Chapter 91 Shattered Mountains and Rivers
Before they knew it, the two sides had fought dozens of rounds.
Lin Mu was unable to kill the Ice Wolf.
Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, the dire wolf knocked his spear away.
The wind-pierced spear bounced twice on the frozen soil before its tip sank deep into the pile of rocks.
Lin Mu unleashed his fist, and the situation instantly reversed.
The short-range power of the Mountain-Crushing Fist, combined with the force of the punch, slammed into the center of the first Ice Wolf's head.
The dark gold patterns shattered under the fist, and the entire head of the dire wolf was smashed into its chest cavity.
He sidestepped the attack of the second direwolf and used his dragon-binding hand to grab its foreleg joint.
The force of the punch exploded at his fingertips, crushing the bones of the entire wolf leg to dust.
The third direwolf unleashed its frost breath at him, and he no longer dodged.
With a backhand punch, the fist, wrapped in dark gold patterns, pierced through the white mist of the breath and slammed into the heart of the Ice Wolf.
The direwolf's massive body crashed to its side, its icy armor slamming into the frozen ground, sending shards of ice flying everywhere.
With the fourth and fifth wolves, he unleashed his full power in the face of the five dire wolves' onslaught.
Each punch landed precisely on the weakest point of the Ice Wolf's original imprint.
When all five dire wolves fell, he leaned on the gun barrel, panting heavily.
The white mist exhaled condensed into frost flowers under the moonlight, drifting all over my shoulders.
It's true that an inch longer means an inch stronger, but without mastering the spear technique, a long spear is not as powerful as a fist.
Maybe I should make a boxing glove.
Lin Mu returned to the city wall and immediately found the Ye family.
He first forged a knife for the Ye family using the original mark of the Ice Wolf.
During quenching, the chilling power of the Ice Wolf merges with the natural patterns on the bone material, resulting in a very thin and faint layer of frost-white patterns on the blade.
The air around the blade seemed to cool down as it left the quenching tank, and the guards all shrank back.
Lin Mu placed the knife on the chopping board and called it Frost.
When Ye Gang saw Ning Shuang, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Rough fingers traced the blade from its spine to its tip, then back from the tip to its spine, lingering for a long time along the frosty white veins.
In his mind, this was a demon god weapon with complete beast patterns, far superior to Quan Feng's short, fragmented pattern.
He tried to channel his inner energy into the blade, and a very thin layer of frost appeared on the edge, increasing the power by at least 30%.
The knife tip left a shallow white mark as it sliced across the cutting board, with fine ice crystals condensing around the edge of the mark, which slowly dissipated after a while.
Ye Huaijin leaned closer and reached out to touch the frost pattern on the back of the knife, but Ye Gang slapped his hand away.
Lin Mu looked at Ye Gang, who was practically drooling, and muttered something.
They've never eaten fine bran before.
He struck while the iron was hot, exchanging the materials for the gauntlets from Ye Gang in exchange for an agreement to forge another demon god weapon for the Ye family.
The bone material was a pair of complete bone segments cut from the leg bone of a great demon. Each piece was the size of a fist, and the bone was more than twice as dense as the scraps he used when forging the Wind Thorn.
The natural golden patterns inside the joints spiraled and overlapped, making it feel heavy in the hand, like holding a pair of petrified demon fists.
He was still using the Nine-Headed Serpent Mark.
The Nine-Headed Serpent is cold and lingering, yet resilient within its softness, fitting perfectly with the spiral patterns inside its joints.
As the hammer falls, the mark seeps into the bone along the direction of the bone grain, and the bone fragments gradually solidify from bluish-gray to black gold under the hammer.
During quenching, the quenching liquid churns and swirls, and dark gold patterns wrap around the surface of the joints in layers. At the knuckles, the patterns suddenly tighten and twist into five extremely faint and stable golden spots.
After the boxing gloves were forged, Lin Mu put them on and tried them out.
When the five fingers are bent, the dark gold patterns on the knuckles rise along the curve of the finger bones to the tip of the fist, and when the fist is clenched, five points of light light up on the fist surface at the same time.
He threw a punch into the air, and the force of the punch swept across the withered vines on the courtyard wall, causing them to shatter.
Lin Mu took off the boxing gloves, turned them over, looked at them in the morning light for a moment, and gave them a flashy name.
Shattered mountains and rivers.
......
The following day at noon, unusual activity was reported again from the direction of the Eternal Night Forest.
Dark clouds pressed down from the horizon, denser, lower, and heavier than last night.
Deep within the clouds, faint, dark golden patterns churned, as if something was peering down through the gaps in the clouds.
Wen Haoran stood in front of the battlements, his brows furrowed even more deeply.
He opened the bamboo slips.
Pure white light seeped from each ink character. He pushed the bamboo slip forward, and the light poured down silently.
As the light flowed across the moat, the bodies of low-level demonic beasts turned to ashes in patches within the light.
After the ashes were scattered by the wind, only four figures remained on the opposite bank of the moat.
The armored rhinoceros lowered its head, the dark gold patterns on the tip of its horn slowly flowing, and the lingering aura of righteous power on its bone armor was still emitting white smoke.
The direwolf's silvery-white fur was covered with a thin layer of frost, and its icy-blue pupils stared coldly toward the city wall.
Two rockets squatted on the pile of rocks, one on each side.
They are only half the height of a human, with slender limbs, hook-like claws, and extremely taut muscles in their hind legs, as if they might be launched out at any moment.
It has no bone armor or thick skin, only a very thin and faint golden pattern that runs from the back of its neck to its heels, shimmering faintly under its fur.
Lin Mu tightened the belt of Shattered Mountains and Rivers around his wrist.
The bone-forged gauntlets gleamed with a deep, dark gold luster under the midday sun. The knuckles were slightly raised, and when the fist was clenched, dark gold patterns rose along the curve of the knuckles to the knuckles.
Lin Mu jumped down from the city gate, stood with his hands clasped behind his back, and saw that Quan Feng had also come. He threw the useless chaff to him.
"Ironclad Rhinoceros and Ice Wolf are yours."
Quan Feng twirled the swallow between his fingers like a knife.
"What about the two monkeys?"
"I'll do it."
He drew his fist, threw a horizontal punch, and aimed it at the two rockets leaping into the sky on the pile of rocks.
Quan Feng had already met the Ironclad Rhinoceros head-on. Yan Zifeng slashed a string of sparks between the horn and the bone armor. The Frosty Breath of the Ice Wolf surged from the side. He dodged to the side and slashed at the Ice Wolf's foreleg armpit with his short sword.
Lin Mu walked towards the pile of rocks.
The two rockets started moving at the same time.
With a push of their hind legs off the rocks, they launched themselves forward like projectiles, more than twice as fast as the direwolves.
Lin Mu didn't even see their movement trajectory clearly; he only heard two extremely sharp sonic booms explode in the air.
A dark shadow swept past from the left, its claws tearing a bloody gash in his shoulder.
Another attack came from behind, the claws grazing his lower back, tearing a gash in his air membrane.
Lin Mu dodged the third claw by sidestepping and pushed his Wind Step to its limit, but the Skyrocket was just too fast.
They propelled themselves forward on the pile of rocks, each step precisely landing in a blind spot in his field of vision.
As the stone chips exploded beneath their feet, they were already bounced in another direction.
The guards on the city wall were dazzled, only seeing two dark figures bouncing back and forth on the pile of rocks, and Lin Mu's fists could never catch up with their trajectory.
Wen Haoran watched the battle in front of the city gate and gave instructions to the guards.
"If they are in danger, rescue them immediately."
