Chapter 848


    <strong><em>Xuelian</em></strong>


    “You killed Tree Elder?” Mu Yu questioned.


    “Weaklings have no business in a leadership role.”


    “I’m next?” Mu Yu churned up bloodlust energy, aware he no longer had Tree Elder to look out for him.


    “Her n is to control your mind and merge with Ju Mang in your ce,” notified Lie Shang.


    “Fire Reverend must’ve failed. Embarrassing.”


    Seeing Mu Yu looked over to him, Lie Shang powered up further. “That was what Fire Reverend wanted to do to me.”


    Mu Yu turned back to Xuelian. “Give me your best shot.”


    Xiaoshuai returned to his normal form to fit back inside Mu Yu’s shirt.“Fire Reverend will owe me a favour now. Get them!”


    Lie Shang advanced first,busting the red trees closing in. To Mu Yu and Lie Shang’s surprise, the trees were able to prate through the mes without taking damage, a feat that not even Mu Yu could aplish.


    “You two are still amateurs at using bloodlust energy.”


    Xuelian snapped Mu Yu’s branches with her green, slithering branches as though they were feeble twigs. Mu Yu started to detect energy within her branches that changed the nature of the nts. Switching his strategy, he caught a branch to try and overrule Xuelian’smands, yet it rejected him as well as knocked him back.


    <em>Where have I seen this before?</em> Mu Yu mused, irate.


    Mu Yu brought Wood Spirit down on the branches hard, yet his de bounced off after the impact that sounded as if he chopped metal. Worse, Wood Spirit was unable to take control of the branch.


    “She’s stronger than the three who besieged Eastern Desert City,” Lie Shang informed.


    “Colour me surprised,” Mu Yu replied, dodging swirling branches from various directions with Lie Shang.


    Mu Yu cloned Wood Spirit in branch forms to deflect the whips. Xuelian continued shifting trees around to increase her armoury of lethal red branches. The sonorous sounds of leaves and branches flinging from side to side travelled far and wide.


    Every time Mu Yu’s weapons collided with Xuelian’s branches, her branches would sprout thinner branches and travel along Wood Spirit to jeopardise Mu Yu. Despite Mu Yu conjuring branches constantly, he was unable to keep up with Xuelian’s pace.


    “You think you’re tough just because you have Wood Spirit? You’re human; you can never wield its maximum potential, hahaha.”


    By the time he realised it, Mu Yu had his back against the perimeter of the forest. Behind him was the water wall extending a kilometre up from the ground to separate the turf of the two races. Thus, he stopped and had his trees be phantoms then peered up to Xuelian fighting Lie Shang.


    “It was a mistake to leave our spirit lords in your filthy hands. It’s time I release our lord!”


    The earth was unable to withstand the force of Xuelian’s whips, let alone Lie Shang. Yet, the more protracted the fight, the more Lie Shang was hungry to fight.


    “You two humans aren’t worthy of wielding our power!”


    Xuelian bounced Mu Yu and Lie Shang off the water wall.


    “Xuelian, stay in your own area!” brayed Water Reverend, on the other side of the water wall.


    “Then, protect your border, cowards,” Xuelian preached.


    Water Reverend, furious, froze the water wall, creating a makeshift mirror.


    “Hahaha, their solid ice wall works in my favour. Now you two have nowhere to run two.” Xuelian fired off branches as tree picks at both of them.


    “Grab on!” eximed Lie Shang, shrouding Mu Yu in his ck mes.


    Mu Yu and Lie Shang were airborne by the time Xuelian evaporated the ck mes.


    “Weaklings. Humans are nothing before our might,” ridiculed Xuelian, barricading Mu Yu and Lie Shang between trees again.


    “We aren’t just humans. We’re Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s disciples.”


    The duo, who tossed their shifu’s skillset into the back of their minds once they predominately wielded the elemental demons’ power, drew their celestial swords once again, this time without fire or trees. Liked it? Take a second to support Wu Jizun on Patreon!
