Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Zi Yuan

While Mu Yu and Zi Yuan were rearranging the mountain, Hua Die was in the heat of battle with the two fiends. Perhaps saying they were causing avalanches one after another would be a more apt description. She used her ghost qi to manifest two butterfly wings, flapping ghost qi ant the two and able to turn ghost qi into flying daggers. Because she had her twin with her, the two fiends weren’t at any numerical advantages. To Lu Xiong’s credit, he was fighting with a nagging injury.

There was no reason to mind the flesh-winged horny monster if it was only taking over Gui Han’s body. It would be an issue, though, if it intended to escape Fiend-Sealing Pagoda using Gui Han’s body as a medium. Equally dangerous was the ball Gui Han used to summon them from the prison. That ball needed to go. To that end, Mu Yu decided taking a detour back to the thirty-ninth floor to see what Ghost Gate did there to summon the monsters was compulsory.

“Ah, a human soul, it’s been a long time. Remember this kid: Zi Yuan here will be the one who killed you,” Zi Yuan announced, materialising a thin and long purple broadsword.

“Nah, you should just stay in your cage, and save our eyes the misery.”

Mu Yu triggered a formation on Shadow Splitter Sword and teleported behind Zi Yuan.

Clang! Mu Yu varied his targets as feints to target Zi Yuan’s weakness, the two horns at its chest. Unfortunately, the weakness wasn’t in sight for Zi Yuan was still in Gui Han’s form.

Despite Zi Yuan’s cultivation having regressed due to its time imprisoned, it was still able to keep up with Mu Yu’s pace when using Helian Kong’s soul item to boost his stats. Zi Yuan vanquished Xiaoshuai’s lightning and returned an even stronger swipe, cutting Xiaoshuai multiple times. Despite the dragon vine’s hail of dragon swords, it couldn’t even graze Zi Yuan.

“The rest of you should go back and recuperate. It’s not worth fighting in the tower since we can’t use our full power. I’ll finish this kid,” Zi Yuan told his allies.

“Exercise caution. There are risks involved with taking over bodies. We need the other ghost slaves to escape. We can’t help you once we leave,” reminded a red monster, eyes on Gui Die.

“Hmph, I don’t need your help!” responded Zi Yuan, driving back Mu Yu, Xiaoshuai and his dragon vine back in a single swing.

“Xiaoshuai, Lightning Blast!”

Mu Yu furtively emanated a formation, while Xiaoshuai took his position in the dome above. The dragon vine suppressed the lighting Xiaoshuai produced, passing it on to Shadow Splitter Sword.  Seeing the lightning explosion Mu Yu swung at it, Zi Yuan performed a series of swings, erecting a purple barrier that took the explosion without so much as a blemish.

“Is that all you got?” taunted Zi Yuan.

Xiaoshuai couldn’t explode another electric ball for Zi Yuan already closed the gap and clung closely to Mu Yu.

Zi Yuan, noticing Mu Yu was distracted, starting swinging aggressively and transforming right after to impale Mu Yu with a horn on its chest. Mu Yu returned to reality in time to parry the broadsword; however, he couldn’t stop the monster’s transformation. Even though Mu Yu teleported away, Zi Yuan exceeded expectations when it speared a bloody hole into Mu Yu’s shoulder when he emerged again.

“Mu Yu, keep your head in the game. You can worry about whatever else after we butcher this freak!” reprimanded Xiaoshuai.

“Now that my purple light venom has invaded your body, you should be my sacrifice, hahaha.”

“Ooh, scary,” mocked Mu Yu, discharging energy to expel the poison, black and white energy immediately absorbing the poisonous yin qi and healing his shoulder. “Better luck next time.”

“Who are you?! Lowly humans can’t possibly resist our poison!”

“That’s just what you think.”

“Let’s see you survive this!”

Mu Yu concentrated death qi to his right hand, also casting a formation on it, and life qi to his left hand. Seeing Mu Yu positioned his hands to catch its horn, Zi Yuan brayed, “You will pay for underestimating my divine horn and Lunar Gods’ fury!”

“At least look half-decent before you start spitting narcissism!”
