Have You Overcome Your Mental Hurdle?
As Yan Qingyun threw her red lotus into the dirt, branches sprouted from the same ground, trapping the red lotus inside. Mu Yu then vaulted, though he was not steady on his feet anymore after the previous exchange.
“We going to crush the jade piece to run?” Xiaoshuai asked.
“We can’t. It takes three seconds to activate, which is more than enough time for them to sabotage the formation,” Mu Yu answered.
“What’s with Tian Ran?!”
“I’ll find a way to restore her to her usual self. I don’t believe she has forsaken her emotions.”
Though Tian Ran had a hand in Mu Yu’s predicament, he did not detest her for it, believing Third Heaven Palace and Secular World Sect misled or forced her into joining them.
“It makes no difference what you believe!” responded Jiang Shanqiu, guffawing as he and Xiang Heguan closed in to confine Mu Yu inside their soul energy barrier.
Mu Yu cast Gentle Wind Interlinked Hearts Formation, trying to snag Jiang Shanqiu and Xiang Heguan in it.
“Your formations won’t do squat.”
Jiang Shanqiu and Xiang Heguan easily shook off Mu Yu’s formation thanks to their superior formation. Next, they edged closer from Mu Yu’s front and rear simultaneously, knocking him aside despite him blocking.
Xiaoshuai desperately tried to heal Mu Yu’s injuries using spiritual qi in the atmosphere. Xiaoshuai was unable to help out any further due to the level of the combatants, while Mu Yu had so many skills in lockdown, putting him a deadly disadvantage.
“Nobody can save you this time!”
“Stop!” Tian Ran suddenly cut off Jiang Shanqiu’s advance. “Nobody but I shall kill him.”
If I’m dead one way or another, I’d rather let Tian Ran kill me, brooded Mu Yu, seeing nothing but violence in Tian Ran’s eyes.
“Fine,” responded Jiang Shanqiu. “He’s hopeless as it is now. Kill him to sever those last emotional minds and ascend.”
Tian Ran meandered over to Mu Yu and called out Empyrean Revelation.
“They’re controlling you with Divine Soul Formation, aren’t they?” inquired Mu Yu, suppressing his bloodlust energy so that he could face Tian Ran as his true self.
“You’re wrong about that. Nobody needs to control her. She will rule Secular World Sect once she learns Red Lotus Style. There’s nothing wrong with killing your parents if it’s for Secular World Sect,” asserted Yan Qingyun.
“If I get through this, I’ll raze Secular World Sect to the ground.”
“That chance will forever elude you,” replied Tian Ran, running Empyrean Revelation straight through Mu Yu’s chest without hesitation.
Mu Yu, surprised, smiled bitterly as he struggled to meet Tian Ran’s eyes. “Have you overcome your mental hurdle now?”
Tian Ran threw aside her bloody sword and frowned. “Why?! I should’ve conquered my mental hurdle!”
“Because killing me isn’t the resolution you seek.”
Mu Yu’s bloodied body cracked apart as he appeared behind Tian Ran, Contiguous Horizon Formation and Mirror Formation active around them as he subdued her with bloodlust energy.
“Damn it! He got us with an illusion formation!”
Mu Yu whispered in Tian Ran’s ear. “I want to snap you out of it.”
