Chapter 0992 The Way of Magic
The moths released by Mu Xingqiu could evade the many restrictions set by the talisman masters, but they could not avoid the detection of the Grandmaster of Xingshan. In fact, even he himself was already under the surveillance of Zhao Chuye. When the three free ropes suddenly jumped out from his feet and trees, he had no time to react.
Mu Xingqiu had a lot of magic power, but the faster he operated, the tighter the free ropes tightened. In the end, he had to give up resistance and was dragged from the mountain seven or eight miles away to the city of Zhuozhou.
He was not idle along the way. He carefully observed the magic in the rope and always felt that it also wasted some magic power. It was more efficient than the talisman, but there was still room for improvement. He also tried to absorb the magic in the rope, but failed. The Taoist who made the rope seemed to have anticipated such a danger, so he used clever means to seal the magic in the rope.
Until he landed on the ground, Mu Xingqiu was thinking about how to improve the talisman and the rope on his body. The two had a lot in common. He vaguely saw a little hope, but his memory was not enough, so he had no idea where to start. It was like knowing that such a word existed, but he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried. The dictionary was not at hand, so he couldn't find it.
The confusion on Mu Xingqiu's face seemed to others like he was ashamed of being captured. Shouque comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm here. My duty is to protect you. Don't run away secretly again. It's very troublesome to find someone."
"Yeah." Mu Xingqiu didn't pay attention to what Shouque was saying. He was pulled by the magic, and his feet moved involuntarily, walking towards Zhao Chuye opposite, "Is this your rope?"
The first magic Zhao Chuye cast was to break into Mu Xingqiu's Niwan Palace, preparing to seize his memory. He used the Five Elements Water Illusion, which was not as sophisticated and complex as the Mind Illusion, but it was more than enough to defeat a low-level practitioner.
Mu Xingqiu was easily tied up by three free ropes, and had to "rely" on Shouque's protection, which made Zhao Chuye believe that this person's strength would not be very strong. As a result, he was shocked when the spell entered the Niwan Palace. The opponent's Niwan Palace actually produced a strong resistance, surging, and the mana contained seemed to be not much worse than that of him, a Taoist priest who served Yuemang.
Compared with the mind illusion, the Five Elements Water Illusion has a biggest disadvantage, that is, it is very easy to be backfired when casting spells on strong people. Zuo Liuying, who was in the state of infusion, did not dare to cast spells on Xingluo Taoist priest easily. Zhao Chuye made a mistake, but he reacted very quickly and stopped the attack immediately, but did not dare to stop casting spells, fearing that the opponent would take advantage of the opportunity to backfire on his Niwan Palace.
Mu Xingqiu stopped and realized that there was a spell in his mind. He thought it was the spell attached to the three ropes. He nodded and expressed his admiration, "What kind of rope is this? It's amazing."
Zhao Chuye was like walking on a tightrope at this time. He couldn't move forward or backward. He had to maintain his thin magic. He didn't dare to move his breath. He thought the other party was mocking him and didn't answer.
Shouque walked to Mu Xingqiu, "This rope is very ordinary. It seems to be called Xiaoyao Rope. It is made of horse tail hair." Shouque stretched out his hand and pulled it twice. The rope was tightened an inch at once. "It's a bit different. It's a little more complicated than the Xiaoyao Rope I remember."
Zhao Chuye still didn't speak, standing there without moving, as if his soul had wandered out of his body.
Fu Lin and others didn't understand what was going on, but their plan to hug the thigh did not change. Seeing that Mu Xingqiu seemed to be fine, they had a force in their bodies. Led by Fu Lin, ten people stood up one after another and stumbled to Mu Xingqiu.
"Benefactor, we are here to help you. Please give us your orders. What do you need us to do? " Fu Lin was not a flatterer. He really wanted to serve his benefactor. But in the eyes of the nine soldiers, they all felt that they had followed the right person. The general was very good at talking. If they wanted to curry favor with him, they really needed such a leader.
"Yes, please give the order." A group of soldiers who had thrown away their armor, staggered, and could not even stand steadily said in unison. They were not cowards. If Mu Xingqiu gave an order, they would really do it.
But Mu Xingqiu did not give any orders. He no longer recognized Zhao Chuye, nor did he remember how high the status of the Taoist master was. He just felt that this person's magic was very strong and difficult to deal with.
"With your ability, it is easy to avoid the next gold attack, water attack and wood attack. Why bother writing the Dingtian Litian Talisman? Let me take the people in the city away." Mu Xingqiu said.
Zhao Chuye still didn't speak, Fu Lin and others stood behind the benefactor, Shouque wanted to take off the free rope, but Mu Xingqiu didn't cooperate, so she could only stretch out her hand and try.
The city fell into a strange silence, Zhao Chuye couldn't guess what tricks the other party was playing, obviously with great magic power but pretending that he couldn't get rid of the ordinary free rope, Mu Xingqiu's side didn't understand why Grandmaster Xingshan suddenly refused to speak.
Huangfu Yanghao poked his head out of the tower again, not noticing anything unusual outside, and shouted excitedly: "This batch of blood ink is very good. There is nothing special about the royal blood, just like ordinary soldiers, but fighting spirit can really improve the quality of blood ink! I said it long ago, more."
He saw that Master Xingshan was personally on the scene, and he had no doubts in his heart. He used the talisman to summon the third ink plate, and found that there was only a little blood in it. He was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to attack Zhao Chuye. He lowered his head and sniffed it. His expression changed immediately. He no longer felt that there was not enough blood. He immediately started to prepare blood ink. Because there was too little blood, the various powders added had to be more carefully controlled. He turned a deaf ear to it again.
Zhao Chuye's blood was used to prepare ink, but he didn't care much. All his energy was used to analyze the current situation.
He took back the spell.
Zhao Chuye's whole body emitted a layer of faint light, and the broken wood and rocks around him retreated at the same time with a bang, and the area within thirty steps was completely clear.
Fu Lin and others were amazed, but they didn't know that this was a bluff. At that moment, Zhao Chuye was at his weakest. For ordinary opponents, this was not a loophole, but he was afraid of Mu Xingqiu's deep magic power. While retracting the spell, he immediately set up a ban around him.
Mu Xingqiu noticed the opponent's weakness at that moment, but he had no time to launch an attack. He could only watch the loophole disappear in a flash. He felt that Zhao Chuye's vigilance was too exaggerated.
The only one who reacted was Shouque. She had magic power and spells. Taking advantage of the opportunity was her instinct when fighting, but it was a pity that her strength was slightly weaker.
Her Dharma body was created by the Zhenqi Building in the Demon Cave. It was very short and had not been tempered enough. Her inner elixir had just reached the seventh level of the Infusion God. When used to perform the ninth level of illusion, it could barely be compared with the Taoist priests of the fifth or sixth level of the Fu Yue Mang. This was already a huge leap, but it was a little worse than Zhao Chuye.
After practicing in the Taoist Tower, Zhao Chuye's realm was improved very quickly. He always thought that he could enter the Fu Ri Mang realm, but in the final stage, the ancestor Kun Dun stopped the spell, and his practice took a sharp turn for the worse, stopping at the seventh level of Fu Yue Mang.
This is a pure illusion, but there are many changes in it. One move contains the main attack, side attack, luring the enemy, defense, backhand and other skills. Mu Xingqiu has not been able to fully exert the full power of the mind illusion because of the lack of these means.
"Good!" Mu Xingqiu praised sincerely. He now looked at all spells with an attitude of learning and research. So far, among all the spells he had seen, Shouque's illusion made the most effective use of mana, with almost no waste.
Mu Xingqiu had too little memory, and he didn't know that he had discovered a very important secret: the reason why the mind illusion could surpass the limitations of the inner alchemy realm and achieve a higher level of strength was because it greatly improved the efficiency of using mana.
Shouque turned his head and smiled, "This move is actually very ordinary. I want to learn... Oh!"
Shouque was too careless. Her strength was originally inferior to Zhao Chuye. She dared to talk distractedly during the fight. The illusion was immediately expelled, and the opponent's real five-element spell took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
Fu Lin and others still couldn't see anything. They all stood there in a daze, listening to Mu Feidian cheering and watching Shouque soar into the sky inexplicably.
Zhao Chuye emitted a little light, which was smaller than the moth that Mu Xingqiu had released before. Under the sunlight, it completely escaped the naked eye.
Shouque leaped just in time. If she had been a little later, she would have been hit by the light.
The light missed the target, but it did not let go of the target. It jumped up and continued to hit Shouque, who was dozens of feet high.
Mu Xingqiu saw the difference. Zhao Chuye's spells were more complicated. In a small light spot, there were at least thirty different spells. These spells had their own uses, but not every one of them was useful in this attack.
Mu Xingqiu felt a bang in his head, and he suddenly understood a truth: spells were invented by practitioners. To deal with all kinds of changes with the same and less changes is the pursuit of most people. Every spell, from the moment it was born, must be prepared to fight against different targets, different environments, and different defenses. Therefore, the more advanced the spell, the more small spells it contains, and the more it requires the caster's mana and state of mind to meet certain requirements.
From then on, these small spells became fixed. Even if the battle was very simple, the small spells could not be removed. For high-level Taoist priests, it was more cost-effective to concentrate on improving the inner alchemy realm and casting spells than to spend a little time analyzing the battle situation in every battle.
Mind illusion is actually a bit opportunistic. It directly removes a large number of auxiliary small spells, so the power is more concentrated, but there are more loopholes than the five elements spells.
Mind illusion claims that illusion can defeat Taoist priests with higher inner alchemy realm, but deliberately avoids the problems in its own system.
Mu Xingqiu has not figured out how to break through these loopholes of mind illusion, but he knows that the light spot will hit the defect soon, and she will definitely not be able to stop it this time.
Mu Xingqiu stretched out his hand, and the free rope on his body untied for no reason.
He grabbed the small light spot.
