Chapter 300: Chapter 243: The Demonic Sword

Su Yu struggled to rise from the ground, a shocking wound as long as a foot having appeared on his waist and abdomen. However, his gasification mysterious power quickly yielded results by stopping the blood flowing from the wound.

Such pain at the wound indicated that it was real. Holding down the wound, Su Yu stretched out his right hand without uttering a word. A ball of golden thunder – thunderball – burst out of his palm and he flung it towards Chen Tianxin.

At this moment, it has already become difficult for Su Yu to distinguish between reality and illusion among the objects around him. The only thing he could feel was indescribable fear. Chen Tianxin, in his eyes, was even scarier than the man who could cast "Frozen Heaven and Earth".

The thunderball exploded with a crack upon hitting Chen Tianxin, who responded back with a mocking grin: "This too is an illusion."

His body shattered in an instant, followed by a chain reaction that caused the surrounding objects to fall apart like crushing bubbles. Su Yu suddenly realized that his wound disappeared. Could it be that everything thus far was still an illusion? Then what exactly is the truth?

This intangible fear, akin to a nightmare, would have already driven one with a weaker heart insane. Even Su Yu was unable to suppress his madness and growled, his body instigating a 50,000-volt electric shock. Thousands of strands of golden lightning burst forth as he punched out his "Wrath of Thunder".

A tremendous golden lightning, as wide as two feet and like a thunder dragon, lunged at every direction while he transformed into a "Lizard beast". Excessive amounts of vapor were ejected, forming thick clouds of smoke.

"It is useless...it is all an illusion..." Chen Tianxin smirked, his body being hit by the golden lightning before shattering into pieces again. The world was collapsing all around, along with his burst of golden lightning. Amid the madness, Su Yu faintly heard Zhou Bai’s laughter, "Tianxin, how much longer are you going to toy with him? Let’s kill him already."

"No, this guy’s willpower is uncommonly strong, and not inferior to our sixth-order powerhouses. It’s perfect having him as an opponent for testing... And don’t forget, there are quite a few terrifying sixth-order powerhouses amongst the enemies in our mission this time."

"I see, no wonder you didn’t let me kill him sooner..."

In the midst of these conversations, Su Yu suddenly let out a fierce roar, his fists collided, producing a booming sound. Then abruptly he stopped all actions and closed his eyes.

In the same instant, the surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence.

"Since this is all just an illusion, then I simply won’t look." Su Yu’s voice suddenly turned cold. At the same moment, he sent out a "Radar Wave" from the "Thunder Ring" on his right hand, capturing two authentic existences. Next, he launched "Landmine Devourer".

As he channeled all of the lightning power, producing a large amount of "Landmine Devourer" with 50,000 volts of electric shocks, two miserable screams were heard. Chen Tianxin and Zhou Bai weren’t prepared for this sudden turn of events and were immediately swallowed by the "Landmine Devourer".

With two resounding explosions, Chen Tianxin and Zhou Bai’s bodies suddenly shattered into fragments under the attack of the "Landmine Devourer". Realizing something was amiss, Su Yu noticed through the linked "Radar Wave" that life forces had appeared around them. When he opened his eyes in surprise, he saw multiple copies of Chen Tianxin and Zhou Bai, all grinning at him.

"Do you think by closing your eyes you could break my illusion? It’s too naive... My illusion is not targeting your eyes... but your will... your soul... You’re too naive, ha-ha... My illusive power is invincible..."

Grinning, Chen Tianxin burst into a fit of laughter that echoed from all directions. Each laughter, piercing Su Yu’s ears, caused him a severe headache.

"Ada, what about you? As a Category 5 life form, the power of this illusion should have no effect on you..." Clutching his head, Su Yu suddenly shouted out.

"Yes, it doesn’t... in fact, they’ve been standing still all the time..." Ada, perched on his shoulder, stuttered a bit.

"What about now?" As soon as Su Yu saw Zhou Bai striding forward with his Zhanmadao, he urgently asked Ada.

"They haven’t moved yet, both of them are still standing in their original places, laughing." Ada confirmed with certainty.

Su Yu understood immediately. The Zhou Bai who was coming towards him with a Zhanmadao was also an illusion.

"Hey... Hey hey, boy..." Zhou Bai came right in front of him, raised his blade, and began to slash downwards.

According to Ada, the Zhou Bai in front of him was just an illusion, but when the blade was about to hit him, Su Yu instinctively felt a surge of premonition and couldn’t help but raise his arm. The Golden Claw emerged.

With a"zing", sparks flew as Zhou Bai’s Zhanmadao was reflected away forcefully by the Golden Claw. At that moment, Su Yu captured something. Letting out a shriek, he lunged outward, and swiped his Golden Claw.With a furious "clang", Zhou Bai’s Zhanmadao parried the Golden Claw, but the horrifying power emanating from the Golden Claw sent Zhou Bai flying far, far away. When he hit the ground, a "plop" sound signaled his body crumbled into dust.

"This isn’t right. Zhou Bai was real in the beginning, but after he hit the ground, he became part of my illusion. Then Ada..." Su Yu’s heart skipped a beat as he quickly turned his head, only to see Ada on his shoulder crumble into dust with a "pop" sound.

Right from the start, even Ada had transformed into a part of his illusion. This could imply that Zhou Bai was real just moments ago. If he believed Ada wrong and didn’t react in the very end, he would’ve been cleaved in half by the Zhanmadao and died here.

Everything was deceiving, real or illusion, it was hard to tell. Wait, if the Ada he saw on his shoulder was an illusion, where was the real Ada?

All of a sudden, Su Yu calmed himself down. He spread his hands slightly, releasing the Landmine Devourer. From him as the source, a dazzling golden light filled an area of several feet in radius, keeping the adversaries at bay. In the meanwhile, he began to close his eyes, using his spirit and will to sense Ada’s presence.

He realized that his spirit was companioned by Ada’s. Although his spirit and will could be affected by the illusion, Ada’s couldn’t. If he could touch Ada’s spirit, he would...

Just as expected, when he calmed down and listened intently, Ada’s voice sounded within his soul, distinct and anxious.

Chen Tianxin and Zhou Bai had been standing thirty meters away from Su Yu all this time without moving. When Su Yu closed his eyes and lightning crackled around him, Chen Tianxin finally opened his mouth, whispering, "He saw through my illusion."

"Huh? That can’t be," Zhou Bai exclaimed in surprise. "How could he break it? He’s only a Level Five..."

"I thought my power was invincible... but I remembered just now. My power can’t affect Category Five Lifeforms. That’s the only weak point," Chen Tianxin sighed regretfully.

Zhou Bai laughed, "But even if he did see through, we could’ve killed him a hundred times before. If you had not wanted to use him for experimentation, my power alone could have killed him at least eight or ten times."

Chen Tianxin glanced at him and spoke indifferently, "Level Five isn’t something to be feared, but Level Six is a force to be reckoned with. I just want to find the weakness of my own power before it’s too late. This Su Yu, even at Level Five, is impressive. If he can enter Level Six, he’s going to be a terrifying foe."

"Yeah, your illusions don’t have much impact on enemies at the same level as you. They are nowhere as real and scary as when you were at Level Five," Zhou Bai said, nodding his agreement. "Now that he’s seen through your illusions, can I go ahead and kill him?"

"Go ahead," Chen Tianxin nodded.

Zhou Bai revealed a malicious grin. His right hand swept over the bracelet on his left wrist, and slowly, a massive weapon akin to a Zhanmadao, a Treasure Sword, was drawn.

"Ghost Slasher Blade... Are you excited? There’s fresh blood for you to drink, although it’s not from a powerful being. But this is only your appetizer. Soon, you’ll be drinking blood from numerous Sixth-order Powerhouses," Zhou Bai caressed the Ghost Slasher Blade. His gentle expression looked as if he was admiring a lover. He was fondly whispering praises while approaching Su Yu. The Ghost Slasher Blade seemed to possess a life of its own, as if it understood Zhou Bai’s words. A mouth appeared on the face of the blade, forming a low yet grotesque smirk.

The sight sent a shiver down the spine.

Chen Tianxin watched Zhou Bai, muttering, "This guy is frightening, integrating his power with the Treasure Weapon and creating this sentient ’Ghost Slasher Blade’... A blade that must drink fresh blood every day..."

He vividly recalled an insane incident when, in the absence of enemy or monster blood, Zhou Bai had to feed the blade with his own blood. The Ghost Slasher Blade was undoubtedly an evil sword powered by dark forces.

After escaping from the frenzied illusion, Su Yu finally figured out a way to break the spell. He released a large amount of lightning to protect himself and started to call for Ada.

His spirit was companioned by Ada’s. Soon, he could hear Ada’s anxious cries echoing deep within his soul.

"Su Yu! Su Yu! Can you hear me?" In fact, Ada had been continuously shouting in Su Yu’s soul. But Su Yu, lost in the illusion then, couldn’t hear her. Now, having calmed down and responded with full concentration, he finally heard Ada’s urgent cries.

"Follow my command and use all your power to launch the ’Wrath of Thunder’. Aim seven meters to your left front... jump back..."

From the depths of his soul came Ada’s anxious voice. Su Yu immediately channelled the power of the Golden Lightning into his Treasure Ring, "Thunder Ring", and slashed towards seven meters to his left.
