"Perhaps it is the brain."

Xiao Mu pondered for a moment, making a judgment, "From my guess, this thing is probably trying to burrow into your brain."

"Burrow into the brain?"

King Qingshan, hearing that something was intending to penetrate his brain, was immediately gripped by greater terror.

The brain is the human body's control hub, who would dare allow random stuff to enter their brain?

"What's the consequence if it burrows into the brain? Will it completely control me?"

The thought of that scenario twisted King Qingshan's face into an expression of horror.

This scenario was remarkably terrifying; once controlled, one would be aimlessly wandering about, utterly losing their selfhood.

Let alone him, anyone under these circumstances would inevitably feel frightened.

Xiao Mu stayed silent, conspicuously agreeing with what King Qingshan had said.

"Ah..."

Out of extreme horror, King Qingshan suddenly started howling hysterically. His face was filled with unwillingness, "I, King Qingshan, have been dominating for so long, how could I be ruined by such a weird pattern? Old Mu, quickly help me think of something. I'm not willing, I'm not willing at all!"

He was unbearably reluctant.

Since the World Mutation, he, King Qingshan has always been one at the top of the pyramid, let alone in Nanke City. Even if you look across the entire country, the whole world, his name would remain renowned.

How can such a character consent to be ruined by an evil absurd pattern?

Xiao Mu fell silent upon hearing this. The situation is somewhat tricky, it's not something that can easily be resolved.

Staring at the pattern for a moment, he suddenly thought of something, "King Qingshan, don't panic. From my point of view, this pattern is constituted with evil power. Perhaps we could figure out a way to expulse this evil power from your body."

"Once the evil power is expelled, the pattern should disappear."

"Is it easily expelled?"

King Qingshan was elated at the sight of hope.

"It's difficult."

Xiao Mu frowned deeply, "The moment this pattern came into contact with your body, it attached itself to you. It's going to be extremely difficult to get rid of."

"It's difficult?"

King Qingshan's face changed again, he stared at the pattern on his arm for a moment, "Old Mu, this pattern is evil power, right?"

Xiao Mu nodded, "You could say that. Indeed, this pattern formed out of evil power."

"If that's the case, I'll wrench it out."

King Qingshan hollered loudly, his forehead veins were about to burst.

"I don't believe it. Once I wrench it out, it still can continue to control me."

As he spoke, he abruptly grabbed the pattern and forcefully pulled it away.

His muscles were stretched, yet his efforts remained futile. The pattern seemed to have grown on his flesh, unless he decides to cut off this chunk of flesh.

"King Qingshan, your approach won't work."

Xiao Mu quickly advised, this King Qingshan is too impulsive. He rushed into action even before he had finished speaking.

However, it revealed how panicked King Qingshan was in the situation.

As a lord of his domain, he truly shouldn't be this panicked, yet it showed just how frightening this bizarre pattern was.

"Red Thread Woman, you have a sword. Give me a cut, chop it off, chop it off quickly."

King Qingshan gasped anxiously and suddenly shouted at the Red Heroine. In his anxiety, he even mixed up the words for knife and sword.

"Okay!"

Red Thread Woman promptly pulled out the Treasure Sword. Only defending, not attacking, she felt that she couldn't hold on much longer.

Her power was almost equal to King Qingshan's — even slightly inferior.

The evil shadow behind King Qingshan had the same power as him. If engaging head-on, she would struggle to hold her ground, let alone remaining defensive.

Being only defensive can be achieved only if the defender's power overwhelmingly outclasses that of the opponent. Otherwise, not long will pass before being killed.

If it weren't for the Grand Chan Master and the Power Warrior supporting her, the defensive Red Thread Woman would have long been killed by the shadow.

Glancing at King Qingshan's arm, Red Thread Woman suddenly said, "King Qingshan, if I cut down with this sword, your arm will be useless. Think it through."

"Enough of the nonsense, just give me a cut! Even if disabled, it's better than becoming a walking corpse. I, King Qingshan, even if there's only one arm left, can still dominate the world!"

King Qingshan roared loudly, feeling that Red Thread Woman was moving too slowly.

"Alright, then I'll give you a stab!"

The Red Heroine didn't waste any more words and directly aimed her sword at King Qingshan's arm.

King Qingshan shut his eyes in pain.

Not everyone has the courage to make a gritty decision and cut off their limb.

"Wait, Red Thread Woman, wait!"

Xiao Mu beseechingly intervened and stopped Red Thread Woman's action.

These two are too anxious, not waiting for him to finish talking and already starting to reenact the flesh-cutting cure.

"Hold on, don't rush, King Qingshan. Perhaps I have a method to drive the evil power out from your body."

Seeing them both looking at him, Xiao Mu hastily spoke up.

"You can drive it out?"

Upon hearing this, King Qingshan was overjoyed,"Old Mu, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Xiao Mu smiled wryly again, but did not answer.

I wanted to say it earlier, but you two impatient fellows didn't give me the chance to explain.

"I can try it, but I can't guarantee a successful outcome."

"Come quickly, quickly, Old Mu! No matter what your method is, get to it!"

King Qingshan urgently expressed his impatience.

The Red Heroine also urged, "Mr. Mu, please act quickly, or we won't be able to hold off any longer."

Being only defensive, even with the combined force of her, the Grand Chan Master, and the Power Warrior, there was still a risk of succumbing to the shadow's attack.

"Okay!"

Xiao Mu deeply inhaled. His right hand suddenly morphed into a claw, with golden colored Dao Method Spiritual Energy emitted simultaneously between his five fingers, resembling an illusory golden claw.

This claw reached directly towards King Qingshan's arm, towards the pattern on the arm.

The golden claw met no resistance, piercing through King Qingshan's arm, and immediately grabbing onto the illusion of the pattern.

"Arr..."

The Illusion of the pattern issued a miserable howl as if it was in a hurry.

Seeing this, both King Qingshan and Red Thread Woman revealed delighted expressions on their faces.

This implied that Xiao Mu's method was effective.

Following that, Xiao Mu took another deep breath as a surge of Dao Method Spiritual Energy poured out, all of which gathered onto the golden claw. As it gripped onto the Illusion of the pattern, it forcefully yanked it outward.

Next, they saw the bizarre pattern illusion being extracted bit by bit from King Qingshan's body.

"Arr..."

The evil shadow behind King Qingshan evidently sensed danger. With a dreadful howl, it abandoned King Qingshan and swung at Xiao Mu.

"Hehe!"

The Red Heroine sneered coldly and blocked its attack with a swish of her palm.

Sweat broke out on Xiao Mu's forehead. Removing this peculiar pattern was no mean feat. Within this brief moment, it had exhausted a significant amount of his Dao Method Spiritual Energy.

Fortunately, the illusion of the pattern was being removed from King Qingshan's body bit by bit.

Xiao Mu was extremely cautious, trying hard to maintain his strength. He was afraid that the pattern would be torn and a part of it would remain in King Qingshan's body. This could lead to trouble.

Luckily, such a situation did not occur. As time passed, the illusion of the pattern was eventually completely removed from King Qingshan's body by Xiao Mu.

Crack!

Xiao Mu raised the Peach Wood Sword and made a direct slash at the Illusion of the pattern.

"Arr..."

The Illusion of the pattern seemed to issue a miserable howl before scattering into smoke.
