A mix of Sword Intent and Metal attribute immortal Qi rose from Lin Mu's sword as the skill activated.

A pillar of light rose up from Lin Mu's slash, quickly transforming into a pine tree. Its trunk rapidly grew, while branches extended from it. The branches then sprouted twigs and leaves that all locked the body of Chang Fa within them.

The Pine Tree was incredibly tough and no matter how much Chang Fa struggled, he couldn't free his body. Even when using his tough hair, he was unable to wiggle out of it.

The branches and twigs of the Pine Tree were criss-crossing, tangling with the hair while the leaves locked it in place.

"How can this be?!" Chang Fa shouted in protest.

He had thought that his victory was close and yet, the odds had been turned with just a single slash from Lin Mu.

'Had he always been playing with me from the start!?' Chang Fa couldn't help but wonder.

He had many ambitions and thoughts. He had come to the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts so that he could let his clan rise to glory. But now it seemed like his plan was going to end before it even began.

Chang Fa's eyes were bloodshot while he struggled to push back against the yellow pine tree. And yet, he was overpowered with ease. He looked at the person who was behind it all and suddenly found him standing next to him.

"Huh, what?" Chang Fa could swear Lin Mu was on the other end of the ring just a couple of seconds ago.

"Are you unwilling?" Lin Mu questioned.

Chang Fa didn't answer right away, thinking that this was Lin Mu's way of mocking him.

"Hmm, your gaze is enough of an answer." Lin Mu said before doing something that shocked Chang Fa.
