Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens – Ch. 381

Phantom Eyes Winged Dark Tiger

“Uh, I was just kidding. You don’t have to take me serious.”

Mu Yu and the phantom eyes winged dark tiger locked eyes. If he couldn’t defeat a cat, against a tiger… to say the predicament looked grim was accurate. Its roar generated a shockwave that shook Hundred Beasts Formation and their sprit, blew the impending spikes back at the nine year spiky pigs’ allies, plunging the formation into disarray. The phantom eyes winged tiger kept howling and howling thereafter.

“Don’t panic! Crescent Moon Formation!”

The fiend beasts spread out again in a crescent moon formation and formed a barrier using their fiend spirits. Therefore, the phantom eyes winged tiger swooped in and physically attacked their barrier. The tiger was even faster than before with its astral wings, making its way to their rear in a flash.

“Smell Head Big Ants, Ultimate Power!”

With no time to dodge, Mu Yu used the small head bit ants as a shield whilst collecting all of his team’s power to the ant. The three cried out together, spawning a phantasmal tiger claw replica!

Rumble! Roiling qi sprayed upon collision. Hundred Beasts Formation crumbled as the fiend beasts fled helter-skelter or plummeted to the ground.

The phantom eyes winged dark tiger stared condescendingly at Mu Yu, who stood on the winged shadow condor’s back, and dove over. The phantom eyes winged dark tiger was markedly faster than the condor, outpacing it within moments. Mu Yu calmly watched the tiger swing down from above. Mu Yu dove toward the ground; however, the tiger scooped him up with its wing and thrashed him with its claw.

The instant Mu Yu’s bones broke, his black and white spiritual energy kicked in, healing him in record time. It came as a surprise even to him. But nonetheless, there was no time to worry about it. He gained his balance to catch onto the falling armoured beast and pulled himself onto its back.

The armoured beast extended its sharp tail and stabbed it into the ground as a brake. Mu Yu hopped off its back safely, but many of his fiend beasts incapable of flying bit the dust, literally, or were barely breathing.

The phantom eyes winged dark tiger swooped down after Mu Yu. He stepped out of its sharp wings’ range, only for its wings to shape shift, allowing it to change directions ridiculously and continue its relentless chase. Its sharp wing butchered an armoured bull that just got to its feet, deleting it from the game.

“Now, Blood Spirit Bird!” Mu Yu leapt up and commanded.

Sticky scarlet mist dispersed. The tiger was unable to blow away the sticky mist because it was the blood spirit bird’s blood converted to a gas. It wasn’t lethal, but it was effective at obstructing vision in a small radius. Its other function was to segregate the aura of the phantom eyes winged dark tiger and the blood spirit bird, thereby nullifying the former’s oppressive aura.

The moment the phantom eyes winged dark tiger escaped the scarlet mist, the sleepy wolves’ yellow qi tried to catch it. The phantom eyes winged dark tiger held its breath in. Nonetheless, its ears were still exposed. Five celestial voice sparrows stung its ears with their voices, generating a sensation akin to having its head clobbered with a hammer.

Celestial voice sparrows were mesmerising singers, but they also could’ve been menacing singers. When employing their voice as a weapon, it could incite a temporary blackout. Unsurprisingly, the closer they were to the target, the more pronounced the effect, therefore making it a perfect weapon to use when caught. The caveat was that it didn’t discriminate between ally and foe. Furthermore, it required time to channel. Against their swift foe, the sparrows were highly vulnerable. For those reasons, Mu Yu saved their ability as a backup plan.

The celestial voice sparrows were only able to knock the phantom eyes winged dark tiger unconscious for three seconds; however, that was enough time for Mu Yu to have the super-stinky ferret and soul-devouring wolf to knock the phantom eyes winged dark tiger out again, using a combination of sedative mist and stink. Having just returned from an unconscious state, the phantom eyes winged dark tiger instinctively breathed in the two.

As neither the super-stinky ferret or soul-devouring wolf could fly, the small hornet carried the through the air whilst shooting poison needles at the three eyes of the phantom eyes winged dark tiger.

The phantom eyes winged dark tiger’s three phantom eyes granted it unspeakable power. With that being said, the eyes themselves were fragile enough for a blade of grass to damage. Though it was said it only opened its three phantom eyes when it was serious in a fight, it also refrained from opening them due to their frailty.

The second the phantom eyes winged dark tiger regained its conscious, it blew its qi to shatter the poisonous needles. Alas, several needles managed to puncture its left eye. It rolled around on the ground in anguish. The loss of its left eye took its left wing, leading to it crashing back to the ground.

The phantom eyes winged dark tiger shut its two remaining phantom eyes to protect itself, removing its right wing and reducing its size. The phantom eyes dark cat was no longer as intimidating as it initially was with only one eye remaining. The effects of the ferret’s poison had worn off, but it had lost its speed.

Mu Yu jumped at the defenceless phantom eyes dark cat. It was unable to dodge despite its best effort, yet Mu Yu chose to pull back at the last moment.

“You can go. I don’t resent you or anything.” Mu Yu felt victory had been decided. Plus, the entire situation was an accident; he didn’t purposely sign up for the exam.

The phantom eyes dark cat gratefully bobbed its head and took off into the woods. Accordingly, Mu Yu was sent back to his body. Since he didn’t finish the phantom eyes dark cat, the formation tablet was still intact.

Mu Yu skedaddled from Advancement Hall. Thus, he didn’t see the formation tablet he touched crumble as he left too soon.
