Chapter 017: The Blue Mirror
As the thin mist spread, the situation immediately reversed—those four masters, who had initially been at a disadvantage under Moses’ pressure, now launched fierce attacks! Their assaults on Moses became increasingly aggressive, putting him in great danger.
The master from the Snake Kingdom kept spewing black mist. Moses surely knew it could be absorbed into his body, but surrounded by the four masters, he couldn’t escape and had no choice but to hold his breath, staying with them.
“Du Fan, that black mist… it’s probably poisonous, right?” Naixiu said worriedly, watching Moses covered in the mist.
“What if it is? So what?” Du Fan laughed at Naixiu’s concern. “Naixiu, remember—he’s been bathed in the Spring of Life and wears the Life Gem Necklace. Moses isn’t afraid of poison at all.”
“Yes, but I’m still a bit worried,” Naixiu replied after hearing Du Fan’s words.
“Haha, women are just like that!” Du Fan stood on the watchtower, laughing heartily.
Just as Du Fan said, the master from the Snake Kingdom kept releasing black mist, while Moses tightly held his breath. Even though he was surrounded by the mist, the four masters attacking him didn’t seem affected at all, and their attacks grew more impatient.
The master from the Snake Kingdom was even more frustrated. Under normal circumstances, even if Moses were a domain powerhouse, he should have fallen long ago under such black mist. But upon closer inspection, the mist seemed to have no effect on Moses at all!
Amidst the four attackers’ impatience, Moses finally seized an opportunity. He swung a fierce strike at the master from the Blue Bird Kingdom before him. Seeing Moses’ fierce attack, the master blocked with his twin short swords and quickly moved to the right, avoiding the strike before Moses could fully unleash his power.
According to their plan, it should have been the master from the Snake Kingdom to step in for defense. But at that moment, he was still struggling because Moses hadn’t been affected by his Wind-Chasing Mist yet. Seizing this gap, Moses dashed away in an instant.
Seeing that they had escaped the black mist, those wind mastery experts grew even more conflicted. The expert from the Snake Kingdom led the charge with a roar and quickly attacked Moses again. Moses, who had just gotten out of the black mist, had just opened his mouth to take in a breath of air when he was surrounded by those experts once more.
In this way, Moses seized the opportunity to escape the black mist, only for those four experts to intensify their attack right away. After repeating this several times, Moses grew annoyed. “Hey, you guy who keeps spewing mist from your mouth!” he said to the expert from the Snake Kingdom.
Unbeknownst to him, as soon as Moses spoke, the expert from the Snake Kingdom spat out a mouthful of black mist, which landed directly in Moses’s open mouth. Immediately, a faint foul smell rushed into Moses’s throat!
“Damn it!” was Moses’s first reaction.
Then, in a mix of shock and anger, Moses unleashed a fierce fighting spirit, pushing back the four experts. He leaped backward, and energy began to circulate within his body.
Soon, Moses realized that aside from the foul smell, he felt no discomfort at all. Other than a slight fatigue from holding his breath, he didn’t experience any other issues.
“I say, you guy who spews black mist—your mist does nothing to me! And you keep spewing it nonstop. Aren’t you tired?” With no discomfort in his body, Moses immediately started cursing the expert from the Snake Kingdom.
“How about it, Naixiu? I told you Brother Moses is fine, right?” Seeing that Moses had inhaled so much mist without any problems, Du Fan immediately asked Naixiu.
“Mm,” Naixiu replied happily, seeing that Moses indeed wasn’t afraid of the black mist.
However, the expert from the Snake Kingdom was extremely frustrated. “What kind of skill does this guy have? He’s immune to all poisons! Immune to poisons is one thing, but he’s also immune to magic!” the expert thought bitterly.
The innate skill of the Dark Wind Snake, Wind-Chasing Mist, contained not only strong poisons but also several dark magic spells such as Exhaustion and Weakening. Those caught in Wind-Chasing Mist would suffer from severe poison effects along with several magical curses. These spells, which weakened a person’s strength and increased fatigue, allowed the poison to spread more rapidly within the victim!
Because some highly skilled experts, even when poisoned severely, can rely on their formidable cultivation to hold on. Then they find a quiet place to slowly detoxify themselves.
As one of the innate skills of a sacred-class magical beast, the Wind-Chasing Mist of the Dark Wind Snake is certainly not that simple.
“Damn it! What can you do?” Seeing Moses pointing at him and cursing, the expert from the Snake Kingdom also became furious.
While the other three top experts rushed at Moses together, this expert from the Snake Kingdom simply stood there and retorted to Moses.
At first, it took all four top experts to barely hold off Moses; how could three of them possibly do so now?
Moses swiftly swung his War Sword at the three, knocking their weapons aside. Seizing the opportunity, he rushed at the expert from the Snake Kingdom who was still arguing with him and brought down a fierce sword strike!
The expert from the Snake Kingdom, who had just spoken, suddenly realized Moses was aiming a sword at his head. He quickly raised his spear, trying to withstand Moses’ powerful strike head-on.
There was no other choice—faced with such a devastating attack, the expert had no better option than to resist directly.
Moses’ deliberately powerful sword strike was beyond the expert’s ability to withstand. With immense force and pressure, it sent the expert kneeling to the ground! His spear, held high, was also pressed tightly against his shoulder!
Exhausted and sensing the three other experts approaching, Moses pressed down hard on his War Sword and pulled it sideways. The sharp blade scraped across the expert’s shoulder, tearing through his clothes and splitting the scales on his shoulder!
With a push off the ground, Moses leaped over the approaching experts, performed a somersault in mid-air, and quickly faced the four top experts again.
The expert’s shoulder, where the scales had been torn open, was covered in blood. The exposed red flesh resembled a gaping mouth, which was terrifying!
Seeing the expert from the Snake Kingdom, the other three immediately stood in front of him, temporarily protecting the expert from the Snake Kingdom!
“Hmph.” The expert from the Snake Kingdom took out a bottle of medicinal powder and poured some onto his wound. As soon as the powder touched the wound, he let out a pained grunt.
It seemed that the healing powder was extremely irritating! Though its potency was strong, its effect was remarkable! As soon as the powder was applied to the expert’s shoulder wound, it began to heal immediately!
Soon, aside from a faint red scar, no other signs of injury were visible.
“Use your ultimate moves!” the expert from the Snake Kingdom said darkly after his wound healed.
“Okay!” the other three experts replied promptly.
In that instant, the four of them took positions in four directions, forming a very strange formation. Once the formation was set up, four intense streams of green wind energy converged together, quickly forming a round mirror-like structure about 1.5 meters in diameter.
As soon as this mirror appeared, streams of cyan light shot out from it, constantly firing toward Moses.
Seeing those cyan beams, Moses quickly retracted his gravity space field and concentrated all his energy to create a shield in front of him.
The cyan beams struck the energy shield like meteorites, hitting it with force akin to impacts against the atmosphere! Moses’s energy shield quickly became unstable under such attacks.
Yet the green beams kept coming endlessly, continuously striking Moses!
Those green beams were the essence of wind energy! With unimaginable speed, Moses didn’t choose to dodge at first, and now it was almost impossible for him to evade!
Moreover, the range of those green beams was extremely wide! Eventually, the strange mirror emitted nothing but green light, like sunlight—except that this green light was entirely composed of wind energy!
When the green light hit Moses’s shield, it held up for only ten seconds before being completely shattered with a crackling sound!
Just as Moses’s energy shield was broken, the green light struck him directly! Du Fan, who was on top of the city wall, immediately felt anxious and was about to take off into the air! If someone could break Moses’s shield in such a short time and have that energy strike him directly, it was highly likely that Moses would get injured! It was definitely not something Du Fan wanted to see—his brother getting hurt right in front of him. But just as Du Fan was about to fly up, the green light shining on Moses didn’t harm him at all! It turned out that the green light could only break Moses’s energy shield; it had no effect on his body at all! In other words, that green light only worked on energy and had no effect on any other substance. Seeing that Moses wasn’t hurt, Du Fan breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as he felt relieved, strange things shot out from that giant mirror! This time, they resembled bird feathers, with their shafts shooting straight toward Moses! These feathers were made entirely of wind energy, with a faint flame on them as well! Seeing this, Du Fan immediately guessed that these feather-like objects must be related to the Blue Bird. Among the four magical beasts, aside from the Blue Bird, which possessed fire magic, no other beast had such things.
