Gui Xiuluo
“Xiaoshuai, after her!”
“On it.”
Gui Xiuluo glanced at Xiaoshuai and deemed the latter unworthy of his time, turning back to Mu Yu. Gui Xiuluo shrouded his long scythe, prompting the vengeful souls within to escape, yet restraining them. “I heard you killed Gui Xuanyue.”
“You’ll be seeing him soon.”
Mu Yu bound forward and brought Shadow Splitter Sword down in an arch.
“Don’t compare me to trash.”
Gui Xiuluo repelled the slash with his scythe again and, simultaneously, had his mist infiltrate Mu Yu’s sword. Nonetheless, Mu Yu effortlessly flicked the qi out.
Snickering as he executed Eight Deities Ghost and Fiends, ejecting dark ghoul chains from his body, four of which consisted of Spirit Severing Realm human skeletons and four of which consisted of fiend beasts. The four fiend beasts were a nine-tailed fiend python, a bloody net wolf skyscorcher scorpion and a turtle ancestor running bear, all of which were level six fiend beasts.
Mu Yu created nine Shadow Splitter Swords and stowed them into voids, vanishing as he zoomed off. As he swung waves of sword qi at the skeletons, he sent them crumbling to the ground and then combined all of the active formations into his sword to strike down Gui Xiuluo himself. Yet, Gui Xiuluo managed to easily defend Mu Yu’s attack again.
“Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts impresses, but you’ll never overcome my Eight Deities Ghosts and Fiends, kekeke.”
Gui Xiuluo pieced the eight skeletons together again and tapped Mu Yu in the centre. Mu Yu demolished the skeletons again, only for them to come back stronger each time.
“Can’t kill them?”
“Kekeke, is that all you’ve got?”
“You villains all so busy coming up with schemes that you don’t have time to come up with new lines or something?”
Mu Yu activated a formation underfoot, spawning tree branches from Wood Sprit Sword. Gui Xiuluo disregarded the branches and asked, “You think you can counter my technique with illusion formations?”
“I’m not one of those characters who explains how his game plan works.”
Mu Yu waited for Wood Spirit Sword to take over the skeletons with death qi and then turned to deal with Gui Xiuluo.
Gui Xiuluo tried to command his eight skeletons, only to discover he couldn’t. It was too late for him to react to the tree branch extending its way down the chains, prompting him to severe the chains with his scythe, releasing ghost mist. He expected the ghost mist to corrode the branches, yet the branches absorbed the mist instead.
“Screw this!” Gui Xiuluo took off into a void.
“Don’t be so hasty. I haven’t gotten any pointers from you yet.” Mu Yu activated formations from his hand, spreading text across the immediate surroundings and forcing Gui Xiuluo out of his void. “
“Regenesis!”
Nine swords rose up, summoning nine white dragons above the clouds. As gales wreaked havoc, the nine swords fused together and zoomed down. Gui Xiuluo put up a desperate struggle to run. Alas, he couldn’t break free of the formation locking him down. Mu Yu impaled Gui Xiuluo through the shoulder, deliberately missing so that Gui Xiuluo could give him answers.
Gui Xiuluo chopped his arm off to escape Mu Yu’s sword and commanded his ghouls to buy him time to escape, bouncing off a golden energy platform.
“All of you bullies like to act like you’re hot and then run off. Is there some kind of textbook you all consume?”
Mu Yu triggered a formation above Gui Xiuluo, then cast it into the latter’s body – Divine Soul Formation. Mu Yu couldn’t hold Gui Xiuluo for long since the latter’s cultivation was superior, while the former didn’t have Formation Palace supporting him.
“What are you all here for? You want to slaughter the inhabitants again?”
“We are searching for Ghost Island?”
“Ghost Island?”
“You’re searching for it a year after Celestial Prison was removed?”
“We already sent a team there. We underestimated Ghost Island and lost a group already, which is why he decided to prepare more thoroughly before attempting to go there again. His Lordship will also join us, personally.”
“Who is ‘His Lordship’, and what is his cultivation level?”
“He is our sect’s Ascendance Realm guardian.”
You serious? If their guardian is already an Ascendance Realm guardian, what level must their patriarch be? Mu Yu wondered. “Why does your guardian have to personally head to Ghost Island?”
“There are lots of fiend souls and human souls – enough for His Lordship’s powers to ascend to the next level. There is another reason he is personally going, but he has not divulged it to anyone else.”
“Can your sect treat damage to one’s soul?”
“We can. His Lordship healed damage to his soul using a seven thousand year old dragon vine.”
