Chapter 2341  Knocked Out

Lin Mu"s descent from the sky didn"t go unnoticed, for the energy fluctuations coming from him were simply too ma.s.sive.

"What!?" Crown Prince Feng Shun and the other looked up, only to see what looked like a meteor descending from the skies.

~WHOOSH~

They didn"t get to see it for long though, as just a second later a red blur appeared in front of them before whisking them away to safety. If not for the fact that they had already become familiar with it"s energy, they would have thought that it was an attack too.

Since everyone was roughly gathered in one place, Little Shrubby didn"t take longer than a couple seconds to carry them afar. He didn"t stop running until they were at least twenty kilometer away, for he knew the impact was going to be ma.s.sive.

~RUMBLE~

The sky shook with Lin Mu"s descent, his power increasing his speed to a blinding level such that even the sound barrier was broken!

~BOOM~

With a sonic boom, the dark clouds in the sky were forcefully dissipated as a long streak of light struck straight into the ma.s.sive maggot.

~KABOOM~

All that sound be seen and heard was a ma.s.sive explosion, before a mushroom cloud seemingly rose out of it.

The cloud reached a stunning height of over five kilometers within a few seconds and covered an area of several more kilometer within its dusty hot curtain. "That… isn"t that what Daoist Mu Lin used in the Tournament before?" Crown Princess Shang recognized. "Against Yao Changying?"

"It is… but this… isn"t this a lot stronger than that?" Daoist Chu couldn"t help but compare.

While the impact had been strong back then too and it had been the decisive move that had ended up defeating Yao Changying, the scope of it had been limited compared to what they were seeing now.

"Looks like Daoist Mu Lin has improved it since then." Crown Prince Feng Shun said as he continued to look at the scene.

They had been worried that Lin Mu had been knocked too far away by the surprise attack, but it had only been an opportunity for him to counterattack the ma.s.sive maggot. He had also been the one to sense just what the maggot was and what would be needed to eliminate it as soon as possible.

Minute after minute pa.s.sed, as the area stated to settle. "Let"s see go to Daoist Mu Lin," Lady Kang said, seeing that he had not responded or appeared yet.

"Yes." Ziran and the others agreed, before the group quickly went there.

The dust was still thick though and it was hard to see, not to mention the turbulent immortal Qi from the attack had also made it harder for everyone to use this immortal sense. But that was only making everyone more concerned.

"Let me clear it," Crown Prince Feng Shun said as he generated a stormy gust of wind that blew away all the dust.

~WHOOSH~

It felt like the mushroom cloud had been cut from the base, as the stormy gust cleared away the ground. That was all they needed anyway, and they finally saw the true extent of the damage. A giant crater was now in place of the former camp.

The ground had sunk in by at least a few hundred meters more than before when Lin Mu had used Earthen Devastator on it. The crater was about two kilometer wide with its entirety turning pitch black from the heat.

The central part that had taken the majority of the impact had directly turned into lava, the heat of the impact having heated it to the point of melting.

It was also in this pool of lava that a figure was floating.

"Daoist Mu Lin!" Lady Kang saw him and couldn"t help but exclaim.

~WHOOSH~

Little Shrubby spent no time in rushing to his master"s aid, anxiety on his mind. If not for the connection still intact and functioning he would have though that Lin Mu was heavily injured. ~SHUA~SHUA~

The group quickly disembarked and picked up Lin Mu from the Lava. His Longgui Bulwark Armor was still active and had endured a lot of the backlash from the skill, though parts of it had shattered. His boots were gone and parts of his chest piece and gauntlets were also broken.

"We should take him to a safer place, we don"t know if that thing is still alive." Ziran advised.

"Yes!" Lady Kang agreed and looked at Little Shrubby.

~ROAR~

The anxious beast swiftly carried them all away and didn"t stop until they were over two hundred kilometers away. While on Little Shrubby"s back, they started to check up on him.

"Is he fine?" Qiao De asked.

Lady Kang was inspecting Lin Mu with her immortal sense and could tell that his vitality was fine while his Qi was circulating rather vigorously too.

"He"s just unconscious." Lady Kang answered. "How strong was that attack for him to pa.s.s out from it?" Daoist Chu couldn"t help but say. "He didn"t pa.s.s out like this before."

Crown Prince Feng Shun furrowed his brows, as he found the situation a bit concerning. "Wait, his legs!" it was now that Min Ju saw something. "Look, the spots!" she pointed out.

They had missed it earlier as Lin Mu"s legs had been covered in soot, but after being cleaned they could finally see the aftereffects of going against the ma.s.sive maggot.

"His hands too." Ziran noticed. "That"s where he must"ve been struck by it before."

These were the very same grey spots they all had gotten too and knew how bad they could be. The group had managed to get rid of them to varying levels, and knew the method to do so, but that didn"t mean that they could do that to others.

"Wait… is that why he is unconscious?" Crown Princess Shang wondered expression her concern.

Hearing that the expressions of the others dropped too, as it was not looking good now.
