Sword Formation

After Mu Yu cut the humanoid in two, turning it to black qi, the black qi regenerated back in no time, except there were now two of them. The two unleashed lightning sword qi slashes in the form of a dragon and tiger.

Is this what they call a sword formation?

Mu Yu retaliated, expecting to catch the two strikes, yet they deftly swerve out of his sword’s trajectory. What made it really amazing was that Dustfallen Swordplay’s eighth technique was supposed to be the worst enemy for astral entities, yet they outmanoeuvred him.

“Oh, I get it. The essence of sword formations is to equip your sword strikes with a mind of their own for maximum adaptability – nifty. Now, let’s see how deft you can be, shall we?”

Mu Yu intercepted the white dragon at the forefront, uncorking a mighty strike for he was sure that the white dragon couldn’t fend off the attack. Yet, the white dragon disappeared when his strike seemed to have ended it, stumping him. Sensing, an approaching blow from his left, he split Shadow Splitter Sword in two to thwart the attack.

Mu Yu had no time to pull off a second full-power strike at the incoming dragon, resulting in his loss in the exchange. He twisted as he flew through the air and slashed from right to left. The dragon teleported backward the instant before Mu Yu’s swing connected. Meanwhile, the white tiger jumped down from above.

I need to get out of the formation’s range, or I’m only going to be a punching bag. Mu Chenghong hid from me, but if Lethal Deity is the centre of the formation, I just need to retreat beyond a hundred metres to escape its range.

Or so he thought... Fly as he may, the white dragon and tiger tailed him, always remaining within their teleportation range.

What the heck? Am I the centre of the formation or something? Get lost. There’s no escaping it, then!

Another blast came from the dragon.

“I know what Greater Heaven Caster Lu meant when he said the requirements to get through this are ridiculously high!”

The white tiger cut Mu Yu off from the front, fangs just centimetres away from his head.

“Crud!”
