Countermeasure
Mu Yu fled with Heavenly Star Formation as formations and qi attacks were out, leaving him with only Shadow Splitter Sword and Wood Spirit to fall back onto. As amazing as they were, he was not able to harness their full potential for as long as he was up against Walk-in Heart Switch.
Mu Yu created a wall of leaves using Wood Spirit to stall the monster. Chi Yue, therefore, came around the other side to spray the red beam. The water monster drove Wood Spirit back with its chains effortlessly and hunted Mu Yu perpetually. Though Mu Yu could defend using Wood Spirit, the impact wobbled him hard.
Could Walk-in Heart Switch be limited to this place? What if I get out of the tower? Mu Yu pondered, peering up to the tunnel he came from. Got to use Wood Spirit to climb into the rocks so that the water can wash me back up.
Mu Yu reversed toward the tunnel while warding off attacks from the monster.
“I see right through you, lowly human.” Chi Yue aimed the red beams at the black rocks Mu Yu headed toward, springing them to life with red eyes and hands.
Wait, didn’t Xie Bulao’s Six Evils also shoot red beams onto things to convert them? Is he connected to Walk-in Heart Switch? I’ll worry about it later.
“If you want to have a chance against Walk-in Heart Switch, you need to deal with Chi Yue first,” Ju Mang pointed out.
“Sure, and how the heck do I close the gap, genius?”
“Your weird spiritual energy.”
“As if. It can absorb the gravity water, but I don’t have complete control over it. I can’t afford to slip up!”
“You’re also dead if you don’t take the gamble. If you get it right, you can dump both qis in a dimensional barrier.”
“A dimensional barrier?” Mu Yu cast his gaze outside the formation, a place where one would be evaporated if they were careless.
“Life qi and death qi can’t corrode dimensions. You can use Wood Spirit. Although it can’t absorb either qi, it can coat them. Make a hole in the formation with the two and then dump them outside. You should be able to repair the formation with your knowledge and proficiency.”
“Let’s try my luck, then.” Mu Yu strafed another red beam and then spawned white energy in his left hand, black energy in his right hand.
“You’re nothing as a caged ant forced to fight!” slighted Chi Yue, disregarding Mu Yu’s black and white glow until it noticed what they were, though it brushed the idea of as a bout of irrational paranoia. “Take this!”
“Gladly.” Mu Yu unleashed black spiritual energy from his right hand in response to the incoming red beam.
“Hahaha, so you’re all t-”
The black whisk of smoke absorbed the red beam! Chi Yue, rejecting reality, blasted another red beam. Mu Yu extended his left hand, letting the life qi go. Subconsciously wary, Chi Yue hesitated to dial up the intensity of the beam or terminate it. As such, the red beam amplified the output of the red a hundred times!
“What are you, a magician? Hahaha. I think it’s time for you to beg for mercy. This is your only chance.”
“I wish someone would sew your mouth shut.”
