Chapter 2173 Door Gods And Rift
The next to work on the cage were Elder Hu and Min Ju.
Both of them had the same skill that they wished to use on the cage and it was something that worked better when two people cast it.
"Kang Secret Arts..." the two chanted in unison while Lin Mu listed on.
'This must be a signature technique of the Kang Clan.' He guessed listening to the skill.
He watched as Elder Hu and Min Ju made several hand gestures. First they made a circle in the air with their left hand and then tapped in the middle with their right.
Then extending to the right from the center, they extended a line which started to glow. The circle glowed too before they chanted again.
"Nineteenth Technique: Guardian Bound Ward!" They said while slamming the circles into the cage.
~HONG~
The circle imprinted onto the cage, with one line extended from its center. Both of the lines came from the right, but with the circles being in an opposite position, the lines curved along the side of the cage and joined with the other circle.
With this, a loop now connected the two circles.
~HUALA~
Mystical symbols appeared on the circles before they rose to form two figures. Both of these were humanoid figures, but looked a bit strange. They had solemn expression on their faces, but their eyes seem to be exuding a sharp fury.
They wore a coronet on their head, that tired their hair, while an armor covered their body. The armor looked to be rather ancient, with several scuffs and marks on them, as if they had gone trough hundreds of battles.
One of the figures held a lantern in its right hand, while a long baton in the other. The second figure held a crescent staff in his left, and a bundle of rope in the right.
The illusory figures looked to be different than what Lin Mu had ever seen before in a skill, but he was reminded of one instance where something similar had been witnessed.
'This is like the door god figure that Jing Luo manifested all those years ago in the fragmented plane.' Lin Mu recalled.
Doing something like this was not easy, and they probably had to withstand the full power of the Door God statues to obtain this skill.
This made Lin Mu wonder if this was a singular use skill.
'They probably need to recharge at the statues to use it again.' Lin Mu thought, realizing how precious it was to use such a skill.
It was something they might only be able to utilize one and they had chosen to use it here, as they needed to ensure the absolute safety of their lady.
"We're done." Elder Hu spoke, having finished his work.
"I'll be the next one then." Lin Mu said, looking at the cage and then at a specific location. "You all should move into the cage now, the rift won't be a forgiving one." He warned.
"Very well." Lady Kang and the rest replied before moving into the cage.
Qiao De, Ziran and Crown Princess Shang stood at the very back as they had little to nothing to do after this. Daoist Chu, Crown Prince Feng Shun and Monk Hushu stood in the middle, as they would be controlling the arrays and skills that they would be casting at the end.
Elder Hu and Min Ju stood after this, their positions in line with the position of the Door gods on the outside earlier.
Then the one to stand at the front was Lady Kang, as she would be the one to guide them. Lin Mu would be the last one to enter, as he needed to be the one to open the rift.
Everyone watched with curious eyes, wanting to see just how Lin Mu would be opening a rift. It wasn't everyday they got to see a Spatial Master at work, and the few times they had seen it before, they had found it to be a learning experience.
Spatial Skills were very complex and even learning a little bit about them could allow one to have an advantage. Not only would this advantage help in going against other Spatial Masters, it would even allow them to improve their own skills by adding the intricacies of the skill to it.
But when they finally saw Lin Mu do it, they were left surprise.
Lin Mu extended his right hand towards the barrier of the area and channeled his Immortal Qi into the ring.
"Open!" One of the ring's innate skills was activated, as a tiny dot appeared in the barrier. ~SHUA~
This dot then expanded in the blink of an eye and turned into a fifty meter wide rift!
"No chants? No runes? No gestures? Not even the movement of Immortal Qi..." The group was left confused. "Just like that?!?" Lin Mu didn't notice their reactions though as he was focused on checking whether the rift was stable or not. 'Looks good enough. Though the death aura is already approaching it.' Lin Mu noticed with his Spatial Perception. "We now have to be very quick!" Lin Mu said out loud before jumping into the cage.
"Time for us, Monk Hushu." Crown Prince Feng Shun finally made his move.
