Chapter 505 – Between the Real and Illusory Flames

Chapter 505 – Between the Real and Illusory Flames

The deep grass was quiet. Within the dense vines and thorns, even if a wild boar were to rush through, it would probably lose a layer of skin.

A black-robed figure serenely walked through the grass. His aura was thoroughly restrained and his steps were silent, as if he were a shadow hovering across the ground. Without any fluctuations of strength, he seemed like a peacefully flowing river. Wherever he went, thorns and grass would bend over, allowing him passage through.

Suddenly, the black-robed figure furrowed his eyebrows. He slowly looked up and revealed a calm appearance. This person was Qin Yu, and his voice was a little curious as he asked, “I really cannot imagine, just how did you find me?”

The grass in front was pushed flat to the ground. Zuo Lanyue walked out, “I am also curious, just how Brother Yao managed to find me.”

Qin Yu shook his head, “It looks like fellow daoist Zuo isn’t prepared to tell me.”

Zuo Lanyue smiled. “Everyone has their own secrets. If we can guarantee some mystery within this world, perhaps that might be for the better.”

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. “Since fellow daoist Zuo knows that I have been following behind you all this time, then you should also have guessed that the white light from yesterday didn’t harm me at all.” His voice was icy cold, “Since you know that and also dare to appear in front of me, it seems that fellow daoist Zuo has supreme confidence in yourself.”

Zuo Lanyue had a light expression. “Isn’t Brother Yao also fully confident?”

Qin Yu raised a hand, “Come!”

Zuo Lanyue revealed a ghostly look. “Brother Yao, don’t you know that I’ve made my move already?”

Hu –

Crimson flames suddenly appeared. Like torrential waves, they swept out in all directions.

But these flames had no heat. To be more accurate, it was only an image, like illusions.

Still, the weeds, thorns, and grass began to actually burn. Without making any sound, they were peacefully reduced to ashes.

Qin Yu was placed within these marvelous flames that were both real and illusionary. After a moment of confusion, he discovered how terrifying they were.

He looked up, his sharp eyes shaking. He finally realized why Zuo Lanyue possessed such confidence.

Because he really did possess the strength to roll over all!

Zuo Lanyue raised his hands high into the skies and laughed out loud, “Welcome to my world.”

These flames were an elementary world. And the world was something that only an unsurpassed existence like those at the Calamity Immortal realm had the qualifications to touch.

It was no wonder that Zuo Lanyue, even knowing that Qin Yu had deeply hidden his skills, still dared to attack him so recklessly. It was unknown what good fortune Zuo Lanyue had encountered, but he experienced the strength of a partial world.

At this moment, Qin Yu’s heart shook and he once again thought that he couldn’t underestimate anyone in this world. However, the person he thought of was actually Zhao Qianyun.

That person who was officially granted the title of Scion by the Demonic Path, who was known as the number one existence within the younger generation, just how strong could he be?

Because Zuo Lanyue’s fear towards him wasn’t a lie.

He really wanted to experience it!

Qin Yu sighed inwardly. This was destined to be something he would need to worry about in the future. Presently, he needed to send Zuo Lanyue away first.

These flames that were both real and illusionary possessed the might of a partial world. Even if it was only an extremely small part, it wasn’t something Qin Yu could deal with.

He didn’t fear these flames. While he didn’t possess this strange and illusionary world strength, that didn’t mean he didn’t have a way to deal with it.

Qin Yu lifted a finger and pointed forwards. Space instantly collapsed before him. Then, wrapped in a dark shroud of nothingness, a great sun arrived.

To be honest, ever since Qin Yu had obtained the little blue lamp, this was the first time he had exposed it in front of another person.

Even though he was covered in the shadow of the sun, Qin Yu’s attitude today was made clear.

Zuo Lanyue must die!

The existence of the little blue lamp was his greatest secret; he couldn’t allow it to be exposed. Even if it was a one in a million chance, Qin Yu would thoroughly strangle that possibility.

The great sun phantom faintly trembled and fluctuations were released, meeting the summoned flames.

Then, Zuo Lanyue who had believed everything was within his control, suddenly stiffened. His smile froze and shock flooded his eyes.

The flames began to extinguish. Just as quickly as they arrived, they left.

Like a burning candle that was diligently swaying around, just as it emitted a little light it was directly pinched out between two fingers.

That’s right, it was that easy.

Zuo Lanyue suffered a grievous blow. His complexion instantly paled and blood gushed out from every orifice of his head.

He knew that Qin Yu wouldn’t be easy to deal with. So, he didn’t dare to put on a front and directly summoned his strongest ability.

But he never imagined that this would be the final result.

As he looked at Qin Yu, all of his arrogance, confidence, and killing intent completely scattered. All that was left behind was confusion and fear.

Zuo Lanyue turned and fled without hesitation. Although his eyes were full of dread, he didn’t despair.

He had a great destiny upon his body. This was the reason he was able to arrive here. Throughout the years, he had encountered numerous dangers but was able to emerge safe and sound in the end.

Today would also be the same!

He couldn’t die here! He couldn’t!

Hum –

His ears thundered. It was like a million people were shouting their voices hoarse right into his ears.

The voices were billowing. Wave after wave, they were like massive grinding pans, slowly grinding him to nothing.

The pain crashed into him. Zuo Lanyue wanted to maintain consciousness, but after his elementary world was broken he had suffered a severe backlash.

His soul had been heavily wounded, so how could he resist?

One final thought appeared in Zuo Lanyue’s mind.

I really am going to die here.

Bang –

His head blew apart. Qin Yu’s eyes were icy cold as he thrust two fingers at the headless corpse. The strength of the Cosmic Seacross Bell rushed out like a frozen wave, erasing all of the corpse’s soul fluctuations.

If Zuo Lanyue wanted to kill him, he should also have been prepared to be killed instead. And Qin Yu never liked giving rise to further troubles, so he wouldn’t make the mistake of forgetting to cut out the weeds by the roots.

Zuo Lanyue’s corpse fell down amidst the ashes. This supremely confident proud son of heaven, who possessed great self-confidence and held high ambitions towards the future, had perished here like a comet flashing across the skies, disappearing after a brief moment.

Then, a surprise occurred.

The incomplete corpse on the ground began to violently twitch, as if something within it was going to drill out.

Following this, a sound that one couldn’t hear with one’s ears suddenly rang through the air. It was like a sword, capable of breaking apart the soul.

Zuo Lanyue’s corpse began to rapidly wither away, as if all of its flesh and blood were being sucked dry. A red-colored poison bug flew out from the corpse’s chest and towards Qin Yu.

What a pity, before it could approach, Qin Yu had rapidly drawn back. He didn’t dare to allow it to touch his body. In the blink of an eye, a flash of silver white light flew out from his sleeves.

Bang –

There was a hollow ringing sound as the red poison bug was struck flying away. But Qin Yu’s path of metal that he had used with all of his strength had only managed to leave a light mark on the poison bug’s surface; it hadn’t caused any actual damage.

Qin Yu’s pupils shrank. This poison bug possessed a terrifying defensive capability!

Moreover, what was even stranger was that the Cosmic Seacross Bell hadn’t sensed the soul aura of this poison bug at all, as if it weren’t alive to begin with.

This red poison bug steadied itself and its ferocious hate-filled eyes glared at Qin Yu. It turned around and flew away, soon vanishing from sight.

Qin Yu’s complexion was heavy. Since it had no soul fluctuations, where did that spiritual intelligence come from? That poison bug clearly looked at him as if it hated him to his bones.

Looking at the direction it had vanished in, Qin Yu’s mind shook. His intuition faintly told him that he had somehow stepped into a great deal of trouble.
