Eastern Desert City No More
Mu Yu, five wooden caskets flying behind him, ambled through the street, treating the flas setting human cultivators alight as fireworks, their harrowing screams, the rhythm of things crushing them, the lody of blades grinding flesh off and sizzling of corpses as music to his ears.
The cultivators resolved to fight and, hopefully, dispatch the elental demons before the three titans could return, relying on their overwhelming numbers to plough through the elental demons. Alas, the elental demons let loose fire blasts, transford houses into boulders and belted down with a hail of tal weapons, giving human cultivators sothing to evade at all tis.
Whenever elental demons try to jump Mu Yu, the tree branches that Mu Yu spawned underfoot would pierce them and then return to clearing his path.
Watching from the end of the street, Lie Shang wore a coat of black flas exuding bloodlust energy that preyed on Spirit Severing Realm cultivators, those trying to desert and elental demons. “You regret it?”
“They were dead from the mont they chose to quit.”
“Including them?”
Lie Shang shifted his gaze to a panicking elder hugging his niece, who was barely two years old, underneath a collapsing building. Mu Yu could not feel anything for the innocent citizens who had no choice but to place their hopes in the immortal masters who were supposed to protect them. Nevertheless, the mont an earth demon hurled a broken rock at them, Mu Yu shielded the family trembling in despair with a wooden barricade whilst crushing the demon.
Xiaoshuai tugged Mu Yu’s hand and then waited for Mu Yu to return to his usual self. “Mu Yu, pass the Greater Heaven Stage formation foundation.”
Once Mu Yu handed over the formation, Xiaoshuai had a quick think and added, “And Divine Soul Formation.”
Mu Yu drew Divine Soul Formation onto the formation foundation he passed to Xiaoshuai.
Xiaoshuai zipped into the rubble and teleported the family out using the teleportation formation in conjunction with Divine Soul Formation. Mu Yu stopped advancing and let Xiaoshuai rescue more citizens from the rubble.
Shielding civilians with his black flas whenever they were on his radar, Lie Shang stated, “The city and its citizens would’ve perished when they terrorised the city even if you didn’t break down the barrier.”
“I know.”
Lie Shang faced the east, then turned back. “If Shifu wants to punish after we rescue him, I won’t have any regrets. I won’t resist if he wants my life, either. I would already be dead if it wasn’t for him, so he owns it. Still, I want to walk my own path.”
Lie Shang ensured no elental demons or cultivators could escape. Mu Yu’s Wood Spirit acted as the soul energy gatekeeper of the city.
“Let’s get going. The two of us can’t win against the titans because their bloodlust energy is significantly more potent than ours. That’s not to ntion they’re proper Ascension Realm adepts and, therefore, better at controlling the power,” voiced Lie Shang.
“Let’s go, then,” replied Mu Yu, retrieving Xiaoshuai and terrified non-cultivators.
“Please, no! I don’t know anything!” cried the civilians, clinging to each other upon seeing Mu Yu and Lie Shang.
“You can choose,” Lie Shang emotionlessly said, silencing the civilians. “You’re lucky nobody wants to exterminate you.”
Xiaoshuai, looking down on the civilians, enveloped them in Divine Soul Formation and wiped their mories prior to teleporting them. The plethora of branches and vines, as well as the black ocean of fire, vanished from the city in the blink of an eye.
Nightfall buried the trashed buildings and dismbered corpses of Eastern Desert City.
