Battle of the Elites
“Shifu!” Gu Yitian raced over to check on Daoist Boyang’s condition, confirming the latter was unharmed.
“I’m okay. This young lady rescued me and defused the formation on me,” assured Daoist Boyang, although taxed.
“Thank you. Thank you…” expressed Gu Yitian.
“Don’t thank me. Mu Yu was the one who entrusted me with the task and the one who taught me how to defuse their control. Take care of your shifu.” Tian Ran beamed and then rendezvoused with Mu Yu.
“You sure took your time,” Mu Yu teased.
“You have some nerve criticising me when I had to fight Tian Houyang and Tian Yuanwan at the same time.” Tian Ran teased Mu Yu with an extra tongue poke.
“Mu Yu would’ve had to fight Gu Yitian if you were a step late. While we were supposed to buy time for you to free Old Boyang, you made it just in the nick of time.” Xiaoshuai hopped onto Tian Ran’s shoulder and chomped on a drumstick insouciantly.
“Those two from Third Heaven Palace aren’t pushovers. Speaking of which, shadowless race would be valuable informants with their intelligence gathering ring,” commented Tian Ran.
“Divine Maiden, your rapid progress is almost enough to earn my respect.” Lu Mingyuan targeted Tian Ran with his bloodlust.
“Since Tian Ran has joined the party” – Wanwan turned to Qi Xiangsheng and Lu Mingyuan – “What is the lineup?”
“Miss Tian Ran, could I ask you to take care of my Shifu?” requested Gu Yitian. “I would like to personally avenge my shifu.”
Tian Ran turned to Mu Yu, who ordered, “Xiaoshuai, take care of Daoist Boyang. We’ve got a ball to dance for.”
“All right.” Xiaoshuai flew onto Daoist Boyang’s shoulder. “I’ll cheer you from the sidelines.’
Gu Yitian, of course, did not know anything about Xiaoshuai. Nonetheless, he trusted Mu Yu’s judgement.
“You four think you can rescue everyone in this city?”
“We never said we’re the rescue force,” Mu Yu clarified.
As Mu Yu and company unleashed their energy, all the denizens froze, afraid they would be killed in the crossfire of the imminent clash.
“Hahaha, just in time.”
“Wu Yuzhou, you kept us waiting.” Lu Mingyuan turned to face ultimate immortal rank five, Wu Yuzhou, another member of Third Heaven Palace.
“I brought help.” Wu Yuzhou looked at Mu Yu and company derogatorily.
The fourth member of Third Heaven Palace’s entrance drew all eyes up – Palace Guardian! Palace Guardian sarcastically conveyed, “Thanks for saving me the trouble of hunting you, Mu Yu.”
“Three ugly freaks only means you have more ugly points,” disparaged Wanwan, still smiling and marginalising Palace Guardian.
“I thought you’d be hiding in a burrow, Mu Yu,” slighted Palace Guardian.
“I thought you lot were too busy trying to get face jobs that you didn’t dare to show your faces until you didn’t blind people,” Mu Yu jabbed, drawing Shadow Splitter Sword and tapping Empyrean Revelation with it.
Monitoring Mu Yu and Tian Ran, since he knew what they were doing, Palace Guardian denounced, “You won’t be leaving this city alive! I won’t give you a chance to use your celestial swords!”
Palace Guardian immediately cut Mu Yu off from the firmament just as he did during their first encounter. “There goes your celestial swords, kekeke.”
Even though his laughter was anything but nice to the ear, besides the Four Ascension Realm cultivators, everyone else heard his laughter as the hearty laugh of a hero. Palace Guardian finished up his dome barrier, confining everyone.
