Chapter 1747 Four Immortals Down

Daoist Rueshi and Daoist Jugu had never expected their luck would be this bad.

Not only had they been forcefully grounded, they had also triggered traps, causing them to get befuddled and then be ambushed. If that was not enough, the ones who had attacked them were two Third Tribulation stage immortals too.

Lu Xu had his spear stabbed into Daoist Rueshi"s back while Qian Wen swung his sword cutting into Daoist Jugu"s chest.

~SHUA~

Daoist Jugu turned into a flash of light, as his ident.i.ty token was destroyed from the attack.

"I should finish up too." Lu Xu said before raising his palm. "Flesh Rumble Palm!"

His palm looked to be normal, but a faint layer of white energy could be seen on it.

"Why you!!!" Before Daoist Rueshi could respond though he was struck by the palm in his abdomen.

~Cough~

He spat out a mouthful of blood, from the impact. Lu Xu"s palm skill was not simple and could cause vibrations to travel through one"s body, causing them more damage than they might expect. It was especially bad when one was not able to keep up one"s defenses.

Daoist Rueshi was also stuck in one place, due to a spear skewering him through his waist.

Lu Xu didn"t stop there either and slapped his palm on the man several times, trying to hit the ident.i.ty token.

~Crack~

It took seven tries before the token finally cracked.

"Huh... he hid it on his wrist?" Lu Xu was a bit surprised as it was a less protected area. "But the is a part that others wouldn"t target early on." He reckoned.

~SHUA~

"NOOO!!" Daoist Rueshi turned into a flash of light before being teleported out of the Spatial Plane.

~clunk~

Lu Xu"s spear was freed in the process and hit the ground underneath it with a sound.

"We"re done here, Brother Mu Lin." Qian Wen informed seeing that Lu Xu had defeated his opponent.

"Good. More should be coming soon." Lin Mu replied while observing everything.

His attention was still split, but he had an easier time since he didn"t need to work on the formations now. He only needed to split his immortal sense into two, one part focusing on his companions while the other was focused on the incoming cultivators.

He didn"t need to worry about the formations either, as they were working perfectly.

"If anything happens, I"ll sense it quickly anyways." Lin Mu wasn"t worried about that either.

With the plan running, Lin Mu got ready for the action.

"Rotate according to the direction that the intruders come from." Lin Mu spoke to his companions.

"Yes!" Ming Aolian replied while Ming Dandan continued to work with the Mulch Crawl eater beast.

The swampy ground ring they had made was narrow at the start, and they were now making it wider.

The wider it was, the better their chances of catching stray immortals in it.

Daoist Rueshi and Jugu were unlucky enough to be wiped out before that, but there was no guarantee the same would happen to the others. There was bound to be a time when others would catch onto the traps. But for now, Lin Mu would take full advantage.

Four minutes pa.s.sed, as a couple more cultivators built up the courage to come closer.

"Come on, come on... the bait is fresh." Lin Mu knew they wouldn"t be able to resist for long.

~SHUA~

And sure enough, the next minute two more cultivators entered the ring. These were a bit weaker than before though being at the Third Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm.

~THUD~ THUD~

And just like before, they were caught off guard and plummeted from the sky.

"Lu Xu, Qian Wen!" Lin Mu transmitted the location of the intruders to the two.

"Already there!" but the two had seen the sight of the intruders and were already there.

~SLICK~

"Haha! I got one!" Lu Xu laughed as the unlucky one out of the two third tribulation Stage immortals fell onto his spear.

"AAARGHHHH!" the man screamed in pain, not being able to register what had just happened.

"Off you go!" Lu Xu thrust his palm.

~SLAP~

~SHUA~

The Third tribulation Stage immortal was knocked out immediately, causing the token to teleport him away.

"W-who are you?" The other third tribulation Stage immortal that was left was stunned.

He had just managed to raise his head from the ground when he saw his companion being defeated.

~SHING~

But his words were only met by a sword slash.

"SSSS!~" the man hissed in pain, as the sword slash, cut his thigh.

"He managed to dodge it," Qian Wen muttered as he saw his target move.

"s.h.i.t I need to get away!" the Third Tribulation Stage immortal realized.

He tried to fly, but couldn"t thus he simply ran. But with the cut on his thigh, it was a difficult task, and every step was painful.

~shua~

But Lu Xu was not one to let a target get away that quickly.

"Not so fast." Lu Xu thrust his spear, striking the immortal square in the chest.

~CLANG~

But just before the spear could pierce his chest, the immortal used a Qi skill.

"UGH!" The Qi skill created a small shield on his chest that managed to block the attack.

~WHOOSH~

Still, the impact of the attack was enough for the man to be knocked away. Unable to control his momentum, the man fell to the ground again.

~SPLAT~

But when he landed, it wasn"t on solid ground.

"Mud?" the man was in pain and confused. "No swamp!" he quickly realized that it was worse than he had thought.

Having fallen from some height, his impact had allowed him to sink quickly. His body was already halfway into the swamp when he managed to prop up his head. If he had fallen head first, he might have choked on the mud, perhaps.

"This one actually managed to reach the swamp ring." Lin Mu noticed from the center of the ring.
