A brilliant rainbow swept across the line of sight.

　　With a grave expression, Mirage Saburo turned his palms towards the sky and violently blew out mirage qi, and at the same time, the younger brother on his forehead also spewed out a white qi. The two mirage qi fused and transformed into a large mirage in mid-air, opening its teeth and claws and pouncing on the rainbow.

　　The rainbow skyrocketed in an instant, as if the Milky Way had dipped an opening, and the longsword transformed into three thousand weak waters that rolled down in a torrent of beautiful colours, drowning the large mirage, and then rushed towards Mirage Saburo.

　　"Brother, this woman is too solid, we don't seem to be able to fight!"

　　"To die under a peony flower, to be a ghost is to be a ghost." Mirage Saburo tilted his neck, and his brother simultaneously swallowed the clouds and disappeared into the smoke in unison, and in an instant, from the fog, a Mirage Demon leapt out violently.

　　It had Mirage Saburo's face, but its body was like his younger brother's, its body was silver-white, brilliantly glowing, and two long snow-white whiskers were born under its jaws, which slowly waved and surged up gusts of clouds and mist.

　　"Holy shit! Mirage Saburo, this demon, always likes to change around, are you tired?" I mockingly exclaimed.

　　Hat Dan Mei gazed carefully at the mirage demon and said, "This is a transmutation in evolution, when a demon reaches this level, it will gradually depart from its initial appearance and mutate. Mirages don't have whiskers, but look at this mirage demon, it has two long whiskers. No wonder Mirage Sanlang dared to challenge Fairy Gan, so it has already stepped into the transmutation state. However, there's something odd about this mirage demon, it seems to be a merger between Mirage Saburo and his brother."

　　Three thousand weak waters surged to the mirage demon in an instant, and the mirage demon puffed out its cheeks, its long whiskers curling backwards, followed by popping out. "Whoosh," a white whisker whistled and shot out, continuously thickening and elongating as it traced through the air.

　　With a loud bang, the white beard transformed into a pillar of snow-white clouds and mist, erected in front of the Three Thousand Weak Waters. Like a majestic mountain peak, it rose up flat on the ground, stopping the rushing torrent.

　　"Stop!" The Mirage Demon gave a low shout.

　　On the cloud pillar, a row of clear incantation characters immediately appeared, shining brightly. The rush of the weak water was immediately stopped, and the blanket of water Qi surged and gathered under the pillar, coming to a standstill.

　　My heart sank, Gan Lemon Zhen's sword was actually blocked by Mirage Sanlang.

　　The demons under the Demon Lord's seat are truly more terrifying than one another! If the Demon Lord himself had come, I'm afraid that the three beauties and I would all be finished with our lives. I suddenly realised that the three beauties aren't an absolute safety talisman. Gan Lime Zhen was right, in the Red Dust Heaven, they might be invincible, but there are heavens beyond the heavens, and in the entire Northern Realm, there are even more powerful people among the strongest.

　　"Retreat!" As the Mirage Demon shouted, another row of incantation characters appeared on the Cloud Mist Pillar. The Cloud Mist Pillar roared, like a tiger in power, forcing the monstrous weak water, a little bit, to retreat backwards.

　　I clenched my fists, my palms were sweaty, ''The situation doesn't seem good! Hai Ji, Hat Dan Mei, eradicating demons, everyone has a responsibility, you two, are you going up for a wheel battle?"

　　Hai Ji said calmly, "You don't have to worry, wait and see."

　　The ripples opened at first, a snow white lotus floated out of the water, Gan Lime true white clothes like snow, black hair like paint, quietly stood on the snow lotus.

　　Immaculate, just like the fairy in the myth who fluttered out of the Luo water.

　　In front of the towering pillar of clouds and mist, she appeared so petite that it seemed that if she was not careful, she would be overwhelmed by the giant pillar.

　　Her eyes, however, never looked at the Cloud Mist Pillar.

　　She tilted her head, and it was as if there was nothing in this world that could make her gaze down.

　　With her eyes, she looked at the higher sky.

　　Reaching out, the three thousand weak waters immediately contracted and condensed into a colourful needle. The needle was silent and pierced the cloud mist pillar. The incantations on the cloud mist pillar disappeared, one word after another. For every incantation word that disappeared, a deep crack would seep out from the cloud mist pillar.

　　The Mirage Demon's face changed, and he exhaled and blew, and one of his remaining white whiskers shot out in lightning, transforming into an ornate cloud gas, like a swimming dragon, circling around the pillar of clouds and mist, circling and wrapping around it.

　　"Turn!" The Giant Mirage bellowed. The cloud Qi circled around the pillar of clouds and mist, spinning rapidly. From the white cloud qi, densely packed demons crawled out, teeth and claws open, pouncing towards Gan Lime Zhen. These monsters, some as big as giant mountains, some smaller than a hair, they spewed out poisonous juice, spit out stinking miasma, and exhaled large patches of colourful clouds.

　　Gan Lemon Zhen's jade arm flicked up and the needle returned to his hand, transforming into a colourful long sword.

　　With a single chop of the sword, the ashes flew away!

　　The demons were like candle oil, melting one after another. The sword light went on its way and chopped at the cloud gas. The cloud gas swelled violently and transformed into an immense super giant mirage. The entire sky was covered by its gigantic size. The giant mirage opened its mouth and sucked with great force, Gan Lime Zhen, even with his sword, was quickly sucked towards its mouth by the swift force.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

　　It looked like the giant mirage was about to swallow Gan Lime Zhen. The sword light flashed hundreds of times in a flash, like embroidery, and then Gan Lime Zhen disappeared into the giant mirage's mouth.

　　"Oh no!" I was shocked, and just as my words fell, there was a thunderbolt, the giant mirage exploded in all directions, and Gan Lemon Zhen broke through the mirage and flew out, and the Three Thousand Weak Water Swords condensed into a droplet of water, and flicked out from her snow-white fingertips.

　　The cloud mist pillar collapsed violently, the mirage demon let out a strange cry, the water droplet passed through the cloud mist pillar and hit the mirage demon.

　　The Mirage Demon's body shook violently, his five senses spilled blood, and he was knocked back to his original form of Mirage Sanlang.

　　"Brother, we lost." The younger brother on the forehead said miserably.

　　I said triumphantly, "Just with you guys, you dare to move on Tai Yang's head, you really don't know what you're doing! Quickly consider what good treasures to take out that can be exchanged for your lives."

　　Mirage Sanlang looked up to the sky and laughed long and hard, "Winning or losing, the head turns into nothing. Although we lost, you guys didn't win either. Even if you kill us, you guys won't be able to walk out of here. Unless you hand over the three exotic treasures, otherwise, you guys will have to be trapped in this painting for the rest of your lives."

　　I was dumbfounded, and it was only then that I remembered that we were still inside the mural.

　　Hatanmei's eyes rolled, "Mirage Monroe, what do you mean by that?"

　　Mirage Mangrove said, "This mural, is an illusion of my inner dan, although it is an illusion, it is as real as flesh and blood. If you guys kill me, the inner dan bursts out, and the whole painting will automatically blow up, and the characters in the painting, including you guys, will of course perish along with the painting."

　　Hat Dan Mei laughed delicately, "Could it be that we don't have legs and won't walk out of this painting?"

　　Mirage Sanlang shook his head, "Firstly, you guys don't see to be able to walk out. It's not difficult to enter the mural, but to get out, you must find the hidden exit in this endless illusion, how easy is that? Secondly, even if you guys have the ability, I won't give you a chance. As long as I destroy the inner elixir now and fight to the death, the mural will immediately go up in smoke, and you guys will also become my companions."

　　I hurriedly said, "Mirage Sanlang, it's better to die than to live, why do you have to think about it? At most, I don't want your treasure and let you live is all."

　　Hai Ji sneered and said to Mirage Sanlang, "Who believes in your bullshit? Even if everything in the mural is destroyed, with our power, we won't necessarily die."

　　A hint of cunning flashed in Mirage Saburo's eyes as he pointed at me and said, "What about him? With this amount of demonic power of his, can he also be spared?"

　　Hai Ji gritted her teeth and didn't say anything. Day his grandmother, seeing myself turn into a bargaining chip for Mirage Saburo to threaten the beauties, in my heart, I have a bit of a bad taste. Had I known, we shouldn't have entered the mural. This is completely a trap laid by Mirage Saburo, although we were alerted, but still fell for it.

　　The three beauties looked at each other, whether Mirage Saburo's words were true or false was still unknown, but they didn't dare to risk my life. Mirage Saburo smiled, "It seems that all three of you care about little brother and can't bear to let him die."

　　Mirage Saburo's brother exclaimed strangely, "This kid is quite the flirt."

　　I blurted out, "Mirage Saburo, once the mural is blown up, the three exotic treasures will have to go down with it, what's in it for you? I see that you've been nagging for half a day, just talking but not practising, probably you don't want to end up with us either, right? Don't play games. What conditions do you want? Let's hear it. But don't expect us to obediently hand over the three exotic treasures, or else we'll all part ways, and I'll drag you on my back even if I have to die."

　　"Little brother is quick to speak, good! I am also unwilling to have everyone fight to the death. I have a compromise method, I wonder what you all think?"

　　"Speak up if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say!"

　　"I want little brother to do one thing for me."

　　"Me?" I froze for a moment, "You're not mistaken, are you?"

　　"That's right." Mirage Saburo nodded, "Exactly you, if you do this thing, I will respectfully send all of you away from the mural without any difficulty. If you can't do it, you guys can leave just the same, you just need to hand over the map of the Self-existent Heaven, and the rest of the two treasures, still remain in your hands."

　　I thought about it, the conditions offered by Mirage Saburo are not excessive, it's just that amongst the four of us, he purposely chose me, which is nothing more than bullying the soft and fearing the hard. With this bit of demonic power of mine, I definitely couldn't do what he had entrusted me with.

　　Mirage Sanlang said, "Little brother is scared and doesn't dare to agree?"

　　I returned with a leathery smile, "Don't use aggressive tactics on me, it doesn't work. I'm just a nobody, I don't eat your shit."

　　Mirage Saburo's younger brother called out, "Don't you want to hear what to do? It's absolutely fair to you."

　　Fair? I almost wanted to laugh; at a very young age I understood that there was never any fairness in this world.

　　The word fair was only something that tigers and wolves said to rabbits.

　　"What do you want him for?" Gan Lemon Zhen suddenly asked.
