Lin Wu had erased the brands on the spirit weapons by saturating the area with radiation, which pushed all the spirit Qi out of that zone. This caused their spirit sense to stop working and thus erasing their brands on the spirit weapons.

It was actually a rather crude way of doing it. But in the current condition where he was having a hard time controlling himself, this seemed like the easiest way.

Did it use up extra spirit Qi? Yes.

Did it matter to Lin Wu? No.

He would just be extorting the spirit Qi he used up from the corpses of these men. No way in hell would he let them go after this. He could feel that his temper was raging and he was in a destructive mood.

~Zing~

Shirong spun around with a whip kick, sending out arcs of lightning that sang like sparrows. The lightning cut through the men cleanly, searing their flesh. The smell of barbecued meat spread in the area, making Lin Wu feel hungry.

~HRRRR~

A strange distorting sound came out of the armor, which surprised Shirong, but he didn't have the time to pay attention to it. But the priest and the man with the pendant definitely noticed it.

"See! I told you that is no man!" The man with the pendant shouted.

This time the priest had no choice but to accept the fact that they had hit a steel board.

~gulp~

"RETREAT! I SAY RETREAT!" The priest ordered, unable to suppress his fear.

Even though he was a nascent Soul realm cultivator himself, the pressure exuding from Shirong was way stronger now that he was wearing the Armor. Not to mention the man could use two heavenly elements alone!

~Shua~

~shua~

~shua~

Those that were in the outer area quickly turned around before escaping the same way they had arrived, but the ones that were left at the back met their demise as Shirong tore through them.

He was like a wolf among a herd of sheep. Biting and tearing through them as he pleased.

Blood splattered on the emerald armor as it sizzled and instantly evaporated, leaving behind dry crusty residue which then fell off the armor. It was evident that the radiation emanating from Lin Wu's body was way too hot for it.

Seeing that his foes were escaping with the red stone, Shirong shouted "YOU DARE RUN! I'LL SPLATTER YOUR GUTS!"

He flew ahead like lighting, Lin Wu accelerating his speed further. Claws of wind gnawed at the ground as Shirong's flight displaced the air. He directly passed through the escaping men, absolutely destroying them in the process.

He was like an anti-material bullet, tearing through a mass of flesh.

The priest and the man with the pendant had managed to get to the top though, and the man who was using the smoking sword was lagging just a step behind.

"Priest! Quick! Use the beacon or we'll die!" The man with the smoking sword said.

~splat~

But before he could speak anymore, a hand protruded out of his chest. The hand clasped his heart and a part of his lungs, as they boiled under the heat and lightning.

~Shua~

~Boom~

The man's body suddenly exploded as Shirong saturated it with wind attribute spirit Qi from the gauntlets. The blood and guts rained from the sky, staining the platform and the stairs. The twisting and coiling trees were also covered with blood. Their original white color contrasted with the color of the blood, making them look like some horrifying ghouls.

~thud~

The man with the pendant fell to the ground with a thud as a foul liquid leaked out of his pants. He had pissed himself in fear!

Shirong stepped forward and the fallen man could not stand up, frozen due to terror.

~step~

~Sizzle~

Shirong stepped on the man as the hot crystal boots burned his clothes and flesh.

"NOOO! PLEASE HAVE MERCY!" The man pleased.

~humph~

~splat~

Shirong harrumphed in disgust and increased the weight on his leg, flattening the man's chest in one go, silencing him forever.

He continued ahead coolly, staring into the eyes of the priest as he left the body behind.

"N-No… don't… oh great Skull god please save your servant from this beast!" The priest prayed.

The priest trembled under Shirong's gaze, wishing that he would be taken away from here. Shirong thought simply extended his hand, his fingers spread apart, nearing his neck.

But before they could actually touch him, he felt something approaching.

~WHOOSH~

A massive cyclone suddenly stuck where he was and blew him away. This was quite surprising since he was wearing the Immortal Crystal Armament in the armor form, which was quite heavy. Even with his Nascent Soul realm cultivation base, it was difficult for Shirong to lift it.

Had it not been for Lin Wu 'floating' Shirong would never be able to move this well while bearing the weight.

One must know Lin Wu's avatar's current weight was over 100,000 kilograms. Sending something this heavy flying, meant the winds were terrifyingly strong.

~thud~

~splat~

Shirong was embedded into the ground as he created a crater around him. His spirit sense spread around and discovered the presence of another Nascent Soul being in the area. But this was no normal Nascent Soul realm being but rather one at the Adult Stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"WHO!?" Shirong yelled as he pulled himself out of the ground.

But then he saw the source of the cyclone in front of him and recognized it. Not only him, but even Lin Mu recognized it.

"It's her?!" Lin Wu said in an astonished tone.

The priest who had also been knocked but not as far as Shirong coughed out blood. He had been injured from the cyclone as well. He looked up with difficulty and saw the massive beast that stood up in front of him.

The beast was a large bird with a hooked beak and sharp talons. Its beak was silver and its feathers were yellow colored. But one could also see a faint red plumage appearing around its neck.
