Self-Destruct
“Let go, or his notes will shatter your soul,” urged Archfiend Baiyuan.
Mu Yu held on for dear life, waiting for the musical notes to lose their power after their peak. At long last, Dian Wei’s domain began to crumble, which Mu Yu capitalised on, stinging Dian Wei’s left arm with a slash.
Enraged, Dian Wei uncorked a palm blast, erasing Mu Yu’s technique and tagging him.
“Still not dead?” remarked Archfiend Baiyuan.
Practically wheezing, Mu Yu could sense another Apotheosis Realm signal closing in, while his sword had run out of bonus power. “Done. Let’s go!”
“Done? You merely gave him a scratch!” argued Archfiend Baiyuan.
“You really think your sword is so am-” – Dian Wei looked down to the scratch on his arm – “What did you do?!”
Qi brimming with life flooded Dian Wei’s arm, swelling up his body as the qi aroused his soul energy beyond excessive levels that his body could contain.
“What’s he doing? Self-destructing? He stupid?” questioned Archfiend Baiyuan.
“Dian Wei, what are you doing?!” Hun Wuxiang arrived on the scene and immediately tried to stop Dian Wei.
Dian Wei opened his mouth in rhythm with his ballooning body. Alas, he lost the ability to talk as his skin began to split – a consequence of being overstretched. Boom! Despite running off at top speed, the shockwave generated from the devastating explosion still blew Mu Yu and company hundreds of kilometres into the depths of the valley Dian Wei created.
“I’m out.”
Mu Yu could barely open his eyes, let alone lift a muscle. Archfiend Baiyuan was nowhere in sight. Xiaoshuai used his spiritual energy to prevent rubble crushing Mu Yu underneath whilst digging his way up back to the surface.
“Mu Yu, your arms, legs, and chest are all broken,” exclaimed Xiaoshuai, assessing Mu Yu’s bloodied body and trying to piece Mu Yu together again.
“Even though I thought you were dangerous, you’re more dangerous than I thought,” commented Hun Wuxiang, deploying his formation again from the sky since he only took a little damage from the blast.
“Why didn’t he die?” Xiaoshuai stood in front of Mu Yu to guard his friend.
“It’s going to take more than that to kill me, though you deserve credit for defeating an Apotheosis Realm cultivator.” Dian Wei sent a white lantern to a mountain far off and blew it off. He then pried Archfiend Baiyuan out of the rubble with tentacles the lantern spawned, dumping Archfiend Baiyuan next to Mu Yu.
“I will kill you,” threatened Archfiend Baiyuan, drastically weakened after being hit again. “Jerk, you all right?”
“I-I don’t think so,” replied Mu Yu.
“We’ve decided to kill you so that you don’t sabotage our plans again.”
“He’s one of the immortals. If you kill him, you’ll also perish!” brayed Archfiend Baiyuan.
“We, of course, accounted for the consequences involved if we kill Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s disciple. His death won’t lead to this world’s collapse. I will collect his energy into my lantern.” Dian Wei brought out a lantern and released the souls at Mu Yu.
Archfiend Baiyuan cut in front to shield Mu Yu, only to be sent flying into the distance.
“You’re next. Just wait your turn,” slighted Hun Wuxiang.
Xiaoshuai hauled Mu Yu as fast as he could. Unfortunately, Hun Wuxiang effortlessly caught up and kicked him away. With Mu Yu in his grasp, Hun Wuxiang snickered. “I’ll reunite you with your brothers. I won’t keep you waiting for too long.”
Hun Wuxiang planted a soul lantern into Mu Yu’s chest, torturing Mu Yu from the inside. Mu Yu’s consciousness faded as the pain occupied every thought he tried to distract himself with.
Whoosh! A sudden surge of energy swept away Mu Yu’s pain. His Primordial Yin Yang started to spin, merging with his soul when he was teetering between life and death. Primordial Yin Yang started to reverse the damage inflicted.
“Since you’re hurting my son, I take it that you’re prepared for the consequences.”
