Walker Of The Worlds-Chapter 1755 Wildfire’s Thoughts

Lin Mu and his companions quickly spread out, in search of the cultivators that were left.

One direction was taken by Ming Aolian, as she could cover the entire area due to her tamed beast.

"Ting! Sniff them out!" Ming Aolian quickly called her Sky Soar Wolf out.

The beast could fly and had a strong sense of smell, making her the best to find the cultivators out. They hadn't done this before since their goal before was to stay hidden and keep a low profile.

But now that it was time to exterminate all remaining survivors, Ting could be allowed to use her skills to the maximum.

~WHOOSH~

The wolf quickly flew away in search of cultivators.

"We'll head off too." Lu Xu spoke.

The second direction was taken by Lu Xu and Qian Wen, the two using their immortal sense to find the others. They might not have immortal sense that was as refined and wide ranged as Lin Mu, but combined they could still do decent work.

"I'll protect Sister Aolian." Ming Dandan stated.

Ming Dandan stayed behind with Ming Aolian, as her tamed beast wasn't exactly made for something like this. Plus her staying with Ming Aolian meant that both could be protected by the Mulch Crawl Eater beast.

It was better than them staying alone.

"Alright then, I'll take this direction and Childe Wildfire can take the last one." Lin Mu directed before looking at Childe Wildfire. "Is that fine with you?" he asked cordially.

"No issues." The man accepted before flying away.

The remaining two directions were taken up by Lin Mu and Childe Wildfire. Both of them had strong and refined Immortal senses, allowing them to cover large tracts of areas.

Lin Mu of course, had the best range and was quickly covering the designated as well.

And while this was happening, Childe Wildfire was having several thoughts. He had taken Lin Mu's orders in a stride, finding it strange for him.

'For me to take orders from someone else…' Childe Wildfire didn't know what to think of it.

He wasn't someone who would easily be convinced by others, nor was he someone who would take orders from others. There was a reason why the other cultivators were afraid of him and had taken his threat very seriously.

They had heard of several incidents that had happened due to the man and were wary of him. They knew if they didn't heed his orders, they would probably end up regretting it.

And yet… such a man was now following the orders of someone whom he had set out to hunt.

'Things are getting strange… no, the man is strange.' Childe Wildfire thought to himself.

He tried to recall if there was any information about Lin Mu that he had read about before.

"For someone like him, there should have been some information. With that cultivation base and that level of skills, he is bound to have some reputation. And yet… I can't remember hearing anything about him." Childe Wildfire muttered to himself.

And the more he thought, the more anxious he felt.

'First it was Dugu Shanhe, and now Daoist Mu Lin… This Tournament is bringing out hidden talents.' Childe Wildfire thought to himself.

His defeat at the hands of Dugu Shanhe was something he hadn't forgotten at all. It was something that had affected him deeply and he wanted to resolve it.

Childe Wildfire knew that he had to defeat the man or at least have a fight with him again. If he didn't do that, there was a great chance that it would come to haunt him later.

There was always a chance of him developing a heart demon or suffering a Qi Deviation.

He was especially sensitive too, since his Immortal Tribulation was near.

'I've been trying to suppress it all this time, but I don't know how long I would be able to hold it back.' Childe Wildfire thought to himself.

He wondered if his meeting with Lin Mu could be considered luck too. As without that, there was a certain probability of him increasing the chances of something going wrong during his Immortal Tribulation.

At the same time, he wished to keep his breakthrough somewhat secret.

'The increase in my cultivation base will be a significant advantage if the others do not find out.' Childe Wildfire thought to himself.

A few minutes passed like this before the man finally sensed something.

"Hiding like a rat, I see…" Childe Wildfire narrowed his eyes.

His immortal sense could see a single cultivator hidden underground. He was at a depth of about ten minutes, and yet no hole or opening could be seen nearby.

"You'll face a rat's end too." Childe Wildfire said before pointing with his index and middle finger.

~SHUA~

Sparks formed around them, which quickly turned into orange flames. The flames gathered into a small orb at his finger tips and increased in power. Strong Fire elemental immortal Qi fluctuation could be felt at that moment that quickly spread over the area.

~Tremble~

The cultivator that was seemingly hiding underground had sensed it too, and tried to run away. The soil bulged up, as a man appeared from within it.

"Heavens! Its Childe Wildfire!" The man was stunned as soon as he saw the person targeting him. "Dirt Swim Technique!" knowing not to waste any time, he dived into the ground again.

The dirt parted as if it were water, allowing him to enter easily. It even closed above his body, barely leaving a trace of his presence behind.

It was evident that the man was a cultivators that specialized in Earth Elemental movement skills. It offered him some level of protection since attacks wouldn't hit him directly due to the soil being between him and surface, but it didn't mean it was absolute.

~THIU~

The orange flame orb at the fingertips of Childe Wildfire reached its peak before shooting out a beam of energy. The energy was like a searing fire lance and pierced through the ground with ease.

'SHIT! SHIT!SHIT!' the cultivator inside the ground was panicking as he could feel the fiery energy behind him.

The sheer intensity of the Fire elemental immortal Qi was enough to let him know that he would be defeated the moment it came close to him. Thus, he pushed his body to the limits, trying to increase his speed as much as he could.

Childe Wildfire on the other hand, was uncaring. His initial strike had missed the mark, but the beam of fire was still ongoing. He simply moved his fingers and charged the direction of the fiery beam, searing a line across the ground.

Where ever the fiery beam struck, black scorch marks would be left around it for about a meter, while the central part would directly melt!

One could see from this that the Qi skill that Childe Wildfire was using was highly concentrated despite having a narrow area of effect.

Unfortunately for the running cultivator, it meant that he couldn't overcome it no matter how much he sped up. After all, he had to move his entire body, but Childe Wildfire merely had to shift his fingers.

"AHHHHHHHH!" the cultivator's body rapidly started to heat up even as the fiery beam was a meter away from it.

It had heated the ground up enough to turn the area around it scorching hot.

The pain caused the cultivator to lose his focus and he finally got hit by the beam directly.

~SHUA~

The man was at the Third Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm and was alone in the first place, thus he was quickly defeated. In the one second that the beam had made direct contact with him, deep scorch marks had been left on his body.

Thankfully, the formation array had been triggered and quickly transported the man out before he would be killed.

"Hmm…" Childe Wildfire stopped his Qi skill, having sensed that his target was gone. "One rat down, a few more to go." He muttered, having sensed faint immortal Qi fluctuations coming from the distance.

His use of Qi skill had made other's sense him and also alarmed them.

These cultivators could tell that such strong fire elemental immortal Qi would only be from one person in the Spatial plane, and that was Childe Wildfire. Thus, they used their full effort to run away. But this also ended up giving away their positions as the stray immortal Qi fluctuations from their bodies reached the sensory range of Childe Wildfire.

"Running away is not an option." Childe Wildfire said out loud before raising his hand.

At the same time, he flew towards the direction of the cultivators, readying his Qi skill.

~SHUA~

Orange flames gathered in his palm this time, turning into a large sphere that was about the size of a watermelon. Once it was ready, Childe Wildfire kept his momentum and threw out the fire sphere.

~Boom!~

The sphere soared into the sky, before exploding and raining down fire across the landscape!
