1752 Wildfire Approaches
While the audience marveled at Lin Mu and his companions, they were now close to wiping out all the immortals.
~BOOM~
Another barrage of arrows rained down from the sky, blasting the ground and injuring the last three immortals that were still left. All three of them were at the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm and were already injured.
The explosion from the arrows had further weakened them, allowing Lu Xu and Qian Wen to wipe them out with ease.
"You will all face defeat at the hands of Childe—" Before the last immortal could finish his words though, Lu Xu struck him with his spear turning him into a flash of light.
"As if we didn't hear that already…" Lu Xu shook his head.
They already knew that Childe Wildfire was the one behind this wave of immortals that had come towards them. The immortals had tried to threaten them using the name of the top ranker, but it was unless, as they didn't have fear of the man.
With Lin Mu by their side, they were ready to face anything.
For now though, a moment of peace was obtained.
"Is that all of them?" Ming Aolian asked, not seeing any more cultivators.
"It should be." Qian Wen replied. "Are there more coming from the outside, Brother Mu Lin?" he asked.
"No… seems like we are done with them." Lin Mu replied, his immortal sense trying to search for other cultivators.
"What about Childe Wildfire?" Ming Dandan inquired.
"I can still feel the immortal Qi fluctuations coming from him. Though they are of the same level." Lin Mu replied.
"He might still be watching us." Lu Xu said furrowing his brows.
"Perhaps he's expecting that the formations would be broken if all the immortals charged in and defeated whoever had set it up." Qian Wen guessed.
"How long do you think it'll take for him to realize he's wrong?" Ming Aolian wondered.
"Whatever it might be, you all should take this time to recover as much as you can." Lin Mu said knowing that the situation could change at any moment.
Unlike him, Lu Xu, Qian Wen and the Ming Sisters didn't have high stores of Immortal Qi. Lu Xu and Qian Wen were the ones who had fought directly and thus had used the most immortal Qi.
Ming Aolian and Ming Dandan might not have expended much of their own Immortal Qi, but their tamed beasts certainly had. The Mulch Crawl Eater beast was exhausted and had used up nearly 80% of its immortal Qi in order to use its skill to turn the ground into a swamp.
It had converted a large area of land into a swamp and had maintained it all this time too, which had led to a greater drain.
Even the Sky Soar Wolf had used up nearly half of its Immortal Qi in the battle. Ting was flying at her maximum speed, which did use up more immortal Qi after all. And since the Ming sisters couldn't fight themselves, it basically meant that their condition may as well be the condition of their tamed beasts.
"We'll try to recover." Lu Xu said as he took out Immortal stones.
Qian Wen did the same, while the Ming Sisters gave their immortal stones to their beasts.
They would try their best to recover their immortal Qi, while Lin Mu continued to keep a watch. He was the one in the best condition as he had barely used five percent of his immortal Qi even with the constant barrage of attacks.
Wonder Seeker was a great help in it, as the bow could reduce his consumption of Immortal Qi by supplementing it with its own. This was the advantage of having a High Grade Immortal weapon, as it could think for itself and adequately support its owner.
Not only were Lin Mu's attacks amplified, his consumption of Immortal Qi was also lowered, raising the overall efficiency of his attacks.
Lin Mu watched the skies with his Spatial Perception active, trying to see how the condition of the other Spatial plane was.
'Still intact… there doesn't seem to be any sign of it closing right now.' Lin Mu thought after observing it.
If the Spatial Plane closed up, it would mean that Lin Mu would be free to pursue the remaining immortals in the Spatial Plane. But since it was still existing, it meant he needed to wait longer.
Minute after minute passed, as Lin Mu kept a sharp eye on everything. His companions were trying to recover, but their speed of recovery wasn't as fast as Lin Mu.
~HONG~
But just ten minutes later, Lin Mu felt a wave of energy coming from afar. It prompted him to open his eyes and become alert.
"Looks like he can't hold back anymore…" Lin Mu muttered as he gazed in the distance.
Over ten kilometers away, a black robed man was walking in a field of fire. With every step that he took, the fire continued to spread and a field of flames was created.
For some reason, the fire didn't extinguish even after he had walked past an area and continued to burn. The flames looked to be of the same color as normal flames. But the heat coming from them was far greater than that.
It was like the concentrated heat from a forge that scorched one's skin with just a single exposure.
The man had an expressionless face and seemed to be walking without a care in the world. Though the aura that was emanating from him said otherwise. It was like that of a volcano that seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
Every step of his seemed to cause a faint rumbling, while the temperature of the area continued to rise. At first, the steps seemed to be slow, but after a minute or so, it was as if they had turned into a blur.
A kilometer of area was passed in a minute, the man gliding over the land as if it were snow.
