Mopping the Floor
Right when all hope seemed lost, a golden lotus spawned overhead, and then a bright light came whizzing down at Xi Hongyi.
“Secular World Sect’s divine maiden?” blurted Xi Hongyi, upon seeing Tian Ran encroach upon him with her revolving lotuses. “I thought you were dead!”
Xi Hongyi quickly dashed back to slip away from Empyrean Revelation. “A mere Ascension Realm Third Layer peon can unleash such lethal attacks all thanks to one celestial sword. Nonetheless, you alone won’t make any difference.”
“You?” remarked Shangguan Lin, still alert.
“You know me?” Tian Ran queried.
“It is an honour to meet Secular World Sect’s divine maiden and Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s relative. Our reinforcements will soon be here. We just need to buy enough time, and Xi Hongyi’s reign of tyranny will end here! Miss Tian Ran, please do not kill her as she is my junior.”
“Understood.” Murong Yun definitely had the cultivation advantage, but Empyrean Revelation levelled the playing field.
“The only thing her joining you will do is adding another number in my win column,” pontificated Xi Hongyi, spinning his nine white beads around him.
“I smell manure coming from your mouth.”
Xi Hongyi looked up to see Mu Yu descending. “Mu Yu? Haha, you fled with your tail between your legs last time, and you think you can stop me this time?”
“Never said I was going to stop you. I’m going to kill you.”
“Hahaha, without Revealing Cauldron, without a domain, without Mount Dustfallen’s formation, what makes you think you have any chance?”
Still monitoring the opponents, Shangguan Lin urged, “Mu Yu isn’t a match for him, Miss Tian Ran. We need to work together.”
Tian Ran did not respond.
Xi Hongyi condescendingly watched Mu Yu hold his sword up and then sighed. “Come on. You can chop boards, but what are you hoping to do against me?” Xi Hongyi continued levitating confidently while forming a corporeal seal behind him until…
From the time it took Mu Yu to condense energy and bring it down, it only took as much as a split second. By the time Xi Hongyi noticed the imminent danger and looked up, he did not even have time to express his shock on his face for he was already in pieces, ready for Mu Yu to vaporise.
“You’d think you’d have wised up after Celestial Star Sect and Ghost Gate’s downfall, yet your ego is still too big for your head.” Mu Yu reeled in his sword and sheathed his sword prior to making his way to Murong Yun’s back.
Seeing Mu Yu prepare two fingers to poke Murong Yun in the back of the head, Shangguan Lin pleaded, “Please spare her! She is part of our shadowless race!”
Mu Yu transmitted a formation into Murong Yun’s mind from his finger. “I was just dismantling the formation controlling her.”
Shangguan Lin hurried over to catch a weak Murong Yun’s fall. “May I ask why you are here, Mu Yu?”
Mu Yu showed his shadowless sect token. “This guided me here.”
“You were the one emitting the signal? I thought it was our reinforcements.”
“Bai Yetian was the one who gave me this token. I thought it would lead me to him.”
Shangguan Lin rested Murong Yun on a bed of spiritual energy. “Once you inject spiritual energy into the token, it will automatically search for the closest token. We use it to communicate. Thanks to your intercession, we have been saved.”
“Damn straight you’re lucky!” remarked Xiaoshuai. “Is Xiang Nan at your Levelwater City or not? Answer the question you shadowless uh… shadowless people!”
