The Power of Lightning
Copper hues had started to shine on the horizon.
Watching the roiling corpse water, Chi Yue licked her lips. “A cultivator will amplify my corpse water far more than an ordinary human could. It’s a pity that only those who die natural deaths will be pure. He just had to go and kill Chen Erzhuang. I still have his clerks, but who else works in the funeral business? I still need to lay low considering my cultivation. Why is my backup in this heaven still not here?”
Noticing Chi Yue cast her eyes his way, Elder Xu ducked behind the boulder, shut his eyes and prayed, “You don’t see me. You don’t see me. You don’t see me…”
“I forgot about him. I’m glad I spared you. You can replace Chen Erzhuang and collect dead people for me, kekeke.”
Seeing a bony claw swirl up from the corpse water and extend toward him, Elder Xu opened his eyes and wet his pants. He covered his head, regretting he didn’t run. “Aaah! Stop! Sir Mu Yu, save me! I still have to feed my dog! I don’t want to die!”
“Lightning Blast!”
“Braised Ribs!”
“Spicy Wings!”
Streaks of blue light crackled against the murky sky, reducing the bony claw to black flakes. As a vortex elevated the three back up, Xiaoshuai swung his lightning sword as if he was high.
“Can you two stop with the stupid names and just stick to ‘Lightning Blast’?” Mu Yu chastised, spanking clean.
“How are you three clean after falling into my river? How are you still in control?”
“Because we have thick skin,” blurted Xiaoshuai.
“Shut up. I’m a youth of virtues.” Condescendingly, Mu Yu jibed, “Hey, uh, Flesh Wing Horny Monster, are you some sort of joke? How do you not know when you’re the one controlling your river?”
Xiaoshuai didn’t lie, while the dragon vine had fused with sword qi, thereby having armour. All Mu Yu did was hide in Wood Spirit and pull the two in. Then, they just chilled until Wood Spirit absorbed enough of the corpse water.
“Let’s use our lightning to help release the poor souls from the corpse water, shall we?” Mu Yu advocated.
Although vexed, Chi Yue fronted. “You think lightning will work on me? You think your sparks of lightning can zap the tremendous amount of corpse water I have?”
“Tremendous? That’s my specialty.”
Mu Yu gave Xiaoshuai a wink and activated Gentle Wind Interlinked Hearts Formation around all three of them.
“Xiaoshuai’s Heavenly Lightning Strike!”
“Gentle Wind Dragon Vine Howl!”
A lightning blast targeted the dragon vine. The dragon vine chased its tail round and round, turning into a vortex and devouring the lightning blast. The dragon vine subsequently fired it as a projectile from its mouth. Mu Yu covered the blast in a black and white formation as soon as it left the dragon vine’s mouth to compress it. Mu Yu reduced it into a white thumb-sized ball. Black streaks of energy crackled around it as the energy screamed its desire to break free.
“I’ll give you tremendous!”
Intimidated, Chi Yue hurled its horn as a red blade at the lightning ball Mu Yu threw, easily piercing it. “Hahaha, fancy but not practical. What other silly tricks do you have?”
Chi Yue furrowed her eyebrows for the energy from the lightning ball didn’t disappear as it should’ve.
“Where are you aiming, freak?”
Mu Yu was behind Chi Yue, while his two companions were dozens of metres behind him. Most importantly, he still had the energy ball in his arm. Chi Yue darted to Mu Yu in a desperate attempt to stop him, only to start seeing one Mu Yu pop up after another.
“Illusion formation? You got me, but this is as far as you go!”
Chi Yue ejected a barrage of red arrows, casting a formation that sundered Mu Yu’s formation. Howbeit, there were still nine Mu Yus, yet none of them had the energy ball in their hand. Instead, the lightning ball sat atop the tip of the green Shadow Splitter Swords they brandished, further compressing it into the size of a bean.
Nine Mu Yu’s struck at once, flinging lightning balls into the water. To prevent Chi Yue intercepting, the dragon vine fired anther lightning ball down from above.
Boom! The explosion of nine lightning balls created a blue vortex in the river and sizzling sounds. In no time at all, the roiling water was dead. Blue electric flashes came from the floating bones. The corpse water gradually evaporated until nothing was left after one last loud rumble.
