Chapter 132

Who’s Bei Ming? Mu Yi thought .

Mu Yi didn’t know why he was wondering who Bei Ming was right now . When Qu Yang had used the bronze mirror before, he had sensed something strange . It was already too late for him to do anything .

The bronze mirror flashed . Mu Yi felt a part of his mind strength was being controlled . His soul felt stiff . He couldn’t activate any of his mind strength so the copper lamp turned off .

Qu Yang was holding the bronze mirror . His expression was filled with murderous intent . He was the one who had organized all this so he was responsible . He had to succeed .

Bei Ming was the slim woman . Bei Ming’s speed was incredible . When the copper lamp turned off, she quickly arrived in front of Mu Yi . Mu Yi could see her eyes through her mask . They were black and empty . No person who was alive would have eyes like that . She looked detached from it all .

Mu Yi stared at her . He moved his hand to his chest . He was almost powerless in the situation .

After having reached the second difficulty, his mind strength had become six times more powerful than before . Qu Yang’s bronze mirror was powerful though and it had suppressed his mind strength . Mu Yi couldn’t use his most fundamental strength currently .

Mu Yi wasn’t seized with panic . His expression didn’t change . His reaction made Qu Yang feel a bit sad .

At that moment, the Bamboo Tree of Life suddenly appeared behind Mu Yi . Its branches surrounded him . The other end of the Bamboo Tree of Life aimed for Bei Ming .

Bei Ming didn’t have time to dodge . The Bamboo Tree of Life hit her on the head . The Bamboo Tree of Life didn’t look that powerful but Bei Ming shook violently after being hit .

Something emitted a soft sound and as if something had been broken, Mu Yi was free again . He wasn’t paralyzed anymore . He could finally use mind strength . It didn’t feel stiff anymore, so he attacked .

“Bei Ming, come back . ” said Qu Yang hastily .

When Bei Ming heard Qu Yang, she moved towards him and away from Mu Yi . Mu Yi reached out his hand and grabbed hers .

The Bamboo Tree of Life had fourteen nods . It was three chi and three cun . When it was on the ground, it was as tall as Mu Yi’s waist . It was the perfect size . Mu Yi could also use it as a bamboo stick .

Mu Yi was holding the copper lamp in his left hand and the Bamboo Tree of Life in his right hand . He released a substantial amount of Qi .

A moment before, if Nian Nuer hadn’t woken up, Mu Yi would have been in danger . He hadn’t thought Qu Yang’s bronze mirror would be so powerful . It wasn’t in his expectations that it could prevent him from using mind strength . Luckily, the bronze mirror was broken and Qu Yang’s cultivation level wasn’t very high . It was an opportunity for Mu Yi .

Mu Yi had been able to evaluate Qu Yang’s strength . He had also reached the second difficulty . However, Mu Yi didn’t know which step he had reached . Mu Yi found Qu Yang’s cultivation level strange actually .

Even so, Qu Yang was strong . The Qu Mortuary had a bad reputation but nobody had ever tried to eradicate them . It wasn’t that people didn’t feel like it . It was probably that they couldn’t .

Mu Yi was becoming stronger . He also discovered the world of cultivation in a different way . His perception of things was completely different . When Mu Yi was traveling with the old Taoist Priest, he had never seen real ghosts . He had never seen people who practiced Taoism .

People who practiced Taoism were very rare . There were more people who practiced martial arts . After having met strong cultivators who were also swordsmanship experts, he didn’t dare underestimate martial artists .

The first difficulty was only the beginning, and for ordinary people, the second difficulty was like another world . Not everybody was as talented as Mu Yi . He understood magic figures . He had the copper lamp which was a precious treasure . Also, he could carry out sacrificial rituals .

If Mu Yi didn’t have five thunders charms, the copper lamp and the Bamboo Tree of Life, he wouldn’t be able to go very far traveling in the world . Therefore, even though the second difficulty wasn’t actually too powerful, Mu Yi was an exception because of all the things he had .

If Qu Yang didn’t have a religious tool, Mu Yi would have killed him already . Qu Yang and Bei Ming reacted at the same time to Mu Yi’s Qi . They attacked Mu Yi from both sides .

Mu Yi didn’t use the copper lamp again . He raised the Bamboo Tree of Life and attacked . The Bamboo Tree of Life was aimed at Qu Yang’s head . Qu Yang raised the bronze mirror .

A clear and melodious sound spread as they collided . Mu Yi’s arm hurt . He raised the Bamboo Tree of Life again, and Qu Yang took a step back .

When Mu Yi raised the Bamboo Tree of Life, he didn’t stop . He raised his hand as Bei Ming was attacking him and white lights flashed .

Mu Yi groaned . His arm felt numb from the attack but Bei Ming was propelled away . She hit the ground and rolled for a bit . When she got up, she had lost three nails . The tips of her fingers were torn apart and her bones were visible .

Mu Yi had used an evil spirit slaying charm . The reason why Mu Yi’s evil spirit slaying charms were so powerful was because he condensed mind strength into them . His evil spirit slaying charms were stronger now . He wasn’t surprised by the result .

Even though Bei Ming wasn’t unable to battle, she couldn’t use that hand anymore . She could still use the other one and it could pose a threat to Mu Yi . Qu Yang was also looking at him menacingly .

No matter what, Qu Yang had reached the second difficulty . Mu Yi couldn’t afford to underestimate someone who had the same cultivation level as him .

The Bamboo Tree of Life was extremely resilient so Mu Yi wasn’t worried about it colliding against Qu Yang’s bronze mirror . The bronze mirror was somehow related to mind strength . When he had fought against Mo Ruyan, he had realized some things . Mu Yi had the impression that mind strength could be applied to a lot of things .

After sensing that, Mu Yi had used his punching technique with mind strength only once . Since he could apply mind strength to his punching technique, he probably could apply it to the Bamboo Tree of Life too .

He applied mind strength to the Bamboo Tree of Life . The Bamboo Tree of Life aimed precisely at Qu Yang’s head in a perfect arc .
