Ugly Beauty
“What the hell?! Why did you have to yell in the middle of a fight? Bloody gave me a fright,” Xiaoshuai cursed.
Mu Yu was more surprised she was still standing after taking his attack head on.
“Despicable humans, how dare you hurt our noble Lunar Deity?!” Chi Yue thundered, scowling as she began to transform.
Chi Yue’s bones cracked and cracked as scales started to cover her body bit by bit.
“Good god, she’s taking your number-one narcissist trophy from you, Xiaoshuai. Noble?!”
“Exactly. Not even I call myself noble. By the way, how is she transforming when she’s not a fiend? What’s with the swelling and scaly red wings on her back? Ugh, her face looks as if someone poured boiling water on it. Did she stick all her feathers from her wings on her face? That mouth looks like one thin, ugly beak. Oh my, those globes of hers were fake?! Nice going, Mu Yu, she only has one horn growing from her chest because you hacked one.”
“I think you need to stop calling whatever that is a ‘she’, and start calling it an ‘it’.”
“I’ve never seen a fiend as ugly. If it’s a fiend beast, I can’t identify it, either.”
“Who cares which type it is? We can think about it after I’m done hacking it!”Mu Yu attempted decapitation; however, Chi Yue flapped her wings, propelling her out of range.
“You will pay, Cultivator!” Chi Yue threatened, touching her snapped wound and grimacing.
Chi Yue ejected the sword qi Mu Yu blasted into her! Nonetheless, knowing his sword qi did damage, Mu Yu immediately cast Gentle Wind Interlinked Hearts Formation next to him so that Xiaoshuai could attack. Surprisingly, the dragon vine joined them.
“Where’s Elder Xu?”
“I told him to not move from where he is,” answered the dragon vine, pointing to a boulder in the distance, where Elder Xu fearfully peeked from.
“Stay hidden, Elder Xu,” instructed Mu Yu.
“Nice timing, Big Earthworm. Let’s chop off Ugly’s wings,” directed Xiaoshuai, sword at the ready.
“Why do we have to lop off the wings?” the dragon vine questioned,
Mu Yu had Shadow Splitter Sword assume Falling Dragon Roars form for the dragon vine to devour, morphing into another sword beside Xiaoshuai.
“Don’t you reckon those wings would taste nice grilled?”
“How do you even drool over that monstrosity? That things been bathed in corpse water!”
“I reckon I could replicate braised ribs with them. I was able to recreate the taste with chickens we caught in the mountain.”
“Really? Braised ribs? Count me in.”
“You two not worried about having an upset stomach eating that? Why don’t we just stick to catching chickens, shall we? Damn, I got caught up in your drivel.”
Chi Yue swooped back over and fired a red beam from her remaining horn.
“Braised ribs!”
The dragon vine blasted Chi Yue’s red blast back with a green sword. The red energy, instead of dissipating, coiled around the sword, then swallowed it.
“Spicy wings!”
Xiaoshuai scared off the corpse water with his lightning sword. Nevertheless, Chi Yue staunchly fired a red blast at Mu Yu, and let it explode, generating threads around him. It didn’t take Mu Yu more than a second to hack away at them, but that was enough time for Chi Yue to turn the long horn at her chest into a sharp weapon.
“I’d let you touch me if you were trying to slam those mounds in my face, but I don’t want that sharp thing in my face.”
Mu Yu slashed in a horizontal motion and started Regenesis again. Chi Yue created a yellow shield out of the bones in her river, one with a red shining eye on it. Mu Yu disregarded her shield and ploughed through, forcing her to let go and retreat a moment before he pierced through and evaporated a section of corpse water. The impact from his spear attack damaged the landscape terribly.
Owing to the power of the stab, Mu Yu panted heavily, knowing he’d need to wait for a few hours to execute the technique again.
“Tired? My turn!”
Chi Yue opened her small slit of mouth, revealing it was actually a ginormous one. She sucked rocks, wood and everything around in and washed it down with her own corpse water.
“Big Earthworm, hold the line for me while I puke.”
Chi Yue’s powers exceeded Spirit Severing Realm once she gulped down the water.
“Oh, crud, we need to stop her from drinking anymore!” Mu Yu commanded
With a protruding gut, Chi Yue belched, demonstrating her toxic breath technique. The yellow gas she projectile vomited back out send Mu Yu flying, while Xiaoshuai and the dragon vine were at the mercy of the corpse water.
“You two all right?”
Mu Yu went to wash off the filth using his spiritual energy, only to discover it was draining away his spiritual energy. Every attempt to utilise any would be sucked away instantly. That, of course, resulted in him free falling into the valley.
“Can’t fly anymore? Time to die, then!”
Mu Yu torqued hard. Alas, the sharp horn still caught his shoulder as he turned.
“I’m not done yet!”
Chi Yue used Mu Yu’s back as a launch pad, driving him down faster with her feet. Her water took on the form of a skeleton and opened its mouth to catch Mu Yu!
