U-Shaped Swamp (Part 1)

“Jade Wyrm, you will never win the people’s support with your discriminative attitude even if you do come to power!” brayed the doctor, seeing no reason to hold back if his death was inevitable.

“People’s support? I don’t need that worthless junk. True blood dragon and cultivation are all that matters, ahahaha.”

“True dragon blood? Ancestor Green Dragon would never pass his throne onto your impure kind, then.”

“Impure? You must be unaware of the human brat Qiao Xue brought back’s secret. He has an evolved dragon vine with him. Absorb its blood, and I will become a true dragon!”

“Mu Yu has a dragon vine?”

“I’m just sharing the information with you as a farewell gift. Now, farewell!”

Jade Wyrm extended an arm at the doctor’s forehead. Aware that he was no match, the doctor shut his eyes and inwardly expressed, Ancestor Green Dragon is an evolved Dragon Vine. Mu Yu, do well to protect Lord True Dragon.

“They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I always disliked Long Xingyun, but you raise the bar.”

Jade Wyrm stopped himself, and the doctor’s eyes flew open. They spotted Mu Yu standing atop a reed, playing with another one in his hand.

Mu Yu hid the dragon vine inside a plant, while Xiaoshuai and he didn’t need to fear the yellow mist.

“Mu Yu, run! You’re no match for him!” urged the doctor.

“You’re the Mu Yu who killed my son?”

“That what Goody Ol’ Long Yeli tell you?”

“I will send you to him to apologise!”

“I thought you were just ruthless, but now you sound idiotic, too. I never killed your son. Do you actually believe Long Yeli?”

“You killed my son and blackmailed a dragon vine. I shall exorcise you and rescue Lord True Dragon!” threatened Jade Wyrm, cautiously inching closer to the swamp and then stopping at the edge.

Mu Yu clapped his hands. “I have nothing but praise for your ability to throw accusations with a straight face, but… you sure you can kill me?”

“Ruins mist might not affect you, but do you really think I can’t kill you just because you’re hiding in there?” Jade Wyrm condensed spiritual energy in his hand and blasted a white beam into the clouds, manifesting a wyrm. “That shall be your grave!”

Mu Yu concealed himself in the reeds as the wyrm slithered into the swamp. The wyrm blew a hole in the swamp, sending tremors throughout the area. As a product of the quake, the poison drifted toward Jade Wyrm, he quickly retreated.

“All those threats and you’re running? I thought you figured out how to counter the poison?” Mu Yu emerged again to mock.

“You going to hole up in there forever?!”

“Who said I’m hiding in here? Also, I never planned to hide here.”

“Mu Yu, stop! What are you doing?! He’ll kill you without batting an eye!” urged the doctor, watching Mu Yu leap at Jade Wyrm.

“Fool!” roared Jade Wyrm, blasting apart all of the reeds Mu Yu fired at him as arrows. To his shock, ruins poison burst from the reeds he destroyed. “You’re resorting to sneak attacks?”

“Look who’s talking.” Mu Yu teleported into the shrubs, re-emerging by the doctor and family of divine silkworms.

“Kill him!” commanded Jade Wyrm, confined inside a field of yellow mist – courtesy of Mu Yu.

Mu Yu fired reeds at the three Body Synthesis Realm fiends closing in, scaring the three off. “Too scared to destroy the reeds? I’ll lend you a hand.”

Mu Yu exploded the reeds, aiming the explosion so that the yellow mist would blow toward the trio.

Elder Tiantu and his wife reverted to their fiend forms, standing a towering ten metres tall to shield their children from the mist. Elder Tiantu pulled the doctor underneath him to protect the latter, the key to protecting their children. There was no need for them to fear, though, for the reason that Mu Yu had control over the direction that the mist travelled.

The three wyrms ran several metres away and checked themselves for infection. Jade Wyrm, therefore, snapped, “What are you three cowards afraid of when we know how to concoct the antidote? Kill Mu Yu, and bring back that family of divine silkworms.”

Ironically, Jade Wyrm was too scared to jump through the mist around him.

“You three are brave souls, huh?” jibed Mu Yu, waiting for the three who mustered every ounce of bravery to turn back.
