Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 247

Gui Dao’s Black Qi

Mu Yu and Gui Dao engaged in a high-velocity, intense duel, trading black and green sword qi attacks.  Thanks to the upbringing style of Ghost Gate’s disciples, they learned to grow as competent as they could in cultivation and combat technicality. Harming their twin with trickery would only reduce their twin’s powers once the latter became their tool, after all.

Gui Dao and his twin wielded sickles. Their ghost mist obstructed Mu Yu’s vision. The duo sent ghouls in and out of the mist. Mu Yu slashed a ghoul and then pivoted to throw Gui Dao’s twin off balance. Mu Yu leapt up and came down with two swords, dispersing the mist. Gui Dao was able to quickly set up the screen and give Mu Yu grief again.

Gui Dao noticed Mu Yu not paying attention and swung his sickle at Mu Yu’s chest, sending Mu Yu staggering backward. Mu Yu rubbed his chest and recollected himself.

Xiaoshuai raged, “Who just chopped my bottom?!”

Xiaoshuai smacked Mu Yu in the face with his tail. “Use that broken sword to body the smoky runt!”

“Your mist is a great tool, but you picked the wrong opponent.”

Mu Yu wanted to stand up to Ghost Gate without relying on someone’s help; hence, he was extremely motivated to fight. The wood spirit was a huge contributor to fighting off Gui Xuanyue at Moyun Mountains. When Mu Yu fused with Wood Spirit Sword, he discovered he could command the sword at will. As such, he split it off from Shadow Splitter. The wood spirit’s energy forced the mist to recede. Gui Dao was unable to bring it back. The ghouls cried as the sword qi vanquished them.

“You lot should learn to stay in your own lane.”

In disbelief, Gui Dao belted and had his twin swing his sickle that he had enlarged. Wood Spirit Sword and the sickle collided. Silence followed. The sickle was cracked and soon crumbled to pieces. Wood Spirit Sword absorbed the fragments into its holes.

In the meantime, Mu Yu closed the gap and slashed Gui Dao. Sadly, Gui Dao was able to transform into ghost mist and retreat.

“I’m not done yet!”

Gui Dao summoned a black twin and sent it after Wood Spirit Sword. Meanwhile, he summoned a ghost banner to engage Mu Yu. That was a poor arrangement on Gui Dao’s part. The twin screamed shrilled upon touching Wood Spirit Sword, allowing the sword to impale the twin. Normally, the twin would immediately wander, but the vitality in the sword nullified the ability.

Xiaoshuai, swinging his arms, effused, “Sword, whoop him!”

Gui Dao attempted to summon his twin to him, but the wood spirit’s hold on his twin was solid. The sword continued to fly back and forth, puncturing the twin full of holes from different angles. The sword subsequently switched to absorbing it to repair the holes. As a result of the twin suffering damage, Gui Dao took damage accordingly. Mu Yu leveraged the chance to uncoil a palm strike. Gui Do went through air, leaving a trail of blood behind. Mu Yu pursued him and hammered on after raising Gui Dao’s head.

Ghost mist covered the area again. Gui Dao’s soul ejected from his body, and the mist recreated his body, albeit in astral form. That was his soul. He questioned, “Who are you?”

“All of you are cockroaches, huh? No wonder why nobody wants to bother with you lot. Kill the body and out comes the soul.”

“I’ll have my revenge!”

Injured and unable to continue, Gui Dao took out his jade piece.

“You’re not going anywhere! For my roast duck and drumsticks, Shabby Sword, charge! Snatch the jade piece, and I’ll share a piece of meat with you!” Xiaoshuai commanded.

Mu Yu burst into laughter. Wood Spirit Sword teleported above Gui Dao’s soul and dragged him in. For some reason, he couldn’t put any force into his hand. After struggling and struggling, he managed to squeeze his fingers. Alas, they went through the jade piece, while he was sucked into the sword.

Mu Yu picked up the jade piece Gui Dao dropped.
