Wandong's creepy smile accelerated Jin Mu's heartbeat. Then he abruptly disappeared in Jin Mu's sight while the latter was being overwhelmed by a sense of bizarreness.
"What?" Jin Mu exclaimed, almost freaking out. He was getting exceedingly flustered. Young as he was, he had been around. But it was the very first time in his life that he had been under such an eerie circumstance.
Hardly had Jin Mu's shout come out completely, Wandong popped up abruptly one foot away on his left side literally like a phantom. His right leg whipped forth with formidable momentum.
"That is impossible!" Jin Mu barely managed to verbalize his panic. He didn't get around to make a reaction, let alone fend Wandong off. Then he was kicked right in his belly.
It felt no different from being struck by an iron bar. He was soon inundated with a splitting pain generated by the kick. It was insufferably painful that Jin Mu let out waves of shrill cries in spite of himself. And the inertia carried his body backward like a darting football.
Albeit slow as you may find it in a written version, the whole process was actually as fleeting as a lightning. Not to mention Jin Mu, it even took a while for Leng Yuecui to follow up with it. Jin Mu, who was previously fighting in a threatening manner, got kicked up by Wandong in the blink of an eye. It was so incredible that Leng Yuecui couldn't come to the terms with it. She even assumed the duel had been rehearsed before, otherwise, Jin Mu couldn't have plunged himself to Wnadong's leg coincidentally. The agile duel went and ended at one stretch － an impressively good job indeed.
Wandong didn't allow Leng Yuecui to catch up on figuring it out. The second Jin Mu darted backward, he plunged himself toward Jin accordingly. With three strides in the air, he closed in on Jin Mu. Then he made an incredibly accurate grab at Jin Mu's pulse swiftly with his right hand.
As both landed, Jin Mu was hanging in Wandong's hand, limp and pale.
"Is...Is that all done?" Leng Yuecui asked, utterly blanked out.
She took pains to defeat Jin Mu. In contrast, Jin Mu checkmated once and for all within one move in the duel with Wandong. It was unbelievably bizarre in her eyes. She just couldn't come to the terms of it.
"I...I'm gonna fight till my death!" Jin Mu uttered a rampant cry. He seemed like an unyielding man. He didn't surrender when he was inundated with pain and his pulse was in Wandong's hand. He raised his other palm and punched at Wandong.
"Miserable diehard!" Wandong hummed and tightened his grab all of a sudden. A terrifying suction kicked in and absorbed Jin Mu's spiritual energy into Wandong's body like a black hole.
The other day, Wandong found that warriors' spiritual energy could help his Taoist energy increase at a high speed. Since then, he had been pondering over approaches to actively absorbing warriors' spiritual energy and transform it into Taoist energy. And Jin Mu happened to be a preferable subject to experiment with.
Jin Mu's spiritual energy, which took him ages to acquire, got all sucked up by Wandong in the blink of an eye before Jin Mu utilized it. He was terribly threatened, eyes wide open.
Jin Mu got panic-stricken on seeing most of his spiritual energy getting absorbed by Wandong. He glared at Wandong with fear and asked with a trembling voice, "You...You are taking in my spiritual energy?"
"A monster like you could only be a disaster to others with your spiritual energy. I'm actually helping you accumulating virtue by sucking it in, as you won't be able to do evil ever again!" Wandong responded emotionlessly.
"No...Please spare me! Spare me!" Jin Mu pleaded in an extremely distressed tone. Spiritual energy was as important as life to warriors. Jin Mu would get killed rather than witness his own hard-won spiritual energy be sucked up by Wandong.
Jin Mu, an overbearing character, became submissive all of a sudden. He pleaded so hard that he almost burst into tears.
