Chapter 365

However, the sorcerers mixed in the crowd began to mutter incantations, and the ground under "Xu Guang" suddenly turned soft and collapsed. Its own tonnage was too great, and after two steps, it sank in and couldn't pull its feet out. He Lingchuan gave Wu Jingsong a look and gestured with his chin, and the three of them climbed down the tree trunk.

This sorcerer was protected in the middle by the soldiers, looking hard to hit with flying arrows.

Seeing that his companions were ready, Xu Dongdong flicked his hand and threw something toward the sorcerer.

The soldiers saw an object flying over and thought it was a stray arrow, so they casually blocked it. Who would have thought that this thing would explode immediately upon touching a weapon, and a strange, fishy, and incomparably foul stench would immediately permeate the air.

How could the nearby soldiers be prepared? One by one, they bent over and vomited uncontrollably.

The sorcerer's spell could no longer be maintained, and he leaned against the gate, vomiting violently.

A great opportunity!

Wu Jingsong and the others had long been aiming, and they took the opportunity to shoot.

His luck was truly good; just as the sorcerer turned his head, the arrow shot into his mouth, and he couldn't open it for a while.

However, Wu Jingsong and the others also discovered that their sharp arrows seemed unable to kill these ghost things; they could only destroy the white paper figures they possessed.

No one could endure this foul stench that invaded the soul, and the soldiers dodged one after another. The giant ox that had sunk into the ground took the opportunity to kick its hooves and climb back onto the solid ground.

This time it was angered, and it didn't intend to take a running start on the long street anymore; it turned around and crashed into it.

More than a dozen defenders were killed, the defensive formation shattered with a pop, and the wooden gate of the drill ground burst at the same time!

It was time.

Since the formation was broken, He Lingchuan leaped down from the tree and jumped to the side of the red bird.

Outside the mirror, Gan Sanye Gan, who had been watching the battlefield, changed his expression: "Not good."

He pinched a seal and was just about to cast a supernatural power, but suddenly said: "It will cost three years of life? No, absolutely not!"

"If you wait for him to come out, you'll have only one dead end!"

Gan Sanye Gan sneered: "What does it have to do with me? It's you who are afraid he'll settle the score!"

He muttered to himself, as if playing two roles; if an outsider were here, they would probably think this person had a split personality.

In the time it took to delay, He Lingchuan had already leaped onto the drill ground.

He first threw an object under Qingxu's feet, then turned back and drew Fusheng, slashing with all his might at another sorcerer! This blade condensed all his essence, qi, and spirit, yet it had not a shred of killing intent, quiet as rain moistening things.

And according to the effect of Du Hunsan, he was invisible before he wounded the enemy.

This sorcerer was holding the mirror and exerting force, caught off guard by an invisible force approaching. Before he could even feel a sense of warning, the red light around his body shattered as soon as it rose—his protective magic artifact had exploded.

Immediately after, his fine head flew up.

The mirror in his arms lost its controller, its light vanished instantly, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

On the other side, the object He Lingchuan threw out grew larger upon hitting the ground; it was the Golden-Armored Copper Man! After this thing grew larger, its height exceeded one and a half yards, and it was unimaginably thick and sturdy. The first thing it did after appearing was to punch Qingxu away!

With its strength, if this punch had hit an ordinary person, it could have directly sent their head flying.

Qingxu also had a protective magic artifact, and although it wasn't blown up, that didn't stop him from being sent flying more than three yards away.

The positioning of the mirror holder was very important; as soon as he was sent flying, the mirror also lost its effect and retracted its light.

Two of the six magic mirrors were gone, and the red bird seized the opportunity to break free, turning its head to spray several mouthfuls of true fire at the remaining sorcerers to take revenge, while its body size simultaneously returned to normal.

Although it couldn't burn them to death, it made them look incredibly disheveled.

Taking advantage of this time, He Lingchuan had already jumped onto the shoulder of the Golden-Armored Copper Man and shouted to Wu Jingsong and the others: "Get down!"

The three of them also jumped down and hugged the shoulders and back of the Golden-Armored Copper Man.

Taking advantage of the red bird lowering its head to pull out the arrow, the Golden-Armored Copper Man, under He Lingchuan's control, jumped onto its back.

Gan Sanye Gan outside the mirror had finally reached an agreement with himself at this time, muttering words, and then pointed into the mirror! A red light descended from the sky and covered He Lingchuan.

Being marked with such a large, bold sign, he was of course the focus of the entire field.

At this time, General Yu also rushed over from far away on the long street. Seeing the red light descend, he grabbed his bow and nocked an arrow without hesitation.

He didn't know what kind of appearance He Lingchuan had transformed into in its eyes.

"Damn it!" He Lingchuan didn't see him draw the bow, but a sense of warning suddenly arose in his heart, and he ducked under the Golden-Armored Copper Man.

The Golden-Armored Copper Man was hugging the red bird's neck, its body arched like a bow. With He Lingchuan ducking like this, he was basically safe.

Then General Yu's arrow arrived, shooting through the Golden-Armored Copper Man's arm with a "deng" sound, brushing past He Lingchuan's ear.

Its power was unquestionable; when the Golden-Armored Copper Man was made, it was mixed with Yu gold, which was hard to damage with blades, yet it was pierced through the forearm by this arrow.

With him taking the lead, the defenders of course rushed into the drill ground, pointing their spears and lances at the red bird and stabbing.

The red bird had an extra heavy burden on its body and originally wanted to shake the Golden-Armored Copper Man off, but it was stabbed by this group of small people until it couldn't take it anymore, so it had to flap its wings and take off, getting away from the ground first.

A rain of arrows was fired from below, and it was particularly wary of General Yu's arrows, so it had to fly higher as quickly as possible.

Wu Jingsong and Xu Dongdong also ducked under the chest of the Golden-Armored Copper Man to avoid the rain of arrows; the third person's movements were slightly slower, and he was shot into a hornet's nest, falling straight to the ground.

Fortunately, the two who survived couldn't feel sadness at this time, but just asked He Lingchuan loudly: "What do we do now?"

He pointed to the bright moon in the sky: "Fly toward the exit!"

After saying this, the Golden-Armored Copper Man hugged the red bird's long neck tightly and pulled upward to control the direction, and this spirit bird naturally flew toward the high place.

"You group of ants are so bold!" The red bird suddenly spoke in human language, "Get off!"

It used all its strength to dodge the arrows below, and the two arrows shot by General Yu were both dodged by it. Once it flew higher, it would definitely deal with these few fleas on its body.

Wu Jingsong and the other were stunned, unable to understand.

He Lingchuan's long-practiced Immortal Language finally had a place to be used: "If you carry us and fly up, I won't hurt you, how about that?"

"Hurt me?" The red bird laughed loudly, "Just by you?"

This bird laughed too unpleasantly, with no appearance of a Taoist immortal. He Lingchuan drew the Fusheng blade and lightly slashed across its back.

Skin split and flesh opened.

The red bird immediately felt pain in its back and was shocked: "How can you hurt me?"

It had an indestructible body; even those few fools who flew by controlling artifacts could only restrain it, but couldn't kill it. How could this small person break its defense with one blade?

He Lingchuan thought, you paper figure, in front of the "Void-Breaking" characteristic of the Fusheng blade, aren't you just a pig with an onion in its nose, pretending to be an elephant? These things fly to the sky and dive to the earth, fighting and setting fires, looking very awesome, and he didn't know what rules the illusion here followed. But essentially, it hadn't changed; it was still a paper figure driven by a vengeful spirit, so it had to be countered by Fusheng.

This was also a rule.

He didn't know how awesome the real Red Luan was, he only knew that this paper bird could definitely be pierced by Fusheng.

He Lingchuan slashed two more times, and the red bird had to admit defeat: "Where do you want to fly?"

"Fly toward the round moon."

Were these people sick? But with the precious blade held to its neck, it had to obey obediently.

He Lingchuan seized the time to collect information: "Are you Red Luan?" The characteristics of this big bird were not hard to recognize.

"Nonsense!"

"What is General Yu's full name?"

"Yu Shanming."

"Why doesn't he kill you?" General Yu could shoot down Red Luan, so he likely had the ability to kill it, but he only let his fellow disciples trap it, why? "He wants to take me as a national spirit beast." Red Luan said contemptuously, "Wishful thinking!"

He Lingchuan asked again: "Which country does the White Elephant City we are in belong to?" Just now, he had seen the name of this city on the stone stele at the base of the pagoda.

"Of course it's the Pu Kingdom!" Red Luan thought to itself, does this person have some serious illness! "Which sect do General Yu and Qingxu belong to?"

"Tianyan Sect." Red Luan wondered, "How come you don't know anything?"

He Lingchuan rubbed his nose: "We are just innocent passersby."

Xu Dongdong suddenly said: "Someone is chasing from behind."

He Lingchuan looked down and it really was "people": Qingxu and the others were chasing by controlling artifacts, but their flight speed couldn't keep up with a natural spirit bird like Red Luan, so they could only hang behind, but their hands weren't idle, and supernatural powers were fired one after another.

This Red Luan was truly remarkable; even with its wings leaking air, it could dodge them one by one.

The moon became larger and brighter in front of the three of them.

They could see Gan Sanye Gan's iron-blue complexion through the "round moon," and even the veins on his forehead were clearly countable. Of course, Red Luan turned a blind eye to it, and it said to the three: "We can't fly up anymore."

There was an invisible barrier above, and no matter how it flapped its wings, it couldn't break through.

This was the boundary of the mirror world, and it couldn't fly out.

At this time, Qingxu guided a sword light to shoot over, and Red Luan didn't dodge well, and two flight feathers were slashed off with a "shua" sound.

A spirit bird like it naturally had the ability to control the wind, but with its wings damaged, dodging supernatural powers wasn't as flexible.

In the blink of an eye, it was hit by two more moves.

Gan Sanye Gan outside the mirror pinched his fingers into a seal, and two bolts of thunder suddenly descended from the sky, striking the Red Luan simultaneously.

Then, Gan Sanye Gan had a nosebleed; clearly, forcibly summoning "heavenly thunder" into this battlefield was not easy for him.

Two bolts of thunder, one struck the Red Luan, completely knocking it down, and it went into a nose-dive.

The other bolt of thunder struck the Golden-Armored Copper Man, and although it caused electric light to flicker all over its body, most of the damage was absorbed, and not much was conducted to the three humans.

Originally, when the Golden-Armored Copper Man was cast, it had the attribute of protecting its master.

The round moon was close at hand, yet they were about to fail at the last moment. He Lingchuan decisively shouted to Wu Jingsong and the other: "Let go!"

"Ah?" Red Luan was flipping and falling; if they let go, wouldn't they be gone?

"Trust me, let go!"

The lack of soul actually manifested a benefit; the two were neither worried, nor afraid, nor suspicious, and sure enough, they let go directly.

The Golden-Armored Copper Man grabbed the three of them and threw them violently toward the round moon!

The next instant, the Golden-Armored Copper Man and Red Luan both fell, but He Lingchuan and the three were riding the clouds and mist, only seeing the round moon rapidly enlarging in front of them—

They passed through it.

With a few bangs, the three landed in the bamboo building. Xu Dongdong unfortunately hit the wall with his face and became He Lingchuan's human cushion again. The latter secretly said "offense," borrowed force from his back to step, and turned to rush toward Gan Sanye Gan.

This guy ignored his own swaying and unstable figure, picked up the mirror on the table, and ran. Two fierce tigers also pounced out from inside the room, their fangs and claws ghastly, aiming straight to bite him.
