Death Qi Rampage

“What do you think I did?” Mu Yu turned back to curtly ask.

“Gui Yeming, watch him.”

Somewhere in the darkness, Gui Yuzi questioned, “Where did this come from?”

“I don’t know!”

“It can’t possibly be in this prison. What happened?” Gui Yuzi exclaimed.

“Zi Yuan! Zi Er accidentally stepped into Zi Yuan’s corpse water and then… then was devoured!”

“Get us out of here! We have no resistance to it!”

“Hey, the formation is corroding. We can escape now.”

Zi Yuan? Mu Yu repeated in his mind, thinking, I killed that bugger using death qi… Wait a second. They must be talking ab-

“It’s death qi!” belted Gui Yuzi, racing back. “We need to get out of here now!”

I thought I cleaned up properly, mused Mu Yu.

“We can leave now, hahaha,” cheered a lunar god, seeing the death qi devour their cages.

“Let’s go annihilate Third Heaven!”

Of course, the death qi devoured some lunar gods that were too slow to escape in time.

“Ghost slaves, open the exit!”

Gui Yuzi dragged Mu Yu along to the exit and removed the barrier he erected on it that would’ve destroyed the exit every time it was restored. Alas, it would be another hour before the exit would appear again since the last time it appeared.

“Gui Yuzi, why do you look so annoyed and bitter when your beloved lunar race has escaped?” Mu Yu asked, wearing a grin.

“Be quiet if you don’t want me to kill you,” Gui Yuzi threatened, frustrated with the unexpected and undesired escape.

The monsters had no desire to waste their time on Mu Yu for nothing was more important than going on a murder spree outside. Therefore, they were enraged upon finding the exit missing. It was a riot with the monsters in the rear shoving and shouting, the ones at the front booming.

“What do we do now, Elder? This is not what we planned?” Gui Yeming squeezed his way through the crowd to inquire.

“Oh, so you wanted to use these freaks as instruments of murder. Sucks for your plan,” jibed Mu Yu, boldly assuming they hadn’t perfected their means of controlling the lunar race.

Less than a third of the monsters managed to escape the death qi, but that was still a behemoth number if one considered what one was capable of.

Mu Yu started to worry about the death qi that constantly spread faster, grew more intense and devoured its targets faster. If he could not contain it when it counted, Third Heaven would have been in peril.

With the death qi expanding to half of the prison, the lunar gods started panicking, plunging the paths into turmoil. Thanks to the commotion, they separated Mu Yu from Ghost Gate’s duo, affording him enough time to slip away as a branch.

Gui Yuzi tried to chase Mu Yu to no avail. Sure, he could blow away the monsters, but that’d incur the fury of all of them. Thinking he was ahead of the curve, he tried strangling Mu Yu using the Blood Soul Silk on Mu Yu, yet it did not work because Mu Yu was chewing on another peach he snagged from World Manifestation Samsara Seal.

Mu Yu zoomed back to Qiao Xue and removed her restraints. After she heard the briefing, she inquired, “What are we going to do, then?”

“I need to go over to the death qi to see if I can contain it.”

“I’ll go with you. No more alpha hero business!”

Rumble! The ceiling began to crack as the death qi leaked its way through the cracks, expanding until it devoured the ceiling to reveal the formation between the barriers. Mu Yu used Wood Spirit to scout the situation on the ceiling, finding the barrier separating the floors in the pagoda.

“Good god, it’s even decomposing the barrier! Those freaks are going to escape through the roof now!”

Indeed, the monsters raced toward the opened ceiling, and Mu Yu was too late to do anything about it.
