"Eternal Sword Technique!"
After shattering the stone pillar, Li Mo's eyes gleamed coldly as he slashed out a crescent-shaped sword Qi at the middle-aged man.
Puff!
The middle-aged man did not expect Li Mo to not retreat or dodge. After shattering the stone pillar with his sword, he continued to attack him. Without any reaction, the sword qi slashed at his body.
The mist rolled, and the middle-aged man's body changed drastically.
He turned from a human into a monster that looked like a clam demon and a toad. The toad inside the clam opened its shell and had a tumor on its head. It was dark red and extremely disgusting.
It opened its mouth wide, and everything in the hall turned into mist and was swallowed into its stomach.
Li Mo looked around. This was not a luxurious hall, but a dirty cave.
The six Bushuo and Buxiao middle-aged men were skeletons. They sat there, their bones black in color. Other than that, there was a large pile of white bones on the ground, extending all the way to the seat. It was the red carpet that they had seen earlier.
Looking further back, the side room was also a stone cave. It was a few feet wide, and there was a huge pit below it. The pit was filled with gray liquid.
Sticky bubbles were rising up. When the bubbles exploded, the airflow stored in them touched the wall of the cave and corroded a large area of charred marks.
Even though he knew that everything that happened earlier was just an illusion, Li Mo still couldn't help but gasp.
If he had not noticed it in advance, he would have stepped into the gray liquid and not even his bones would have remained. What was even more terrifying was that...
If his guess was correct, this monster should be a Mirage Beast that was extremely rare in True Spirit Continent.
He liked to suck people's brains and turn their memories into his own.
Then, according to the memories in his mind, he extracted a type of mirage energy and arranged it into a vivid illusion, making it impossible for people to tell the real from the fake.
Mirage beasts were demonic beasts that could evolve. It was rumored that top-notch Mirage beasts could evolve into Mirage Dragons.
It could transform into a mystic realm between breaths. However, this Mirage Beast was not afraid of it. Among demonic beasts of the same level, Mirage Beasts were the weakest. Other than the Mirage Qi, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Where is that girl?" Li Mo stared at the Mirage Beast.
The Mirage Beast growled, its small eyes filled with malice.
Li Mo frowned and then remembered that the Mirage Beast could not speak. Only in the illusion did people think it could speak.
In fact, the other party had not said anything from the beginning to the end. Everything was based on the atmosphere and he had imagined it.
"Since that's the case, there's no need to keep you.”
Li Mo had already injured the Mirage Beast with his previous strike, causing it to lose control of its Mirage Qi. He was not afraid that the Mirage Beast would unleash its Mirage Qi again. He stomped his foot and released his hidden force. Immediately, three sword Qis flew out in a triangular formation.
Boom!
The Mirage Beast flew high into the air due to the explosion of the hidden force and endured the three sword Qi.
After crashing into the wall, the Mirage Beast suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of mist. The mist turned into a ball of fire in the air and burned toward Li Mo.
"Watch me break your mirage energy!"
Li Mo didn't dare to face the fire directly, fearing that there was a trap. He used the Eternal Sword Technique and the Sword Raising Form, merging the fire into it and charging at the Mirage Beast.
Terrifying screams sounded
A bloody hole appeared on the Mirage Beast's head. The edge of the hole was pitch-black, and a disgusting burnt smell spread out.
"There really is a trap!"
The Sword Lifting Form of the Eternal Sword Technique did not attack, but it could be integrated into the opponent's attack. The Mirage Beast was clearly reaping what it sowed.
What Li Mo did not know was that the Mirage Beast's Mirage Qi contained the Five Elements Yuan Qi, and the Fire Yuan Qi was one of them.
The flame just now was the essence of the fire in its body, and it would be difficult to condense it again. It was afraid that it could not kill Li Mo in one strike, so it used the Mirage Qi to hide the existence of the flame.
Then, he retracted the mirage energy on the way, making it easy for people to have the illusion that it was an illusion.
As long as Li Mo was not careful, there was a high chance that he would fail miserably.
This demonic beast's intelligence was not inferior to humans. In terms of viciousness and cunning, most humans were no match for it.
Li Mo's pupils shrank into a dot. He had the intention to kill this Mirage Beast. He could not let it stay, or else it would be a disaster.
"Die!"
With a low shout, Li Mo struck out with his finger and sword.
Crack, bang!
Like a broken sack, the Mirage Beast lay limply on the ground, motionless. However, Li Mo was afraid that it would not be safe, so he attacked a few more times until the Mirage Beast was no longer in its beast form.
Walking to the side of the Mirage Beast's corpse, Li Mo stretched out his hand and sucked in a fist-sized inner core. The inner core was covered in a layer of mist, and mist seeped out from it. It was very eerie and could easily cause hallucinations.
Li Mo took out a slightly larger jade box from his storage ring and placed the inner core of the Mirage Beast inside.
After putting away the jade box, Li Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He looked around, hoping to find some clues.
In the illusion earlier, the other party had mentioned the characteristics of the old man's granddaughter. He should have seen her before, but he did not know if she was in danger.
If he was in danger, there was nothing he could do. After all, it would take too long. The Mirage Beast was not a vegetarian demon beast. It specialized in eating human brains. Its evilness was ranked among the top demon beasts.
No, Li Mo suddenly shook his head.
The Mirage Beast couldn't speak, so everything that happened in the illusion wasn't important. However, how did it know the characteristics of the old man's granddaughter?
Could it be that those were my own memories? The other party made me hallucinate and told me the answer I wanted to know?
In other words, no matter who it was, as long as they were in the illusion, there would be no loopholes in their words because they had already answered the questions they wanted to ask.
Li Mo smiled bitterly. He was convinced by the Mirage Beast. If it wasn't for the fact that he was suspicious and his soul power was abnormally strong, he would have fallen into the other party's trap.
After searching carefully and seeing that there were no clues, Li Mo immediately walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, the flat ground was a wasteland covered with weeds. The stone bridge was just a fallen boulder. As for the gully, it was real. There was a lake below.
Following the path he came from, Li Mo flew down the mountain.
A moment later.
The lost ship appeared in his sight. There were more than ten people standing there, including a young girl in a yellow dress. The young girl had a beautiful appearance and a clean temperament.
The girl was Lu Xinying, the old man's granddaughter.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I found my granddaughter.”The old man was all smiles.
Li Mo rubbed his nose and said," That's for the best.”
"Did you cause any trouble?" Lu Chengfeng asked.”
"No, I haven't." Li Mo didn't want to cause any more trouble. After all, the other party's goal was to find Lu Xinying, so there was no need to mention the Mirage Beast.
"That's good. Let's go back! It's getting late." The old man nodded.
The lost ship was abandoned on the spot. Everyone boarded the ironwood ship and sailed along the same route.
On the way back, the number of demon beasts did not decrease. Instead, it was even more dangerous because it was close to evening.
Fortunately, Li Mo and Lu Chengfeng were protecting the ironwood vessel, preventing it from leaving its route.
When the last ray of sunlight disappeared, everyone had already returned to Pan Shan Island.
The night was silent!
The next morning, Li Mo bade farewell to everyone.
As for Lu Chengfeng, who rarely came back, he planned to stay for a few more days.
On the surface of the Cloud Dream Lake, the water was sparkling. A person was stepping on a tree trunk as he hurried forward.
"The inner disciple ranking competition is about to begin. I wonder if there are any powerful characters among the top ten inner disciples.”
Li Mo's gold-lined white robe fluttered in the wind as he looked at the scenery in the lake while thinking.
