He could already see that Mu Yun was severely injured by his repeated attacks. Once he unleashed the final seal of the Eight Desolations Chant, Mu Yun would surely be unable to withstand it!
The outcome was already decided.
Even if Mu Yun was incredibly powerful, he would still be defeated by him today.
It was all Mu Yun's fault for being too arrogant and complacent, for not knowing the dangers of possessing a treasure.
Even if Mu Yun used his True Essence Condensation technique, he was still no match for him.
And he had even more powerful techniques yet to be used. ...
Leaning slightly forward, Dongfang Yu's body stood straight as a spear.
A True Essence imprint appeared on his back.
Initially only the size of a palm, it gradually condensed, completely covering Dongfang Yu's back.
"Mu Yun, I'll show you the most powerful force of the Eight Desolations Chant, and let you understand what a true genius is!"
Dongfang Yu stood quietly, but the power within him was constantly accumulating.
Powerful true essence gradually gathered, condensing from his back to his front.
The true essence slowly took shape, its form constantly shifting between his hands.
Finally, the true essence condensed, forming a circular mark on Dongfang Yu's chest.
Half of the circular mark was dark black, the other half bright, forming an eight-trigram pattern.
"Life and Death Desolate Seal!"
With a low murmur, Dongfang Yu's face instantly flushed red, and he even coughed up blood. "
The Eight Desolate Chant is divided into three seals: the Shattering Seal, which shatters a martial artist's heart meridian; the Heaven-Spanning Seal, which disrupts a martial artist's qi meridians, covering the sky and the earth; and the Life and Death Desolate Seal, which completely determines a martial artist's life or death."
"Mu Yun, I will judge your fate today, I will decide your life or death!"
Dongfang Yu's body trembled slightly, but the Life and Death Desolate Seal before him grew increasingly distinct in color, the true essence within it becoming more and more violent, as if it couldn't help but leap out.
"Kill!"
With a low shout, Dongfang Yu charged forward, the Life and Death Desolate Seal following closely behind, the wind howling fiercely.
"Well done!"
Seeing Dongfang Yu unleash the power of the Life and Death Seal, Mu Yun finally witnessed the full might of the Eight Desolations Chant.
He didn't retreat, he didn't linger.
He struck out with both hands, this time, Mu Yun intended to withstand it head-on.
The true essence within his body came from the Immortal Slaughtering Diagram.
The true essence within the Immortal Slaughtering Diagram was incredibly powerful, far surpassing anything in the Three Thousand Small Worlds.
The previous condensation of true essence was merely an experiment.
This time, it was the true condensation of true essence!
"Empty Fist, Empty Shield, Empty Blade!"
With a low shout, true essence gathered before Mu Yun, terrifying true essence converging into streams,
rivers, and oceans. This time, Mu Yun unleashed the true essence left by the Immortal Slaughtering Diagram within his body, leaving nothing behind.
The Empty Fist caused true essence to gather in Mu Yun's hands.
His left hand held a Kongming Shield formed from true essence, crystal clear.
His right hand gripped a large, resilient, and upright blade condensed from true essence.
The Kongming Shield, the strongest defense; the Void Blade, the strongest attack.
Dongfang Yu was prepared, so how could Mu Yun be unprepared?
"So what if you condense true essence? I don't believe your true essence can be so resilient!" A ruthless glint appeared on Dongfang Yu's face.
"We'll only know after we try!"
With the True Essence Shield condensing, Mu Yun was filled with fighting spirit. He desperately wanted to know just how powerful this Life and Death Desolate Seal truly was!
"Break!"
Dongfang Yu pressed forward, his powerful pressure instantly overwhelming Mu Yun like a tidal wave.
Bang…
A loud explosion rang out, almost instantly.
The Void Shield shattered!
Bang…
The next moment, Mu Yun raised his right hand and slashed at the Life and Death Desolate Seal with all his might.
However, another bang rang out, and the Void Blade shattered again!
Everything happened too fast, so fast that Miao Xianyu on the other side didn't even have time to react.
Mu Yun, despite being at the fifth level of the Physical Body Realm, could achieve the True Essence Condensation Technique, a feat typically accomplished only by those at the ninth level of the Spirit Realm. Yet, even so, he was utterly defeated before Dongfang Yu's Life and Death Desolate Seal.
However, even now, Miao Xianyu still saw a madness in Mu Yun's eyes.
Yes, madness, not fear.
It seemed the stronger the Life and Death Desolate Seal, the greater his joy.
Was this truly the same timid and submissive Instructor Mu Yun of the past?
"Block? What will you use to block? Block my Life and Death Desolate Seal!"
Dongfang Yu laughed loudly, the Life and Death Desolate Seal leaving his hand and slamming into Mu Yun's chest.
A
muffled thud sounded, and Miao Xianyu's mouth opened, her face turning deathly pale.
The Life and Death Desolate Seal had actually pierced directly into Mu Yun's chest.
She had already witnessed the Life and Death Desolate Seal instantly destroying the Void Shield and Void Blade; now, piercing directly into Mu Yun's body, what kind of Mu Yun…?
"Instructor Mu…"
Miao Xianyu covered her lips with her hand, her heart pounding in her throat.
"Haha..."
Seeing Mu Yun withstand the Life and Death Seal with his own body, Dongfang Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Mu Yun, the stronger you are, the more it proves the power of the treasure within your body. This time, I'll kill you, obtain your treasure, and the title of the number one genius in Beiyun City will undoubtedly belong to me, Dongfang Yu!"
"Dongfang Yu, I never expected you to be such a beast in human form!" Miao Xianyu glared angrily at Dongfang Yu with her almond-shaped eyes, wishing she could kill him.
However, although Dongfang Yu was already at his limit, Miao Xianyu understood that with her Yi Jin Realm cultivation, she was no match for him.
"Kill me?"
Turning around, Dongfang Yu's lips parted, his voice hoarse as he said, "You think you're worthy? Miao Xianyu, if your grandfather weren't Master Miaoqing, what would you be? Besides, if I kill you, no one will know what happened here. When we return to Beiyun City, I can easily say that Mu Yun coveted you, Instructor Jin Dong happened to discover it, and was killed by Mu Yun. I just happened to be passing by and killed Mu Yun. It's just that Mu Yun was so ruthless that he dragged you down with him before he died!"
"So many coincidences, you're dreaming!"
"With my reputation, Dongfang Yu, no one in the entire Beiyun City would doubt these coincidences!" Dongfang Yu said arrogantly.
"Tch, you're shameless!"
Just as Dongfang Yu finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Mu Yun!"
Turning around, Dongfang Yu froze when he saw Mu Yun standing up unharmed.
"Impossible! You couldn't possibly be alive after being hit by my Life and Death Desolation Seal! I clearly broke through your shield and sword; how could your body withstand the attack of the Life and Death Desolation Seal?"
"If it were your body, judging from your weak state, you definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it. But I'm different!"
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as Mu Yun stood up resolutely.
"Instructor Mu!"
Seeing Mu Yun miraculously stand up again, Miao Xianyu's heart settled.
Before she knew it, tears welled up in her eyes.
Mu Yun's life and death were not just about his own; they also involved her.
With Mu Yun's cultivation level, he could have easily fled from Jin Dong and Dongfang Yu, but he didn't.
"Trash, die!"
Dongfang Yu raised his hand, trying to gather his true essence again.
*Thump*...
Only a slight thump sounded, and the true essence in his palm uncontrollably extinguished.
"Idiot, after repeatedly using the Shattered Seal, the Heaven-Reaching Seal, and the Life-and-Death Desolate Seal of the Eight Desolate Chant, are you sure you still have true essence?" Mu Yun said confidently.
"You..."
Indeed, he was only at the seventh level of the Condensing Essence Realm, and the amount of true essence in his meridians was limited.
If he had reached the eighth level of the Gathering Core Realm, with his true essence
gathered in his dantian, he could easily use the Eight Desolate Chant three or five times, let alone once.
"Damn it!"
Dongfang Yu hadn't expected that Mu Yun, who had endured the Life-and-Death Desolate Seal, would still be alive!
"Hmph, even so, you definitely don't have much true essence left in your body. Moreover, having endured the Life and Death Desolation Seal, I don't believe you can still fight me!"
"Sorry!"
Mu Yun smiled slightly, true essence appearing on his hands, spreading across his fists.
The Void Shield and Void Blade reappeared in his hands.
"Young Master Dongfang, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you!"
What!
Seeing that Mu Yun still had true essence in his body, Dongfang Yu's face turned ashen.
What was going on?
Mu Yun was not even at the seventh level of cultivation, yet he already possessed true essence in his body, which was truly unbelievable.
And now, his own true essence was completely exhausted, but Mu Yun still had a continuous flow of true essence.
"Come on, I'll stand here and let you hit me!"
Mu Yun's blade and shield clashed, producing a clanging sound, as he mocked.
"Mu Yun, this time I, Dongfang Yu, have fallen into your trap. Next time, I will definitely not let you go!"
Dongfang Yu said, his body leaping into the air, actually trying to escape.
"Trying to run?"
Seeing Dongfang Yu's body leap into the air, Mu Yun instantly threw out the Void Blade in his hand.
With a soft thud, the gleaming blade struck Dongfang Yu's thigh, sending him crashing to the ground, blood gushing uncontrollably.
"Mu Yun, don't push your luck!"
"You want to kill me, but I can't kill you?" Mu Yun sneered.
"You forced me to!"
Seeing Mu Yun's cold smile, Dongfang Yu seemed to make a sudden, desperate decision, gritting his teeth.
With that, Dongfang Yu struggled to his feet, ignoring the wound on his thigh, his face contorted with rage as he glared at Mu Yun.
"If you won't let me live, then I'll take you down with me!"
"Eight Desolations Chant, with my body as the seal, I will seal heaven and earth!"
With a roar, Dongfang Yu's entire body exploded, crackling sounds echoing through every meridian within him.
At this moment, it seemed he was completely activating his meridians, setting himself ablaze.
"Mu Yun, come to hell with me!"
Black smoke billowed from Dongfang Yu's entire body.
The black smoke continued to burn, emitting black flames, and Dongfang Yu's body gradually disintegrated.
However, along with the spreading wisps of black flames, a deathly aura continuously erupted, swirling towards Mu Yun.
