Chapter 422
Formation Arts and Talisman Arts (Part 1)
“So you were hiding your true skills.”
“You would’ve killed him even if I didn’t,” Mu Yu commented, noticing he was noticeably delighted after committing murder.
“Indeed, you have my gratitude for that. You saved me the hassle.” The youth spared He Tianqiang an indifferent glance. As a Body Severing Realm Ninth Layer, he didn’t fear “Feng Mu”. Wearing a wrathful smile, he announced, “Remember this: I am Mo Ziming, rank seventy-one on Ultimate Immortals Ranking.”
“It’s pointless to remember the names of the dead.”
Mo Ziming stomped a crack in the ground and summoned eight purple talismans in an eight trigrams formation. He linked them up with spiritual energy, drawing spiritual qi toward the eight talismans for a power boost.
Mu Yu jumped out of Southern Star Taoist Temple as they’d have likely obliterated the entire place in their clash. He saw the disciples of Cloudriver Sect on standby, oblivious of their patriarch’s death.
“The rest of you, kill that old fool!” instructed Mo Ziming, pursuing Mu Yu.
With a single thrust from Mo Ziming, he drew Mu Yu’s lightning to his Three-legged Crow Langya. Mo Ziming manifested Purple Spirit Palm again to grab the spear with lightning enveloping it and, with a vigorous whip, threw the lightning off the spear and forked it into the ground. The moment of impact incinerated the forest.
“Nice spear.”
“You’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg, hihihi.”
The billowing winds boomed as Mo Ziming struck again. Mu Yu collected spiritual qi to his finger tips and morphed his four formation foundations into a shield.
Crack! One of Mu Yu’s formation foundations ran out, leaving the shield vulnerable to Mo Ziming’s stab. Mu Yu managed to back off the instant Mo Ziming penetrated his defence. Alas, the residue force hammered Mu Yu in the chest.
“Xiaoshuai, you all right?!”
“Damn it, that hurt my chrysanthemum, you mongrel!” Xiaoshuai popped out of Mu Yu’s shirt and demanded, “Break that poo-stirring stick!”
The formation foundations that Mu Yu just used were second-hand formation foundations from Greater Heaven Caster Lu. He gave them to Mu Yu since they could no longer support his Body Synthesis Realm techniques. Had Mu Yu truly been a Golden Core Realm disciple, he could’ve used them thousands, if not hundreds, of times. Hence, Mu Yu’s tactic and Greater Heaven Caster Lu’s kindness backfired on them.
Mu Yu did have more Greater Heaven Stage formation foundations. Unfortunately, they couldn’t substitute for they hadn’t been broken in. The risk of using swordplay was too high. If he didn’t finish Mo Ziming, the latter could’ve exposed him since nobody at Formation Sect specialised in swordplay. Given Talisman Sect and Celestial Star Sect’s business, it wouldn’t have been surprising if Tian Budai suspected him.
