Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 994

A Skull as a Formation Foundation

Mu Yu swept away the weak skeletons with his swing, but the Ascension Realm skeletons absorbed everything he had to offer. Conversely, their attacks forced him into a reactive position, and the fact that they did not have a stamina cap, as well as having the numbers advantage, allowed them to use suppressive fighting tactics.

Though the skeletons did not have the intellect to work out they were caught in formations, Granny Meng noticed the formation’s presence once she set foot in Mu Yu’s Mirror Formation, so she could counter them with her blue and red energy.

When Ghost Gate’s patriarch’s skeleton punched his arm through the air to claw Mu Yu’s face, the shockwave generated from his acceleration was enough to defuse Mu Yu’s Hundred Faces Illusion Formation!

“Tsk, tsk, what a young man. Dear, he, admittedly, looks a lot more handsome than you.”

“You give me goose bumps, old hag,” scoffed Mu Yu, wiping his face as though her licking gesture ruined his face.

“Who are you?” Elder Meng queried.

“Does it look like time for an identity check? How about you tell me how to counter this Ultimate Yin Body Devouring Skill?” Mu Yu ribbed.

“Young man, it’s impossible for you to win against her in here. The yin energy in here is practically infinite, and her technique is a yin-based technique. You’re on her home turf.”

“I can’t run anywhere if I leave this place!”

“Help me assemble my body parts, then. I can negate her skill with Ultimate Yang Body Devourer.”

“Kekeke, Dear, you want your complete body? You mustn’t be so delusional.” Granny Meng hit the staircase with a wave of Ultimate Yin Body Devourer, thereby sabotaging the plan.

“Well, there goes that,” Mu Yu muttered to himself, not surprised.

“You wench!”

“Keke, don’t worry. Once I apprehend the kid, Gui Huanyin will fix the entrance for me.”

Mu Yu vaulted behind Elder Meng to run from Granny Meng’s next blast. Elder Meng opened his mouth and absorbed the blast without taking damage to Mu Yu’s astonishment.

“How did you do that?”

“If I couldn’t, she would’ve sealed me away as dust already. Her Ultimate Yin Body Devourer technique doesn’t work on me,” replied Elder Meng.

“What makes your body special?”

“I used a thousand cultivators’ vitality fire to refine my body, so vitality fires don’t faze me.”

“I could call you out for the same things you call her out for.”

“I never claimed to be a warrior of justice.”

“I can’t say I’m much better. Wait. I know! I can get you out of here, but I’ll need your help!” Mu Yu cast a formation on Elder Meng’s head and sped off with the opponent’s hot on his trail.

“You trust me even though I’m from Life and Death Sect?”

“You want out of this hellhole, and I want to destroy the twins piled up here. Both goals require the old witch to die, so we share a common goal, yeah?”

Elder Meng laughed through his nose. “If I escape, I’ll do you a favour in return.”

“All of your other parts are in here besides your hands, right?”

Mu Yu whipped out a formation from his sword – Mirror Formation – to slow down his pursuers for a split second, affording him enough time to accelerate away. He furtively cast a green formation to travel into a void.

“She sealed my body parts in different locations in here. I won’t die in this state as long as I’m here, but I’ll perish as soon as I’m outside.”

“Since you’ve refined your body with vitality fire, I’ll need to borrow your skull’s vitality.”

“What do you plan to do?”

“I’m going to use your skull as a formation foundation. I’ll need you to supply vitality at the same time.”

Mu Yu had Elder Meng thwart Granny Meng’s next attack while Mu Yu swatted the endless horde of skeletons that she did not control.

“If I run out of vitality, I’ll turn into the same thing as the rest of the skeletons and be the old hag’s puppet. You trying to expedite my demise?” snapped Elder Meng.

“I’ll recover your body before you’re depleted. I’m sure you know how to replenish your vitality. If you don’t work with me, you’re never getting out of here. Is that any different to dying?”

“Fine! You better keep your promise, though.”

“I’m a certified promise keeper.”

Mu Yu cast a formation on Elder Meng’s skull, while the latter offered up his vitality for the simple Spirit Collection Formation that he merged with his sword’s qi, giving it fire properties. Mu Yu swivelled around and splashed it onto Ghost Gate’s patriarch’s twin.

“Told you your attacks won’t work on us, kekeke.”

Ghost Gate’s patriarch’s twin’s Ultimate Yin Body Devourer technique failed to absorb Mu Yu’s qi, resulting in Mu Yu’s energy wave halving it!

“Dear, are you tired of life? You want to go down with me?”

“The last thing I’m going to do is go down with you!”

Mu Yu redirected the green vitality fire from his sword to Granny Meng, compelling the latter to throw a skeleton in the way as a shield while she descended as fast as she could.
