BXBX NOVEL Chapter 626 - Futility And Surprises
For Tian Chu, the barrier was a death sentence. Even with Lin Wu there, she could only imagine the same fate as that of the Nascent soul realm beasts. In fact, she couldn\'t even sense Lin Wu\'s cultivation base in all the confusion.
Though even if she tried, she wouldn\'t be able to estimate it accurately. Tian Han was only able to do so because of the special spirit tool he had, which was specialized for that task.
Lin Wu and the system could hide the spirit Qi fluctuation well enough that even a Dao Treading realm expert will have a hard time detecting them. In fact, if it were not for the Aural Exposure hoop spirit tool that Tian Han used, Lin Wu would have thought that his secrecy was assured.
He was a bit thankful for Tian Han in that aspect, as he had potentially saved him from a great problem in the future.
Though for now, he could only laugh.
"Ahahha! Futile effort," Lin Wu said as he saw the barrier shrinking.
His eyes flickered, and he casually raised his tail before tapping on the barrier.
~DING~
A very crisp sound could be heard, as if a cymbal had been hit.
~crack~crack~
That sound was the start of a crescendo as cracks started to spread from the point of contact. Tian Han watched with his mouth wide open as the cracks covered the entire formation array.
Until finally…
~SHATTER~
The barrier broke apart, and the runes faded into nothingness as a powerful and complex formation array was reduced to dust.
Tian Han had no words for this and could only stare at the entire series of events.
"Now then… we can talk a bit more comfortably." Lin Wu continued.
Tian Han gritted his teeth and knew that the current situation had gone beyond his thinking.
"Dammit!" He cursed before throwing out a palm sized sword.
The sword quickly enlarged in size and shot towards Lin Wu. Its edge was sharp and the humming sound coming from it would give goosebumps. Even Lin Wu couldn\'t help but take it a bit more seriously.
"Now this is interesting…" Lin Wu muttered as he brought forth his tail.
"PROTECT ME!" Tian Han shouted as the sword attacked.
He himself though, turned tail and started to fly away.
~WEENG~
The large sword let out a cry and exuded strong spirit Qi fluctuations that surprised Lin Wu.
"Dao Shell realm power?" Lin Wu said as the sword attached him.
~DENG~
His tail blocked the attack with a sound clang as the edge of the sword grated against the crystal.
~CRACK~
As an even greater surprise to Lin Wu, the sword actually managed to put a crack in his tail\'s surface. Lin Wu\'s gaze turned a bit cold as the aura exuding from him turned violent.
~shua~
An invisible wave of energy spread from him and surrounded the sword, drowning it in it. The sword that seemed to be full of power collapsed lifelessly to the ground and impaled itself in the soil.
Lin Wu\'s eyes went to the escaping Tian Han and he harrumphed.
"I would be an imbecile of if I let you escape like this," Lin Wu said, finding it all to be insulting.
The Radiation in the air seethed and boiled before rushing toward Tian Han in the distance.
The unaware Tian Han took a look behind and saw that Lin Wu was still there and had not moved.
~Phew~
"Just need to a little far then I\'ll be able to escape!" Tian Han said as another talisman appeared in his hand.
~thud~
But just as he muttered that, he felt the spirit sword beneath his feet losing control.
"AHH!" Tian Han cried out in fear as he started to fall from the sky.
Even if he was at the Core condensation realm, if he fell from this height he was bound to break a bone or two. And something like that would just spell death for him when going against an enemy like Lin Wu.
~CRASH~
~KACHA~
And just as he had feared, Tian Han crashed to the ground, falling leg first. His right leg was the first to bear the brunt of the impact and snapped from the femur. Having absorbed most of the force, the rest of his body was able to bear the other injuries from falling.
His face and arms were covered in scratches as blood dripped from his leg. The sharp edge of a bone popped out of his thigh, looking gruesome. Tian Han cried for a few seconds, but then forcefully reeled his mind.
"Not like this!" He said and tried to stand using his hands.
Even if he had a broken leg, he wouldn\'t stop escaping. But when he tried to call the spirit sword, he found it not responding.
"Huh? What?" Tian Han was confused.
Thinking that it might just him being disturbed and unable to focus due to the pain, he decided to numb it using a pill. But when he tried to use his spatial storage tool, he was failed again.
"HOW!" He shouted in confusion and anger.
He then realized that it wasn\'t just the spirit tools that weren\'t working, but his spirit sense itself had stopped responding. It was forcefully shoved back into his head, making him wince in pain.
Tian Han felt as if a swamp was threatening to swallow him and was pushing him from all sides. His spirit sense as an effect was pushed as far back into his head as possible. He didn\'t even know how it was possible and felt that if he tried to resist, his spirit sense would just be torn instead.
Now broken and helpless, Tian Han could only watch as a foe beyond his imagination approached him.
"I have to admit, you\'ve brought me some surprises… surprises that I did not expect from someone at your level.." Lin Wu spoke as he came to stand in front of the fallen and despairing man.
