Over Before He Knew It

“Hehe, Formation Sect’s disciples do impress. I expected my comrades to have finished you.”

Emerging from a yellow stream of light was a savage youth. He was the same Body Severing Realm youth Mu Yu saw accompanying Zhou Jinglin when he tailed Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai.

Southern Star Taoist Temple became a collection charred wood and blazing ocean. Vision was blurred.

Green talisman patterns spread across Gu Fei and Jing Yucheng’s bodies. Their blank eyes were a sign they had lost awareness of what they were doing.

“Divine Soul Talisman isn’t something two measly Golden Core Realm brats could escape, yet you did. I can see why you are a Greater Heaven Stage disciple candidate, hihihi.”

In control of his emotions, Mu Yu responded, “It is quite flattering to have a Body Severing Realm talisman master come after me.”

“I want to know how Formation Sect intends to have a Golden Core Realm Greater Heaven Stage disciple win against us,” the youth ridiculed with a smile.

“Hahaha, Ol’ Nan Xing, I have all of your disciples under my control. Surrender now!” He Tianqiang demanded.

“He Tianqiang, you don’t have a silver of chivalry!” Daoist Nan Xing insulted.

Mu Yu descended down to the broken-down wall. Daoist Nan Xing, who crawled out of debris, wobbled over to Mu Yu as fast as he could. Daoist Nan Xing was bleeding and fading fast. Seeing Mu Yu as his hope, he asked, “Where is Heaven Caster Ma?”

“You looking for this one?” questioned the youth.

Ma Mingxun came out from the corner, chest bleeding and wearing a stoic visage. Daoist Nan Xing immediately went down on his knees to kowtow. “Heaven Caster, please help us. I swear to do anything I can to repay you. Please help us!”Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

Mu Yu grabbed Daoist Nan Xing’s shoulder to stop the elder kowtowing and informed, “Don’t waste your breath. He’s under their control already.”

“You already failed your mission if you sent a Primordial Infant Realm old man to kill me.” Mu Yu extended his arm and pulled it back swiftly without sparing He Tianqiang a look.

He Tianqiang’s lips curled down in synchrony with his neck flexing down to look at his neck. He felt a chilling sensation worse than anything he’d ever felt. The death qi rapidly destroyed his internal organs and devoured his conscious. “How did I...”

Thud! He Tianqing never moved from the ground again.

The youth’s smile flitted off his face.

At the incandescent and enigmatic Third Heaven Palace, there were two mountainous divine monuments, one black and one white. The white monument had glittering green freckles. Whenever certain spots dimmed, others shone. The black monument had white freckles, albeit less than the green freckles.

“How’s the population on Third Continent today?” inquired Third Heaven Palace’s formation guardian scrutinising the white freckles.

“Your Eminence, 190,136 have died. 190,951 people were born.”

“Since more people were born than those who die, that means we can’t collect souls today?” rhetorically asked the formation guardian, unhappy.

The green freckles represented those who were born and passed away. Souls that were produced after death migrated to the bodies of those just born. Excess soul energy gradually travelled through various formations to make their way to the black monument. In other words, the white freckles were soul energy.

It had been a long time since the soul energy on the black monument had seen an increase.

“I think th-. Wait. Someone’s soul energy vanished after they died. This should not be happening! Why did they not produce soul energy?”

The formation guardian pulled his brows together. “One person didn’t produce soul energy?”

It was the first occurrence of that phenomenon. Nonetheless, one person less wasn’t a big deal, so the formation guardian ruled it as an exception to the rule. Little did they know Mu Yu killed He Tianqiang using death qi.
