Chapter 290 Obstructed
Xu Mu was helpless in the trapped formation.
Although he is also proficient in formations, the level of this formation is too high. With his ability, he can't crack it in just a few years.
This space will soon be destroyed, but he doesn't have a few years to try.
And the black Nascent Soul will also not let him go.
The longer it takes, the more dangerous it is for him.
At this moment, Xu Mu thought of the jade slip he had just obtained.
"I wonder if this method will work?"
Xu Mu hesitated while holding the jade slip, but this hesitation was quickly eliminated by him. Now there is no other way.
Xu Mu's idea is also very simple. He is to practice the corpse puppet technique and see if he can use such a spell to control or sense the corpse puppets around him and find a breakthrough for himself to break through the formation.
Although this method is a bit fanciful, it is not necessarily impossible.
"Anyway, it's just a loss of some luck points!"
It can't be said that it was a loss. He would have to learn the corpse puppet technique sooner or later.
With an idea in mind, Xu Mu immediately began to invest a lot of luck points in the corpse puppet technique.
The Corpse Puppet Technique is a tenth-level spell. In theory, no matter how hard Xu Mu persists, it will take half a month to fully integrate. The huge amount of information and experience is too mentally draining.
The only good thing about learning this kind of spell is that it doesn't require consuming energy like the body refining technique.
However, just as he was improving, he suddenly discovered something unusual. When he improved his skills in the past, his mind was not hit by a large amount of information flow. Instead, he accepted the information easily.
How is this going?
Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, confused for a moment.
But it didn’t take long to figure out what was going on.
It’s the Alchemy Pill!
When he faced the black Nascent Soul, he took several divine refining pills to enhance his soul power. It had only been half a day and less than 30% of his power had been consumed.
Now the information flow generated by improving skills is completely offset by the Alchemy Pill.
Xu Mu couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
If he had a large amount of refining pills, wouldn't it be possible to raise any spell to an extraordinary level in a short time?
This will be of great help to him in the future.
"We'll talk about the future later. Let's improve the corpse puppet technique first!"
With the help of the Alchemy Pill, the improvement that originally took half a month to complete can now be completed in less than an hour.
Xu Mu sat cross-legged and began to use the secret method in the corpse puppet technique to sense the surrounding situation, and soon captured some vague mental fluctuations.
Simple, mechanical, and full of pure evil thoughts!
"This guy actually uses the corpse puppet to control the formation, God is really helping me!"
By sensing the position of the corpse puppets, Xu Mu faintly noticed that they just formed an formation and were located in the formation eye of the formation.
As expected, the Black Nascent Soul used the power of the corpse puppet to form such a powerful formation. Otherwise, based on his observations along the way, it would have been impossible to form such a powerful formation in a short period of time.
If not, he wouldn't have barged in so rashly.
"The corpse puppets don't have too many distractions. They are the best candidates to serve as the formation flag. I was careless!"
Xu Mu considered his own gains and losses in his mind.
Only then did he remember that the Xuanyin Corpse Refining Technique he had obtained from the Iron Corpse Sect had the method of forming an array with corpses.
The black Nascent Soul probably deliberately disrupted the corpse puppet's formation and lured him in. He wanted to make a sneak attack, but he saw through it and then used the formation to trap him.
Fortunately, this formation does not have much attack power, otherwise it would not be as easy as it is now.
After understanding the principle of the formation and sensing the location of the corpse puppet as the eye of the formation, it will be much easier to break the formation.
Although Xu Mu has mastered the corpse puppet technique to its peak, he still cannot forcibly seize control of the corpse puppet. However, he can still do it by simply using secret techniques to interfere with the opponent.
Under the interference of his secret technique, the originally flawless formation immediately experienced changes and fluctuations. Xu Mu seized the opportunity and fled quickly.
As he escaped from the formation, the scenery in front of him changed, and he returned to the hall again.
"That black Nascent Soul has the ability to teleport. It's really difficult to kill him. This is his lair. I don't know how many tricks have been deployed. I'd better leave first!"
If you can catch the black Nascent Soul, you can indeed gain many benefits, but the risks are also not small. Xu Mu has never liked taking big risks for such dispensable benefits.
In his heart, no matter how great the benefit is, it is not as great as his own life.
Xu Mu did not turn around to break the formation maintained by the corpse puppet. He unfolded the sky phoenix wings and turned into a white escaping light and flew towards the outside at high speed.
The virtualized body could deceive the golden elixir stage, but it could not deceive the black Nascent Soul, so he didn't bother to virtualize the body and simply ran away as fast as possible.
But just as he flew not far away, a raging sword light suddenly struck him, almost seriously injuring him. In the light-escape state, the cultivator's defense was quite weak.
"are you crazy!"
Xu Mu hurriedly stopped the light escape, used magic techniques to condense the spiritual shield, and blocked the flying sword energy.
"It's you!"
A surprised and angry voice came.
Xu Mu looked over.
She was a girl with an arrogant expression, eyes full of anger, and several flying swords floating around her body.
It was none other than the Seventh Princess.
Her only two remaining subordinates also disappeared, whether they ran away or died.
"What's wrong with me! I'm sick!"
Xu Mu didn't bother to pay attention to the seventh princess, and didn't bother to ask why she was alone. He cursed and prepared to leave.
The Black Nascent Soul might come at any time, and he didn't dare to delay here.
"You! Stop!"
When the Seventh Princess heard that Xu Mu actually dared to scold her, he was so angry that he almost exploded like a powder keg. She squeezed the magic formula with her hand and shot out several sharp sword energy to block his way.
"I don't have time to play with you here. If you do this again, don't blame me for being rude." Xu Mu's eyes were cold and stern.
"Where did Youmeng go? Why are you alone?" the seventh princess asked suppressing her anger.
"I don't have time to chat with you. It's very dangerous here. I advise you to leave as soon as possible."
The black Nascent Soul may appear at any time. He really has no patience at all. After saying this, he will continue to fly away. He never thought that the Seventh Princess would attack again to block it.
Xu Mu was so angry that his lungs ached, and he suppressed his anger and looked at her.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"Since my sister is not here, you will listen to me from now on. If an enemy appears later, you will cooperate with me in attacking!" the seventh princess said without any doubt.
All her men were killed by the black Nascent Soul, and now she is a veritable commander. Even if she has the life-saving means to kill the opponent, it will be difficult to succeed if no one is around to restrain her.
This is also the reason why she kept Xu Mu, otherwise with her temper, Xu Mu would have been destroyed long ago.
"I listen to your uncle! Who do you think you are, you bitch!" Xu Mu scolded without hesitation.
When this woman was outside, she had an expression on her face that she wanted to kill him, and even sent a message to threaten him, and now she made it clear that she wanted him to be cannon fodder.
In this case, Xu Mu would naturally not give face to the other party. He was already well-mannered if he didn't take action directly.
As soon as Xu Mu's words came out, the seventh princess was furious. No one dared to scold her in her entire life, and her original patience completely turned into anger.
"You bitch slave! Go to hell!"
The seventh princess squeezed the magic formula in her hand, and the infinite sword energy exploded, sweeping towards Xu Mu.
"After all, I still have to do it once!"
Xu Mu was not polite. He also pressed the magic formula with his hands, and the surging fire energy turned into hundreds of golden flying swords and shot towards the opponent.
