Chapter 620 - Assistance From Little Shrubby

Little Shrubby flipped mid air and looked at the mist in the distance.

"Where is master?" Little Shrubby questioned, unable to see anything.

"Use our connection to find me, it should still be working." Lin Mu replied.

Little Shrubby nodded his head and closed his eyes, using the connection to sense Lin Mu's location. It didn't take him long to sense where he was.

"I'm coming!" Little Shrubby said with a roar.

~Boom~

He burst forward and disappeared into the mist, sending it roiling to the edges. The winds generated by his speed were splitting apart the mist while the heat from his body was also making the mist evaporate.

The path that he had traveled had cleaved open the mist.

~whoosh~

Lin Mu heard a sound and saw Little Shrubby appear from the distance. But that was not all, as he could see the outer area of the sect from the path that Little Shrubby had unintentionally created.

Lin Mu raised his brows and wondered if this was a valid method of navigating, but then the mist started to move and covered the path that had appeared. Still, now that Lin Mu knew that it was possible to do so, he had more hope.

"What do we need to do?" Little Shrubby asked.

~swoosh~

But just as he spoke, a mist weapon came flying toward it.

"DIE, VILE BEAST!" The First elder thundered.

~GRRR~

Little Shrubby growled in irritation and spat out a fireball that met the mist weapon, destroying it instantly.

"If one doesn't work, take a hundred more! AHAHAHA!" The first elder laughed as more and more mist weapons shot out from the mist fortress.

~boom~

~boom~

~boom~

Little Shrubby dodged a majority of the mist weapons with his speed while the rest he destroyed with fire.

"What I want you to do is to throw me towards the mist fortress." Lin Mu said, while dodging the mist weapons.

Little Shrubby nodded his head and got closer to Lin Mu, so that he could get on his back.

~ROAR~

Little Shrubby circled around the barrage of the mist weapons and got a sufficient distance away from the fortress. Lin Mu was on his back, but this time he was not strapped into the harness. They two continued to move at a great speed and once they were two kilometers away from the fortress, they turned around.

"Now follow my direction and run," Lin Mu said as he instructed little Shrubby through his mind.

Little Shrubby started to run toward the mist fortress according to Lin Mu's direction. Whenever the fortress moved, Lin Mu told Little Shrubby so that it could make adjustments accordingly. The more little Shrubby ran, the greater his speed got.

But even now he was not at his full speed, it was only at perhaps fifty percent. The mist weapons were unable to keep up with little shrubby's speed and kept on missing, despite getting closer to him.

Lin Mu kept his eyes trained on the mist fortress, tracking its every move.

"NOW!" Lin Mu yelled.

Little Shrubby stopped at that very moment, and Lin Mu was short forward due to momentum. But this was exactly what Lin Mu wanted, and he used fade the moment he was sent flying. The momentum he had was carried over to the parallel world and just when Lin Mu estimated that he should be in the mist fortress, he deactivated the skill.

~shua~

Lin Mu suddenly felt a constricting force around him when he reappeared in the real world. It felt like there were restraints wrapping around him, slowing his ability to move. He looked around and saw that the mist here was even denser.

"HOW DID YOU ENTER MY MIST FORTRESS! NOOO! THIS CANNOT HAPPEN!" The First elder was shocked at first, but then got furious. "Be crushed under the misty depths!."

'Where is he?' Lin Mu thought as he used his spatial perception.

But despite using that, he was unable to tell the exact location of the first elder.

"Of course, if he's not moving, I won't be able to see the faint disturbances in the spatial fabric," Lin Mu understood.

He gritted his teeth and wondered if he had now been trapped.

"No! I need to think calmly, there must be a way." Lin Mu said to himself.

He continued using spatial perception to look around and soon found a difference.

"There is an… outline?" Lin Mu muttered.

Lin Mu could see that there was a demarcation of the spatial fabric around the area. He had previously been unable to see it as he had not observed till that far. But now that he saw it, the demarcation was rather smooth and in a circle.

After analyzing it, Lin Mu guessed that it must be the area that the mist fortress was located in.

"The mist fortress isn't that large and seeing the location that I'm in is quite deep… that should work." Lin Mu muttered as his eyes flashed with the spark of an idea.

He moved his hands with difficulty as the mist bound around his body like mud, but still managed to extend it to the front.

~huu~

Then taking a deep breath, Lin Mu felt the space around him before muttering, "Meld."

~HONG~

In the next moment, everything around him freezes. The mist didn't move, and neither did it swirl. The restraints that were around him were torn off and he could now move his body freely. Meld had fully frozen the space around him.

"Where are you, first elder!" Lin Mu shouted with a smirk.

But he received no answer.

"Perfect…" Lin Mu muttered, seeing that he got no response.

Lin Mu then flipped his hands and made a grasping motion in the air, before parting his hands. It was the same as moving apart two curtains to walk into a room.

~shua~

The mist fortress started to move and parted.

With the flick of a hand, Lin Mu split apart the fortress in two!
