Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Cripple

“Mu Yu, someone will avenge me if I fall here. You can’t defeat Third Heaven Palace!” blustered Shi Dengtian, attempting to slice his neck with his knife hand.

“You will die, but you have debts to pay before you run off.” Mu Yu cast Divine Soul Formation on Shi Dengtian before the latter could end himself. He slowly plunged Shadow Splitter Sword into Shi Dengtian’s dantian.

“You… You…”

“Killing you for harming my dad, Alchemist Yao and Pill Cauldron sect isn’t punishing enough. I will grant you death after you pay for what you did. I want to see the survivors make your life miserable.”

Mu Yu stole a quick gander of those around and then teleported Shi Dengtian with him.

***

Inside Revealing Cauldron, which expanded itself to house over eight hundred people, Daoist Yuan Hua checked out the text on the walls. Daoist Yuan Hua did not stop the others from studying the cauldron as it would benefit the sect if they did.

“This is our first time in Revealing Cauldron. I guess Mu Yu hasn’t let Ku Mu down.” Opined Daoist Yuan Hua.

“Indeed,” responded Daoist Yun Dan, shaking his head.

“Yun Dan, you know about… Ku Mu… right?”

“I do. I always knew.”

“Should we tell Mu Yu?”

“I will tell him.”

“That will mean…”

“Rules should be upheld. I owe Ku Mu. For now, I pray Mu Yu is safe.”

“Those two from Third Heaven Palace are incredibly formidable. Mu Yu is our only hope now.”

“He will make it.”

In a corner, Cai Lie murmured, “Sorry, Shifu. I’m sorry for being such a fool…”

Bie Wenxuan went to sit next to Cai Lie. “Relax. Shifu and Ancestor have confirmed Uncle Yao will be fine.”

“I sure hope so.”

“What are those children doing? Are they Revealing Cauldron’s guardians? How can they control Primordial Yin Yang?” Daoist Yuan Hua pointed out.

Xiaoshuai guided Xiaohei and Xiaobai to operate Revealing Cauldron on behalf of Dahei and Dabai, not paying any heed to those below.

“Mu Yu called him Xiaoshuai. If my memory does me justice, it is the small beast that accompanies Mu Yu,” proposed Daoist Yun Dan.

“How about we ask the child to check up on the situation outside. He seems able to come and go from the cauldron at will.”

Xiaoshuai rode Xiaobai down at Daoist Yuan Hua. “Old Geezer, I can hear you, you know?”

“What is your relationship with Mu Yu?” queried Daoist Yuan Hua, hesitantly.

“I’m his elder brother!”

Neither Daoist Yuan Hua nor Daoist Yun Dun believed it.

“Do you know how he is doing?” Daoist Yun Dan questioned.

“I am fine.” Mu Yu teleported from a formation overhead, landing next to Daoist Yun Dan. “He’s not fine, though.”

Mu Yu threw Shi Dengtian to the ground.

“Shi Dengtian!” roared Daoist Yun Dan, looking down to Shi Dengtian’s bloody dantian.

All Shi Dengtian could do was look back at everyone crowding around him. Mu Yu would not even let him avert his gaze, forcing him to bear with the contempt fired his way.

Daoist Yuan Hua inquired, “Mu Yu, what about the two outs-”

“I killed them.”

“Really?!” effused Daoist Yuan Hua and Daoist Yun Dan.

“Yes.”

Pill Cauldron Sect’s erupted into jubilant clamours.

“What do you plan to do with this scum?” Mu Yu asked.

“Kill him!”

“Kill him!”

“Kill him!”

Everyone waited for Daoist Yun Dan’s verdict once they had their turn shouting.

“Our regulations state that a faction leader can only be imprisoned for life,” Daoist Yun Dan informed, igniting protests. “In saying that, in light of his crimes, he is hereby stripped of his status. As such, he can be executed and will be executed so that Uncles Hong Yuan and Hong Yi may rest in peace!”

Mu Yu opined, “I presume nobody wants to kill him more than Alchemist Yao. I believe Alchemist Yao will personally end him. He is but a cripple who cannot even take his own life now. I suggest we give Alchemist Yao the chance to avenge himself.”

Mu Yu and Cai Lie made eye contact.
