Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
RUMBLE!
A loud rumbling sound echoed out, and Xuanyuan Wanrong’s clone returned. She emanated a great murderous aura and attacked Xu Que!
This time, she didn’t speak and wore an ice-cold look. Her thin fingers shone brightly as she cast a powerful Magic Art that instantly froze the world’s Spiritual Qi. A cold gale swept the land. It froze everything in its path as it went after Xu Que.
“He, he, it seems as if I have guessed correctly,” Xu Que grinned and clasped his hands behind his back calmly.
In the next moment, a golden radiance emanated from his feet, and he waved his leg suddenly.
BANG!
The chilly wind and frost were instantly extinguished and shattered.
This was his Act-Tough King’s Leg, and he consumed 100,000 Acting Tough Points to use it.
It didn’t just extinguish the Magic Art of Xuanyuan Wanrong’s clone. Its power continued proceeding onward like a blade that wouldn’t ever stop. It flew onward and destroyed everything in its path.
Xuanyuan Wanrong’s clone was immediately destroyed, torn apart by explosive force. Her body was twisted and deformed before it disappeared, but the power of the Act-Tough King’s Leg wasn’t exhausted yet. It continued onward until it hit a giant tree and split it open.
RUMBLE!
The ground quaked and everything in the vicinity became distorted, no matter if it was the trees, b.u.t.tface, Duan Jiude, or the others nearby. They had all turned from three-dimensional images into illusory images.
In the end, the loud rumble echoed and everything in the surroundings was extinguished.
Xu Que’s eyes snapped open suddenly. He was still standing on the Underground Mystery Land as if he had just arrived. Moreover, the surroundings were still filled with thick fog, while b.u.t.tface, Duan Jiude, and the others were looking at him with surprise and shaking him.
“F*ck! You have finally woken up. Lad, what happened to you a while ago?” Upon seeing that Xu Que had opened his eyes, b.u.t.tface questioned him promptly.
Xu Que shook his head, “I fell into an illusion by mistake, but I have broken it.”
Everything that had appeared a while ago had been just an illusion, and it was the same for the blood smell mentioned by b.u.t.tface. Everything seemed fishy from that moment onward.
But since everything seemed so realistic, Xu Que had a hard time coming back to his senses. It was only after he had hit Xuanyuan Wanrong’s clone and sent her flying that he realized that everything that occurred in his fantasy had been outrageous.
This was why he suddenly came back to his senses. He wouldn’t be a match for Xuanyuan Wanrong unless he was in a fantasy. He wouldn’t even be able to contend against her clone.
The only explanation for the illusion was that he was either in a dream or everything was fake.
In the end, he had used a kick to get out of the situation. He used the Act-Tough King’s Leg that was able to deal with Restriction and Formation Spells, and the scenery was shattered instantly. It was also the case for Xuanyuan Wanrong’s clone. She had also disappeared.
In the end, everything was just an illusion.
“An illusion? What happened? We have entered here together, so why are you the only one who fell into an illusion?” Duan Jiude asked in surprise.
“Are there any restriction spells hidden on the ground?” Mo Junchen lowered his head to observe the vicinity, but he didn’t discover anything.
“Lad, what appeared in the illusion? A while ago, I detected that something was amiss with you. You have been in a daze since you landed here, and you didn’t speak no matter how much we called you. I have almost fed you feces to save you,” b.u.t.tface spoke curiously.
“He, he, if you ever mention feces in front of me again, I will surely roast you and make a stew out of you,” Xu Que glared at b.u.t.tface and sneered coldly as he spoke.
“F*ck! I wanted to do it out of the kindness of my heart, yet you… Huh, hold on! Did you smell something? It seems like a fresh blood smell again,” the irritated b.u.t.tface twitched his nose suddenly and spoke in surprise.
As those words echoed out, Mo Junchen, Duan Jiude, and Liu Jingning looked at the surroundings, while Xu Que’s expression changed drastically. He seemed dumbfounded!
“Those words sounded too familiar!
“A while ago, b.u.t.tface had stated them in the illusion. So, why did this occur once again?
“Hold on! Could it be that it wasn’t an illusion, but precognition?”
Xu Que opened his eyes wide, and his pupils contracted slightly.
If it was really precognition, then b.u.t.tface would flee now, and he would still shout that he smelt a familiar odor, while the old b*stard Duan Jiude would also follow him and quickly escape.
“F*ck! Lad, you are bleeding.”
However, what Xu Que was worried about didn’t occur. b.u.t.tface didn’t escape. Instead, he looked at Xu Que and shouted with a surprised look plastered on his face.
Duan Jiude, Liu Jingning, and the others also looked in surprise at Xu Que. They found this unbelievable!
“I’m bleeding?” Xu Que was also dumbfounded. He didn’t detect that he had sustained any injuries.
But, the next moment, he felt an intense pain that emanated from his forehead and spread to his whole body.
It was at this moment that Xu Que detected that a warm liquid was flowing down his face slowly. He had sustained injuries, but he just didn’t detect them a while ago because he didn’t feel any pain.
But now, he felt intense pain, as if his body was being corroded by something, and something thing was worming its way through his body.
“F*ck! System, hurry up and activate my recovery ability,” Xu Que summoned the System and shouted to himself.
He was still feeling muddle-headed. He had no idea when he had sustained injuries or what had attacked him on the sly.
DING! “After inspection, it has been determined that the host didn’t sustain any injuries. It isn’t recommended to waste Acting Tough Points and use the recovery ability,” the System’s notification reverberated.
Xu Que was dumbfounded. “I didn’t sustain any injuries?
“I didn’t sustain any injuries? How is this possible?
“Didn’t you hear them say that I’m bleeding?”
HISS!
All of a sudden, Xu Que sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Could it be that I’m still in the illusion, and I haven’t come out of it?”
As Xu Que thought about this matter, he looked at b.u.t.tface and raised his leg to kick him.
“F*ck! Lad, what do you want to do? Your bleeding has nothing to do with me,” b.u.t.tface yelled and jumped with fright, quickly dodging the kick.
Duan Jiude, Liu Jingning, and Mo Junchen wore odd expressions. It seemed as if they couldn’t understand what had happened to Xu Que.
“Little brat, what has happened to you?” Liu Jingning asked in a soft voice, worried.
Blood was flowing down Xu Que’s face, and golden blood flowed slowly out of his eyes. It streaked across his cheeks and dripped on the ground. Moreover, Xu Que still wanted to attack b.u.t.tface suddenly, and everything seemed abnormal.
“Something is amiss. Faction Leader Xu’s life force is disappearing quickly,” Mo Junchen spoke in surprise because he had detected that something wasn’t right about Xu Que’s current condition.
Xu Que came back to his senses. He wasn’t now in an illusion, and everything in front of his eyes was real.
“Why did he start bleeding in an inexplicable way? Why did the System’s inspection determine that he wasn’t injured? Moreover, even his body’s life force was disappearing, wasn’t it?
“This is…what is happening?”
Xu Que was confused. He had never been so confused and unaware of his situation.
“System, inspect clearly and quickly what kind of issue has arisen in my body?” Xu Que was forced to question the System again.
This time, the System replied quickly. DING! “After inspection, it was determined that the host’s Vital Force is being constricted by a certain artifact that contains the power of Heaven Way’s laws. The host has been affected by it, and your life span has been consumed greatly because of it. Your remaining life span is just 40 days.”
“What?” Upon hearing this, Xu Que opened his eyes wide.
“His remaining life span was just 40 days?
“Nine days had elapsed since he entered this land, and, if the remaining 40 days were added to it, then didn’t everything conform to the child’s prophecy? He would die in 49 days!
“What is happening?”
Xu Que felt helpless and confused. When did he get constricted by an artifact? Moreover, he was still affected by the power of the Heaven Way’s laws… That wasn’t right, hold on!
All of a sudden, an idea ran across Xu Que’s mind, and he figured out the answer. “Will Xuanyuan Wanrong die?”
