Instant Transmission Formation
To stop his fall, Mu Yu hastily reacted, kicking off the white tiger’s belly. As the tiger was the spawn of sword qi, unfortunately, the sword qi invaded his body via his foot, numbing his leg. It was the equivalent of shielding a sword qi blast with his foot. He, therefore, forced the foreign sword qi out of his body and fled. Had he not got away at that instant, the swinging dragon tail would’ve caught him.
“Man, I wish I paid more attention when Greater Heaven Caster Lu taught me Heavenly Star Formation! I guess I have to wage my luck, then!”
Mu Yu linked six Greater Heaven Stage formation foundations up to himself and sprayed streams of spiritual energy, drawing a formation around him. With his will, he teleported himself. In essence, both Heavenly Star Formations instated Mu Yu as the heart. As a result of stacking them, the two had to fight for dominance.
Mu Yu started teleporting as the dragon and tiger did. They almost crashed into each other every now and then; however, Mu Yu used movements from Dustfallen Stance to avoid collisions. Over time, he noticed he had more control than he previously did. Thus, he aimed at where the tiger disappeared and slid, teleporting to where the tiger previously was.
“Dustfallen Stance and Heavenly Star Formation’s combination? If I can manipulate my position in the formation using Dustfallen Stance, I’ll have mastered teleportation. Let’s see if my theory holds up.”
Mu Yu analysed how the two worked in unison as he continued evading using Dustfallen Stance. “Will I be able to defuse the sword formation if I can predict where the swords will show up next?”
Not long after, Mu Yu realised, It’s working! If I can invent a teleportation stance, I’ll be a monster when deploying formations in combat! Where I land is still hit and miss right now, though. Let’s play along with them for a while longer to get this down.
Mu Yu decided to keep trying and trying.
“Finally! I really can combine the two to create an instant transmission formation. All right, let’s reverse our roles now.”
Monitoring the white tiger, Mu Yu leapt at an opportunity, teleporting beside it and slicing it in two before it could put up a defence and erasing it.
“You’re next.”
Mu Yu repeated the process on the white lion, vanquishing it in a single stroke. It wasn’t over yet, nevertheless. Mu Yu turned his attention to Lethal Deity straight after. Lethal Deity thwarted Mu Yu’s attack, and the two started another scrap.
“You might be good at formations and swordplay, but I’m not inferior!”
Mu Yu teleported and created five Shadow Splitter Swords. Appearing again, his five swords were imbued with lightning dragons. Lethal God’s attention shifted from the five swords in the air to his chest, where Mu Yu impaled him through the chest with another sword. Mu Yu injected sword qi into Lethal Deity to wreck his insides.
“Don’t go assuming I only have five swords.”
Lethal Deity began to crack away until he was vanquished for good. With him erased, the damaged landscape quaked. Mu Yu was moved from the landscape he destroyed to a rocky area.
There was a slash mark on a boulder on the rocky hill. The sword qi on the rock had been there for ages, yet nobody could’ve missed it. The sword spirit seemingly came to life and replayed the swordplay to Mu Yu. The familiar sword spirit was still so prominent that Mu Yu gritted his teeth and tensed his hands to fight it.
“This is a familiar sword qi,” Xiaoshuai remarked.
Mu Yu struggled to raise Shadow Splitter Sword. For whatever reason, the pressure concentrated onto Mu Yu’s hand. After executing Dustfallen Swordplay’s first technique, he lost control over his body. He started to visualise every technique and move from Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts even though it was never his intention to.
Something was missing; the question was “what”. Mu Yu gradually lost awareness of his surroundings as he allowed the sword spirit to guide his thoughts.
Dustfallen Swordplay’s fifth technique, Falling Dragon Howls the Sky Down. I can make the sword spirit manifest a dragon, but a sword spirit isn’t a living entity. How do I do what the Heavenly Star Formation did and give the dragon a mind of its own so that I don’t need to control it in battle? Wait a second… My dragon vine has developed its own mind.
