Tussle at Ghost Gate

Her power overwhelms mine now, Mu Yu internally noted.

“Time for my ace, I guess, kekeke.”

Granny Meng spawned a skeleton adorned in a black robe behind her. The skeleton’s qi that froze the skeletons in place could only belong to one person – Ghost Gate’s patriarch’s twin!

He must have a foot in Apotheosis Realm judging from his qi. I guess the god news is that he can’t deploy a domain yet.

“Subdue him together with me!”

Granny Meng suspended Elder Meng’s head in the air with blood so that she could tackle Mu Yu with her patriarch’s twin, each taking one side. Granny Meng sent her hairpin whizzing at Mu Yu, creating a red lance. Mu Yu intended to decelerate the hairpin with his lightning, only for Ghost Gate’s patriarch’s twin to seize Mu Yu’s sword in his hand.

Lightning doesn’t work on him?! Just how big is the gap in our power?

Mu Yu thought he had stopped Granny Meng’s hairpin that went through her ally thanks to Contiguous Horizon Formation. In reality, he only managed to delay it for a brief stretch. Ghost Gate’s patriarch’s twin pulled Mu Yu in toward the hairpin. Mu Yu had no alternative but to cast Primordial Yin Yang onto his sword and try muscling his way through.

Though Mu Yu stopped the hairpin with his sword, Ghost Gate’s patriarch’s twin maintained his vice-like grip on Mu Yu’s hand, sending in ghost qi to wreak havoc on Mu Yu’s meridians. In the end, Mu Yu had to use his entire body to get away.

While Mu Yu’s black and white qi swallowed the ghost qi, Ghost Gate’s patriarch’s twin put the pressure on again, aiming his hand to Mu Yu’s skull. Mu Yu went back, letting his opponent’s hand slam the ground instead of him. There was no way Mu Yu was going to take blows of that level head on without losing something.

Mu Yu activated a green formation underfoot, transforming it into a water screen that he hid into a void. Granny Meng noticed the floaty posture he assumed and brushed it off. “Your cheap tricks won’t save you.”

Granny Meng fired stinky green and red beams from her hairpin, the green beam capable of erasing any skeleton it touched.

“Move! That’s her Ultimate Yin Body Devourer technique. Don’t try to block it because it’s corrosive!” cautioned Elder Meng.

“You’re breaking my heart, Dear. Still, it’s too late for him, kekeke.”

Granny Meng sent her ally to seal off Mu Yu’s retreat path with a palm strike aimed at the latter’s skull, the two beams fixing Mu Yu in spot. Ghost Gate’s patriarch’s twin then circled to the front, aiming a palm strike at Mu Yu’s chest.

After so many years, I finally saw hope of escaping his hellhole. Alas… inwardly grieved Elder Meng.

“I only want to ask if Mu Yu has infiltrated Ghost Gate,” stressed Huang Quan.

Tian Ran and Xiaoshuai fled over five kilometres away from Ghost Gate so that she could fight without restraint. What bemused her was why Huang Quan, who attired himself in yellow, let her run so far because he could have matched her, if not gone faster than her, at his level.

“If you want to harm Brother Mu Yu, you’ll have to get through me first!”

Watching the incoming golden lotus from Tian Ran, Huang Quan uttered, “I guess I’ll take you hostage, then. I don’t need to hold back here, either.”

While the yellow python gobbled the lotus, Huang Quan morphed his water form into a titanic hand to wield as a hammer. Tian Ran conjured a golden energy pillar from her sword, splitting the hand coming down and then parting the clouds.

“You think I’m fodder?” Eyes radiating golden energy, Tian Ran declared, “Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts – Falling Meteor Slash!”
