Lin Pingzhi was certain that his strike against Mu Gaofeng would land; he could already see Mu Gaofeng lying dead on the spot. But suddenly, an external force pulled him off-center, causing his blade to strike the ground instead, where it continued to vibrate violently.
Disappointed that his attack had missed, Lin Pingzhi looked up to see Murong Fu, who had used his "Dragon-Capturing Hand" to yank him aside. Mu Gaofeng was now scurrying on all fours, his hands and feet moving with such speed that it surpassed even the running pace of a man standing upright. Panic gripped Lin Pingzhi.
Suddenly, Murong Fu flicked his finger, firing a bolt of the Six Meridians Divine Sword that struck Mu Gaofeng’s hunched back, causing a spray of dark green liquid to erupt. As the fluid hit him, Mu Gaofeng abruptly froze, followed by a piercing scream. Lin Pingzhi’s eyes widened as he saw the green liquid sizzling on Mu Gaofeng’s skin, accompanied by wisps of black smoke; large patches of his clothing and flesh were simply melting away. Only then did Lin Pingzhi realize that his master had saved him; otherwise, even if he had achieved his revenge today, he would likely have been severely wounded.
