Land of the Dead
“One, two, three, four, five, six. The punk chopped it an extra part!” Xiaoshuai exclaimed.
Because Xiaoshuai’s sword was produced from actual electric sparks, it didn’t just evaporate.
“Then, we’ll just have to blow them up again!”
Mu Yu imbued the six fragments with formations, shrinking the fragments until they were thumb-sized sapphire pearls whilst maintaining their potency. The potency, needless to say, would be magnified once released due to compression.
“Xiaoshuai’s Lightning Blast!”
The explosion of energy distorted the air and blasted away the yin qi. The resounding blue blast sprayed as if the sky was hailing electrical sparks.
“That’s not going to be enough to hurt me!”
Though the blast didn’t harm the individual, they were audibly incensed.
“There are still five more, so you’ll have your fill!”
By the time the individual noticed, the five lightning pearls around had them dead centre, and the explosion blew all the yin qi into oblivion.
“Wow, how did my Lightning Blast blow out such a beautiful girl?” Xiaoshuai remarked, ogling the maiden blessed with a body that men would be besotted with and women would be green with envy at the sight of.
“We didn’t even get her correctly. Moreover, is she supposed to be the one we’ve been searching for?” Mu Yu questioned.
“Die,” the maiden brayed.
Xiaoshuai scrunched his face. “Why does her voice sound so creepy? It’s like she a fiend beast’s voice mixed with a male duck plus screeching all mixed in together.”
Mu Yu and Xiaoshuai exchange eye contact to express agreement.
“It’s unfortunate that her voice is horrible, but I really want to squeeze those udders.”
“How about you kill her before she kills someone else?!” Mu Yu reprimanded, summoning lightning to Shadow Splitter Sword as sword qi again.
“Yeah, yeah, I want a rub,” commented Xiaoshuai, summoning a blue sword to his hand again.
The maiden swung both hooks she brandished on either side of Mu Yu simultaneously. Mu Yu chose to march forward and take them both head on. The lightning penetrated the layer of ice on the walls, flinging ice flakes everywhere. Still, Mu Yu was unable to damage the rock face.
The maiden was able to trade with Mu Yu and fight off Xiaoshuai’s lightning sword simultaneously. Having said that, it was a stalemate thus far.
“Mu Yu, need me to help?” inquired the dragon vine.
“Xiaoshuai and I are enough,” answered Mu Yu, installing formations into the walls as he moved.
“This is no place for you to be,” brayed the maiden, somehow recreating the rumbling sound of a coffin rolling down.
“That’s the sound! King of Hell has opened the gate to hell!” Elder Xu screamed.
“I’d argue it sounds closer to a waterfall.”
As soon as they saw the violent deluge of yellow water came from up ahead, Xiaoshuai stowed away his sword and returned to Mu Yu’s shoulder while Mu Yu ordered, “Dragon Vine, take Elder Xu away from here!”
The dragon vine tightened itself around Elder Xu’s waist and hurled the elder onto its back. “Hang on tight! It’s not my problem if you fall!”
Elder Xu hooked his arms around the dragon vine’s neck just in time for take-off.
“I thought you came looking for me. Don’t go running now!” scoffed the maiden, turning the stream of water into freaky claws to catch Mu Yu and the dragon vine.
“Now I know why the bottom of the valley is spanking clean! The damn flood swept all the coffins, bones and everything away!”
“That is the river from hell that leads to the land of the dead! Am I already dead?” Elder Xu cried.
Mu Yu teleported to the dragon vine and used Heavenly Stars Formation again to teleport all of them back to the top of the valley. Unexpectedly, the stream of water was coming down where they landed.
“Water turning into massive hands now? Where is this water even coming from? We didn’t see any holes in the valley,” Xiaoshuai lamented in a loud voice.
“I agree, but I’m a little busy right now.”
Mu Yu smothered the dragon vine in his spiritual energy as a means of guarding against the putrid water.
The bones in the rising water merged together to former a hand for the maiden to stand on. The bones in the water quivered as if they were alive and aware of the freak show taking place. The skulls – skulls that had yet to decay – surfaced and stared at Mu Yu with their red eyes.
“You think you can escape?”
“A coffin siege? Now this is a first.”
Along the red threads connecting the coffins surrounding them were bouncing skulls.
Chen Erzhuang and his four clerks got out of their coffins to line up behind the maiden.
“You know, you’d be a pretty girl if you don’t speak,” Xiaoshuai remarked.
“Where do you come from?” Mu Yu questioned.
She tugged up the corner of her lips.
