Chapter 622 - Killing The First Elder Having reduced the area that he was effectively controlling also reduce the amount of spirit Qi meld was consuming. From one percent every second, it fell to one percent every ten seconds. While this still seemed to be quite a lot, there was no way Lin Mu could go below it. This was not a problem of consumption due to the quantity right now but rather due to the quality. Meld would consume different amounts of spirit Qi depending on the area that it was being used on and also the ’quality’ of the area. The quality in this sense meant what that area contained. For example, if that area contained a cultivator that was at the Qi refining realm, Lin Mu would easily be able to use meld for over an hour with just one percent of his spirit Qi. But if that same cultivator was at the Nascent Soul realm, the consumption was increased to one percent needed for every ten seconds. It would also be the same for high energy areas like formation arrays and such. Areas that had high spatial stability would also be very difficult for meld to manipulate and thus, the consumption would be high as well. That was the reason why Xukong had told Lin Mu to find the flaws in the spatial fabric. While Meld could cut space from any part, cutting it from the weaker parts would use far less energy and would also be easier. And now that Lin Mu could grasp that he found himself being able to move around much easily. His hands that felt like they had been stuck in a swamp, were now finally free to move. "Now... SPLIT FOR ME!" Lin Mu said as he turned his hand and pulled away. ~shua~ With his gesture, that area that was currently under the influence of Meld was split apart. It was like he was cutting pieces of a pie, but they were unequal. Once they spread apart though, Lin Mu could see within them. "THERE YOU ARE!" Lin Mu exclaimed as he spotted the first elder in one of the pieces of the ’pie’ slightly off the center. But he was not fully contained in that section. Rather than that, one of his arms was in a different section and a part of his waists was in another section as well. Seeing this, Lin Mu turned his hands and curled his little finger and index finger. The two parts that contained the majority of the First elder were pulled towards him while the rest he freed from meld. ~shua~ The mist started to flow again and only the two pieces that Lin Mu was currently controlling meld were consuming his spirit Qi. His consumption of spirit Qi finally reached a more tolerable level that he did not need to worry about right now. Lin Mu brought his hands closer to him, pulling the two chunks that were currently being controlled by him that contained the first elder. Lin Mu looked the elder straight into his eyes and saw his taunting expression that was frozen. "This man..." Lin Mu muttered and extended his left hand to grasp the elder’s head. ~thud~ He then pulled on it, easily separating the head from the body. Since the space was still frozen, Lin Mu had not actually cut the head apart, but rather just split the space. If the head was put back right now, it would still return to normal. But Lin Mu did not have that intention at all. Instead, he lowered his right hand and stopped using meld. ~shua~ The space returned to normal once again, except for one major change. The body of the First elder was no divided into four unequal parts. His left arm was in a different fragment and the rest of his body was in a different part. Then a small part of his waist was also taken up by another chunk of space. And finally, his head was now in Lin Mu’s hand, which blinked a couple of times before going dead. ~Huala~ The body of the elder that was now falling down started to glow for a moment as a Nascent Soul flew out from it. ~Nom~ Alas! Before the Nascent Soul could even have a chance at escaping, Little Shrubby took the opportunity to devour it. His eyes closed in pleasure and turned into two ’U’s as he enjoyed the treat, which was probably one of the most luxurious treats a beast could have... a Nascent Soul. "Uh... I guess that’s fine too?" Lin Mu said upon seeing Little Shrubby eat the Nascent Soul of the first elder. The poor man had no chance to say any last words and was eliminated rather quickly. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 ~WHOOSH~ With the demise of the first elder, the Weapon Mist domain started to dissipate and Lin Mu found himself being able to use spirit Qi once again along with his spirit sense. "There you are!" In the very next moment, Lin Mu heard the voice of Jing Luo coming from the back. He turned around and saw the man flying towards him at great speed. Lin Mu understood that now that the Weapon Mist Domain was not effective, Jing Luo would be able to use his spirit sense and find him quickly. In the next second, Jing Luo was right beside him and looked at the head of the First elder in Lin Mu’s hand. "Seems like you handled it pretty well..." Jing Luo praised. "It was tricky... but I managed," Lin Mu said with a nod. ~GRRR~ "Oh, and little Shrubby helped a lot too," Lin Mu said with a smile upon hearing the growl of Little Shrubby. ~phew~ "We should get out now. The death of these many elders should have definitely caused panic at the sect. As much as I would like to decimate the entire sect, I think it would be best we leave this place." Jing Luo said. "Mmm... let us leave." Lin Mu said.
