintained that state. It also consumed their spirit qi continually as long as they kept it active. But Lin Mu was not like that. Even if he had no spirit qi, he would still stay like that.

Not only that, if he ever lost his spirit qi cultivation base, his body cultivation would always be there. Crippling that was not a simple thing.

~BANG~

Lin Mu's fist buried into the ground where Ku Waowen was standing and missed her.

”Dammit!” Lin Mu cursed and looked around to find her again.

With the loss of his spirit sense, he couldn't react as fast as before either.

”Seems like there are more secrets to you than I thought. You will be the perfect gift for ancestors. They will be happy to pry out each and every secret of yours!” Ku Waowen said in a happy tone.
