Chapter 2181 Great Slaughter Pine & Great Ocean Rake!

The slaughter caused by the great pine tree was truly astonishing.

The smell of the foul blood spilled wide, irritating the noses of all those that smelled it. As for the eerie beasts whom the blood belonged to, they were only terrified further.

Lin Mu couldn't help but be impressed by the new skill that Afternoon Pine had created. It was certainly more powerful than the original skill and its range was also greater.

Of course the consumption of Immortal Qi was also higher than normal, but Lin Mu did not mind it much.

'It is still fine for my Qi stores… I can use it several times more if needed.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Afternoon Pine might even be capable of executing the skill by itself at least three times.' He reckoned.

While normally a cultivator provided their Immortal Swords with their Qi, the swords themselves also had their own stores of Qi. They usually used this when they were being used with a cultivators Immortal sense.

Some of the Immortal swords whose spirits had developed more could also battle on their own. They were even capable on absorbing more Qi from the air to restore themselves.

As such, the swords could be fighting autonomously for as long as needed if the consumption of Immortal Qi was lower than the absorption.

"I shall name this skill… Great Slaughter Pine." Lin Mu decided making Afternoon Pine hum in agreement

While Lin Mu appreciated the work of the sword, the eerie beasts had a change of heart.

Their aggravation was seemingly gone and now they tried to run away instead!

It was clear that the aura of slaughter emanating from Lin Mu and the sword intent pouring from the sword was too much for them to bear any longer.

"Bihiiiiiiiiii!" The beasts cried before running in the direction opposite to Lin Mu.

"They're running away?" Lin Mu's companions were surprised.

They had been fighting against the eerie beasts in their own sections, but hadn't expected such a reversal in the span of a couple minutes.

Of courses they too had witnessed the power that Lin Mu and his weapons had shown. The pure aura of slaughter coming from Lin Mu was also heard to miss and left them all quite unsettled.

"Amitabha… For such a slaughter aura to come from Daoist Mu Lin… It almost makes his affinity to the Buddhist path seem strange." Monk Hushu couldn't help but mutter.

Crown Prince Feng Shun and Daoist Chu felt similarly as they gazed over. The beasts had already retreated from around them, giving free hand to look around.

Same happened with Lady Kang and her two attendants, while Ziran and Qiao De finished up the stragglers that were near them.

"What is Daoist Mu Lin doing?" Qiao De uttered in a mix of confusion and concern.

No one had the answer for it right now, and could only watch as Lin Mu continued his slaughter.

~HUM~

Ocean Raker trembled in unease as it too wished to kill more. Only Afternoon Pine had gotten its turn and the longsword wished to prove itself to Lin Mu took.

"Of course, I won't leave you hanging." Lin Mu spoke to the sword, making it glimmer with excitement.

~WHOOSH~

Lin Mu stomped the ground and soared into the air with the two swords. He quickly caught up with the runaway group of beasts and made them trembled under his presence.

~SHING~

Lin Mu then raised Ocean Raker high as a blue light spread from it. The light soon radiated in an area of a kilometer and flooded everything. It was like an ocean had just been created with the eerie beasts trapped in it. The aura churned and waves flowed, just like a normal ocean would act.

A few slivers of blue aura was carried over by the waves reaching where Lady Kang and the others were standing.

"This aura… it can almost cut through our immortal senses." Daoist Chu spoke upon feeling it.

They could find their immortal senses feeling a hint of pain as the aura rolled over it. While it was not enough to harm their bodies themselves, the fact that it could affect their immortal sense showed the danger.

'And this is when the aura isn't targeting us… this is just a passive effect with the sword.' Lady Kang thought to herself, furrowing her brows. The blue aura seemed like a mix of sword intent and Ocean Raker's own aura. And it was merely a prelude to what was about to come. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

~HONGLONG~

The blue aura clumped around Ocean Raker and quickly rose up into the sky in the form of a pillar. ~RUMBLE~

The pillar soon changed shape and became a bit more flatter.

~HUA~HUA~SHUA~

Next, the pillar started to divide. First it split into three, and then the three became five!

It looked quite menacing and if one looked from afar they might find it to look like a giant claw.

Lin Mu could barley be seen holding up the giant claw that dwarfed him by hundreds of times.

"DIE!" Lin Mu yelled as he swung down the claw.

~WOOOOOOBOOOOM~

The claw ripped through the air before tearing through the swarms of beasts. Blood, flesh and bones were mixed into the soil, leaving only an imagination of what beasts stood there mere moments ago.

The claws power was massive and dug into the earth for at least two hundred meters. But this was not, as the crashing of the claw had resulted in the blue aura ocean to toil.

It churned like a storm had appeared and its power was greatly amplified. The beasts that had somehow managed to escape the reach of the claws were churned by these waves and were soon turned into fine paste that was 'washed' away by the blue aura.

If one observed the scene from the sky they would think that a giant dragon's claw had raked the ocean!

Seeing this, Lin Mu couldn't help but smirk.

"This shall be… Great Ocean Rake!" He declared.
