Mushroom Man

"Spatial Slash—"

Wu Liang stood proudly in the mirror maze, casually waving his hand.

In an instant, an invisible and intangible slash pierced through the air.

Then they saw 'Bone Immortal' standing in front of them, expressionless, slamming his palm against the ground.

One by one, white bones shot into the sky, transforming into a forest of bones, attempting to withstand this slash.

However, nothing could stop the slash; even space itself was torn apart by it.

The skeleton was powerless to resist the spatial slash and was split in two on the spatial level.

The spatial slash, still powerful, passed right through 'Bone Immortal' in the blink of an eye.

'Bone Immortal' swayed, and was instantly cut in half at the waist...

However, 'Bone Master' was once a fifth-level mushroom master, and although he has now turned into a zombie and fallen from grace, he is still no ordinary mushroom master.

Moreover, Wu Liang is currently fighting a genuine fourth-tier jumping zombie with his peak third-tier physique.

Surprisingly, the 'Bone Immortal' who was forced to split in two did not die on the spot, but instead acted as if nothing had happened.

A large amount of milky white bone marrow spread out and enveloped his body.

In just a few breaths, 'Bone Master' was restored to normal.

"interesting……"

Wu Liang raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected that the seemingly timid Bone Immortal would be so powerful after transforming into his mirror image.

It seems this guy deliberately concealed many of his tricks and feigned weakness in front of him.

At this moment, he had already been interacting with this mirror image for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Overall, 'Bone Master's' raw strength is clearly superior to his.

No matter how skilled Wu Liang is or how complete his killing moves are, his lack of true qi remains a major weakness.

In terms of constructing mushrooms and killing moves, Wu Liang is undoubtedly far superior to Gu Zhenren.

However, when it comes to true qi, Wu Liang is only a third-level mushroom master and cannot compare to Bone Master.

Moreover, Wu Liang had previously bestowed the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom upon Bone True Man.

In this situation, Bone Master lost his weakness in true qi, so he was naturally superior to Wu Liang.

Wu Liang's only advantage over Bone Master was his ability to contend with him using the power of his killing moves.

That's why the two were locked in a stalemate for a short period of time.

However, this stalemate cannot last long. Once Wu Liang cannot come up with a winning strategy, he will definitely lose to Bone Master after his true energy is exhausted.

"It seems that breaking through to the fourth rank is now imminent..."

"If I can become a fourth-level mushroom master, I won't need to worry about insufficient true energy."

"At that time, I will be able to unleash my full power and freely unleash all kinds of killing moves in my hands."

"Bloody Hand Asura Seal, blood and gore, spatial slash, stabilizing the universe, the human heart is ever-changing..."

"If I can unleash this combo in one go, who below the level of an immortal can stop me?"

Wu Liang's mind raced, and with a flash, he dodged the bone spear thrown by 'Bone Master' using the Void-Breaking Mushroom.

He collected his thoughts and turned his gaze back to 'Bone Immortal'.

In fact, he already had a plan to defeat 'Bone Master', and was not helpless.

'Bone Man' rose to power because of zombies, and he also fell because of zombies.

As zombies, although they can survive in the world, they have many flaws.

For example, the dantian becomes withered and unable to produce true qi...

This point has been temporarily overcome by 'Bone Master' through the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom he gave him.

There is only one fatal flaw, which 'Bone Immortal' has yet to find a way to remedy. And that flaw is... thought!
Once a person becomes rigid, their thoughts will gradually stagnate until they no longer generate any new ideas and become a true dead person.

Normally, Master Gu can also alleviate this deficiency by using the various mental techniques and spiritual methods of the Zhidao School, which he has left behind.

But what Wu Liang is facing now is the mirror image formed by the Mirror Maze.

The mirror image does not possess the ability to use consumable mushrooms or even replenish its own thoughts.

However, even if he had this ability, he couldn't use it in battle.

Wu Liang wasn't stupid; how could he just sit idly by and watch 'Bone Immortal' regain his senses?

Therefore, at this moment, there were very few thoughts left in the mind of 'Bone Immortal'.

Wu Liang could clearly sense that 'Bone True Man's' reaction speed was rapidly decreasing.

Even now, it takes at least a breath or two for 'Bone Immortal' to make his next move.

What does "one breath" or "two breaths" mean?
You must understand that in a real life-or-death battle, the outcome can be decided in the blink of an eye.

If Wu Liang hadn't wanted to end the battle so quickly, 'Bone Master' would have been killed by him long ago.

"It's time to end this..."

Having assessed his own strength, Wu Liang was ready to end the fight.

Just then, 'Bone Master' roared, as if about to unleash some kind of bone-based killing move.

However, Wu Liang gave him no further chances...

Wu Liang's mind stirred, and he formed a hand seal with one hand, coldly declaring, "The universe is settled!"

Upon hearing this, the space within a radius of several feet instantly froze.

As long as you are here, everything seems to freeze in place, as if time has stopped.

Two seconds!

This is the maximum time that Wu Liang, with his third-stage cultivation, can maintain the Qiankun Stability.

Unless he can advance to the fourth level, he will not be able to perfectly unleash the Qiankun Ding killing move and extend its duration.

Two seconds is neither a long nor a short time.

At least for now, it's more than enough.

Wu Liang strolled leisurely, took a step, and appeared in front of 'Bone Immortal'.

He could clearly see the 'Bone Man's' hideous and terrifying appearance, as well as the bone spurs poised to strike.

A second passed...

Wu Liang, with a cold and indifferent expression, raised his hand and placed it on the top of 'Bone Immortal's' head.

A nauseating smell of blood instantly spread.

Two seconds passed...

"Roar!"

'Bone Immortal' instantly recovered, let out a roar, and was about to do something.

However, there was a loud 'bang'!
'Bone Master's' head exploded violently, and his entire body turned into a cloud of blood mist, dead beyond any doubt.

It turns out that Wu Liang had just used up his last bit of true energy while maintaining the balance of heaven and earth to activate the Blood Hand Asura Seal.

At such close range, let alone 'Bone True Man' being just a mirror image, even fifth-level mushroom masters like the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King wouldn't dare to take the Blood Hand Asura Seal head-on.

This is only because 'Bone Immortal' is just a skeleton. If he were a living being with flesh and blood, he would probably die even faster if he came into contact with the Blood Hand Asura Seal.

"Crack, click, click..."

The sound of the mirror shattering echoed precisely as 'Bone Master' was defeated.

Wu Liang escaped the mirror maze and successfully ended the battle.

A fragment of memory, formed from the mirrored maze, then flooded into his mind… (End of Chapter)
