Chapter 351: With Interest
Zhang Mu felt very comfortable wrapped in the Blood Lotus, watching the King of Warhorses like watching a performance.
The ten wind blades, though flashy, were full of killing intent and had already approached to within two ters of the King of Warhorses in an instant.
However, the King of Warhorses remained relaxed, as if he had been waiting for the wind blades to form for a long ti.
As expected, when the wind blades approached within one ter of the King of Warhorses, they seed to be restrained as if sothing was holding them back, preventing them from advancing.
Around the King of Warhorses, large and small spatial cracks appeared, slowly widening with dark fissures, and a strong suction force directly grabbed the wind blades that had accelerated to their limit.
The wind blades tried to escape, but how could they escape when targeted? Even the areas near the spatial cracks darkened, indicating that even the light that ca close was unable to escape and was sucked in.
Even at the speed of light, the wind blades could not break free from the power of the spatial cracks. After struggling for a second against the suction force, they completely lost montum and were sucked into the corresponding spatial crack, disappearing without a trace.
It took a full two seconds for the spatial crack created by the King of Warhorses to slowly close.
Does this an that the spatial cracks within one ter of him are stronger and last longer?
Zhang Mu, who was hiding on the side, watched the powerful wind blade disappear without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
The Obsidian Beetle also seed stunned, unable to believe that its carefully prepared wind blade had been destroyed so easily.
However, the King of Warhorses also appeared to be struggling, no longer showing its earlier strength and now panting heavily.
It was also tired!
Its ntal strength and internal energy were almost completely depleted, and if another attack ca, it might not be able to handle it.
“I underestimated your two friends. In terms of the threat they pose to , they are even stronger than the four I previously thought were the strongest humans.”
Zhang Mu disdainfully asked, “What about ? How do I compare to them in strength?”
With a serious look, the King of Warhorses examined Zhang Mu. It had freed itself from the vines of the Blood Lotus prison and landed on the ground, waiting for the King of Warhorses’ answer.
“Based on the power you have revealed, you are not as strong as them. However, the sense of crisis you give far surpasses these two, although I am not sure where it cos from. You must have sothing up your sleeve.”
Zhang Mu gave a little smile and quietly watched as the King of Warhorses turned around.
Hachikuju stood up, picked up the huge axe she had dropped beside her, and realized that she had been controlled by the King of Warhorses just now, blushing with embarrassnt.
Suddenly rembering that Zhang Mu’s whereabouts were unknown, she looked around frantically, only to find Zhang Mu facing the King of Warhorses calmly. Rubbing his eyes vigorously, he wondered if he was still trapped in the King of Warhorses’ illusion. Zhang Mu, who had been unconscious just now, now appeared lively and energetic.
Hachikuju approached Zhang Mu cautiously with the giant axe in her hand, standing by his side with a nervous expression, staring at the King of Warhorses. Gripping the axe tightly, she was afraid that it might attack without warning. This was the closest she had ever been to the King of Warhorses, allowing her to feel its power more directly.
Zhang Mu patted Hachikuju on the shoulder and said, “Relax, buddy, the King of Warhorses ans no harm.”
“No harm? But what about you just now, Zhang Mu?” Hachikuju asked with a puzzled look, glancing between Zhang Mu and the King of Warhorses.
How could it have been harming Zhang Mu earlier, and now everything seed peaceful?
The King of Warhorses folded its wings back and returned to its original appearance, leisurely walking back to the shade of the tree where it rested quietly, no longer paying any attention to Zhang Mu and his friends.
Qizilbash and Obsidian Beetle also joined Zhang Mu and Hachikuju, and as Zhang Mu explained the situation, they all couldn’t help but laugh. It was all a false alarm.
“Brother, it turns out that this King of Warhorses wanted to fight. When you helped it, we thought you couldn’t do it anymore, so we hurried to catch up.”
Hachikuju was clearly a bit upset with Zhang Mu. Thinking back on what happened just now made him feel embarrassed. He kept making slashing movents in the air, feeling like he had lost all face.
Zhang Mu apologized repeatedly and helplessly smiled, “Bro, I really couldn’t help it at that ti. I couldn’t even move my tongue. This King of Warhorses wanted to fight with you, and I couldn’t stop it.”
Seeing King of Warhorses with its back to them, Hachikuju glared fiercely but didn’t dare to speak. He felt completely powerless when he was completely suppressed just now.
At this mont, Yuan Rui jumped down from the Obsidian Beetle’s back plate, without saying a word. She silently walked to Zhang Mu’s side and infused him with healing energy.
Zhang Mu held Yuan Rui’s wrist, wanting her to stop, and said with a smile, “Silly girl, I was just affected ntally, nothing serious physically. You’ve depleted your ntal energy earlier, so why don’t you rest properly?”
Yuan Rui still didn’t speak, stubbornly continued to infuse healing energy into Zhang Mu’s body. Warm currents slowly flowed into Zhang Mu’s body from Yuan Rui’s palm, repairing the injuries from before.
The second-rank healing energy was indeed dominant. Although Zhang Mu’s injuries weren’t severe, it imdiately restored his spirit to the fullest.
“Alright, alright, everything is all better now. Any more would just be a waste.”
Zhang Mu gently touched Yuan Rui’s head, and she sensed that he was feeling better. She then withdrew her hand, but Zhang Mu kept it wrapped around her, stroking her head.
“Ahem, please be mindful of your actions.”
Hachikuju coughed a few tis, clearly disapproving of displaying affection in front of a grumpy old man.
Just then, Qizilbash approached with a guilty expression and said slowly, “Old Ha, Brother Zhang Mu, I didn’t really help much earlier. After seeing you looking unwell inside, I stayed outside the mist realm. Please take back the reward, Brother Zhang Mu, for I am unworthy.”
After speaking, Qizilbash handed over an Era Card containing five thousand elental crystals.
Without saying a word, Zhang Mu accepted the card. He knew that not accepting it would make the straightforward man uneasy in the dorm. Zhang Mu smiled and said, “I’ll take back these elental crystals. City Lord Qizilbash, you need not worry. You are a physical evolver, and even if you entered, it wouldn’t have made a difference.”
Seeing that Zhang Mu did not bla him, Qizilbash breathed a sigh of relief when Zhang Mu took the Era Card. However, he suddenly rembered sothing and gritted his teeth, saying, “Su Rui and Huang Yan left when things turned sour.”
“They fled? No wonder I didn’t see those two. A Sub City Lord behaving like that is truly shaful. Brother Zhang Mu, co with . I’ll teach them a lesson and help you get back your elental crystals.”
Zhang Mu chuckled coldly and said slowly, “There’s no need to teach them a lesson. It wouldn’t be good for your match with Brother Hachikuju. But my elental crystals, they’re not easy for anyone to take.”
“I want them to spit out everything they owe, including the interest.”
