Chapter 277: Illusion Confrontation
"Hula"
Three blood-colored bats flew out from the blood light between Sha Hao's eyebrows.
Then, Sha Hao stepped into the valley without hesitation and walked quickly. Three blood bats roamed and danced within a range of more than ten feet away from him, always exploring the surrounding situation.
Along the way, he did not find anything unusual, but he became suspicious and began to slow down.
As a result, after he walked more than ten feet away, he suddenly looked back.
I saw that on the way here, wisps of white mist began to float, giving people a dreamlike sense of unreality. I don't know when, there was a faint sweet smell in the air.
Sha Hao suddenly woke up and immediately held his breath. He wanted to retreat, but his body movements were a little sluggish.
"Boom", the ground at his feet suddenly exploded, and a large piece of smoke and dust floated up, drowning everything in the valley.
"Ka La"
Four or five green wooden dragons broke out of the ground, each of them was four or five feet long, as thick as a bucket, and pounced at Sha Hao with their fangs and claws.
Under the cover of wooden dragons and smoke and dust, the Cold Star Sword and the Willow Leaf Chain Knife shot out from the nearby jungle and hit Sha Hao's body.
Sha Hao was shocked but not confused. He clapped his hands on his waist, and a yellow light suddenly rose up, forming an elliptical shield around him.
The wooden dragon, the Cold Star Sword, and the Willow Leaf Chain Knife slashed on it, and the elliptical shield trembled constantly, but did not collapse.
The jungle not far away exploded with a "boom", and a white phantom shot out from it, and instantly arrived in front of Sha Hao. It was the White Ape King Kong.
King Kong's two arms flew up and down, and his fists dunked down and hit the yellow shield hard.
A wave of overwhelming force burst out from his fists, and the yellow light curtain shattered with a sound.
King Kong's arms did not stop at all, and they grabbed Sha Hao's body tightly like iron hoops and tore it violently.
Sha Hao's body was torn apart with a "puff" sound, and blood-red objects were scattered everywhere in the two bloody remains.
In the nearby jungle, Yuan Ming was wearing a gray cloak, hiding all his breath, and his body was assimilated into the nearby grass.
When he saw this scene, his face suddenly changed, and his body rolled to the side to dodge.
A silver light shot out and flew past his ears, and the sharp wind left several blood marks on his ears and cheeks.
The remains of Sha Hao on the ground also turned into a group of foam-like white light, which quickly dissipated and disappeared.
"Illusion!" Yuan Ming's face suddenly darkened, and he was even more unbelievable.
Since Sha Hao entered the valley, he has been on guard all the time. When did he fall into Sha Hao's illusion?
Yuan Ming did not panic. He waved his hand to recall several magic tools, and then frantically operated the Dark Moon Art, trying to break the illusion as before.
However, no matter how he operated the power of his soul, he still did not find any breakthrough.
Four or five silver lights flashed in the nearby void, the same as before, and shot towards him.
Just as Yuan Ming was about to block, King Kong flashed and flew near Yuan Ming, with golden light on his body, and the other two ape arms emerged from behind, facing the silver lights.
The expected collision sound did not appear, and King Kong's fist easily penetrated the silver lights. It turned out to be a false illusion again.
Yuan Ming's eyes sank slightly. The silver lights just now were exactly the same as the previous silver lights in terms of aura and appearance. His consciousness did not find anything wrong, but it was an illusion. It seemed that Sha Hao's illusion was more terrible than he expected.
At this moment, the surrounding environment changed again, and a large area of gray-white fog emerged out of thin air, and the visual scene changed completely in an instant.
The white ape King Kong became impatient, and the four fists attacked the surroundings crazily.
A wave of overwhelming fists hit the gray-white fog, but it was like a drop in the ocean. Except for making the fog surge, there was no effect at all.
"King Kong, don't waste your energy. I have something to ask you. How did you get out of Sha Hao's illusion?" Yuan Ming stopped the white ape and asked.
"I don't know how I recovered all of a sudden. Didn't you, the master, help me break the illusion?" King Kong said in confusion.
Yuan Ming remained silent. At that time, he wanted to break Hua Zhi and King Kong's illusion, but before he could do anything, the two of them returned to normal.
He thought carefully about the situation at that time. King Kong and Hua Zhi suddenly woke up when he was riding the white jade shuttle into the air.
"Could it be that Sha Hao's illusion can only be performed at close range, and once out of range, the illusion will automatically become invalid?" Yuan Ming suddenly thought of a possibility, decisively sacrificed the white jade shuttle, and then pulled King Kong up.
The spiritual light on the white jade shuttle became thicker and rushed into the sky.
However, before he flew far, there was a loud "bang" and he and the shuttle hit a heavy and hard object, which seemed to be a mountain wall.
"I was clearly flying upwards, why did I hit the mountain wall? Did my sense of direction get messed up?" Yuan Ming turned over and stabilized his body, his face becoming even gloomier.
At this moment, a strange expression suddenly flashed across his face, and then he returned to normal, turned around and flew back to the ground, pinched his hands, and performed the Fire Cloud Secret Technique at a very fast speed.
A red light column rushed to a height of more than ten feet, and in the blink of an eye, a dense fire cloud was formed.
As soon as the fire cloud was formed, the surrounding void flashed silver light again, and more than a dozen silver lights whistled and hit Yuan Ming from all directions.
Although King Kong was brave, he could not stop all the silver lights.
Yuan Ming's face was unusually calm, and he pinched his hands and pointed.
More than a dozen huge red fireballs came from the sky and collided with those silver lights.
Boom!
All the fireballs exploded, forming a raging sea of fire around them, engulfing all the silver lights.
Almost all the silver light was an illusion, only the silver light at the back was real, penetrating the obstruction of the sea of fire and heading straight for Yuan Ming's head at an extremely fast speed.
A white shadow flashed by King Kong and blocked behind Yuan Ming, and a new ape arm shot out dazzling golden light, blocking the silver light.
King Kong's fist was pierced by the silver light, forming a blood hole, and blood splattered, but its eyelids did not move at all, as if it was not injured.
Yuan Ming glanced at the wound on King Kong's fist, with a look of heartache on his face, and accelerated the activation of the fire cloud in the air.
One by one, huge fireballs fell from the sky, falling like raindrops.
Boom!
Everything nearby was engulfed by flames, the gray-white fog was completely torn apart, and the quiet valley reappeared.
Many cliffs on both sides collapsed, the vegetation in the valley was devastated, and smoke and dust were splashed into the sky, and huge cracks were blown out of the ground.
However, Sha Hao did not show up, nor did he reveal any breath fluctuations.
Yuan Ming did not stop the Fire Cloud Secret Art. He held the middle-grade spirit stone in his hand and frantically replenished his mana while activating the Fire Cloud Art. Fireballs continued to hit various parts of the valley. Judging from the momentum, it seemed that the entire valley was going to be blown up.
In the surging smoke and dust, Sha Hao's body turned into an invisible figure, dodging the falling fireballs left and right, and slowly approached Yuan Ming.
The three blood bats floated above his head, opening their mouths to face Yuan Ming, as if spewing something.
Sha Hao quickly approached Yuan Ming within ten feet, grabbed the silver round bead, and used his mana to infuse it.
As the silver round bead spun, all four runes were activated, and a silver light shot out from it.
This time the silver light was completely different from the previous one, it was extremely slender, and the speed was several times faster.
Before Yuan Ming could react, he was pierced through the chest and fell to the ground.
The fire cloud in the air became chaotic and quickly disintegrated.
Sha Hao nodded with satisfaction. The slender silver light just now was a special attack of the round bead that he had used up a lot of mana to activate. It was not only powerful, but also extremely fast. Even a cultivator at the peak of foundation building might not be able to dodge it.
The only disadvantage of this move is that the attack range is narrow. The master must hold a magic weapon and trigger it at close range.
Sha Hao put away the silver round bead and came to Yuan Ming's body.
The suppression of soul cultivators in the Central Plains is even worse than that in the southern border. It was really beyond his expectation to meet a soul cultivator here.
Now that Yuan Ming is dead, it is meaningless to pursue this. However, soul cultivators are rare. Sha Hao is quite curious about Yuan Ming's master and origin, as well as the soul cultivation method he practiced. He reached out to touch the storage ring in his hand, but grabbed nothing.
Yuan Ming's body suddenly turned into a phantom and disappeared out of thin air.
"Illusion!" Sha Hao suddenly changed color and quickly formed a strange seal with his hands.
His soul burst into a wisp of crystal light, and then shook violently. The soul power in the sea of consciousness set off a huge shock, with the soul as the center, and quickly spread to the entire sea of consciousness.
Sha Hao's vision shattered like a mirror, breaking free from the influence of the illusion.
The next moment, he felt a scorching wave of air coming from above his head, but it turned out to be seven or eight huge fireballs flying towards him, already within three feet.
Sha Hao hurriedly flew back, but his speed was no match for the exploding fireballs, and he was caught up in the blink of an eye, and seven or eight fireballs exploded at the same time.
With a loud bang that shook the earth, the deep red flames engulfed Sha Hao's body, and then turned into a mushroom-shaped pillar of fire, rushing up to a height of more than ten feet.
The scorching air swept across, the ground shook, and the entire valley trembled slightly.
However, the next moment, Sha Hao's figure swept out of the pillar of fire and fled quickly into the distance.
His clothes were torn, revealing a golden inner armor on his upper body. He was safe and sound under the violent attack of the Fire Cloud Secret Art, without even a scratch.
The golden inner armor protected Sha Hao's upper body, but failed to protect his lower body. Sha Hao's legs were covered in blood, and some places even exposed white bones. His body staggered as he fled.
A figure chased him from behind. It was Yuan Ming, who pinched his fingers and pointed at the fire cloud in the air.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Four or five huge fireballs shot down, emitting even more magic power than before, and chased Sha Hao with a whistle.
Sha Hao's legs were injured, and he was caught up by the fireballs in the blink of an eye. He gritted his teeth and took out a yellow talisman and crushed it. A yellow magic circle immediately appeared under his feet.
A dazzling yellow light burst out, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the ground, quickly escaping into the distance.
Several fireballs hit the empty space and landed on the mountain wall behind, exploding with a loud bang.
The mountain wall collapsed, and large and small rubble flowed down like a flood.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming did not chase after him. He stood in place and spread his consciousness in all directions, sensing Sha Hao's breath.
