Chapter 0534 The Shadow Behind

More than a dozen snow pillars in the distance rose higher and higher, and everyone raised their gazes, their hearts filled with horror and joy. If they stayed where they were, or went to join Zhou Qianhui, they would not be able to watch Dao Tong's attack here. , but directly bear the sharpness.

"Oh my god, is this... is this the Taoist Priest who takes care of the spirit himself?" Xin Youtao's face was already relatively pale because he had been hit by a sorcery, and now he was indistinguishable from the snow under his feet.

Those snow pillars were by no means ordinary spells. Their power was already astonishing from a distance. Mu Xingqiu couldn't do it, let alone the Taoist priests around him.

"Where is Zuo Liuying?" The question was raised again. This time it was not Xin Youtao but Gan Zhiwei who spoke. Holding his still unconscious brother, he turned his eyes and asked around, "He has this ability."

"Impossible." Mu Xingqiu blurted out, but could not give a special reason. Based on his understanding, he felt that taking the initiative to kill someone was not in line with Zuo Liuying's style, but for a group of people who were suspicious of Zuo Liuying and knew nothing about Zuo Liuying, For very few Taoist priests, they still need stronger evidence, which is to see the person in person.

But Zuo Liuying was nowhere to be seen, leaving no words of explanation.

Everyone's eyes quickly focused on Xiao Hao. Only she had seen Zuo Liuying in the past period and took Qilin away from him.

Little Hao didn't care. She covered her eyes with her hands and continued to stare at the snow pillar in the distance. She murmured to herself: "What kind of magic is this? I've never heard of it. It's really amazing. When can I do this?" ? Mu Xingqiu, our mental illusion..."

Xiao Hao looked at Mu Xingqiu and finally noticed the unusual gazes around her, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Didn't Zuo Liuying say anything except giving you Flea?" Xiao Qingtao asked kindly.

"Zuo Liuying put his voice into my head, but he didn't appear at all. The flea flew here on its own. He's such a big man, so we don't need to worry. It's the snow pillar over there..."

Mu Xingqiu has also been observing the situation in the distance. Those snow pillars have pierced the floating clouds in the sky and show no sign of stopping. It seems that such a powerful spell is not needed to eliminate a snow cave and a camp.

"Run, run!" Mu Xingqiu ordered loudly.

The Taoist priests were stunned for a moment, and then immediately flew to the northwest. Surrounded by the unclean air, they could only increase their speed as much as possible. Everyone felt that the spell in the distance had not yet ended, and seemed to be staring at them with malicious intent. A group of fugitives.

Xiao Qingtao and Meng Xu pulled Xiao Hao Fei, and two Taoist priests assisted Gan Zhiwei with his brother. Mu Xingqiu stopped where he was, urging the Taoist priests to leave quickly, frequently looking at the snow pillars piercing the sky.

When the last Taoist priest flew past him, Mu Xingqiu finally discovered where the danger lay.

The snow pillars rise higher and higher, casting longer and longer shadows on the ground. Those shadows are quite weird. They are similar in thickness to the snow pillars and two or three times as long. The direction can change at any time and is not affected by the sun. It seemed like more than a dozen long snakes were walking through the snow, their backs leaving light gray traces on the snow.

The shadows of the snow pillars climbed over the mountains and ridges, and were only about ten miles away from Mu Xingqiu. With their speed, they would soon catch up. If everyone ran a little longer, they would be surrounded.

Mu Xingqiu signaled the fleas to chase the Taoist priests in front, feeling a little impatient. The strength of these people varied, and even the fastest ones would have a hard time getting rid of the pursuit of the shadow of the snow pillar.

"Who can make these mountain peaks grow taller?" Mu Xingqiu came up with a way, but his mental illusions couldn't do it.

This is a strange request. The Taoist priests looked back while flying, "How can the mountain grow taller? Unless it uses magic to create illusions... What is that?"

Everyone also discovered the shadows of the snow pillars following them. It didn’t take much magic knowledge to tell that these shadows were powerful offensive spells. They all panicked. Some people sped away and some cast spells randomly, without letting the nearby people know. The mountain peak grows taller, but a section is cut away.

"Priest Qi Qi will go first, Taoist Dian Xia will stay!" Mu Xingqiu motioned for Flea to rise higher, "Those who know earth magic will cast spells first and build a wall. The higher the better."

A group of Taoist priests with lower realms left, leaving more than thirty people. Meng Xu, the Taoist priest who swallowed smoke, hesitated for a while and decided to stay.

After reaching the realm of Dinxia, ​​Taoist priests usually learn two or three types of Five Elements spells, so more than a dozen people cast the Five Elements Earth spells at the same time to build an earth wall tens of feet high on the nearest mountain peak.

The earthen wall was crumbling and would probably fall down before the spell dissipated. No one wanted to be strong. They all understood Mu Xingqiu's intention. He wanted to create an obstacle for the shadows.

Without his further orders, the Taoist priests cast wood spells, metal spells, and ice spells one after another, and soon built a dangerous wall more than a hundred feet high.

"Withdraw." Mu Xingqiu was still flying at the rear. He wanted to see if this wall worked. If the shadow of the snow pillar could directly break through the magic wall, he would have to find another way.

Where is Zuo Liuying? What are you doing? Mu Xingqiu also began to wonder.

After flying for more than ten miles, Mu Xingqiu saw the shadow of the snow pillar climbing down against the magic wall, indicating that his strategy worked well. The shadow regarded the magic wall as an ordinary obstacle, greatly extending the path and getting further away from the target. .

The height of the snow pillars in the distance will eventually reach a limit, and although the shadows are long, they will stop. Mu Xingqiu hopes to get rid of them in this way.

The second and third dangerous walls were successfully built, and the Taoist priests became more and more skilled in their cooperation. In addition to the fire spell, the other four spells were used.

An accident occurred when the fourth wall was being built. Mu Xingqiu was monitoring the situation behind him from a high altitude at the time. Suddenly, he found that the three shadows did not move along the normal path, but bypassed the narrow dangerous wall and quickly extended to the north.

Mu Xingqiu was startled and looked back in a hurry. Sure enough, the five Taoists who inhaled air in front of him had somehow left the team and flew to a nearby valley.

The shadows of the snow pillars followed the direction of the Taoists who invaded the magic and moved forward in a straight line. These five people attracted the three shadows. Without the obstruction of the magic dangerous wall, they would soon be caught up.

"Meng Xu, keep an eye on the Taoists who inhaled air in front and tell them not to run around!" Mu Xingqiu said angrily.

Meng Xu was a Taoist who swallowed smoke. Although she was a little timid, her words were still quite effective for Taoists who inhaled air.

"What about the five people?" Meng Xu also saw the people who left the team.

"Don't worry about them."

The three shadows of the snow pillars had bypassed the dangerous wall. If the five Taoists returned to the team, they would only bring danger back.

Meng Xu took the order and left. When the fourth dangerous wall was built, Mu Xingqiu immediately led the Canxia Taoist priests to chase after them, and looked back from time to time to check the shadows behind and the five Taoist priests who had left the team. He had a hunch that the dangerous wall tactic was no longer useful.

After flying ten miles, while the nine snow pillar shadows passed the fourth dangerous wall, the other three shadows caught up with the Taoist priests who had left the team.

The five Taoist priests were not completely reckless. They found a cave in the valley in the north and wanted to hide in it.

There were mountains blocking the way, and Mu Xingqiu could not see whether the five people entered the cave. He only saw three snow pillars rising from the valley. The shadows behind them disappeared, and new shadows were generated, which quickly rushed towards Mu Xingqiu and others.

Building a wall was no longer useful. Now there were two groups of shadows, coming from different directions. No matter where the dangerous wall was built, there would always be a shadow in one direction that was not affected.

"Stop!" Mu Xingqiu shouted loudly, and he and the Taoist Canxia caught up with the Taoist who was breathing in the air not far ahead. "Ascend, the higher the better, listen to my orders, and when I say 'retreat', you must fly at full speed."

Five more Taoists were killed, and everyone was already very panicked. As soon as Mu Xingqiu said "ascend", many people flew to the sky. Now they were the only one they could trust and rely on.

The shadows of the three snow pillars in the north came the fastest. As soon as everyone rose to more than a hundred feet, the shadows were already under their feet. With a bang, three snow pillars drilled out of the ground and stabbed at the people in the air like three spears. A strong wind came from a distance, blowing the Taoists unsteadily in the air.

"We can't rise as fast as them." A Taoist said in panic.

"Listen to my orders!" Mu Xingqiu's voice was extremely stern. Because of their unstable Taoist hearts, these people were no longer willing to die at the hands of the Taoist orthodoxy, but they were not as fearless and uniform as before, and they must be treated as ordinary people.

Mu Xingqiu did not give the order immediately. He was observing, not only with his eyes, but also with his intuition. The snow pillar was a powerful Taoist spell, and it certainly did not rely solely on impact to kill the target. He had to calculate the distance and move before the danger came.

"Retreat!" Mu Xingqiu gave the order when the three snow pillars were more than fifty feet away from the crowd. He could already feel the power rising from his feet getting stronger and stronger, and it was about to explode.

A total of more than sixty Taoists immediately flew northwest upon hearing the sound. Mu Xingqiu stood on the back of the flea and flew in front.

Spells are spells after all. Without the on-site control of the caster, their ability to adapt to changes is relatively poor. The target suddenly flew away, and the three snow pillars did not turn their heads in the air to pounce on it, but formed shadows on the ground to continue chasing.

The other nine shadows also chased after them. They did not have the ability to adapt to changes, but had a predetermined tactic of encirclement and interception. They moved in all directions and soon surpassed the Taoists in the air, raising snow pillars on the ground.

Everyone was surrounded.

"Ascend!" Mu Xingqiu ordered.

The Taoists stopped and ascended, but everyone had an ominous sign: it was impossible to ascend faster and higher than the snow pillar, and they had no way to escape.

Mu Xingqiu and Flea remained in the air for more than a hundred feet without moving.

"Mu Xingqiu!" Xin Youtao shouted loudly, not understanding what he was going to do.

"Ascend!" Mu Xingqiu repeated the order. He also knew that there was no way to escape. Zuo Liuying had not appeared yet, and must have been restrained by a more powerful spell or Taoist.

He had to save himself and all the Taoists.

He summoned the Frost Soul Sword, the Jade Axe containing the soul of Meng Yuanhou, and the Black Straw Hat, and then said in a deep voice: "Come on, Baldy, let's create a miracle."
