Chapter 336 - 336 336 Follow Your Heart

336: Chapter 336: Follow Your Heart 336: Chapter 336: Follow Your Heart “You think you can escape?

None of you will escape.” Refining Mo coldly snorted, swinging his long blade straight toward the two of them.

“Dodge.” Illusion Fox pushed the weakened Nightmare aside, causing the blade to swish down between them into open air.

Taking advantage of this moment, Illusion Fox lashed out with her long whip towards Refining Mo, but the next scene shocked both of them.

Like a wild snake, the long whip of Illusion Fox was firmly grasped by Refining Mo’s hand.

The force of the whip was enough to shatter cement blocks, yet Refining Mo caught it effortlessly, preventing it from advancing further.

With a strong tug, Illusion Fox’s body suddenly lurched forward, wobbling.

Just then, a shadowy figure flashed by, followed by two streaks of white light—Nightmare’s twin halberds thrusting straight at Refining Mo’s neck.

Despite Nightmare’s greatly reduced Inner Strength, his superior martial skills compensated for this disadvantage.

Refining Mo lightly stepped back, loosening his grip, allowing Illusion Fox to quickly break free.

Illusion Fox let out a bark, unleashing an extremely powerful energy from within her body.

Even Nightmare, a skilled cultivator, felt somewhat terrified by it.

This energy was beyond what Illusion Fox was supposed to muster, flipping the weakened Nightmare to the ground.

“Snap.” The long whip hit the ground, creating a large crater.

Even the highly capable Refining Mo dared not confront it directly and dodged swiftly, as slight tremors ran through the ground, looking utterly terrifying.

“Illusion Fox, are you truly betraying me?

Are you sure you’ve thought this through?” As the whip thudded, Refining Mo’s face darkened immediately, he said coldly.

“I’ve thought it through, this time I will follow my heart.” After a long while, Illusion Fox spoke softly, turning her head and giving Nightmare a slight smile—it was more of a reply to Nightmare than to Refining Mo.

“You even unleashed that power, it seems you really want us to perish together,” Refining Mo hissed fiercely, a face full of ferocity and hatred.

“So what if I have?

Even if I die, I won’t let you hurt him any more.” Illusion Fox stood resolute, walking beside Nightmare and gently supporting him.

“You said so, and I have done it.

I have returned to my true self, Nightmare, do you still like it?” Illusion Fox’s voice was tender as she supported Nightmare’s body, which was nearly drained from the earlier exertion.

She placed one hand on his Dantian, slowly channeling a powerful energy into it, spreading gradually along his meridians like a long-awaited rain, making Nightmare’s complexion gradually rosy.

“Mm.” Nightmare lightly nodded, and finally, a genuine smile appeared on the melancholic face of Illusion Fox.

“I’m sorry, I’ve done so many wrong things,” Illusion Fox’s tears suddenly burst forth, her head plunging into Nightmare’s embrace.

In that moment, her heart truly regretted—previously she blindly followed Refining Mo’s commands, less brainwashed than fallen, lacking the courage to turn back.

The first time she lost Nightmare, the second time she wounded him, and this time, she chose to follow her heart.

And in Nightmare’s mind, the stubbornly confident girl returned again.

They were close friends, who endured hardships, turned against each other, and now meeting with a smile that dissolved all grievances.

They were also lovers, once intimately close, as inseparable as water mixed with milk…

Nightmare’s lips slightly curled up as he fished out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

“What is that?” Illusion Fox asked.

“Shennong Pill.” As soon as Nightmare’s voice faded, a powerful surge of Inner Strength erupted like a volcano, bursting forth.

Shennong tested hundreds of herbs, immune to all poisons, and the Shennong Pill was the essence among them, this pill was specifically requested by Nightmare from Zi Yun, now proving to be timely.

Seeing a strong killing intent, Refining Mo’s face turned instantly, a dense killing intent and ferocity surged towards him like a sea, even the usually ruthless Refining Mo unnaturally shivered at this moment.

“Refining Mo, I must kill you.” The miraculous effect of the Shennong Pill directly neutralized the powder’s effect, and Nightmare felt an endless surge of Inner Strength filling his Dantian and meridians, his skin turned bright red, he needed to vent, and Refining Mo, in front of him, was his nemesis.

“What’s going on?” Refining Mo, the old fox, noticed Nightmare’s abnormality instantly.

It was truly bewildering, he knew the effect of this powder, no cultivator could avoid it, yet Nightmare’s state had clearly returned to normal, even more intense than before.

Nightmare responded to Refining Mo’s question with his twin halberds, delivering a FATAL STRIKE filled with all his Inner Strength, stabbing towards Refining Mo’s forehead.

“Bang.” Refining Mo hastily drew his long sword to block, the pale blue ghostlight in the dark night appeared even more mysterious.

When the two weapons fiercely collided, they sparked dazzlingly.

Nightmare, as if possessed, swung his halberds violently, his speed much faster than before, momentarily pushing Refining Mo into a defensive position.

Finally, Refining Mo found a chance to counterattack, leaping up and slashing in mid-air, the blade aimed at Nightmare’s head.

In a flash, a dark shadow moved to the side; Refining Mo faintly heard something slicing through the air and turned to see, it was Illusion Fox’s long whip, like a wild snake, its tail striking directly against the blade, forcibly altering its course.

The immense power from Illusion Fox also piqued Nightmare’s curiosity; he had never seen her wield such formidable Inner Strength, which actually came from the strange stones hijacked from Hong Kong docks last time.

Initially, Illusion Fox planned to use it in the previous assassination, but in the hospital it was abandoned due to Demoness’s intervention.

“Hmph, didn’t expect you two to be together again, I should not have let you go last time,” Refining Mo viciously said, already infuriated and regretful he hadn’t finished them when he had the chance, but he hadn’t acted ruthlessly enough, allowing Nightmare to gain the strength to oppose him now.

“Now, it’s my turn to kill you.” Nightmare spoke no further, continuing his assault on Refining Mo’s vital spots, while every time Refining Mo tried to counter, he would be disrupted by Illusion Fox, unable to retaliate in time.

The pair’s coordination was as seamless as that of a professional assassin team, catching Refining Mo off guard.

As the saying goes, men and women working together harmoniously makes the task easier.

The understanding between the couple made their attacks perfectly seamless.

During the fight, Refining Mo had several near escapes, at his own expense as Nightmare also sustained several knife wounds.

As for Illusion Fox, whenever Refining Mo attempted to attack her, Nightmare would shield her with his body, taking all the injuries on her behalf.
