Chapter 1088 It’s Time to Make a Choice
The Taiyin Fire rushed into Duanliu City, aggressive but without murderous intent. It stopped above the city wall, like a huge red pupil, observing the situation in the city.
Hundreds of thousands of souls left the Great Bright Mirror, invisible to the naked eye. The spells that escorted them appeared as a faint purple mist. Mu Xingqiu's spells, which he had always kept in reserve, went up to meet them, transformed into a paper bird, and protected nearby.
The eight drops of water and eight balls of fire had stopped chasing each other, guarding the periphery, waiting to destroy the Kunhun spells brought out by the souls.
"There are foreign spells." Mu Xingqiu cancelled a drop of water and spoke to Qin Lingshuang in the form of a wandering spirit.
Qin Lingshuang would not know that he had cast the tenth spell, so Mu Xingqiu pretended not to recognize this Taiyin Fire, let alone the caster in the distance.
"Don't worry about it, deal with Kunhun's spells first." A ball of fire also turned into a wandering spirit.
"Okay." Mu Xingqiu decided to wait and see. At this time, he was more inclined to believe Yang Qingyin's statement: everything that happened before was indeed a bit strange. He and Qin Lingshuang seemed to have really changed a little. This change was extremely clever and subtle. It seemed that it did not violate his nature, but when he thought about it carefully, there was something wrong.
Mu Xingqiu would not forget that Kun Dun had forced him to have some incoherent memories, all related to Qin Lingshuang.
"I will use the soul technique to imitate Kun Dun's spell. The last magic guard in the Great Light Mirror will come out soon. You will be responsible for annihilating it later, and I will block the retreat."
"Okay." Mu Xingqiu was very puzzled about how Qin Lingshuang imitated Kun Dun's spell, but he did not ask.
Time passed little by little, and the Taiyin Fire sent by Yang Qingyin did not move for a long time, probably because she realized that Mu and Qin were performing serious spells at this time, not playing around.
"Here it comes." Qin Lingshuang issued a warning, and the divine wandering technique turned into fire again.
Mu Xingqiu's water drops also increased to eight, plus a paper bird, a total of nine spells. To outsiders, he had tried his best, but in fact the tenth spell had been quietly sent out and stopped beside him, just like Yang Qingyin's Taiyin Fire, observing the situation in the city, one in the light and the other in the dark.
Kun Dun's spells were invisible and traceless. When it received the order from the "master", it had to execute it, walk out of the spell forest where it was hiding, leave the Great Bright Mirror, and as soon as it poked its head out, it knew it had been fooled.
Spells have no consciousness, and naturally there is no distinction between true and false, but they follow some basic rules. Qin Lingshuang imitated Kun Dun's thoughts, but could not provide Kun Dun's magic power. Once the last Kun Dun spell in the Great Bright Mirror could not detect the master's magic power, it would immediately return to the magic weapon.
But it had no way out. On the sunset lake, a ball of fire hit the two mirrors, and they burst into light at the same time, soaring into the sky, hundreds of feet high. The entire Duanliu City and the ground a hundred miles away were shaking, and a large number of cracks appeared in the ice in the rivers and lakes in an instant.
Yin Buchen was shocked, and the monkeys were even more panicked, running around like headless flies. They usually liked to drill underground, but now it was the ground that was shaking. Suddenly, there was no way out. I don’t know which monkey got the idea first and jumped onto Yin Buchen’s shoulder. Other monkeys followed suit. If they couldn’t jump up, they climbed up. In an instant, more than forty monkeys piled up together again, like a shaky flagpole.
Yang Qingyin remained calm, and the black phoenix in the sky was not panicked. The Taiyin Fire in the distance was still there. Yin Buchen was relieved a little, thinking that his dignity could still be maintained for a while.
Kun Dun's spell was blocked outside the Great Bright Mirror. For it, there was only one choice, that is, to defeat all the blockers and return to the magic weapon.
This is not an offensive spell. Its duty is to leave the mark of Kun Dun in the treasure and prevent others from using the most core power of the Great Bright Mirror. It has been doing very well. No matter how high Qin Lingshuang's realm is, he can only use the Great Bright Mirror as a high-grade magic weapon, far from exerting its full potential.
The second flame rushed towards the Great Bright Mirror, and the flames soared into the sky, and the ground shook and the ice cracked.
Qin Lingshuang's two defenses were connected, and the time was very short. Mu Xingqiu's eight drops of water came at the same time, surrounding Kun Dun's mark. Ye Yan
The mark can no longer maintain its invisible state, it must take the initiative to protect itself.
A gust of wind rose almost close to the two mirrors. Although it was wind, it was as heavy as a mountain, crushing a large piece of lake ice in an instant, and only the two mirrors did not move.
Eight drops of water kept splitting, turning into countless pieces of ice, tightly wrapped around the wind. From a distance, it looked like an ice whirlwind, three or four hundred feet high, swaying, and under the shining of the stars, it looked like a giant dragon rising from the ground.
Dozens of miles away, Yin Buchen opened his eyes wide, and a string of monkeys on his shoulders swayed with the ice whirlwind, but they were much smaller.
The mark was not destroyed, and it rushed around the two mirrors on the sunset lake. Mu Xingqiu's broken ice tried to push it away. When it was really dangerous, Qin Lingshuang separated a ball of light and fire and returned to the Great Bright Mirror to block the retreat.
Kun Dun poured several spells into all the treasures. The mark was by no means the strongest among them, but it was the most stubborn guard. Mu Xingqiu had never had such a hard time removing other types of spells in the ancestral tower before.
Qin Lingshuang recalled six balls of fire in succession, leaving only two balls still circling around the Great Bright Mirror. The momentum of the Kun Dun Mark finally weakened, and was slowly pushed away by the broken ice formed by eight drops of water, getting farther and farther away from the two mirrors.
This trick of luring the snake out of its hole is about to succeed, and the Great Bright Mirror will become the first treasure that is completely out of Kun Dun's control.
Mu Xingqiu had no idea how to explain such a strange thing. Soon, he had no time to think about it.
He and Qin Lingshuang each created a spell to protect 100,000 souls. One was in the form of a purple mist, and the other was a talisman paper bird. Their mission was to send the souls back to the Patriarch Tower. The soul after leaving the physical body is very fragile, so it does not move very fast. The battle on Xizhao Lake has been going on for a while, and Paper Bird and Yin Yun have just marched into the city.
The imprint has no thinking, but it has tactics. When it found that there was no way out, it became violent and no longer tried to rush towards the Great Mirror of Light. Instead, it changed its direction and rushed towards the 100,000 souls in the city.
Mu Xingqiu's magic had been pushing the mark away from the Great Light Mirror, and now it became a boost. The ice whirlwind was like a wild horse, leaving a long ravine on the lake. The frozen city wall looked like paper. , unable to block the powerful spell, he was hit with a gap in the blink of an eye.
Mu Xingqiu hurriedly adjusted his spell, and the broken ice pushed the whirlwind toward the ground.
The mark stopped, stretching out dozens of branches to catch the slowly moving hundred thousand souls.
The paper bird came forward, turned into a pale golden dragon, and blocked the branches of the mark. This dragon looked so real that Yin Buchen outside the city even exclaimed in surprise before he remembered that there were no real dragons in the world, only exotic beasts like the South China Sea Dragon Monster Clan and the Ashan Black Dragon.
The battle became more intense. Although the imprinted whirlwind was getting shorter and shorter, it did not admit defeat and stretched out more and more branches. Mu Xingqiu's eight drops of water and a total of nine spells from a golden dragon were not enough.
The power of his tenth spell is too weak and there is no point in participating in the battle.
Qin Lingshuang's purple mist escorted the soul and could not be separated. The remaining two groups of fire joined the battle, so the whirlwind had an extra layer of fire clothing in addition to the ice armor. The two did not interfere with each other and cooperated extremely well.
The closer to destruction, the fiercer the resistance of the imprinted whirlwind. Even though it was compressed to less than fifty feet, Mu Xingqiu did not dare to be careless and cast the spell with all his strength.
Five of the six fires remaining in the Great Light Mirror rushed out, and the fire clothes became more powerful. The mark was finally suppressed and the branches were retracted. Although there were still ups and downs, they were like bubbling mud, with not much strength left.
Mu Xingqiu's tenth spell was patrolling inside and outside the city, observing silently. What he cared about was not the lunar fire on the wall, but the spells that he had fought with Yang Qingyin before. They came from Duanliu City, not His spell didn't seem to be related to Qin Lingshuang. In short, its origin was unknown, but it disappeared without a trace.
Under the suppression of the two forces of ice and water, the imprinted whirlwind slowly came to an end. It occasionally resisted, but was as powerless as a stranded fish.
Qin Lingshuang separated a ball of fire, turned into a breeze, and said loudly: "Mu Xingqiu, let me introduce you. This is Yang Qingyin, Mu Dong'er's mother."
Yang Qingyin had already arrived, floating behind the lunar fire, with the black phoenix hovering more than ten feet above her head.
Mu Xingqiu remained silent because he didn't know what to say.
"You asked Yin Buchen to invite her here." Qin Lingshuang's voice continued to sound in the wind, "Stop running away, Mu Xingqiu, it's time for you to make a choice."
"Choose?" Yang Qingyin spoke, her tone cold and wary, "Qin Lingshuang, when did you and I fall into a situation where we have to be chosen? This is not the you I remember."
"Everyone is making a choice, Yang Qingyin, and so are you and me. Didn't you choose to come here?"
"My choice is to rescue people. You two had better check your Niwan Palace. I'm afraid they have been captured."
"You don't believe what I say, do you think my change is too sudden? That's because you have never practiced in a place of nothingness. Kun Chaos changed after leaving the Devil's Cave, let alone me? Yang Qingyin, I sacrificed everything. The world I defend is meaningless. This time, the world has nothing to do with me. I only care about one person."
Mu Xingqiu's tenth spell came to Xizhao Lake again. This time, he was not blocked and was able to enter a mirror smoothly. Qin Lingshuang was inside, sitting on the bed, holding the stove in her hand, chatting with Mu Xingqiu. Xingqiu’s impression was different.
Her voice suddenly became gentle, "Xiaoqiu, you have made your choice a long time ago, admit it."
Mu Xingqiu still didn't speak, and the tenth spell exited the room and entered another mirror.
There is also a Qin Lingshuang here, with exactly the same appearance, but holding the instant platform in her hand. Her face is pale, her eyes are tightly closed, her eyelashes are slightly twitching, and she is obviously suffering from great pain.
