In The Nick Of Time

Lin Mu's decision of going on ahead alone with Little Shrubby was the correct one. But even then, he was still a bit late.

By the time he arrived, most of the disciples were already killed and their remains were strewn across the ground. 

This incited anger within Lin Mu that even Little Shrubby could feel. The beast knew his master didn't get angry often, but when he did, it meant something truly bad had happened. And since his master was feeling angry, he too felt angry.

In his fury, Lin Mu directly jumped off Little Shrubby's back and blocked the strange beast that was about to kill the three disciples that were unable to dodge. 

"Foul beast!" Lin Mu said in anger as he blocked it. 

~GUOOOOO~

The beast growled at him in anger, but Lin Mu cared little for him. The beast continued to push forward, but Lin Mu was like a thick iron tower; immovable!
