Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2448 A Crushing Aura And Restraining Traitors

The trio watched the suspects who were still unaware of what was about to happen.

Over a hundred thousand soldiers watched as the three immortals in front of them suddenly moved.

~SHUA~

The first to fly was Crown Prince Feng Shun as his targets were those at the back. Without a word, he spun his hand, creating a vortex that suddenly sucked up four soldiers in the third last row and then two more in the eight row.

With his mastery of wind, the Crown Prince didn't even need to think much before being able to use such a skill. Though this time he needed to focus more on control and restraint instead of using pure power. If his intention were to just kill them, it could have been done with the light flick of his sleeve.

But instead he needed to make sure that they were caught without being able to realize it and then stay restrained so that they didn't try something like killing themselves.

Commander Dui moved almost at the same time as Crown Prince Feng Shun, but his targets were a bit spread out. ~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

The man drew out a long sword and slashed out thrice, sending sword imprints that were swift.

"AHHHHHHH!" the sword slashes reached their targets rather in the blink of an eye, cutting off their legs. Next he threw out what looked like ropes that were braided with beast fur.

~WHOOSH~

The ropes automatically wrapped around the suspects from the top to bottom, making them look like mummies.

"What's happening!?" The soldiers around them were left absolutely shocked and confused.

All had been going well, and they thought they had only been assembled to meet the new Imperial Imperator. They never through it was going to be a deadly event instead.

They wondered what they should do and some thought of running. But their training kicked in and made them realize that this shouldn't be happening without a solid reason.

At the very least they didn't think their Crown Prince would be acting without a care.

The same was the case for Commander Dui who was their superior and had also trained them.

But the only person they didn't know about was the Imperial Imperator. Until before they hadn't even felt his Qi and it made him seem to have no cultivation.

~HUALA~

And now that it was released, they almost wished that it was restrained again.

"What… in the name… of Heavens…" An aura greater than anything they had ever experienced before was felt.

~THUD~THUD~THUD~THUD~

Half the soldiers with weaker cultivation bases couldn't even withstand and and fell to their knees while the rest were having a hard time standing. Within seconds, their breaths became unstable and their Qi became heavy to flow.

~KACHA~

"ARGH!" But the one that was most affected amongst them was none other than their Second Lieutenant.

Cracks formed under his feet as he sank in all the way to his knees.

A weight heavier than anything was being levied onto him. "Second Lieutenant!" The other three lieutenants were stunned seeing this and almost moved on instinct.

"Stay still." Lin Mu said, his voice firm.

To the others though, it felt like an absolute command, and their bodies turned stiff as if frozen in the chill of arctic.

~STEP~STEP~STEP~

Lin Mu walked up to the Second Lieutenant, who was sinking into the ground with every passing moment and observed him.

He held the man there without even touching him until Crown Prince Feng Shun and Commander Dui were finished with their arrests.

"We got them all." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke as he brought spheres that was restrained soldiers onto the ground.

The sphere was made out of winds that were constantly moving and kept on tossing the suspects within it, giving them no chance to act.

~THUD~THUD~THUD~

Commander Dui dragged the tied up suspects and left them on the ground nearby. He then looked at his lieutenant, that had sunk into the ground all the way up to his waist.

"Do you want me to tie him?" Commander Dui asked.

"No worries, I was just waiting for you all to be done, just in case it would affect the area too much." Lin Mu replied before extending his hand. "Meld." He uttered before making a raising gesture.

~SHUA~

The second lieutenant, who seemed to have felt like he had been getting crushed, suddenly found all the weight disappearing from his body. But what replaced it was a restraint that he couldn't even begin to describe.

It felt as if his flesh had been frozen without it feeling cold.

He was also floating in the air, without a single hint of Qi around him.

'What is this technique?!' He could only say in his mind, unable to speak or move his lips.

It was almost as if he had been petrified or encased in an invisible container.

Commander Dui was also wondering what kind of technique Lin Mu was using, unable to place his finger on it. Only Crown Prince Feng Shun knew this was just one of Lin Mu's spatial skills and one that was very strong too.

He had once asked Lin Mu to try it on him, wishing to see how he would fare against something like this.

And it was safe to say, once the skill was used and he was caught in it, moving was almost impossible. He had to burn a lot of Qi to be able to oppose it, and that came at the cost of damage to his body too.

But even if he knew the skill was being used, he wouldn't have much chance to react as it was almost instantaneous and there were little to no signs of it activating.

The space would simply turn solid, leaving one helpless.

And depending on how it was used, it could even cause someone to dismember themselves since they wouldn't know a part of their body was frozen.

They would either be in motion or would move while attacking, while their leg or arm was being held in place by Meld.

Due to the force they applied, they would simply tear their limbs off. If they were lucky, they might only lose a part of their limb, such as the palm or the foot. But if they were unlucky and Lin Mu had restrained the entire limb, it would be torn apart.

There were of course, some that had stronger bodies and they wouldn't be torn so easily. But it would still cause them internal injuries as their Qi flow would be affected.

Lin Mu had accidentally learned of this application when he was in the Bridge Plane.

He had missed the location of Meld by a bit and ended up trapping the leg instead of the whole body of a Chimeric Beast that was attacking someone else. With the mass and momentum of the Chimeric Beast, its entire limb got ripped out by Meld along with a lot of blood.

Lin Mu took notice of this and reckoned he could use this as a method to use someone's speed and strength against them. But it was not an easy thing and he had to be very swift in using the skill along with precision.

It had to be used concisely when the enemy was unaware or was in the middle of motion. That was when it caused the most damage.

Of course, when he used it on the entire body, the effect was even strong and opposing it was not easy. The only way someone could do that was to either overpower it with sheer Qi or simply outlast Lin Mu's Qi stores.

Both of which were very difficult to do.

Crown Prince Feng Shun had managed to do it, but it was also very difficult and needed careful control of his Qi to prevent damaging himself.

Now that he saw Lin Mu use it again, he could see a significant improvement in it.

~SHUA~

But that was only the start as Lin Mu expanded the influence of Meld to the other suspects too, keeping them restrained.

'How did he improve so much compared to then?' Crown Prince Feng Shun couldn't help but wonder.

After all, to him Lin Mu had been unconscious all this time and they didn't know of his time in the Astral Dimension or the training in the Sleepscape.

Even if he had absorbed a lot of Qi when he awakened due to the Omnicore Ascendancy, that still didn't mean he would improve so much on the application of a skill. Not to mention, what he had absorbed was elemental Qi and had nothing to do with Spatial Skills.

"Where do we take them?" Lin Mu asked the Crown Prince, the ten suspects now floating before him.

"To the Discipline Hall of course." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "We'll interrogate them there." "Interrogate? For what?" The three standing lieutenants finally asked, unable to comprehend what had happened.
