Chapter 1834 Doubts On Yao Changying

Xukongʼs explanation was enough to make Lin Mu take this with grave seriousness.

Enough that he was even willing to use his spatial skills if push came to shove.

ʼBut before that, I can still use something… Itʼll definitely injure me too, but I can still handle that.ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself with determination.

~SHAU~SHUA~SHUA~

Yao Changying hadnʼt stopped her attacks either and swung her sword nonstop. Her expression looked a mix of anger and confusion though, which intrigued Lin Mu a bit.

~BOOM~ BOOM~

Of course, Lin Mu didnʼt dare take the attacks directly with his body. While he could somewhat stall the effects of the Withering Dao, he didnʼt wish to let it affect him more. Instead, he let the True Earth Heart Dao Embryoʼs shield take care of it.

~CRACK~

Of course, this led to the shield cracking several times and rocks falling off it. Lin Mu removed the limits on the Dao Embryo and let it absorb as much of his Immortal Qi as it could. He wasnʼt rationing his Qi anymore and was letting it flow as it wished.

Because of this, the regeneration speed of the great shield increased and was able to recover before the next flurry of attacks.

”Stop running and face your end!” Yao Changying shouted gathering a large cloud of the slate grey aura and thrusting out with it.

The aura transformed into a strange worm that had no eyes but only a mouth. Its body had open wounds on it that were festering and oozing with pus.

It looked disgusting, and the audience started to realize that something was wrong here.

”What is Yao Changying doing?”

”What kind of skill is that? It is certainly not of the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect.” The people in the audience wondered.

Though a few experienced elders in the audience could tell that what Yao Changying was using might not necessarily be of the Orthodox path.

And it wasnʼt just them thinking this, the Elder of the temple overseeing this felt the same.

As such, he secretly held a communication jade slip and sent a message.

ʼYao Changying is using lethal attacks using an unorthodox technique. Should I stop the fight?ʼ The elder asked while trying to keep a neutral expression on his face.

It wouldnʼt do anyone good for him to show anxiety or uncertainty on his face. There were millions of people watching at this time from several worlds. If he showed that things were going wrong, it could lead to a loss of face for the temple.

If they hastily stopped the fight, and things turned out to still be appropriate, the temple could be blamed for incorrect decisions.

ʼIt isnʼt the first time someone is using unorthodox techniques… And contestants do tend to get agitated when fighting, perhaps Yao Changying is just too angered but wonʼt take the drastic path.ʼ The overseeing elder hoped.

Though he also wondered what exactly was the skill that Yao Changying was using. In all his thousands of years of experience, he had never seen an aura of that sort.

ʼFormation masters, do we have data on Yao Changyingʼs technique?ʼ The overseeing elder asked while watching Lin Mu retreating high up into the sky.

”None of us can tell what it is just from looking, but weʼre analyzing it, overseer.” The formation masters quickly replied.

Being the ones in charge of controlling and moderating the arrays of the Spatial plane, they needed to be careful about what techniques the contestants were using. Some techniques could very well damage the array after all.

While there hadnʼt been any in this tournament, they have had several experiences in the past which had taught them enough. They tried to plan for as many contingencies as they could, but there was always something unexpected that could happen.

As the elder and the others watched for updates on Yao Changying, Lin Mu was busy dodging her and trying to rise as far as he could in the sky.

ʼMore… I need to be higher!ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself, continuing to fly upwards.

The move that he had planned needed a lot of distance and height to work. The True Earth Dao heart Dao Embryoʼs great shield was able to block Yao Changyingʼs attacks, but they were only getting worse with each passing second.

”That illusory festering worm… itʼs actually corroding the Shield.” Lin Mu felt an ache coming from his Dao Embryo, making him look down.

The shield was wrapped by the illusory worm, which seemed to be spreading slate grey energy from its body. This caused the rocks covering the shield to turn to dust and fall off.

It was astounding, as they werenʼt just any rocks, but oneʼs condensed from Earth Dao and were highly compressed. Even an inch of rock was compressed from a boulder sized rock. This increased the density of the shield and made it tougher.

And yet, it was being eroded away like it was chalk.

”I donʼt have much time… Thisʼll have to work!” Lin Mu gritted his teeth. ”Return!” he dismissed the Great shield, making it fade away.

~KUAAAA~

That caused the illusory festering worm that was wrapped around the shield to lose a target. It then rushed towards Lin Mu, sensing him as a foe. But that wasnʼt all, as Yao Changying had readied for more attacks.

”Seems like youʼre finally hitting your limit, Humph!” She scowled before gathering three more clouds of the slate grey aura and thrusting them with her sword.

~KUAAAA~KUAAAA~KUAAAA~

Three more illusory festering worms were created from them and rushed towards Lin Mu. The manʼs troubles had just multiplied four fold, and he had little to defend with.

Lin Mu noticed this, but couldnʼt care less. He was already prepared to get injured from this.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Mu released as much of his Qi and immortal essence as he could.

”AHHHHHHHH!” The immortal essence strengthened his body with the Tyrannical Aura as Lin Mu began his descent!
