The Giant Net and the Illusion Demon's Secret
Lü Dongbin knew all too well the power of the giant white net. Even a mountain peak would be shattered upon contact with it. It could be said that Lü Dongbin's attack power was terrifying.
However, this terrifying attack was easily broken by the giant net.
Lü Dongbin was deeply shocked.
However, Lü Dongbin was no fool. He was well aware of his own strength. Although his strength far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators, he was still helpless against this terrifying white giant net.
"Escape! Escaping this palace as quickly as possible is the wisest choice."
Thinking of this, Lü Dongbin immediately rushed towards the distant main hall.
However, just as Lü Dongbin flew to the entrance of the main hall, three men appeared around the hall.
The three men were all dressed in black robes, wearing ghost masks, and exuding a sinister and chilling aura; they looked like a group of murderous maniacs.
The three men immediately intercepted Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu upon their appearance.
Upon seeing this, Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu immediately brought out their treasures.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu simultaneously used their Law Artifact to smash at the three men, hitting them all and sending them flying backward, spraying blood in the air.
"Hmph! You mere Golden Core Stage ants think you can stop us? What wishful thinking! Die!"
A man wearing a ghost mask roared, stomped his feet hard on the ground, and instantly transformed into a blur, rushing towards Lü Dongbin with a fierce swing of his spear.
"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!"
Lü Dongbin snorted coldly, gripped his immortal sword in his right hand, grabbed He Xiangu with his left, and the two of them suddenly leaped up, dodging the spear. At the same time, they rushed towards the man wearing the ghost mask and slashed out with their swords.
"Boom..."
As the two swords slashed down, terrifying ripples of energy spread outwards, with concentric circles of waves rapidly expanding in all directions.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu flew out from the two immortal swords and attacked the masked man.
The masked man's expression tightened, and after a piercing scream, He Xiangu and Lü Dongbin were enveloped in a white light.
"This is..." Lü Dongbin frowned.
He Xiangu seemed to suddenly realize something. "This is Illusion Demon!"
"Illusion Demon?"
Lü Dongbin's expression changed slightly. He knew that this kind of demon was most skilled at using illusions to bewitch people. If one was not careful, one would fall into the trap of the Illusion Demon, and at best, one would suffer a Qi Deviation or even die.
He had heard of this monster before. Legend has it that someone slew it in High Antiquity times, but no one has dared to mention it in recent years because tens of thousands of years have passed since then, and those people may have long since died.
It was shocking that such a monstrous creature had appeared before him.
Illusion Demon are generally used to trap enemies, thereby rendering them unable to fight. Moreover, their attack methods are incredibly diverse; some methods can stun people, while others can freeze them instantly. Furthermore, their illusions can also divert the target's gaze, making them even more troublesome. Unless someone is specifically tasked with breaking through Illusion Demon, even cultivators would find them extremely troublesome.
He Xiangu looked at the two people enveloped by the Illusion Demon, her expression grave. "This is the Illusion Demon's illusion! This Illusion Demon is far more powerful than ordinary Illusion Demon; it has already gained Divine Sense and awareness. Such a demon is extremely difficult to deal with. I think you should know what to do."
Lü Dongbin nodded. "Don't worry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of sword light and rushed towards the Illusion Demon.
He Xiangu followed suit.
Lü Dongbin transformed into a sword light and charged forward, He Xiangu also transformed into a sword light and followed him.
The two moved with incredible speed, rushing into the illusionary realm of the Illusion Demon in the blink of an eye. The Illusion Demon then revealed its true form before them.
At this moment, Lü Dongbin was engaged in a fierce battle with the Illusion Demon, and He Xiangu followed closely behind, fighting with the Illusion Demon as well.
Both of them were at the Golden Core Stage of cultivation. Although He Xiangu's Law Treasure was a sword, its power was still extremely strong.
Over the years, she has been diligently practicing her Law Treasure and has also mastered many advanced Cultivation Method. Under her Method Formula, her Swordsmanship has become increasingly formidable.
He Xiangu brandished her long sword, her Sword Qi crisscrossing and sword flowers fluttering. Wherever she passed, everything around her was shattered and turned into dust.
However, her opponent was no pushover either. A pair of giant palms slammed towards her body, He Xiangu immediately pulled back to avoid the palm strike.
However, this Illusion Demon's illusion magic was indeed very powerful. His palms became as hard as steel, and when He Xiangu's sword struck the back of his hand, it left several deep wounds. At this moment, the Illusion Demon suddenly kicked her in the chest with one of his legs.
He Xiangu quickly dodged, Illusion Demon's foot slammed into the wall beside her, causing it to explode with a loud bang and scatter into countless fragments.
Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu finally saw the appearance of the Illusion Demon clearly.
"Ugh~ So ugly!?" Lü Dongbin couldn't help but complain.
"You... you..." He Xiangu trembled with anger.
This Illusion Demon was indeed very ugly, but he was very powerful, and his illusion techniques were extremely effective. Even cultivators in the Late Golden Core Stage would be affected by his illusions, which is why He Xiangu suffered a loss. However, Lü Dongbin's criticism made her feel very ashamed.
The Illusion Demon seemed to be enraged by Lü Dongbin's sarcasm, and it spat out a cloud of white mist, which transformed into a white arrow that shot towards Lü Dongbin.
Lü Dongbin grabbed the white arrow and threw it violently to the ground.
With a deafening roar, the white arrow exploded on the ground, turning into a shower of blood and flesh.
"This thing is indeed very powerful, but it's far from being able to do anything to me!" Lü Dongbin sneered, his aura suddenly surging, and a powerful aura pressed down on the Illusion Demon, causing his body to tremble violently and a painful expression to appear on his face.
He Xiangu was also taken aback. She hadn't expected Lü Dongbin to be so powerful. It seemed that Lü Dongbin was right; this Illusion Demon really couldn't do anything to them.
"The Illusion Demon's illusion magic is very strong; let's work together to subdue it!"
Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu shouted in unison, each wielding a long sword. A red light and a white radiance shot into the sky, converging in mid-air to transform into two giant dragons that charged toward the Illusion Demon.
"Roar!"
