Chapter 2370 Crushing A Maggot
Lin Mu's discovery was somewhat expected by the others.
~Sigh~
"So they really did find out about us coming." Crown Prince Feng Shun let out a sigh. "Still, this is better than nothing." He said, turning his look at the camp.
"Shall we get rid of the Yin Nascent Soul maggot now?" Ziran asked, knowing that it was not a being that they could continue to let existing.
"Of course." Crown Princess Shang stated. "This time we won't even give it a time to react!" she said, immortal Qi flowing out of her palms.
"Indeed." Lady Kang agreed as faint lights glowed on her body.
Lin Mu looked at everyone's eagerness and smiled slightly.
"Just as we've done always then." Lin Mu said as he flew to the sky.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
The others did the same and split up to surround the camp.
~HONGLONG~
The very air trembled as everyone prepared their skills, intending to destroy the maggot as soon as it left the ground.
"Amithabha!" Monk Hushu brought his palms together as he started to chant. His body glowed in a yellow light, before the aura of Buddhist energy spread from him. "Golden Vajra Illumination!" Monk Hushu chanted as the Dao Embryo rose from behind him. The Dao Embryo released its power as four statues were created by it around the area. The four statues stood in the four cardinal directions and had their right palms extended forward.
"Four Arhat Sacred Guard!" Monk Hushu finally said as the Dao Skill was completed.
The light from the four golden statues' palm joined up, forming a curtain around the entire camp. ~SHA~ SHA~SHA~SHA~
The next to act was Crown Princess Shang who threw out hundreds of seeds on the camp. These seeds quickly drilled into the ground, a ring of brambles surrounding the camp growing.
Ziran acted third, and assisted the Crown Princess, creating two large vines that grew from his hands and joined up with the brambles.
~WON~WON~WON~
The vines seemingly pumped more energy into the brambles, causing them to grow taller and thicker!
Min Ju took out a small pomander and swung it in the air, causing droplets of water to spear out into the entire camp.
"Pure Mist Of Cleansing Tunes: First Tune - Drizzle." Min Ju set up a rather strong skill too.
This was the first time Lin Mu was seeing her use this and he could tell that the Pomander she was using was no normal tool.
'A high grade immortal tool of the water element.' Lin Mu could sense the rich water's elemental energy fluctuations coming from it.
Just as Lin Mu thought of that, Elder Hu acted too, his fists suddenly burning up as his gauntlets turned red hot. It made Lin Mu think as if the elder was the Longgui Bulwark Armor technique too.
'No, it's different…' but he could tell it was a lot different than that.
"Cinder Fall Five Fists: Fifth Fist - Ash Fall!" Elder Hu did a circle around the camp while punching the air countless times. He left behind hundreds of fist imprints that were floated in air, as if frozen in time. The fist imprints were different than his red hot glowing hands though, having a dull ashy color.
Lin Mu didn't know what kind of a skill it was, but it was most certainly not as simple as it looked.
'Considering the fact that the Elder is holding it back and delaying its full activation, his control over it is very high.' Lin Mu analyzed.
The others were observed it took but soon started to act on their own parts.
~SHA~ SHA~SHA~SHA~
Daoist Chu sent out four flags, eight stones, sixteen talisman papers and thirty two hand seals as a formation took place.
The Four Flags planted themselves inside the camp, while the eight stones were buried in seemingly random places. The sixteen talisman papers floated in the air, as runes poured out from them, forming chains that linked up with the flags below.
Finally, the thirty two hand seals were the controlling gestures that did all this.
"Quadridirectional Rhombus Prison Formation Array!" Daoist Chu set up a relatively complex array with ease.
This was only possible with his skillful use of the components that allowed him to create something like this fast.
Qiao De acted after this as he simply took out twenty javelins and threw them into the sky. The javelins hung in the air, ready to fall at a moment's notice.
Then there was Lady Kang who used her unique skill.
"Divine Mystic Constellation Art!" She uttered as stellar energy was released from her body.
"88 Constellation Series: Twenty First Form- Auriga!" Lady Kang chanted as twenty one stars rose above her head and took the form of a man holding a goat. The figure of the man moved while the goat bleated in the sky.
Under the man's gesture, the goat seemingly split part into multiple segments, with each limb transforming into a robust horse. The horns of the goat transformed into an imposing chariot while the fur and skin transformed into reins attached to the horses. The man then jumped onto the chariot and took hold, as the horses stomped in the air, ready for a command.
One word was all it would take for it to charge forth. But Lady Kang held back, knowing that this was not yet the time.
Lin Mu watched everyone prepare as he too charged up the Mountain collapsing fist.
"We're ready!" they said in unison.
"Very well." Lin Mu said as a strong wave of energy pulsed from him. "Mountain Collapsing Fist: Third Form- Earthen Devastator!" he punched straight down at the ground.
~HUALA~
A brown ribbon of energy was shot that dripped rapidly into the ground, causing it to start crumbling right away.
~RUMBLE~
The ground couldn't take it as a crater was soon formed, revealing the form of the giant maggot within.
~SCREECH~
The maggot screamed in anger as it tried to fly up, but before it could even move a meter, a flurry of attacks struck.
