True Dragon’s Power
“Perfect, let’s whack the bug six feet underground,” snapped Xiaoshuai, unhappy he wasn’t able to play with Transformer.
“You think you can beat me with one decrepit bone?” Long Yeli sneered, hinting he had no intention of relying on the bone to overwhelm Mu Yu.
“I thought I’d play nice and give you a handicap,” taunted Mu Yu, churning soul energy superior to Third Heaven Palace’s inside him.
“On behalf of our race, I must kill you and rescue Lord True Dragon from your vile hands!”
“I’ll do you an extra favour and knock some reality into you!”
Mu Yu and Long Yeli started their clash with a bang, the latter demonstrating once again that the energy within soul items could easily shatter fiends’ ordinary bones unless they had a combination of them.
Long Yeli made a swift retreat and balled his numb hand. The outcome was unexpected. Howbeit, he put Mu Yu’s win down to the bone as ascending to Body Synthesis Realm from Mu Yu’s level a few days ago was impossible.
Mu Yu activated Heavenly Stars Formation, emerging again above Long Yeli’s exposed skull. Long Yeli exhibited superior speed as one would expect, strafing left and trying to connect his black dragon claws into Mu Yu’s neck. Mu Yu leaned back and fired Shadow Splitter Sword out from a void to intercept the claw that would’ve otherwise caught him, providing himself with a window to get out of range.
“My cultivation is biting my rear again,” lamented Mu Yu, shaking his head.
“You have a lot of valuables on you, huh? Judging from how sturdy it is and its sword qi, it must be Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s celestial sword. I think I’ll be taking that, hahaha.”
Mu Yu shook his head and activated the formation on Shadow Splitter Sword, teleporting into a void after Long Yeli got his hands on it.
“All right, we can do this the hard way!”
Long Yeli used his speed to breach Mu Yu’s attack range, uncorking a straight thrust at close range. Mu Yu rowed his elbow up, taking the blow with the femur bone. Long Yeli expected Mu Yu to draw his sword or cast a magic skill for that was what cultivators specialised in. Fighting a fiend physically, especially one with dragon blood coursing through his veins, was dangerous because fiend beasts naturally possessed stronger physical bodies.
In reality, Mu Yu not only had He Liankong’s energy but also his own black and white spiritual energy that was rapidly healing any physical damage he took, allowing him to keep up with Long Yeli.
“Big Earthworm, why does your body seem so fragile in comparison? Are you a fake dragon?”
“He’s not my son. Who are you calling a fake? When have I ever been hurt besides when I was in my weakened state right after evolving?”
“Oh, so your body must be tougher than his, then. Mu Yu, as long as you two can reasonably control yourselves, you can borrow Big Earthworm’s physical strength.”
“Fine by me. I guess it counts as me smacking that cocky fraud in a way,” enthused the dragon vine, fusing into Mu Yu’s wrist.
Mu Yu connected with Long Yeli’s punch with his own green dragon vine claws. As a result, Long Yeli’s blood circulated slower, resulting in a weaker punch. Mu Yu broke Long Yeli’s wrist and slammed his fist into Long Yeli’s chest.
“Dragon Vine, you should’ve told me we could do this. It would’ve saved me a tonne of trouble,” said Mu Yu, performing wrist circles and then planting another fist in Long Yeli’s face.
As Long Yeli raised his arms to guard his face, Mu Yu uncoiled another punch. Owing to the dragon vine’s power as a true dragon, Long Yeli’s power couldn’t make it to his hands in time again. Consequently, Mu Yu punched Long Yeli’s hand into his own face.
“Damn true dragon! How are you doing it?!”
“First, you wind up, and then you throw, like this!”
Mu Yu threw body hooks, uppercuts, landing a string of combos until he dropped Long Yeli. Not satisfied, Mu Yu proceeded to bounce Long Yeli’s head off the ground as a hammer, cracking the ground. It took a while, but Long Yeli finally slipped away from Mu Yu’s onslaught.
The boundary line determined that Mu Yu was the victor in what was going to be a one-sided pounding, with Mu Yu swinging the hammer, and granted the human souls another metre of territory.
While the human souls were celebrating, Gui Yuzi, who was watching the match from atop a mountain in the distance, pointed and explained, “See that soul item? I assume you recognise the energy exuding from it. That’s what we need to get our hands on.”
Gui Yeming cast his narrowed eyes onto Mu Yu.
