"Mutants of the Human world, you're supposed to be so strong, aren't you? Why are you retreating? I know, you're scared, haha! Turns out, humans are a bunch of cowardly mice!"
The Greenfin Clan member was heartbroken, mocking Xiao Mu mercilessly, hoping that Xiao Mu would be goaded into the Great Array like Xu Tong, and be killed by him.
"You're nothing but reliant on the Array, leave the Array, and I can kill you with one hand!"
Xiao Mu responded, his tone calm, and was not provoked by the invisibility of the Greenfin Clan member.
"The Array is also a technique of mine, Mutant of the Human world, if you don't admit it, try breaking into the Array."
The invisible Greenfin Clan member shouted, yelling insults at Xiao Mu, "Coward! Chicken! If you dare to come out, I can kill you in a minute."
Xiao Mu just chuckled, unaffected, "I'll find a way to break your Array! I hope when the Array breaks open, you can still be this arrogant!"
"Break the Array? Haha!"
The invisible Greenfin Clan member seemed to have heard something extremely funny, "My Thousand Swords Killing Array can't be broken at all. You want to break the Array, you have to break out, but if you do, you'll be slain by me instantly."
"The Mutant of the Human world, unless you shrink back forever, never come out, otherwise as soon as you move, you die."
"But, can you never go out? The Infinite Valley will close sooner or later. If you can't get out in time, even if you're not slain by my Great Array, you're still dead."
Xiao Mu sat down and ignored the Greenfin Clan member, thinking silently.
"Mr. Xiao, why don't we retreat the way we came?"
Liu Du, extremely anxious, proposed.
Xiao Mu lightly shook his head, "It's not that simple, this is an Array, Arrays change. After we came in, the way back would definitely be cut off automatically. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Liu Du's color changed. He didn't dare to try it at all, he didn't dare to leave the hilly area easily.
Staying inside the hilly area, under Xiao Mu's protection, even if the hidden Greenfin Clan member attacked stealthily, he didn't have to fear.
Once he was far from Xiao Mu, with his strength, he had no confidence that he could handle the Greenfin Clan's attack.
"But, Mr. Xiao, what should we do if we're trapped?"
Liu Du was panicked and asked for Xiao Mu's opinion.
"Let me think of a way."
Xiao Mu responded indifferently, with no trace of anxiety. Then, he directed Liu Du.
"You transform into your Dharma Body, use your Earth Listening Technique, and listen to the movements of the Greenfin Clan on the high ground. Get a feel for their situation so I can make a judgement."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, I'll do it right away."
Having heard Xiao Mu's words, Liu Du had increased confidence, immediately activated his Dharma Body, transformed into a willow tree, and carefully listened with all his might.
"Ah! What is this technique? You want to spy on us? You're asking for death!"
The hidden Greenfin Clan on the high ground obviously noticed the situation here and, surprised to see Liu Du using his Dharma Body to listen in, they immediately launched an attack on our side.
The transformation technique of Liu Du's Dharma Body was seen as a threat. They were scared of leaking secrets, so they attacked Liu Du immediately.
A white cutting light appeared again, weaving into a net and cutting towards Liu Du.
This time, the target of the Greenfin Clan's attack was Liu Du. They wanted to destroy Liu Du's Dharma Body.
The white cutting light intertwined, like a terrifying laser net, aimed at Liu Du and descended, wanting to dismember him completely.
"Want to attack my comrade? Did you ask me first?"
Xiao Mu stood up with a smile on his face.
From the actions of the Greenfin Clan, he realized that the Greenfin Clan was actually panicked.
The Earth Listening Technique that Liu Du was skilled at with his Dharma Body had a rather peculiar effect. It could hear the opponent's movements from a long distance and take the initiative.
Therefore, as soon as the Greenfin Clan saw Liu Du's Earth Listening Technique, they panicked, hastily attacking Liu Du.
Xiao Mu flicked his hand and released his Door-God Painting.
The Door-God Painting spread out like a massive screen blocking the sky. Rays of divine light emanated from it, protecting both Xiao Mu and Liu Du, making the white cutting light unable to reach them.
The white cutting light struck the Door-God Painting, but was easily blocked by the dense divine light released by the Door-God Painting. It couldn't hurt Xiao Mu and Liu Du at all.
"Mutant of the Human world, you deserve to die!"
The hidden Greenfin Clan on the high ground was infuriated when their attack failed, and began cursing at Xiao Mu.
"You've run out of tricks!"
Xiao Mu responded indifferently, which drove the hidden Greenfin Clan to fury.
"Mutant of the Human world, I'll let you be arrogant for now. I don't believe you can hide forever. I'll kill you sooner or later."
Even as the Greenfin Clan member bellowed in anger, his aura gradually vanished, no longer attacking Xiao Mu and Liu Du.
He obviously knew that as long as Xiao Mu and Liu Du hid within the hilly terrain and used the Door-God Painting to protect themselves, any of his attacks would ultimately be futile.
"How is it? Did you hear anything?"
After a while, Xiao Mu asked Liu Du.
Liu Du turned into a human form and respectfully replied, "I heard some information, Mr. Xiao. There are five of them, three at the peak of the Fourth Realm, and two in the late stage."
"The five of them are operating a Great Array."
"Among them, the strongest one is at the state of Peak Perfection."
"This person has a treasured round mirror that, according to the information I heard, seems to possess odd powers that can enhance the effects of the Great Array."
"Round Mirror?"
Liu Du's words left Xiao Mu momentarily stunned.
Especially the so-called 'Round Mirror', which had Xiao Mu's heart racing.
Previously in the stone house, the item that was taken was a round mirror that emits death qi.
Now, the head of the Greenfin Clan in that place also held a round mirror.
Could this mirror be the same one taken from the stone house?
Regardless, Xiao Mu was moved.
The round mirror is related to the Yin God Secret Manual and involves the attainment of Dao in the Ghost Servant and the accomplishments of the Yin God. Whether it is the same mirror or not, he must investigate thoroughly.
If it is, he must have it in his hands.
Xiao Mu began to ponder, his expression quickly turning serious.
In fact, the strength of these five members of the Greenfin Clan is not low.
Especially out of the three peak states, one is even in the state of Peak Perfection.
With one of the three peaks at Peak Perfection, coupled with two late-stage members, if a real battle were to break out, even if Xiao Mu and Liu Du combined forces, victory would be challenging.
Moreover, if the strength of the three peak members is formidable, they might not be able to compete.
Fortunately, the five members of the Greenfin Clan have not yet decided to engage directly in battle. They merely intend to trap Xiao Mu with the Thousand Swords Killing Array.
At least for now.
Xiao Mu remained silent, quietly pondering their next move.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Stomp! Stomp!
Rumble!
Again, people broke into the Killing Array, and it seemed like more than one.
Xiao Mu and Liu Du turned their heads simultaneously to the newcomers, only to be taken aback.
This time, it's not the mutated beings of the human world that came in, but evil ghosts.
The leader was a stunning woman riding an Evil Spirit Skeleton Warhorse, shrouded in Yin Qi, but with little death qi.
This woman, although an evil ghost, obviously practiced a special Ghost-Register making her aura significantly different from ordinary evil ghosts.
The woman was followed by more than a dozen evil ghosts, the weakest of whom were all late-stage curse ghosts, and the strongest even reached the peak state, with the most powerful one at Peak Perfection.
"Mr. Xiao, it's them."
Liu Du suddenly sent a message to Xiao Mu, warning him. At the same time, his face was filled with caution and he instinctively retreated.
This evil ghost woman who was riding the Evil Spirit Skeleton Warhorse was obviously the 'Princess' ghost that Liu Du had previously encountered.
The strength of this group of evil ghosts was too formidable, filling him with fear.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Mu carefully scrutinized the evil ghost woman known as the 'Princess'. His face grew serious instantly.
Not only was this woman practicing an unusual Ghost-Register, her personal strength was incredibly strong. She was at the state of Peak Perfection, and was much stronger than Xu Tongxiang.
"Are you mutated beings from the human world? Don't you kneel when you see the princess of our clan?"
Noticing Xiao Mu and Liu Du, the peak perfection evil ghost's face twisted into a grotesque grimace. He roared and issued a command.
The rest of the evil ghosts quickly gathered and formed an encirclement, subtly surrounding Xiao Mu and Liu Du.
