Xiang Ma
Mu Yu’s legs shifted backwards before he realised it. Keeping his unfriendly gaze on Mu Yu, Xiang Ma warmed up his neck. Every time he moved, his bones cracked. “Affronting my dignity is punishable by death!”
Xiang Ma swung down at Mu Yu’s trees, generating a shockwave that would’ve blitzed Mu Yu had he not jumped behind a tree in time. Xiang Ma reduced the spot Mu Yu stood a second ago to fragments in the singly swing, but the trees grew again just as they did before.
Mu Yu sent the tree branches after Xiang Ma; however, Xiang Ma had his technical down pact unlike the mindless yin corpses.
“Raging Axe Blitzes the Heavens!” Xiang Ma enlarged his axe and clothed it in his green energy. The air and spiritual qi rumbled as he sliced through the air.
“You two yin corpses, go!” Mu Yu sent two Spirit Severing Realm yin corpses to intercept the swing.
“You think my yin corpses can stop me?!”
It was a single swing, yet countless afterimages of the swing were visible. The two yin corpses fearlessly intercepted the swing with their fists. Boom! The residue of the impact tore the nearby yin corpses. The two Spirit Severing Realm yin corpses hit the floor as parts of their former self, heads rolling away. The tree branches stuck them back together and imbued them with black qi again. They groaned, but it had no impact on their recovery; it even bolstered their power further!
They seem to like Wood Spirit Sword’s death qi, noted Mu Yu.
Mu Yu ordered the two yin corpses to attack again. They still weren’t able to withstand Xiang Ma’s might. To Xiang Ma’s surprise, though, he failed to sunder them. The two quickly crawled back to their feet and resumed their assault.
As Mu Yu commanded the two yin corpses, he simultaneously tried to sneak up on Xiang Ma with a tree branch.
“I control the entire Yin Corpse Formation. My power knows no bounds. You think your trickery could catch me off guard? You plan to fight a war of attrition with me?”
“Keep yapping while you still can!”
Mu Yu wasn’t actually convinced they could determine a victor at that rate. Given the number of formation foundations used to sustain the formation, the Yin Corpse Formation could’ve been sustained for millenniums.
Mu Yu furtively used his black and white spiritual energy to quickly draw spiritual energy lines for a Mesmerising Sparrow Returns Formation on the ground in an obscure corner. At present, it was a gamble. The risk of missing against a Spirit Severing Realm enemy was high, and his Greater Heaven Stage formation foundations wouldn’t allow him to fire a sparrow many times.
Mu Yu set up Mesmerising Sparrow Returns in just fifteen minutes, which was quicker than previous records, after all the practice. Fifteen minutes was still a long fight, yet Xiang Ma didn’t show any signs of fatigue.
Mu Yu sent nine black and white sparrows from the formation out. Thanks to some introspection, he had them flying markedly faster than the first attempt. The nine sparrows hid among the trees to wait for opportunity to present itself. Mu Yu emerged from the plethora of trees and joined his two yin corpses in the assault.
“Finally ready to die, Kid?” Xiang Ma turned cloned his axe and swung two down at Mu Yu.
Xiang Ma was obviously too fast for Mu Yu. Anger flitted across Xiang Ma’s grin as Mu Yu exploded instead of splitting apart.
Illusion Formation was a basic Heaven Stage formation. Whether or not the illusion was convincing depended on how deep the caster’s grasp on it was. Mu Yu’s execution was average, but Xiang Ma’s eagerness to kill Mu Yu blinded his judgement.
“Die, Xiang Zhu!”
Xiang Ma’s big swing left his back wide open for Mu Yu to fire branches and two punches – courtesy of his two Spirit Severing Realm yin corpses- at Xiang Ma’s back.
“My name is Xiang Ma!”
Xiang Ma discharged spiritual energy around him, shredding Mu Yu’s tree branches. Xiang Ma whipped his leg at the two yin corpse’s heads, flooring them. Alas, the nine sparrows managed to penetrate the spiritual energy field and enter Xiang Ma’s body.
How did he penetrate my spiritual energy field? Xiang Ma checked his body but couldn’t find any issues.
“You think flamboyant moves will work on me?”
Xiang Ma cracked his neck again and darted after Mu Yu. Mu Yu quickly dashed into the trees and hid again.
