Gui Ximing, You’re Finished
His Lordship is dead. That damn fiend has stalled Elder Gui Yuzi. Mu Yu is ascending to Body Synthesis Realm and will be even more of a threat thanks to Helian Kong’s soul item. I must kill now before he finishes ascending, inwardly noted Gui Ximing, giving Gui Bao the signal to quickly end the scrap with Qiao Xue, Long Yeli and E Wenmao.
By the time Gui Ximing sped off, Qiao Xue couldn’t possibly keep up. Xiaoshuai tried to stop Gui Ximing as the latter begin surrounding Mu Yu in ghost qi. Unfortunately, Gui Ximing slapped Xiaoshuai aside.
“There’s nobody here to save you this time!” remarked Gui Ximing, bringing down the red executioner.
Mu Yu caught the axe in one hand and then scattered the ghost qi around using the same intense bloodlust energy as before. Mu Yu blasted Gui Ximing as he summoned Wood Spirit and locked onto the latter to end their rivalry.
Gui Ximing shielded himself from Mu Yu’s qi using a ghost qi hand, yet it was as if it was too terrified and let Mu Yu’s qi through, letting the blast rock his forehead. By the time he realised it, he had collided into the island.
“H-how…?”
“Gui Ximing, have you said your last prayers?”
Mu Yu brought out Helian Kong’s soul item, transferring the soul energy within to himself. He turned his black and white qi into a sword. Gui Ximing hurtled out of the crater Mu Yu blasted him into, dashing toward the red mist, where his chances of escaping were highest. Alas, Mu Yu’s sword erased Gui Ximing’s confidence instantly.
“There’s no such thing as a perfect defence,” Mu Yu stated, grazing Gui Ximing’s forehead.
Feeling the black and white qi invading the gaping hole in his forehead, thereby preventing it from healing, Gui Ximing denounced, “Impossible! Blood Domain Demon Skull is invincible!”
Gui Ximing attempted to force out the black and white energy from his head with a ghost hand to no avail. He started grunting, groaning and howling as the energy stirred up his brain and blood. Black and white qi leaked out of his veins and eventually out of every orifice it could find, restricting his ability to even groan. Without enough space to escape from, the overflowing energy started to peel away his skin and shatter his soul. With Gui Ximing out of the picture, Blood Domain Demon Skull dropped lifelessly to the ground as a black, cracked skull.
Mu Yu’s bloodlust started to intensify even further as he turned to Gui Bao. “Go keep him company.”
Gui Bao pelted to the ocean, forgetting he couldn’t escape until he reached the edge of the shore. Upon spinning around, black and white sword qi pierced through the top of his skull, leaving his dismembered corpse on the ground. The ocean breeze took what was left him and turned into sand.
Next, Mu Yu refocused his gaze on Qiao Xue and company. He suppressed his urge to kill Qiao Xue, but he made no effort to hide his hostility toward E Wenmao and Long Yeli, adamant on avenging himself for the multiple times they teamed up with Long Xingyun to falsely accuse him for deeds he never committed.
E Wenmao and Long Yeli didn’t even bother running from the attack they had no hopes of escaping. Nonetheless, Xiaoshuai brought Shadow Splitter Sword over to intercept the blast, shouting, “Mu Yu, stop! You can hear me! Stop letting your bloodlust control you, or you’ll never feel anything besides bloodlust! Have you forgotten about reviving Dad?!”
“Dad…” mumbled Mu Yu.
Because the bloodlust picked up on Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation, the formation began to wobble.
“Xiaoshuai, seal this energy away,” Mu Yu instructed, voice devoid of emotion.
Shadow Splitter Sword absorbed the white energy and placed itself in Mu Yu’s hand. Wood Spirit Sword bid farewell to Mu Yu’s hand, then levitated up. Shadow Splitter Sword purged the cold bloodlust from Mu Yu’s body with its warm qi.
“Damn, that’s some intense power,” Mu Yu commented, regaining his emotions.
In spite of Mu Yu managing to retain his Body Synthesis Realm cultivation, there was a trace of the aggression still within him. He, in fact, could still sense the violence coming from Wood Spirit.
“You’re not ready to use the power,” Xiaoshuai asserted, sealing Wood Spirit back inside Shadow Splitter Sword to cut off Mu Yu’s link to the latter sword. “What’s… the status of your Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation?”
