Chapter 2529 Closing Rifts
"Go! I'll handle this!"
With Childe Wildfire contributing greatly to the eight, a lot of the members were now free enough to attack the barrier.
"Alright!" about fifteen members of the group went to attack the Spatial Fold Barrier.
While their attacks appeared to do nothing to the barrier, according to Xukong's words they would eventually add up though it would probably take a while.
For now, everyone had to focus on their own side and kill as many Chimeric Beasts as they could.
~SHING~SHING~SHING~SHING~
Lin Mu sent out sword slash after sword slash, cutting apart the Chimeric beasts that stood in his path.
~WHOOSH~
And when they were gone, he moved to another location leaving a train of clouds in his wake!
Not a single attack could meet him, as he dodged them with ease, the Cloud Dragon Stride working well for him. It consumed less Qi than Blink thus it made it a lot more efficient for Lin Mu, not to mention the trail of clouds he left behind also helped confuse the enemies and block their sight.
Crown Prince Feng Shun who saw this couldn't help but be amazed.
"Daoist Lin Mu has really managed to improve this much." The Crown Prince muttered. "While I've only managed to grasp the mnemonic of the technique itself." He had read the skill too, but he had not learned it at all. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
A Spatial Rift was basically pulling apart on the spatial fabric, while the Spatial Folding Barrier was pulling it closer. These were opposing effects and as such, there would be a conflict between the two. And compared to the Spatial Folding Barrier, a Spatial Rift would be a lot weaker.
As such, Lin Mu only needed to target the structural weak points in the Spatial Fabric to force them to close up.
"There!" Lin Mu soon spotted one such segment at the edge of the Spatial Rift that seemed to be highly strained. Using the power of the ring, as well as its skill, Lin Mu extending his hand.
"MELD!" Directly grasping its edge, Lin Mu pushed on it. "Haaah!" The rift trembled as additional force was applied to it. This, along with the resistance from the Spatial Folding Barrier, was enough for it to yield and begin to close.
~SHAHA~
A few seconds later, it recoiled shut, releasing a wave of Spatial Energy that pushed Lin Mu back.
~HUALA~
The Longgui Bulwark Protected him from the impact, and as such he was unharmed, though fine cracks formed on some parts of the armor.
'I'll have to be careful closing the rest. The Spatial Energy fluctuations can tear apart flesh with ease.' Lin Mu understood. "Though at least we know this can work." He was pleased.
Having closed the nearest Spatial Rift, the inflow of the Chimeric Beasts reduced and his companions had more breathing ground. Not wasting a moment, he moved to the next Spatial Rift and began doing the same.
~SHAHA~~SHAHA~~SHAHA~~SHAHA~~SHAHA~
Rift after rift were closed as Lin Mu's efforts began to show fruit with the number of Chimeric Beasts decreasing by nearly thirty percent!
This allowed more people to attack the barrier and the chances of their survival increased as well.
