Blood Domain Demon Soul (Part 1)
Gui Ximing felt his ghost qi frantically hurtling from his body and saw his chains snap into a useless red miss. Besides his weak zone, his four limbs’ joints and neck had a Shadow Splitter Sword lodged in each part, flummoxing him.
“Did nobody ever teach you not to underestimate formation casters?” Mu Yu ridiculed after using Regenesis as nine different variations instead of a single power spear.
Mu Yu triggered a sword qi release, dismembering Long Xingyun’s body, also hurting Gui Ximing in the process – evident from the lacerated face seen when his head ejected from Long Xingyun’s body. Hoping to end it once and for all, Mu Yu lunged after Gui Ximing’s head. Unfortunately, Archfiend Yujiang charged through Qiao Xue and the dragon vine to catch Mu Yu’s sword, then threw Mu Yu comparably to a rag doll.
Gui Bao feinted to shake off Xiaoshuai and the winning fish to bail back to Gui Ximing’s side. Once the trio turned back on track to give chase, the fiend king tried slugging them, forcing them to move out of the way again.
“This bloody fiend king!” Mu Yu cursed as he joined up with Qiao Xue.
“Gui Ximing, do you have a plan?” asked Gui Bao, starting to feel concerned due to Gui Ximing’s defeat.
Defeat is imminent. If they manage to smear blood on the fiend king, Gui Bao will be the only able to fight, Gui Ximing analysed in his mind.
“Everyone, focus on the fiend king first,” Mu Yu ordered.
Mu Yu’s group launched their long-range attacks carrying blood in hopes of wiping some on the fiend king. The fiend king blitzed the air, keeping the branches and water droplets away but didn’t mount any attacks.
“Leg it!” Gui Ximing commanded, hoping to find a chance to heal and try killing Mu Yu again.
“Yeah right,” Mu Yu remarked, destroying the exit as fast as he could.
By the time Gui Ximing and Gui Bao angrily spun back to Mu Yu, the latter already turned his attention to the fiend king. Mu Yu couldn’t explain why the green text – which was the same text he had to make out when inheriting Primordial Yin Yang – he had orbiting the fiend king could penetrate anything besides knowing it could thanks to Ku Mu, but it did slip through the fiend king’s punches to cast Divine Soul Formation on the fiend king.
Mu Yu gritted his teeth to fight on even though blood was leaking out between them as a result being unable to stop the fiend king’s punch completely. Nevertheless, Mu Yu bought enough time for Wood Spirit to catch Mu Yu’s blood and pass it on to Water Spirit to then slap onto the fiend king.
“Good job, you two,” praised Archfiend Yujiang, expelling the ghost qi from his body to attain freedom. “Keep your guard up. If the blood leaves me, I’ll lose control over my body again. One more thing: our pecking order should be to find my descendants’ blood first, or I won’t be able to heal up.”
“Qiao Xue, I’ll take over,” demanded Mu Yu, taking over Qiao Xue’s Water Spirit for she started to go pale from transfusing blood to the fiend king.
Gui Ximing turned his red mist into a corporeal body as he watched blood circulate around the fiend king’s body. Gui Ximing subsequently summoned Long Xingyun’s soul.
“Wait! Wait! Please spare me!” Long Xingyun begged.
Gui Ximing snickered. “How are you going to live when all you have left is your soul?”
“Please. I’ll do anything! Anything!”
Gui Ximing narrowed his eyes and started enveloping Long Xingyun in red mist. “You want to live? As a fiend, you should know how to control fiends’ bodies, correct? If you want, I can give you Ocean Archfiend’s body. On second thought, you came here to save him. You should just become part of my blood soul corps.”
“No! No! I don’t give a toss about some ocean fiend king. I… I…” Long Xingyun’s tone changed as he said, “Ocean Archfiend died five millenniums ago. I can live on as Ocean Archfiend.”
“Sounds good to me.”
Gui Ximing pressed his hand on Long Xingyun, hurting the latter as he converted the latter’s soul from white to black.
“Gui Ximing, are you seriously going to have him possess Ocean Archfiend’s body?” Gui Bao questioned. “I’m absolutely positive it was supposed to be for Elder Gui Yuzi.”
“Do you have an alternative suggestion to repossess control over Ocean Archfiend’s body? His soul’s potency coincidentally meets the requirement. That’s why I didn’t crush his soul from the get-go.”
Gui Bao gave up debating upon turning back to Mu Yu and Qiao Xue.
“This is amazing,” Long Xingyun, who now resembled a black soul with red strings wrapped around his body, remarked, feeling satisfaction replace his anguish as he felt himself able to control his soul energy at will.
“I’ve turned you into Bloody Domain’s demon soul, so you better comply with my orders unless you want the blood soul threads to take your life.”
Scared witless, Long Xingyun quickly flashed a smile. “Long Xingyun is at your service.”
“Long Xingyun, have you abandoned your identity?” Qiao Xue erupted.
“Tch, I just want to keep my life!”
“It’s tragic to see your kind ruining Green Dragon Archfiend’s reputation. You’re no different to a dead fiend,” fumed Archfiend Yujiang.
Mu Yu shook his head. “How do you do it? Being that stupid, that is. How have you been standing erect all this time?”
“Let’s see who has the last laugh!”
