Shi Mu waited in the palace for a moment, then heard the palace door being pushed open with a creaking sound, and a white sword energy swept in in a criss-cross pattern.
Immediately after, the middle-aged man Guan Bai was seen holding a silver sword in his hand, and his figure flashed in like a ghost.
His eyes glanced around the hall, his eyes full of alertness.
However, after a moment, those alert looks turned into doubtful looks.
"Junior sister Qu, that boy is not in the palace, has he escaped outside?" Guan Bai shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of aqua-blue light suddenly lit up behind the column not far in front of him, rippling like ripples.
The next moment, Shi Mu's figure suddenly flew out from the invisible water curtain, a white light flashed from his right fist, and he hit Guan Bai hard.
Guan Bai was startled, and he hurriedly swung the long sword in his hand, forming numerous silver sword shadows. The bright silver light weaved into a sword net, blocking him in front of him.
At the same time, a silver light flashed on his body, and a piece of silver armor emerged, surrounded by runes, protecting the vital parts of his chest and abdomen.
Shi Mu's offensive momentum did not stop at all, and the white light in his hand doubled again.
There was a loud "boom" sound.
The moment the silver light sword net encountered the white light, it twisted and immediately disintegrated.
Shi Mu's right fist didn't pause at all, and hit Guan Bai's chest directly.
This scene seems long, but in fact it only happens in the blink of an eye!
Before Qu Xin could even reply to Guan Bai's words, she saw the palace door burst into pieces, and Guan Bai's body fell out like a broken sack.
When he saw the broken armor and the scorched black hole on Guan Bai's chest, he immediately screamed.
"This is... the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique. Who are you?"
"You want to chase me to death, but you can't blame me." Shi Mu said and walked out of the hall.
Seeing the tragic death of Guan Bai, who was even more powerful than him, Qu Xin's face turned pale, she stepped back a few steps on her toes, and started to use the magic formula in her hand quickly.
The sky above Shi Mu suddenly darkened, and a large cloud of red fire floated over, from which came the sound of rolling muffled thunder.
Just hearing Qu Xin's scream, dots of light behind her flew into the fire cloud, and a large flaming meteorite suddenly fell from the cloud.
Shi Mu took a step forward, waved with one hand, and the blue crystal flag flew out, suddenly bursting out with a large amount of water-blue light.
A huge, slightly curved wall of water covered Shi Mu's head, protecting him underneath him.
"Rumble"
A series of huge roaring sounds sounded.
Dozens of flaming boulders hit the water wall, as if they were smashed into the deep sea. After splashing huge water splashes, they all became silent.
After a while, all the flaming meteorites settled down. Except for the area covered by the water wall, there was no intact place around Shi Mu. The short hall behind him had already collapsed and turned completely into ruins.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and waved the blue crystal flag in his hand, and the huge wall of water rolled out and hit Qu Xin.
Qu Xin kept moving her hands in front of her body, and a red round bronze mirror emerged from the void.
Shi Mu glanced over and saw that the bronze mirror was the size of a human head and was engraved with flame patterns. It seemed to be a low-grade magic weapon.
Just listen to the sound of "hoo".
A huge red flame surged out from the circular bronze mirror, forming a huge wall of fire in mid-air, and collided with Shi Mu's wall of water.
As soon as the water and fire met, there was a "sizzling" sound in mid-air, and a large white mist steamed up.
Shi Mu's eyes narrowed, and a burst of black light suddenly lit up on his left hand, and traces of white cold air suddenly emerged and poured into the water wall.
In mid-air, there was a loud "ka-ka" sound.
The blue water wall immediately turned into solid ice, and the temperature at the intersection of the fire wall dropped sharply, and it quickly went out.
There was a loud "boom" sound.
A huge wall of ice came down, covered in flames, and smashed the ground into a huge pit with a radius of ten feet.
Countless ice crystal fragments flew in all directions, and Qu Xin's figure was caught in the middle and flew backwards.
As soon as he landed on the ground and before he could stand still, a green sword blade pierced through the center of his chest.
There was a soft sound of "poof".
The Qingming Sword pierced through his body and flew back to Shi Mu's hand in a flash.
Shi Mu glanced at the two corpses, waved his hand, and two storage rings flew into his palm.
Then, he picked up the silver sword and the red bronze mirror on the ground without having time to examine them carefully. Then he waved his hand and summoned two fireballs. After burning the corpse, he turned and walked towards the back of Qingli Palace.
About half an hour later, Zhao Jian and two other Qinglan disciples also arrived near the low palace.
They wanted to pass by directly, but Zhao Jian suddenly stopped in place with a raised brow.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what's wrong?" Behind him, a demon man with red hair and pointed ears asked.
Zhao Jian didn't speak. He pointed at his forehead with one hand. The vertical line in the center of his forehead suddenly opened, revealing a silvery vertical eye that scanned around.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped in the open space at the entrance of the palace, his pupils shrank suddenly, and there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes.
…
Two days later, somewhere in the ruins of Kunlun.
Shi Mu's figure walked out of a gap in the back wall of an incomplete palace, walked forward for a short distance, and stopped in front of a huge wall of purple mist.
For the past two days, he has been walking through the ruins without stopping, constantly changing directions.
Although he still has not been able to contact Yanluo, with the help of the colorful spiritual patterns on his chest, he can completely ignore the guardian puppets along the way and just pay attention to the prohibitions along the way. As he goes deeper, he will see some palace buildings along the way.
In the process, he also found many traces of battles left in ancient times, allowing him to find some fragments of magic weapons.
However, the seven-colored light emitted by the seven-colored spirit pattern on the chest became increasingly dim as time went by, and only then did he realize that this item had a temporary effect.
However, according to his estimation, unless Zhao Jian and others have other means, they should be unable to catch up with him.
Shi Mu looked up at the purple wall of fog rising into the sky, and frowned slightly.
This mist seems nothing special, but the power of my consciousness will bounce back if it penetrates a little deeper.
He pondered for a moment, then flipped his wrist, and the red bronze mirror he had obtained before immediately appeared.
As Shi Mu's magic formula was pressed, the flame pattern on the bronze mirror lit up, and a ball of red flames immediately surged out and hit the purple fog wall.
There is a sound of "hoo".
A purple mist suddenly surged out and engulfed the flame. Almost instantly, the flame was decomposed and completely disappeared.
Shi Mu frowned and looked along the purple fog wall to the left and right sides. He saw that the fog wall spread to the end of his field of vision, but he did not see an entrance.
He no longer hesitated, raised his steps, and walked to the right along the purple fog wall.
This walk lasted only half a day, and just when Shi Mu was almost determined to turn back, a huge white jade palace finally appeared wherever he looked.
When he came closer, Shi Mu saw that the white jade palace was more than ten feet high. Most of it was hidden in the purple mist, revealing an empty doorway. There was no purple mist inside, but there was a faint light shining through it.
Shi Mu's eyes glowed with golden light. He glanced into the doorway and saw that there was no restrictive magic circle inside, so he took a big step and walked into the doorway.
It was pitch dark inside the doorway, with only a faint light at the end, and he walked cautiously toward that light.
At this moment, Shi Mu suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, and saw that the ball of light in front of him seemed to grow rapidly.
He immediately woke up, his body suddenly brightened with light, golden scales surged out, and light blue water armor also covered his whole body.
Only a muffled sound of "bang" was heard.
A fire spear made of solidified red flames shot into Shi Mu's chest.
Large sparks splashed up, and the light on the water armor swayed and fluctuated, trying to unload the huge force layer by layer.
However, before the water armor could completely dissolve the power of the fire spear, another purple light lit up inside the doorway.
A purple electric ball the size of a human head made a "chi-la" sound, passed through the doorway, and hit the spot where the fire spear had just been shot.
There was a loud "boom" sound.
The ball of purple electricity exploded in front of Shi Mu's chest, a large piece of blue light spread out, dozens of golden scales flipped up and fell off, and his water armor and totem golden scales broke at the same time.
Shi Mu let out a muffled groan and flew backwards from the palace. The clothes on his chest were reduced to ashes, revealing a large area of skin dripping with blood.
But then, a green light flashed at the wound, and wooden textures appeared on it, looking like a piece of blue bark. The original wound immediately healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As soon as Shi Mu landed on the ground, he stood up like a carp, his limbs feeling faintly numb.
At this moment, a puppet alien beast with three lion heads was galloping out of the doorway.
It is more than three feet tall, its body is shining with light, and its aura reaches the late stage of heaven, making it look very powerful.
Shi Mu's eyes narrowed and he sighed in his heart. It seemed that the colorful spiritual patterns on his chest could no longer emit the colorful spiritual light that made the guardian puppets here retreat.
While thinking about it, the chest was once again covered with golden scales and water armor, and the white light on his right fist dimly lit up.
At this moment, the puppet alien beast had already rushed out of the doorway. The head in the middle opened its mouth wide, and a red fire spear suddenly shot out towards Shi Muji.
Shi Mu swung his right fist violently, and a blazing white fist flew out and hit the fire spear.
Just listen to a "bang" sound.
Large sparks scattered in all directions, and the fire spear suddenly broke into several pieces.
But then, a purple electric ball hit him again.
Shi Mu pointed his toes, stepped back a few feet, flipped his wrist, and held the Ruyi iron rod in his hand.
The long stick in his hand was extended forward, and the end of the stick rushed forward, hitting the electric ball hard.
There was a "boom" sound.
The purple electric ball exploded, and large areas of electric light overflowed.
Immediately afterwards, the light in Shi Mu's hand lit up, and a white flame immediately surged up, wrapping up the entire iron rod in an instant.
His figure moved forward, leaped up with long strides, and with a white light and shadow in his hand, he smashed down the three lion-headed puppets with the overwhelming force of the mountain.
