Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu's decision of going on ahead alone with Little Shrubby was the correct one. But even then, he was still a bit late.

By the time he arrived, most of the disciples were already killed and their remains were strewn across the ground. 

This incited anger within Lin Mu that even Little Shrubby could feel. The beast knew his master didn't get angry often, but when he did, it meant something truly bad had happened. And since his master was feeling angry, he too felt angry.

In his fury, Lin Mu directly jumped off Little Shrubby's back and blocked the strange beast that was about to kill the three disciples that were unable to dodge. 

"Foul beast!" Lin Mu said in anger as he blocked it. 

~GUOOOOO~

The beast growled at him in anger, but Lin Mu cared little for him. The beast continued to push forward, but Lin Mu was like a thick iron tower; immovable!

Lin Mu was holding onto the beast's tail and pulled on them, passing them onto just one of his hands. 

"DIE YOU BEAST!" Lin Mu said, his voice filled with rage.

Raising his freed hand, he slammed his elbow into the head of the beast.

~THUD!~

The beast felt his head spinning as it slammed into the ground at breakneck speed. Of course, when its head slammed into the ground, his body did the same.

~ROAR!~

Little Shrubby let out a dominating roar that sent fear drilling down the beast's bloodline.

~BOOM~

Little Shrubby's claws lit up in a blinding flash as he swiped at the beast's back, severing all the tails and burning away the flesh!

~GUO!!!!!~

The beast woke up due to the searing pain coming from its back and opened its eyes again. The momentary unconsciousness faded away and the familiar rage reappeared.

Lin Mu could peer into the beast's eyes and understood that the beast was not in control at all. 

'Any beast should have run away at this point, either due to me or simply due to Little Shrubby's presence. Especially after being injured this much, it would prefer to retreat. But it does not have the same level of intelligence it should anymore.' Lin Mu analyzed.

The beast stood up and wanted to attack again, but Lin Mu would never give it that chance.

Raising his fist, Lin Mu hammered it back down onto the ground.

~BOOM~

His punch directly exploded the bony horns of the beast and reduced them to fragments before burying into the head.

~THUD~

The head of the beast created a crater in the ground as spiderweb like cracks spread from it.

But Lin Mu didn't stop there.

Raising his fist high up in the sky, Lin Mu brought it down again, this time like a sledgehammer that was hammering a fence post into the ground.

~KACHA~

~BOOM~

The beast's skull certainly could not bear the force and directly exploded into bone and flesh fragments.

With its life thereby ended, Lin Mu took a slight breath of relief. Even if this had not taken him much to do, the situation was stressful, and he did not want the disciples to die for no reason.

"Little Shrubby," Lin Mu called out, and the beast knew exactly what he meant.

~Shua~

From the corpse of the beast, a mass of swirling light came out, which them materialized into a miniature form of the beast.

~GRRR!~

But before it could fly away and escape, Little Shrubby's jaws closed around it, snuffing it out of existence.

~thud~thud~thud~

The three disciples collapsed onto the ground as the stress of death passed over.

"WE'RE SAVED!"

The three of them directly started bawling and cried their eyes out. Thinking that something was wrong, Lin Mu went to check up on them.

"Are you okay?" Lin Mu questioned the three with a look of concern.

"UWAAAAAA!" but unexpectedly for him, the three disciples directly hugged his legs and continued to cry.

"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" 

"THANK YOU FOR SAVING US!"

"I felt like I was going to die for sure!"

The two girls and boys said while crying. It was a little hard for Lin Mu to make out what they were saying but still managed to in the end.

~Sigh~

"They are too traumatized to speak normally…" Lin Mu muttered as he let his spirit sense scan the three.

In a few seconds he was done and found that they were not in any life threating condition. While they certainly had injuries and their spirit Qi was depleted, they were relatively fine.

A frown then appeared on Lin Mu's face as he scanned the surroundings. 

"1… 2… 10… 18… 24…" Lin Mu counted the dead bodies.

He looked back at the three disciples, wanting to ask them some things, but gave up seeing that they had not stopped crying.

'Guess we'll wait for them to arrive.' Lin Mu thought and waited.

In the mean time, he let his spirit sense wander in search of the other two disciples that had managed to fly away.

"There they are… and they're passed out…" Lin Mu said as he sensed the two of them laying on the ground three hundred meters away.

He quickly checked their condition as well and saw that they were actually in a worse condition than the three with him. They had worse injuries and had also strained their meridians.

'They are not even at the core condensation realm. Flying like this would be very taxing for them even if they are the disciples of a top sect.' Lin Mu thought and sent a message to Little Shrubby.

"Bring them here and be careful." Lin Mu ordered.

"Okay!" Little Shrubby responded before running away.

He reappeared twenty seconds later with the two fainted disciples on his back. They were being held on by the five prosthetic hands just so that they would not fall off while he ran.

Lin Mu's attention was pulled back to the three crying disciples and he shook his head. His lips lightly moved, and some faint chants were heard.

The three disciples became still upon hearing it and then quickly fell asleep.

"They'll be fine after they wake up now."
