"Yin Qi, why would I toy with you? The divine beast is on the flying ship. Why aren't you attacking the ship and instead attacking us? Are you foolish?" the leader in black cursed Yin Qi as he blocked attacks.
"You're the fool! You said you'd attack together, but you're delaying, wanting to watch us both get injured so you can benefit? You think you can devour me? I fear you'll break your teeth!" Yin Qi said with a somber face, coldly watching the three men being attacked by six puppets.
"Third brother, has this guy gone mad? Quickly think of a solution. This infernal thing is impervious to blades and spears, fire and water, feels no pain, and is unfeeling. If this continues, we'll be worn out." The second brother flung away a puppet and leaped in front of the third brother to help, urging him to find a way.
Kong Lao San hid behind his second brother, intently watching the tracking spiritual artifact. He discovered that the red dot on his artifact had disappeared. This was absolutely impossible. They had noticed the red dot on the artifact less than fifteen minutes before they entered. They had been hiding far behind, and seeing Yin Qi successfully intercept the flying ship and force it to reveal itself, they had slowly approached after the two sides began fighting. They observed that the people who disembarked from the flying ship had decent combat power, but were far inferior to the protectors from that other night. The only possibility was that they were in seclusion after receiving the spiritual rain, and this was an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack, hence they had changed their plan and revealed themselves.
But this Yin Qi, upon seeing them, had attacked them like a mad dog without a word, as if he had lost his mind!
"Sister, the people who came from behind, I think I've seen them before. During the tribulation, they were the three who faced Brother Feng!" Xiaobai, despite undergoing tribulation, had her divine sense covering a hundred-mile radius. Although her sisters were protecting her, she hadn't dared to relax. This heavenly tribulation concerned her life and death, so she couldn't afford any mistakes!
"It seems our flying ship has been targeted since then. It appears these two groups are accomplices!" Ju Yin made a connection but still had some doubts. How did they know the flying ship's whereabouts? Ever since the tribulation, they had spared no expense in activating formations to hide their tracks, yet they were still targeted. The cultivators of Tian Xing Continent were not to be underestimated.
Adversity could foster growth. With fewer cultivation resources, one would surely focus on improving one's own cultivation and combat power. Conversely, with abundant resources, cultivation would become reliant on external advancement, and one's strength would be greatly diminished!
Ju Yin and Xiaobai watched the two groups fighting below the ship. They were certainly caught in the illusion of Zhi Meng and had been affected, leading to the fight.
"Zhi Meng's illusion has improved again. The illusion activated from the moment they disembarked from the ship." Ju Yin, having experienced Zhi Meng's illusion before, was very confident in her abilities!
"Sister, this level is nothing to me!" Xiaobai said dismissively with a proud expression!
"Hehe! Alright, my Hu Hu is the most amazing!"
"Sister, you're coaxing me like a child again. Look at me, I've grown up!" Long Hu Hu puffed out his chest!
Ju Yin's face immediately darkened. Why was this smug Xiaobai showing off? She looked down at her own chest, which seemed not small either, just not as large as hers.
"Hahaha!" Long Hu Hu burst into laughter, looking at his sister's expression. So this was what Sister cared about!
Meanwhile, the two groups on the ground, locked in a fierce melee, were fighting relentlessly. Kong Lao San, seeing that Yin Qi would not let them discern anything, finally regained some rationality amidst his rage. He finally realized that they had fallen into an illusion. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Big brother, we've fallen into a trap. This is an illusion. We can't see the flying ship's location on the tracking artifact," Kong Lao Shan shouted to Kong Lao Da.
"What? It's an illusion? Then how do we break it? Third brother, hurry and think of a way. That bastard Yin Qi is too difficult to deal with." Kong Lao Da was shocked. So it was an illusion, no wonder Yin Qi was so strange. They couldn't kill him, after all, they still needed to keep this brat as a vanguard! Therefore, their fighting was restrained!
"Big brother, my second brother and I will tie down Yin Qi. You go and kill that woman in red. She must be the mastermind behind the illusion." Kong Lao San pointed at Zhi Meng, who was entangled with the puppets.
"Alright!" Kong Lao Da's aura suddenly surged, shaking off two puppets. He flew towards the woman in red.
Zhi Meng was entangled by the six puppets and could not escape. These puppets were extremely strange; even if their arms were severed, they would grow back. Seeing someone attacking from mid-air, she only had time to use her silk to ensnare a puppet and block Kong Lao Da's ferocious palm strike. This was Kong Lao Da's full-power strike. The puppet was instantly dismembered by the palm force, shattering into pieces. The residual palm force still repelled Zhi Meng a hundred paces.
What shocked Zhi Meng the most was that even though the puppet was shattered, it was still slowly crawling on the ground until it merged together, becoming a more terrifying monster with a crooked nose and a missing eye.
Zhi Meng was forced to reveal her true form, her huge forelimbs stabbing like sharp spikes at the puppets surrounding her. She attacked Kong Lao Da with her silk, attempting to cocoon him!
Kong Lao Da suddenly saw the beautiful woman in red transform into a giant spider and almost lost his composure! While dodging the attacks that resembled giant steel thorns, he shouted to his third brother.
"Third brother, this woman has turned into a spider, scaring me to death." Most of the demon beasts on Tian Xing Continent had been wiped out by the Imperial Beast Sect. His three brothers had never encountered such a powerful demon beast!
"Big brother, kill her. This is from the Zhi Meng clan, they are adept at setting up illusions. Yin Qi has fallen into an illusion." Kong Lao San recognized the spider demon beast immediately. He had seen pictures of it in ancient texts.
"Easier said than done. This demon beast's entire body is as hard as iron, there's no way to attack it." Kong Lao Da said with a distressed face. His palm techniques were like giving a massage to this five-meter-tall spider, utterly unable to harm her!
"Big brother, take this sword!" Kong Lao Er threw a sword over from a distance.
This was his Natal Magical Treasure, a sword that could shave iron.
Kong Lao Da received the sword and immediately reversed the disadvantage. The scene of being chased and beaten was overturned. Streaks of sword energy struck the spider's hard outer shell, sending sparks flying. The giant spider hissed in pain, opened its huge mouth, and spat out silk balls, white spheres that smashed towards Kong Lao Da one after another.
Kong Lao Da dodged in a flurry. This silk was poisonous. He saw that the puppets were corroded by the silk, emitting green liquid, which showed its toxicity! He was not like those inanimate objects; once contaminated, his life would be over!
The puppets, corroded by the spider's poison, merely slowed down! The other puppets that were enmeshed in cocoons wriggled inside. Clearly, the poison in the silk could not kill these puppets either! It wouldn't be long before they broke free!
Zhi Meng also knew this situation. She had to resolve this man as quickly as possible, otherwise, if she failed, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Master Xiaobai! She also hadn't expected that those who had fallen into the illusion would still have their sanity.
"Big brother, what are you dawdling for? Yin Qi is going crazy. Should I kill him?" Kong Lao Er was getting truly angry as he fought. The puppets were controlled by Yin Qi. As long as he was killed, the puppets would be disintegrated, losing their combat power!
"Alright, wait for me!" Kong Lao Da had no time to talk to his second brother. He dodged the giant spider's six legs while gathering spiritual energy, intending to deliver a fatal blow to this big creature!
Kong Lao Da used the final move of his Kong Gu Sect's Slaughtering Sword Technique. A powerful, dark sword energy struck the spider. Immediately, the spider let out a scream, shattered into pieces, and disappeared. The illusion also vanished, restoring the original scenery!
In reality, Zhi Meng, standing on the lake, spat out a mouthful of blood and weakly knelt on the water. The one in the illusion was her clone...
