Shikigami Methods
The Shikigami's form continued to expand, its body resembling Banner fluttering in the wind, and its head a giant demon mask.
As a large number of Demon Remnant Soul entered its body, its eyes gained some color.
It looks like a living thing.
Just then, whispers like those of Demons and Monsters came from within the Shikigami's body.
"How delicious humans are! How wonderful it would be to eat them all!"
"I like that woman; she has delicate skin and looks delicious."
"Hehehe! This body is truly amazing; it can actually fuse our powers together. Let's all attack together and kill them!"
"..."
These sounds send chills down one's spine.
At this moment, a Scythe appeared in the Shikigami's hand, making him look somewhat like an actor.
But this actor exuded Black Qi, as if he had crawled out of hell.
"Hehehe!" A sinister and terrifying voice rang out.
The Shikigami moved, instantly transforming into hundreds of figures that hovered in mid-air, surrounding Lin Mu and the others.
The Shikigami opened its mouth, and wisps of Black Qi gathered within it.
"Hahaha!"
A series of low, rumbling sounds came from behind.
All they saw were Black Qi flying out, like vengeful spirits, emitting eerie and mournful sounds as they rushed towards them.
Lin Mu and the others either leaped into the air, charged forward, or picked up their shields to form a defensive formation around themselves.
Many Black Qi brushed past Lin Mu.
Lin Mu's clothes showed signs of corrosion.
These Black Qi, formed from resentment, possess a strong corrosive power.
Lin Mu gripped a long sword, flames burning around him. He took a deep breath, gathering his Source Force in his hands.
Dragon Flame Saber Art!
The Dragon Descends Upon the World!
A surge of flames appeared as the long sword was swung, and Fire Dragon emerged from the flames, flying towards the Shikigami in mid-air.
The Fire Dragon roared, its power astonishing.
At this moment, the eyes of several Shikigami flashed with a scarlet light.
Streaks of Black Qi flew towards the location of the Fire Dragon.
They were like hellish Lesser Fiend, quickly devouring the Fire Dragon upon touching it.
The scorching temperature quickly disappeared, and the Black Qi became much denser, accompanied by strange and eerie cries.
Lin Mu's pupils contracted. The Black Qi emitted by the Shikigami was so peculiar that it could actually absorb the flame slashes.
Lin Mu refused to believe it, and the flames on his body disappeared, replaced by streaks of lightning swirling around the blade.
Berserk Strike!
Thunder-Slaying Three Blades!
With a flick of his longsword, a slash imbued with the Thunder Power rushed toward the Shikigami.
The Shikigami's eyes still gleamed with a scarlet hue.
Streaks of Black Qi blocked its path.
These Black Qi, just like before, resembled Taotie Lesser Fiend, swallowing the slashes whole.
A few streaks of lightning flashed within the Black Qi before dissipating.
The Shikigami let out a strange laugh and pounced towards Lin Mu, its figure merging into the Black Qi.
It was as if a huge cloud of Black Qi was rushing towards Lin Mu.
Lin Mu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly dodged.
However, the Black Qi was very fast, arriving in front of Lin Mu almost instantly. A Scythe appeared and a swift slash swept over him.
Clang!
Lin Mu gripped the longsword and clashed it with the Scythe. The immense force struck, causing Lin Mu's hands to go numb, and he was forced to retreat.
The other Shikigami did the same, their bodies enveloped in Black Qi, and charged towards Lin Mu at an extremely fast speed.
Whoosh whoosh!
A series of whooshing sounds rang out, and the moment they arrived in front of Lin Mu, their Scythe swung down.
Lin Mu gripped his longsword to defend himself and retreated.
Ding ding ding!
A crisp sound rang out, and sparks flew.
Lin Mu looked strained; their strength was immense, and their relentless attacks made it difficult for him to even hold his sword.
The others faced the same situation.
The Shikigami were shrouded in Black Qi and kept attacking them.
Mei Yuhao shrouded himself in shadow, wielding a long staff to continuously defend against the Shikigami's attacks.
Only when they could no longer withstand the attack did they disappear into the shadows to avoid it.
However, this method is very taxing on him and cannot be used for a long time.
Pang Ruirui stood behind An Changhao; she was a support character with limited combat abilities.
An Changhao held a large shield, and streams of Source Force surged around him, forming a defensive shield around him.
Several Shikigami hovered in front of him, their Scythe swinging continuously.
Ding ding ding!
A series of crisp sounds rang out.
Some cracks appeared on the protective shield.
An Changhao continuously activated his Source Force to repair the cracks.
However, the attack speed of the Shikigami is getting faster and faster, and the appearance of cracks far exceeds the repair speed.
It's estimated that their defenses will be broken by the Shikigami soon.
Pang Ruirui, who was crouching behind him, quickly formed hand seals, and a series of buffing Formation fell on An Changhao to help him recover his Source Force.
But this still doesn't alleviate the current predicament.
Cen Peishan was relatively more relaxed. Holding a long sword, she moved like a nimble butterfly, constantly dodging and defending against the attacks of the Shikigami.
Although the Shikigami is very powerful, she can easily deplete its power each time it strikes her sword. However, she dares not launch an attack easily when faced with the Shikigami's strange methods, so as to avoid wasting her energy.
Lin Mu knew very well that if they continued like this, they would be doomed.
While constantly dodging, he swung his long sword.
A series of crisp sounds rang out.
Seizing an opening, he quickly retreated, dodging the attacks of several Shikigami.
At that moment, a system notification sounded.
"Completing one practical exercise yields 341 times the efficiency."
Memories flooded into Lin Mu's mind.
The scenes from just now flashed through his mind.
Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly.
He seemed to have discovered something, but he wasn't quite sure.
Those Shikigami charged at him once again.
Lin Mu gripped his longsword, and streaks of lightning surged forth.
Sizzle!
A series of slashes erupted.
The Shikigami neither dodged nor evaded, letting the slashes fall on them.
The slash touched the Black Qi, as if entering the mouth of Taotie and being swallowed up, making the Black Qi around the Shikigami even more active.
Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had some vague guesses in his mind.
Another attribute conversion.
Dragon Flame Saber Art!
The Dragon Descends Upon the World!
One after another, Fire Dragon flew out and pounced on the Shikigami.
Just then, Lin Mu leaped forward and charged towards the Shikigami.
Laugh!
A Scythe appeared.
Half of the Shikigami's body emerged from the Black Qi, and its sharp Scythe unleashed several slashes.
A slight smile played on Lin Mu's lips.
His guess was right.
These Shikigami are not that difficult to deal with.
Thunder-Slaying Three Blades!
Lin Mu suddenly accelerated, his body crackling with lightning, and with an extremely exquisite footwork, he dodged the Shikigami's attack, slashing his longsword at it.
The Shikigami let out a painful scream, and a large amount of Black Qi emerged from its body.
However, this Black Qi was different from the Black Qi surrounding it.
They seemed to be Demon Remnant Soul, scattering as soon as they appeared.
Lin Mu brandished his longsword, which suddenly struck the Demon Remnant Soul, transforming it into several Divine Soul Crystal.
