Chapter 613 - Three Against Ten

The warning of the elder was soon confirmed a few seconds later.

~shua~

The smoke created by the explosion cleared up and everyone could finally see the scene. Little Shrubby"s claws were pierced through the chest of the elder as his blood boiled over. The bubbling blood spilled from his seven apertures as Little Shrubby boiled him from the inside.

~Woo~

The sound of boiling water came from the elder as more and more blood spilled out from his seven apertures. The elder could not speak anything at all and felt like his entire body had become just one big pot of boiling blood.

The pain was simply underwhelming his sense and made him unable to act.

~Boom~

The body of the elder could no longer hold the pressure in and finally exploded. The boiling blood made steam, which was being suppressed by the body of the elder. When it reached the peak, the elder creased to exist.

But then…

~Whoosh~

"You"ll never catch me!" The Nascent Soul of the elder flew out from the b.l.o.o.d.y mess and went towards the other elders for protection.

~ROAR~

Little Shrubby roared once again, stunning the people around. Even the Nascent Soul was frozen for a second, but that was all that was needed for Little Shrubby to reach it. His mouth opened wide and bit the entire Nascent Soul whole.

"NOOO!!!!!!" The Nascent Soul screamed but could not escape.

Little Shrubby"s mouth closed and the Nascent Soul was crushed to death, dissipating into spirit Qi.

"This tastes GOOD!" Little Shrubby suddenly said.

His words were only understood by Lin Mu though, while Jing Luo could sense the emotions in it a little bit. But to the other elders, all they could hear was another loud roar and the terrifying scene of a beast eating their fellow elder"s Nascent Soul.

Some of the elders were scared, but most of them were also angry.

"YOU WRETCHED BEAST! YOU SHALL NEVER LIVE A DAY WITHOUT PAIN AGAIN!" The elders yelled in rage.

~GRRR~

Little Shrubby simply growled at them, as if inviting them for a challenge. But the look that he had in his eyes was quite different from before. The elders felt like they were being gazed at by a predator and the desire in Little Shrubby"s eyes was also quite visible.

To little Shrubby, they were now reduced to treats that Little Shrubby could eat as he pleased. Lin Mu saw the ease with which Little Shrubby killed the elder and nodded his head.

"His strength has undergone a qualitative increase." Lin Mu muttered as he looked in the front at his target.

"I"ll kill you beast!" The elder in the center shouted and went towards Little Shrubby, ignoring Lin Mu that was in front of him.

~shing~

"And where do you think you are going?" Lin Mu said as the short sword flew towards the elder.

The short sword was aimed directly towards the man"s heart and if he had not blocked, it would have directly pierced into it.

"YOU!!!" The elder shouted upon blocking the short sword with a Qi skill.

~shua~

But Lin Mu gave him no chance to speak as he suddenly appeared at his side. His body spun like a top as the slim swords slashed at the elder"s back.

~Deng~deng~deng~

The outer robes of the elder were directly torn apart and the inner armor hidden beneath was revealed. This was the armor that had managed to save the life of the elder. The elder was more than just shocked, as he had not seen Lin Mu approach him.

One moment he was in the front and in the next moment he was at his side.

"How? If I did not have the armor, I would have already died. These men… who are they?" The elder couldn"t help but think.

"Elder Ko, we are coming!" The other two Adult Soul Stage Nascent Soul realm elders said as they flew to support him.

While Lin Mu was fighting here, Jing Luo was overwhelming his opponents. His first volley of spears had already made the four Adolescent Soul Stage Nascent Soul realm elders wary, but his attacks were just the beginning.

~shua~~shua~shua~

The spears flew back to his back and three more were shot out instead.

"HAAA!" Jing Luo didn"t stand back either, and he jumped into the fray himself.

The Axe in his right hand slashed out an arc of Qi that moved like a scythe through weeds.

~slick~

"AHH!" One of the four elders was slower than the others and managed to get his arm chopped off in one clean cut.

The three spears that had shot were blocked, but this had slowed down the elders once again.

"HAHAHA! You are far too weak for me!" Jing Luo taunted as he shoved the dagger into the chest of the elder whose hand he had just cut off.

And just like that, the second elder from the ten elders was killed. His Nascent Soul didn"t even get a chance to escape as the dagger glowed with a Grey light, decimating the Nascent Soul right within the elder"s body.

~shing~

Jing Luo withdrew the dagger from the chest of the dead Adolescent Soul stage elder and looked at the rest.

"Who wants to be next?" He asked with a chuckle.

"You fiend! How dare you kill our elder!" Two of the elders flew towards Jing Luo, enraged by his actions.

The third elder was slowed down due to his arm and leg being injured. He was the first elder who was injured due to the spears that Jing Luo had thrown at the start.

~clang~clang~clang~

Blow after blow was exchanged as Jing Luo battled like a beast. Each of his attacks was decisive and if the elders lost focus even for a second, they would meet their end.

~ROAR~

On the end of Little Shrubby, the elders were having a hard time catching up to him. Little Shrubby was just leading them around the area and would then sneak in a few strikes every now and then.
