Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens - Chapter 920

Soul General

Mu Yu’s counter lacked the same output as it did against previous opponents, even veering off path, for he could not bring himself to fight Helian Kong, especially because he could not do anything for Helian Kong in the past. Helian Kong, on the other hand, no consciousness of his own anymore, therefore continuing to swing down mercilessly, leaving his mark at Pill Cauldron Sect, literally.

“I see you have qualms about fighting him. My, I’m so lucky I chose the right soul general, ahahaha,” Qian Shange mocked from Helian Kong’s shoulder.

Mu Yu continued dodging the incoming hammers, cancelling out his qi in the sky. Watching from atop Revealing Cauldron, Xiaoshuai suggested, “Mu Yu, fight back or he’ll bury you a kilometre underground!”

Mu Yu flew up, only to be sent back down to bite dust, literally, a second time.

“I can’t do that.”

“Helian Kong wants to be released. He can’t be released if you don’t kill Qian Shange! Besides, you’re letting him destroy his own home! How can he rest in peace if he finds out he destroyed his home and hurt people from the same sect?!”

Mu Yu took a deep breath. “You’re right, Xiaoshuai.”

Mu Yu drew Shadow Splitter Sword with conviction this time and bounced off the ground.

“Soul Style Luo Sound – Sundering Soul Finger!”

Helian Kong extended his right index finger as Qian Shange did, focusing crackling lightning to the finger. Qian Shange transferred energy to Helian Kong at the cost of his own energy to boost the output.

Mu Yu drew spiritual qi to the yin yang diagram at the tip of his sword. Every technique was part of Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts once the intent behind each movement came from Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts no matter how it appeared on the outside.

To be sure, Qian Shange slaughtered more Pill Cauldron Sect disciples for blood.

Bang! Helian Kong’s finger broke down Mu Yu’s qi in no time, smashing into Mu Yu’s forehead. Qian Shange started guffawing as he waited for the soul energy to break apart mu Yu’s soul.

Boom! Qian Shange’s lips froze stiff. “An illusion?”

Qian Shange reactively looked over his shoulder and, as expected, saw Mu Yu’s sword edging closer. “Childish.”

Qian Shange executed Sundering Soul Finger in synchrony with Helian Kong, thrusting up and down at the same time. For some reason, Helian Kong froze a hundred centimetres away from Mu Yu, while Qian Shange was stuck thirty centimetres away from Mu Yu.

Mu Yu’s sword plunged into Qian Shange’s forehead and absorbed the latter’s soul energy. At the same time, another trace of sword qi ripped into Helian Kong’s forehead.

“Two down,” Mu Yu declared from Qian Shange’s left side.

As much as Qian Shange wanted to turn his head to his left, it was impossible after Mu Yu caught him with a combo of swordplay and the formation Mirror Formation.

“Screw… y-”

Mu Yu yanked his sword out, reducing Qian Shange and Helian Kong to droplets of blood. As Mu Yu watched the souls merge into Helian Kong, he implored, “Please forgive me, Elder. I genuinely wanted to save you.”

Mu Yu regrouped with Xiaoshuai and, holding onto Helian Kong’s soul item, dolefully peered to Pill Cauldron Sect’s cemetery that Helian Kong turned to debris. Suddenly, Mu Yu felt an icy hand tap him on the shoulder.
