An Immortal Master Kneels Before Village Chief Bu – Clash
“I… didn’t,” Mu Yu hesitantly answered.
“Mu Yu, how are you going to persuade him if you say that?” reproved Xiaoshuai.
“I don’t want to lie.”
“You didn’t keep the promise?” Village Chief Bu asked.
“Not all immortal masters are good people, and not all elemental demons are evil. I have matured; I can see the bigger picture.”
Worried Mu Yu would win the war of words, Gu Ke urged, “I told you he is an imposter!”
Patience exhausted, Palace Guardian commanded, “Enough wasting time. If you won’t kill him with the lightning skill, we’ll bring him in!”
“Bring me in? That’s taking boasting to a new level, you hideous freak.”
Palace Guardian drew two white soul beads, though he turned them red almost right away, and installed them in his eye sockets, turning his eyes red, a sequence of movements that he carried out faster than Village Chief Bu could follow. The technique was none another technique from their Soul Style syllabus – Reverse Blood Flow – a technique for countering Mu Yu. To hide the true nature of the technique, Palace Guardian concealed the red energy inside white energy.
“I see you now!”
Mu Yu had Archfiend Hai Dongqing’s domain item, the last domain in his arsenal, at the ready, gambling on it carrying him in the imminent clash against an Apotheosis Realm opponent. Out of nowhere, though, Village Chief Bu ran over to shield Mu Yu.
“Nobody is to harm Mu Yu!” Village Chief Bu aimed his hands at Third Heaven Palace’s trio, though he was not sure if he could do anything. “I’ll trust you any day. I can tell if you’re an imposter or not from the look in your eyes. I may be old, but I’m not senile!”
“Now that’s the gramps I know.”
“Why would you expect any less from me? Mu Yu, are you sure they’re bad guys? They don’t look the part.”
“Gramps, look at that one’s eyes. Do those eyes look like a hero of justice’s eyes?”
When he checked carefully, Village Chief Bu could see through the concealment technique hiding Palace Guardian’s scarlet eyes. “Oh, so these three are the white chicken monsters. Don’t worry. You were scared of lightning when you were a kid, but I can protect you now. I’ll zap them into their graves.”
“Wh-white chicken monsters?” stuttered Mu Yu, recalling the ludicrous story of the white chicken monster that could slyly welcomed itself into their family and then duped Village Chief Bu into believing Mu Yu was a bad kid. Nevertheless, the two saw through the ploy in the end and worked together to end the monster.
“Yeah, I won’t be fooled as I was in the story.”
Mu Yu stepped up in line with Village Chief Bu. “Gramps, don’t use it recklessly. Follow my orders, or you’ll waste it. Our days will be numbered if you waste it.”
Gu Ke, as concerned about the lightning skill as Palace Guardian, inquired, “Sir, what do we do now?”
“There’s no point pretending anymore. We’ll just take them both in. The only thing we need to be wary of is the lightning skill. Whatever other domain Mu Yu has up his sleeve is inconsequential. All we need to do is watch out for the lightning attack and evade it.”
“Understood!”
Xi Hongyi summoned his nine red beads, while Gu Ke summoned his ten red beads, the red coming from blood and qi they absorbed from cultivators and then refined into anti-Mu-Yu weapons. By this point in time, all of Third Heaven Palace’s members were equipped with the Reverse Blood Flow technique to negate Mu Yu’s Ultimate Concealment Bloody Guardian formation.
“They’ve finally revealed their true forms!” exclaimed Village Chief Bu, frightened upon seeing the true forms of Xi Hongyi and Gu Ke.
“Calm down, Gramps.” Mu Yu cast a formation over Village Chief Bu and himself.
“Mu Yu, I might miss. What if I hurt you?”
“If you follow my instructions, we’ll be fine.”
Mu Yu pulled Village Chief Bu back with him using the eight trigrams diagram at their feet, while their opponents moved around to keep the duo inside their circle.
“Okay, okay,” responded Village Chief Bu, sweating bullets.
“Trust me, Gramps. Trust me. I’ll get you out of here for sure.”
“I do trust you.”
Both Mu Yu and Third Heaven Palace’s trio were aware that Village Chief Bu only had one last lightning blast, so both teams were performing mental gymnastics every second.
“Gramps, as long as you stay in the village, they can’t do anything to you, so my goal is to escort you there or nearby,” Mu Yu informed, deliberately moving toward Waterstream Village.
“What are you going to do? I’m more than willing to go down protecting you.”
“I have my own way out.”
Palace Envoy was not all brawn and no brains; Mu Yu’s intent was as clear as day to him. Palace Envoy cast his deployed his domain, blocking off the path back to Waterstream Village and then whipped his hand, turning his beads into silver stars. Gu Ke and Xi Hongyi used that as the cue to get out of the way.
“Soul Style Luo Sound – Mad Darkness Seven Ends!”
As blood and qi coated the stars upon deployment of the domain ability, seven white snakes hundreds of metres long emerged in a row.
