An Immortal Master Kneels Before Village Chief Bu – Escape
“Oh… my… god…” uttered Village Chief Bu, never having seen anything so terrifying in his life.
As if the snake was not large enough that it was akin to fighting the sky, the snake was able to move anywhere at will thanks to Palace Guardian’s domain – Mad Darkness Seven Ends. The snakes inside the domain exposed their heads, but their body could teleport anywhere in the domain, meaning they could attack from anywhere at any time. As such, Mu Yu and Village Chief Bu were akin to a ball bouncing off one wall to hit another wall.
“Gramps, blast them only when I tell you to!”
“Got it.”
Mu Yu was fortunate Palace Guardian had qualms about closing in due to Village Chief Bu’s lightning skill. Otherwise, Mu Yu would not have had any chance of keeping up with the snake’s speed.
Mu Yu cast a green formation on Village Chief Bu’s hands, transferring the lightning into the formation, condensing it inside whist trying not to let the snake chomp him. Mu Yu strategically moved them until they had Third Heaven Palace’s trio in one line.
“Now!” Mu Yu called.
“Take this!”
Village Chief Bu shut his eyes as he fired off a lightning blast, defusing Palace Guardian’s domain. Gu Ke, who was at the forefront of the trio, had no time to dodge; however, Palace Guardian grabbed his two subordinates and bolted away before the violent blast could zap them all.
Third Heaven Palace’s trio emerged once the dust settled, clothing frayed. Gu Ke, whose lower body was charred black, howled, “Argh! I need sacrifices to replenish my soul energy!”
“The denizens of Moyun Mountains don’t leave behind soul energy when they’re killed because of Sword Shadow Dust Gale. You’ll have to wait until we get out of Moyun Mountains,” wrathfully stated Palace Guardian.
“Sir, they fled that way,” Xi Hongyi notified, pointing to the east.
“They’re not getting away,” asserted Palace Guardian. “Waterstream Village is the other way. This next exchange will be our last. After them!”

Mu Yu, having activated bloodlust energy to go faster, had to carry Village Chief Bu, who could not keep up as an ordinary human, on his back as he ran for dear life.
“M-Mu Yu, why is your body so frosty?”
“Xiaoshuai, a hand please!”
Xiaoshuai hopped onto Village Chief Bu’s shoulder to lather the latter with spiritual energy, reducing the cold sensation from Mu Yu.
“They’re catching up! At this rate, they’ll catch up in fifteen minutes!” Xiaoshuai exclaimed.
“Yeah? The countdown isn’t helping! I’d prefer an idea!” Mu Yu replied.
Mu Yu refused to run to Crouching Tiger Mountain as the elemental demons residing there did not want to be involved with the world’s conflicts.
“I’m sorry, Mu Yu. You should leave me and run.”
“Don’t give me that nonsense now, Gramps. You never abandoned me, yet you think I can abandon you?”
“I’m glad to hear that from you,” conveyed Village Chief Bu, fastening his arms around Mu Yu’s neck.
“I hope you’re not glad they’ve caught up!” Xiaoshuai shouted.
Emerging from a void kilometres behind Mu Yu, Palace Guardian deployed his domain again, laughing. “Let’s see how you escape without your lightning skill.”
Mu Yu deployed Ocean Archfiend’s domain – My Lord, Undulate. This time, he tried his best to limit the circumference of the domain to less than ten metres, thwarting the white snake’s dive. Owing to the domain’s ability, Third Heaven Palace’s velocity diminished upon entering the domain, gifting Mu Yu a small window to create more distance.
“You can stall me, but you can’t stop me!” snapped Palace Guardian, muscling his way through Mu Yu’s domain in no time.
“God, he’s barely a hundred metres behind our rears now!” Xiaoshuai informed.
“And… now!” Mu Yu used up whatever remained of Ocean Archfiend’s domain, invoking a three-kilometre-tall ocean wall that was, at least, a hundred metres thick.
“Looking down on Ocean Archfiend is stupid, stupid!” Mu Yu insulted, referring to Ocean Archfiend’s domain’s second ability.
Besides losing speed due to having to swim in water, Palace Guardian was also trapped inside a bubble. The bad news was that, since the domain was deployed on Palace Guardian, Xi Hongyi and Gu Ke had free rein to pursue Mu Yu. Worse, Mu Yu had depleted the majority of his spiritual energy to slow down Palace Guardian.
“He’s running low on energy. You’re an Ascension Realm Eighth Layer cultivator, and I’m still in fighting condition. He’s dead,” raged Gu Ke, intercepting Mu Yu.
“M-Mu Yu, can you beat two of them at once?” questioned Village Chief Bu.
“We’re about to find out,” Mu Yu answered, unsure, frankly speaking.
Mu Yu was already grateful there was not anyone around for the two to obtain soul energy from and that “My Lord, Undulate” would buy him at least an hour to finish the two.
