I am grinding experience in another world Chapter 517 - 508 Restraint

At noon, when the sky was cloudless, the cold white sunlight bathed the entire Feng’an City.

The usually bustling streets were devoid of people, and the entire city lay eerily silent as if it were a terrifying ghost city.

Beneath the southern city wall, in a secluded courtyard overrun with weeds,

a group of seven or eight n tiptoed into the yard.

"Big brother, the City Lord Mansion said that the fox-faced scholar mostly roams outside the city. If we run out and happen to encounter him..." a short man voiced his hesitation with a full face of doubt.

"What? Having second thoughts?" The bearded man leading them gave the other a sidelong glance, "You don’t actually believe those ghost stories from the City Lord Mansion, do you?"

"I tell you, that fox-faced scholar is not just roaming outside the city; the whole Feng’an City is his hunting ground," the bearded man snorted with disdain.

"And that damn Three Paths Curse—if it really could bring safety, then how could old man Liu from Duo Fu Alley have his heart gouged out and die by that fox-faced scholar?"

"Chanting the Three Paths Curse is like lighting mugwort in the middle of a wilderness to ward off common insects; it can fend off the ordinary pests but cannot stop the fierce and poisonous ones."

"That fox-faced scholar simply detests the aura of Cursing thods, not that he can’t forcefully barge in," he scanned over his companions, "Staying in the city, we’d only be lambs waiting for the slaughter!"

"Do you really want to entrust your lives to the whim of that creature?"

All shook their heads in unison.

"If you’re not content, then you’re right," the bearded man nodded fiercely, "Rather than waiting to die in the city, better to follow and fight for that slim chance of survival outside."

Seeing that no one hesitated any longer, a smile spread across the bearded man’s face.

At last, he had fooled these few people. Without bringing so scapegoats, how could he dare to leave the city at ease?

While he was feeling smug, he looked up only to find that the people before him had turned around as if being chased by a fierce beast, and in a flash, they had scaled the courtyard wall and disappeared without a trace.

The bearded man was taken aback, then he seed to realize sothing, his whole body shuddering.

He lifted his foot intending to run, but found that he seed to be under a Binding Spell, his body frozen in place, unable to move a muscle.

The fox-faced scholar?!

The bearded man was horrified.

He imdiately opened his mouth to chant the Three Paths Curse aloud.

But the next mont.

Gurgle!

A bloodstained hand pierced through his chest, holding a pulsing, fresh red heart.

The bearded man’s body shook violently, his complexion turning to ash at an alarming rate, and in the blink of an eye, he dissipated into dust and vanished without a trace.

Li Wuyou retracted his hand, tilted his head slightly, his nostrils flaring. He examined the heart in his hand intently.

The next mont, he opened a mouth wide enough to swallow a human head and devoured the still-beating heart in one gulp.

...

Within the vast and wild expanse of the Netherworld, amidst desolate and wild ridges,

a water sphere, as large as a man, floated in the air, with Li Wuyou standing inside it, an eerie smile on his face, unmoving.

Not far away, Chen Mu stood with his left hand on his hip, panting heavily, while his right hand was spread open and held outstretched, remotely controlling the water sphere.

He did not dare to relax for a mont. He had discovered the restraining effect of the River of Oblivion Water on Li Wuyou as early as after killing the twenty-third Li Wuyou.

But as the number of tis he killed Li Wuyou increased, the opponent’s strength grew stronger, and the effect of the River of Oblivion Water gradually diminished.

By his estimate, this ti he could at most contain the opponent for a quarter of an hour.

"What kind of monster is this?" Chen Mu’s face was somber.

He had encountered several Strange Demons, but when it ca to being unpredictable and bizarre, none could compare to Li Wuyou before him.

"I have to recover quickly."

With a thought, a small wooden box about the height of a forearm appeared in the air before him.

Boom!

The wooden box burst open, and nurous Jade Dew Pearls scattered and floated around.

The black smoke flecked with silver threads rapidly enveloped him as the capturing and vital energy-collecting power within the Five Dragons Qi activated, instantly transforming the crystalline Jade Dew into floating powder.

At the sa ti, a rich flow of Vital Energy surged into his body, and the Yin Spirit Divine Power began to slowly regenerate and replenish, while the teetering water sphere of the River of Oblivion Water in the distance gradually stabilized.

"Not enough, nowhere near enough," Chen Mu frowned heavily.

The box of Jade Dew Pearls he had used up was the only inventory he had left, and the other Vitality Elixirs and food that could restore Vital Energy had also been depleted in the past five days of relentless struggle.

In at most fifteen minutes, Li Wuyou would break free from the water sphere, and the Divine Power restored by that box of Jade Dew Pearls would not be enough to sustain him in another fight.

"Calculation Scripture, oh Calculation Scripture, this ti you must be reliable."

With just a thought, the withered grass at his feet was neatly slashed at the roots and whizzed up in front of his eyes.

Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles sprang into action, like an invisible pair of skillful hands, deftly knotting and arranging the grass while various data erged in his mind.

"Fifty miles to the southeast, a Strange Demon lurks?"

Chen Mu’s heart leapt with joy, and he imdiately plucked more grass and tied knots to calculate again.

A mont later, he couldn’t help but reveal a smile, "Ten consecutive calculations, and seven tis they all pointed to the sa location."

"Heaven doesn’t seal off all paths!"

Glancing at Li Wuyou within the water sphere, Chen Mu took a deep breath, then poured most of the Yin Spirit Divine Power into maintaining the Netherworld Guide within the water sphere, while he himself exerted all his strength to activate the Yin Wind Escape and shot into the sky.

In less than fifteen minutes, the location forecasted by the Calculation Scripture was already in sight, that thick white mist could be clearly seen five or six miles away, a scene that only occurs where a Strange Demon dwells.

As if sensing Chen Mu’s approach, that massive mist that reached from earth to sky began to churn and roll rapidly.

Ao ao ao...

Accompanied by a rage-filled roar, a three-headed, six-ard monkey monster, over ten stories tall with vivid red muscles exposed, burst forth, its six huge blood-red eyes staring intently at Chen Mu.

The monster’s fierce aura hit him face-on, causing the hair on Chen Mu’s body to instinctively stand on end, yet he felt not fear but elation.

Five Dragons Dharma Aspect!

Boom!

Five terrifying dragon heads, each as tall as a three-story building, appeared out of nowhere and imdiately rushed towards the monkey Strange Demon.

Splat!

At the mont of impact, two of the demon’s arms and one of its heads were torn off by the dragon heads. Read the latest on .Côm

The Strange Demon scread loudly, as its four arms brutally pounded on the dragon heads, shattering two that appeared to be made of black glaze into a cloud of smoke that dissipated.

But in just the blink of an eye, the vanishing dragon heads re-ford, and with a series of soaring roars, they easily tore apart the monkey Strange Demon’s body, as if it were made of cast iron.

In just a few breaths, the vast Strange Demon, large as a hill, was torn and devoured by the Five Dragons Dharma Aspect.

Bang!

A muffled explosion sounded, the shockwave rolled out, and the white smoke scattered in all directions.

Chen Mu’s ragged clothes were blown outwards, fluttering noisily, while countless Netherworld Worms scattered in all directions like a flock of sheep breaking out of an enclosure.

Without dwelling on the regret of losing part of the Strange Demon’s body, Chen Mu imdiately initiated the Five Dragons Unification.

The five massive dragon heads imdiately disintegrated into gray-white smoke while black smoke suddenly surfaced around Chen Mu.

Hum!

An overwhelming Qi burst forth, spreading around him as an imnse amount of Vital Energy flooded into his body, the Yin Spirit Divine Power that was on the verge of depletion now surged forth incessantly.

By the ti the phantom of the River of Oblivion drew out by the Netherworld Worms appeared, Chen Mu’s Yin Spirit Divine Power had completely recovered, and the exhaustion and weakness from the five days of continuous fighting had vanished.

But before he could enjoy it for long, he felt a familiar sense of malicious gaze.

Chen Mu turned around expressionlessly, and sure enough, three miles away on the top of a small hill, the smiling Li Wuyou appeared again.

"Ghosts just can’t seem to stay away!" Chen Mu said coldly.

"But... why aren’t you attempting a close-range sneak attack this ti? How co..."

He looked at the slowly fading phantom of the River of Oblivion, then at Li Wuyou on the hilltop in the distance, and suddenly revealed a smile.

"So you’re afraid of the River of Oblivion, haha!"
