Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1081

Bolt!

Splash! Dian Wei terminated the splash of qi fired from above effortless. When he turned back to Archfiend Baiyuan, though, the latter was gone. “A ruse!” Dian Wei peered in the direction of two energy signals travelling in the opposite direction to him.

“You two go after them!” commanded Hun Gaoyue. Because Archfiend Baiyuan was an immortal of Second Heaven, it did not matter if he escaped. Mu Yu, to the contrary, had to be captured.

“Let go! They have Tiangan!” raged Archfiend Baiyuan.

“Shut your potty mouth. You’re just going to get yourself killed,” admonished Mu Yu.

“You looking down on m-, argh!”

“Exactly. You can’t even push me off, let alone save him.”

“Don’t you dare make like of m-, argh!” Archfiend Baiyuan barely lifted his arm to slap Mu Yu, only to have to lower it.

Xiaoshuai hopped onto Archfiend Baiyuan’s head to heal the latter with his tail. “I’m disillusioned with you. I thought you could squash those three Apotheosis Realm insects with one hand.”

“That’s only because they ambushed me. I’ll show you how I crush them with one punch next time.”

Mu Yu bolted for a forest once he was out of Mystic Spirit Sect’s terrain in order to take advantage of the trees. “Why are you the only one here for Archfiend Tiangan?”

“Third Heaven Palace and us were competing to find him first, so splitting up was the quickest way to locate him. It’s all your fault!”

“Are you sick in the head? Why is it my fault you walked into an ambush?”

“If you brought back Hai Dongqing’s heart earlier, I would’ve beaten them to the punch.”

“Are the two matters related somehow?”

“Of course they are. Hai Dongqing knew where Tiangan was sealed because they were together. Your stupid shifu just had to seal Tiangan first.”

“Bring my shifu into this, and I’ll drop you where I stand. How do you know all this? I thought you were guarding Hai Dongqing’s sealed location.” Mu Yu kicked off a tree, expediting the growth of the banyan tree behind them to hide their traces.

“Hai Dongqing is already awake.”

“Already? Doesn’t that mean Xiang Nan passed his heart on to you?”

“He didn’t even give me thin air! Hai Dongqing is still without his h-, ouch. Hey, you trying to kill me, little guy?”

“How did he wake up without his heart?” Xiaoshuai squeezed Archfiend Baiyuan’s wound to excrete the soul energy preventing his wound from closing. If it was no for Archfiend Baiyuan’s robust body, he would have already been a log on the ground.

“Xiang Nan must’ve transfused spirit energy into Hai Dongqing’s heart,” Mu Yu proposed.

“Exactly. That’s the only right thing your senior has done. The first thing Hai Dongqing did upon coming to was telling me where Tiangan was held, which is why I raced here.”

“You’re okay with leaving behind Hai Dongqing?”

“He broke free of his seal once he came to. That reminds me: you lied to me about reinforcing the seal. It didn’t take any effort to break at all.”

Mu Yu designed the seal to weaken only once Hai Dongqing came to. He did not tell Archfiend Baiyuan how weak the seal was in case the latter’s patience did not hold up.

“So, where is he now?”

“Went back to our territory. He’ll be stuck in a slumber since he doesn’t have his heart. I can’t understand what your senior is thinking. Either way, he better not mess with me. I need to call for backup now that Third Heaven Palace has their hands on Tiangan. Ow, ease up, little guy!” Archfiend Baiyuan hissed as Xiaoshuai put his ribs back into place.

“You’re not going anywhere.”

“Damn it!” Mu Yu had Wood Spirit spawn a green wall of trees to block the soul energy razing the forest up ahead from vanquishing them. Alas, the barrier did not hold up against the Apotheosis Realm adept, forcing Mu Yu to change directions.

“Curse them! I want to squash them so badly!” fumed Archfiend Baiyuan.

“That attitude is exactly what landed you in the ambush in the first place. Were you the one who posed as someone from Third Heaven Palace to question Daoist Zhanlang yesterday?” Mu Yu gritted his teeth and pushed forward at maximum speed, yet it was not enough to shake off the Apotheosis Realm adept.

“So what if it was? I swear I’ll punch their heads underground one day!”

“Here comes another one!” Xiaoshuai prompted.

Mu Yu steered in another direction. Alas, Dian Wei already generated a long wall of spiritual energy to trap them.

“I’d kill him with one spit if I was at full power!”

“Can you shut up? Your commentary isn’t helping me here,” Mu Yu cursed.

Mu Yu whipped up the biggest slash he could, amalgamating the heaven’s power with his own to slice open a gap to slip through. He then instinctively ducked his head, dodging a lack that would have ploughed through him by a hair’s breadth. Asking him to evade the long white whip that stung his back, as well, was too much to ask of him, sadly.

“Kgh!”

“You all right, jerk?” asked Archfiend Baiyuan.

“Still alive.” Mu Yu took advantage of the bestrewn trees to run off again.

“I’m just worried about Qiao Xue becoming a widow. I’ve wanted to crush you for the longest time. If it wasn’t for you coming to s-”

“Shut. Up. How about offering a solution to get out of this mire? I can’t outrun two Apotheosis Realm monsters.”

Boom! A white beam blasted them off track again.
