Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 88 Something unexpected happened
Thoughts flashed through Chen Mu's mind, but he didn't have time to think about it, and he hurriedly met the huge scorpion beast running towards him.

He suppressed the thought for the moment, put two fingers of his right hand together and waved it forward. The Zhaokong Sword that was originally slowly circling around him suddenly stabbed at the whip-tail scorpion in front of him.

"puff!"

A small hole was pierced in the scorpion beast's armor.

The scorpion beast's shell, which seemed extremely solid, was not that hard in front of the top-grade magic weapon Zhaokong Sword and the Changhong Sword Controlling Technique.

Chen Mu looked at the situation in front of him and felt no surprise or surprise.

The scorpion beast seemed to feel nothing despite the injury and continued to fight with Zhaokong Sword without dodging or evading.

Judging from the level of demonic energy on this scorpion beast, it should be of a high level.

But perhaps because it was formed by an illusion array, it has no intelligence and cannot feel pain, so it is much easier to deal with than ordinary high-level monsters.

Li Hu, who was at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, did not feel much pressure facing such an illusory monster, not to mention Chen Mu, who was at the ninth level of Qi Condensation and had a top-grade magic weapon.

Chen Mu raised his two fingers and kept waving them, and the Zhaokong Sword also flew and spun with the movements. It was extremely flexible, and a series of long rainbow afterimages were faintly seen in the air.

The Zhaokong Sword would pierce through the scorpion beast's body from time to time. There was no blood, only streaks of yellow sand.

Not long after, as more and more holes appeared on the scorpion beast's body, its body finally broke apart and turned into gravel, falling onto the sand sea.

Chen Mu waved his hand to call back the Zhaokong Sword. Instead of helping Li Hu and others, he looked at the illusion array and fell into deep thought.

Another half hour passed, and Li Hu, holding a golden machete in both hands, cut off the scorpion beast's head in one stroke, and the original five whip-tail scorpions disappeared.

Wu Xuanyang felt relieved upon seeing this, and he praised Li Hu, a rare act of kindness: "Brother Li's broadsword is truly powerful."

Upon hearing this, Li Hu put away his broadsword, bowed and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Wu, you are too kind. This is in no way comparable to your Dividing Flame Ruler."

Wu Xuanyang was not modest when he heard this, and immediately laughed out loud.

Manager Hu, standing nearby, was about to laugh and agree, but his expression suddenly changed. He turned to look at the surrounding yellow sand and shouted in surprise, "Why hasn't this illusion array dissipated yet?"

Wu Xuanyang and the other two also reacted and quickly used their spiritual sense to investigate.

Chen Mu was also interrupted by the startled shout and asked, "Is there any difference?"

Before Manager Hu could reply, Fang Xiaopan spoke up first, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you don't know. Usually, after we passed the test, the illusion array would disintegrate within three breaths. But now..."

Chen Mu nodded slightly, looked up at the blurry scorching sun in the sky, and murmured.

"That means it hasn't passed yet..."

He turned his head suddenly and stared at the sea of ​​sand.

As a shrill roar resounded throughout the area, the sand sea in the distance suddenly shook, and a large bulge gradually rose up, and countless gravels slid down the sand slope rapidly.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, a ball of yellow sand exploded, and a huge black shadow jumped out and leaped into the air.

Chen Mu and others suddenly felt that the surroundings were dark, it turned out that the black shadow blocked the scorching sun.

"spread!"

Chen Mu shouted loudly and quickly used the Wind Walking Technique to retreat to the side.

Although Manager Hu and others were shocked and extremely surprised, they did not stand there in a daze at the critical moment, and they all fled out of the area covered by the shadow.

"boom!"

A black shadow fell heavily on the place where Chen Mu and others were originally, stirring up countless yellow sand.

Chen Mu looked intently and saw that the black shadow was actually a pitch-black scorpion beast the size of a house. Although it was of the same species as the yellow whip-tail scorpion, it gave people a completely different feeling.

Bloodthirsty, evil... He silently sensed the demonic fluctuations from the scorpion beast.

"Compared to cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Condensation and above... fortunately it's just an illusion."

If it is a true demon beast at the tenth level of Qi Condensation or above, it can already try to reshape its demon core. Once it succeeds, it can leap into a great demon at the foundation-building stage...

Chen Mu suppressed the mixed thoughts in his mind and turned to look at Manager Hu and others, but saw that they also had ugly expressions and looked surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, what's going on?! In all the previous encounters, no matter how challenging it was, we've never seen anyone with this level of combat prowess!"

Fang Xiaopan could no longer maintain his scholarly demeanor and burst into questions.

Manager Hu was also annoyed and shouted, "How should I know? I just happened to find this place. We came here together. Now you ask me, who should I ask?"

Chen Mu's heart moved when he heard this, and he had some guesses in his mind.

Wu Xuanyang shouted, "Who cares where it came from? Why should we be afraid of it? It's just an illusionary monster... Let's kill it together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xuanyang controlled the fiery red short ruler beside him and suddenly flew towards the black scorpion beast.

Before they made contact, the short ruler spewed out a lot of flames, condensing into many short ruler phantoms, which, along with the main body, slapped towards the scorpion beast below one after another.

"Clap clap clap..."

One after another, the short shadows disappeared, and the black air wrapped around the black scorpion beast also decreased a lot.

"hiss!"

The scorpion beast seemed to have intelligence and stopped fighting with the short ruler, allowing it to continue hitting it.

It roared, and suddenly leaned forward. The tail sting behind it suddenly stretched out like lightning, and in the blink of an eye it was about to pierce Wu Xuanyang.

Wu Xuanyang's face changed drastically. He had made the same mistake as the two Taoist friends Zhou Wang in being careless. He really didn't expect that this scorpion beast was different from the previous ones.

But it was too late to recall the short ruler, so he could only use a wooden shield to block in front of him, praying that it could block the tail spike.

This is just a low-level magical weapon, something he saved up through his frugal living...

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have spent all my wealth to buy that Flame Ruler..."

"Crack!"

What he wished for did not happen. The wooden shield was easily pierced by the scorpion beast's tail, which only slightly slowed down its speed.

Wu Xuanyang's eyes were bloodshot, and the slender black tail spike occupied his entire field of vision.

"Crash..."

A waterfall unfolded like a scroll, and this water curtain, which looked like fragile paper, easily blocked the scorpion beast's tail stinger, preventing it from getting any closer.

Wu Xuanyang's entire body relaxed instantly, and he couldn't help but gasp for breath. He turned his head to look at Chen Mu, who was pinching his fingers together, and thanked him weakly, "Thank you, Daoist Chen, for saving me. I will never forget your kindness."

Chen Mu nodded slightly and ignored it.

He stared at the pitch-black scorpion beast not far away, raised his two fingers and waved them, and the sword in the air circled around and then whizzed away.

"Take action, and kill it together!"

At this time, Manager Hu also reacted, shouted loudly, and immediately threw out the copper coin and small sword and followed closely.

Fang Xiaopan cursed inwardly, picked up the golden judge's pen, used the sky as a backdrop, and wrote characters one by one that flew towards the scorpion beast.

Li Hu didn't dare to rush forward and chop with his broadsword like he did just now. He could only summon a few golden needles, which was better than nothing...

The golden and white colors spun in turns, and for a moment, they actually suppressed the pitch-black scorpion beast...
