Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 388 - The Peak Master And Junior Elderʼs Arrival!

Lin Muʼs was fine upon hearing the first name but the second name made his face tense up. He didnʼt dare turn around and simply looked through the side of his hair. It had grown long enough that it reached the base of his neck and covered the side of his face.

Looking from this angle, it hid his face, but he was still able to see through the gaps in his hair locks. He gazed at the person accompanying Peak master Yi Deng and indeed found him to be Junior Elder Fa Shiu who he had missed out on killing.

Wu Hei had looked for the man everywhere in the city as well as the outskirts but the man had disappeared in a strange manner. There were still people looking for him but were unsuccessful. Lin Mu was still a bit worried about him in these past few days but since the man had not shown up his concern had lessened.

But now it had been turned up to the very max and made him anxious. He looked towards Wu Hei and saw him glancing at him too. There was a warning in his sight that told him not to act right now. Lin Mu could tell that even Wu Hei was taken aback and was quickly thinking of something.

”Alright fighters take their place, and… Fight!” The referee ordered.

The Peak master and Fa Shiu were walking towards the seating area and had barely seen towards the fighting ring. Even the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect seemed to be a bit surprised but also delighted at the same time. Fa Lao was elated at the sight of his elder brother as well.

Lin Muʼs attention was still a bit distracted due to this, and thus he slowed his response when Qing Yuan Tiu attacked him first.

~Whoosh~

Unlike before, Qing Yuan Tiu was using a different technique and had not extended the metal rods. Instead of using the Gale River Palm, she was using a different qi skill. This skill had created a few swirling orbs of greenish winds that floated around Qing Yuan Tiu.

She had shot out one of these very orbs at Lin Mu. Qing Yuan Tiu knew that she had to change her strategy against Lin Mu as the boy was much faster than her. While she had confidence that she could defeat him in a fight of pure strength, he had the upper hand here due to his speed.

If she were to use her spirit sword to fly, she would be much faster than him, but her techniqueʼs requirements were completely different and required her to be immobile. If she locked herself into a place using the metal rods, she had no doubt that Lin Mu would be able to cover the distance quickly.

While his attacks may not hurt her, Lin Mu didnʼt have to particularly hurt her. With his raw strength, all he had to do was throw her out of the ring to defeat her. Another thing was her metal rods prevented her from being pushed back, but not from being pulled upwards, which was what Lin Mu could attempt to do.

Thus she used a different technique that she had in her arsenal. This one was much weaker than the Gale river palm but could be used without her needing to be immobile. Plus, her control with this technique was also much better.

Qing Yuan Tiu had not expected that there would be a repeat of the result of the last round. But somehow Lin Mu was also distracted, like Enlai Lan. And did not react in time. She wondered if her luck had been increased somehow.

But when the greenish wind orb struck Lin Mu, Qing Yuan Tiu did not see the effect that she wanted. A brownish yellow barrier appeared on Lin Muʼs body and easily blocked the orb before cracking and disappearing.

The Earthen Qi pillʼs barrier had protected Lin Mu from the attack of Qing Yuan Tiu.

”Dammit!” Lin Mu cursed under his breath.

He had made a rather large mistake and had lost his secondary means of protection, which was to be the earthen qi pillʼs barrier. Now not only did he have to fight Qing Yuan Tiu but also hide his face from the Junior elder Fa Shiu.

Lin Mu quickly started thinking of ideas as his thoughts ran like lightning.

Qing Yuan Tiu got rid of her surprise quickly and sent another orb flying towards Lin Mu.

~woosh~

This time Lin Mu was able to dodge it by an inch. He could not use Blink and nor could he use Flicker to dodge these attacks. His legs were already strengthened with spirit qi, and their power was amplified. Using his quick movements and agility, Lin Mu started dodging the orbs that were thrown towards him.

By now, peak Master Yi Deng and Junior elder Fa Shiu had reached the seating area and were going towards the seats that were reserved for them. It was along with the rest of the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect.

Once they reached the top and talked with others, Lin Mu knew that it would become close to immortal for him to hide his identity.

While Lin Mu was thinking his speed has slowed by the slightest and Qing Yuan Tiu noticed this.

ʼSo he canʼt keep up this speed continuously… it must be quite taxing on him.ʼ She thought.

Qing Yuan Tiu then flourished her hands and spread them wide. Ten more greenish wind orbs formed and surrounded her.

”GO!” she uttered and flicked her hands towards Lin Mu.

The orbs mirrored her actions and flew towards Lin Mu, some going in a straight line while the others curving around to surround him from all sides.

Lin Mu saw them coming and gritted his teeth.

”Iʼll have to try it at least…” He muttered to himself before his eyes lit up with a fierce flint.

Qing Yuan Tiu saw it for a moment and was surprised, before feeling a tinge of fear in her heart.

ʼBoulder Collapsing Fist: First form- Impact!ʼ

~BOOM~

A big cloud of dust was kicked up, shrouding the ring.
