    Chapter 472: Dilemma
    However, at that moment, Zhang Mu and Hachikuju’s attacks also heavily hit Grave Blood, who had not yet fully controlled his body.
    Even though they realized that Grave Blood had completed the fusion, Zhang Mu and Hachikuju looked very excited.
    Because, this time they noticed that the current Grave Blood was solid, although still in the realm of illusion, all of their attacks hit him for real!
    When the axe phantom of Hachikuju struck down, the land around Grave Blood suddenly sank, creating a huge pit.
    It hit straight on Grave Blood’s head!
    Zhang Mu’s third-rank mental attack pierced through Grave Blood’s skull, vanishing instantly.
    All hits landed!
    Will it work?
    Grave Blood’s mental pressure dissipated suddenly, Red Flame Wolf Rider and most second-rank peak human evolvers under Qizilbash’s lead swiftly retreated as ordered by Hachikuju.
    In the current situation, they cannot help at all, they will only cause harm, making meaningless sacrifices.
    Only Zhang Mu, Hachikuju, Yuan Rui, and two second-rank peak mental evolvers remain on the field.
    These are the ones who can still act freely under Grave Blood’s mental pressure, everyone else has already retreated.
    As for the Obsidian Beetle, Zhang Mu originally wanted it to leave, but it insisted on staying by Yuan Rui’s side, so Zhang Mu let it be.
    After the dust settled, the remaining five people all looked towards the center of the huge pit that Hachikuju had smashed out.
    A dark figure slowly emerged, making the five people’s hearts race again.
    Can’t they cause significant damage to him like this?
    “His aura has weakened.”
    Zhang Mu, who had extremely sharp senses, was the first to notice this issue. The Grave Blood from earlier had the aura of a third-rank peak, and maybe even close to breaking through to the fourth-rank, but now he sensed it differently.
    Although still much stronger than them, he had already fallen short of reaching the threshold of the third-rank peak. It seemed that their last attacks had worked!
    “Although I’m not sure how you knew that the moment I fused was my weakest, it’s enough now. You can stay here for me, fleeing humans, I won’t let a single one of you escape!”
    Two bloodstains flowed from Grave Blood’s eye sockets, indicating that the King of Warhorses’ judgment was very accurate, and that attack at that moment had a significant effect.
    “You don’t seem to be in a good state right now. What you did earlier really shocked me. But being interrupted at the last moment must feel terrible, right?”
    Zhang Mu saw that Grave Blood was weak and tore open his still-healing scar directly.
    “You could have been closer to success following this method, but I ruined it. Are you upset?”
    Actually, even Zhang Mu was unsure about Grave Blood’s current state. He had to provoke him on purpose.
    “There’s no point getting upset. Once I deal with you and take the Sharira from your mind, I can recover all my losses.”
    I’m not that interested in promotion now; going too fast is not good for me. However, I am very interested in studying your illusions.
    As for your actions earlier, you are no longer qualified to be my corpse puppet. After dissecting your brain, I will feed it to mutated beasts.”
    Grave Blood slowly looked at Hachikuju and said, “When the time comes, I will have a third-rank human body as materials, so I won’t need you anymore. The only value you have to me is the Sharira in your mind, got it?”
    Hachikuju felt a chill from that gaze and said to Zhang Mu, “I can understand how disgusted you must have felt earlier.”
    “Since you don’t want the chance I gave you, you don’t need to join our group anymore. You have missed the opportunity.”
    As soon as Grave Blood finished speaking, he closed his bloodshot eyes and whispered something under his breath.
    Zhang Mu suddenly felt his mind shaking violently, influenced by Grave Blood’s voice.
    Yuan Rui was doing okay, but the other two mental evolvers were having splitting headaches, their minds shaken by others. It was very painful.
    On the contrary, Hachikuju didn’t feel anything wrong. Seeing the strange reactions of the people around him, he realized that Grave Blood was using his awakening ability.
    “Do you think leaving mental evolvers can withstand my attacks? It’s ridiculous!”
    It was unexpected that he actually had methods specifically targeting mental evolvers. This was something Zhang Mu hadn’t anticipated before. Those who stayed as mental evolvers were taken advantage of by Grave Blood.
    Grave Blood’s words exploded directly in the minds of Zhang Mu and the others. Zhang Mu was fine, Yuan Rui’s mental phoenix was stimulated to protect her, but the other two evolvers didn’t have such good defense.
    “Ah!”
    Boom!
    In the moment before others could react, two Evolvers of the Spiritual element let out a painful scream, and their heads directly exploded, scattering red and white substances.
    Hachikuju’s anger rose, both of these individuals were precious assets to the human race, the peak power in the capital city. Faced with Grave Blood, who was close to third-rank peak, they were no match.
    “The show hasn’t even started yet, why are your expressions changing already? The upcoming events will be even more exciting!”
    Hachikuju raised her axe and immediately engaged in a battle with Grave Blood.
    Zhang Mu instructed Blood Lotus to assist Hachikuju, but even in close combat, Grave Blood showed no weakness. With a fierce expression, he glared at Zhang Mu, blaming him for ruining his plans.
    Zhang Mu knew that Grave Blood would not hold back now. Initially, Grave Blood wanted to recruit Zhang Mu, but now he had abandoned that idea. Without Zhang Mu’s Shard in hand, to Grave Blood, Zhang Mu had no remaining value to exploit, even though he was a third-rank Evolver.
    Bang!
    While battling Hachikuju, Grave Blood still had enough strength to unleash a mental wave towards Zhang Mu.
    Like when a temple bell rings, there were ripples on the surface of the Zhang Mu’s mental shield, but he continued to use his power from the mind sea.
    The bell sound intensified the fluctuations in Zhang Mu’s mind sea.
    The mental shield did not break, but Grave Blood used it to worsen Zhang Mu’s current dangerous situation.
    If Zhang Mu kept the mental shield up, the vibrations in his mind sea would become more severe. It would be better to open the shield automatically, allowing Grave Blood’s mental attacks to hit Zhang Mu’s brain directly without any barriers.
    Seeing Grave Blood’s sinister smile, Zhang Mu had no doubt about the strength of this mental resonance. If he allowed it to continue, his head would definitely end up like the two second-rank peak mental evolvers before him, crushed into pieces!
    He wanted his life now!
    What should he do?
    Zhang Mu was caught in a dilemma.
