Spirit Void
Mu Yu could still feel his spiritual energy circulating perfectly fine upon landing on a dune.
Qiao Xue picked up a rock among the weeds growing around the cave behind the dune. “I need a weapon because we can’t use our elemental demon abilities here, either.”
“Don’t tell me we’re going to fight using rocks? You’re not going to tell me the alternative is the shattered stones strewn around the weeds, are you? Surely there’s something better than what children would do.”
“No, we’re actually going to duke it out using rock, paper, scissors,” sarcastically answered Qiao Xue, picking up more rocks, which she could utilise the same way she fired ice. “There’s something odd about the villagers and kids inhabiting the village down this road. I’m pretty sure they’re just illusions. Still, we should refrain from bothering them.”
“Why?” Xiaoshuai queried.
“Because they have pickaxes and hatchets.”
When all else was equal, humans equipped with weapons had an advantage over unarmed opponents. In reality, nevertheless, they weren’t equal for agility and strength still remained even if the cultivators couldn’t access their spirit energy. Luckily, Mu Yu drew Shadow Splitter Sword prior to entering the forty-sixth floor. Even though he couldn’t boost it with spiritual energy, he trusted his combat experience and training was enough to defend himself and maul Gui Ximing.
“You two done running?” fumed Gui Ximing, appearing before the cave entrance.
“Who was running? Walk your pompous behind over here if you want a piece of me.”
“You asked for it,” responded Gui Ximing, leaping and stretching an arm out.
Expecting himself to jump ten-odd metres up, Gui Ximing couldn’t adapt to the surprise and wobbled upon landing after barely leaving the ground.
“Yes, give me your head!”
Mu Yu sprinted over, swinging across the head of Gui Ximing, who thought he could drive Mu Yu back using a discharge of ghost qi. By the time Gui Ximing realised it wasn’t working, he barely had enough time to tilt his body, saving his head, but absorbing a cut with his body.
Gui Ximing lividly tried summoning his axe in vain and couldn’t call on his blood souls, either.
Seeing a rock Qiao Xue pitched at him, Gui Ximing strafed, allowing Mu Yu to block the cave entrance, also cutting off Gui Ximing’s escape route.
“Another formation? What makes you two think you can beat me when all three of us have had our cultivation locked?”
Gui Ximing picked up the rock Qiao Xue threw to throw back. From his perspective, they had equal chances of winning since everyone could hit each other unlike when under the influence of Contiguous Horizon Formation.
“Shadow Splitter Sword says I’ll mangle you!”
Bolting into the pocket, Mu Yu missed his first thrust, but he propelled himself off a rock to expedite bridging the gap, landing his second strike through Gui Ximing’s shoulder.
“And my handsomeness says I’ll maul you!”
Xiaoshuai deftly launched off Mu Yu’s body, bisecting the rock Gui Ximing threw and swiped him across the chest.
Because of the corrosion Bloody Domain Demon Skull inflicted, there was no telling how much damage was done onto Gui Ximing. He didn’t even bat an eye when they tagged him, so there was no telling if their attacks were working or not.
“What did you think Bloody Domain Demon Skull is used for? I’m now a skeleton, so I can’t be hurt or killed, kekeke,” Gui Ximing mocked, letting Mu Yu’s sword run through his heart. “You done?”
Gui Ximing and Mu Yu traded a punch each, sending each other staggering.
Qiao Xue managed to continue clobbering Gui Ximing with rocks, but that was because he simply didn’t care.
“Can’t be killed, you say?”
“That’s right!”
The dragon vine tore off a piece of Gui Ximing’s flesh on his back. Xiaoshuai sliced off Gui Ximing’s hand.
Gui Ximing picked up his hand to reattach it. “See? It’s pointless.”
“I know. All at once. Xiaoshuai, amputate all of his limbs,” Mu Yu quietly commanded
After Mu Yu lopped his head off, Gui Ximing’s body fetched it and went to reattach it. Xiaoshuai used the small window to amputate Gui Ximing’s limbs, irking Qiao Xue. Every limb had its own mind, able to move on their own.
“I told you that you can’t kill me.”
“I don’t need to,” replied Mu Yu, kicking Gui Ximing’s head away. “I can just separate all of your limbs.”
“Give me your skull!” Xiaoshuai shouted, chopping Gui Ximing’s head in two.
A certain energy reattached Gui Ximing’s severed head.
“My skull has merged with Bloody Domain Demon Skull, so you can’t destroy my skull!”
“I see. I shall bury you alive, then.”
Mu Yu dug up a five-metre-deep hole with Qiao Xue, then kicked Gui Ximing’s head down, reinforcing it with a boulder.
“Mu Yu, when I get out, I will rip you apart limb from limb!” cursed Gui Ximing.
“Enjoy it down there. You’re welcome.”
