1740 Explosive Collision
The collision of the two great forces exuded a great pressure on every side.
Strong energy fluctuations spread everywhere, along with the heat from the comet like arrow. Still, the giant slash was actually able to hold the arrow back, preventing it from progressing anymore. The collision only lasted for a second, yet that one second looked very slow.
~BOOM~
The explosion knocked up large dust clouds, that covered everything along with smoke that clouded everyone's vision. And with the intense immortal Qi waves mixed in all this, people couldn't even use their Immortal sense to observe everything.
If they did try that, their Immortal sense would simply be pushed back. Only those that had highly refined their Immortal sense or those with a high cultivation base would be able to withstand it. But even then, it would take them some time to observe everything.
This created the perfect opportunity for Lin Mu to act.
'Let's get Ting back,' Lin Mu directly used Blink and got close to Ting.
Next he placed her into his ring before quickly retreating. The entire set of events didn't take more than a couple of seconds, which were already enough for Lin Mu to be in safety.
~WHOOSH~
And five seconds later, the fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal man Swung his sword again, dispelling the clouds of dust and smoke.
"What?" but when he saw the area in front of him, he was surprised.
'The wolf disappeared?' Even the Third tribulation stage Immortal woman was surprised. "I didn't sense anything… no one approached." She muttered in confusion.
And while they were trying to figure this out, Lin Mu had already retreated a kilometer away and regrouped with Ming Dandan and Ming Aolian.
"Brother Mu Lin!" Ming Aolian called out in an anxious tone.
"I've brought Ting." Lin Mu quickly said to assuage her concern.
~thud~
The frozen figure out Ting was placed on the ground.
Originally Lin Mu had hoped to melt her out using the arrow, but the attack of the Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal man changed that idea. He knew it was not a viable option as the attack would be blocked. But it still gave him another opportunity to rescue Ting.
The mix of immortal Qi and vision blocking from the explosion was enough for Lin Mu to use his ring's skill. Even the audience would be unable to see anything when such a thing was happening. Not to mention, his speed of teleportation was very fast and even if someone found it suspicious, there were many excuses that could be given.
"Is Ting fine?' Ming Dandan asked with worry.
"She's fine." Ming Aolian said after checking her connection with Ting.
While the beast was frozen solid, she was simply trapped. An immortal beast was not that easy to freeze just like that. Their vitality could keep them alive like this for months even when frozen. Not to mention, the silk that the Third Tribulation Stage Immortal woman had used wasn't strong enough to kill her outright.
It was merely a restrictive skill.
"Let me get her out." Lin Mu placed his hand on the ice before a scorching fire ignited on his hand.
It quickly started melting the ice while cracks spread across it.
~SHATTER~
And a couple of seconds later, the ice shattered, Ting freeing herself from the inside.
~HOWL~
The Sky Soar Wolf let out a howl of fury, feeling incredibly angry at being trapped like that.
Lin Mu could somewhat understand the beast's anguish and emotions.
"You wanna go at them again?" Lin Mu asked.
~GROWL~
Ting replied with a nod, understanding Lin Mu's words.
"Are you sure Ting?" Ming Aolian asked.
~BARK~
"It'll be fine. She's not injured. We were just caught off guard." Lin Mu replied. "But now we know what kind of people we are facing." He added.
"They are certainly strong. Was that a High Grade Immortal Sword?" Ming Dandan seemed to have sensed it by now.
"Yeah… even the shield is on the edge of turning into a High Grade Immortal Shield." Lin Mu confirmed. "To have that they are certainly not from a simple background."
"Hmm… that crest on their robes seems familiar but I can't tell who they are… though I'm sure they are from the Dao Wind Empire." Ming Aolian replied.
"Are you guys okay?" Lu Xu asked at that this time.
They had been watching from over two kilometer away and hadn't gotten an update.
"Yeah, we're safe. But the opponent is stronger than I thought." Lin Mu replied.
"Do you need our help?" Qian Wen asked.
"No it'll be fine. You two should focus on the others that might be approaching. The earlier explosion will have attracted the attention of plenty." Lin Mu replied.
"That's true." Lu Xu replied.
"Though… do you know what power do those two immortals come from?" Lin Mu said before describing their crest.
"I've seen that crest in the list of Dao Wind Empire's powers." Qian Wen was the one to speak this time. "If I'm not wrong they should be from the Serene Glass Valley in the South of the empire." He revealed.
"Serene Glass Valley?" Ming Aolian seemed to have remembered something. "Oh wait! I know them. Aren't they the one who've made one of the Peak Grade Immortals Weapons of the Dao Wind Empire!?" She stated.
"Yes… They received a lot of recognition for it in the past. Though these days they have fallen a bit." Qian Wen replied.
Hearing this, Lin Mu was surprised.
"So the are a clan that is involved in the forging of Immortal Weapons?" Lin Mu asked.
"Not really. They aren't a clan either, but rather a collective power of several clans. They just so happened to have a Weapon forger that managed to make a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon which he then gifted to the Emperor." Qian Wen quickly explained.
"I see… Guess it makes sense why they have such strong weapons. Even their Talismanic formations seem to be rather good." Lin Mu replied.
