Walker Of The Worlds

Teng Xiaolian had not been expecting to meet Lin Mu so fast just after separating. He had thought that the boy was most likely exhausted after using the High-grade healing technique. Even if the boy was at the Peak stage of the Qi refining realm, Teng Xiaolian knew of the exhaustion brought on by using any High-Grade technique.

Healing techniques were even more intense and their spirit qi conception would depend on the person it was being used on. Seeing Zhou Ye's condition and how fast he was healed, Teng Xiaolian couldn't even imagine it.

That's why, when he saw Lin Mu asking to check the corpse of the Ashen Cloak mercenary he was surprised.

'He's rather dutiful, Hong Luo did good asking him for help. He's helping us with this even when he's tired.' Teng Xiaolian thought.

Teng Xiaolian let Lin Mu enter and then saw him staring at the dead mercenary. He then informed him of the time of death. Lin Mu went close and became silent. Teng Xiaolian easily guessed that Lin Mu was just observing using his spirit sense.

But when he saw a troubled expression appear on Lin Mu's face, he felt nervous. It was then that it happened. Strange and esoteric chants started coming out of Lin Mu's lips. Even though they were faint, due to the tent being enclosed and him being near, Teng Xiaolian was still able to hear them.

It would be fine if he just heard them, but the chants were nothing but fine. Teng Xiaolian had been through many life-threatening situations, he's had deadly beast's glare at him and blades pointed at him by enemies.

But this feeling that he got from these chants was just simply terrifying. It was as if countless blades were pointed at his body and were just about to touch his skin. He felt his life hanging by his thread and thought that he would be dying the instant he tried to do anything.

A couple of seconds later the feeling got less intense and Teng Xiaolian was finally able to breathe. By now, his entire body was covered with cold sweat. He understood that whatever these chants were, they were not targeting him, but rather something else.

'What terrifying killing intent! Even if it's not targeting me, just its mere presence is enough to freeze me.' Teng Xiaolian thought.

The belief that he had in his heart about Lin Mu being the disciple of a top sect was completely cemented now. If it was affirmed when he saw Lin Mu using the High-grade healing technique, now it was unshakable.

In the words of a legendary cultivator, 'He would pity the fool', who would mistake Lin Mu for any common cultivator.

But just as he was about to come out of his thoughts, Teng Xiaolian heard the most inhuman screech he had ever heard. He then saw the dark black smoky aura rising from the corpse and forming an irregular figure that had bone spurs and skulls on its body.

Just looking at the figure made Teng Xiaolian feel repulsed from the very bottom of the heart. Its presence was also something he had never felt before. It was as if a mixture of fear, loathing, and repulsion was formed in his heart.

then saw Lin Mu extend his hand and catching the figure. But alas, the figure faded away and disappeared into thin
