534 Hard Rock (2/2)
Moments later, the rock turned into fine rune markings which gave off their final glow before dispersing with the wind and vanishing completely.
”They are indeed not real.”
Qin Mu straightened his back and looked around. The mountains which stretched up and down into the distance should have been materialized by Fu Riluo and Saint Woodcutter using runes. Their abilities didn't seem to have reached the level where they could create real matter.
Suddenly, Fu Riluo's voice boomed as though it was thunder from outer space. ”In battles of life and death, there are no rules! This sand table will be their battlegrounds, and each side will have ten people in total. The side that comes out victorious will be the winner! How is this suggestion?”
Qin Mu's heart stirred slightly. 'Sand table?'
He raised his head to look toward the source of the voice and saw Fu Riluo and Saint Woodcutter's incomparably huge faces beyond the sky. They looked like planets in outer space.
'This means that even though the plaza looks countless times larger, it should still be the same from the outside.'
Qin Mu was endlessly astonished. This kind of thing was simply beyond his imagination!
Upon coming, he had already calculated the size of the plaza.
It had a palace on each side. They were most likely located in the left yin and the right yang.
Qin Mu had walked all the way down the main road, then went up the steps to enter the plaza. It was not even a hundred yards in width and had a length of a hundred and fifty yards. Both sides had steps which led to the palaces beside.
If one looked down from the sky, the two palaces and plaza would present the divinatory diagram from Li Divinatory Trigrams, so Li Fire was born.
Now, the interior space of the plaza had been expanded numerous times, but to the outside world, it still looked a hundred fifty by a hundred yards. It was still the divinatory diagram from Li Divinatory Trigram with the two big palace halls.
To Saint Woodcutter, Fu Riluo, Pang Yu, and the rest of the gods and devils, Qin Mu was located on a small sand table. All of his movements could be clearly seen like the markings on the palm.
Qin Mu narrowed his eyes. Now he had two roads to take. One road was to retreat back to the side of the big palace hall and continue to use Li Fire to refine his swords. The other road was to head to the center of the sand table world.
That place was where Saint Woodcutter and Fu Riluo's spear were. Instead of searching around, it would be better to go somewhere where everyone knew others would head too.
As long as they were smart, they would realize that the first to reach the place where the axe and spear crossed would have the upper hand. That was because being a step earlier would allow them to set up traps and formations while waiting for others to deliver themselves!
'I refined three hundred and sixteen swords; that's enough for me.'
Qin Mu moved, swiftly increasing his speed to rush toward the center of the sand table world. Cripple's Heaven Pilfering Divine Legs were executed to their extreme, and he became as fast as flowing light!
Boom!
His speed surpassed sound, and the wall of air in front of him exploded like a white cloud. Vapor brushed his face as he passed through it.
At that moment, Qin Mu heard loud explosions and looked in the direction of the noise. Figures in the distance had also broken through the speed of sound and left behind vapor clouds among the mountains.
The circular vapor clouds gradually spread out in an extremely eye-catching manner.
There were a total of nineteen clouds, and they betrayed nineteen experts with incomparably powerful corporeal bodies surpassing the speed of sound at the same time!
It was evident that they had all realized that if they were a step earlier than the others in reaching the place where the ax and the spear crossed, they would be at a great advantage and hold the upper hand!
Veins popped on Qin Mu's head. Only now did he realize that he was the slowest among the twenty people in the sand table world!
Even Sang Hua's speed was actually a bit faster than his!
The nineteen experts were all people who were equivalent to young true gods. The techniques they cultivated allowed their bodies to reach a height that surpassed Qin Mu!
Just like that, the speed that Qin Mu was so proud of finally lost to experts on the same realm!
Suddenly, Qin Mu stopped and turned to leave. Everyone was heading to where the axe and the spear crossed so that place would be the most dangerous place instead. Everyone couldn't shake each other off in speed, so the result of running there would be a collision of twenty divine arts practitioners. In the end, it would become a huge and messy brawl.
In such a chaotic situation, it was easy for accidents to happen. Even if he possessed better abilities, he could be surrounded and killed.
Since it was like that, he might as well not go there.
The next moment, the nineteen figures that were rushing toward the place where the ax and spear crossed suddenly turned invisible and vanished. He couldn't see where they went.
Qin Mu was slightly stunned, and his expression became grim. 'The ones that have survived for so long in Supreme Emperor Heaven are indeed not stupid and have all thought of the same thing. Interesting, I've finally met my match... In that case, I won't look for you guys, but will wait for you to find me!”
His body suddenly broke through the air and sprinted straight to the borders of the sand table world. Over there was a wall of fire that was dozens of miles high and the burning palace hall formed the wall between Li Fire and the devil fire.
After a moment, the sound of iron being beaten came from the sand table world. It could be heard ten miles away.
In no time, Qin Mu saw the first person coming over. It was an alluring girl with a graceful posture.
”The ten divine arts practitioners of Supreme Emperor Heaven are all powerful, but you're the weak link.” The alluring girl looked at Qin Mu's back and giggled. ”I don't have the confidence to deal with the other people, so I could only come to take the first credit.”
”Sister.” Qin Mu turned his head to give her a radiant smile. ”You might have stubbed your toe on a hard rock.”
