Chapter 468: Revealing the True Form

Sure enough, as soon as Grave Blood finished speaking, the eighteen Era Merchants flashed and directly attacked the second-rank peak human evolver standing opposite, who was still in a daze!

The scene fell into chaos, Grave Blood had no intention of letting the thousands of people here leave alive, so he exposed this trick without hesitation.

Leaving might be easy, but only if he left as his Grave Blood corpse puppet.

“Where does your confidence come from?”

Zhang Mu distracted Grave Blood’s attention, he had securely transported the Blood Lotus beneath him, just waiting for an opportunity.

Grave Blood didn’t immediately answer him, looking at Zhang Mu’s face with great curiosity.

“I’m curious how your illusion technique can deceive my eyes, but the answer will be revealed soon.”

Once you become my corpse puppet, your mysterious power will also be sacrificed to me.”

Zhang Mu felt nervous, thinking his small actions had been discovered, but Grave Blood didn’t react further and just replied.

“Nonsense!”

This time, Grave Blood didn’t speak. Instead, he smiled strangely, looking towards two other battlefields that were fiercer than the one they were in.

Following his gaze, Zhang Mu realized the seriousness of the situation.

Although their fight with Grave Blood was extremely dangerous with a slight misstep, at least they were currently deadlocked.

However, the eighteen Era Merchants had already begun to attack the second-rank peak experts on Zhang Mu’s side.

There’s a gap between second-rank peaks.

These Era Merchants were selected by the Era Store, making them outstanding among human evolvers. They had strong awakened abilities, and when turned into corpse puppets by Grave Blood, their combat power was not to be underestimated!

However, the strength of evolvers in Ordos City varies, and the Era Merchants’ sudden attack caught them off guard, quickly putting humans at a disadvantage despite the chaotic situation.

Even when outnumbered in battle, they were still overwhelmed.

Although Hachikuju was getting better at breaking through the Ginseng King’s mental space, it still took time to truly win, making their own actions the most crucial point.

Originally, Zhang Mu planned to hold off Grave Blood while allowing Hachikuju or the evolver team to gain an advantage first, then help himself. But with the appearance of Grave Blood’s eighteen Era Merchants, he had to take action first if he wanted to win.

Blood Lotus had silently positioned itself directly below Grave Blood, ready with the main vine bent slightly, awaiting Zhang Mu’s command.

We must act now!

With a cold look in his eyes, Zhang Mu knew this was the most critical moment. He increased the intensity of his illusion technique to the maximum, using Sharira in his mind as the core to conceal Blood Lotus’s movements.

There were casualties in the evolver team, a scream catching Grave Blood’s attention. He was quite satisfied with his top-notch corpse puppet, as it had taken out a second-rank peak human evolver in such a short time.

This is the moment!

Seizing this opportune moment, Zhang Mu directed Blood Lotus to strike. At the same time, his illusion technique was at its fullest: ordinary people couldn’t see that Blood Lotus had already sprung from the ground, heading straight for Grave Blood’s brain.

He had no time to wait for Grave Blood to reveal a bigger loophole. If delayed further, the second-rank evolvers would quickly increase casualties like a snowball, leading to total annihilation!

Under Zhang Mu’s illusion control, it wasn’t until Blood Lotus appeared behind Grave Blood that he realized the sense of crisis.

What Zhang Mu saw – Grave Blood’s lack of awareness was genuine, not feigned, causing him to feel excited instantly!

Only just realized? It seems that Sharira is quite useful. Recognizing it now, a bit late!

Just as Grave Blood felt a sense of unease due to the inexplicable crisis, he looked at the unconcerned expression of Zhang Mu, immediately sensing a warning!

Could it be that this Zhang Mu is using illusions?

However, Grave Blood couldn’t believe that he had fallen into Zhang Mu’s illusion once again.

It could have been luck or lack of preparedness the first time, but the second time, things weren’t so simple.

As he pondered this, the sturdy vines of Blood Lotus had already smashed down on Grave Blood’s head!

Boom!

The sound of Blood Lotus shattering the ground echoed, but both of them were stunned at the same time.

Grave Blood was puzzled by what Zhang Mu’s awakening ability really was. His enormous mental power could have been hidden, if not for that natural reaction to danger. Otherwise, he might not have been aware at all.

The expression on Zhang Mu’s face was very exaggerated. He had thought that Blood Lotus would be blocked by a defense similar to his mental shield, or that it would be detected and avoided.

However, he never imagined that the target hit by his Blood Lotus would turn out to be an illusion!

Blood Lotus pierced straight through the body of Grave Blood in front of him, shattering the ground in front of him.

According to the feedback from Blood Lotus, it didn’t even touch anything. Even the annihilation power at the tip of the vine couldn’t be used because there was no material presence.

There was only one possibility.

The Grave Blood in front of Zhang Mu’s eyes was actually just an illusion!

But the power of the third-rank was real, and the aura was impeccable. This Grave Blood turned out to be just an illusion, not its real form. If that’s the case, how strong must its real form be.

“I didn’t expect your illusion skills to be this advanced, must be related to absorbing that spiritual treasure.”

I once opened an Era Store for exchangeable items, the crystal wasn’t inside, it made me curious.”

Faced with the unchanged aura of the Grave Blood, Zhang Mu’s confidence faltered a bit, but he maintained a calm exterior, quickly pondering a solution.

“I didn’t expect you to have this trick up your sleeve, a third-rank illusion power, impressive.”

I thought you were too cautious to engage in a real battle with me, let your real form come out, let me see it.”

He had no choice, if this Grave Blood in front of him was just an illusion, then his real form must be incredibly powerful, possibly even at the peak of the third rank or even the fourth rank.

With this power, Zhang Mu couldn’t possibly match.

So he was testing the true strength of Grave Blood, if it turned out to be true, he would be left with only one last resort, that he wasn’t even sure would work.

Promise to make a contract with the King of Warhorses!

Even though sharing memories carries great risks, and the current King of Warhorses may not necessarily agree, after all, a good horse doesn’t usually go back on its decision, but this legendary creature is Zhang Mu’s last option to try.

Upon hearing Zhang Mu’s probing, the sinister smile on Grave Blood’s face intensified, and the blood lines on his face seemed to be about to fully awaken.

“I didn’t expect you to know me well.”

But, who told you that an illusion cannot be my true self?”
