548 Fu Riluo in the Fire (1/2)

”Why do we need to run?”

Shu Yao, Yu He, and the rest had no idea why he'd said that. The black tiger god's ears suddenly rose, and he looked at the sacrificial altar that was still being constructed.

Around it, the devil soldiers had heard Qin Mu's shout and looked over with suspicion. The devil general of Celestial Being Realm immediately gave two shouts and sent a few devils to check.

They flew over, and one of them opened a black jar. Numerous wasps came flying out and grew to the size of two feet.

The black tiger god's ears folded back down again, and he asked in bewilderment, ”Run why These devils aren't difficult for you to deal with. That general of Celestial Being Realm is slightly trickier, but it's not like he can't fight him at all.”

Qin Mu's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he felt the mirror in his hands becoming heavier and heavier. It was like carrying a huge mountain from which Fu Riluo was about to walk out!

”It's Fu Riluo! He is over at that sacrificial altar!” His voice was hoarse. ”Don't you guys see him? He's striding toward us!”

Everyone was astonished and hurriedly looked around. Yu He was puzzled. ”Where's Fu Riluo?”

The black tiger god looked around, and his ears flickered as he tried to hear anything, but he still shook his head in the end. ”There's no sign of Fu Riluo. Are you muddle-headed? Fu Riluo is the commander-in-chief of the devil race, so what would he be doing here instead of overseeing the main camp?”

The mirror in Qin Mu's hands was incomparably heavy and crashed onto the ground. ”Didn't you guys see Fu Riluo in the mirror? Just now he walked out from the sacrificial altar, and I saw him in the mirror!”

Everyone hurriedly looked at the mirror, then shook their heads. ”Cult Master, there's nothing in the mirror. Are your eyes blurry?”

”The enemies are about to reach us. Prepare to face them!” Shu Yao hurriedly said.

The black tiger god looked at the clear mirror with a solemn face. He couldn't see any Fu Riluo, but he sensed that something was wrong.

Qin Mu's strength might not be comparable to that of Yu He, Shu Yao, and Sang Hua, but it wasn't to the extent that he couldn't hold onto a mirror!

It's fall to the ground meant that it had grown too heavy, surpassing the limits of Qin Mu's strength!

This was something that was impossible!

The black tiger god walked toward the mirror and said solemnly, ”There are really no signs of Fu Riluo beside the altar. Did you really see him in the mirror?”

Qin Mu's eyes were still staring at that mirror as if he couldn't shift his gaze away. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. Even though the mirror had dropped on the ground, it hadn't shattered. It stood upright in front of him as though an indescribable force held it there.

The black tiger good looked into the mirror, but there was still no Fu Riluo inside, only Qin Mu's reflection.

The black tiger god's heart trembled, and he hurriedly went to the other side and looked into Qin Mu's eyes.

The youth was still staring at the mirror and with terror. In each of his eyes, there was a figure that was gradually growing bigger and bigger, filling his pupils!

In a bit, the black tiger god saw the appearance of that figure which had three faces. It was none other than the True Devil Commander of the devil race, Fu Riluo!

”Crap! Fu Riluo isn't in the mirror, but in your eyes! You crossed gazes with him before!” The black tiger god's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly moved to smash the mirror. With the other hand, he grabbed Qin Mu. ”Don't look at the mirror! He's borrowing your eyes and the reflection in the mirror to show himself!”

At this moment, a pair of black hands suddenly popped out from the mirror in front of Qin Mu and grabbed his shoulders. The youth instantly turned into a paper man and was dragged into the mirror.

The black tiger god had wanted to shatter the mirror, but stopped himself. He looked at his hand that was holding onto thin air.

He hurriedly turned the mirror around, but it was empty. Only the pair of black hands and Qin Mu were rapidly moving away, becoming smaller and smaller.

The black tiger god jumped toward the mirror, but just as he was about to enter, he heard a loud noise—the mirror had been shattered by him.

The black tiger god climbed up in a daze.

Yu He, Shu Yao, and the rest had been readying to face the enemies, but now they were too stunned by what had just happened. Yet they didn't have the time to think and had to fight their enemy.

'Fu Riluo had long wanted to seize junior brother. In Li City, he crossed gazes with Junior Brother Qin and planted the divine art of the devil path in his eyes...'

Cold sweat started rolling down the black tiger god's forehead. Fu Riluo's divine art of the devil path had to hide from terrifying existences like Saint Woodcutter and True God Pang Yu, so it should have had no power.

This meany that Fu Riluo had only imprinted his shadow in the depths of Qin Mu's eyes. This shadow didn't have any power, since it was the only way to hide it from the gods like Saint Woodcutter.

Only when Qin Mu stepped into the territory of the devils and absorbed devil qi would the shadow gain strength. It would grow, but it would still not be enough to capture the youth.

That was because the shadow was only an imprint in Qin Mu's eyes, and Fu Riluo's body within it was reversed. It was flipped horizontally when compared to the Fu Riluo in the real world and that included his five viscera and six bowels, the imprint of the divine arts, and even the smallest atom in his body.

Only when Qin Mu raised a mirror and looked at it that Fu Riluo in his eyes righted itself. He was then able to execute his divine arts and kidnap Qin Mu.

The moment the youth entered the devils' territory and raised a mirror, he had activated Fu Riluo's divine art.

'If only I had realized it earlier…' The sweat rolled down like rain over the tiger god's forehead, and his eyelids were like two water screens. 'It isn't Junior Brother Qin that created trouble this time, but me... Now that I've lost Junior Brother Qin, how am I supposed to answer to my lord... I'm finished!'

Qin Mu looked around his new surroundings. He had appeared in a place that was desolate beyond imagination. There were several huge planets in the sky, but they were tattered, desolate, and lonely.

He was located in a huge swamp, standing on water. Flames floated in the distance, burning above the swamp's ground layer.
