Chapter 176

Murder

Regret sneaked its way into the breathless audience’s brains that stopped moving for a brief moment. Mu Yu stood still, eyes closed, right arm fractured and still in an empty spirit state. The fight triggered his spiritual energy quality’s change. The clash against the Kuai Jian led him to the answer he sought. His damaged meridians rapidly healed.

“He’s ascending! Kill him now!” shouted Pill Cauldron Sect’s Shi Yun.

Kuai Jian and Man Jian brought the best out in each other when they fought as a team. Accordingly, as soon as Man Jian broke free of Mu Yu’s poison, he charged Mu Yu. “You’re dead!”

Alone in his own world, focusing on ascending, Mu Yu was oblivious to the encroaching danger. The dragon vine charged Man Jian and sprayed a blast. Man Jian sliced the blast and kicked the dragon vine back, sending it crashing into Mu Yu. Blood ejected from Mu Yu’s mouth whilst his consciousness was plunged into darkness.

Shi Yun and others blasted off toward the dragon vine.

“What’s your issue with killing cultivators? I keep telling you it’s good riddance. Look at them. They want everything. They’re the plague of this world.” The thrilled voice of the wood demon reverberated in Mu Yu’s mind as it took over his body.

Right before the moment Mu Yu crashed into the ground, Xiaoshuai pulled him by the collar and struggled up into the air, reducing the impact slightly.

“I shall avenge my junior!” snapped Man Jian.

“Stop! Stop!” called Mu Yu, forcing the white and black glows out from his eyes.

The six shocked survivors watched the black and white lights return to Mu Yu’s eyes.

“It’s my duty to slay cultivators,” the voice in Mu Yu’s head asserted.

“It’s not,” Mu Yu inwardly disputed. “They have their reasons for existing. Give me back my body.”

“Your naivety will cost us our lives. Did you not see them try to kill us?”

“I can kill them on my own!”

Mu Yu grabbed his head and grimaced as he fell to the ground. Curled up, he rolled around on the ground as he tried to wrestle over command of his body. People headed over to his location after hearing his grunts. The dragon vine leveraged their moment of distraction to rush back to his side.

The six cultivators gave each other a nod. Shi Yun summoned his magical weapon and launched an attack at Mu Yu.

“Hmph.”

A hand slithered out from nowhere and broke the magical weapons of the six. The party crasher effortlessly sent the six flying with an effortless, fatal swing. The party crasher than performed a hand sweep, taking Mu Yu, Xiaoshuai and the dragon vine with him.
