1804 Lin Mu Versus Yin Yuan



Upon reaching the Spatial Plane, Lin Mu's immortal sense immediately locked onto Yin Yuan's position.

~TWANG~

Lin Mu released the bowstring, letting the arrow fly.

The arrow made from a mix of Metal elemental Immortal Qi and normal immortal Qi was silvery grey in color. It flew at such a fast speed that the audience watching the scene only saw the sudden appearance of a silvery grey blur.

The elder who was monitoring it all, narrowed his eyes, feeling stunned.

'Just how fast is this kid?' he couldn't help but think.

But this was merely the start of it all. When the arrow had traveled half way across, it turned into hundreds of needles that showered onto Yin Yuan!

This was actually a Metal elemental technique that Lin Mu had obtained a long time ago back in Xiao Fan world. The Technique was called as Thousand Needle Rain. It wasn't even an Immortal Qi skill, but rather a Spirit Qi skill. 

But with how simple it was along with a few adjustments, Lin Mu easily adapted it for Immortal Qi. He hadn't used it with Immortal Qi before, as there was no use for Lin Mu to do so, having better options. But using it with Wonder Seeker gave it an amplification that took it to the next level.

Yin Yuan had barely felt the surroundings change, when she was pelted by hundreds of needles.

"AAAHH!" She let out a startled cry but was unable to put up a defense on her own.

~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~

But surprisingly the sound of something being struck repeatedly was heard. The shower of the metal needles made it hard for people to see it, but Lin Mu's immortal sense quickly realized what it was.

'She has a defensive Immortal tool…' Lin Mu noticed, furrowing his brows.

~huu~

"Looks like she was more prepared than others… Getting an Immortal tool to defend for her." Lin Mu muttered, pulling on the bowstring again.

He charged another arrow with just 5% of his Immortal Qi as it was the fastest way to do it. He watched the pelting needles continue to shower onto Yin Yuan, a barrier protecting her.

The barrier was made from an Immortal tool that was in the form of a Pendant and was hanging on Yin Yuan's neck. From the immortal Qi fluctuations that the Pendant was emitting, Lin Mu estimated it to be a high grade immortal tool.

Only something like that would be able to defend against a fast attack like his. Most others would need more time to react and defend against a barrage of attacks. After all, the singular arrow had turned into hundreds of needles.

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

The defensive pendant had its limitation too, and the clanging sounds soon turned into cracking sounds. The barrage of metal needles damaged the barrier beyond its limits and finally broke it!

~SHATTER~

The barrier turned into motes of light, before scattering into nothingness.

Yin Yuan looked at it with a stunned expression.

'It broke already? It should have lasted for the entire fight!' Yin Yuan was having a hard time coping.

Thankfully for her, the barrier of the Pendant could regenerate automatically and it wasn't a permanent thing. The bad news though was that it would take at least a day for it to regenerate.

This was certainly not enough for her to use in her fight against Lin Mu. And much to her displeasure, Lin Mu was fully intending to take advantage of it.

~TWANG~

Another arrow was short, this time looking like it was made out of glass. It was composed of normal Immortal Qi and had taken up 5% of Lin Mu's immortal Qi stores. 

"DAMMIT!" Yin Yuan cursed and threw out six pills.

Among the six pills, three were red and three were blue in color. One could see the symbols for 'fire' on the red pills and 'water' on the blue pills. 

"Hexapole Repulsion Pill Technique!" she chanted after throwing them.

The six pills floated in the air under her control and were arranged in an alternating pattern. Next, they released their energy, making them spin in a circle. The red pills pushed the blue, and vice a versa, causing them to spin in a circuit.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and the arrow was just a few meters away from them when it was completed. 

The clash of fire and water energies created an area of repulsion that prevented anything from getting past it easily.

~SHUNG~

The glassy arrow slowed down as it passed through the field of the Hexapole Repulsion Pill technique. It prevented Yin Yuan from getting hit, but the arrow was still coming towards her.

"How has it not stopped yet?" Yin Yuan couldn't understand. 

She could tell that the arrow was weaker than the previous attack, but it had still not dissipated from her technique.

'I don't have many pills for the Hexapole Repulsion Pill technique. And other methods won't work if all his attacks are this strong.' Yin Yuan thought, her expression tense. 

With her pendant barrier gone, and the Hexapole Repulsion Pill technique having been used as well, Yin Yuan was fast running out of options.

"At least I can still see him," Yin Yuan muttered as she made her next move.

She first moved out of the path of the arrow before throwing out two pills that were black in color.

~HISS~

The two pills rapidly sublimated in the air, turning into clouds of black gas that rapidly spread in the area.

In just five seconds, it had already covered the area that Lin Mu was in as well.

"Guess he can't react well after those strong attacks." Yin Yuan thought as a smirk appeared on her face.

~SHING~

But just as she thought that the sound of a sword being drawn was heard.

"What!?" Yin Yuan turned around, only to see a glint of light.

~HUALA~

Then in the next second, her vision was filled with a yellow pine tree that struck her body.
