Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1113

Shadow Slayer

“The hell is a silly goose smell?” Mu Yu scrubbed Xiaoshuai’s head.

“Can’t recall. I just know I know the smell. We might be able to find some nice food while we’re at it. Speed is of the essence. We can’t miss out,” Xiaoshuai cheered.

“Who would even bother fighting with you for food here?!” Mu Yu went around a roiling river and the woods on the other side, lest he get into another confrontation. “Where are Cheng Yan and the others? I’m surprised Third Heaven Palace hasn’t come onto me more aggressiv-” Mu Yu suddenly descended into the woods.

“What is it?”

Mu Yu swept his gaze from left to right then settled on a shadow. “Feel like showing yourself yet?”

“Sharp senses.” A gentle draft sung as Yu Mo stepped out from behind a tree, making no effort to hide the aggression she projected on Mu Yu.

“What do you want?”

Despite the numerous encounters with shadow race and shadowless sect, they had kept their secrets well hidden, so Mu Yu knew very little about them.

Yu Mo, who had a physical body unlike the previous shadow race members Mu Yu previously met, stopped ten metres away from Mu Yu. “I just happened to bump into you and then decided to follow you out of curiosity as to what makes you so legendary.”

“Your race is immigrants from another realm. Are you competing for a spot as a mystic immortal?”

“You speak in jest. We are residents of Third Heaven.”

“That must be why you’re willing to oppose the soul race to protect Third Heaven.”

“Are you also going to save it?”

“I don’t owe you an explanation. Here’s what I can tell you: I only have friends and enemies. Neutral parties belong to the latter category.”

Mu Yu was not convinced the shadow race and shadowless race were not going to try gain something from the conflict or Third Heaven. Who could prove either race was not waiting to reap gains without lifting a finger? As far as Mu Yu’s knowledge went, he did not even know what their final goal was.

“I don’t recommend making an enemy out of me. You won’t gain anything out of it.”

“Your allegiance makes a nominal difference to me. I killed Qing Ming, and I can kill you. Dong Zhi and Huang Quan’s fates prove we aren’t pushovers.”

“… Cheng Yan will pay for his treachery.”

Mu Yu’s sword draw rustled the leaves on the nearby trees, hostility so overwhelming that the leaves seemed contaminated with it. “I can settle the bill on his behalf.”

Yu Mo stepped away from the tree branch. “You wish to kill me?”

“Isn’t that what you had in mind?”

Yu Mo’s eyes wandered around the danger looming in the forest. “We only want to kill you as it is our mission. You’re stronger than we imagined. Our only goal is Perfect World.”

“Oh, it was just a job. I forgive you. Is that what you thought I’d say? Perfect World has been fully activated. You want to lift the restriction it places on you, correct?”

“As I told you: we were born and raised in Third Heaven. In that vein, its restriction doesn’t hamper our ability to kill. We want Perfect World for another goal.”

“Which is?”

“No point telling somebody not strong enough.”

The qi in the woods burst, slicing every leaf off the trees and flying toward Yu Mo as sharp projectiles, thereby giving her no openings to exploit. Yu Mo summoned her domain, shrouding the egg yolk behind ominous plumes, plunging the woods into darkness that allowed her to camouflage herself. The qi in the woods cut through, and then peace was restored to the woods.

“According to our intelligence, Mu Yu is a kind and easy-going individual, not a decisive killer. Is the information wrong?” It was impossible to discern where Yu Mo was from her echoing voice.

“I don’t hold back when it’s time to kill those who deserve to die. I will kill those wiseacres who feel a need to gloat in front of me.” Mu Yu had zero vision.

“You’re not in the same league as Sword Shadow Dust Gale; there’s no point in you knowing of Perfect World.”

“Thanks for pointing out the obvious. That’s why I’m taking a different path.”

Since Yu Mo kept trying to box Mu Yu in within ten square metres, Mu Yu cast a formation with his foot to stop her from getting into the same range.

Within Yu Mo’s Shadow Slayer domain, she could convert all attacks into shadows and misdirect attacks. At the same time, she was able to catch her opponent from anywhere. Over time, she shrunk the space to box in her target.

Mu Yu summoned formations to his eyes and slashed again, clearing the darkness, only for the darkness to instantly swallow the light.

“You’ve impressed with your quick ascension. That being said, you’re no match for me as a newcomer to Apotheosis Realm. Your attacks are useless in my Shadow Slayer domain. When I say you aren’t qualified to know, it means you aren’t qualified.”
