“A sneak attack from behind?” Li Muyang, forced to exit the game after failing, opened his eyes, surprised by the manner of his death.
He had thought it was a battle of illusions, but who would have thought that thing could actually physically attack him?
Without any hesitation, Li Muyang immediately loaded his saved game and returned to the game world.
The familiar tea stall, the familiar Five Streams Barbarian, followed by the appearance of Fairy Liuli blocking the way.
But this time, Li Muyang, knowing the ropes, quickly dispelled Fairy Liuli’s hostility with a few simple words.
Maintaining their distance, they followed the young Five Streams Barbarian through the mountains and forests.
Then, before the nightfall appeared, Li Muyang saved the game.
As the familiar night engulfed everything, Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli were shrouded in darkness.
“A mag…” Fairy Liuli had just begun to speak when Li Muyang interrupted her.
“It’s not a magical formation or barrier. It’s an illusion.”Saying this, Li Muyang quickly moved forward, starting to run through the mountain forest.
However, the situation was exactly as he had anticipated.
No matter how fast or slow he ran, the distance between him and the young Five Streams Barbarian ahead remained constant.
Combining this with the system’s escort mission, Li Muyang immediately guessed what was happening.
“Something wants to harm Aguye, but it fears us, so it’s targeting you and me first.”
Li Muyang looked around and continued to activate Spirit Vision Eye to break the illusion.
“Fairy, please protect me. There may be assailants lurking in the shadows.”
Fairy Liuli drew her immortal sword with a clang, standing guard beside Li Muyang.
This time, that thing did not attack Li Muyang again.
A cold chill spread through the air, and Li Muyang faintly felt that thing seemed to be roaming nearby.
Two minutes later, the night faded, and the warm sunlight once again fell upon them.
Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli continued to walk through the mountains and forests, following the barbarian youth Aguye.
But as Aguye entered a forest, the illusions before Li Muyang’s eyes suddenly changed dramatically.
A blanket of wind and snow rushed towards them, and the piercing cold wind howled like ghosts and wolves.
Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli seemed to have stepped into a deep valley in a snowstorm.
The violent wind and snow pelted their faces and bodies.
Fairy Liuli was greatly surprised: “Such a realistic illusion.”
Li Muyang rubbed his arms, also feeling the chill, and was about to speak when, in the next second, a pale woman’s arm burst out from his chest.
【You died. Game Over】
“…You’ve got to be kidding me!”
Li Muyang, forced out of the game, was somewhat annoyed.
An ambush as soon as he entered the illusion? Without any preparation?
Alright, alright! so this is how we’re playing?
Li Muyang loaded his game again and entered the game world.
The previous process was the same, but as he saw the barbarian youth about to step into the forest, Li Muyang immediately activated time stop.
“Za Warudo!”
In the moment when time stood still, everything froze.
Li Muyang took a step and leaped several zhang away.
He summoned the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel in his hand, eyes fixed on the spot where he had just been standing.
Time resumed, and the blizzard arrived as expected.
Fairy Liuli was about to express her amazement when a pale woman’s arm emerged from thin air at Li Muyang’s previous location.
The arm was ghastly white as if it had materialized from the air itself, with no body attached.
But Li Muyang was prepared.
Under the drive of the Startling Swan Sword Mantra, he released the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel.
“Take this!”
The Dharma-Annihilation Wheel tore through the blizzard, turning into a brilliant blue light.
The moment the pale woman’s arm appeared, it was torn apart by the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel.
Dark purple blood and pale flesh splattered, and a pained howl faintly echoed through the air.
The arm was severed by Li Muyang.
Fairy Liuli was shocked: “Lord Wuming?!”
The next second, the blizzard around them dissipated, leaving only the severed woman’s arm falling to the ground.
The ghastly white arm twitched painfully a few times as if it had life, but Li Muyang stomped on it.
The arm immediately stopped moving and went rigid.
Everything happened in an instant, and before Fairy Liuli could even react, the illusion was over.
“I know what’s hiding in the shadows now.”
Li Muyang stepped on the severed arm beneath his foot and crushed it completely.
【Arm of the Nine-Armed Bodhisattva -1】
The information that popped up from the system revealed the identity of the creature lurking in the dark.
“Nine-Armed Bodhisattva… fairy, have you ever heard of this thing?”
Li Muyang had never heard of it and could only ask a local.
Fairy Liuli’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Nine-Armed Bodhisattva? I’ve heard of it. It seems to be a kind of folk wild worship around the Lijiang area…”
“Got it, a rural wild god?”
Li Muyang looked towards the mountains ahead and said, “One arm down, eight to go. We can take our time chopping them off.”
After Li Muyang’s provocative remark, a resentful and hateful roar seemed to emanate from the surrounding woods.
Soon, the illusion attacked again.
Under the brilliant fireworks, Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli stood in a bustling city, surrounded by passersby.
The streets were festooned with lights and decorations, full of festivity, and everyone was dressed in new clothes, exchanging blessings.
“New Year’s?”
Li Muyang looked at the crowd beside him and said, “This thing’s illusions are quite fancy.”
In terms of proficiency with illusions, this Nine-Armed Bodhisattva was definitely formidable.
The city illusion was exquisitely lifelike.
Too bad it was countered by Li Muyang’s Spiritual Vision Eye.
Even without the Spiritual Vision Eye, with the combination of time stop and save points, it would only be a matter of time before this creature would be killed.
Li Muyang activated his Spiritual Vision Eye and began to dismantle the illusion before him.
The cityscape shattered and reformed.
But in the view of Li Muyang’s Spiritual Vision Eye, the real mountain forest and the city almost overlapped.
Although the illusion was blurring the truth with falsehood, it couldn’t deceive Li Muyang’s eyes.
Just as he was waiting for the hidden evil creature to strike, Li Muyang suddenly saw a huge transparent shadow drifting through the real-world forest.
The figure was at least ten thousand zhang tall, unimaginably massive.
A sharp candlestick was fiercely stabbed into its chest.
Pale shrouds fluttered between heaven and earth like a canopy.
“What the hell…”
The moment Li Muyang saw this evil shadow, his eyes nearly popped out.
On the head of the evil shadow, dense black bloodlines grew in a manner that made one’s scalp tingle.
【Candle Bone God】
This… wasn’t this the evil god from the Black Cloud Village underground from thousands of years ago?
Why would it appear in the Heavenly Origin Dynasty?
Li Muyang was shocked.
In the moment of his astonishment, a pale woman’s arm burst out from his chest.
【You died. Game Over】
Li Muyang’s momentary lapse allowed the Nine-Armed Bodhisattva to successfully ambush him.
But this time, Li Muyang was no longer concerned about the attack from this rural wild god.
The scene he had witnessed with his Spiritual Vision Eye had completely shocked him.
A terrifying evil god from before the mythical era is wandering in the real world in the southwestern mountains of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty?
F*ck?
Those evil gods haven’t been completely wiped out?
