Chapter 2187  Memories Of The Swords

Lin Mu was sure that the skills of Afternoon Pine's former owner were no less than his own.

'He was certainly strong… This cultivation technique is also unique, almost perfect for Afternoon Pine.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Did he perhaps make Afternoon Pine specifically for that?' he wondered.

It would make sense considering that the Qi skills that came with Afternoon Pine were not exactly conventional. They seemed something that had been specifically made by keeping a cultivator's style.

While Lin Mu had no problems in using Afternoon Pine, it would not be the same case for others. Because he already had Advanced Sword Intent when he obtained them, he could quickly adapt them into his style. For other cultivators that didn't have sword intent, the sword would not only be unwieldy it would also strain one's Qi circuits to use its Qi skill.

It was a metal elemental Qi skill in the end, and if one did not have a proper affinity they might even damage their own meridians in using it.

~SHING~SHING~SHING~

The forest of sword slashes had wiped out a large chunk of the beast swarm, making things easier for the other cultivators that were participating.

Lin Mu could see at least thirty more people passing by in his field of vision, though their faces were very vague and could not be properly made out.

But this did give him a major clue to the inheritance ground or rather the Spatial Plane.

'More than thirty people are here? How's that possible?' Lin Mu couldn't help but wonder. 'Only ten of us were allowed and yet this battlefield is definitely the same spatial plane.' He thought after comparing the scenery.

He even wondered if there were other restrictions they didn't know about that allowed more people inside.

'I'll have to look into it more.' Lin Mu noted and continued to watch.

Afternoon Pine's former owner continued to battle the eerie beasts, but was getting slower as time passed.

'He's exhausted and injured.' Lin Mu could see a few attacks that had come his way had not been successfully dodged or blocked.

As such the man had certainly taken damage. In fact, the feeling of pain was even transmitted to Lin Mu, but he could easily ignored it with his willpower.

'Compared to what Dugu Shanhe did, this is nothing.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

The mental attack skill of that man was simply on another level, considering the fact that it could actually extract memories from Lin Mu's soul. It had taken Xukong's intervention for Lin Mu to get out of it.

But that wasn't all that allowed Lin Mu to endure this. What made it easy for him was in fact the defensive soul skill, Litany of Verdant Forests!

Even though it hadn't openly shown its effect, the skill was in fact defending Lin Mu's mind and soul at all times. 'Effects of this level are not even enough for the Litany of Verdant Forests to activate properly. It can defend against them by merely existing.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

This served as a good test for the skill and was perhaps the first time it was showing its power. The demonstration was simply effortless, and made it simpler for Lin Mu to observe the memories. He could pay better attention to the finer details and allowed him to obtain more information.

He paid attention to each and every voice that could be heard, trying to make out what they were saying.

"The Auroch Chimeric beasts are reducing! Everyone hold on until reinforcements arrive!" The Former Owner of Afternoon Pine called out.

This taught Lin Mu two facts; the name of the eerie beasts and who the owner was.

'So those eerie beasts are Auroch Chimeric Beasts… So they are related to Chimeras for sure.' Lin Mu noted. 'Also the former owner of Afternoon Pine seems to be in a leadership position of some sort. He's definitely directing the battle with the others.' He observed.

~SHUA~

But after a minute, Lin Mu's vision suddenly turned dark and he felt a strange sense of displacement. ~WHOOSH~

When his vision returned, he found himself in another point of view with a large claw coming towards him.

Lin Mu felt the urgency as well as the anxiety that this person was feeling. But these feelings were not due to the large claw that was about to attack him, but rather for the safety of other people.

The emotions were very strong and Lin Mu would not mistake the intentions contained within them.

~CLANG~

This person casually blocked the claw, as a familiar long sword presented to Lin Mu.

'Ocean Raker's former owner…' Lin Mu understood. 'And that hand… A woman?' "VILE BEASTS! BEGONE!" A feminine voice was heard.

The woman swung Ocean Raker and split the claw into two, while also cutting the beast that had attacked her. Lin Mu also got a proper look at the beast that was different from the previous ones.

'It's big… And is also a mix of various creatures.' Lin Mu observed it.

It stood at a tall ten meters, and had six slender limbs that looked like they belonged to a stick bug. It also had four long scythe-like claws that belonged to a mantis. Its head was seemingly missing though, with only a stump present.

For some reason the beast was alive despite its head gone.

It was one of these very claws that had been blocked by the Swordswoman and was now severed. The power behind her cut was obvious and contained a hint of Sword Intent too.

Though Lin Mu didn't know if she was on the same level as Afternoon Pine's owner.

"Seven Seas Sword Style!" She uttered before doing a crescent cleave in the air. "Second Form: Riptide!" ~WOOLONGONG~

Her sword slash transformed into a large wave that rushed at great speed and overwhelmed the large beast.

The beasts entire body was turned into fragments before being washed away by the wave. A few other beasts that were behind it were also caught and destroyed.
