Chapter 2167 Crash Landing With Friends
Usually when one used a Teleportation gate, they would pa.s.s through a gate that would naturally slow them down. But for Lin Mu and the rest, their current destination seems to be situated in the void and there was no such gate.
In their conflict with the Death Aura, Lin Mu and and the rest had forgotten that they would still have to deal with this at the end.
"s.h.i.+t! BRACE FOR IMPACT!" Lin Mu warned as the Longgui Bulwark Armor appeared around him.
Their speed was quite great and even for an Immortal, colliding into a solid object would be enough their bones crushed. A Body Cultivator like Lin Mu might be able to take it, but that didn't mean he would be completely fine. He would still take some damage and be dazed by the impact.
Then there was also the fact that they had no idea what kind of danger was awaiting them next. Thus it was highly important for them to be fully ready for it and not be injured.
As such, Lin Mu used his defensive skill and so did the others.
Several of the ornaments on Lady Kang's braid glowed and created a barrier around her as well as Min Ju who was next to her.
Elder Hu on the other hand, activated a skill from his armor which basically turned him into a solid sphere of iron.
Ziran surrounded himself with a layer of vines, then a layer of branches and finally a layer of leaves to turn into a large ball as well.
Crown Princess Shang did sometime similar, but she used a few seeds to do the same. The seeds sprouted and rapidly grew, forming a protective layer around her. Crown Prince Feng Shun used Wind Elemental Immortal Qi to create a wind curtain around him, and then cast a few more Qi skills to layer on top.
Qiao De did the simple thing and slapped on a hundred defensive talismans onto his body, an effective method he had learned from a legend long ago.
Monk Hushu was the last one to prepare his defensive skill and sat cross legged in the air, as the illusory form of an Arhat manifested. The Arhat was made out of stone and one might think that it was some random statue one might see in a temple.
But an aura of firmness surrounded the Arhat Statue showing that it would be tough.
"Go in, you two." Lin Mu quickly sent the twin snakes into the Sleepscape so that they would be safe.
Just a second after he did this, he reached the end and crashed into a solid stone platform.
~BOOM~
~CRACK~
His body was directly embedded into the platform as cracks spread around the hole. ~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~
And shortly after, the others crashed too, creating more holes in the platform. Thankfully enough, they could at least change their trajectories to some extent and didn't just pile on into one place. If they did, the damage from that would be a lot greater.
A cloud of dust spread in the area, making it hard to see anything for a while before a sound was heard.
~COUGH~ COUGH~
"UGH!" Lin Mu climbed out of the hole, while coughing.
The wind had been knocked out of his lungs from the crash, but thankfully his body was uninjured. Though the same could not be said for the Longgui Bulwark Armor which was shattered for the most part.
Lin Mu's front part of the Armor had basically been shattered into gravel as he had landed flat onto the platform. This might not be considered the best way for a normal person, but with the Armor, Lin MU knew this was the best way to distribute the force of the impact.
As such, Lin Mu's chest plate, greaves and gauntlets shattered from the front. His helmet was also broken from the jaw part, though the top survived. Back of the armor also had lots of cracks, but it was still holding on.
If this were a normal armor, it would have fallen off right away, but since it was actually a Qi skill, it was still stuck to Lin Mu's body.
~shua~
But he dismissed the skill and let it recover.
"How's everyone?" Lin Mu questioned before realizing that he could use his Immortal sense here. 'The immortal sense suppressing arrays are gone.' He thought.
~SHUA~
Lin Mu's immortal sense quickly covered the area and checked the condition of his friends.
"We're fine." Lady Kang's voice was heard, as she jumped out of the hole with Min Ju.
The maid seemed to be a bit rattled, and her face was also peppered with dust.
On the other hand, Lady Kang seemed like she had just walked fresh out of a boudoir. Not a single hair was out of place and she looked immaculate.
'A Qi skill or an immortal tool?' Lin Mu couldn't help but wonder how she did that, as he himself was a bit dusty too.
"I'm fine as well." Crown Prince Feng Shun's voice was heard before he flew out of the hole.
~WHOOSH~
Wind propelled him and had also managed to keep him mostly dust free. Though his hair had come loose and his hairpin seems to have been lost somewhere too, letting it flutter freely.
"Ugh, I'm dirty again." Crown Princess Shang's frustrated voice was heard, as she climbed out of her hole too.
She had twigs stuck in her hair which had basically turned into a birds nest. It was clear that the skill she used, didn't really care about form and was all function, thus she ended up with really messy hair.
"I'm fine too." Ziran said, climbing out in a similar state.
"Amithabha!" Monk Hushu had his robes torn in several places.
Daoist Chu was fine too and simply gave a thumbs up to them. But the most stunning was Qiao De.
"Looks like I'm fine too." Qiao De said as he wormed out of the ground.
"Are you sure you're fine?" Lin Mu said looking at the man's appearance.
"Yeah I'm fine." Qiao De replied with a smile, several teeth missing in it.
