Chapter 327: Mùkū Appears
Whoosh, whoosh!
Deep green energy surged from the forest below, filling half the sky as if ready to ignite heaven and earth itself. At the center of this immense power stood a tall figure in green robes—Lin Langtian—his cold, piercing gaze fixed directly on Qin Lang, whose towering Wood Spirit form loomed in the distance.
Though this wasn't Lin Langtian's first time using the Triple Layered Emperor Wood Technique, he could still feel the energy from the surrounding trees converging around him, enhancing his power.
He sensed his strength rapidly intensifying, pushing him to the Eight Yuan Nirvana stage. Stretching his hand out, he clenched his fist, a slight smile playing on his face. Thanks to the Emperor Wood Technique, he had broken into the next level.
Boom!
In the next moment, blazing red flames surged high into the sky. The scorched earth below cracked open and turned red-hot under the terrifying pressure.
"Flame Emperor Technique!" Lin Langtian's voice rang out sharply as his hands formed a series of rapid seals. Raising his hand, he summoned the searing flames above him, condensing them into a massive fire spear almost a hundred feet long. Flames licked the spear's surface, distorting the surrounding air with waves of destructive energy.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Langtian's cold eyes turned even sharper. He raised the fire spear high, a weapon of destruction poised to strike. His combined mastery of the Flame Emperor Technique and the Emperor Wood Technique, along with his newfound strength, now made him appear like an unstoppable force.
With a forceful stab, the searing red flames surrounding him condensed into a massive, radiant tail of fire behind the spear.
"Flame Emperor Technique: The World-Slaying Spear!"
With a roar, Lin Langtian's muscles tensed as he hurled the spear forward. The entire sky seemed to tremble, and the enormous fiery spear shot forward like a blazing meteor, trailing a tail of fire that resembled a raging dragon, roaring toward Qin Lang's colossal Wood Spirit.
Hiss!
When the spear and the Wood Spirit collided, there was no resounding clash, only a searing silence as the opposing energies consumed each other, like fire meeting water.
Qin Lang's expression grew grim as he watched the intense energy clash above. Never had he expected that he, a Wood Division Spirit General, one of Yuan Gate's finest disciples, would struggle against a newcomer to the sect.
Moments later, Lin Langtian's hands flashed through more seals. The World-Slaying Spear began to spin at an astonishing rate, unleashing waves of intense flame that sprayed from its tip like a colossal firestorm. Under the intense heat, the massive Wood Spirit let out an almost human scream, showing cracks as it struggled against the assault.
"Not good!" Qin Lang felt a wave of panic. As he rushed to restore his Wood Spirit, a deafening explosion erupted across the sky.
Boom!
The Wood Spirit finally buckled, shattering under the relentless fire and force of the World-Slaying Spear. But the spear itself did not dissipate—it spread outward in a massive ring of flame, casting a powerful shockwave that rocked the landscape below. In the midst of it all, Qin Lang's wood-elemental energy flickered and died.
Crash!
With a harsh, reverberating sound, Qin Lang spat blood, his face ashen. He plummeted toward the ground like a broken-winged bird.
Coldly determined, Lin Langtian beat his bone wings and rocketed forward, blocking Qin Lang's path. When Qin Lang looked up, his face was marked by terror as he met Lin Langtian's ruthless gaze.
The realization hit Qin Lang hard—Lin Langtian intended to kill him, a Spirit General of the Wood Division. He had gravely underestimated his opponent's resolve.
Seeing the fear in Qin Lang's face, Lin Langtian smiled icily. He was not one to show mercy. Since this was clearly a setup between Qin Lang and Mùkū, leaving the matter unsettled would be unwise. Back at Yuan Gate, such an opportunity to eliminate a peer wouldn't arise again, especially with Qin Lang's high status.
The perfect cover story lay with the Shadow Seven, Qin Lang's own tool turned against him.
Resolved to kill Qin Lang here and now, Lin Langtian's hand erupted in flames as he aimed a deadly strike toward Qin Lang's head.
"Stop, boy! You dare?!"
Just as he was about to land the fatal blow, a powerful voice rang out from the sky. Suddenly, an overwhelming force held Lin Langtian's hand midair, preventing the strike. Lin Langtian looked up in shock, and his gaze fell upon a familiar figure that had appeared before him.
Mùkū, the Deputy Head of the Wood Division, had arrived.
