Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Scuffle with an Ascension Realm Cultivator

“Mu Yu, take me to Ocean Fiend King. As long as we are within sight of each other, he will be able to sense his blood, and I will be able to wake him,” urged Lu Xiong.

“All right,” replied Mu Yu, sure that Ghost Gate’s group wouldn’t give up and leave the island so easily.

Besides Long Yeli and E Wenmao, who got lost, the other fiends were already dead one way or another. Mu Yu returned to the eighty-first floor to pick up Qiao Xue. He also found a Spirit Severing Realm member of Ghost Gate, who was running around randomly, and ended the member. Besides those who escaped, the death qi killed the rest. Though the number of fiends Mu Yu rounded up outnumbered Ghost Gate’s survivors, Gui Yuzi would not even break a sweat knocking their socks off.

Although Qiao Xue argued with Mu Yu over risking his life to fight Ghost Gate’s team, citing the pagoda being the only safe haven for them, he argued it would only continue the stalemate. Their only hope of turning the tide was relying on Lu Xiong to awaken Ocean Fiend King, helping the latter escape Gui Yuzi’s grasp to combat Gui Yeming. They could not conveniently free the fiend king from inside the pagoda for the pagoda segregated them from anything exterior.

“Still alive as I thought you’d be,” remarked Gui Yuzi, seeing Mu Yu step out from the pagoda.

“Right back at you. Escaping the death qi was pretty exhilarating, huh?” Mu Yu fronted.

“So, are you going to take us to Walk-in Heart Genesis, or am I going to have to make you?”

“There’s one more thing we have to do before we fetch it.”

“You mean leaving the island? We already have a solution to get out.”

“Nah,” Mu Yu relied, wagging a hand. “I was referring to you returning the body you stole.”

Lu Xiong, dashing forward from behind Mu Yu, bit his thumb to draw Ocean Fiend King’s heptagon symbol in the air. His body started to shine white, while his veins started to protrude, power level rising rapidly.

“You think a Body Synthesis Realm can defeat m-?” Feeling the disturbance within him, Gui Yuzi ordered, “Gui Yeming, kill that fiend now!”

Gui Yuzi shielded himself in red mist in hopes of cutting off Lu Xiong’s link to no avail.

“Mu Yu, don’t let them disrupt me!” Lu Xiong instructed though his teeth.

“You all heard him. Buy him some time, but don’t just fight with reckless abandon!”

With a flick of his arm, Gui Yeming sent Mu Yu, E Wenmao, Long Yeli and Qiao Xue packing.

“I’ll take Gui Yeming. Everyone else on Gui Bao and Gui Ximing,” commanded Mu Yu.

“But y-”

Mu Yu took off before Qiao Xue could go to his aid, not that she had her hands free since she was dodging Gui Ximing’s chains.

“Elder Lu, you better step on it,” Mu Yu pestered.

The best news they had was that Lu Xiong’s activity also stalled Gui Yuzi. The bad news was that Gui Yeming disregarded Mu Yu to target Lu Xiong. Mu Yu expanded the radius of Contiguous Horizon Formation so that it would also work on Lu Xiong, thwarting Gui Yeming’s claw strike aimed at Lu Xiong.

“Impressive formation.” Gui Yeming pulled back and, finally, turned to Mu Yu. “You’re going to try and stop me alone?”

Damn, if only my death qi didn’t do so much damage. I don’t think I can stop many of Gui Yeming’s attacks with these weakened formations, inwardly noted Mu Yu. He aimed Shadow Splitter sword at Gui Yeming’s face, declaring, “I’ll stop at least you.”

“Hmph.”

Gui Yeming zipped behind Mu Yu, then uncoiled his strike.

“Sheesh, he’s fast!” Mu Yu directed Gui Yeming’s attack into Spirit Void, cancelling it out.

“That domain ability, huh? You must’ve been the one tampering with the pagoda, then. It seems you haven’t gained full authority over the domain to completely suppress my cultivation.”

Damn it. Both of us have regressed a realm, but he’s still stronger than me, Mu Yu inwardly cursed, watching Gui Yeming strut forward.

Since Xiaoshuai and the dragon vine weren’t much help with their powers also supressed in Spirit Void, the duo jumped out to go assist Qiao Xue, whom they could work best with to maximise their abilities.

Mu Yu fired Shadow Splitter Sword from his void…
