Chapter 557 Robbery
Chapter 557 Robbery
At the same time, with the combined attack from the Mirage Lord and a group of top martial arts masters, everyone could sense that the power of the masters trapped inside the secret place was clearly beginning to weaken.
"continue!"
The voice of the Mirage Lord rang out, and the five-colored hazy river that fell from between his five fingers was like a surging tide that pierced through the void and crashed against the entrance of the secret place. The terrifying impact made the whole earth tremble!
The Jiang family patriarch, who was in the secret place, concealed himself and came to the vicinity of the entrance to the secret place. He continuously poured a large amount of martial arts true energy into the jade box in his hand.
The seemingly ordinary jade box emitted a soft glow, and tiny, emerald-green runes, the size of ants, emerged from it, flowing upstream along the source of martial arts energy, and then attaching themselves to the hands, arms, and shoulders of the Jiang family patriarch…
In just a few breaths, half of the Jiang family patriarch's body was covered with dense, emerald-green runes. These runes burrowed into his flesh, bones, and meridians, merging into his body, while the jade box he had been holding shrank by half.
At this moment, the Jiang family patriarch revealed a look of excitement and greed on his face.
The reason he was excited was that he could clearly sense his own power at this moment. With only half of his body, he possessed a terrifying power that he had never had before, which was completely different from his own martial arts cultivation!
His greed stemmed from his desire for the Martial God Realm, and the jade box before him only strengthened his resolve to obtain the secrets of the Heavenly Martial Abyss.
"Just wait a little longer, and I will take your lives one by one."
The head of the Jiang family gripped the jade box tightly, watching as emerald green runes continuously covered the other half of his body, a savage and murderous intent surfacing in his eyes.
Many of the martial arts masters in the secret place are stronger than him. Normally, when facing these people, the head of the Jiang family has to address them with the respect due to a senior.
But soon, these high-ranking martial arts masters had to beg for mercy and die at his hands. This is the absolute power of life and death that comes with absolute strength!
Meanwhile, under the attack of the Mirage Lord and a group of martial arts masters, the power sealing the secret place was about to collapse.
The group of martial arts masters who had been trapped finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had truly underestimated the Jiang family and almost suffered a humiliating defeat.
"Young lady, do you know who built this secret place of your Jiang family?"
With the crisis about to be resolved, Yi Yangzi, who was by Jiang Si's side, finally had the leisure to ask the question that had been on his mind.
This is actually a question that many martial arts masters in the surrounding area want to know. After all, the means to trap so many martial arts masters are extremely rare, and there must be some unknown secrets hidden in the Jiang family.
Faced with Yi Yangzi's question, Jiang Si remained silent, unsure whether to reveal all of her father's actions to the public.
After all, the other party raised her for so many years and doted on her; there is still affection between father and daughter.
Moreover, her most important task right now is to rescue her mother; as for what happens after that, she has not yet figured out how to handle it.
At this moment, Yi Yangzi frowned slightly when he saw that Jiang Si did not answer his question, and many martial arts masters around him were also clearly displeased.
Jiang Si is entirely to blame for their current predicament, and they will not let it go easily unless the other party gives them an explanation.
However, soon, the group of martial arts masters suddenly changed their expressions and immediately headed towards the entrance of the secret place.
"What happened? Why did the attack outside suddenly stop?"
With the combined efforts of numerous martial arts masters and the Mirage Lord outside, they were about to break the seal binding them. But just now, the Mirage Lord outside the secret realm suddenly stopped and became completely still.
Meanwhile, the Mirage Lord, who originally planned to join forces with a group of martial arts masters to break through the secret area and then kidnap Jiang Wang's sister, stopped and looked at a young figure that appeared opposite him.
"The old man knows who you are."
The owner of the Mirage Tower, still appearing with the menacing appearance of a hermit, spoke with a hunched back.
He sized up Li Musheng, narrowing his cloudy, yellowish eyes, and said:
"The eighth prince of the Great Li Dynasty has quite a reputation. Logically speaking, you might be the person with the highest martial arts talent in the world."
In response to the words of the Mirage Lord, Li Musheng casually waved his hand and said:
"Actually, I didn't originally intend to get involved in your affairs, but I have two girls who follow me, and they want to take on two talented apprentices..."
As he spoke, Li Musheng's gaze shifted to Jiang Wang, who was being held by the Mirage Lord. His meaning was clear: he wanted the genius young man Jiang Wang.
Seeing this, the ugly face of the Mirage Lord remained unchanged. He looked at Li Musheng opposite him and nodded slightly.
"The old man's sole purpose in coming to Baidi City is to take on a disciple."
"However, the old man has always heard of the Eighth Prince of Dali's famous deeds in the martial arts world, and sometimes he really wants to see for himself whether he is truly worthy of the name."
At this point, the Mirage Lord let out a hoarse laugh, and illusions began to appear in the void.
"How about this, since you also want this Jiang family boy, then come and snatch him from this old man. If you can snatch him away, that will be your skill."
The Mirage Lord's voice drifted out lightly, and his entire being transformed into a hazy light, suddenly disappearing into countless illusions that had appeared out of nowhere.
Li Musheng stood in mid-air, surrounded by a chaotic array of illusions, as if hundreds or thousands of parallel scenes were overlapping, with a hazy, indistinct mist obscuring all perception of the real world.
"This thing is useful to others, but it's completely useless to me."
Li Musheng looked up at a certain spot, his gaze seemingly unaffected, piercing directly through the barriers of countless illusions.
Then, he raised his hand and grabbed at the air, and the Mirage Lord, who was originally hidden in the void, suddenly changed his expression.
The next moment, he looked down sharply, only to find that Jiang Wang, whom he had been holding, had disappeared without a trace.
Realizing something immediately, the Mirage Lord's eyes shone with a hazy, multicolored light as he looked at Li Musheng, who was trapped in the mirage illusion.
But then, Li Musheng, carrying the unconscious Jiang Wang, ignored him completely, turning his gaze towards the entrance to the secret realm, and muttered to himself:
"Since we're already here, we should take that younger sister with us." (End of Chapter)
