The Portal of Wonderland - Chapter 220

Chapter 220

Shi Mu was startled . His stature flashed, and shifted to a side .

‘Bang!’

The place where he stood a moment ago had been struck . A huge pit had blown-up in the ground . Several crumbs of stones fluttered in the air by its impact .

Then, the green-colored shadow of a man flashed over Shi Mu’s head, and landed in front of him . Several spider’s-web-like cracks appeared on the ground as the shadow landed . Layers of dust flew in the air at the same time .

Shi Mu stopped; his complexion had changed .

Zha Gu’s silhouette appeared as the dust settled down .

However, Zha Gu’s appearance had changed . Green-colored snake-scales had emerged over his body . And, each of them was as big as a human-palm . Moreover, intermittent bursts of green luminescence could be seen shrouding his entire body . It seemed as if he was clad in a suit of green armor .

The green snake-scales were sparkling under the sunlight . They were emitting bursts of dazzling rays of light . It seemed as if they were extremely formidable .

Zha Gu had apparently resorted to the beast-transformation mode in order to transform his body . The aura around his body had sharply escalated; so much so that it’s oppressive pressure felt like a mighty tide . Moreover, green rays of light were flowing on the surface of the green whip that he held in his hand . A few magic characters were also curling around its surface – as if a snake was swaying nimbly from side-to-side .

Shi Mu’s pupils shrank . He subconsciously clenched the extended black blade in his hand firmly .

Zha Gu’s eyes looked as if they were smeared with a cold and gloomy look – like ice . He swept his cold eyes around a few times . Then, his gaze stopped at Shi Mu .

"I admit that I underestimated you . Anyways, the warm-up time is over now . "

Zha Gu’s lips cracked into a fiendish grin . He then took a few large strides, and walked towards Shi Mu . The long green whip in his hand was emitting an even brighter radiance than before .

He hadn’t intended to display his dark-green sea snake form – an Earth-ranked beast transformation – to deal with a Xian Tian warrior of the base level . After all, it required an enormous consumption of spirit power to maintain this state .

But, he eventually ended-up relying on the power of the green scales in order to protect his body . He had done this because it wouldn’t be easy to hurt Shi Mu if Yan Luo would try to mount a sneak attack on him once again .

Shi Mu’s hand flashed, and gently patted his own body at a lightning-fast speed . A golden light flashed, and his entire body was enveloped in a layer of golden light . After that, his hands extended, and divided the extended black blade into two parts – a blade and a short stick .

"Boy, be prepared to die!"

Zha Gu thundered loudly . The green whip in his hand started to exude even brighter rays of light . Then, the whip’s body began to swell-up in a crazy manner . It soon became as thick as a bucket . It was then shot out toward Shi Mu .

A several-feet-long whip-shadow appeared . It then transformed into a group of fuzzy green clouds with a howling-wind-like sound . It blotted out the sky as it stormed towards Shi Mu in order to trap him inside it .

Shi Mu knew that this attack was impossible to evade . However, his face didn’t reveal a petrified look .

Instead, his black blade and short stick emanated dazzling rays of light as he infused his magic power into his arms . Then, they transformed into a vast-stretched red blade shadow and a mountain-like green stick shadow .

The blade technique that he had displayed was the ‘Thirteen Series of Gale Force Blade Art’, and the stick technique was called ‘The Art of Seven Killer-Sticks’ .

The overlapping layers of red blade light were surging-up in a violent manner – like the howling wind and billowing clouds . Moreover, the imposing aura of the mountain-like seven layers of the stick shadows seemed even more appalling than before . Both of them seemed to be prepared to receive the group of fuzzy blue clouds .

‘Boom!’ a loud sound was heard . Then, the fuzzy blue clouds submerged in the vast blade light and stick shadows .

Shi Mu felt that a wisp of irresistible mighty force had rushed towards him . He was alarmed . He quickly held the black blade and the short stick in front of his body in an intersecting position . He was now prepared to receive the strike .

‘Bang!’ a series of loud sounds rang out in the air .

The blade and the stick were shaken-up by the impact of this collision . They were sent flying from Shi Mu’s hands . Moreover, the tricolor lights – red, black and golden – were gleaming on the surface of Shi Mu’s body . They also trembled in a disorderly manner . Then, they were routed and dispersed almost at the same time .

Moreover, most of the scales on his body had shattered into pieces . Blood was gurgling out from all over his body . A few cracking sounds were heard from the bones of his entire body . His feet sank into the ground .

Zha Gu was dumbfounded at first . But then, he cracked into an evil grin . His green whip rolled out like a nimble python once again . It wrapped around Shi Mu’s body with a lightning speed . After that, Zha Gu raised his arm, and pulled his whip backwards . The whip rolled backwards while dragging Shi Mu’s body along the way .

Then, a ray of red light sparked on his left hand as a dagger appeared in it . He then pointed the tip of the dagger at Shi Mu’s throat .

Then, something strange happened…

"Go!"

A cold light streaked across Shi Mu’s eyes . Then, a green ray of light flashed on his left hand . The ground under Zha Gu’s feet cracked the next moment . After that, dozens of thick green vines broke out from the cracked ground, and wound around Zha Gu’s feet .

A red-colored paper charm fled from his right hand at the same time . It transformed into a fire spear with raging flames . The fiery spear dashed towards Zha Gu in a violent manner while blotting out the entire sky .

Shi Mu threw out almost all the Fire Spear Magic Charms that he had carried within a fraction of a second .

More than twenty middle-level fire-attributes magic charms were fired towards his enemy . All of them had been drawn on animal skins . Even an Earth-ranked powerhouse wouldn’t dare to underestimate them .

Zha Gu was alarmed and enraged at the same time . But then, he smiled contemptuously . He didn’t pay attention to the vine canes that had fastened his feet firmly . Suddenly, the knife in his left hand gleamed with a magnificent silver light . Then, it transformed into a dozen or more knife shadows . They then started to strike the twenty fiery spears .

The silver and the red lights intertwined with each other, and started to rupture . The explosion set-off multiple hot air-waves . They began to ripple all around . Suddenly, the entire area was engulfed by scorching air-waves – to the extent that it seemed to have completely transformed into a bright-red sea of fire .

A ray of black light darted out from the sea of fire . It was a fist-sized black iron ball that had arrived speedily while producing an ear-piercing sound .

Zha Gu swayed the knife in his left hand . He wanted to strike this iron ball, and send it flying .

A loud metal clanging sound rang out .

Zha Gu’s complexion changed as he felt an unfathomable force welling-up through his knife .

He didn’t have to worry about this force owing to his strength . But, his left arm was in an injured state as it had been stabbed by Yan Luo . It hadn’t retained its full strength as yet . Zha Gu struck the iron ball, and shook it away . However, an enormous force invaded his body by passing through his knife .

He would’ve seized this opportunity, and drawn a few steps backwards if there hadn’t been anything to obstruct him . But, he couldn’t dodge this force as his body was tied-up by the vines . His body received a burst of a severe jolt as a result . Even the whip in his right hand flashed . Then, its binding force was reduced by a great margin .

Shi Mu was exhilarated . He took advantage of this opportunity, and pulled back like a fish . Then, he scuttled out of the fetter of the green whip .

But, his internal injuries were badly affected, and he fell to the ground . His face contorted in agony . But, he didn’t dare to stay there even for a fleeting moment . He swallowed his pain . He then turned around, and fled away into the distance .

He had barely rushed for a short distance when an earth-shaking roar resounded behind him .

"Boy, you're screwed!"

Suddenly, the green radiance on Zha Gu’s body grew even brighter than before . Then, the green vines began to explode . Zha Gu sprang forward, and chased after Shi Mu in a crazy manner . He raised the whip in his hand at the same time .

Suddenly, a mass of black smoke flashed behind Zha Gu’s body . It was followed by Yan Luo’s silhouette that appeared out of thin air like a ghost .

Its entire body was shrouded in a white flame; especially its right arm which was covered in a layer of blazing white flame . Its arm was sparkling amid those blazing flames, and was exuding dazzling rays of light .

Then, a ray of white light flashed in the void .

Yan Luo’s right hand had curled into a fist, and pounded towards Zha Gu’s back like a bolt of lightning .

Zha Gu felt that a terrifying cold and gloomy aura was about to attack him . His heart quivered with fear . He was about to move aside .

But, Yan Luo opened its mouth, and a blue soul-flame flew out from inside it . It then transformed into an arrow of light, and submerged into Zha Gu’s head like lightning .

Zha Gu’s body turned stiff . The green light shield protecting his body trembled in a violent manner at first . Then, it dissipated .

Yan Luo’s right fist transformed into a claw . It flashed and pierced Zha Gu’s heart through his back . Zha Gu’s green scales melted away like snow as it bumped into the white flames that covered Yan Luo’s palm; they simply couldn’t resist the flames .

A ‘puff’ sound was heard as Yan Luo’s arm penetrated deeply into his left chest, and grabbed his bright-red heart .

Yan Luo’s soul-flames flickered as its palm exerted strength and crushed his heart into pieces .

Zha Gu lowered his head, and looked at the bone-hand that had penetrated through his body from behind . Then, he turned his head, and looked towards Yan Luo .

Yan Luo pulled its arm back .

A spurt of blood gushed out from Zha Gu’s mouth . He then collapsed to the ground . Even the aura around his body had weakened by now .

Zha Gu was an Earth-ranked powerhouse . However, there was no possibility of his survival since his heart had been crushed .

"Yan Luo!"

Shi Mu rushed back as he saw this situation . He gazed at Yan Luo with an unbelievable look on his face .

Zha Gu had been conveniently defeated by Yan Luo even though he was an Earth-ranked warrior . This incident was shocking-enough to blow-up Shi Mu’s mind .

The white flame dissipated from Yan Luo’s body . But, the soul-flames in its eyes swayed, and became dim . Yan Luo’s body staggered at the same time, and it partly knelt on the ground .

Shi Mu’s complexion changed . His stature flashed, and he leapt to Yan Luo’s side .

"Shi Mu, be careful!" the frightened voice of the parrot Cai resounded in Shi Mu’s mind .

"Let's die together!"

Zha Gu lay on the ground motionless . But then, he looked-up, and revealed a fiendish smile . After that, his chest, back, and neck started to exude green, red and yellow rays of light . Those three lights separated from his body, and took the form of three shadows of beast souls .

One of these beast souls was a snake as big as a garret . Its entire body was covered with a layer of green scales . The second one was a twenty-or-thirty-feet-long red-colored fire snake . It had a pair of wings on its back . The third one was the smallest snake among all three . It was barely one-foot-long . It was a yellow-colored snake with no eyes .

The three snake shadows flashed as they pounced towards Shi Mu .

There was only a distance of ten feet between Shi Mu and Zha Gu . Therefore, the shadows of the three beast souls arrived in front of him in a flash .

Suddenly, an invisible suction force was issued by Yan Luo . The smallest yellow snake among the three beast souls trembled . Then, it was pulled back by the strength of the suction force .

Yan Luo’s soul-flames flashed as it swallowed the smallest yellow snake’s soul .

However, another two beast souls advanced towards Shi Mu in order to submerge into his body .

Yan Lou’s soul-flames turned a lot brighter and exuberant after it had swallowed a beast’s soul . Suddenly, its arms flashed like a white shadow, and grabbed the top of Zha Gu’s head .

‘Ping!’

Zha Gu's head burst open like a watermelon . Then, a mass of green light flew out from inside it, and fled into the distance . It was Zha Gu's spirit .

The green light seemed to be contaminated with a little blue flame . It was the soul flame that Yan Luo had shot earlier .

Yan Luo opened its mouth, and issued a suction force once again . The group of green lights had barely covered a distance of ten feet by this time . Suddenly, it stopped moving, and was forced to fly backwards .

The mass of green light was struggling to break the shackles . It continued to take various shapes so as to get rid of the suction force . But, all its efforts went into vain .

‘Whoosh!’ the green light submerged into Yan Luo’s mouth along with the blue flame with a whistling sound .

After that, indistinct pitiful shrieks began to spread from Yan Luo’s body . However, they were soon silenced .

The soul-flames in Yan Luo’s eyes gleamed since it had devoured two spirits in succession . But, Shi Mu’s body looked stiff . In fact, it seemed as if he had fallen into a coma . His body then fell down like a piece of wood .

Yan Luo put out its hand in order to hold Shi Mu . It hesitated for a moment . Then, it slowly placed his body on the ground .

Cai also swooped down rapidly . It then received its wings, and fell beside Shi Mu as it was ten feet away from the ground .

"Shi Tou, what happened to him?"

Cai shot a glance at Yan Luo as it said .

But, Yan Luo didn’t pay attention to Cai’s words . It looked at Shi Mu, and the soul-flames in its eyes flickered .

*** ***

Shi Mu felt as if a curtain of darkness had spread before his eyes . He then sank into an endless darkness, and found himself in a world of chaos .

Everything was hazy and indistinct around him . The mist was fluttering everywhere in the vicinity .

Shi Mu was no longer in a human form now . He had transformed into a group of white lights . A virtual shadow of a black python also stood beside him . It had three heads . It was the shadow of the three-headed ominous python .
