The Portal of Wonderland - Chapter 564

Chapter 564: 564

Lu Qing heard Shi Mu’s words and his facial expression was somewhat unpleasant .

“Yes, I’ll take note of that . ”

He looked at Shi Mu as if he was waiting for a signal from him .

Xu Yuan turned around and said “Shi Mu, according to the rules, unless you have no lower-grade spirit waterfalls, you’re not allowed to install any more of them . So, what’s your next move?”

“Ah, I see . Then, I’ll place bets on these seven medium-grade waterfalls,” Shi Mu chuckled as he took out a piece of cyan jade and waved it over the big stone .

“Haha! Brother Shi Mu sure is generous . I won’t hesitate to win a spirit waterfall from you!”

Lu Qing’s eyes brightened and he laughed heartily . Behind him, a piercing gray light shined as a huge energy construct of a giant deer appeared .

The deer materialized in a flash and turned back into a large gray light . All around his body, a huge spiritual pressure spread wildly, mixing with a cold force .

Shi Mu’s eyes remained vigilant as the aura and qi exuded by this opponent were no weaker than Long Zhanye and the others . When in the presence of such a person, his alertness increased .

Seeing this, Shi Mu’s body glowed red as a black light flashed in his hand, unleashing the Wishful Steel Staff .

The gray light hanging around Lu Qing’s body quickly dissipated, revealing his figure . His upper body was human, but his muscles were bulging more than before . His lower body was that of a giant deer with four mighty hooves stomping on the ground . The two antlers on its head were several times longer than average and emitted a dazzling gray light .

Lu Qing was bathed in gray light as he held onto the gray spear in his hand . The surface of the spear was covered with runes, emitting a devastating chilly atmosphere .

Shi Mu’s eyes flashed as he realized the gray spear was a treasure weapon .

“Take this, Shi Mu!”

With a stomp of his feet, all four hooves moved and Lu Qing suddenly vanished from sight . Then, like a ghost, he reappeared in front of Shi Mu . The tip of his spear was flashing coldly as if to blind Shi Mu . It was aimed right at his chest .

When the cold light condensed, a fog formed that kept Shi Mu from any attempted escapes . At this point, it was impossible for Shi Mu to avoid the attack .

Shi Mu did not seem to be reacting at all . He continued standing still and was pierced by the gray spear .

“I win!”

Lu Qing’s face was ecstatic .

However, in the next moment, the joyous expression on his face faded . After being pierced by Lu Qing’s spear, Shi Mu’s body slowly dissipated . It was just another residual image he had left .

Not far behind, the real Shi Mu suddenly appeared with flaming wings on his back .

His arm moved and the Wishful Steel Staff in his hand suddenly dissolved into a black shadow . It swept across Lu Qing’s waist like a serpent .

“How is this possible?!”

Lu Qing’s expression changed drastically . He was caught off guard by the fact that his speed was no match for Shi Mu’s .

He roared in anger and turned around, still clutching the gray spear tightly . The spear fluttered in the sky, blocking the attack from the black staff shadow .

After a while, the shadow of the staff dissipated .

Shi Mu brandished his staff as his surroundings gradually turned white . With a sly smirk, his body suddenly faded and turned into two blurry afterimages, both holding a black staff .

“Art of The Tiger Paw!”

“Spirit Snake Trench!”

The two figures seemed to each be displaying a technique from the Eighteen Staves Through Heaven .

Dense white shadows of a tiger and rhinoceros emerged followed by overwhelming air pressure . It rushed from both sides toward Lu Qing .

Wherever the shadows of the staff technique passed, ripples would appear in space!

Lu Qing’s face sank . He swiftly held his spear in front of him, trying to protect himself from the attack .

The shadows of the spear turned into two gray hurricanes, electric rays like snakes emerged from within them . There was a constant sound of rolling thunder .

As the gray and white waves intertwined and entangled, there were blood-curdling screams . Countless light clusters burst in between the space as the aura spread across the sky and the surrounding temperature plummeted .

However, when Lu Qing thought that he had successfully resisted all the attacks, a cool breeze caught him off guard from behind .

“Not good…” Lu Qing’s heart skipped a beat as he cursed under his breath .

Shi Mu was a step faster than Lu Qing and suddenly appeared behind him . The staff in his hands had enlarged, and with his tremendous speed, he landed a decisive hit .

This time, Shi Mu and Lu Qing were too close, so Li Qing was unable to avoid the attack . With such worrying thoughts running through his head, he bit on his teeth and roared at the sky . In just a blink of an eye, the pair of antlers on his head suddenly shimmered as countless gray strands of silk sprang out from the middle . At the same time, a cold chill fell upon the area .

In an instant, the surface of the black staff was wrapped tightly in the gray silk .

Shi Mu retracted the flaming wings on his back and unleashed the Crimson Ape Energy Construct . Immediately, it began to spurt out a mouthful of flames .

“Primordial Inferno!!” Lu Qing was stunned and his eyes showed a hint of jealousy .

As soon as the gray silk came into contact with the Primordial Inferno, it immediately collapsed and disappeared out of sight!

Peng!

There was a sullen yet fierce sigh . Without the obstruction of the gray silk, the shadow of the black staff was able to break free like a horse that had been bound for centuries as it landed on Lu Qing’s back .

Ka-cha!

There was the sound of bones cracking!

The gray light that was surrounding Lu Qing’s body gradually faded as he was sent flying like a meteor . The force was so strong that he smashed into the ground and created a huge pit .

He could not stop himself from coughing up large pools of blood . The gray spear that he had held so tightly in his hand was flung into the distance by the force .

All of this seemed to last for quite some time, but in reality, Lu Qing was knocked down by Shi Mu within just a few breaths and attacks . He had yet to unleash his full strength .

Among the spectators, the Sun-ranked sorcerer and the huge man could not believe what had just happened in front of them .

They had heard the news of Shi Mu defeating the top three disciples on the list of century-disciples and that he had passed the challenge of the Enchanted Road as well . Nevertheless, they had yet to put much thought on a century-year-old disciple .

After all, in the Holy Land of Qinglan, the cultivation of a century-year-old disciple was nowhere near that of a millennium disciple . However, that was not the case anymore .

Xu Yuan’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise and he looked at Shi Mu with greater interest .

Lu Qing struggled to get to his feet . His right arm limply hung at his side and his body swayed .

“Do you still want to fight?”

The Crimson Ape Energy Construct retracted, but Shi Mu did not back down . He threw the Wishful Steel Staff into the air and grabbed it with his right hand as it fell . He pointed at Lu Qing, seemingly trying to challenge him once more .

Lu Qing saw the look on Shi Mu’s face and his body trembled in fear as he hurriedly said, “Shi… Brother Shi Mu is strong . I admit my defeat . ”

“Lu Qing admits his defeat . Hence, the spirit waterfall now belongs to Shi Mu!” Xu Yuan announced .

Shi Mu nodded in acknowledgment . In a blink of an eye, his figure flashed and appeared next to Xu Yuan . He put his hand out and collected the two cyan jade plates .

Lu Qing’s body flashed gray as he returned to his human form . Seeing Shi Mu taking away his cyan jade plates struck him to the core . Losing to a newcomer was a heavy blow to his ego and pride .

He only had two inferior spirit waterfalls in his name . He had thought by challenging a newcomer, he would be able to gain all the spirit waterfalls . He saw them as easy prey . He did not expect to be the one to lose and left with one spirit waterfall in his name .

Shi Mu looked over at the huge man and the Sun-ranked sorcerer as he said softly, “Well, let’s proceed to the next round . I have something important to attend to, so I have to head back as soon as the battle is done . ”

The other men’s faces instantly seethed with anger . Shi Mu’s tone and a remark made it seem as if he was oblivious to their existence .

“Hmph! Don’t think that just because you can conjure Primordial Inferno, you have the right to be arrogant . I’m betting all eight inferior spirit waterfalls that I possess . ” The Sun-ranked sorcerer snorted in disgust and anger as he tossed his cyan jade plate on the ground, right in front of Xu Yuan .

His body then began to glow with a glaring white light as he arrived in front of Shi Mu .

The white light flashing brightly behind him gradually formed a huge wheel of light, somewhat similar to the shadow of a burning sun .

A powerful force spread out and the surrounding temperature within a few dozen feet suddenly rose significantly .

Although Shi Mu had defeated Lu Qing, he had used up some of his strength in the battle .

“I happen to have eight inferior spirit waterfalls to my name as well . I will teach you what real power is!” Shi Mu too threw out his piece of cyan jade and shouted as a red light surrounded his body, forming into a pair of flaming wings .

He stretched out his arms and everything within ten feet of him suddenly turned into a sea of fire . Such strong flames were able to resist the qi fluctuations of the sorcerer .

The Sun-ranked sorcerer’s eyes twitched slightly . He was of the fire attribute and had not expected Shi Mu to be cultivating fire-attributed techniques as well . Given that, it was only natural that Shi Mu would be able to withstand any fire-attributed attacks .

He relaxed a little as he had spent a good deal of time and resources to purchase two formidable fire-attribute techniques from the Holy Land . He had been perfecting the techniques for some time, so he did not think it would be much of a problem for him .

He began to chant under his breath . With a wave of his hand, two rings with red gemstones on his fingers began to glow .

His body began to flash violently as three groups of flames rose, emitting fearsome waves of fire-attributed auras .

The flame on the far left flashed as it rapidly stretched into a huge fire serpent more than ten feet long . From the head to toe, its scales were distinct and vivid, as if it had a life of its own .

In the middle, a group of flames turned into a twenty-feet-long bird . Its entire body was covered with bright feathers . Naturally, its feathers were composed of red hot flames that radiated a cold, steel-like light . It was a Vermillion Bird .

The last group of flames swayed down and turned into a huge flaming bird . It was bigger than the previous one, and its long tail stretched out behind it . It was a phoenix .

The youth waved once again and the white light behind his head flashed . Three white rays flew out of it and beamed into the three flaming monsters .

The fire of the three-headed flame beasts grew three times its initial size . They all roared one after another as their wings fired three streams toward Shi Mu .

In an instant, the flames in the entire valley flared up . The heat was so extreme that it seemed like the entire place where they stood was boiling like a hellish pit .

Shi Mu’s eyebrows arched a little . It seemed that this young man’s capabilities surpassed Lu Qing’s . However, Shi Mu did not show any hint of surprise on his face .

He snorted and his body glowed, and a golden scale emerged . The momentum of the whole person suddenly rose .
