Chapter 2294  Targeting Weakness

Lin Mu spun around, as tens of sword slashes flew out of his two swords.

~SHING~SHING~SHING~SHING~

Multiple Chimeric Beasts were cut down by it but some of the beasts actually managed to dodge it too. Not to mention there were some that were actually strong enough to either block it entirely, or just regenerate the cut that had been made.

The others also attacked, but they quickly discovered that the Chimeric beasts were indeed stronger than usual.

"They"re stronger than the normal Chimeric Beasts after berserk." Elder Hu, sensing that something was wrong. "It might be the sap. The Chimera Plant is empowering them!" Ziran guessed.

 "We"ll have to be quick. We can"t let them grow too strong." Lin Mu stated before slashing out with both swords skills. "Great Slaughter Pine! Great Ocean Rake!" The sword slash from Afternoon Pine entered the ground before sprouting and turning into a giant yellow metal pine tree, that rained down thousands of sword slashes from its numerous leaves. The Sword Slash from Ocean Raker on the other hand, turned into waves of blue energy that racked the Chimeric Beasts before a giant claw struck them down.

Going all out from the start, Lin Mu killed hundreds of Third Tribulation Stage Chimeric Beasts in one go and a couple of the Fourth Tribulation Stage realm beasts too.

But this was only on one side, as the other Fruiting Bodies were making more Chimeric Beasts too. "Wait! How are they being born so fast!?" Daoist Chu asked, feeling surprised. "Look! It"s absorbing the Death Qi at an even faster rate!" Crown Princess Shang pointed at the sky.

There a large dark cloud of Death Qi had formed and it was raining down a constant stream of Death Qi onto the leaves, which was instantly absorbed.

"Target the leaves!" Crown Prince Feng Shun said as he grabbed the bare air. Winds spun around his hands and turned into an azure halberd that emanated rich power.

"Storm King Immortal Arts: Cloud Parting Gale!" Crown Prince Feng Shun swung the halberd down.

~GONGLONG~

A ma.s.sive wind blade that was at least three hundred meters tall was released from it that targeted the leaves.

~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~

At first it seemed like the leaves would all be cut apart, but they actually blocked the wind blade with ease. It was as if the blade was striking a metal wall and no damage was being done.

"Dammit." Crown Prince Feng Shun cursed seeing his attack fail. "Its leaves are as strong as the roots!" "Can you disperse the Death Qi cloud?" Lin Mu suggested.

"I can try," Crown Prince Feng Shun said as he raised both his arms above him.

~HUALA~

The full extent of his cultivation base was released, as the aura of a Sixth Tribulation Stage Immortal realm cultivator spread.

~BZZZT~

~WOONG~

Lighting crawled on his skin while wind roared around him. The Crown Prince"s entire body glowed in a mix of purple and azure colors from the elemental immortal Qis as he prepared his skill.

"Storm King Immortal Arts: Banishing Ray!" Crown Prince Feng Shun chanted as the mixture of Wind and Lightning elemental Qis rose from his hands like pillars. The pillar had both the colors, but contained an overwhelming power that threated to erase everything in its path.

~RUMBLE~

The thunder and wind roared as it rose into the cloud of Death Qi.

~BOOM~

And just a moment later, a ring of energy pulsed from the pillar, burning and blowing everything that was in its path. This included the Death Qi clouds, as they were forcefully burned by the Lightning elemental immortal Qi and the wind dispersed it further.

Since Lightning element was still of the extreme Yang orientation, it was perfect to work against Death Qi, which was undoubtedly of the Yin orientation.

Soon, the gloomy dark sky of the Spatial Plane was revealed again, as the Death Qi cloud disappeared.

"It worked!" Qiao De said with excitement before throwing two javelins to kill the Third Tribulation Stage Chimeric Beasts that were trying to sneak upon him.

But Lin Mu, Crown Prince Feng Shun and Lady Kang weren"t excited just yet. "Will it affect the Chimera Plant though?" they still didn"t know how much of the Death Qi supply came from the leaves.

After all, the plant had roots, which were most certainly the chief supply of Death Qi along with stores. But those were basically impossible to destroy, which how tough they were.

~SQUELCH~SQUELCH~SQUELCH~

"Look, the pods are breaking!" Daoists Chu pointed.

They looked at the pods and saw that the pods had prematurely broken apart, releasing undeveloped and malformed Chimeric Beasts.

~THUD~THUD~THUD~

The premature Chimeric Beasts were barely at the Dao Treading Realm from the energy they released, but once they fell into the sap, they quickly rose up to the First Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm. The group wondered if it was effective or not, but they soon realize that the Chimeric Beasts weren"t growing anymore.

"They aren"t developing anymore!" Lin Mu guessed that the sudden decrease in the Death Qi supply probably strangled the growth. "Kill them all, then we can go for the Fruiting Bodies."

"Say less," Crown Prince Feng Shun said as his fingertips glowed in a purple light.

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

Several explorations happened, as tens of lightning bolts shot out from the Crown Prince"s fingers. They blasted apart the newly born Chimeric beasts, along with the previous remnants that hadn"t been killed yet.

~huu~

Crown Prince Feng Shun took a deep breath and blew out, clearing the dust and smoke from the battlefield.

There, all one could see was a mess of craters as well as scattered burned body parts of the Chimeric Beasts now.

"Is that all of them?" Ziran said as he glanced around. "It"s still producing them." Crown Princess Shang pointed at the couple of new Pods that had appeared. "No, wait… they"re not growing as fast as before."
