Two Celestial Swords
“Ghost Hand Sky Sealer!”
Gui Mohan and his three allies protected Ghost Flag in their host qi straight away. The poltergeists inside started their riot, but the trio was strong enough to withstand their voices. Ghouls merged into a white bone hand.
Ghost Hand Sky Sealer – Ghost Flag’s domain!
Waves of qi collided with the mammoth bony hand similarly to waves crashing onto shore. Had the domain not locked down the area, Mu Yu and Tian Ran would have had blasted through the defence. The four felt blood come up to their throats, while Mu Yu and Tian Ran felt as though spiritual energy just gushed out of their bodies.
“Ghost Gathering!”
Gui Mohan stepped into the centre and discharged his qi, white souls orbiting around him. The others called out their refined ghouls and had their ghouls orbit around Gui Mohan, as well, boosting Gui Mohan’s power level. Gui Mohan then ushered the ghouls into his Ghost Flag.
“Ghost Hand Sky Sealer!”
Gui Mohan cast his domain again, spawning the bony hand a second time. The hand condensed the air in the atmosphere, spurring the ghouls around to cry as it stopped the might of the two celestial swords. Of course, casting the domain a second time when they had yet to recover took a toll on Ghost Gate’s group just as it did for Mu Yu as well as Tian Ran.
“Hargh!”
Gui Mohan tried to swat Mu Yu and Tian Ran with the bony hand.
“Tian Ran, you know the nine celestial swords are split off from a single sword?” Mu Yu asked, viewing Tian Ran’s pure and genuine thoughts that included him as part of her family.
A smile bloomed on Tian Ran’s face. “I do. My mother told me.”
“My point is, we should also be able to merge our two swords.”
“You better teach me now while we have time, then.”
The clouds swirled again as the two pointed their blades to the ether, merging the two twisters they generated into one. Their qi on their swords illuminated the skies as they merged into a limpid-green sword, adopting the vitality of Shadow Splitter Sword and clear energy of Empyrean Revelation Sword!
The sky shook. The qi burst. Swords scattered. Lightning flashed. Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts’ ninth technique created a rift in the firmament. The air parted. The earth shook. Shockwaves emanated. The bony hand fell apart, yet the qi continued on without a hindrance.
“Run!” belted Gui Mohan, taking his Ghost Flag with him.
Resembling cracked porcelain dolls, the qi that hit the three elders of Ghost Gate, who were unable to bolt in time, leaked out from said cracks until they were shredded.
“Mu Yu, you will pay for this!” threatened Gui Mohan, aiming to escape.
Xiaoshuai flitted across the sky, intercepting Gui Mohan to the latter’s surprise. Gui Mohan looked down to his chest upon feeling a strange sensation. Only then did he realise Xiaoshuai’s claws were holding onto his heart.
“You’re going to run after all that prattling?”
“How did you penetrate my Ghost Shield?”
Xiaoshuai caught Gui Mohan’s soul when the latter’s soul attempted to slip away. “Ghosts run from me. What’s a ghost shield going to do to stop me?”
“Begone!” Mu Yu, catching up to Gui Mohan, ran Shadow Splitter Sword from one side of Gui Mohan’s neck to the other in one straight line, then exploded Gui Mohan’s body with a shot of qi he administered to the latter’s insides!
