C10 A Strategy for Delaying the War

Mu Yun felt a sharp wind from the knife approaching him. He opened his eyes slightly, and with a thought, Mu Yun appeared in his hand. However, he did not try to block it. With a tap of his feet, he left the Elixir Pool.

At this time, Mu Yun's cultivation had stopped at the peak of Martial Spirit Stage, and he was only one step away from advancing into the Martial Essence Stage. With his current reserves of spirit energy, he could support him using the third sword of the Ninth Layer Sword, and adding the fact that his spirit energy was four to five times stronger than others, not to mention Wang Hao who was at the peak of Martial Spirit Stage, even people at the first or second level of Martial Essence Stage, he was confident that he could easily deal with him.

However, he chose to evade because his meridians were severely damaged. Although the recovery speed of the broken sword had increased by several times, it was still only 20%, so he could only use 20% of his strength right now. If he forcefully used his spirit energy to attack, he could release around 40% of his attack power, but he only had one chance to attack.

As a result, the moment he came out of the spirit liquid pool, he suppressed his cultivation down to the ninth level, so no one could see that he had already broken through to the peak of the Martial Spirit Stage. He was afraid that once Wang Hao and the others found out about his cultivation, they would attack him together.

"Kid, hand over your cultivation technique and I'll spare your lives." Seeing that he had forced Mu Yun out of the Lava Pond, Wang Hao no longer pursued him relentlessly. Instead, he was determined to obtain Mu Yun's cultivation technique. As for how he would deal with Mu Yun and the others, that would depend on his mood.

"Really?" The corner of Mu Yun's mouth slightly curled up, he was actually happy about this. Right now, time was the thing that he needed the most, as long as he was given time, Wang Hao and the others would not be a threat to him. So, he pretended to be excited, as if he was a dying person grasping at straws.

At this time, the gray fog released by the broken sword in his body was still continuing, just like in the spirit liquid pool, constantly rushing into his damaged meridians, repairing them. At this rate, he would be able to recover to 30% in a quarter of an hour and 40% in a quarter of an hour, then at that time, he would be able to display 60 to 70% of his strength.

"Of course it's true. I, Wang Hao, will never go back on my word." As long as he obtained Mu Yun's cultivation technique, his cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds in the future. One day, he would surpass his elder brother and even become the number one disciple of Divine Knife Sect. In order to show his sincerity, he had even kept the blade inside the Storage Bag.

"Then tell him to stop first." Mu Yun pointed at Wu Jun and Miao Si who were still fighting together, and also placed the Flowing Cloud into the Ninth Layer Ring.

At this moment, Miao Si's situation was not looking good. Although Bi Yue was on the losing end when she fought Wu Jun, Miao Si was no match for Bi Yue after she broke away from the battle. She had several wounds on her body, and if they continued to fight, she would die within a few minutes.

"Wu Jun, stop." Wang Hao shouted at Wu Jun, then looked at Mu Yun, "Is it okay now?"

Wu Jun and Miao Si both stopped battling. Wu Jun walked up behind Wang Hao with a cold smile on her face. Miao Si, on the other hand, was panting heavily. She stood on the spot, swaying unsteadily on her feet. Mu Yun quickly walked over and reached out to support Miao Si. "Are you alright?"

Mu Yun didn't pay attention to Wang Hao. Instead, he was supporting Miao Si with concern. What he wanted now was all kinds of delays. He was very clear in his heart that if Wang Hao didn't have that so-called cultivation technique, he definitely wouldn't easily make a move against him.

"You can do it now right, kid, hand over your cultivation technique." Seeing that Mu Yun ignored him, Wang Hao shouted impatiently, "If you want to talk about love, just hand the cultivation technique to me. You can talk about it however you want once you return."

"I... I, I'm fine. " Miao Si's face turned red, and her heartbeat quickened unconsciously.

There had never been a man who cared about her so much before. Perhaps there had been, but she just didn't take it to heart. But this young man in front of him, with his concerned eyes and gentle words, had saved his life time and time again. His talent was so strong, moreover, how could he be so handsome?

Mu Yun, on the other hand, didn't know that his plan to delay the war had planted a seed of love in the girl's heart and was sprouting and growing vigorously.

"What are you so anxious for?" Mu Yun pretended to be unhappy, "We are all here and they are all injured. Do you think they can still run? Let me check their injuries first."

"Hand over the cultivation technique and look at your injuries. If you want to marry them, that's fine too. Don't waste any more time." Wang Hao was getting impatient. He kept feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

"Alright, I'll hand the cultivation technique over to you." Mu Yun looked at Wang Hao. "But I have a request." He also noticed that Wang Hao was getting impatient and was afraid that he would enrage him if he continued, so he agreed and took the opportunity to make another request.

"What request?" A glint flashed across Wang Hao's eyes. Just thinking about how he was about to get that cultivation technique, he was extremely excited.

"This cultivation technique is a secret that my sect doesn't want to pass on to me. If I pass it to you, then I will be hunted down by my sect, and I will die for sure. So, I want to split half of the spirit liquid to increase my cultivation base, so that I have a better chance of survival." Mu Yun invented a sect and had a reason to negotiate normally, which also increased the time delay.

"Half, no." Wang Hao rejected the offer flatly. "I'll only give you 10% at most." Wang Hao originally wanted to agree at once, but after thinking about it again, he was afraid that he would agree too readily, which would make Mu Yun suspicious.

"Four out of nine."

"One fifth."

"..."

Mu Yun and Wang Hao each had their own thoughts and constantly haggled. Finally, they reached a consensus at three out of ten.

"Alright, now hand over the cultivation method and you can take away three tenths of the spirit liquid. Then, we'll go our separate ways." Wang Hao stretched out his hand towards Mu Yun.

"No, I have to get the spiritual liquid first before I give you the cultivation technique. Who knows if you will go back on your word if I give you the cultivation technique." Mu Yun kept shaking his head.

"Kid, don't refuse a toast only to be punished." Wang Hao's extended hand was immediately filled with spiritual energy, as if he would attack the moment there was a disagreement.

He did not dare let Mu Yun near the Spirit Liquid Pool, he still remembered the scene where Mu Yun absorbed the Spirit Liquid very clearly. If he let Mu Yun absorb it a little longer, he would be able to break through the ninth level of Martial Spirit Stage and reach the peak of the Martial Spirit Stage. If he knew that Mu Yun didn't attack him due to his physical injury, he wondered how he would feel.

"Then let's just waste time like this." Mu Yun acted like nothing was happening, not giving in at all.

"You want to waste your time with me? Dream on." With a flash, Wang Hao grabbed Miao Si, "Hand over the cultivation technique or she'll die."

"Despicable." Miao Si said bitterly, then shouted at Mu Yun, "Mu Yun, don't worry about me."

"Alright, stop. I promise you." Mu Yun wasn't a good person, but he wouldn't let anyone get hurt or even die because of him.

"It's good to be like this earlier." Wang Hao let go of Miao Si's hand and said with a satisfied expression, "Hand it over."

"Okay, listen well." Mu Yun cleared his throat and read aloud, "Qi into the Dantian, then through the mingmen, then into the Xuanshu..."

"Stop." Wang Hao waved his hand and interrupted Mu Yun, "Follow me." As Wang Hao spoke, he stepped out of the cave. "Both of you, keep an eye on them."

"Yes, we definitely won't let them escape." Wu Jun promised Zhao Wen. However, in his heart, he began to criticize, "Damn it, you want to keep it for yourself again?"

"Mu Yun." Mu Hai worriedly shouted, and constantly winked at Mu Yun, hinting him to find the right opportunity to run.

Mu Yun looked at Mu Hai. The corner of his mouth slightly raised as he cast a look of relief. Then, he slowly followed Wang Hao out.
