Chapter 3060: Death God's Kaleidoscope
Driven by Cang Yan's powerful Yuan force, they would only be even harder to deal with than Ju City's fierce generals.
In the blink of an eye, two Celestial Demons fifty zhang outside Yingzi Tian were caught off guard by a large swarm of Gecko Beasts bursting from the ground in a sudden attack, and were inadvertently struck in vital points by the army and killed.
This was also the reason why Duanmu Heng's team, despite possessing two Celestial Demons, still had to carry out the infiltration plan. No one was willing to gnaw on a hard bone; it was easy to break one's teeth.
After another ten-odd breaths, two more Celestial Demons fell inexplicably. This time, it wasn't Gecko Beasts or Cang Yan soldiers inflicting fatal wounds on them, but the two of them themselves staggering and suddenly toppling over.
After twitching twice more, they stopped moving, exhaling the last breath from their chests.
Looking at them again now, their skin was wrinkled and sallow, and yellow spots had even grown on it.
Never mind the Celestial Demons, even the Cang Yan army didn't understand the cause. But they couldn't have asked for such an accident to befall the enemy.
At this moment, Yingzi Tian had already sent a signal via divine sense to all Celestial Demons behind Chixiao Golden Hall: the target is right here!
As long as they held out a moment longer, reinforcements would arrive.
Du Shan in the outer hall, commanding overall authority through the Haoyuan Golden Mirror and issuing orders to the various troops, was also sweating profusely. The Celestial Demons originally scattered toward Mei Lake, even while being pursued and blocked by Ju City's army, began to converge on General Hong's position.
Duanmu hadn't miscalculated; the Cang Yan army would find it hard to split into dozens of groups to pursue the enemy, so at this moment dozens of Celestial Demons were already about to arrive.
This information was also relayed to General Hong by Du Shan in real time.
She had no choice but to strike her chest mid-battle, activating the core of Chixiao Golden Hall.
The ground instantly trembled unceasingly; the terrain inside the inner palace abruptly changed, every path either displaced or turned into a dead-end. The Celestial Demons about to arrive suddenly found a very long stretch of road added to their journey.
But in a clash between masters, how could a single superfluous movement be allowed? Zi Tian seized this opening and punched her on the shoulder; everyone heard a crisp "crack"!
General Hong was knocked flying over ten zhang.
At this moment, dozens of Vajra Shuttles were also fired from the side, intending to pin her to the ground.
It was Wei Jia who had seized the gap precisely.
Ying Tian laughed loudly, "whoosh," and shot off in pursuit, wanting to press the advantage.
Even the Hundred Battle Heaven, famed in the Heavenly Realm as the "War God," would have to flee wounded under their brothers' combined tag-team assault, but General Hong was truly a tough nut; she had withstood Yingzi Tian's assault for so long without falling into a disadvantage.
Having finally seized a sliver of initiative, Ying Tian absolutely refused to let it go!
Although he had left his elder brother, the distance between them wasn't far — only seventy zhang or so. For a Greater Celestial Demon, wasn't that just a single thought, a step or two?
It just so happened that this time it wasn't.
Zi Tian had just rushed over when Ying Tian felt the surrounding light suddenly dim, unable to see his hand before his face.
The originally clamorous sounds of weapons clashing, shouts, roars, and footsteps all disappeared together.
From clamor to extreme silence, it took only a single breath.
He secretly cried "bad," and casually tossed out six or seven pale blue frost orbs, each suspended in mid-air, emitting bright blue light.
Ying Tian then discovered the surrounding scenery had completely changed.
He actually saw five of himself!
Ying Tian was startled; looking closely, he realized he was standing in a strange space — up, down, front, back, left, right, all were mirror surfaces!
Every mirror surface reflected a figure of him.
Aside from him, everyone else, including Zi Tian, was not here.
The brothers were born with a telepathic connection, knowing each other's position at every moment. But now when he activated his mind-sense, he could only vaguely sense Zi Tian was probably not far from him — just to the — left?
Ying Tian was also bold from skill, and without hesitation crashed toward the left mirror surface.
What did he have to fear? There were already precious few things in this world that could harm him.
With such a crash, the mirror went "clang" and shattered cleanly into countless pieces.
Ying Tian passed through the broken mirror.
What was behind that mirror?
Nothing new — still six prism faces.
Still six mirrors!
He had smashed open an alleyway, only to fall into another alleyway; everything seemed no different from before.
Is it an Illusion, or a small world?
Does General Hong want to use this method to separate him from his younger brother?
No, that's not right; not everything is different. Ying Tian suddenly sensed that the direction his younger brother was in had changed!
Zi Tian had originally been not far to his left, but now had suddenly shifted to directly above, and the distance had also sharply increased, so that even the telepathic connection felt somewhat unreal.
What is going on!
Suddenly someone said to him: "You are weaker than I predicted —"
It was General Hong's voice!
Her figure suddenly appeared directly in front.
Without a second thought, Ying Tian raised a forelimb and shot two ice armor projectiles over.
Clang — General Hong's figure shattered along with the mirror surface, breaking into sky-full of dust and powder.
But her voice still lingered in Ying Tian's ears: "— weaker! Without Zi Tian, you are utterly useless!"
Ying Tian scanned his surroundings and said warily: "What kind of place is this?"
He only knew now that this was a world of prisms.
"Have you ever played with a kaleidoscope?"
What thing is that? Ying Tian did not answer.
"This is a human toy, and also your Ice Pivot." General Hong's voice was flat as water, "The more you struggle, the more painfully you will die in the end."
Ying Tian naturally didn't believe it, and simultaneously fired five ice armor projectiles toward the mirror surfaces in five directions.
The mirror surfaces shattered again, dust flying.
But the space behind the mirrors was also revealed, larger and brighter than the one he had been in before.
He sprinted forward more than ten steps and discovered that multiple wedge-shaped sharp corners had actually appeared ahead, and the mirror surfaces had increased as well, becoming a full twelve faces!
He refused to accept it and immediately smashed these twelve mirrors to pieces. Because his sleeve sensed that Zhi Tian's position was very close to his sleeve again, separated by at most a few dozen zhang!
He had to rendezvous as quickly as possible.
However, after the mirrors shattered, the next space was even more complex, filled with irregular multi-faceted mirrors!
Ying Tian roared at the mirror surfaces ahead: "This place isn't even a minor world, you don't actually think you can really trap me, do you?"
What use is just trapping him? It doesn't cause him any harm. Besides, his Heavenly Demon army will arrive any moment now.
Moreover, he also discovered that the arrangement of these mirror surfaces seemed to follow some pattern; some had already appeared before. Perhaps after a few more attempts, he could figure out how to deal with these shiny things.
Just what is this "kaleidoscope" the female general spoke of?
Her method of confining opponents, why is it so similar to Mi Tian's?
A mirror surface flashed, and the Red General appeared in the mirror again. Given there were thirty-odd mirrors here, that meant thirty-odd Red Generals. Before Ying Tian could act, these thirty-odd Red Generals were smashed to pieces along with the mirrors.
He murmured: "The number of mirrors probably won't increase again."
Sure enough, the next space returned to six mirrors again. And the distance between Zhi Tian and him had drawn closer once more.
Back to square one again, but this isn't a bad thing. Heaving a heavy breath of rough air, next he had to consider how to break this boring mirror-style labyrinth!
The strangest thing was, there was actually a corpse hanging upside down here!
