You Playing with Me?
Mu Yu’s voice was quiet. He emerged from the rubble and strewn rocks. His clothing was torn; however, he didn’t have a single scratch on him. He tilted his chin up and simpered, casting a light of humiliation up at Shi Dengtian.
“What are you, a cockroach? What did you do?” questioned Shi Dengtian, unable to believe his eyes.
“Let’s do this again after you’ve had breakfast. I’ll wait.” Mu Yu performed shoulder circles.
Unleashing the sword spirit with an extra boost, Mu Yu finally realised the sword spirit packed as much of a punch as a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator’s strike. Prior to that, Nameless Swordsman’s restriction to protect Mu Yu prevented him from experiencing its true potential. Being able to plant the tremendous power into Mu Yu proved Nameless Swordsman had gone beyond Spirit Severing Realm.
Shi Dengtian scrutinised Mu Yu, then threatened, “I don’t know how you got your hands on a destiny skeleton sovereign pill, but you’re kidding yourself if you think hiding in your shell will save you.”
Shi Dengtian was erudite enough to know the weakness of destiny skeleton sovereign pill shielded its user’s body, but there was one place it didn’t protect – their dantian. He was fast and mighty enough to strike the spot and kill Mu Yu.
Shi Dengtian darted over and aimed a palm strike at Mu Yu’s dantian. He knew he was faster than Mu, therefore his grin.
“Stop!” shouted Daoist Yun Dan.
Shi Dengtian: I can’t stop now. He’s right in front of me. I won’t have another chance to kill him once they declare he’s been ranked on Ultimate Immortals Ranking, or Third Heaven Palace will punish me!
Shi Dengtian pressed on with his attack.
Elder Leng bolted over, but they were too far to make it in time.
Instead of evading, Mu Yu cloned himself five times and performed Celestial Swords Nine Summons Swordplay. The six then merged as one. Mu Yu imbued Shadow Splitter Sword with energy rivalling Shi Dengtian’s and deployed sword qi in a thrusting motion.
The size of Shi Dengtian’s eyes doubled as Mu Yu’s sword qi invaded his body. Shi Dengtian was able to neutralise it using his knowledge. Alas, the force blitzed him. Shi Dengtian slammed into the ground as if Mu Yu picked him up and slammed it through the ground.
Watching Shi Dengtian’s blood flit through the air rendered many aghast. Mu Yu defending thanks to destiny skeleton sovereign pill was understandable, but defeating Shi Dengtian… What?!
“Is he for freaking real?” muttered Elder Leng, body in motion frozen. He unknowingly pulled out bits of his beard. “He’s a bloody freak of nature!”
The effects of destiny skeleton sovereign wore off. Mu Yu shook his head. The sword spirit in his right arm was depleted, meaning he didn’t have a lifesaver up his sleeve anymore. He shifted his gaze to Daoist Yun Dan and company. If they wanted to capture him, he was powerless to resist.
Shi Dengtian crawled to his feet. Mu Yu definitely hurt him; he had barely recovered enough to stand. He had to get up if he didn’t want to be mocked – the humiliation was already enough as it was. He failed to avenge his nephew and had to forego it henceforward.
Nobody knew how to react. It was so quiet that gulps were loud and clear. Mu Yu saluted the elders. “Greetings Patriarch and Elders. Elder Shi wanted to give me some pointers, so I had to do my best. I apologise for my laughable performance.”
“Who’s laughing? You playing with me?” was the response everyone held on to.
