Chapter 134: Chapter 119 Can’t Suppress

They locked eyes for two seconds before Xu Yuan suddenly let out a sneer.

Some true talents from great sects were like this, revered by those around them because of their innate abilities, never producing or managing anything, needing only to cultivate diligently under the protection of their sect elders.

When they went out for training, they always carried an air of purity, untouched by the dust of the world.

Ran Qingmo was like this, and now it seemed Tianyan was much the same.

They had some experience, but it was not enough to form a strategy capable of handling all situations.

In the outside world, these talents could count on their own formidable strength; almost no one would dare to disrespect them. Now, however, after their cultivation plummeted in the Illusionary Realm, just a bit of teasing and sarcasm would reveal their character flaws.

They were not even as good as the little ice block at the beginning.

At least the little ice block wouldn’t get frustrated and lose their temper.

Suppressing some doubts in his heart, Xu Yuan temporarily left Tianyan, who was closing her eyes to regulate her breath, and walked toward the altar in the inner hall of the transfer hall.

Using Origin Qi, he casually pulled over a meditation cushion to sit beside Tianyan, smiling squint-eyed at the girl whose cheeks were flush:

"Little sister..."

"I am older than you," Tianyan didn’t like this nickname.

Xu Yuan’s gaze was unabashedly fixed on her, "Oh? Then how about you change into an ’elder sister’ for me to see?"

Tianyan noticed the way he looked at her, fell silent for a second, her tone clear and cold:

"Vulgar."

Her expression was very cold, somewhat resembling the little ice block from before. Unfortunately, the enticing flush on her face made her look as though she was playing hard to get.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan laughed:

"Vulgar? Don’t be so hasty. Maybe in a little while you won’t be able to restrain yourself and will end up begging me, no?"

"..."

The girl was stunned for a moment, her blush deepening:

"You can only take pleasure in outwitting me with words in this Illusionary Realm."

Xu Yuan looked at Tianyan’s continuously heaving chest, chuckled lightly:

"Little sister, your ability to control your emotions seems to be lacking, huh? And here I thought you were a Primordial."

"Shut up."

"Hehe...."

Xu Yuan smiled, preparing to continue provoking Tianyan, "You’ve followed me for so many days, I’m constantly worried that you’ll kill me in the next second. Now that we’re in the Illusionary Realm, you don’t even let me speak. Isn’t that a bit too domineering..."

"Xu Changtian."

Tianyan took a deep breath and called out softly, interrupting him.

Xu Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

Tianyan’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she stared at him, her words measured:

"You’ve been disturbing my meditation, what is your intention?"

"...."

Xu Yuan’s eyes briefly hardened, but then he shrugged and said with a direct smile:

"Since you’ve already figured it out, why ask me?"

Tianyan’s golden eyes held a hint of mockery:

"Your body is at least that of a Third Grade Great Master. Are you actually afraid of me, a mere Fourth Grade Integration Body?"

Xuan Yuan shrugged nonchalantly, speaking without any baggage:

"Can’t help it, you’re too strong. The techniques of the Yantian Art are too tricky; I have to be careful."

Although they were now in the same boat, Xu Yuan preferred to see a Tianyan who was half-dead rather than fully alive.

He had earlier taken "interest" by piercing her left shoulder with the blood marrow drill because he noticed that Tianyan now needed to use both hands to employ the Heavenly Word Mantra, so he had preemptively disabled one of her hands as a precaution.

But from the conversation just now, Tianyan had actually been fighting him while enduring the Enchantress Divine Flower and the Heavenly Seductive Poison.

This made the situation even more serious.

Xu Yuan was always very clear about his self-awareness.

He wasn’t an unrivaled genius like Xu Changge and the main characters of the story, who were invincible among their peers even at Seventh Grade, let alone with the current Third Grade cultivation of this body.

Even though his body’s cultivation was only that of a Third Grade Great Master in the Illusionary Realm, he was unable to use his cultivation technique and was unaccustomed to the sudden increase in power; being able to exert a mere thirty to forty percent of the abilities of this body would be pushing it.

While Tianyan was only a Fourth Grade Integration Body, she had previously been a Primordial.

Moreover, as a woman who could stand her ground against a First Grade Mortal Transcendence while still at Primordial, Tianyan was unmistakably a peerless genius like Xu Changge and Qin Mo.

Xu Yuan was genuinely scared that Tianyan would fully recover her powers and be able to kill him across grades.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan suddenly felt very craven.

A transmigrator such as himself, who couldn’t surpass grades, was now even worried about being surpassed and killed by someone else.

After a few silent breaths,

Tianyan’s beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, she took a couple of short breaths, exhaling fragrantly:

"I think... you could have a bit more confidence in yourself."

Because of the poison, her glance carried a hint of Su Meimo’s charm, though it was unfortunately a size too small.

Xu Yuan straightforwardly shook his head:

"I don’t want what you think, I want what I think. This matter is non-negotiable."

Tianyan looked at Xu Yuan for several breaths, took a deep breath, and also held her ground:

"Xu Changtian, if you still want to get out of here, I must first remove the Enchantress Divine Flower and that woman’s seductive poison. We are supposed to cooperate, not be subordinate to one another."

"So there’s nothing to discuss then?" Xu Yuan’s eyes narrowed.

"That’s the bottom line," Tianyan’s gaze was equally fixed on Xu Yuan.

After staring at each other for several breaths,

Xu Yuan suddenly nodded:

"Fine."

Then standing up abruptly, his will-spirit surged forth to lock onto Tianyan, and he started to condense the blood marrow drill towards Tianyan’s head with his raised hand.

At the same time,

Blood-red flames spontaneously erupted around Tianyan’s meditating mat, cutting off all her paths of retreat!

Xu Yuan’s gaze bore into Tianyan, the blood-colored bone spike spiraling in the palm of his hand almost touching Tianyan’s forehead.

After a quiet breath,

Xu Yuan articulated each word,

"I’m asking you one more time, can we discuss this matter, or not?"

"...." Tianyan.

Silence.

The vast hall of transference, so quiet that only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

Xu Yuan’s expression was calm.

Tianyan was also staring at him, her red lips slightly parted:

"I can’t agree to your request..."

"Sigh....."

Xu Yuan let out a sigh.

Then,

"Boom!!"

Before Tianyan’s words had finished, the bone spike in Xu Yuan’s palm instantly shot out.

The sharp blood-colored spiral bone spike pierced directly into the brow of the girl in front of him, continued through the back of her head, and finally embedded deeply into the white jade floor!

The air was silent for a second, and Xu Yuan was about to sigh.

"Waah...."

A frail coughing sound came from a hundred meters behind Xu Yuan.

"...." Xu Yuan.

He looked back.

The sight that met his eyes was a girl with golden pupils, dressed in a crimson gown, appeared a hundred meters behind him, half-kneeling on the ground with blood staining her lips, with a pool of bright red in front of her.

Not dead?

Xu Yuan frowned and took another look in front of himself.

The body of the girl who was initially pierced through the head was slowly fading away, eventually disappearing into nothingness.

Seeing this, a strange look came over Xu Yuan’s face.

His will-spirit had already confirmed that the apparition was the physical body, not an afterimage, and the feeling of the bone spike spiraling through the head was indeed transmitted back to him as real.

This Yantian Art... could it be so bizarre?

With such a trump card, no wonder Tianyan had remained composed even when trapped in that red-clad woman’s domain.

However, it seemed that the cost of using this life-replacing technique was quite heavy for Tianyan.

Of course, none of that mattered anymore.

Xu Yuan raised his hand, and the blood-colored bone spike previously embedded in the jade floor immediately flew back into his hand, once again aiming at the girl a hundred meters away, and he asked again:

"Last chance, is there anything to discuss?"

He was not joking in the slightest.

To leave this Illusionary Realm, he needed the information that Tianyan knew, but Tianyan didn’t need him.

If she completely removed the seductive poison and regained her peak strength, and if she were to suddenly launch a sneak attack, he probably wouldn’t be able to defend against it.

Although this place was an Illusionary Realm, given Tianyan’s fear of death, dying here would most likely mean the end of one’s soul in the outside world too.

This matter concerned his life; there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

"...."

The blush on Tianyan’s beautiful face had already spread, and even a hint of dizziness appeared in her golden eyes, her breaths were faintly accompanied by gasps.

Obviously, the life-exchanging technique from before had seriously backfired on her, causing her Origin Qi to be chaotic and nearly incapable of suppressing the Enchantress Divine Poison within her body.

"Xu.. Xu Changtian, you.. um... aren’t you afraid... of being trapped to death here?"

Xu Yuan said in a low voice:

"I am afraid, but I am more afraid of being directly killed by your sneak attack here. If I’m trapped, my father can think of a way out. If I die here, I might really be dead."

Tianyan looked at Xu Yuan, her voice a bit urgent and with a slight panting:

"I.. I have never.. never hurt you!"

Xu Yuan chuckled lowly:

"But I’ve heard that Jiatiange has only two attitudes towards those who can’t be predicted: to kill or to recruit."

"..." Tianyan was silent.

She thought of the Saint remnant soul that could use the Heavenly Word Mantra.

Traitor.

Seeing Tianyan no longer speaking, Xu Yuan lifted the blood marrow drill in the palm of his hand, smiling and said:

"The Yantian Art, as Heaven’s Watchtower Master’s Cultivation Technique, is indeed profound. I wonder how many more times you can use the move you just did?"

Tianyan remained silent.

Xu Yuan smiled, spoke softly:

"I’ll give you ten seconds for a final consideration."

"Not.. um... no need..."

The girl clenched her teeth and stood up, her slender, straight legs fitting tightly together:

"I, I agree..."

Upon hearing her words, Xu Yuan casually squeezed, dissolving the blood marrow drill, and with a step forward, he swiftly moved close to Tianyan, looking at the girl with a beaming smile:

"Wouldn’t it have been better if you were like this from the start? Tell me your plan."

Tianyan didn’t speak immediately, silent for a few moments, then suddenly said:

"Right now, I... can barely suppress it anymore."

"What?"

"The poison of the Enchantress Divine Flower and the seductive poison!"

"Oh... you see, I just said you might be asking me for help in a bit."

"...."

Tianyan gasped several times:

"Stop... stop wasting time, help me."

"......"

The air suddenly became quiet,

After a pause, Xu Yuan spoke with slight hesitation:

"How... do you plan for me to help?"

Tianyan bit her lip, her seductive eyes giving him a fiery glare:

"Don’t be so vulgar! Use.. use Origin Qi, help me... help me clear my meridians, my... my body’s Origin Qi is too chaotic to operate, help me suppress the Origin Qi."

Xu Yuan, upon hearing this, understood, and he didn’t refuse.

He summoned a cushion of Origin Qi with a wave of his hand, gesturing for Tianyan to sit down.

Tianyan, with her cheeks flushed, silently sat down.

Xu Yuan sat cross-legged on the jade ground behind Tianyan, raised his hand and gently placed it on the girl’s back, feeling the heat of her body temperature as he was about to manipulate the Origin Qi...

"Mmm..."

"......" Xu Yuan.
