Chapter 1072 Murdering The Unworthy

~s.h.i.+NG~

~SPLAT~

~THUD~

~BOOM~

In the dimly lit third floor of the seclusion hall, a series of noises echoed.

Each was accompanied by waves of spirit Qi and from time to time, a golden glow could be seen as well. The people waiting above in the second floor didn't even know that a battle was raging below them.

Though more than a battle, it was more accurate to call it a slaughter.

"Filthy"

"Unworthy"

"Traitors"

"Fiends"

Several words came out of Lin Mu's mouth, each tinged with the sharpest intent of murder.

And murder was indeed what was done here. Though perhaps the more orthodox powers would deem it as justice instead.

"Why is it taking so long?" One of the disciples waiting on the second floor asked.

Since the elders had been sent downstairs to check what was happening, they had been made to wait here. But it had now been five minutes and there was still no response.

The two elders who were here in the second floor were feeling the same and had just finished registering the last of the names.

"Should we check too?" A junior elder asked.

"Perhaps we sh"

~BOOM~

And just as the elder was about to finish his word, the floor beneath them exploded!

"AHH!"

"WHAT!?"

The disciples were all startled due to it and some of them were knocked away from the explosion. They were injured of course, but were more in shock as they saw two people coming out of it.

"W-who?!" the other elders couldn't help but question.

The one who had come out was none other than Lin Mu of course, and the man grasped in his hand was the supreme elder.

The supreme elder wasn't in a good shape either. One of his arms was missing while a leg was broken and bent backwards.

He was bleeding from several spots, and some of his teeth were missing as well.

"Speak! Where is your patriarch!?" Lin Mu questioned.

To Lin Mu, he was sure that Gu Yao was directing it. And now that he had seen the actions of the Ripple mist sect, he deemed them unworthy of living any longer. But to do that, he needed to eliminate all the elders, since they all were under the control of Gu Yao, willing or unwillingly.

Though here, he could tell that most of them were being controlled willingly. He hadn't sensed the presence of the Human Controlling Blood Curse. Which only told Lin Mu that I was probably placed on the patriarch of the Ripple Mist sect.

And thus he needed to get rid of that man too, if he wanted to stop them all.

~COUGH~

"I will never tell you!" The Dao Treading Realm supreme elder rejected.

"Very well you chose this." Lin Mu said before stabbing his hand straight into the elder's abdomen.

~SHUA~

The supreme elder's eyes went wide as he felt the metal spirit Qi directly pouring into his Dantian and rus.h.i.+ng into his remaining meridians. He had already felt the power of Lin Mu's golden fists and the other elders had been killed in mere singular blows.

Even he had been caught off guard and before he could react, multiple attacks rendered him incapacitated. The metal spirit Qi turned his own spirit Qi chaotic and damaged his meridians.

He couldn't even focus his mind enough to restrain that damage, as it was simply too much for him. Additionally, the thoughts of Lin Mu suddenly appearing were also absurd to him. He didn't even understand how he could enter the sect and even go all the way to their seclusion hall with no problem.

It was as if all the defensive formation arrays were nothing to him.

Unfortunately for the man, his thoughts were useless, and he was as good as head now.

"WHO ARE YOU?!"

"LEAVE THE SUPREME ELDER!" The reaming elders stupidly called out.

They had spoken on instinct, but failed to realize how Lin Mu had already killed all the elders and had badly beaten up their supreme elder.

The disciples had noticed the dead bodies of the other elders downstairs as the hole Lin Mu had come out of left everything exposed.

But along with that, they also saw the blood pools and thousands of bodies that floated in them. Some of the weak-hearted ones directly fainted while those with weak stomachs vomited out their last meals.

Lin Mu looked gave a look to the two elders before tossing the supreme elder lightly into the air.

~WHOOSH~

Then a golden leg tore through the air, kicking the falling body of the supreme elder straight through the roof, into the first floor and then out into the sky!

~SHUA~

The supreme elder helplessly flew up into the sky and soon felt the abnormality in his body.

'My Nascent soul Dao sh.e.l.l Dao Embryo' he couldn't even let out a peep as his body started to glow in a orange light.

~KABOOM!~

Finally, his body exploded into smithereens in the air as spirit Qi turned chaotic.

The disciples and elders watched with stunned expressions as they felt the spirit Qi fluctuations of the supreme elder disappear.

Lin Mu watched it all with a cold gaze and didn't care for it at all.

'Lowering the quant.i.ty of metal spirit Qi by half still has good effects.' Lin Mu noted.

By lowering the initial output and reducing the range of attack to point blank, he had gained the same after effect with less cost.

Lin Mu was merely testing it out and had not expected it to be this good. Though it had certainly come at an expense that others would find soul shaking. After all, he had tested this on a Dao Treading Realm expert!

Seeing the death of their supreme elder, the disciples were too shocked to move. But the remaining four elders weren't like that. One of them trusted his instincts and directly decided to run away.

~s.h.i.+NG~

"GAH!"

But just as he had taken a few steps into the air, a short sword stabbed through his back.
