Chapter 464: The True Form of Grave Blood
Looking from Grave Blood’s perspective, Hachikuju was already in his grasp, while Zhang Mu beside the King of Warhorses would be dealt with later.
However, Zhang Mu stayed put obediently, looking troubled, but Grave Blood glanced at him once and then ignored him.
However, Zhang Mu’s illusion had already been activated, and Grave Blood didn’t pay much attention to Zhang Mu’s awakening ability mentioned by Ginseng King.
Because his mental power was so immense, he couldn’t be compared to Ginseng King.
Little did he know, Zhang Mu’s illusion was based on quality, and it had quietly created the illusion that he was still in place.
The real Zhang Mu was actually not there anymore, as Blood Lotus had already taken him underground.
Zhang Mu had no choice because if he had directly charged ahead, he would have definitely encountered trouble with the corpse puppet on the ground.
He was worried that Grave Blood would figure him out, but Grave Blood’s reaction made him relieved. Sharira’s power was strong, constantly disrupting the senses of third-rank spiritual beings in his mind.
But he was right when he took the gamble!
Zhang Mu had long sensed the strong mental power of Grave Blood, sensing the strength of another powerful spiritual being.
In terms of mental power, Zhang Mu had to admit that Grave Blood was superior, controlling so many corpse puppets with ease.
Zhang Mu’s gamble was on his own mental power, despite its impurity!
Zhang Mu had created a hole in his original position, but Grave Blood remained unaware.
The nearby King of Warhorses seemed to notice Zhang Mu’s abnormality, emitting a slight white vapor from its nostrils before settling down.
Zhang Mu was frustrated digging underground, blaming the stubborn King of Warhorses for refusing to help when asked earlier.
Zhang Mu had tried to communicate mentally with the King of Warhorses, only to be informed that it would not help humans. This forced him to test a new awakening ability on Grave Blood.
Luckily, the Blood Lotus moved forward quickly, so Zhang Mu, after a few complaints, arrived directly beneath where Hachikuju was.
At this time, Hachikuju was still trapped in his own memory barrier, unwilling to come out. However, his blade aura barrier had shrunk to barely protect the Red Blood and himself, almost disappearing!
Just as Red Blood was anxious to forcibly rush out of there with its owner, suddenly, the ground it was on collapsed.
Both the person and the horse fell into a huge crater. Red Blood was about to struggle, then felt Zhang Mu’s presence.
Zhang Mu made a hushing gesture towards the panting Red Blood, calming it down, saying, “Don’t move, I’ll lead you out!”
Red Blood communicated telepathically, instantly quieting down. The Blood Lotus suddenly expanded, wrapping them up, starting to burrow underground again.
It turns out the target of the corpse puppet on the ground had already been shifted elsewhere, futilely attacking. However, Zhang Mu had already controlled the Blood Lotus to move far away.
Zhang Mu’s illusion skills were extremely well done. He carefully observed the frequency of the previous corpse puppet attacks, keeping the amount of loss the same as it was under the blade aura barrier, making all the Grave Blood think this level of loss was normal.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead, as this illusion was really taxing and required a lot of concentration since it had to affect all the corpse puppets in that area simultaneously.
Grave Blood couldn’t tell which puppet was him, and Zhang Mu also couldn’t figure out which one of the many corpse puppets was the real Grave Blood.
He could only somewhat tell apart the real corpse puppets from the illusions.
Because all these corpse puppets had the exact same smell!
Out of the tens of thousands of corpse puppets, only a few thousand were real, but what Zhang Mu didn’t know was that the real Grave Blood was on the edge of the puppet crowd, watching his own doppelgangers with curiosity.
If Zhang Mu saw this, he would surely be extremely surprised.
The real Grave Blood turned out to be what he previously thought was just an illusion!
With Grave Blood’s cautious nature, he would never use his real form to attack Hachikuju, instead, he observed from a distance.
However, Zhang Mu never imagined that the real Grave Blood was among the illusions.
It was also fortunate for Zhang Mu that he managed to keep his illusions within the controlled area; if they had extended further, the real Grave Blood, untouched by the illusions, would have noticed Zhang Mu’s movements early on.
But now Grave Blood also sensed something wrong, he is investigating the cause.
It’s not that Zhang Mu is controlling the wrong frequency, on the contrary, it’s that Zhang Mu is controlling the frequency of the corpse puppet illusion to resemble disappearance too much compared to before!
Everything is too normal now, so normal that Grave Blood feels a bit eerie.
As the controller of the corpse puppet group, Grave Blood gradually realized that Hachikuju should be getting weaker and should even be swallowed by his own corpse puppet legion by now.
However, it didn’t happen.
Hachikuju, surrounded by the corpse puppet legion, remains at that last impossible distance, just one step away, yet always out of reach.
Seeing Zhang Mu in the distance, seemingly indifferent, Grave Blood’s heart tightened as he suddenly remembered the new awakening ability that Ginseng King had mentioned about Zhang Mu.
Have I been ensnared by this human illusion?
Grave Blood chuckled self-deprecatingly, finding his thoughts too absurd.
He absorbed countless spiritual powers, and he was sure that within the third rank, no creature’s spiritual power could compare to his.
But the cautious Grave Blood didn’t want to overlook any possibility, the blood patterns on his face started to move slowly as if alive.
Boom!
After accumulating spiritual power, a powerful spiritual sweeping wave spread out from the Grave Blood’s body as the source.
Under this majestic spiritual impact, Zhang Mu’s illusion set by Sharira began to disperse, restoring his original appearance.
Seeing a large hole generated next to the King of Warhorses and his own corpse puppet legion, Grave Blood’s face looked grim.
Did he really fall for a human illusion? Allowing the tortoise in the jar to be taken away like this.
Zhang Mu, how dare you use illusions on me?
Though not knowing how Zhang Mu did it, seeing his corpse puppet legion attacking the air until just now, Grave Blood felt a burning sensation on his face.
He hadn’t felt angry for a long time.
He is very mad.
“Have we been discovered?”
As Zhang Mu, who was walking underground, felt a chill down his spine, a cold gaze locked onto his position.
He couldn’t believe he was noticed so quickly!
Zhang Mu thought the reason was the difference between the two of them, but in reality, he didn’t think broadly enough and his illusion technique didn’t handle things delicately enough.
The illusion just now deceived the Ginseng King, deceived the Grave Blood enveloped in it, and even the King of Warhorses right beside Zhang Mu didn’t immediately notice Zhang Mu’s specific actions.
Thud!
A spiritual wave materialized and caught up with Blood Lotus at ten times its speed, the force so strong that it directly blasted Zhang Mu and others imprisoned by the blood vines out from the underground!
