After being exposed by Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon, although Li Mu was already a little flustered in his heart, he still had to maintain his calm on the surface.
His face darkened as he asked, "You dare to doubt this King?"
"Of course this King does not dare to doubt Lord Qian Huan …" Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon took a few steps back, keeping a distance from Li Mu, and said, "But Lord Qian Huan's actions, this King cannot help but doubt. For this opportunity, I have been planning for five years. Five years ah, five years ah, does Lord Qian Huan know how I have spent these five years?"
Li Mu said coldly, "Impudent!"
A touch of madness appeared on Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's face as he gritted his teeth and said, "This King's plan, no one is allowed to destroy it, not even Lord Qian Huan!"
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon did not doubt his identity as Lord Qian Huan, but he doubted his motives.
He racked his brains and delayed Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon for an hour, which was already the limit. The obstruction just now had caused Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon to become suspicious.
This was also something that could not be helped. After all, Li Mu could not watch Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon sacrifice the people of the county city.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon had spent a lot of time and effort for today. Not to mention Lord Qian Huan, even if his own father tried to stop him, he would still fight with his life.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon looked at Li Mu and suddenly grinned, asking, "Lord Qian Huan's new body should still be in the Lower Realm, right?"
Li Mu said expressionlessly, "You will know if you try …"
"Lord Qian Huan, you don't have to pretend in front of this King anymore." Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon laughed mockingly and said, "I can already see that you are only strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Who would have thought that the once high and mighty Lord Qian Huan would end up like this …"
Li Mu could tell that Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon no longer cared whether he was Venerable Master Thousand Illusions or not after he figured out his background. A mere Third Realm Demon Sect elder was no threat to him.
The desire to ascend to the next level overcame his fear of Venerable Master Thousand Illusions.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon looked at him and said, "Since you want this King to try, then this King will try …"
Above his head, the black mist suddenly condensed into two spears and shot towards Li Mu.
Boom!
Boom!
Li Mu stood in place as two bolts of lightning descended from the sky and landed on the spear. The spear collapsed and turned back into black gas.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon said calmly, "This King would like to see what else you can do!"
He did not get close to Li Mu and only controlled his ghostly aura to attack from a distance. In the sky before Li Mu, lightning snakes danced wildly and neutralized all of Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's attacks.
He knew very well that Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon was still testing him due to his fear of Venerable Master Thousand Illusions.
The Dharmic powers expended by these attacks were negligible to Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. However, the frequent use of Dharmic powers caused Li Mu's Dharmic powers to be on the verge of being overdrawn.
Not only that, but Li Mu also realized that the power of these lightning bolts was at least 30% weaker than usual in this Eighteen Hellish Hell Formation. This was because a large portion of the power of heaven and earth was blocked by the blood-red formation above his head when he used his Dharmic powers.
"Heaven and earth are limitless, the universe borrows Dharmic powers; Dharmic powers are born from the heart, and they multiply endlessly. Heavenly Lord Taiyi, as the law commands! "
He borrowed Madam Chu's Dharmic powers and used the Demon Slaying Protection Spell again. The Baiyi Sword turned into thousands of sword shadows and slashed towards Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon opened his arms and countless black mist burst out from his body. These sword shadows entered the black mist and disappeared without a trace.
His figure walked out from the black fog, and he praised, "As expected of Lord Thousand Illusions. Ordinary Fourth Level bestial souls would have long been reduced to ashes under this ability. However, are you looking down on me, Lord?"
Li Mu was also helpless. His true cultivation was only at the beginning of the Third Level. Even if he gave it his all, he was no match for Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon, who was already at the Sixth Level.
Moreover, the Dharmic powers that he had high hopes for were weakened by the Eighteen Hellish Hell Formation and could not be used to their full potential.
Li Mu was just intending to withdraw the high-grade Strider Talisman to deal with King Chu Jiang when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and a thought gushed out into appearance.
The reason why he could not use part of his Dharmic powers was not because he did not have enough Dharmic powers. It was because his body could not withstand the power of heaven and earth that those Dharmic powers summoned.
With his current Dharmic powers, he could forcefully use the last few words of the Nine Syllables Mantra and the Book of Daoism. However, he would die from the backlash of the immense power of heaven and earth.
However, in this Eighteen Hellish Hell Formation, the power of heaven and earth that he summoned from his Dharmic powers would be weakened by this formation. When it landed on his body, it would not be so unbearable.
Li Mu immediately made a hand seal and silently activated the "Swordsman" word.
The further back the Nine Syllables Mantra was, the greater the power of heaven and earth that it summoned. Li Mu originally still needed to cultivate for a few more months before he could withstand the power of heaven and earth. Now that he had recited it, he felt a wave of power of heaven and earth surge into his body, replenishing his almost depleted Dharmic powers.
In the Nine Syllables Mantra, "Lin" referred to lightning, "Bing" referred to weapons, "Dou" referred to battle, and "Swordsman" referred to using the power of heaven and earth to recover Dharmic powers.
When cultivators fought with others, they would expend their Dharmic powers. Whoever exhausted their Dharmic powers first would be the first to lose.
To be able to fully recover one's Dharmic powers at any time was equivalent to having the ability to go on indefinitely.
However, this technique was useless against Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon.
No matter how fast his Dharmic powers recovered, it would not exceed the Third Level.
However, this Great Formation of the Eighteen Hells was a rare opportunity for Li Mu to comprehend Dao techniques. He quickly changed his hand seals and tried to comprehend the mantras that he had yet to learn.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon saw that Li Mu did not move from his original spot and became even more cautious. He thought of the terror of the Thousand Illusions Venerable Master and took a few steps back. Two Soul Shadows walked out of his body and pounced towards Li Mu.
The two Soul Shadows both had the aura of the peak of the Fourth Level. They each held two Soul Swords in their hands and slashed towards Li Mu's head.
Li Mu's body was like a fish in water. He swam between the two Soul Shadows agilely. The four Soul Swords were swung in an airtight manner. However, they could not even touch the corner of Li Mu's clothes.
The "Fighting" Mantra allowed Li Mu to predict the enemy's movements and react without thinking. He could only rely on his battle instincts.
In the next moment, his body suddenly stopped. He allowed one of the Soul Swords to slash at his chest.
That Soul Sword passed through Li Mu's body. Nothing happened to Li Mu's body. However, the green brick under his feet shattered.
The "Wholeness" Mantra was a substitution technique. I am all things, and all things are me. It could divert a certain degree of damage.
Li Mu retreated. His hand seals changed again. The two Soul Shadows that were charging towards him stopped strangely in mid-air. Then, they immediately collapsed. They were killed by a powerful force of the Heaven and Earth.
The "Formation" Mantra was a trapping technique. It could trap the enemy and kill them with the power of the Heaven and Earth.
The moment the two Soul Shadows disappeared, Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's body also disappeared.
In the next moment, he appeared behind Li Mu. A ghostly hand passed through Li Mu's body and reached out from his chest.
Li Mu turned his head and smiled slightly at Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. His body gradually became illusory and finally disappeared. Not far ahead, another Li Mu stood there, completely unharmed.
The "Dequeuing" Mantra was a doppelganger technique. It could instantly create an illusory doppelganger. The original body and the doppelganger could shift positions and dodge fatal attacks.
With the Eighteen Nether Prison Formation blocking him, Li Mu was able to withstand the backlash of the Heaven and Earth power of the seventh word with his Spirit Condensation cultivation. He could forcefully use the eighth and ninth words, but he would definitely be injured.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon withdrew his hand. He looked at Li Mu from afar. His expression became extremely dark.
This was the strongest and most troublesome Spirit Condensation cultivator he had ever encountered.
His ability was no weaker than a cultivator who had just entered the Fifth Realm.
As expected of the Thousand Illusions Venerable. He had countless Dao techniques. Even if his cultivation had fallen to the Third Realm, Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon would not be able to do anything to him.
Not only that, but the Heaven and Earth power that these Dao techniques used would pass through the Eighteen Nether Prison Formation. The Eighteen Ghostly Generals had to bear the brunt of this Heaven and Earth power. In this short period of time, the 18 pillars of light had dimmed. The power of the formation had also been weakened by 10%. If this continued, the power of the formation would continue to weaken.
"Heaven and Earth are boundless. Wind and thunder receive orders. Dragons fight in the wild. Ten sides are destroyed. Heavenly Lord Taiyi, as the law commands! "
Li Mu formed another seal with his hands. He was using the second incantation of the Demon Slayer Protective Art. Wind and thunder suddenly appeared beside Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. The wind was green and seemed to want to blow his soul away. The thunder was purple and struck his body. Even with his strong soul, it did not feel good.
However, this was clearly not enough to threaten him.
He reached out and formed a steel fork in his hand. He laughed coldly. "Lord Thousand Illusions, if this is all you have, then don't blame me for today..."
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's body disappeared. At the same time, Li Mu also felt a strong sense of danger.
He did not hesitate to take out a Fu-lu and stick it on his body.
A steel fork appeared in the void. However, Li Mu had already disappeared. All that was left was an afterimage.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon's body appeared. He looked at Li Mu in the distance with a solemn expression.
In that moment, his speed had exceeded the limit of a Assembled Spirit cultivator. That was a speed that only Dongxuan cultivators could achieve.
"Damn it. How many more Dao techniques does he have?!" He had never met such a troublesome Assembled Spirit cultivator. Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon cursed in his heart. He held the steel fork and quickly chased after him.
Li Mu stood on Baiyi as he utilized the Earth-Rank Strider Talisman to fly in the sky, whereas King Chu Jiang held the steel pitchfork in his hand as he pursued relentlessly from behind. Every time the distance between him and Li Mu shrunk, Li Mu would utilize the Strider Talisman with all his might to pull the distance apart once more.
The Spirit Travel Talisman could last for an hour. It was enough for Xuandu and the White Demon King to arrive.
Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon seemed to have seen through Li Mu's thoughts. He hovered in the air. After a while, he ignored him and landed on the square in front of the State Temple.
He glanced at Li Mu and prepared to sacrifice the people of the county to increase his cultivation.
When he successfully advanced to the sixth stage of the Essence Soul Realm, no matter how mysterious the Thousand Illusions Divine Ability was, he would definitely die.
Li Mu stood in the sky and looked down at Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon.
It would take five minutes to activate the Eighteen Yin Prison Great Formation.
Just a moment ago, he had already thought of a countermeasure.
Li Mu looked up at the blood-colored great formation. His heart was filled with a sense of security.
He slowly landed on the ground and formed a seal with his hands. After muttering a few words, he broke into a run.
In the center of the formation, Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon was using all his strength to activate the Eighteen Yin Prison Great Formation. Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of fear.
He looked up and saw the eighteen pillars of light rapidly dimming. The blood-colored great formation trembled violently for a moment and collapsed.
Before he could activate the formation and sacrifice the people of the county, the great formation that he had spent so much effort to set up was gone.
