Swift Hai Dongqing
Mu Yu swung Shadow Splitter Sword down. The fiend king blocked with his forearm and discharged spiritual energy. Mu Yu pulled his arm out of the fiend king’s hold and immediately retreated.
“How dare you desecrate my dignity, despicable human?!” Desert Eagle Fiend King rose to his feet and unleashed his energy.
“You’re too weak to be the real desert eagle fiend king.” Mu Yu flicked his wrist. Though he called the fiend king weak, he was aware he would be dead meat if he actually fought the statue.
“You want to steal from me? Your death wish is granted.”
The fiend king’s eyes were dead set on the Brilliant Blood in Mu Yu’s hand. He fired a red ray at the ceiling, turning the entire cave red and calling the statues to life.
“I know where the stench is coming from now! At Second Heaven, grey qi brought the statues to life. This stink is acting as the catalyst this time,” Xiaoshuai whispered.
“It’ll be all right. We can afford a fight even if we run into a fiend king’s core.”
Mu Yu expected the statue to attack, yet it barked orders from where it stood. To be precise, it was singing loudly. Qi breakers criss-crossed in the air above, absorbing the red light and morphing into a red ring, where a pattern started to form at the centre. An antiquated coffin, with the same eagle at the city doors carved on, rose from the centre of the qi breakers. The heavy breaths from inside the coffin were loud and clear from the outside.
“No way the fiend king is sealed in hat coffin. Humanity might as well not seal them if they’re going to seal a fiend king in an underground palace.”
Mu Yu noticed there were countless passageways at the top of the cave quaking as if something was coming out. High-pitched voices and flapping wings came from the passageways. Hundreds of desert eagle fiend souls came together in the area above to form a giant desert eagle. One cry generated red lightning that struck the ceiling. The boom travelled left and right, revealing the scarlet sky. The desert eagle from the city door swooped in from above to fuse with the desert eagle fiend soul, creating a desert eagle with the power of a Body Synthesis Realm cultivator.
The new desert eagle donned golden wings spanning ten metres and a brown glow just as the eagle seen on the city doors. Its red feathers and black claws screamed aggression.
“Swift Hai Dongqing, the fiend servant, was hiding here after all!” Tian Budai’s group arrived at the cave. Mu Yu’s Body Severing Realm cultivation didn’t even interest them.
Mu Yu carefully crept back to the passageway.
Desert eagles were the fastest flying creatures in existence. The king of desert eagles was called Hai Dongqing.
“I never thought the statue on the city doors was Gui Ji’s body. Be careful. Its speed is only second to Desert Eagle Fiend King. We must capture it to find where the fiend king is sealed,” ordered Tian Budai.
“Yes, Young Master!”
“You lot think you’re worthy of laying your hands on our fiend king’s servant, Gui Ji?”
Six fiends looked down at Celestial Star Sect’s team from the stone platform in front of the passageway. Their leader was Long Xinyun, who had ascended to Spirit Severing Realm. Besides the two Body Synthesis Realm elders behind him, the others were all Spirit Severing Realm equivalents.
“About time they showed up,” Mu Yu commented to himself.
Back in the day, fiends under the service of one fiend king would have to seek approval from another fiend king to enter their city despite neither king cutting into the other’s lane. For that reason, Green Dragon Fiend King’s subordinates had no means of using the Yin Corpse Formation to enter Desert Eagle Imperial City in spite of them already camping at Desert Forest some time ago.
“I was hoping you fiends would come,” jibed Tian Budai.
Long Xingyun scoffed, “Tian Budai, you should’ve had your head on a platter ready for me to collect.”
“Why don’t you try commanding this Gui Ji, then?” taunted Tian Budai.
“Whether or not he obeys is doesn’t change the fact that you humans should keep your filthy hands off him.”
When the desert eagle fiend king was sealed away, his subordinates separated Gui Ji’s body and soul, granting him a form of immortality. Due to the circumstances, however, Gui Ji returned. As the second strongest among their race, no one besides Hai Dongqing could command him.
Mu Yu stayed out of the confrontation and hoped for a chance to throw a wrench in their plans since neither of their agendas benefited him.
The desert eagle fiend king statue climbed onto Gui Ji’s back. The statue brayed at Mu Yu, “Filthy human, return Desert Eagle Brilliance at once!”
All hostile eyes were fixated on Mu Yu all of a sudden.
“What? I’m just a mob character here,” Mu Yu stated, thinking, also, what the heck is a Desert Eagle Brilliance?!
