Transcending 10,000 Daos [BL] Chapter 478: Dire Situation

"My ngng likes your music." Mu Huan said and chuckled.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, can I trouble you to put in a little more effort?" The man said with a mocking smile on his face.

Hearing this, Jiang Yue was taken aback.

This was the first ti he encountered soone who was completely unaffected by his illusion music.

Most importantly, the abyss creature seed to enjoy the music.

’Is the creature related to illusions?" Jiang Yue couldn’t help but wonder.

’In that case...’ Jiang Yue frowned.

However, he wasn’t discouraged.

He and Mu Huan had only just begun fighting.

Although the previous attack was powerful, it wasn’t his full strength.

For the ti being, Jiang Yue had no reason to panic.

Thinking this way, a smile curled his lips and he looked at Mu Huan.

"ngng..., what a cute na." He said.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang also thinks so? Look, she likes being praised." Mu Huan said and true to his word, the black smoke was dancing more energetically.

’Creepy.’ Jiang Yue thought but his smile didn’t falter.

"Since she likes my music, I will happily oblige her." He instead said and began to play his Fuyue.

Unfortunately, his music was useless against Mu Huan and his abyss creature.

’This is troubleso.’ Jiang Yue thought and frowned.

’Are illusions completely useless?’ He wondered.

So far, he had yet to use his infinite mont illusion art.

However, this was only the thirty-fifth year of the competition.

If he used his infinite mont illusion art, his most powerful trump card would be exposed.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yue still chose not to expose his infinite mont illusion art.

Instead, he put away his Fuyue and retreated further from Mu Huan.

"Has the deputy mountain master decided to give up?" Mu Huan questioned.

"How is that possible?" Jiang Yue asked with a teasing smile in his eyes.

Since he had an illusion-related origin, he liked using illusion arts.

However, illusions were just one of several thods at his disposal.

Other than illusions, he had formations, body arts, soul arts, soul fire, and his yin-yang fla.

During the one hundred years he and Yu Nianzhen trained in the Boundless Mountain range, they killed hundreds of cultivators.

Among the hundreds, most were treasure-hunting cultivators.

As a result, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen harvested a lot of resources including training manuals from those cultivators.

As early as when they were in the Sea Cloud sect, the two began to cultivate their bodies.

However, their body cultivation was passive.

It only increased their physical strength and enhanced their overall defence against lightning tribulation and enemy attacks.

Fortunately, among the loot they got from treasure-hunting cultivators was a special martial art manual.

The martial arts technique was tailored for body-refiners and took advantage of their great physical strength.

Knowing the limitations of his attack thods, Jiang Yue directly practised the martial arts.

At this ti, after his qi thods failed, he naturally considered his body refining thods.

’Golden Vajra palm art.’ He thought and a crease appeared between his eyebrows.

The Golden Vajra palm art had nine levels.

In the first level, a cultivator could manifest one golden palm.

Two palms at the second level, three at the third, and nine at the ninth level.

At the first level, the palm was equivalent to the full-strength blow of a third-level reincarnation realm cultivator.

Unless the opponent was a body-refining cultivator, one palm was almost enough to defeat cultivators below the fourth level of the reincarnation realm.

However, the Golden Vajra palm art was a body-refining martial art!

This ant that it couldn’t be used from a distance.

If Jiang Yue wanted to use it, he had to get closer to the opponent and fight him in close quarters.

’If it was just the demonic qi, I could get closer. However, ...’ Jiang Yue thought and looked at the black smoke around Mu Huan.

"What a headache." He muttered.

’For now, the Golden Vajra palm is out of the question.’ He decided and continued to consider his options.

Unfortunately, his opponent didn’t plan to give him ti to figure it out.

When Mu Huan saw the thoughtful look on Jiang Yue’s face, he smiled and his face turned gloomier.

"Die for ." He shouted and the black smoke began to spread.

In the blink of an eye, it reached Jiang Yue and he barely had enough ti to retreat three steps.

Unfortunately, three steps were not enough.

Before he could react, the black smoke engulfed him and the world around him disappeared.

"Deputy mountain master Jiang is done for." A spectator said and sighed.

"Is it that bad?" Another asked with confusion etched on his face.

"You don’t know, abyss cultivators are perverted." The knowledgeable spectator started and then continued.

"Abyss creatures hide in demonic qi and their power is unfathomable. As soon as deputy mountain master Jiang allowed the demonic qi to touch him, his life was over."

"I once saw an abyss creature devour the soul of a cultivator."

"This..." A female cultivator shuddered.

"Abyss creatures have different abilities. We don’t know the ability of fellow Daoist Mu Huan’s abyss creature. It’s not guaranteed that deputy mountain master Jiang will lose." Soone argued.

"I think he will lose." Another stated in a confident voice.

"This fellow Daoist, why do you think so?"

"Previously, deputy mountain master Jiang tried everything but none of his attacks worked. He is bound to lose." The spectator said and sighed.

"He is about to lose his life." Another said.

"Fellow Daoist Mu is unkind."

"Unking?" Soone sneered and quickly continued.

"The Cangxing mountain initiated the challenge. If they weren’t prepared to die, they shouldn’t have arrogantly challenged the Reincarnation world."

"I agree with this fellow Daoist. If they die, they have no one to bla but themselves."

As the spectators were arguing, Jiang Yue was in a terrible situation.

When the black smoke engulfed him, he reflectively activated the qi transformation technique.

In this way, he didn’t have to worry about the demonic qi.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about the abyss creature.

In the mont it took to activate the qi transformation technique, the abyss creature attacked.

Less than a breath later, a scream tore out of Jiang Yue’s throat and hot tears stread down his cheeks.

Seeing this, Yu Nianzhen’s eyes turned red and his hands clenched into tight fists.

"XiaoYue...." He subconsciously shouted but his voice resounded in the arena but didn’t receive an answer.

’XiaoYue, you have to hold on.’ Yu Nianzhen prayed and forcibly suppressed the pain in his heart.

At the mont, he wanted to abandon his martial stage and rush to Jiang Yue.

However, a trace of reason stopped him.

As Jiang Yue’s eternal Taoist companion, he could naturally feel his lover’s state.

Because of this, he knew Jiang Yue was not at the end of his rope.

Although the situation was dire, Jiang Yue could still fight.

As long as he could fight, Yu Nianzhen would not interfere.

’After this, XiaoYue will evolve.’ Yu Nianzhen comforted himself and took a deep breath.

He held the breath for five monts and slowly exhaled.

With this, his emotions smoothened and his heart cald down.

’XiaoYue, I am waiting for you.’ He thought.

A mont later, he closed his eyes and began to ditate.

On the small martial stage, Jiang Yue was indeed in a dire situation.

After the abyss creature attacked him, his consciousness was thrust into a black hole.

’Is this the Deep Abyss?’ He wondered.

Unfortunately, he only had ti for that thought before confusion dulled his mind.

"Azhen." He called with a confused look on his face.

In front of him was Yu Nianzhen.

The man was wearing his favourite black robe, black shoes, and his hair was tied with the silver guan given by Yang Xu.

Seeing him, Jiang Yue smiled and instinctively walked towards him.

However, the smile soon turned into a frown.

For so reason, no matter how much he walked, he couldn’t get closer to his beloved husband.

Most importantly, he was beginning to feel tired and his body was getting heavier.

In the blink of an eye, his legs were dead weight and couldn’t be lifted no matter how he tried.

In such a situation, he saw a sharp blade approaching Yu Nianzhen’s throat.

The blade emitted a bright silver light but Yu Nianzhen didn’t seem to see it.

Instead, he was wholeheartedly looking at Jiang Yue with his usual doting smile.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue panicked.

He wanted to warn his lover but his voice wouldn’t co out.

Similarly, he tried to move but his legs were still dead weights and couldn’t be moved.

In desperation, he tried to gesture but Yu Nianzhen thought he was waving and waved back.

’No.’ Jiang Yue scread in his mind but was powerless to stop the silver blade.

A mont later, hot blood splashed on his face and his ntal state directly collapsed.

With the collapse, a pain-filled scream tore out of his mouth and echoed around the martial arena.
