Chapter 93

.

Lots of dazzling white lights flashed in Mu Yi’s hands . He looked magnificent and capable . Qiu Yuetong felt threatened by his stance and hurriedly moved back a bit . She moved her sword in front of her and held it horizontally like a shield .

Mu Yi was holding the copper lamp in one hand . He took out a five thunders charm with the other . He had already thought that only five thunders charms would be effective against Qiu Yuetong . The five thunders charm exploded . Lightning descended from the sky and struck at Qiu Yuetong .

Mu Yi felt a cold chill down his back at that moment . He grabbed the Ghost King Banner off his back and placed it in front of him . The sound of cloth being torn echoed in his ears and rips appeared on the Ghost King Banner .

Mu Yi was rather dejected but he just put the Ghost King Banner away and threw another five thunders charm . The lightning from the first charm had already hit her . She was forced away by the strength of it . She was still in the air when she saw more lightning aiming at her .

Her sword cast a streak through the air and collided with the lightning from the second charm . Five thunders charms contained the strength of lightning of the earth and the sky . The attack was majestic and full of power . She couldn’t stop it completely even after her breakthrough but she did all she could to block the attack .

She floated down from where she was in the air . She staggered a bit when she landed . The almost continuous wave of lightning continued to push her back . She didn’t have time to destroy one before another was coming .

Mu Yi used mind strength to activate the charms . No matter how fast Qiu Yuetong was, she couldn’t avoid the charms . She knew that so she didn’t try to dodge any of the lightning .

She took a deep breath and placed her sword in front of her . The edge of the blade gleamed as she used it to strike at the lightning . The second wave of lightning illuminated her as it collided with her sword . Nobody had gained an advantage yet .

Mu Yi clearly saw more lightning aiming at Qiu Yuetong after the others had disappeared . However, Qiu Yuetong wasn’t injured . She wasn’t completely unaffected, but at most she had been startled by the quickness of the charms .

It was the first time that Mu Yi had found someone who could resist two five thunders charms since he started practicing cultivation . Mu Yi couldn’t help but think that Xugui was much weaker than Qiu Yuetong . He noticed that Qiu Yuetong was breathing quicker so it definitely wasn’t an easy task .

However, Mu Yi only had one five thunders charm left . She would probably be able to block the last five thunders charm based on her current condition . If that was the case, then Mu Yi would be at his wit’s end and almost out of options .

He decided not to use his last five thunders charm hastily . Instead, he took out two evil spirit slaying charms and threw them at Qiu Yuetong . She had never slowed down or stopped moving . Two white lights flashed in front of her, but the eged of her sword glinted and the two white lights were destroyed .

The people of the fortified village were staring at them reverently . They couldn’t begin to comprehend what was happening in front of their eyes . What was with the white lights the Taoist kept throwing, the copper lamp, and the lightning? Such things were mysteries that made their hearts pound .

Many of them had started thinking that Mu Yi wasn’t human . Apart from supernatural beings, who else would be able to control lightning? They started thinking differently of Qiu Yuetong as the fight continued . They had known that Qiu Yuetong was extremely strong, but they would have never thought she’d be able to fight against someone like Mu Yi .

She was incredible . Was this the brigand chief they had always had and known?

Mu Yi watched her destroy the two white lights before throwing himself at her . He took out the copper lamp . The light was like a fire which illuminated her . Qiu Yuetong saw him moving and her expression changed to one of alarm .

She moved quickly and used her sword to cut her index finger . Blood sat on the edge of the blade before it was absorbed as if the sword was alive . The sword shook violently and turned a dazzling red . She struck out with the sword at the same time .

Red and white lights collided . The sound of the resulting explosion spread through the air . The energy crashed into both Qiu Yuetong and Mu Yi pushing them back and away . Mu Yi frowned and finally took out his last five thunders charm .

Qiu Yuetong swung her sword again as if their hearts and minds were linked . Qiu Yuetong moved so fast that Mu Yi saw eight silhouettes . It was as if each one was a different Qiu Yuetong doing a different movement . They all condensed into one before attacking .

Mu Yi had the impression that he was fighting against a sword as sword Qi shot up into the sky . The lightning hit Qiu Yuetong’s body this time . However, dazzling white lights shone in front of Mu Yi and he had to almost close his eyes .

He had the feeling he was in danger . The Ghost King Banner was broken and he couldn’t use it anymore . He turned around and attempted to dodge by running away . Pain radiated throughout Mu Yi’s left shoulder . His right hand felt numb and he almost collapsed .

Once he reached the edge of their improvised battlefield, Mu Yi touched his right shoulder . He realized he was bleeding after being hit by the sword . If he hadn’t moved, the strike would have hit his heart . The sword Qi that had managed to penetrate his body through the wound was making his vital organs shake .

He wasn’t dead, but his left hand was also numb . It was all very unsettling . He looked over at Qiu Yuetong . After the lightning disappeared, one could see her figure clearly and she looked hurt . She was on her knees . She was holding her sword but the sword was broken .

Her hair was messy and she was angry . They were both injured . Mu Yi and Qiu Yuetong were in the same condition at this point . Mu Yi’s situation was a little worse than hers because a wound caused by a sword was more difficult to heal .

It seemed like they were on even footing but sometimes, things weren’t really the way they looked . Mu Yi had already used his other hand to grab another evil spirit slaying charm, but Qiu Yuetong couldn’t fight anymore . He didn’t throw it at her because she wasn’t alone .

All the members of Little Frost’s fortified village were standing behind her . If he had a lot of charms, he wouldn’t have been scared . He was injured right now though and even ordinary people could kill him . He knew that some people were holding firearms while others had bows and arrows .

If Qiu Yuetong gave them the order to kill him, he wouldn’t be able to escape .
