Chapter 133: Chapter 118 Entering the Illusion (Two in One)_2

And with the perception of his will-spirit, Xu Yuan realized a problem.

Tianyan seemed to have weakened.

The leaking aura was at most around that of a Fourth Grade Integration Body, but he couldn’t be certain whether this woman was acting or not.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, Tianyan seemed to sense something and lifted her eyes to look at him.

In the vast hall, the two stared at each other from a distance in silence, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.

Xu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then turned around and ran.

"..."

Tianyan’s face flushed, and she suppressed something within herself, "You... don’t run!"

Xu Yuan ignored her and rushed toward the back hall.

Seeing this, Tianyan formed hand seals and cast the Zhen Yan of "Speed" and "Swift" on herself, then chased after him.

In their chase, Xu Yuan swiftly fled toward the back of the palace.

"Stop!"

A whisper came from behind him,

Xu Yuan suddenly felt an invisible pressure surge around him, trying to forcibly immobilize him where he stood.

The experience was somewhat novel, yet the binding force didn’t seem absolute.

Even though he couldn’t operate his cultivation technique, he could break free if he used all his strength!

As thoughts flashed through his mind, an idea sprouted from the depths of Xu Yuan’s heart.

In this Illusionary Realm, was Tianyan’s strength really not as strong as his?

"..."

Upon this realization, Xu Yuan stopped in his tracks and remained highly vigilant.

He had been relying solely on his physical prowess to run, and although Tianyan’s cultivation was not as high as his, the enhancement from the Heavenly Word Mantra allowed her to follow closely behind him.

In a blink of an eye, the young girl had closed the distance between them.

Tianyan’s cheeks bore a trace of flush similar to before, and looking at Xu Yuan who was frozen in place, she parted her lips slightly,

"You...."

Before she could finish, Xu Yuan suddenly made his move.

Active the cultivation technique he could use, a blood-colored flame instantly appeared around him.

Boosted by the surging Origin Qi within, his once small blood-colored flame, once released, spiraled and layered itself over his right arm, and he smashed a direct punch toward Tianyan’s exposed chest!

The blood flame rushing toward her brought an instant sensation of searing heat!

Tianyan slightly frowned, but there was no panic in her golden eyes, and she quickly formed a hand seal,

"Instant!"

As soon as the Zhen Yan was uttered,

Xu Yuan’s vision blurred momentarily.

As if teleporting, Tianyan moved a foot to the right, narrowly evading his punch, but the blood flames immediately scorched Tianyan’s sleeve to a charred black.

At the same time, having repositioned herself to Xu Yuan’s side, Tianyan launched an attack with the "Break" Zhen Yan against his unguarded ribs.

"Boom!!!"

A muffled explosion echoed within the vast hall.

The jade stone floor instantly shattered, and Xu Yuan crossed his arms in defense, with the blood flame instantly forming a shield around him. Still, he was blown ten yards back before he could stop himself.

Seeing this scene, Tianyan retreated with a frown, while Xu Yuan cracked a smile.

Due to the disparity in cultivation, even though she had the advantage, her counterattack only caused his arm to go numb.

In the outside world,

she was a high and mighty Second Grade Origin Initial expert, and he was just a minor Seventh Grade nobody.

But in this Illusionary Realm,

he was a Third Grade Great Master, and she was merely a Fourth Grade Integration Body.

The roles had indeed switched.

Even though he couldn’t operate his cultivation technique due to his physique, with the techniques from Blood Essence Meteoring Art, killing Tianyan shouldn’t be difficult.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan’s mind focused.

A blood marrow drill gathered in the palm of his hand.

He had previously used this very move to severely injure the story’s protagonist, but he had nearly collapsed from exhaustion after a single use.

Now that his cultivation had soared, he instantly gathered a blood marrow drill in his palm, several times larger than the previous one, with distinct bloodlines and emitting a blood light that caused trepidation.

Seeing this, Tianyan who had retreated to the edge of the hall, her pupils contracted slightly, and she suddenly spoke,

"If you... if you insist on being trapped to death here, then keep attacking!"

Her voice carried a threat, but underneath it seemed as though she was suppressing some tremor.

"..."

Xu Yuan frowned slightly, then stopped the gathering of the blood marrow drill and said with a smile,

"Trapped to death? Neither Ran Qingmo nor Old Man Luo have been pulled into this Illusionary Realm."

With something like an Illusionary Realm, one could break it themselves, or one could be awakened through outside assistance.

Even if Ran Qingmo and Old Man Luo were powerless against this type of Illusionary Realm, they could still take his body to the Imperial Capital to seek a solution from his father.

With this in mind, perhaps Tianyan really did have a way to break free from the illusion, but the gains from killing her here were clearly greater than cooperating with her.

Tianyan snorted,

"If the illusion of the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree could be so easily dispelled, then it wouldn’t be worthy of being called the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan stopped the gathering of the blood marrow drill.

He recalled the words spoken by Old Man Luo before he had entered this illusionary realm.

The Qionghua Sect was annihilated by the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree.

With this thought, Xu Yuan casually waved his hand, and a spiral of blood marrow drill shot towards Tianyan at an incredible speed.

The velocity was as swift as thunder, giving no time to react!

Witnessing this scene,

Tianyan’s beautiful eyes widened slightly, and her opulent golden pupils contracted swiftly, managing only to spit out one word:

"Shield!"

More than ten layers of bright golden light screens instantly condensed in front of the girl.

The next moment, the blood marrow drill made contact as anticipated.

At the instant of collision between the blood marrow drill and the golden light screen, streams of blood-colored and golden Origin Qi erupted violently!

In just a breath’s time, the blood marrow drill pierced through the more than ten layers of light screens, unimpededly penetrating the girl’s delicate body!

Having done all this, the bone-spike-like spiral blood marrow drill circled in the air before returning to the palm of Xu Yuan’s hand.

Xu Yuan’s lips curled slightly, and with a gentle pinch, the blood marrow drill instantly dispersed into nothingness.

"Xu Changtian..."

Tianyan, clutching her shoulder, with a flushed face glared at Xu Yuan, "What... what do you mean by this?"

She had thought she was going to die just moments ago, but the blood-colored spiral bone spike had only pierced through her shoulder.

Blood gushed out from the wound, flowing freely.

Xu Yuan glanced at her and walked towards her at a leisurely pace, smiling as he spoke:

"Just collecting a little interest. Now let’s talk about cooperation."

"...."

Tianyan bit her lip but said nothing.

The great hall was empty, and the sound of boots on the floor echoed gently.

Xu Yuan approached her and spoke softly:

"Don’t be angry, you’re the cause of all this."

As he spoke,

his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, looking down from a height at the girl with golden eyes, enunciating each word:

"I seem to recall that I never provoked Jiatiange before. If it weren’t for you following me for no reason, I would have already taken what I needed and left."

"Tianyan,

"Being trapped in this illusionary realm, I think I have more right to be angry than you do."

"..."

Tianyan’s golden eyes stared at Xu Yuan for a few breaths, then she averted her gaze and took a deep breath:

"I get it..."

Xu Yuan’s face relaxed instantly, and he patted her injured shoulder with a chuckle, "That’s more like it. We’re both in the same boat now; figuring out a way to get out together is the right path."

Tianyan’s delicate body trembled with pain as she stared at Xu Yuan, her voice trembling with adorable menace:

"Xu Changtian... you... just you wait..."

Xu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt:

"If you’re thinking of making threats, forget it. After I get out, I’ll go straight back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion. If Jiatiange has the guts to barge into my residence, you are most welcome to try."

As he said this,

Xu Yuan suddenly paused, a look of realization crossing his face, then he said with a smile,

"Ah, my apologies,

"I almost forgot that Jiatiange has become a pack of strays that can only skulk in the shadows, not daring to show their faces."

"....."

Tianyan held back the urge to smash a fist into this bastard’s face and took a deep breath,

"I... need to heal first."

Seeing her like this, Xu Yuan also reined in his smile, glanced sidelong at Tianyan’s flushed cheeks with a touch of wariness, and asked,

"Why is your face so red? Were you affected by a love potion?"

At these words, Tianyan’s fist clenched momentarily, biting down on her teeth:

"Isn’t...isn’t this from the Enchantress Divine Flower you fed me?"

"Ah?"

Xu Yuan let out a questioning sound, then came to a realization, and followed with a question:

"You can be affected by the Enchantress Divine Flower even in this illusionary realm?"

Tianyan sat down on the ground, her smooth hair scattering on the floor, as she closed her eyes:

"The Enchantress Divine Flower targets the will-spirit, of course, it’s effective."

"But isn’t the Enchantress Divine Flower devoid of any aphrodisiac effects? Were you influenced by that woman’s Heavenly Desire Battleground? I remember her battleground was also aimed at the will-spirit."

"..." Tianyan ignored him.

"Remember to tell me if you can’t hold on," he added.

"......"

After two seconds of silence,

Tianyan opened her eyes again, her look somewhat embarrassed and indignant:

"Xu Changtian, can you... can you just shut up?"
