“This isn’t going to cut it. The gales His Majesty produces evaporates my water, and he’s too fast for my Water Spirit to get close. Additionally, he’s strong enough to send you flying whenever you two clash. We must find a way to transfer our blood to him,” Qiao Xue opined, hiding in Water Spirit to dodge an incoming cannon ball.

“Like? Let him hit me?” questioned the dragon vine, firing dragon breath back at the next fist bomb. “I don’t want to take a single blow from him!”

Even though Xiaoshuai and the two winning fish couldn’t defeat Gui Bao, the latter avoided their lightning despite having soul energy protecting him. Thus, they successfully stalled him while Mu Yu and Gui Ximing engaged in a fierce contest.

Mu Yu had no reason to fear the poison Gui Ximing flung from his skull chains. The corrosive effects of the poison were another story, having said that, as corrosive substances couldn’t be directly filtered, especially since the poison concocted from bones enhanced it.

Mu Yu batted away the incoming chain, simultaneously spawning another Shadow Splitter Sword above and jamming the eighteen chains through their links, tangling them up together. Gui Ximing took a swing at Mu Yu’s sword, but the latter quickly chucked it back into a void and cast Contiguous Horizon Formation, keeping the axe three centimetres away at all times. Although the sword was unscathed, the wind generated from the blistering–fast swing blew it away and sliced Mu Yu’s spiritual energy, freeing up the chains.

Mu Yu let Shadow Splitter Sword take the wheel instead of dodging, one sword multiplying into nine as a means of countering the eighteen chains and forcing them into close-quarters combat, where Mu Yu was most comfortable.

The two pushed each other away and then brought it back in. Gui Ximing took Mu Yu’s sword through his shoulder and attempted to separate Mu Yu’s head from his shoulders, fighting recklessly since he was in Long Xingyun’s body. Mu Yu ducked under, unbalanced Gui Ximing using a front kick and then leaned forward to take Gui Ximing’s arm with a vertical slash, prompting Gui Ximing to strafe.

Knowing Mu Yu teleported behind him, Gui Ximing raised his axe overhead to guard then stepped away. “You’ve improved.”

Gui Ximing’s weakness was his lack of defence whilst going on offence, with the bare minimum being dedicated to ensuring his limbs were intact. Hence why Mu Yu deliberately set up to amputate Gui Ximing’s limbs as he previously did.

Mu Yu stopped his nine swords mid-flight, installing their techniques into his main sword for a swirling-gale Regenesis thrust!

Gui Ximing disposed of his axe to devote two hands to defence personally and folded his chains into a single one for a more robust shield.

When Gui Ximing used his chains, his spiritual energy usage method was how he himself would it. Since the ghost general’s distraction wouldn’t work as a result, Mu Yu activated the formation he reserved for the right moment and began to switch his aim to the green flash on Gui Ximing.

Gui Ximing didn’t know what Mu Yu had in mind, but the green formation that lit up in Mu Yu’s eyes set off alarms. Gui Ximing immediately guarded his weak point whilst watching Mu Yu’s aim even more meticulously. Upon seeing Appose Horizon Formation activate on Shadow Splitter Sword, he decided to create a barrier around every inch of his body. As every cultivator had to collect spirit energy at a specific body part when using any technique, Gui Ximing called on his blood souls as insurance because he couldn’t stop what he had started already. To be even safer, Gui Ximing chose to shoot his chains out at Mu Yu’s sword from dozens of metres away.

Upon making contact, Mu Yu’s single sword multiplied into nine, leaving Gui Ximing with inadequate time to dodge!
