Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Lop-Sided Thrashing

Holding onto the five celestial swords with a vice-like grip using soul energy rope and sealing their mental connection to their swords with starlight, Bai Jie cackled. “Without your celestial swords, you don’t have any fangs.”

Talk about an emotional roller coaster for the enslaved humans.

Mu Yu calmly transformed Wood Spirit into a sword. “Anything can be a sword as long as you want it to be.”

Cheng Yan brandished a silver metal sword. Lie Shang spawned a flaming sword. Xiang Nan equipped a heavy metal and stone sword. They did not just have swords; they also had Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts.

The four brothers whipped up white smoke as they bound forward, each covering for their other’s defect. Alas, Bai Jie nullified their attacks once they were in range using his Vacant Realm domain and then picked their attacks apart using his tentacles.

“Your attacks are ineffective, while mine hurt.” Bai Jie turned their swords on them, stinging the arms they raised to guard.

The blood they sprayed from their mouths was the fireworks Bai Jie celebrated with. Tian Ran spawned four lotuses around the four brothers, shielding the four brothers from Bai Jie’s finishing blow at the cost of her own blood. An absolute defence was useless against an omnipotent attack.

“I heard you’re Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s daughter. You’re not half bad, but you’re not on my level.”

“Tian Ran, undo this!” Mu Yu shouted, hearing Bai Jie whiz toward Tian Ran with hostile intent.

“I must protect you!”

Tian Ran grunted as Bai Jie’s attack landed. Still, she refused to release her shield in order to transport them back.

“Tian Ran, don’t be rash.” Blood spilt from Mu Yu’s mouth as the words rolled off his tongue. Nonetheless, he had Primordial Yin Yang working to deploy Life and Death Universe Ruler again.

“We have to kill him one way or another.” Cheng Yan rose again with his brothers.

Bai Jie immediately put the four on their backs again, striking them with starlight blasts.

Mu Yu steadied himself. “Buy me some time!”

“We’ll buy you all the time you need.” The four advanced against their own interests once again.

Xiaoshuai also joined the party, blustering, “Hey, White Freak, give me back my swords!” Glowing white for an inexplicable reason, he called, “Swords!”

The celestial swords in Bai Jie’s tentacles started to thrash around, eventually slipping into a void. Before Bai jie realised it, the swords had returned to Xiaoshuai’s feet. Xiaoshuai jumped onto the five swords pointing away from each other. “White Freak, my swords obey me.”

“You asked for it!”

Xiaoshuai switched into his human form and rotated the five swords underfoot, creating a cutting ring to stop Ba Jie’s charge. Regardless, Bai Jie’s might conquered Xiaoshuai’s strategy, punching Xiaoshuai into the void and scattering the swords as a result. Luckily, they managed to retrieve their swords, immediately getting into position to guard Mu Yu thereafter.

Bai Jie swung again, ramming them off in the chest.

“Keep it up!” Xiaoshuai encouraged from Mu Yu’s shoulder.

Bai Jie paused to bring out a hammer and hammer them. Despite the damage they took, they kept getting up to guard Mu Yu. The human slaves privy to what was taking place started to pray for those fighting Bai Jie.

Bai Jie dialled up the intensity for his next hammer, smashing down hard enough to floor them for good. Mu Yu, fortunately, deployed a formation to shield them, one that turned the vicious slam into a feather’s brush – Universe Ruler’s Vacant Realm! Mu Yu opened his eyes whilst pushing Bai Jie’s domain back.

“Curse you!”
