Battle Royale at Ghost Gate
Mu Yu exploded one of Gui Ximing’s twins, alerting Seventh. Seventh was too busy to deal with Mu Yu when he was tied up against Ghost Gate’s other members, giving Mu Yu the chance to blast him away, too.
“Mu Yu!” thundered Gui Ximing, who had also been keeping an eye out for Mu Yu.
“He’s a traitor amongst us! Kill him!” Mu Yu roared, firing off his four remaining electric balls at Gui Ximing’s twins.
Gui Ximing hurriedly called back the rest of his twins so that Mu Yu couldn’t kill them. Next, he spawned soul energy in his hand to block Mu Yu’s electric bomb, consequently blowing up all Ghost Gate disciples within its blast radius but shielding himself.
Thanks to Mu Yu distracted Gui Ximing, the mystery man had the opportunity to crack the domain that Gui Ximing’s distraction weakened.
“You think you can just waltz in here and wreak havoc?!” snapped Ghost Gate’s patriarch, training his line of sight on Mu Yu.
Ghost Gate’s patriarch directed a streak of ghost qi at Mu Yu, turning it into a silver dart made from bone mid-flight and slicing through Xiaoshuai’s lightning sword he brought around. Mu Yu triggered Heavenly Star Formation. To his dismay, the dart recalibrated its trajectory instantly, chasing him to where he reappeared. Since it would chase him until the end of eternity and surpassed his teleportation speed, he cast Contiguous Horizon Formation.
The dart lost its target for a split second, then defied Contiguous Horizon Formation thanks to its wielder’s superior cultivation. Clang! Wood Spirit saved Mu Yu from a new cylindrical chest tattoo at the last moment. Even so, the power of the throw blew Mu Yu off his feet, literally, winding him and damaging his meridians.
Mu Yu’s life qi and death qi raced against time to heal him for the dart pushed Wood Spirit aside to seek out its target. Because blocking didn’t work, Mu Yu conjured a black hole to suck it in. Sadly, he couldn’t graft it owing to the gap between their cultivation again.
“Xiaoshuai!”
Xiaoshua, understanding what to do, dove into the black hole and devoured the dart! When Mu Yu hastily opened up a white vortex to the left, Xiaoshuai emerged, ghost qi whisking from his body.
“You all right, Xiaoshuai.”
“It’s gross!”
Xiaoshuai spat the dart out, then rapidly darted his tongue in and out. Not even he could erase all the energy at the snap of a finger, resulting in his energy level plummeting considerably.
As Mu Yu tucked Xiaoshuai back in, Gui Ximing came over, swinging his red axe with a vengeance. Mu Yu summoned Shadow Splitter Sword from high to low, trading with Gui Ximing. The two of them were drained to an extent, and Ghost Gate’s disciples suspected both of them since one went around stealing their souls, while the other threw a bomb that killed several of them.
“Gentle Wind Falling Dragon Howl!”
With Gui Ximing’s attack dismantled, Mu Yu began his retaliation. “Dragon Vine, back me up!”
“Got it!” responded the dragon vine, aware that Xiaoshuai would need time to be in shape to assist.
The dragon vine assumed its complete form, commencing with a dragon breath blast. The dragon vine had each sword fired repel Gui Ximing’s axe according to Mu Yu’s will, affording Mu Yu time to cast a golden formation on his left hand and imbue it into Shadow Splitter Sword in his right hand. Mu Yu feinted at Gui Ximing, then switched it up to go for Dark Ghost Net!
“Hmph!”
Gui Ximing intercepted Mu Yu’s sword, while his four twins attempted to grab Mu Yu’s sword.
“What the?!” Gui Ximing blurted.
Gui Ximing could swear his twins had stopped Shadow Splitter Sword before it acquired its target, yet Mu Yu somehow still connected with Dark Ghost Net. The simple reason was because Mu Yu cast Appose Horizon Formation prior to striking. To compound his issues, Mu Yu’s diversion weakened Dark Ghost Net enough for the mystery man to dole out heavy damage.
“Get out of there already!” Mu Yu yelled to the mystery man.
The mystery man, though surprised someone came to his aid, dashed out of the domain, forcing Ghost Gate’s patriarch to go after him personally. The mystery man guarded Walk-in Heart Genesis with one arm while fending off the patriarch’s attacks. In spite of his valiant efforts, Walk-in Heart Genesis made life really difficult.
Even though the mystery man had felled one of the Ascension Realm elders, their superior numbers eventually allowed them to drop him.
“Kill that punk!” Ghost Gate’s patriarch commanded, pointing to Mu Yu.
“Aaaah, crap!”
