Chapter 1860 Adding Humiliation To Injury

Chapter 1860 Adding Humiliation To Injury

Feng Baxing had tens of injuries on his body with many burns and cuts.

His chest was bare and was covered with blood. His nose and mouth were bleeding while great fury burned in his eyes.

"How can you…." Feng Baxing was so angry he had a hard time even speaking.

He had never been humiliated in a fight like this before, especially against someone like Lin Mu who had no background and had a lower cultivation base than him.

This was despite the fact that Feng Baxing had used 5 of the Six Winds Monarch technique's skills. All the foes that he had faced before this had yielded to the power of the techniques.

Being a Prince, Feng Baxing hadn't had many setbacks in life. The biggest set back would have been being pushed down by his elder brother the Crown Prince.

He was humiliated by that too, but could still accept it since it was the Crown prince and had the same background as him. Feng Baxing was also the second oldest son among all the children of the Emperor and as such had been above his other siblings.

He was second in the order, as he also had an older sister who was a few years younger than the Crown Prince. The Third Prince on the other hand, was nearly a hundred years younger than the Crown Prince.

As for the other children of the emperor, they weren't as significant and were weaker too.

Feng Baxing continued to simmer in anger while the audience watched it all with wide eyes and open mouths.

~sigh~

"Baxing will learn… hopefully." High Elder Juxue muttered to himself as he still cared about his Grand Nephew somewhat.

He might have not had links with the Imperial Family for a longtime and didn't interact with them much either, but it didn't mean he didn't care about them.

He just wouldn't show it openly as his first obligation was to the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts.

While everyone's eyes were on Feng Baxing, Lin Mu was nowhere to be seen. A few people in the audience wondered where he was but couldn't see it on the formation screen.

~Crumble~

That was until the ground shook, and one of the crater sides collapsed.

"Ugh… I went too deep." Lin Mu's voice could barely be heard before he appeared from the dark depths.

He was in a similar condition to Feng Baxing and was half naked. His robes were long gone, and even his pants were torn all the way to his upper thighs.

His pants had basically become boxer shorts now.

As for injuries, Lin Mu actually had them too!

Cuts and scrapes were visible on his body, a result of the Tyrant Stomps recoil. Even Lin Mu hadn't expected that as his body's defenses could usually handle them.

'I'll need to be careful with Tyrant Stomp as its raw power is too high. It can cause a recoil when hitting other objects as they'll explode.' Lin Mu took note.

It also made him think of some synergies between his existing skill. Lin Mu had made the Falling Sky Lance before, which utilized his Dao Skill and allowed him to leverage his weight.

The Tyrant Stomp had a similar effect but there were still some difference.

Such as the fact that Falling Sky Lance needed Lin Mu to reach a great height to work. The Tyrant Stomp on the other hand could work on any level. The only reason Lin Mu had even leaped was so that he could act against the Crushing Mountain Wind.

If he was in a direct confrontation, Lin Mu reckoned he could simply stomp on an enemy and flatten them into the ground.

'The fall was also why I got this damage.' Lin Mu reckoned.

Of course, most of his injuries were surface level and would be healed quickly. But it won't be so if he stacked some of his skills together.

'If I use the Aspect of Heaviness with Tyrant Stomp, I can basically take the Falling Sky Lance to another level.' Lin Mu thought. 'But at the same time, the recoil would be even greater.' He understood.

~WHOOSH~

It hadn't been more than a couple of seconds since Lin Mu had risen back up, when a sharp wind hit him.

"YOU! YOU SHALL SUFFER FOR THIS!" Feng Baxing roared.

His anger had exploded the moment he saw his opponent. Lin Mu's condition also made Feng Baxing think that he was now weakened.

'There is no way he would be fine after that. His energy should also be expended.' Feng Baxing thought, which would have been correct if not for the fact that Lin Mu also practiced the Three Apertures Invoking technique.

Due to that, Lin Mu could still handle using the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets' skills. Feng Baxing knew about the weakness of the body cultivation technique and had looked into it.

What he had found out was that while the technique was very strong, it also had a high consumption of Immortal Essence. As such, Feng Baxing had thought that as long as Lin Mu ran out of Immortal Essence, ending him would be easy.

After all, Lin Mu's qi cultivation was still at the second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm which was almost a joke to Feng Baxing.

But all this turned out to be a gross understatement as the Third Prince had no idea how diversified Lin Mu's skills actually were. They could hit above their weight and could catch one off guard.

It was how Lin Mu had broken the man's Azure Wind Shield in the first place along with the robes.

Wanting to end it all, Feng Baxing took a drastic step.

"Six Winds Monarch Technique: Sky Churning Tempest!" Feng Baxing used the last skill.

But his usage of the skill was met with astonishment from the crowd along with Lin Mu.

"How's he doing that? He's only at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm." Lin Mu muttered in confusion.
