Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 568 - A Wild Man

Lin Mu had definitely not expected for there to be someone here. There were no signs of a human here, thus he estimated that this minor plane was fully isolated and only some herbivores were here along with plants.

But that spear that had just struck the ground in front of him had surprised him. Not just because it was so fast, but also because of the power contained in it. Lin Mu looked at the spear that looked like it was made from any common branch of a tree.

There were tens of carvings made into the spear all the way from the tip to the shaft’s base. Lin Mu was able to recognize several of the carvings and understood what they were.

"High grade spirit weapon? That too from a common wooden branch?" Lin Mu muttered in shock.

Whoever made this had managed to turn a common wood into a high grade spirit weapon with the inclusion of the carvings. Even though Lin Mu would not be hurt by the spear if it hit him directly due to the defense of his body and the Mortal Strengthening scripture, it would still knock him back several meters.

Lin Mu finally looked at the man who had thrown that spear and found him to be rather haggard. He was wearing old and tattered robes that were repaired and patched many times. It didn’t even look like the man had used a cloth to patch them and had instead used various leaves.

But the faint glimmer of the runes that he saw on those ’patches’ surprised him again. Even the torn and tattered robes of the man were a High Grade Spirit armor!

Looking at the appearance of the man, Lin Mu would have never expected him to have these capabilities. The man had long hair that was divided into multiple sections and tied with what looked like a hemp ribbon.

His beard was also very long and almost reached his waist. His arms were thicker than Lin Mu’s thighs and his legs were like that of an ox, strong and hardy. Overall, the man gave Lin Mu a wild barbaric vibe.

Lin Mu quickly tried to control his shock and got ready to defend against the man. He had not sensed the man’s cultivation base, but realized that he must be quite strong if he had a spear like this. When the man got closer though, Lin Mu could see three more wooden spears strapped to his back.

On the left of his waist, there was a stone axe with a wooden handle and on the right, there was a dagger that looked to be made out of some animal’s bone. All of them had runes and formations carved into them, showing that they were all high grade spirit weapons.

"Just who is this man?" Lin Mu couldn’t help but say.

~shing~

Waves of spirit Qi emanated from Lin Mu’s body as he fully revealed his cultivation base and the short sword came to float beside him. But that was not all, as the Iron Thorn Spear also appeared in his hand.

Lin Mu felt danger from the man in front of him and was ready to use all his capabilities. Tension rose to the peak as the man approached at a great speed. He leaped from the cliff and jumped from rock to rock.

He flew over a ravine as if it was nothing, which prompted Lin Mu to think that the man must be in the Nascent Soul realm. When he got closer to Lin Mu though, he noticed the Short sword and the Iron Thorn Spear that were with Lin Mu.

The man narrowed his eyes and spoke, "Who are you!?"

"I am Wu Lian." Lin Mu gave his fake name again.

~shua~

"LIES!" The Man shouted as a spear was thrown.

~DENG~

Lin Mu blocked the wooden spear with his short sword, which was also knocked quite a distance back. Lin Mu flicked his finger, forcibly controlling the Short sword and bringing it back. The man’s eye twitched upon seeing this, but he kept his demeanor.

"Tell me who you are! Last warning!" The Man declared.

"Maybe you should tell me who you are! You are the one who attacked first!" Lin Mu stated.

"Insolent!" The man shouted as he threw another spear.

This time though, Lin Mu was ready and attacked with his own spear.

Thousand Armament Blade Scripture!

~Shua~

The Iron Thorn Spear was activated for the first time as a black light was released from it. The seals that old Man Jing had put on it to hide its full potential were finally released.

~Zoom~

The black light released by the spear met the wooden spear and managed to stop it dead in its track.

~DENG~

The wooden spear was sent flying back and got stuck in the ravine wall behind. A large crack spread from where the spear stuck in the wall and crumbling rocks could be seen.

"So you do have some capabilities... being at the Peak stage of the Core condensation realm and managing to hold off against my casual attack." The man said before waving his hand.

~whoosh~

All the wooden spears that he had thrown flew back, returning to his side.

"Now let’s see how you take my serious attack!" The man said before withdrawing the Axe from his waist. The four wooden spears accompanied him to attack Lin Mu from all sides, and he himself lunged at Lin Mu directly.

~ROAR~

The man had missed one big thing when attacking Lin Mu though. Lin Mu was not alone.

~BOOM~

A fiery explosion knocked back all the wooden spears at once, as a red blur appeared at the side of the wild man.

~Growl~

Little Shrubby had received Lin Mu’s command at the very start, and had hidden when Lin Mu sensed the wooden spear coming at him first. He wanted to see what the danger was first before acting. Lin Mu asked Little Shrubby to hide for now and attack when the opportunity was right.
