Chapter 294: Chapter 263 Tie_1


    It’s on!


    Two tigers cannot upy the same mountain, a fight between these two was something everyone could predict. It was just a matter of time before the battle would ensue.


    “I’ve long heard of Friend Wang’s great reputation, I’ve eagerly wanted to learn from you!” Xu Mu said with polite gestures.


    In response to Xu Mu’s greeting, Wang Yongan snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.


    Xu Mu didn’t take offence, smiling slightly and withdrew his hand.


    “Just make your points clear, don’t break the harmony!” Li Yon said indifferently.


    “I obey!”


    “Princess, rest assured!”


    Both of them responded.


    Wang Yongan lunged forward to stand opposite Xu Mu, without any pretense of politeness. pping on his waist pocket, countless white butterflies, as small as a palm, flew out, covering in all directions for hundreds of feet.<div>


    The crowd moved back a significant distance to avoid getting involved.


    “Go!”


    Wang Yongan squeezed the Finger Jue, snorted coldly, and the butterflies flew towards Xu Mu quickly.


    “These butterflies are interesting!”


    He didn’t sense any life force or murderous intent from these butterflies with his Divine Intent. It was somewhat simr to a puppet, but not quite.


    Xu Mu marveled again internally, anyone who can be recruited by Li Yon is indeed remarkable.


    Like Lu Kui, who he fought earlier, had an extremely insidious method. If he had not timely used the Virtualization Skill, he might have suffered considerably.


    Therefore, he must be careful!


    Bang Bang Bang!


    Facing the swooping white butterflies, Xu Mu’s eight arms of Mana swinging relentlessly behind him.


    The terrifying power made the air constantly explode, forming a visible white tide.


    In an instant, arge number of white butterflies were shattered and exploded.


    The expression on Wang Yongan’s face changed subtly. He pped his pocket again, and hundreds of winged green snakes flew out at lightning speed past the flock of butterflies, and spat out ck fog towards Xu Mu again and again, covering all directions.


    Xu Mu’s attacks had fallen on this ck fog, as if they were falling on cotton, unable to disperse them, let alone eradicate them.


    This ck fog seemed to naturally restrain the Space Grasp Skill.


    Moreover, the ck fog could also obscure his Divine Intent, leaving him unaware of his whereabouts.


    Xu Mu’s eyes shed, retreated while continuously attacking as if somewhat unwilling.


    However, he couldn’t keep retreating forever, and the ck fog spread very quickly. If he hesitated slightly, he would bepletely surrounded.


    “Huh! This is troublesome!” Xu Mu revealed an expression of helplessness, retracted the Space Grasp Skill, and squeezed Finger Jue, instantly gathered hundreds of green fireballs, and threw towards the ck fog.<div>


    Rumble! Rumble!


    The fireballs instantly exploded violently upon contact with the ck fog, forming a terrifying impact, forcefully dispelling the surrounding ck fog.


    “Such a brilliant Fire-controlling Skill, surprisingly able to directly condense the green spirit me! This seems to be the simplest Fireball Skill. I never expected it would have such power!” eximed Qiao Qianqian.


    “Green Spirit me? Could it be his Alchemy Skill has reached tier eight as well?” Li Yon wondered.<div>


    Generally, cultivators who practice fire element martial methods are either Artifact Refiners or Alchemists. She already knew that Xu Mu is an alchemist. Now that he has disyed such a brilliant Fire-controlling Skill, it goes without saying that Xu Mu’s Alchemy Skill certainly wouldn’t be bad.


    This fellow really knows how to hide his skills!


    For the task of the Spirit Jade, perhaps I could ask for his help! Li Yon thought to herself.


    Under the bombardment of Xu Mu’s fireballs, the ck fog was finally dispersed, and he had already created a gap of several hundred feet from the opponent.


    Xu Mu took a deep breath, once again used the Space Grasp Skill, intending to seize the opportunity to attack, only to find that the white butterflies had surrounded him while the fog was spreading.


    The green flying snakes were taken back by Wang Yongan at some point.


    It seems that the ck fog was just a cover, the opponent’s consistent offensive methods were these white butterflies.


    Although these butterflies seemed weak, Xu Mu did not dare to take it lightly.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The eight magical arms on his back were forcefully propelled forward. He wanted to rip open an exit and break free.


    “Huh? What’s happening?”


    The white butterflies that should be easily crushed only retreated a little before neutralizing his attack.


    Xu Mu incredulouslyunched attack after attack, but his attacks became weaker with each attempt. It felt as if an invisible entity was continuously weakening his strikes.<div>


    “Idiot! You haven’t noticed yet?!”


    Looking at Xu Mu, who seemed to struggle like a trapped animal, Lu Kui showed a gleeful smile.


    “It’s silk threads!”


    Li Yon nced at Wang Yongan, unclear whether he had just learned this, or if he had mastered it long ago but had never shown it in front of her.


    Xu Mu too realized that something was off, as the butterflies did not seem to beunching an attack on him; rather, they were fluttering around him.


    Xu Mu extended his right hand to pull at the empty space, meeting with some resistance. Drawing his hand back, he found himself staring at fine transparent threads, thinner than silkworm’s fments and countless times more tenuous, which even his divine intent could not sense. Had there not been so many of them umted, he might not have been able to see them even up close.


    The strength of each individual thread was extremely weak; even when they wrapped around him, he couldn’t sense them.


    But these threads stuck to his body, making each subsequent thread stronger and stronger.


    Now, he felt as if he were trapped in an invisible giant cocoon; with time, the threads on his body increased, as did their resistance.


    Until ultimately, he would be akin to an insect stuck in glue.


    Wang Yongan crossed his arms and smirked. In his eyes, he’d already won.


    No matter how Xu Mu struggled or evaded, if he attacked, these white butterflies, like fly maggots, incessantly swirled around him, spitting silk, until he was thoroughly trapped with all hope of resistance gone.


    “Can’t he really lose like this?”<div>


    A frown wrinkled Qiao Qianqian’s brow, unaware that Wang Yongan had such a peculiar attack style. If she had known, she could have warned Xu Mu.


    Seeing that there was no way to escape, Xu Mu simply gave up dodging and let the butterflies weave silk around him like building a snowman.


    “Your highness, should you not interfere?” Qiao Qianqian suggested to Li Yon.


    If things continued this way, Xu Mu would lose in a very embarrassing way.


    “Friend Xu, why don’t we call it a day?” Li Yon suggested with a slight frown on her face.


    She had assumed Xu Mu had some unknown trump cards, but he seemed to have given up. Such limited strength might call for a recement, although she had no fondness for Wang Yongan.


    “At yourmand, your highness.” Xu Mu chuckled as he looked over at Wang Yongan, “How about we agree on it being a draw?”


    “…”


    Everyone was speechless and wholly unprepared for Xu Mu’s thick-skinned response.


    “Hehe!”


    Wang Yonganughed in fury.


    “A draw? You’re really… rgh!”


    Before he could finish his sentence, he spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, he lost control of the spiritual power in his body and started falling uncontrobly. Luckily, Li Yon reacted in time and had Elder Jin catch him. Otherwise, falling to the ground might have caused damage to the surrounding flowers and grasses.<div>


    On the other hand, Xu Mu turned into a wisp of blue smoke and escaped from the barrage of butterflies, effortlessly. Then, he activated the Space Grasp Skill, instantly annihting the majority of the white butterflies. The remaining ones were caught as he nned to research them after returning.


    After adjusting his robe, Xu Mu turned towards Wang Yongan, held by Elder Jin and said cheerfully, “I said it was a tie, and I will not renege. There’s no need for you to get so worked up, friend!”


    “You… rgh!”


    Upon hearing Xu Mu’s words, Wang Yongan was so furious that he spat out another mouthful of blood.


    What on earth just happened?


    Why did Wang Yongan fall all of a sudden?


    This sudden turnaround left everyone shocked and unable to react.


    “Let’s get out of here before the patrol team spots us!”


    Li Yon smiled faintly and turned into an escape light to fly to the ground towards the Inviting Moon tform. One after the other, the others turned into escape lights and followed.


    “Friend Xu, when exactly did you poison him?”
