Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Howl! Howl!
The yellow wind whizzed toward the sticky death-gas ocean in the Holy Pagoda. Shi Tian You stood deep inside the ocean and his face turned grim. He looked as though he was about to meet his arch-enemy.
Swish! Swish!
The yellow Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind hit the death-gas ocean, and when it came into contact with the death-gas, the death-gas dispersed at an astounding speed. It was like snow that had come into contact with lava, and it melted instantly.
When Mu Chen saw this, his eyes lit up. He was surprised to see that the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind was not only able to disperse the spiritual energy, but it had the same effect on the death-gas.
Mu Chen had seen the death-gas in his earlier encounter, so he knew that it was corrosive and would devour anything that had life in it. If his spiritual energy had not been enhanced by the Holy Pagoda and was protected by the seal, he would have been attacked by it!
The death-gas that had come from Shi Tian You was apparently being dissolved by the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind. Although Shi Tian You was protected by the death-gas ocean, he still turned ghastly pale, as the obscure Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind had taken him by surprise.
Swish!
The yellow wind continued to blow, and as the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind continued to break down the death-gas ocean, the death-gas ocean around Shi Tian You dispersed. Shi Tian You continued to infuse the death-gas with his energy, but he was unable to stop the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind from dispersing it. After a few minutes, the death-gas around Shi Tian You dispersed completely, and he was no longer protected by it.
“Go.” Mu Chen’s eyes were cold as he pointed his finger at Shi Tian You.
At that moment, the penetrating Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind whizzed toward Shi Tian You. Earlier on, the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind had only taken down Shi Tian You’s defenses. What happened next would inflict great harm on Shi Tian You’s body…
The yellow wind circled around Shi Tian You, who was trying to escape. The black robe on his body tore apart and revealed his pale-looking shriveled body.
His body was like a skeleton. Black light glittered on it, making it appear like a hardy steel. However, no matter how hardy it was, it could not resist the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind…
The yellow wind blew past Shi Tian You’s body and tore his pale-looking skin apart. His flesh and blood started to turn yellow, showing signs of its imminent transformation into a sandstorm.
Shi Tian You ran for his life, but the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind followed him wherever he went. After he was chased around by the yellow wind for a while, Shi Tian You was in a sorry state. Shi Tian You was at a loss, as he was unable to fend off the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind.
“Stupid guy!” Shi Tian You shouted. If they had fought head-on, he would not have been afraid of Mu Chen. However, his hands were tied by the strange yellow wind!
I cannot allow this to go on! Shi Tian You shouted in his heart. If he continued to let the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind dissolve the death-gas that was in him, he would soon be at Mu Chen’s mercy.
Light glittered crazily in Shi Tian You’s eyes. In the next instant, he gritted his teeth and came to a decision.
He formed a seal with his hands, while a dense death-gas surged out from his body. It then turned into a corpse cocoon that ensconced him within it.
“Natal Corpse Escape!” As the corpse cocoon covered Shi Tian You’s body, a deep sound was heard indistinctly from within it.
The Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind whizzed down and broke the corpse cocoon open. When the corpse cocoon opened up, Shi Tian You was nowhere to be found! Only a skeleton could be seen!
When Mu Chen saw this, his gaze froze and he tried to sense Shi Tian You. His facial expression then changed immediately.
Shi Tian You has escaped from the Holy Pagoda!
Mu Chen had sensed the fluctuations of Shi Tian You’s death-gas outside the Holy Pagoda.
“Is this a Fall Guy Technique? It is so obscure…” Mu Chen’s face turned grave.
The means that Shi Tian You had used were quite unique. He had let the skeleton take his place, allowing it to die on his behalf while he escaped unscathed!
Mu Chen was shocked, but at the same time, he was glad that he had forced Shi Tian You to display such a powerful means with the help of the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind. If Shi Tian You had activated it some other time, everyone would be have been duped by him, which would have then given him the opportunity to attack them. That would have been a disaster!
There must be a restriction to using this means. So, I don’t think Shi Tian You will be able to use them again.
After pondering for a while, Mu Chen lifted up his head to look at the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind that was in the Holy Pagoda. He could not stop himself from laughing.
If Shi Tian You had not been flustered by the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind, he would have noticed that, although the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind was powerful, it did not have a base, so it would dissipate in no time! This was because, as time passed, the Spiritual Energy Dispelling Wind would start to thin.
In any case, Mu Chen had met his objective. As he waved his sleeve, the Holy Pagoda shrunk speedily. It then turned into a streamer and shot into his eyes.
Mu Chen then appeared again above the altar and looked at Shi Tian You, who was before him, with a derisive look. Shi Tian You was in a sorry state. His shriveled body was filled with holes and as his flesh squirmed about. However, he recovered speedily from his injuries.
Wow…
The top powers around the altar, who were watching the fight, were shocked when they saw Shi Tian You. Mu Chen had trapped Shi Tian You in the pagoda for only 10 minutes, but it had been enough to put Shi Tian You in such a sorry state!
What did Mu Chen do in the pagoda that has caused Shi Tian You to be so badly injured?
The top powers looked at one another and were baffled. They felt that Mu Chen was unfathomable!
Mo Xin and Xuan Luo, who were fighting fiercely, were stunned as well. They both became wary of Mu Chen.
As the flesh on his body squirmed around to treat his other injured parts, Shi Tian You looked at Mu Chen with intense hate. Although it seemed as though he was treating his injuries, in actual fact, he was plotting his revenge!
“I never expected myself to be in such a sorry state.” Shi Tian You’s voice sounded as though it came from the netherworld, as the killing intent was so strong.
When Mu Chen saw the look in Shi Tian You’s eyes, he froze and his body started to tense up. Shi Tian You looked like a wild beast that was about to turn violent!
A white light suddenly appeared in Shi Tian You’s eyes, and in split seconds, one could not even see his pupils, as they had also turned white. Those white eyes seemed to belong to the God of Death, as they exuded a horrifying death-gas!
When Mu Chen looked at Shi Tian You’s white eyes, the spiritual energy in his body burst out and turned into a huge purple golden body. Apparently, Mu Chen had activated the Immortal Golden Body!
As Mu Chen could feel an indescribable dangerous aura exuding from the pair of white eyes. Without a second thought, he had activated the Immortal Golden Body to give himself the optimum protection!
As Shi Tian You’s body slowly rose up to the sky, he bowed down. His shriveled body looked even more dried up, as though there was no more flesh and blood upon or in him.
A gush of white air came out of his body and merged with his death-gas. A humongous pale figure then gradually appeared behind him.
The humongous figure was indistinct. It seemed to have a black crown on its head and had a white sickle in its hand. Death-gas burst out from the figure’s body, and it looked as though the God of Death Himself had arrived!
The aura of death filled the entire area, and the horrifying death-gas caused everyone to stop fighting. Everyone looked toward its direction in amazement.
“What is that?” Mo Xin asked.
When Mo Xin and Xuan Luo looked at the humongous figure, they were taken aback. They felt a dangerous aura exuding from it.
The Balrog Commander and the top power from the Demon Blade Clan were surprised as well. They looked at each other, while the Balrog Commander said softly in amazement, “Shi Tian You has cultivated the Corpse Deity Art!”
They then turned to look at Mu Chen, who had caused Shi Tian You to be in such a sorry state. They thought… This guy is extremely powerful!
The Balrog Commander was glad that, when he had met Mu Chen earlier, Mu Chen did not display any of his means. After all, he was not confident that he could have escaped from Mu Chen if he had done so.
After all, Shi Tian You was so powerful, but he had been forced to use the Corpse Deity Art. So, one could imagine how tough it was to deal with Mu Chen!
All of the top powers were taken aback. Mu Chen stared at the eyes of the humongous figure behind Shi Tian You and squinted his own eyes.
The dangerous aura was so strong, his heart pumped vigorously. He then took a deep breath and triggered his thoughts. As he did so, a large amount of Immortal God Runes gathered to form a large spear, then shot toward Shi Tian You.
After all, Mu Chen could not allow Shi Tian You to carry on with what he was doing.
Bang!
However, when the large spear was still some distance from Shi Tian You, it burst, turned into powder, then dissipated entirely. Shi Tian You ignored Mu Chen’s action and simply looked at him without any expression.
He then faced Mu Chen from afar and bowed down. At the same time, the humongous figure behind Shi Tian You faced Mu Chen and bowed down to him as well.
Shi Tian You’s cold voice, which was filled with immense killing intent, resounded in the area, as though the God of Death was hastening souls to hell, “Three bows from the Corpse Deity!”
