Chapter 0626: Collision Illusion

The fight had already begun, but Mu Xingqiu hadn't found the enemy yet. Suddenly, his palm seemed to be stung by a bee. He looked down and saw that the two drops of mucus that were normal just now were about to leave his palm. They had risen three or four inches and brought up a small piece of skin. The pain came from here.

Mu Xingqiu had been secretly performing the fifth level of illusion. At this time, he hurriedly rose to the seventh level. The mucus returned to its original place, but it was not very honest. It swayed from side to side, as if it wanted to escape.

The situation was a bit embarrassing for Mu Xingqiu. The powerful illusion could awaken the power of the water in the sword washing pool and transform it into the weapon he needed most, but Mu Xingqiu had to find the target first to know what he wanted and what the water in the sword washing pool should become.

Zhou Qi obviously understood this characteristic of the sword washing pool, so he simply didn't show up. He had suffered from underestimating the enemy several times in a row and would not make the same mistake again. In his heart, he still despised Mu Xingqiu, whose inner elixir was not pure, but it did not prevent him from taking this fight with the most serious attitude.

"The seventh level of Mind Illusion." Zhou Qi saw through Mu Xingqiu's true colors. "You can only drive a tiny bit of the power of the Sword Washing Pool. This is not enough, far from enough..."

Mu Xingqiu had a whip in each of his hands. This was not his lightning whip, but a magical weapon made from the water of the Sword Washing Pool. Mu Xingqiu opened his arms, and the whip instantly grew to five or six feet long. A large amount of lightning shot out from the tip of the whip, quickly occupying a large amount of space.

Since he couldn't find the target, Mu Xingqiu simply attacked the Taoist restrictions that permeated the surroundings.

There was a crackling sound, and more lightning appeared in the air. That was the reaction of Zhou Qi's restrictions, which entangled with the lightning of Mind Illusion, forming a dense net that covered the land for several miles.

The quiet forest was no longer quiet, and the birds and beasts that had been hiding somewhere before were running around in panic, chirping.

Shen Shang stood beside Mu Xingqiu. He was frightened by the lightning in the sky, but he immediately laughed out loud. "Zhou Qi, you are still so timid after you have been possessed by the devil. Why don't you come out and fight openly? Are you afraid of a young Taoist priest who is not even thirty years old? Compared to you, he is just a baby... uh, Mu Xingqiu, you are indeed less than thirty years old, right?"

Mu Xingqiu nodded and said nothing. He was using all his strength to perform the seventh-level illusion. With the sword-washing pool in hand, he could indeed greatly increase the power of the illusion, but this was not enough to defeat the Taoist priest. He had to become stronger, at least from seven functions to eight functions.

Just like in the dragon cave, he was still only a little short of the eighth-level illusion. It was a tiny little bit. Mu Xingqiu felt that he was not lacking in strength, but was bound by something, like a dog with a rope tied around its neck. No matter how hard it tried, it could not run out of the range of the rope unless it could break free of the rope.

The difference between Mu Xingqiu and the eighth-level illusion was this little bit of strength. It was not that he was lacking in strength, but that he had the strength but could not use it.

The inner elixir in Mu Xingqiu's Niwan Palace was spinning faster and faster, giving rise to more magical powers of the unity of Taoism and demons, soaking every drop of blood and every piece of flesh in his body, and then dispersing directly from his palms with illusions, turning into lightning.

Shen Shang was still laughing at Zhou Qi, but it was too difficult to anger a Taoist priest who was in charge of the spirit. Even though Zhou Qi had been possessed by the devil, he didn't care about such verbal sarcasm. He was concentrating on fighting Mu Xingqiu.

The intertwined lightning net was gradually expanding and slowly lowering. Mu Xingqiu stopped because the lightning net was about to touch the ice monster and the bald man in his hand a hundred steps away.

The surrounding restrictions were still there, not weakened at all. Zhou Qi did not pursue the victory and also retracted the lightning. "I have given you the opportunity to cast a spell, Mu Xingqiu, now it's your turn."

"Zhou Qi, you are a Taoist priest who is in charge of the spirit. Shouldn't you give in three moves in a row?" Shen Shang shouted.

Zhou Qi's answer was a gust of wind that gradually blew out of the forest. Although the wind was strong, it did not bring a single snowflake, and the ice monster standing at the edge of the forest was not affected at all.

Mu Xingqiu took a step forward and blocked Shen Shang. He wanted to continue to use the lightning of mind to fight back. When the gust of wind was about to hit him, he changed his mind, raised his fist and squatted, using the bone-forging fist. The whip transformed by the sword-washing pool disappeared and turned into two silver shields in an instant.

Bang bang... a series of loud noises, the gust of wind transformed into translucent beasts, crashed into the shields and turned into nothing, and more beasts followed one after another, launching sieges from all directions.

Mu Xingqiu waved the two shields in his hands with the bone-forging fist, tightly protecting the narrow area within a few feet around him. This time, the competition was not only about strength, but also speed. If he was a little slower, the wind beasts would squeeze in. Mu Xingqiu's resistance to spells was much stronger than that of ordinary big monsters, but even he could not resist the spells of the infusion realm purely with his flesh.

The strong wind continued, and Mu Xingqiu's arms did not stop. Although there were only two shields, they formed six uninterrupted walls from top to bottom, left to right, front to right, leaving no loopholes for the wind beast.

The place was narrow, so Shen Shang had to stay still, but his mouth refused to stop, "Hey, this is not a Taoist magic, Zhou Qi, you have forgotten your roots."

After Zhou Qi practiced the Demon Lord's righteous law, he got in touch with the demons in the void and learned more magic spells of the demon clan. Now, he can switch between Taoist magic and demon magic at will, and either one is very powerful.

Mu Xingqiu couldn't think so much. He had to concentrate all his mind on dancing with the shield, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

The strong wind from Zhou Qi lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour. When it finally stopped, Mu Xingqiu's arms and shoulders ached slightly. If it weren't for the two drops of sword washing pool water left by the bald man, he wouldn't be able to take even one move.

"Zhou Qi, among the nine sects with so many Taoist priests, you are the weakest, and you actually tied with a baby Taoist priest." Shen Shang did not miss the opportunity to laugh at him. He knew it was useless, but he still wanted to vent his anger.

"That's the tangible magic." Zhou Qi only spoke to Mu Xingqiu. "Isn't the mind illusion divided into two types, virtual and real? Let me see the virtual illusion. The mind illusion comes from the magic sect, so we can compete with each other."

Mu Xingqiu released the virtual illusion. Since he had no way to hide, he kept a part of the illusion to protect himself and separated the other part to quickly patrol the surrounding space.

Mu Xingqiu was naturally weak. He stood in the snow. Zhou Qi could see him, but he couldn't find Zhou Qi's position, not even the general direction.

Shen Shang could only vaguely feel that there were spells floating around him, and he couldn't see anything. He was afraid that it would affect Mu Xingqiu's spellcasting, so he didn't even dare to say anything. At the same time, he consciously strengthened his three-field protection power. He didn't want to become a victim of a casual attack in the battle between the two powers.

Mu Xingqiu did not find Zhou Qi's emotions, but ran into a group of power that was very similar to the mind illusion. This was the first time in history.

Except for Xiaohao, who had not yet become a weapon, Mu Xingqiu was the only disciple of the mind illusion department. The Taoist five elements of water illusion and the demon illusion had their own ways, which were completely different from the mind illusion. The two sides could only compete in the formed illusion, and the illusion itself could not directly compete.

This time was different. Mu Xingqiu's illusion did not catch any emotions, nor did he see any illusion, and he directly encountered the group of illusions.

It was called a group, because Zhou Qi's illusion covered a large range, while Mu Xingqiu's illusion was strip-shaped and thread-shaped like lightning.

Mu Xingqiu felt dizzy and found that his illusion was being swallowed by the other party. He hurriedly sent out all the illusions left for self-protection.

The two illusions fought together, and even Mu Xingqiu himself could not see the location and form of the illusion, and could only control the illusion by feeling.

Zhou Qi was obviously the same. His illusion was more powerful, and he always wanted to swallow Mu Xingqiu's illusion in one gulp.

The water in the sword-washing pool in Mu Xingqiu's palm turned into two gems. He used the seventh level of the mind illusion to the extreme. Unlike ordinary Taoist spells, to stimulate the full power of the mind illusion, the body must cooperate. To deal with less powerful targets, Mu Xingqiu can only use the mind method of leading the beast nine changes. Facing the Taoist priest, he can't be so leisurely. He has to use his hands and feet and hit the bone-forging fist at a very fast speed.

In the blink of an eye four or five times, he can complete a set of dozens of boxing moves, without omitting any moves. Although Shen Shang next to him has a heavenly eye, he is dazzled by it.

After a while of illusion fighting, Mu Xingqiu was slightly inferior, but it was enough to protect himself. At this moment, the gem in his left hand suddenly left his palm and slowly rose into the air.

Mu Xingqiu was using all his seven minds to perform illusions, and he couldn't spare any energy to keep the gem.

Zhou Qi did not keep his promise to only perform illusions, but also cast other spells. His strength was enough to split the troops into two groups, but Mu Xingqiu could not.

The orb was the water in the sword-washing pool. Although only one drop did not affect the spellcasting, once Zhou Qi also got one drop, his strength would increase greatly, far exceeding Mu Xingqiu.

"One drop is one pool." Zhou Qi's voice sounded, "Yashan was unwilling to divide the pool water, because while one prospers, all prosper, and one loses, all lose. If one drop of water is damaged, the entire sword-washing pool will become weaker. Yashan did not insist on taking back the water from the sword-washing pool, which was really a huge mistake."

"That's because Yashan is one of the nine Taoist sects after all, and the Taoists still have some face." Shen Shang answered for Mu Xingqiu. He was tired of doing nothing in this battle and wanted to pounce on it to take back the orb, but he knew that doing so was useless and would only cost his life.

Having just experienced a life-and-death battle, Shen Shang did not care about death. He only had one hope, that his death could help a little.

"It would be great if I could break the pill, although that would kill Mu Xingqiu as well." Shen Shang muttered to himself. His fearlessness of death was only a rational decision. Emotionally, he still wanted to live, so he couldn't break the pill. In fact, he had never learned the art of breaking the pill, so he could only say it casually.

But he really wanted to help.

Mu Xingqiu said to him with one heart: "Cancel your protective power, I need your inner pill."

Shen Shang was stunned, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence, but he nodded firmly immediately.

Mu Xingqiu could only use the mind illusion now. He needed the Taoist's complete meridians and three fields to perform a real Taoist magic.

To suppress one's own protective power and actively let another person control one's brain, not only strong self-control is required, but also absolute trust. Shen Shang was much worse than Yang Qingyin in these two aspects, but Mu Xingqiu still broke into his brain and successfully cast a general spell.

The jade axe containing Meng Yuanhou's soul appeared in the air.

Zhou Qi recognized all the instruments and spells of the Lantern and Candle Department, and even recognized that the soul in the jade axe was extremely unique. He sneered, despising the other party's presumption. Didn't Mu Xingqiu understand that a Taoist priest of the Forbidden Secret Department who was obsessed with the art of soul-binding and soul-researching understood souls better than a real Taoist priest of the Lantern and Candle Department?

Mu Xingqiu understood.
