Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 861



Chapter 861

Captured Alive

“I never knew Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s disciples are such weaklings. You want to oppose us when you’re this weak?” jibed Gu Chaofeng, launching his thirteen beads after Lie Shang, who was streaking across the desert. By the time Lie Shang deflected the beads, Gu Chaofeng was already in the latter’s face. “There’s no escape for you.”

“Wasn’t trying to.”

An eight trigrams diagram spreading hundreds of kilometres suddenly appeared at their feet.

“To quote you: there’s no escape for you.”

As Gu Chaofeng looked around at the formation’s circumference, he cursed, “Mu Yu! Where are you?! Did you lure me here?!”

Gu Chaofeng could not sense Mu Yu or escape into his void. As he watched Lie Shang raise his sword and exude considerably more energy than the previous round, Gu Chaofeng realised Lie Shang was holding back in the first round.

Lie Shang hurled his qi into the clouds, triggering a hail of qi that belted down.

“Soul Style Luo Sound – Souls Smashing Spear!”

Gu Chaofeng extended his spear over three kilometres into the sky, then installed the thirteen beads he linked together into his spear, generating a vortex at the tip of his spear. His thrust changed the air, forcing it to move in clunky fashion.

The trades between Gu Chaofeng and Lie Shang created turbulent winds, resulting in struggles with breathing for the both of them. Eventually, Gu Chaofeng’s arm felt so weak that Lie Shang’s smash drove him back.

“I underestimated you.” Gu Chaofeng excreted Lie Shang’s qi out of his numb arm. “You’re still delusional if you think you can defeat me, though.”

Gu Chaofeng turned his spear back into beads, lining up horizontally to him and firing thirteen spears at Lie Shang. Gu Chaofeng’s alarm suddenly went off, turning his attention a hundred metres east. “So that’s where you’re hiding.”

Gu Chaofeng redirected seven spears to the second source of malice, but they ran into an eight trigrams formation. The short moment of distraction was all the time Lie Shang needed to thwart the six spears on him and propel himself toward Gu Chaofeng.

Gu Chaofeng swiftly retrieved his beads, creating a white gale to shield himself from Lie Shang’s swing. “His Eminence already has your shifu as a prisoner. You five are nothing without him. How about I reunite you with him?”

Pushed back, Lie Shang responded, “You talk too much.”

“Hahaha, I’d be bored against you, otherwise.”

“Dead men won’t be bored.”

Out came nine clones of Sky Scorcher Sword – Regenesis! Lie Shang compressed his qi in his sword and, in the blink of eye, delivered his sword to Gu Chaofeng. Gu Chaofeng hastily drew his spear to intercept the sword, but Lie Shang’s momentum cleaved through the spear. Gu Chaofeng immediately imploded his beads and jumped into a white void a bead formed.

Lie Shang answered with a shift in attack trajectory, unloading his qi on the beads to force Gu Chaofeng out. Lie Shang’s attack could not keep up; however, the eight trigrams diagram began imposing increasing pressure, halting Gu Chaofeng.

Gu Chaofeng had no time to recompose himself after the pressure forced him out of his void.

“Ugh!” Gu Chaofeng looked to his chest, but there was nothing there despite the wound resembling the sight of a sword having run pierced it. Instead, he felt something foreign inside him devouring his soul energy. “Wh-what’s going on…? Mu Yu!”

“Too slow.” Mu Yu revealed himself behind Gu Chaofeng, Wood Spirit Sword still draining the latter’s soul energy.

There was no means of escaping Wood Spirit Sword for the reason that Gu Chaofeng could not even see it.

Lie Shang erased his qi in the atmosphere and told Mu Yu, “I could’ve vanquished this filth even without your assistance.”

“You can defeat him, but you can’t kill him,” Mu Yu responded.

“Hmph.”

“Ye Feian! How did he fail to stop you!” Gu Chaofeng roared.

“What was that?” A formation line in Mu Yu’s hand flinched. A white light flitted out, indicating Gu Chaofeng wanted Ye Feian to stall Mu Yu before. Mu Yu said, “To be candid, I also want to kill Ye Feian, but we’re busy right now.”

Mu Yu used his formation to crush the white energy Gu Chaofeng used to send messages.

Mu Yu and Lie Shang split up in the first place because the former noticed someone tailing them. Mu Yu, therefore, had Lie Shang lure Gu Chaofeng over to the location that he had set a confinement formation to eliminate their stalker.

“Just kill him,” aggressed Lie Shang.

“After he answers my questions,” Mu Yu replied.
