Ascension Realm Version Long Xingyun
“Qiao Xue, come back to me. I don’t want to hurt you. Mu Yu is my only target,” demanded Long Xingyun, lips taking on slap-worthy shape.
“Long Xingyun, have you any idea what you’ve done? You’ve ruined Grandpa Green Dragon’s plan, which means you’re doomed even if you survive,” Qiao Xue replied.
Long Xingyun’s brows came together, then apart. “Hahaha, Grandpa wants a pure-blooded dragon successor, doesn’t he? Once I kill Mu Yu and transplant his dragon vine in myself, I will be a true dragon. All I need is time to restore Ocean Fiend King’s cultivation, and I shall become the most qualified candidate for the throne.”
Ignoring Long Xingyun’s eyes creeping over to the dragon vine, Qiao Xue remonstrated, “You think Grandpa Green Dragon will entrust the kingdom to you when you’ve lowered yourself to Ghost Gate’s lapdog?”
“Hahaha, with my powers now, I can just establish a new kingdom if he doesn’t pass the reins on to me. Qiao Xue, as long as you join me, you will be my queen. You will have the highest authority in my kingdom.”
“Don’t delude yourself!”
“Last chance,” Long Xingyun warned, lowering his lips to form a straight line. “Choose wisely.”
Mu Yu chimed in. “Long Xingyun, you do realise Blood Domain Demon Soul’s effects only last seven days, don’t you? You won’t even be a speck of dust in this world after. You think Ghost Gate will feed you when you’re useless? What kingdom will you create, the one that lasted the blink of an eye?”
“Master, is he telling the truth?” Long Xingyun hurriedly asked Gui Ximing.
Gui Ximing shook his head. “Think. It was supposed to be for Elder Gui Yuzi to use. Would we harm elder Gui Yuzi? Moreover, Blood Domain Demon Skull is the same as Blood Domain Demon Soul. I’m a host right now, yet I’m not jumping up and down, so what are you fretting about?”
Affirming to himself that Gui Ximing wasn’t lying, Long Xingyun turned back to Mu Yu. “Say what you want. It won’t change the fact that you’ll die here and now.”
This idiot doesn’t realise Gui Ximing will just find another compatible host once the seven days come to an end, Mu Yu mused.
Long Xingyun unleashed the biggest hand slam he could, trying to give Mu Yu nowhere to run to. Wood Mu Yu grabbed his two buddies and jumped into the combined product of Wood Spirit and Water Spirit, Qiao Xue and her winning fish following closely behind to flee. Alas, Long Xingyun’s might reduced their shelter to droplets of water, where Mu Yu and Qiao Xue jumped from one to the other to escape, carrying small plants within.
Long Xingyun confined the water droplets, then shrunk the confines, prompting the plants inside the droplets to emerge and deal with the ghost qi. Unfortunately, the plants were no longer a match for Long Xingyun’s newfound power, forcing Mu Yu to emerge and cast Contiguous Horizon Formation on the plants as a means of keeping the ghost qi at bay.
“Hahaha, what’s that supposed to do?” Long Xingyun slighted, breaking down Mu Yu’s formation using ghost mist and cleaving through the branches with a ghost hand to reach Mu Yu.
Seeing Mu Yu cornered, Xiaoshuai jumped out, extending an electric-enhanced claw to intercept Long Xingyun’s ghost hand. “Shut your ugly mouth, you bootlicking wuss.”
Xiaoshuai breezed through the hand, weaning it. Alas, the residue energy sent Xiaoshuai packing. “I’ll get you back for this, motherflipper!”
Mu Yu stretched a branch out to fetch Xiaoshuai. Thanks to Xiaoshuai, there was finally an opening, allowing Mu Yu to leverage Wood Spirit’s flexibility to slip through and teleport to the pillars.
“Don’t let him get onto the pillars!” Gui Ximing belted.
Long Xingyun snapped out of his daze and extended a ghost hand after Mu Yu, but the pillars kept moving about. Mu Yu, therefore, had plenty of time to cast Clinging Fire Sound Creation to jump on a pillar. Still, Long Xingyun’s overwhelming speed empowered him to keep up with Mu Yu. In order to shake off his predator, Mu Yu jumped to another pillar and simultaneously cast a “clinging fire” formation.
This isn’t going to go anywhere with Long Xingyun following so closely behind me. I’m practically tiring myself out to open a path for him. Let’s gamble on this.
Mu Yu cast Contiguous Horizon Formation behind him.
“That won’t work on me,” jibed Long Xingyun, socking Mu Yu in the back.
Even though Mu Yu took damage from Long Xingyun’s blow, the momentum propelled him forward, creating enough distance for Mu Yu to boost his way out.
“Muscle your way out of that, dimwit.”
Qiao Xue supported Mu Yu and started transferring blue energy to him. “You all right?”
“I can’t straighten up my back yet; I can barely stand, in fact. Can you help me lie down?” Mu Yu struggled to carry Xiaoshuai out of his shirt. “Xiaoshuai, you all right?”
“I don’t feel good. I need a nap.”
“Go ahead, buddy,” Mu Yu responded, petting Xiaoshuai’s head.
Xiaoshuai could take a Body Synthesis Realm cultivator’s blow and fight on, but an Ascension Realm cultivators attack was too much for him to take unscathed.
“Mu Yu!” Long Xingyun thundered, unable to escape the formation.
Gui Ximing narrowed his gaze on Mu Yu. “You want to stay here forever?”
