1855 Mocked

Lin Mu destroying the robes of the Third Prince was an astonishing thing not just for the prince but also the audience that was watching it.

Among them there were nobles who knew the value of the robes and knew that they couldn't just be made easily either. They needed a while to make as well as precious materials to do so. While the prince might have replacements for them, it wouldn't be cheap.

Seeing the infuriated Third Prince Lin Mu couldn't help but retort.

"Don't worry, I get my robes destroyed all the time too. It's why I keep a few hundred spares." Lin Mu replied with a chuckle.

His words were like adding salt to the Third Prince's injuries turning him utterly furious.

"YOU DARE MOCK ME?" Feng Baxing was not ready to take that casually. "AHH!" the man blew his fuse and anger filled his head.

~SHUA~

In the next seconds, strong waves of Immortal qi flowed of his body while his now broken robes fluttered. Azure winds surrounded him and started to push on everything that was nearby.

This included Lin Mu too, but he was easily able to keep his position by simply altering the weight of his body. It was as if he was a thousand year old mountain and the winds were just harmless gusts.

Lin Mu's expression became serious but he had not lost his cool. In fact, he became even calmer as the sutra echoed within his mind.

His thoughts flowed smoothly and he could think a lot faster than before. And since his mind was not clouded with anger like the Third Prince was, he was able to plan better.

All he had done so far was according to his plan and the strategy was working decently.

'If I am to have a decisive victory, I need to force the Third Prince to use up his Immortal qi.' Lin Mu knew that his greatest advantage was in his tenacity as well as his endurance.

The longer he pulled the fight, the better his chances of winning became. But there was always a chance that the Third Prince could use an attack that could defeat him in a swift blow.

As such, Lin Mu needed to be aware of every move that his opponent made and put up a great defense.

~shing~

Lin Mu decided to initiate the fight and swung Afternoon Pine, sending forth a yellow sword slash that gave birth to multiple pine trees condensed from Metal Elemental immortal qi.

They were also filled with Sword Intent, which would further threaten the Third Prince.

~CLANG~

"This won't work anymore!" The Third Prince retaliated a fan appeared in his hand.

~UPROAR~

"There it is!"

"He took it out!"

"Daoist Mu Lin is done for now!"

The people in the audience shouted out loud as the Shearing Hurricane Fan was finally used by the Third Prince.

~WHOOSH~

Feng Baxing had swung the fan and sent forth a sharp gale that could match against the Sword Slash.

~PLINK~PLINK~PLINK~

The sharp winds were strong enough to break off the branches and twigs of the metal pine trees, making it seem like someone was snapping metal rods.

"Today I'll show you the true might of the Imperial family. Do you think just any random cultivator can match up against us? You are simply dreaming if you think your mediocre skills can be equal!" Feng Baxing shouted before turning the Shearing Hurricane Fan.

"Six Winds Monarch Technique: Burning Prairie Gale!" Feng Baxing made a hand seal with his left hand and used the fan with his right.

In the next moment, an intense heat filled the area, making Lin Mu a bit surprised. His immortal sense picked up on the change in the Shearing Hurricane Fan and sensed the Fire Elemental Immortal qi that was being added.

'He's using both Wind and Fire now.' Lin Mu didn't know what kind of effects this would have since he hadn't witnessed the use of the Six Winds Monarch Technique yet.

While he had learned about it before, the Third Prince never had the need to use it due to the fact that all his opponents were too weak to his basic skills.

He might have used it against Childe Wildfire, but the man's Dao Skill was a too dangerous for him to take it lightly. He had also realized that the Azure Wind Immortal robes that he wore could get destroys by the Scorching Sun Flames, as such he ended the battle as fast as he could by activating the Weapon Spirit of the Shearing Hurricane Fan.

This was also why Lin Mu was able to break the Azure Wind Robes as the man had taken him to not be as dangerous of an opponent. To him, while Lin Mu was a strong body cultivator it was still not enough to warrant him to use the Six Winds Monarch technique.

He reckoned, as long as he kept the distance between them there wouldn't be much of an issue.

Of course that assumption turned out to be very wrong.

'Considering he isn't summoning the Weapon Spirit of the fan right away, he still doesn't take me as a large enough risk.' Lin Mu understood this was still in his favor.

~WHOOSH~

~CRACKLE~

Lin Mu couldn't stand still and think for long though, as a fiery wind blew toward him scorching all the things that were in its path.

The area in front of the Third Prince started to burn and turned black from the fire that was being carried by the wind. 

The attack was a great example of the complimentary effects of the two elements. Fire burned and the wind fueled it further while also improving its spread.

"This is definitely a lot stronger than before." Lin Mu muttered and took defensive measures.

~STOMP~

~WHOOSH~

He kicked the ground hard which created a great impact which spread around him while also launching him into the sky at the same time.
