Chapter 552: Illusion

"Click" a bone shattered crisp sound!

Long Zhanye's arms were twisted at a strange angle, and then with a "bang", the Ruyi stick hit his chest with the remaining momentum.

A mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth, his body flew backwards, fell to the ground, and passed out directly.

Ruyibin's iron rod turned around and fell into Shi Mu's hands again.

"Bang"!

Shi Mu's body swayed, and he pushed the Ruyi stick to the ground in front of him with both hands, so he didn't fall down.

There was silence.

The eight-foot universe mirror in mid-air slowly rotated, casting a cyan light curtain, covering the ruins below.

Around the ruins, everyone looked through the light curtain and looked at the figure that hadn't fallen inside, with different expressions.

The strength Shi Mu and Long Zhanye demonstrated in today's battle has far exceeded everyone's expectations, especially the immensity and power of that move, which is almost destructive, giving people an indelible impression. impression.

At this moment, Shi Mu proved to everyone that he is not inferior to the strong in heaven, and all doubts about his strength will disappear by themselves.

Among the surrounding crowd, Qingchangtian, Jiang Shuishui, Chinizi, Ma Long and others looked at Shi Mu's figure with complicated expressions, including surprise, sigh, and admiration.

This human race who joined the Holy Land with them, but in less than 20 years, the strength has reached an incredible level.

Zhao Jian, who was accepted as a personal disciple by Qinglan Sacred Ancestor, was only in a tie with Long Zhanye at that time. Now Long Zhanye has fallen, and Shi Mu is still standing despite being seriously injured.

Lu Jing, Zhao Chenlei, Tie Tuo and others who have had a feud with Shi Mu are looking extremely ugly at this moment.

They had planned to watch a good show, watching what they thought was arrogance being taught a lesson and making a fool of themselves in front of everyone, but it turned out to be the opposite.

On the high platform not far away, Guardian Nangong made a move with one hand, and the eight-foot universe mirror turned into a blue light, which was taken back into his hand.

The one-horned old man Jin Tao flew down somewhere in the ruins below. After checking Long Zhanye's injuries, he stood up, took a deep look at Shi Mu who was not far away, and announced:

"Shi Mu has won the top three of the century-old disciples in a row, and has obtained the qualification to challenge the magic magic way!"

...

Seven days later.

As soon as Shi Mu stepped into the hall of illusion, he saw the old deacon standing in the hall with a respectful face, and beside him stood a middle-aged man in blue shirt with a long sword on his back. Yue Hufa, who is in charge of punishment in the sect.

"Disciple see Yue Hufa." Shi Mu stepped forward and said with cupped hands.

"There is no need to be formal, since the person is here, let's start." Yue Hufa said, nodding to the deacon.

The old deacon understood, stepped forward quickly, and said to Shi Mu:

"Shi Mu, you have now obtained the qualification to enter the magic path of illusion. Before you enter, Guardian Yue will explain some matters to you, and then you can decide whether you are still willing to continue."

When Shi Mu heard this, he just nodded and didn't speak.

"The Dao of Illusory Demons is a fantastic array thousands of years ago, which was jointly set up by several saint-level beings in our sect. There are 18 steps in total, one step is one world, and one thought is one universe. Whether you can get out of this universe depends on the It depends on your mind. Remember, illusions start from your thoughts, and demons are born from your heart. You have been in it for several years or even decades, and to the outside world, it may be just a moment. But because most of your divine thoughts will enter the illusion In the world, if the time is too long, you will be stupid at the slightest, and your soul will die at the worst. There are dangers and unpredictables in this world, do you still insist on breaking through?" Yue Hufa said.

"Disciple has made up his mind, please protect Dharma Yue." Shi Mu said with bright eyes and a firm tone.

"good!"

When Hufa Yue heard this, a look of approval flashed across Gujing's calm eyes.

"Since you have made up your mind, then follow me." The old deacon said, and led Shi Mu towards the inner hall.

Walking into the inner hall, Shi Mu saw a circular formation surrounded by stone pillars on the ground in the center of the inner hall.

On the periphery of the formation, there are thirty-six white stone pillars about ten meters high. On the pillar body is carved a strange beast that looks like a dragon, but has no horns or scales.

The strange beast was wrapped around the stone pillar, and its head protruded from the top of the stone pillar, facing the center of the formation, with its fangs protruding from its big mouth.

Seeing that the strange beast looked really weird, Shi Mu looked at it a few more times, but suddenly remembered that he had seen this kind of strange beast in an ancient book. Its name was mirage, and it was the same type of dragon. , the ability to create something out of nothing, to create illusions.

Looking at the center of the formation, there is still a six-foot black stone with irregular shapes.

The whole body of the black stone is crystal clear, like a crystal, exuding a dazzling luster, and there are faintly detailed and complicated incantations carved on it.

"This is the magic stone. You can establish a connection with it by dropping a drop of your own blood on it." The old deacon said to Shi Mu.

After Shi Mu listened, Guardian Chong Yue and the deacon clasped their hands together, and strode into the formation, with spiritual energy surging in his arms, a drop of dark red blood essence condensed in his palm, and pressed down on the black spar .

As soon as his palm touched the surface of the spar, a ray of light lit up on it, and then a burst of red light shone on the intricate and fine lines, which reflected Shi Mu's face red.

Shi Mu waited for a while, but did not see any other changes. When he was secretly wondering, he heard Guardian Yue say:

"The opening of this magic path must be presided over by at least one holy warrior, and I will open it for you."

After finishing speaking, as soon as he lifted his single pen, a blue light suddenly lit up in the palm of his hand, and shot straight at a white stone pillar.

The moment the white stone pillar inhaled the blue light, it suddenly became extremely bright, looking as crystal clear as jade.

The stone pillar was lit for a while, and the white light on it flowed out, extending towards the stone pillars on both sides, and then, the two stone pillars immediately shone with white light.

In just a moment, all the thirty-six stone pillars were lit up.

Shi Mu saw that the heads of mirage beasts on the top of the stone pillars suddenly moved, opened their mouths wide, and spit out a bright white light towards the center of the formation as if they had come alive.

In an instant, thirty-six dazzling white lights gathered together and shot into the black spar in front of Shi Mu.

I only heard a trembling sound of "嗡".

On the black spar, a black vortex suddenly appeared, and a powerful force of tearing came out from it.

Shi Mu didn't resist at all, allowing that force to pull him into the vortex.

As soon as his figure disappeared, the black vortex also disappeared, and the buzzing sound in the hall no longer resounded.

...

After a while of dizziness, Shi Mu found that his eyes lit up, and he was already in a different dimension.

Shi Mu glanced around, seeing thick black fog billowing in his eyes, as if he was standing in a void.

And in front of him, there is a zigzag path, which looks like it is made of a thin layer of black spar, winding its way to the depths of the dense fog.

He didn't step on that path rashly, but his eyes lit up, his pupils turned golden, and he looked around with his spiritual powers.

However, to his surprise, what he saw through his spiritual eyes was still a thick black mist covering everything.

It wasn't because he couldn't see through the fog, but that apart from the path in front of him, only the thick fog remained in this space.

Since there was only this road in front of him, Shi Mu stopped thinking about it, and then he raised his foot and stepped onto the black crystal path.

As soon as he stepped on it, a very strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, and his heart began to beat violently.

He couldn't help covering his heart, and bent down.

With this bending, Shi Mu saw his own reflection on the spar path, and saw his sharp-edged face.

However, what surprised him was that the self in the reflection was not wearing a blue gown, but a pair of blood-stained golden armor, a round mirror to protect the heart, and a silk ribbon to tighten the belly. Looks like a general.

Shi Mu raised his head suddenly, and there was a whistling sound next to his ear, and a sharp black arrow shot past his ear.

"Ah..." A tragic howl sounded behind him.

He turned his head immediately, and saw a soldier in iron armor holding the black arrow that shot into his eye socket with one hand, howling in pain.

Shocked, Shi Mu immediately glanced around, and saw countless armored soldiers beside him fighting back and forth with weapons in their hands.

In the distance, there were still many archers in light armor holding bows and arrows, constantly shooting black feather arrows towards this side.

The ground was already stained black with blood, many potholes were coagulated with blood that had not yet dried up, the air was filled with bloody smell, and the soaring screams made Shi Mu's ears ache.

"General Shi Pian, lead your troops to kill him immediately!" A loud roar came from Shi Mu's ear, the voice was as loud as thunder, and Shi Mu's heart trembled.

He looked over there, but saw a pile of corpses piled up on a hill, standing a thick and bearded man wearing heavy armor, waving a long moon knife in one hand, and a hideous head in the other. , squinting his eyes and yelling at himself.

What the hell does this happen? How did I become a general?

Shi Mu was in a trance for a while.

At this moment, several soldiers in black armor ran towards Shi Mu with their faces covered in blood, fell to the ground, and shouted:

"Please General Shi lead me out of the encirclement..."

"Break out..."

"Break out..."

Shi Mu looked at the purgatory-like scene around him, his breathing became more and more heavy, his heart beat faster and faster, and a bloodthirsty and violent feeling that gradually surged immediately rushed to his heart.

"kill!"

Shi Mu yelled, and lifted a three-foot saber tightly in his hand.

He strode out, leaped up into the air, clenched his saber with both hands, and with a single slash, he split a heavily armored cavalry oncoming in half, including man and horse.

A gust of fiery blood splashed out with the internal organs, most of which poured on Shi Mu's body, his eyes were almost covered with blood, but there was an indescribable pleasure in his heart. (To be continued.)
