Chapter 1854 Eroding Defenses

With Lin Mu's two different styled attacks, Feng Baxing now found his s.h.i.+eld to be eroding.

"Two sides done, one more to go." Lin Mu smirked and directly approached the third side.

He had realized that due to the s.h.i.+elds pyramidal structure, the only way to take it down was to wear down all sides at once. But it wasn't enough to just use a singular attack as the s.h.i.+eld would simply adapt to it and block it by increasing power.

But if different kinds of attacks were used together, that too of a great strength, the s.h.i.+eld would be unable to keep up and eventually collapse.

As such, Lin Mu used longer lasting skills like Afternoon Pine's innate skill, as well as the newly modified Stone Burst Pelting Arrow which continued to rain down stone shrapnel.

This now left the third side empty which Lin Mu targeted. He also had the perfect overbearing skill for it.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath, as the Immortal qi within his body started to churn. It moved into his right arm and spun at a great speed. Turning into a long spiral, it gathered power.

At the same time, Lin Mu continued to get closer to the s.h.i.+eld and when he was just fifty meters away, he punched towards it.

Boulder Collapsing Fist: Second Form- Piercer!

~HISS~

Lin Mu had used about 15% of his Immortal qi in this attack and it had greatly increased the power of the Boulder Collapsing Fist.

The very air was torn apart, as a the needle shaped energy left Lin Mu's fist. His arm barely managed to withstand the recoil as a small tear appeared on his middle knuckle.

Thankfully, Lin Mu's body cultivation was able to handle it even at this point. But Lin Mu was sure that if he raised the power to 20% of his Immoral qi, his knuckles would probably bloodied and left bare.

"What is" Before Feng Baxing could even register the small energy needle, it had already struck the Pyramidal s.h.i.+eld.

~CRACK~

~CRACK~

~CRACK~

The Azure wind s.h.i.+eld was unable to bear the three sided attack and cracked.

~SHATTER~

The Boulder Collapsing Fist was the final straw that broke the camel's back and Feng Baxing was caught in between.

~BOOM~

The three skills collided with Feng Baxing creating a mix of blinding lights.

No one could see what was happening and even Lin Mu's Immortal sense was unable to traverse through the turbulent waves of Immortal qi that were spreading due to the attack.

But one thing was sure that Feng Baxing would not be able to handle it with ease.

~gasp~

Tens of thousands of gasps were heard as the Audience watched Feng Baxing's s.h.i.+eld finally fail.

'No one was able to get through it before other than Childe Wildlife and he was at the Sixth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm and was even using the Scorching Sun flames but Daoist Mu Lin didn't use either of that.' A few elders in the audience were hard at a.n.a.lyzing it all.

The Third Prince was still above Lin Mu in terms of cultivation base, but they didn't know if he could escape unscathed.

"He still has the Shearing Hurricane Fan, Third Prince will still be able to make a come back!" There were many fans of the third prince in the audience too and they didn't believe that he'd fall back so easily.

Still no matter the speculation, they still needed to wait for the scene to change.

High Elder Juxue had his eyes locked onto it too and was watching for every minute change. At the same time, he was silently communicating with the formation masters who were monitoring the spatial plane.

'Everything is fine High Elder. No signs of abnormalities.' They a.s.sured.

'Alright.' High Elder Juxue replied before narrowing his eyes. 'While the attack was strong, Feng Baxing should still have more defensive measures.' The old man knew due to being part of the Imperial Family in the past.

He knew just how many Immortal tools, talismans, armors and other treasure that were present in the Imperial family. Being the Third Prince, Feng Baxing should have access to a lot of them.

And being the Third prince's Grand Uncle, he knew even more than others, including what skills the Third Prince had learned as well as the techniques that he had mastered.

~WOOONG~

Sure enough, a few seconds later the High Elder's guess turned out to be correct.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Feng Baxing let out an enraged cry and an overwhelming aura flowed out from his body.

~WHOOSH~

The aura pushed away the turbulent qi and finally allowed the people to see what was happening.

Lin Mu was also alert and had his Immortal sense observing everything closely.

Feng Baxing stood in mid air, while the area around him was destroyed. The ground had caved in and long cracks that extended for nearly half a kilometer could also be seen.

The Third Prince looked to be a bit disheveled and the robes that he was wearing were currently glowing with runes. One look was enough for everyone to recognize them to be Strong Defensive Immortal Robes.

A streak of blood seeped out of the corner of Feng Baxing's mouth while his expression looked extremely p.i.s.sed.

~shua~

A couple seconds later, the glowing runes on his robes faded away and the immortal qi fluctuations coming from them had also vanished.

"You!!! You destroyed the Imperial Azure Coat Robes!" Feng Baxing shouted in anger.

Lin Mu's immortal sense could observe a lot more and felt all of Feng Baxing's aura as well as the entirety of the man's cultivation base. This gave him a lot of information and made him realize that the robes were masking Feng Baxing all this time.

'So the robes really were behind it all. They were his true defensive treasure but now that is destroyed too.' Lin Mu could sense the traces of his Sword Intent on them and realized that it was ultimately that which had broken the formation on the robes.
