Chapter 1272: The Last Resort
Chapter 1272: The Last Resort
November 28th, 2017
Outside Chang'an City, near the Giant Funnel, at the Capital Military Camp.
Facing Dromar's pursuit, Qin Mu was in a dire and humiliating situation.
It was well known that his only means of fighting back were the Minor Teleportation Technique and his Demonic Magic. To be fair, his Demonic Magic was incredibly formidable. Even a powerful figure like Lu Hai Kong would find it impossible to defend against his magic attacks. Qin Mu could even rely solely on his magic to battle someone of Yu Wen Cheng Du's caliber. But unfortunately, he had encountered Dromar!
In terms of strength, Dromar's power had surged to 110 after the incident with Li Ru, yet it still fell short of Qin Mu's political prowess of 120. However, Dromar possessed divine-like equipment and wielded a Demon Weapon, which was an overpowered tool.
With the Demon Weapon in play, not only was Qin Mu's Demonic Magic ineffective, but attempting to use it would only result in self-sabotage, severely diminishing his capabilities.
As if having a Demon Weapon wasn't enough, Dromar also had Lu Hai Kong by his side, who had stopped fighting after being affected by the Demonic Magic and was now idly standing by.
Lu Hai Kong's eyes shone with golden light, locking onto Qin Mu.
Lu Hai Kong's level 3 Heavenly Eye Technique and his Demon Weapon were both overpowered abilities. With Lu Hai Kong's Heavenly Eye Technique, he could pinpoint Qin Mu's teleportation destinations, making Qin Mu's situation all the more desperate.
Within just a few minutes of pursuit, Qin Mu had already sustained several injuries. If not for Dromar's hesitation to strike due to Qin Mu possessing a one-armed warrior's body, Qin Mu might have already been sliced in two.
Even though Dromar was reluctant to deliver a fatal blow due to the host body Qin Mu was occupying, Qin Mu's situation was still dire. He was well aware that his defeat was only a matter of time if things continued this way.
"This can't go on any longer!"
After dodging and evading several times, a cold light flashed in Qin Mu's eyes. Gritting his teeth, he abruptly stopped.
However, this was not the time for Qin Mu to rest. As soon as he halted, Dromar instantly appeared before him, kicking Qin Mu to the ground. With a swing of his Demon Blade, he held it against Qin Mu's neck, "Get out of his body, and I'll grant you a quick death!"
At this moment, Qin Mu refrained from mocking Dromar's arrogance and delusions. Instead, his face remained unusually calm, "May I ask you a question?"
"Speak!" Dromar narrowed his eyes.
"I'm curious, how did Lu Hai Kong convince you to attack me? And why did you choose to act now? Shouldn't you have waited until after I resurrected Li Ru? By attacking now, aren't you concerned that no one will be able to resurrect Li Ru if I die?"
For Qin Mu, the day had been filled with unexpected twists and turns, but what he found most incomprehensible was this: why, when they could have easily achieved their goal without a hitch by paying twenty billion gold and sacrificing a hundred thousand laborers, did they choose to draw their blades at the moment of success?
Even if Qin Mu had sent people to capture Li Ru, shouldn't Dromar have waited until he obtained the method to resurrect Li Ru before taking action?
Dromar directly answered Qin Mu's question, "Because your entire plan was seen through by Lu Hai Kong from the very beginning. He knows all your preparations and intentions, and most importantly, he has already obtained the method you intended to use to resurrect Wen You. So, there's no need for you to exist anymore!"
"You've seen through everything?
"Completely mastered?"
At these words, Qin Mu, who was being trampled underfoot by Dromar, couldn't help but laugh, his face filled with mockery. However, his laughter abruptly froze at Dromar's next statement.
"If you're thinking of activating the formation beneath your feet, I suggest you save your strength. While this formation remains untouched, the demonic crystal I gave you has been tampered with. You won't be able to utilize the formation's other layer!"
Qin Mu was utterly dumbfounded by this revelation!
Dromar drew his sword, and as his plans in Chang'an City crumbled, Qin Mu wasn't surprised. Though he felt the sting of defeat, he could still bear it. But this particular revelation left him completely baffled.
How could Lu Hai Kong's strategists know about the formation when only he should have had knowledge of it?
"Strategists? Of course! It must be the strategists behind Lu Hai Kong! Xun Gongda, the peerless strategist; Guo Fengxiao, the god-like predictor; and Xi Zhicai, the genius beyond heaven's envy. It seems I've underestimated Lu Hai Kong and his subordinates."
In that instant, Qin Mu understood everything.
When he exposed himself to the sun, when he appeared before the group of heaven-defying strategists under Lu Hai Kong, all his plans became a joke, and he would have no secrets left.
"I have no interest in listening to your pathetic howls, dog. Get out of Xu Huan's body and face your death!" Dromar's eyebrows furrowed, and the demonic weapon in his hand exuded an even colder aura as he spoke with icy determination.
"How cruel of you, Lord Dromar, to call me a howling defeated dog. Yes, I admit my defeat at the hands of Lu Hai Kong's strategists, who have outsmarted me. But this doesn't mean I'm completely finished."
Qin Mu's hysterical reaction caused Dromar's eyebrows to knit together, and his heart filled with alarm.

Sensing a potential change in the situation, Dromar was about to grit his teeth and strike Xu Huan as well, but at that moment, Qin Mu's lips curled upwards, and a look of triumph mixed with madness appeared on his face, "You want me to come out? I'm coming out right now!"
As Qin Mu's words landed, a flash of dark energy appeared on his face, and he immediately emerged from Xu Huan's body.
"Be careful, he's coming out! This is his last use of Ethereal Possession. If we can kill him now, we can finish him off for good!"
Lu Hai Kong's voice arrived alongside two golden rays of light, illuminating Dromar and striking the ethereal form of Qin Mu, inflicting damage.
Dromar reacted swiftly, swinging his demon blade towards Qin Mu.
However, Qin Mu seemed to have gone all out, as his ethereal body dissipated by a fifth, and he frantically used Minor Teleportation Technique to vanish from Lu Hai Kong's sight.
Almost simultaneously, on the other side, beneath the enormous funnel, a five-meter-tall monster that had been lying beneath the giant funnel since its evolution, now had Qin Mu's figure beside it.
The situation seemed to have taken a turn for the worse...
