The Portal of Wonderland - Chapter 243

Chapter 243
The middle-aged security guard opened his mouth, and it seemed as if he wanted to scream aloud . But, the bone-spear that had pierced his body was too thick . So, it had curbed most of his life force, and had rendered him unable to make any sound .




Moreover, it wasn’t only one bone-spear that was shot . Five other unfortunate guards were also similarly nailed either to the ground or the walls . In fact, some people’s bodies had been pierced by more than one bone-spear . And, they had stopped breathing on the spot as a result .
The middle-aged security guard gathered his barely remaining trace of strength, and raised his head to see . He hadn’t even noticed when a merchant-dressed obese man had appeared not far in the front; he had a short and stout stature . He was slowly walking in the direction of the Sparkling Gem Pavilion’s East entrance .
This obese man’s body was emitting bursts of grey Qi . Moreover, six luminous dots could be seen behind his head; they were faintly shining .
"A Six-Star Magician!"
Shi Mu wasn’t far from the street at the moment . He swept his vision over this short and stout man, and his pupils couldn’t help but shrink .
This person was one of the fellow young disciples in Liu An’s group . Shi Mu hadn’t expected that this man would be a Star-grade Magician in reality . And on top of that, he had also attained the power of Six-Stars .
Ximen Xue had told him about some of the things related to the Star-grade Magicians when they were strolling in the rain .
A magician could easily trigger a star-like shadow right before stepping into the battle once they had succeeded in building a Star Palace . In addition, they could also augment the power of their magic arts with the help of this shadow’s power .
An increase in the number of star-like shadows was directly proportionate to the activation of the Star Palace’s stars . A magician could attain seven stars at the most . Such magicians were called the Seven-Star Magicians .
The fact was that a magician would trigger the star-like shadow because each star-like shadow could enhance the strength of their magic arts by nearly thirty percent at that time . Furthermore, the might of the magic arts could be enhanced by nearly three times if all seven stars were triggered at the same time . However, this would demand a bountiful consumption of the magician’s magic power in return .
A Star-grade magician could also choose to display "Star explosion" and detonate the star-like virtual shadow at a crucial moment . In fact, a short-time operation of these star-like shadows could substantially enhance the might of one’s magic arts . And, this would indirectly reduce his cost of cultivation .
"Who these people are!"
The surrounding security guards and Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult’s disciples were in a profound shock . However, they drew their weapons, and exhibited a fighting-stance .
The short and stout man sneered and extended his hand from the black cloak . There was a bone-white wand-like object in his hand .
He waved the wand, and the six luminous stars behind his head flashed . Then, a few huge magic characters appeared on the ground .
The magic characters emitted a strange and vast-stretched green fog . Then, the fog completely shrouded the space in the vicinity of the entrance .




The security guards and Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult’s disciples’ complexion became pale . They rushed toward the black-robed obese man . But, they had barely run a few steps, and a few green streaks started to appear on everyone's faces and skin . It seemed like their bodies were covered with lead . Even their actions had become very sluggish .
The security guards and Immortal Cult’s disciples couldn’t reach the obese man . They suddenly fell to the ground in a disorderly manner, and began to throw-up foam from their mouth . Even their bodies started to twitch in a crazy manner .
The young bodyguard from before had also collapsed to the ground . He was dumbfounded to see that the obese man was continually moving towards them . His eyes were smeared with an unbelievable look; it seemed as if he couldn’t believe that someone had dared to attack the Sparkling Gem Pavilion in broad-daylight .
The short and stout man read an incantation while walking towards them . Then, he raised his hand, and a dozen or more groups of millstone-sized red fireballs emerged out of thin air . Then, they fired into the people who lay on the ground like meteors .
Bang!
A string of huge explosive sounds rang out in the air . The area in the vicinity of the Sparkling Gem Pavilion’s Eastern entrance had suddenly changed into a sea of fire . These fiery waves then rolled out and engulfed the guards near the entrance .
A dozen or more security guards and Immortal Cult’s disciples had been massacred within a few seconds owing to the sudden appearance of that short and stout man . But, the bustling crowd didn’t notice the changes that had taken place until the sound of explosion reached their ears .
A hubbub of screams and shouting rang out in the air . Then, everyone began to move away from the Sparkling Gem Pavilion and dispersed in all directions . This sparked a chaotic situation for a short while .
But, the short and stout man had seemingly not heard these clamorous voices . His body flew over the sea of fire in a very graceful manner . Then, he went inside the Sparkling Gem Pavilion .
Meanwhile, at the Sparkling Gem Pavilion’s Western Entrance…
A tall black-dressed man strode in the direction of the west entrance; his face was painted red .
"Stop! Who is Your Excellency?"
A Taoist swordsman of the Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult pulled out a long sword from his back with a whistling "Shua" sound . Then, he pointed it at the red-faced man and shouted .
The red-painted-faced man showed a fiendish grin . However, he didn’t pay attention to the swordsman’s action . Then, a red light suddenly spurted out on his body .
The sturdy body of the red-faced man seemingly inflated in the red light . It began to swell-up at a lightning speed; so much so that his black-clothes were torn to shreds . His body became twenty-thirty-feet tall in an instant . Even the original silverish-red color of his face turned ashen in color . And, two long fangs protruded from his mouth… like those of a wild beast!
A layer of coarse and stiff black hair also sprouted over this man’s body . In addition, eagle-like sharp claws emerged from his five fingers .
The red-faced man had turned into a huge human-form monster in a flash! And, his whole body was curled-up in grey smoke .




"Zombie Art! He’s the Dark Moon Evil Cult’s follower!"
The surrounding guards turned pale with fright . They then promptly gathered in the same place .

"Evildoer, you are courting death!"
The Taoist priest – who carried a long sword on his back – shouted loudly, and rushed toward the red-faced man . He flicked his arm, and his shining long sword changed into a several-feet-long giant sword-light . Then, the sword-light hacked toward the red-faced zombie-man in a fierce manner .
The red-faced man continued to move forward . He didn’t even pour his glance at the Taoist swordsman .
"Bang" a muffled sound resounded!
The giant sword-light pounded on the red-faced man’s ashen-colored arm that was densely covered with a layer of coarse black hair . However, it could only leave a shallow trace . In fact, it couldn’t even scratch his skin!
The Taoist swordsman was greatly startled by this . He wanted to move aside to dodge the zombie-man .
"Bang" a loud sound was heard!
The red-faced man brandished his hand in a casual manner, and the Taoist swordsman’s body was sent flying backwards . A few deep wounds were split-open in his chest; so much so that even his bones could be seen clearly . In fact, his body had nearly been cut into several pieces .
"Bang" a loud rumbling sound rang out again!
The young Taoist swordsman knocked against the wall near the entrance . And, a large area of the wall got smeared with his blood . Then, he rolled to the ground and stopped breathing .
The red-faced man grinned in a wicked manner . Then, his huge body charged into the crowd . Afterwards, the surrounding security guards and Immortal Cult’s disciples were struck and sent flying . Ordinary sword attacks were like an itching sensation for this man whenever they fell on his body . They couldn’t cause any injuries to his body .
The security guards and Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult’s disciples had fallen in a pool of blood within a few breaths’ time .
Sparkling Gem Pavilion’s Southern Entrance…
A fierce battle between a dozen or more security guards and two huge monsters could be seen underway at the moment .




One of these two beasts was a thirty-forty-feet long rotten-corpse wolf . Its whole body was full of festering carrion . A kind of green and sticky liquid was dropping from its body from time to time . It was emitting a nasty odor that could leave anyone with a desire to puke .
The other beast was a gigantic bone-tiger . It had very sharp teeth and talons . Its body was relatively smaller than the carcass-wolf . But, it was still twenty-thirty-feet long .
These two beasts were pouncing on and biting at the surrounding people . It seemed as if a wolf had entered into the flock of sheep . Their bodies were quite huge in size . Still, their movements were exceptionally vigorous .
The security guards’ swords couldn’t cause the slightest injuries to these monsters . Instead, these weapons were easily torn to shreds by these monsters .
Consequently, the guards and the Immortal Cult’s disciples near the entrance were wiped-out in a fleeting moment . Only a pile of remnant corpses was left behind on the ground .
Then, a short silver-haired young man strode over and went inside the Sparkling Gem Pavilion . He bore a solemn expression on his face while he was walking . His whole body was curled-up in a layer of grey smoke . There were five silver-colored stars flickering behind his head . A frenzy of screams and panic-fleeing continued to ring behind him .
Sparkling Gem Pavilion’s Northern entrance…
"Bang" a muffled sound was heard . A seventy-eighty-feet-long bone-python flung its long tail . It pounded a person’s silhouette and sent him flying in the air . That silhouette’s body snapped into two sections in midair, and blood splashed out .
Several corpses could be seen scattered over the place in the surrounding . Their clothing was enough to conclude that they were either the corpses of the security guards or Immortal Cult’s disciples who had been guarding the Sparkling Gem Pavilion’s northern entrance .
Some people inside the Sparkling Gem Pavilion were trying to escape from the North exit at this moment . But, their complexion became pale and they stopped as their eyes fell on the massive bone-python outside .
Suddenly, a tall black-dressed woman walked past the bone-python and went straight into the Sparkling Gem Pavilion . Her face was covered with a veil . She held a bone-wand in her hand . Surprisingly, there were seven stars flickering behind her head in an irregular manner .
. . .

A blood-red moon-shadow suddenly appeared in midair inside the auction hall . This was that same hall on the first floor of the Sparkling Gem Pavilion where Shi Mu had been sitting a while ago . Then, the blood-red moon emitted a circle of glaring blood-light .
The air in the hall also became sticky and hard to breathe-in under the effect of the blood-light .
Many people in the hall were panic-stricken . But, there were some people who had managed to maintain their composure since they considered themselves to be stronger . For example - the participants of the Ascension to Immortality Ceremony still maintained a serene expression on the surface .
Shentu Guang was seated in the first few rows of the hall . He gazed at the blood moon, and a wisp of unspeakable aghast look floated in his eyes .
Shentu Guang had been able to establish the Qi Palace and had stepped into the Xian Tian realm when he was young . Obviously, he made such a feat with the support of his family’s resources . He was a little arrogant and mischievous, but he wasn’t a straw bag . His martial arts’ strength was considered quite formidable in the group of some influential families’ disciples . Otherwise, he wouldn’t be embraced as the leader of those people .
However, a feeling of terror and suffocation surged from the bottom of his heart at the moment .
Most of the disciples beside him – who belonged to several influential families – also turned pale with fright . Some of them had even started to tremble .
The crowd of people near the first-floor hall’s exit saw that the situation wasn’t good . So, they returned and rushed towards the four exits .
However, it wasn’t long before bursts of disturbances and screams began to erupt outside the four exits . A badly mutilated corpse was also thrown inside the four exits . It was done to spark an upheaval among the people who wanted to rush out of these exits .
. . .

The auction hall’s stage… Ouyang Lun’s face also revealed an aghast and shocked look as he saw the sudden emergence of the blood-mood shadow in midair . Ouyang Lun was the auctioneer .
He didn’t get enough time to jump into action . Suddenly, a white light flashed beneath the blood-moon, and a person’s silhouette emerged out of thin air; it was Liu An!
He looked very handsome . His red and long hair was fluttering in the air . There was a red, round and waning moon on his forehead . It was exuding bursts of blood-light . It seemed to be conforming to the blood-moon shadow in the air . It rendered people with a kind of strange and evil feeling .
Liu An wore a solemn expression on his face . He mumbled something, and his whole body was shrouded in a layer of faint-grey light as a result . Then, a shining full-moon’s shadow appeared behind his head .
After that, a wisp of frightening magic-power waves burst out of his body and swept across the entire hall like a gust of wind .
A few people were close to Liu An . And, their complexion changed very drastically when they saw this scene .
There were some weak people in the hall as well . Their eyes rolled back and they fainted on the spot .
"A Full Moon Magician!"
Ouyang Lun exclaimed in alarm . Then, a buzzing sound was heard from the surface of his body, and his whole body exuded a layer of a purple light-shield . But, the light-shield began to tremble under the impact of the formidable magic power waves - as if it was struck heavily . Ouyang Lun’s complexion turned unsightly as he saw this .
