Chapter 2383 Against Elite Troops
Seeing the state that everyone was in and the battle that had already injured his companions, Lin Mu quickly jumped into it.
~SHING~ SHING~
Drawing out his two swords, Lin Mu swung them at the Black Fin Island members.
A yellow and blue slash rushed towards the Black Fin Island members, but they reacted faster than Lin Mu had expected.
"Wither Mist Wall!" One of the Black Fin Island members said before making an upward sweeping gesture with his hands.
~SHUA~
Dark energy rose from his feet and spread in front of him, turning into a wall of black mist. The two sword slashes seemingly consumed by this wall, rendering Lin Mu's attack useless.
"Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm?" Lin Mu noticed that the man was not weak. "No, wait… most of them are like that." He was surprised. ~ROAR~
Little Shrubby too jumped into the fray, though he went around and started attacking the Black Fin Island members from the other side. ~WHOOSH~
Fiery energy accompanied his form, as the temperature of the area was raised quickly. Little Shrubby might be at the Third Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm, but his attacks were a lot more powerful than that such that even the Black Fin Island members had to take them seriously.
But the Withering energy they used could actually block Little Shrubby's flames too, and the beast couldn't come close due to the sudden spikes of it.
Seeing this, Lin Mu knew he would have to interfere in this in a different away.
"Blink." Lin Mu suddenly disappeared from the sight of the Black Fin Island members and appeared in the middle of them.
~SLICK~ SLICK~
With two swift cuts, he decapitated one of the members and chopped off the legs of the other, causing him to fall helplessly onto the ground.
"AHH!"
"He's here!" the Black Fin Island members called out, but before they could react to it properly, Lin Mu disappeared once more.
~THUD~ THUD~
Two more corpses fell, as either their heads were cut off, or their hearts had been stabbed.
'Ugh… the Withering Energy.' Lin Mu could feel the wisps of the foul energy trying to enter his body, but he was resiting it with the effect of the Bale Resist pills. 'They're using a strategy that prevents us from approaching them easily.' He understood.
Not only were the Yin Nascent Soul Maggots releasing the Withering energy, but the Black Fin Island member's skills and techniques were doing the same. This energy would seep into the ground, or linger in the air, making it dangerous for anyone to get too close.
It was the same as poisoning one's fields to prevent others from entering. Expect in this case the Black Fin Island members seemed to be immune to the effects of the Withering energy.
'Yao Changying has certainly done something to them. They've suddenly gotten stronger and can use better skills.' Lin Mu compared them to the previous ones he had fought.
If those were some common cannon fodder, these Black Fin Island members seemed to be elite troops.
"AHH~!" While fighting them, Lin Mu heard a loud scream, making him look at it. "Crown Princess Shang!" he recognized the voice.
The Crown Princess had been struck by a stray tentacle of a Yin Nascent Soul Maggot that had popped up from the ground behind her and struck her.
"Stop!" Ziran clenched his fist and struck the tentacle, causing it get pierced in tens of thorns that popped up from the man's knuckles upon contact.
~WHOOSH~
With the other hand, Ziran swung a thorny whip that severed two more tentacles that were trying to sneak up from behind.
"Monk Hushu!" Daoist Chu called out to the man.
"On it!" the monk said as he quickly reached Crown Princess Shang and placed his hands over her injury.
~Humm~
He chanted to prevent the Withering Energy from infecting to deep.
"I'll purge it too." Crown Princess Shang said, as she used her rich wood elemental immortal Qi to push it out.
Through the combined work, they were able to purge it out of her body, but this also meant that there were fewer hands fighting now and the pressure on the others had risen.
"Just a bit more. Daoist Lin Mu is already here." Crown Prince Feng Shun said as he created a Glaive made out of Wind Elemental Immortal Qi and swung it against the head of a maggot.
~WOO~
A sharp wind accompanied the glaive's blade as it cut the maggot's head a tenth of the way, acrid blood spilling from its wound.
~SCREECH~
The maggot cried in pain as it hissed at Crown Prince while trying to exhale its contaminated breath at him.
~ZAP~
But Crown Prince Feng Shun simply took this chance to send a lightning bolt into the Maggot's mouth, throughly rocking its insides.
Lin Mu, who saw all this happen within seconds, quickly formulated a plan and knew what had to be done.
'I need to get rid of the Yin Nascent Soul maggots first.' Knowing which target was the most dangerous, Lin Mu quickly blinked and appeared behind two Black Fin Island members.
He raised his hands sideways, placing them on the bodies of two men, surprising them. "Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang." Lin Mu said lightly.
~SPLAT~ SPLAT~
And in the next moment, the chests of the two men exploded as the twins burst forth from them!
~HISS~ HISS~
The snakes smelled the scent of blood as well as the foul energies. They sensed the unease in Lin Mu's mind and quickly knew what to do.
"Go wild." Lin Mu said before the twins darted away.
~WHOSOH~WHOOSH~
Unlike the others, the twins didn't have to care about the Baleful Energies and directly charged towards the Black Fin Island members. They tried to launch their tainted weapons towards them, but the snakes simply opened their mouths and ate them whole!
Before they even knew what happened, their chests had been pierced through!
