Limitless - Chapter 151: Hallucination Wolves

Up till now, Chu Yu still did not know what place this was.

He guessed that this was the Mirror World!

But a guess was just a guess and he had no way of confirming it.

It could just be an imaginary realm...

As such, he did not know if there would be any meaning or value for him to adopt these infants.

At this point, one of the infant Hallucination Wolves began to whine, it seemed like... it was hungry.

The sound was shrill but not piercing and it looked at Chu Yu with watery, beady eyes.

He was so adorable!

"Does it think that I am it's parents?"

Chu Yu was stunned, he had no idea how to take care of these infants.

At the same time, he was curious, animals did not tend to leave their young alone for extended periods of time.

At least the father or the mother... would remain behind.

At this point, from afar, an icy howl could be heard.

AROO!

That sound was filled with coldness.

Even though he did not know what happened, Chu Yu felt saddened by it.

Then he got a shock.

At this point, a figure appeared in front of him and launched an attack like a bolt of lightning.

Chu Yu’s vertical eye exploded with a ray of protective energy, but he was still sent flying over a kilometer away by a huge force.

In the process, he smashed through countless ancient trees.

In the end, he licked the back of his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He felt as if he had been hit by a speeding train, breaking many of his bones.

Bang!

A huge grey wolf appeared in front of Chu Yu.

　

It's two front claws clamped down on Chu Yu’s arm.

It opened its mouth and revealed its sharp fangs. It's icy glare was fixated on Chu Yu.

However, it was seriously injured and riddled with injuries.

The wounds were fresh and still bleeding.

Even though it exuded a powerful aura, it was already extremely weak.

"This is a misunderstanding..."

Chu Yu felt immense pain as his bones were shattered.

The huge wolf didn't speak immediately. It stared coldly at Chu Yu before saying with its last breath, "Please treat them well."

It was a lady’s voice.

After it finished speaking, it tilted to the side and fell to the ground.

Chu Yu was stunned as he looked at the fallen wolf. Only then did he realize that there was a terrible wound at its neck, it's throat had been torn!

At the same time, its abdomen was empty, all its organs... were ripped out.

Chu Yu was shocked and in complete disbelief.

How much willpower and strength did it need to return and launch the last attack of its life?

It wasn't that she didn't want to kill him, but she had no strength to do so!

Motherly love!

This was the most powerful and selfless force in the world, other than this, there was no other motivation that could allow a dying spirit to make its way back here and attack him.

When he thought of this, Chu Yu could not help but respect the huge wolf.

He lay there, using his techniques to heal himself.

He did not hate her, instead, he respected her immensely.

After some time, Chu Yu managed to climb up and bow to the wolf. He said solemnly, "Rest assured, I will definitely take good care of them."

After burying the huge wolf, Chu Yu returned to the nest of infants.

It was almost as if these infants felt something, they all began to let out mournful whines.

"Let's go, there is an ancient saying, pails are most easily broken when retrieving water and generals die on the battlefield. maybe one day, I will suffer the same fate." Chu Yu smiled bitterly, then carried this nest of infant Hallucination Wolves in his arms.

There were six of them, and they snuggled quietly in Chu Yu’s arms, quiet.

Even though they must be extremely hungry.

What spiritual animals!

Chu Yu was stunned as he began to realize how cute some of these lifeforms could be.

He persevered through the pain from his wounds. For now, his plan to kill the rest of the men would have to wait.

Right now, he had to leave this place. He did not know what had killed that huge wolf, and how far away it was.

In any case, going in the opposite direction and far away from here could not go wrong.

Yi observed Chu Yu’s every move through the screen, his expression becoming gentler and gentler. He whispered, "What a caring boy, however, if you knew how much these six infants were worth, would you still be acting the same way?"

Afterwhich, he stood up and walked towards a hidden door behind him, disappearing from sight.

The palace was quiet as the four screens continued to broadcast the various images.

Some days later.

Chu Yu’s injuries had mostly healed.

But he still hadn't walked out of this vast forest.

He still didn't know if this was the Mirror World.

However, he was sure that this was definitely not Earth!

The Earth was definitely not this big.

During this time, he had met with a few dangers. There were many powerful life forms in these forests.

Once, Chu Yu had to use the Divine Punisher Blade and the Immortal Crane Furnace just to get out.

He named the six of them Eldest Flower... all the way to Sixth Flower.

Even though the six of them were young, they were carnivorous.

And they had a humongous appetite!

The six palm sized infants had managed to eat a wild cow the size of a small mountain and weighing thousands of kilograms.

Chu Yu began to question his life. These six infants were like those slender gals on Earth who simply could not get fat, no matter how much they ate.

These six infants were very picky about food. When CHu Yu had initially given them wild beef, they did not even take a second look.

That was a Xiantian Realm life form!

When Chu Yu roasted it, he found that the meat was delicious and had a large amount of spiritual energy.

　

Chu Yu enjoyed it so much he almost wanted to swallow his tongue.

In the end, when the six of them were famished, they began to sniff at the meat and eat the roasted meat reluctantly.

However, once they started, they couldn’t stop. They looked at Chu Yu, wide eyed.

Chu Yu wanted to feed them the raw beef, but they didn’t even look at it.

This troubled Chu Yu, he looked at them, "Does your mother also grill meat for you?"

He found that completely impossible!

"You are wolves! Don’t wolves take raw meat?"

"You must stay true to your roots. If you don’t, it’s like a betrayal!"

"Can you all look a little more vicious? You are not puppies!"

"F*ck..."

In the end, Chu Yu was left with no other choice but to roast the meat and feed them.

The six infants ate to their heart’s content, and Chu Yu was in short supply of meat.

In the end, Chu Yu only managed to eat less than 1% of the meat, the rest... were eaten by the six infants.

Just like that, Chu Yu brought these six infants around the forest. Along the way, he killed many King’s Realm and below life forms, all whilst maintaining a strict course of travel.

He did not know how to go back, and he did not know what sort of place this was.

Chu Yu was determined to find out where he was.

Three months later.

Chu Yu could feel that he was well into the advanced stages of the Xiantian Realm.

There was too much spiritual energy here!

Furthermore, medicines were in abundance.

Along the way, Chu Yu had already collected a large amount of superior medicines.

He also had a few brushes with death.

After three months of growing, the six infants had grown up significantly.

Of course, this came with an increase in appetite.

Other than cultivating, Chu Yu only did one other thing, hunt for food.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Chu Yu could feel that his abilities were nearing the pinnacle of the Xiantian Realm.

His abilities were also extremely terrifying.

In such a world where death was a possibility everyday, his growth was quick.

The six Hallucination Wolves... could not longer be called little ones, they had already grown to about 70cm in height and had a shiny coat of fur.

　

The third in line, Third Flower, was the best looking, and the fiercest.

They had also begun to hunt with Chu Yu.

Almost as if it was an innate skill, the six Hallucination Wolves knew how to track their prey, get close to them, then work together to slaughter it.

Even though they were relatively weak, the average Acupoint Charging and Invigorated Meridian beast was no match for them.

However, they were still extremely picky about food. They didn’t eat the lower level life forms, merely killing them for sport noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

　

Chu Yu’s hunting targets also began to change to King’s Realm life forms.

This day, Chu Yu was lying on a huge limestone, a blade of grass in his mouth as he stared into the sky.

He murmured, "It’s been more than half a year, and I haven’t even made it out of this mountain, when will I see people? If this is really the Mirror World... how much time has passed on Earth?"

The six Hallucination Wolves lay around Chu Yu, acting as early warning guards.

Their talents also began to show.

Third Flower was the smartest, and he could even get close to Chu Yu without Chu Yu noticing.

Even though it was because Chu Yu let down his guard around them, Third Flower’s talent was undeniable.

What puzzled Chu Yu was that these superior life forms did not know how to speak.

He had tried to teach them to speak and impart the Superclass to them but to no avail.

Even though these little guys were extremely spiritual, they had no way to learn the Superclass or speak.

"Third Flower, when do you think we can get out of this damned place?" Chu Yu said lethargically.

"AROO!’

Third Flower bounded over and rubbed his head against Chu Yu’s hand.

Chu Yu placed his hand on its head and ruffled it’s fur, enjoying Third Flower’s expression.

"Ay, even if I bring you gluttons into civilization, your food source... will also be a big problem!’

Chu Yu was troubled.

At this point, Chu Yu frowned suddenly.

Third Flower also perked up and stared in the same direction.

Limitless - Chapter 150: A man of his word

"Slaughter us?" That slim youth couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Chu Yu mockingly, "Are you so confident just because you can kill a King’s Realm cultivator? Little boy, regardless of where you're from, you will die today!"

As he spoke, this youth immediately offered up a magical equipment, a huge net!

It was difficult to determine what material it was made of, but it was pristine and had a faint glimmer.

It was square shape and each side was over 100m long, and it exuded a stunning wave of suppressive aura!

The moment it was offered, the net began to move slowly through the air, then it stopped.

Immediately after!

It was as fast as lightning!

It's speed was extremely fast!

Indescribably fast.

Such a magical equipment was definitely not just a Supreme Realm magical equipment!

It covered the entire area and looked to envelope Chu Yu.

In that moment, Chu Yu felt something at his back. It was not an aura or death, but it was a restraining force

In that instant, he made a decision and stamped on the ground!

A deep crater formed instantly and he disappeared into the earth.

The large net immediately enveloped the entire area.

Chu Yu had never tried to use the Racing Sacred Art underground, but with things the way they were, he did not have the time to care so much.

He began to use the Racing Sacred Art underground, what surprised him was that it was just as effective underground!

His speed was incredibly quick!

However, this net was no ordinary net, it actually also penetrated the Earth and began to give chase!

That slim youth laughed condescendingly, "How immature, does he think he’ll be fine just by hiding in the earth? This is an Inescapable Net!"

The other cultivator laughed flatly, "I surmise that he is from a lesser place, but he met with some luck and thinks that he is the most powerful in the world."

Some of the cultivators who had caught up also joined in the laughter, "The ignorant are fearless, they don't know the power of brother Shui Ping."

"Exactly, brother Shui Ping’s Inescapable Net is a cultivator’s worst nightmare!"

"This is a True Lord Realm magical equipment, it should be all to easy to capture a Xiantian cultivator!"

"Congratulations brother Shui Ping!"

Chu Yu quickly realized that this was not a solution, the net’s speed underground was not much slower than its speed in air.

In actual fact, this was only because the person using it was not powerful enough. In the hands of a Supreme Realm cultivator, the net would be even more powerful.

The net was about to catch up with Chu Yu!

The slim youth followed the net above ground, his smile icy as he directed the Inescapable Net.

"Keep!"

He shouted.

Then, he paled as he began to use his powers.

The stress of directing a net like this was not little.

The net began to tighten!

It's speed increased.

Chu Yu was backed into a corner. Holding the replica Divine Punisher Blade in one hand, he began to use the Gluttonous Sacred Art.

Experience came from experimentation!

Abilities were forced as a result of circumstance!

In the moment Chu Yu used the Gluttonous sacred art, a terrifying wave of energy exploded from the net, changing into a stream of energy that entered Chu Yu’s body.

The Killing Days Heart Technique began to activate and his four limbs were instantly filled with a terrifying power.

This power was immense and it made Chu Yu feel like he was floating like a deity.

However, that slim youth Shui Ping did not feel good.

He screamed, then spat out a mouthful of blood. His legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground.

Then he gasped in aghast, "How is that possible?"

"What happened?"

"What happened?"

People began to ask.

Shui Ping did not reply. He steeled his limbs then tried to recall the Inescapable Net with an explosion of force.

Finally, he managed to successfully retrieve the Inescapable Net.

Yet, to his surprise and fury, the Inescapable Net in his hand was a third weaker!

"B*stard, you dare to destroy my treasure?"

Shui Ping was incredibly angry, he could not imagine what his opponent had done in order to weaken the Inescapable Net this much in such a short time.

By this time, Chu Yu had already used the Racing Sacred Art to run far away.

Soon after, this entire group had lost any sense of where Chu Yu was.

"Where did he disappear to?"

"I've lost any sense of where he is..."

"Me too!"

"Could this bugger be able to disappear into thin air?"

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Shui Ping’s expression was bad, he had suffered great losses.

This Inescapable Net was borrowed from a senior. That senior treated this net like a treasure, and he had won it during a Sect competition. He rarely took it out.

Shui Ping had begged for ages before getting it.

His senior had told him a thousand times not to show it off for fear that others may eye it.

Shui Ping had borrowed the net not to capture humans but spiritual beasts.

That senior was a person of high standing in the sect, he was one of the core disciples.

Now that something like that had happened, he had no idea how to break the news to his senior.

"How unlucky, that bugger was kinda scary."

"He had a lot of treasures, we may not have beaten him..."

Shui Ping looked coldly at the two who spoke, "The aura he emanated was merely that of a Xiantian."

"..."

Everyone was speechless, of course they knew he was just a Xiantian cultivator, they weren't stupid!

They were trying not to harm his ego, but since he did not appreciate it... it was not worth the effort!

The crowd went their own ways silently.

They had initially thought that they had caught a fat lamb that they could slaughter. They did not expect to meet a tiger. One man had his hands chopped off and two more were killed.

This team of theirs was put together at the last minute. Even though they were on cordial terms, they had no interest in continuing with this expedition after something like that happened.

Shui Ping felt extremely troubled. He did not say goodbye to anyone, choosing to sulk in this vast mountain.

He did not dare to go back!

How could he face his senior?

He wanted to hunt down some powerful beasts and sell them away in exchange for spiritual stones in order to compensate his senior for the loss.

Of course, there was no way he could compensate his senior for this loss.

But what other solution did he have?

After walking in the mountains for a few hours, he finally found a nest of spiritual beasts.

This nest of infants were like little puppies. They were grey and had a pair of huge eyes.

They looked adorable.

Shui Ping was stunned, he could not believe his eyes.

He lost his voice, "The Hallucination Wolf?"

The Hallucination Wolf was quite a reputable intermediate level spiritual beast!

A mature Hallucination Wolf could silently get close to a True Lord and injure him, even potentially mauling him to death.

This wasn’t the main reason why the Hallucination Wolf was renowned; they had another skill, treasure hunting!

It’s sense of smell was extremely strong, and it could smell treasures buried deep in the ground.

If one cultivated a Hallucination Wolf from infancy, there was a 90% chance that it would serve you. They were fiercely loyal and would never betray you.

The infant Hallucination Wolves were extremely expensive. Each one could fetch sky high prices at an auction. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

If he could take away this entire nest of Hallucination Wolves, then the money he got at an auction could not only buy one Inescapable net... he could probably have enough left over to buy two more!

In that moment, Shui Ping’s breathing became more rapid.

The infant Hallucination Wolf was weak, not much stronger than a puppy.

With his current ability, he could easily take away all these infants.

Shui Ping’s initially sullen expression morphed into a smile.

He was elated!

"Is this the profit from my misfortune?"

Shui Ping murmured to himself, then nodded vigorously.

It definitely was!

Even though the forest was rather isolated, a King’s Realm cultivator like him did not dare to use brute force to kidnap these wolves.

A mature Hallucination Wolf could kill him with a single slap.

But he was extremely lucky to be able to meet this nest of infants.

"Little b*stard, I think I must thank you. If I see you again, I will make sure you will die painlessly."

Shui Ping took a deep breath and prepared to take away the nest of infant Hallucination Wolves.

At this point, he suddenly felt a wave of death envelope him.

He shuddered slightly, then harnessed all his energy and launched an attack to his back.

However, before he could complete his motion, an intense pain radiated from his back.

An incredibly sharp blade had pierced him in his back and came out the front of his chest.

Sh*t!

Shui Ping spat out a mouthful of blood.

He felt all the energy inside him leave his body rapidly.

His smile was still frozen, but his eyes were filled with despair.

He braved the pain and looked behind. He saw a stranger behind him.

This youth was very ordinary and did not have any special characteristics.

What made him angrier and helpless was that this ordinary looking youth looked at him caringly as he turned back, "Did that hurt?"

Then, he twisted his wrist and shredded Shui Ping’s heart.

In the next moment, he withdrew the blade without hesitation and penetrated Shui Ping’s Dantian. With immense accuracy, he pierced the Golden Pill in this King’s Realm cultivator’s body..

Oh sh*t!

Now that his Golden Pill had been penetrated, boundless energy began spilling out from his body like a raging river.

"Who are you... I have no feud with... you."

Shui Ping’s every word was forced, he couldn’t accept this fact.

"I told you before, I came here to slaughter all of you! I am a man of my word."

Chu Yu replied flatly as he removed the replica Divine Punisher Blade from Shui Ping’s body

With a plonk, Shui Ping fell to the ground, his eyes still wide open.

Such divine treasures were self cleaning, even though the Divine Punisher Blade was a replica, it was still of extremely high quality. Not only did it not have any blood stain, it even glowed from the immense energy it absorbed from Shui Ping’s King’s Realm Golden Pill.

Chu Yu kept the Divine Punisher Blade, then, his gaze fell onto the nest of Hallucination Wolf infants.

"Seeing the greed in that man’s eyes, these little things must be worth quite a bit?"

As he spoke, he retrieved the Inescapable Net that he nearly destroyed, as well as a storage ring from Shui Ping’s body.

Only after keeping these items did he frown and contemplate whether or not to take these infants away.

Limitless - Chapter 149: I came to slaughter you!

The others began to launch attacks at Chu Yu, bellowing loudly.

Five to six magical equipment flew towards Chu Yu at the same time.

After chopping off the hand of the King’s Realm cultivator, Chu Yu turned and ran without hesitation.

By using the Racing Sacred Art, his speed was unfathomable.

When one pushed the limits of a powerful sacred art, the results were terrifying.

His speed was too fast!

However, Chu Yu was not flustered. He was still observing the terrain as he ran.

"Kill him!"

The people behind bellowed.

Soon after, someone offered up a long range attacking magical equipment. It was a long spear.

It radiated an ancient aura and limitless suppressive power!

This was a superior Supreme Realm weapon. It’s speed was extremely fast as it flew towards Chu Yu, aimed at pinning him to the ground.

Chu Yu dodged to the left and right, wanting to avoid the attack from the spear.

However, this spear seemed to have a mind of its own and was locked onto him.

Chu Yu could feel a chill down his spine, the aura of death enveloping him in an instant.

"Die!’

The youth who had launched the spear bellowed, and the spear gained speed. It looked like it was poised to penetrate Chu Yu’s body.

Chu Yu felt the defensive aura in his body activate, but he still felt enveloped by an aura of death.

He produced the Immortal Crane Furnace!

Dang!

A loud clang echoed out.

A large wave of force travelled through the Immortal Crane Furnace and impacted Chu Yu’s defences. Then, the aftershock caused Chu Yu to spit out a mouthful of blood.

He felt as if all his organs had shifted!

Yet, Chu Yu did not turn back. He kept the Immortal Crane Furnace and grabbed the spear which was about to fly back.

Then, he harnessed all the energy inside his acupoints and meridians, and then used the Racing Sacred Art to disappear into the mountain.

The cultivator who had thrown out the spear was stunned. Then, he bellowed, "That man has superior magical equipment!’

"Chase!’

"We can't let him get away!"

"Get that bugger!"

These men all offered their magical equipment. They stood atop the equipment, their bodies glowing, as they chased Chu YU manically.

Chu Yu kept using his Killing Days Heart Technique as he ran, absorbing the spiritual energy around him.

His heart palpitated, he still did not know what kind of test this was.

Was it strength? Intelligence? Or courage?

Or were the three stages an amalgamation of all?

Chu Yu kept running, and the group kept chasing.

The cultivator who had lost his spear was the most furious.

It wasn't because he had lost his magical equipment, but because he had lost the man!

This bugger of unknown origins was armed to the teeth with powerful equipment, and he was so crafty.

"Return my weapon!"

As this King’s Realm cultivator bellowed, he activated an ancient amulet.

The Divine Movement Amulet!

In the moment he activated the amulet, his figure vanished, his speed increasing drastically.

In the blink of an eye, he closed the distance between himself and Chu Yu.

At this point, Chu Yu turned and lowered the spear.

This movement was so swift and rapid that this man could not even react to it.

The spear sliced through the air silently and penetrated the skull of this King’s Realm cultivator.

Only then could a dull hum be heard in the air.

After Chu Yu threw the spear, he turned and continued running without hesitation.

This King’s Realm cultivator had been killed by his own spear!

His entire head was blown apart!

He died horrifically on the spot.

Everyone behind was stunned.

"Quickly, chase him down... we must kill him, we definitely cannot let him off!"

Someone bellowed, "He killed Guo Li!"

By this time, Chu Yu had vanished from their line of sight.

...…

In the Mysterious Yin World, Yi sat atop his throne as he observed the four screens in the air.

On it, the four figures were doing vastly different things.

Fatty was sneaking around, looking at a majestic mountain with greed as he murmured.

"Aiya, damn it! What a huge tomb this is! Explore... who would be so gaudy and make his own grave so attention seeking? What damned place is this? Is Master Yi that old boy playing me? This is an imaginary realm?"

Fatty frowned, conflicted.

"There must be countless treasures inside here, should I go inside to pay a visit to their ancestors? Bring them out to see the sunlight?"

"But such a huge tomb must have powerful defences, if I were to go in, I may not just suffer injuries, I may even lose my life!"

"But if I give up the opportunity to explore such a grave... wouldn't I be struck by lightning?"

Fatty paced up and down, but it was likely that he would not give up this opportunity.

Yi maintained his usual expression, he did not mind Fatty calling him an old boy. His gaze immediately shifted to the other screen.

The black robed youth was stern as he held a spear in his hand. His lips were pursed and his gaze was icy, almost like two blades, locking onto the group in front of him.

There were more than 10 cultivators in front of him, each one of them glimmered. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the light was coming from the magical equipment they had on hand.

The light was too strong. The more one looked at it, the more it seemed that the light was coming from their own bodies.

The wave of energy radiating from these men could be felt clearly, even through the screen!

These men were powerful!

"Demonic boy, we have been searching for you. We heard that you went to the village of cultivation? I see that you were trying to escape, let's see where you can run to now!"

"Yu Qiuqiu, be prepared to meet your maker!"

"Hahaha, you had an easy way out, yet you choose to fall into our grasp!"

The black robed youth did not speak. He held the spear in his hand, grit his teeth, and attacked the group.

Very quickly, he was stained with blood and injured.

However, one of the men was beheaded by his spear and two others seriously injured.

These men were slightly stunned by his power. They bellowed and began to offer up powerful magical equipment.

The moment the black robed youth saw that things were going awry, he turned and ran!

Yi’s eyes revealed his approval. He thought that this youth was pretty good.

Yi then looked to the third screen.

On it, Xu Xiaoxian had become an adorable, obedient and innocent girl. She wore a pink princess dress. Just seeing her would melt anyone’s heart.

She looked at the crowd of people pitifully, tears trickling down her eyes.

"Little girl, don't be scared, I'll help you to kill whoever bullied you!"

A bear like youth, two meters in height, pounded his chest and said.

"You? Don't make me laugh. You look just like a bear, who would be scared of you! Come girl, be obedient, let me send you home."

An impeccably dressed, handsome youth said. This man’s movements were light, but the aura he exuded was powerful!

The bear like youth glared at the impeccably dressed youth, "Liu Zhitang, do you have a death wish?"

"Zhao Haiou, don’t give me that bullsh*t. If you’re not happy, let’s have a little brawl." The impeccably dressed Liu Zhitang smiled coldly, he did not even think of the bear like Zhao Haiou as a worthy opponent.

"Go f*ck your mother!" Zhao Haiou punched. This punch was incredibly powerful, there was even a blue fire at the tip of the punch!

Blue Fire Fist!

This was one of the famous sacred arts in the Mirror World.

Even though Zhao Haiou was only a King’s Realm cultivator, the sacred art he utilized was no worse than a Supreme Realm cultivator for short brawls.

However, Liu Zhitang was composed and he produced a small gourd.

This gourd looked like it was carved from sapphire, and it radiated with a deep and distant light.

The gourd flew into the air, and released a large amount of blue water with a woosh!

That stream of water was like the Milky Way, radiating a boundless icy aura!

"Go to hell!"

Liu Zhitang bellowed.

The two men clashed once again.

Xu Xiaoxian looked nervous and afraid, "Seniors, what... what are you doing? I’m scared, can you not fight? What if you all kill each other, who will protect me? I am so scared..."

Zhang Haiou bellowed, "Little girl, don’t be scared, brother Haiou will protect you!"

Liu Zhitang laughed icily, "Bear Zhao, I think you should put on a diaper and take care of yourself.

"I will kill you!"

"Watch me!"

Xu Xiaoxian still seemed extremely nervous.

However, she was chuckling to herself: What idiots!

A smile broke out across Yi’s icily handsome face as he saw this on the screen.

He whispered, "Yu Qiuqiu, Xu Xiaoxian... I hope you all will understand why I sent you back to the Mirror World to meet your enemies..."

After which, Yi’s gaze fell to the last screen. On it, Chu Yu was running for his life.

When Yi looked a Chu Yu, his stern expression turned into a smile.

"This fella is interesting, he has battle power far greater than his cultivation level. He must have gotten a saint’s legacy as he has broken through all his acupoints and meridians... it seems that he learnt from Saint Confucius."

"Saint Confucius... it has been so long, how’ve you been?"

Yi suddenly became sullen.

Then, seeing Chu Yu behead another one of the King’s Realm cultivators chasing him, Yi’s smile became even brighter.

"I know the Racing Sacred Art too..." Yi’s tone changed, moving away from the ancient language, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

Finally, he sighed softly, "I used an incredible Sacred Art to send you into the Mirror World, I hope you will not disappoint me."

Chu Yu did not feel particularly contented, the people behind him were too scary.

Even though they were all King’s Realm cultivators, there were a few of them with superior Sacred Arts and magical equipment. This gave many of them terrifying battle power.

It was a good thing that he had seen that most of these people had entered Xiantian immediately after attaining the small circle of Acupoint Charging and Invigorated Meridian.

However, two of them, who were chasing silently behind, had broken through 70% of their acupoints and meridians!

In Chu Yu’s eyes, these were the truly scary ones.

They were in no rush, and did not activate any powerful magical equipment to give chase. They looked like a cat toying with its food, almost as if they knew they had him for sure.

One of the slim, handsome youths shouted, his smile casual, "Little boy, leave all of your treasures and legacies and tell us your origins, else, we will slaughter you."

Chu Yu spat, "If you have the ability, come for me! Stop bragging! I came to kill you!"

True Martial World - Chapter 330: Jade Maiden 18 Swords

"Yi Yun, I never expected that in my trip to the Tai Ah Divine City, my first battle would be against you, a fourteen year old child."

Feng Lin looked at Yi Yun as she slowly took her palatial gown off.

Feng Lin's body was slender and she was an elite of the Yun Long Divine Kingdom. Although she wore a tight combat attire under her palatial gown and wasn’t revealing anything provocative, the blood of the hot-blooded teenagers present started pulsating through their veins upon seeing the stripping scene.

Some of the Yun Long Divine Kingdom’s youths even started cheering loudly, shouting out Feng Lin's name.

Feng Lin was very popular in the Yun Long 72 Pagodas. She was the object of admiration for many of the male cultivators.

Feng Lin was different from Fatty Qianshui as she did not have the slightest reaction to the cheers. She was only looking at Yi Yun. At that moment, Feng Lin had already appeared in her combat attire that clung closely to her body, perfectly showcasing her relatively well-developed mature figure.

She slowly took out a broad and tall, ice-blue metal box from her interspatial ring.

There was a slender, foot-long sword hilt on the top of the ice-blue metal box.

It was a sword case.

The sword case was wider than Feng Lin's waist and it almost looked like a door. It did not match Feng Lin's figure.

Yi Yun looked carefully at the weapon, "Truly… an exotic weapon, but… you seem to be older than me by only a few years."

Yi Yun found it amusing. This bunch of elites liked to act older than they were. Just because they were a few years older, they would label others as children. However, it was likely that, as the leader of these people, this young girl was used to being a young leader and considered herself mature.

"My sword, is actually not exotic..."

As Feng Lin said that, she lightly pressed on the sword hilt as if activating a mechanism. With a soft "Ka" sound, the sword case opened and numerous small sword cases popped out of the main sword case as they split into two sides.

There were a total of 18 sword cases and they formed into a semicircle, like a peacock's tail. Every sword case had a sword hilt to it.

"Oh? This is..."

Yi Yun looked at the ice-blue, fan-shaped sword cases. These weapons seemed very gaudy.

A single person using 18 swords? Why did the people from the Yun Long Divine Kingdom like to use so many swords?

Feng Lin smiled, "My swords are different..."

As she said that, she gently pulled out a sword. This sword case was made of an unknown metal which was ice-blue in color, and so was the sword itself. The sword was about four feet long and the blade was not more than three fingers wide. On the blade, there were blue lines resembling ice cracks, making it extremely beautiful.

Feng Lin said, "Usually when I fight others, using up to my fourth sword will be enough. Today, I have to suppress my cultivation level to the early stage of the Yuan Foundation realm while fighting you. I wonder how many swords I will need? I might even need to use all of them."

As Feng Lin said that, her figure moved, and an unbelievable scene occurred. Behind Feng Lin, water vapor started concealing her, causing her figure to turn blurry, as if she was conjuring many phantom images.

After that, those phantom images suddenly turned into real bodies as they walked out one by one from behind Feng Lin. These girls were identical to Feng Lin, as if she was part of multiple births.

"Huh!?"

Yi Yun was shocked. What sort of cultivation technique was this? Cloning technique?

A person could suddenly split into so many people?

Yi Yun knew that these were not after-images formed from extreme speed but actual bodies!

Every Feng Lin was identical in terms of clothes and dressing. They all came before a fan-shaped sword case and pulled out a sword.

In a split moment, there were 9 Feng Lins standing in front of Yi Yun, each with a sword in hand.

"For this battle, let's begin with 9 swords!"

The 9 Feng Lins held up their swords and a row of flashes from the ice-blue swords' ice fragment cracks was reflected, creating a dazzling scene.

"Yi Yun, this is a water-elemental mirror-image." Cang Yan's Yuan Qi transmission rang in Yi Yun's ear.

"Oh? Water-elemental mirror image?" Yi Yun was shocked. The water-elemental laws of the five elemental laws, was a law that had multiple transformations. Different warriors would end up with completely different insights when they tried to understand the water-elemental laws.

For example, Feng Lin was currently manipulating the mirror-like properties of water.

Others would use the water-elemental healing properties, the water-elemental defensive properties, water-elemental attacks or water-elemental elixir refinement.

Every realm, when completely understood, could give rise to a top expert, or a talent many factions would woo to fill a support role.

At that moment, the 9 Feng Lins formed a circle, enclosing Yi Yun in the center.

Yi Yun knew exactly which one that was Feng Lin's actual body, but identifying which one did not have much meaning to it. The water-elemental mirror images were not used to confuse the enemy but they were used to kill.

"Jade Maiden Nine Swords Array!"

All nine Feng Lins moved together! Their motions were uniform as four swords stabbed at Yi Yun's head. Yi Yun brandished his saber, warding off the four swords. However, at that moment, from between the bodies of those four girls came another 4 sword attacks that stabbed forward like venomous snakes!

The other four girls were behind the initial four girls. They coordinated their attacks and their sword techniques were extremely precise!

Yi Yun had not yet recovered from brandishing his saber, so he was unable to do anything but use his Minute Subtlety movement technique to dodge to the side, surviving the second round of attacks.

However, at that moment, another Feng Lin came attacking out from thin air.

This Feng Lin was the real Feng Lin!

"Autumn Waters* of a Sword!"

Feng Lin's sword slashed out. In the sky, her Yuan Qi formed into the phantom image of rippling autumn waters with the setting Sun shining as the sky darkened in the golden lit sparkling autumn lakes. It was extremely beautiful.

This sword's beautiful scene was intoxicating, but Yi Yun knew that behind the beautiful scene, there was deadly killing intent!

Yi Yun gathered an amount of Yuan Qi as the phantom image of a saber mountain in the midst of a sea of blood appeared behind him, as if Ashura hell had entered the human realm. This phantom image was in deep contrast with Feng Lin's Autumn Water Sword image.

Saber Truth's 32 Words – Killing At Its Core!

Yi Yun's killing intent exploded as his saber beam was stained blood-red. Red Yuan Qi gushed out, breaking the Autumn Water Sunset in front of him apart!

"Clang!"

The saber and sword clashed, issuing a clear ring!

The strong impact made both Feng Lin and Yi Yun retreat backward. With a thought, Feng Lin used her Jade Maiden 12 Swords!

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

Another 3 female figures flew out and, with a chime from the sword cases, 3 swords flew out and entered into the hands of the 3 girls!

These 3 girls attacked at Yi Yun, sending another 3 swords stabbing right at Yi Yun's face!

At that moment, Yi Yun held his saber back. Seeing the nonstop attacks from the water-elemental mirror images, Yi Yun's eyes were filling with killing intent. He bit the tip of his tongue as he gathered Yuan Qi.

Tai Ah Sacred Technique!

Boom!

Yi Yun's Radiant Sun Qi exploded and behind him, the phantom image of the Tang Valley formed.

Yi Yun slashed with his saber, which now contained the Radiant Sun's power.

The Saber Truth's 32 Words – Reigning Supreme!

The flames burned as the pure Yang Yuan Qi surged. The sky above the arena was immediately dyed golden by the pure Yang flames, as if a Sun had fallen into the human realm!

"Peng! Peng! Peng!"

The 3 closest girls exploded in front of the Radiant Sun, turning into water vapor. Under the pure Yang flames, they instantly evaporated.

Three swords fell to the ground.

With his attack succeeding, without pause, he and his saber flew out in a beam. His target was the fan shaped sword case that was erected on the ground!

He could tell that the core of Feng Lin's Jade Maiden Sword Array was the large sword case, so Yi Yun wanted to destroy the sword case's power!

Seeing Yi Yun's actions, Feng Lin grunted coldly!

Jade Maiden Sword Array – Ten Thousand Swords Firing in Unity!

In that instant, Feng Lin's sword case shot out ten thousand beams of golden light. Each golden beam was a beam made out of Sword Qi!

The remaining 6 swords issued a clear ring as they left the scabbard and directly flew towards Yi Yun!

The six swords flew together with 10,000 sword beams!

Yi Yun constricted his pupils and quickly retreated!

There was no way to dodge such a dense amount of sword beams. As Yi Yun retreated, he brandished his saber to break the attack.

"Cha! Cha! Cha!"

The saber beam directly clashed with the sword beams while Yi Yun's protective Yuan Qi was constantly punctured by the swords!

At that moment, Feng Lin's main body attacked Yi Yun from behind.

Jade Maiden 18 Swords!

Feng Lin circulated her Yuan Qi to an extreme as 18 mirror images simultaneously appeared. Even the 3 mirror images that had previously been destroyed by Yi Yun's Radiant Sun Qi were once again recreated. As long as Feng Lin had any Yuan Qi left, she would be able to constantly create new mirror images!

Out of the 18 Feng Lins, 12 of them wielded swords while the other 6 were using their fingers as swords. A cold beam emerged out from their slender fingers that were no different from swords!

The 10,000 sword beams, together with the 18 Feng Lins, attacked Yi Yun from the front and the back!

At that moment, everyone in the audience were highly focused on the match as they held their breaths!

Yi Yun had no way of dodging. He sent his thoughts to the Purple Crystal, and activated the pure Yang spirit's energy. Immediately, all the pure Yang Qi around him rushed towards Yi Yun.

Pure Yang spirit, explode!

"Boom!"

In the Purple Crystal, what was a quietly burning pure Yang spirit now completely exploded. It was as if a Sun was born inside Yi Yun's body. By using the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, Yi Yun was able to attack in all directions! Even the phantom image of the Tang Valley behind Yi Yun exploded.

The flames burned, repelling Feng Lin's 17 mirror images and completely shattering the 10,000 sword beams.

Even so, Feng Lin's main body broke through the pure Yang burning flames, but her sword's momentum was greatly reduced.

The main body's sword flew directly at Yi Yun's heart!

"Cha!"

The sword Qi stabbed through Yi Yun's protective Yuan Qi, heavily impacting the pure Yang energy. Yi Yun flew backward, like a kite, flying diagonally out of the Divine Wilderness Stage.

Feng Lin's attack had lost all of its momentum, so she was still unable to hurt Yi Yun at all.

Yi Yun pressed his chest lightly as he adjusted his breathing and his Yuan Qi as he looked up at Feng Lin.

At that moment, Feng Lin's long hair was a mess. There were many tears on her clothes. Even with the protection of her protective Yuan Qi, her combat attire could not withstand the powerful saber Qi.

And behind her, the 17 mirror images had completely exploded into a pool of water.

Yi Yun's attack was powered by the pure Yang spirit's energy. He may have expended quite a bit of energy, but he finally managed to break Feng Lin's Jade Maiden 18 Swords Array.

Around the Divine Wilderness Stage, the audience stared on in silence as the battle was so intense noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

In comparison, the battles before were similarly intense, but they were, after all, only sword and saber attacks. There was plenty of aggression and blood, but they were not as magnificent as this.

They were unlike this battle. The gorgeous lights and the picturesque phenomenon formed in the sky was a feast for their eyes.

Autumn Waters is used to describe the limpid eyes of a maiden, coinciding with the concept of a Jade Maiden.

True Martial World - Chapter 329: Feng Lin

"Yi Yun, are you alright…?" Chu Xiaoran worriedly asked as Yi Yun came off the stage, but she quickly realized that her question made no sense.

Yi Yun looked as if he couldn't be any better. In fact, it looked like he never took part in a huge battle. He had casually loosened his muscles, warming up his body before casually defeating the fatty.

Thinking back to the battle process, Yi Yun had won far too easily. From beginning to end, he had only stepped forward once and attacked once. Besides, the weapon he used wasn't even his saber...

If one ignored the time it took for the fatty to prepare his Seven Illusion Wolf Smoke and illusion technique to bewitch Yi Yun, then it took them less than the blink of an eye to exchange blows. This was definitely the fastest Yi Yun had ever taken care of an opponent.

Chu Xiaoran did not really know what to say.

This fatty was not some nobody. He was from the Qianshui clan and this mysterious family clan's mystic technique was dreaded by countless numbers of people. In the Yun Long 72 Pagodas, this fatty should be ranked in the top 3. He had defeated Yao Dao and Yang Qian, but against Yi Yun, this fatty had suddenly transformed into a straw sack. If Chu Xiaoran had not seen the match between Yao Dao and the fatty with her own eyes, she would have never have believed that the fatty was a top expert. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

In the Elder stands, Cang Yan was stroking his chin and he was also very alarmed.

"Could this kid have specially trained his spiritual mental powers?"

Originally, he did not have any hope in Yi Yun truly defeating the fatty, because he could not conceive how Yi Yun could win. It was only because Yi Yun often surprised him pleasantly that he hoped that there would be a pleasant surprise this time. This was the unconditional trust and anticipation he had in Yi Yun.

However, not only did Yi Yun give him a pleasant surprise, it was such a ridiculously pleasant surprise that it made it hard for Cang Yan to believe it.

Though, now was not time to question Yi Yun in detail. Cang Yan stroked his chin as he suddenly recalled something. He turned his head and looked at the Yun Long Divine Kingdom Elders with great interest.

As expected, Cang Yan saw the two white-robed Yun Long Divine Kingdom Elders look like their dear sons just died. Their expressions were extremely ugly.

This made Cang Yan overjoyed. His current feelings could be described in one word: "awesome".

"Feng Lin, what are you doing!?"

One of the white-robed Yun Long Divine Kingdom Elder was fuming with anger. Especially after seeing Cang Yan's sardonic, wretched and arrogant smile, he was so angry that even his liver ached.

Letting go of the fact that Yi Yun won the teenager group competition, now he also flaunted himself in the overall group competition. Many of the Elders could not bear it any more!

"Elder Bai Yu, I do not know what happened either. Qianshui's illusions seem to be ineffective against Yi Yun." Said a girl, in a palatial attire, from the Yun Long Divine Kingdom’s participant benches. She was the leader of the Yun Long Divine Kingdom’s participants.

When they first reached the Tai Ah Divine City, this girl and the fatty in yellow had stood in the airship, looking down at all of the Tai Ah Divine City cultivators. Back then, the fatty was commenting on others while being highly spirited and vigorous.

Unexpectedly, when the real battle happened, he was nearly beaten into a retard by a fourteen year old kid with a brick.

Feng Lin found it fascinating. Even when she fought the fatty, she had to be extremely careful. She had to use the accumulation of her family heritage's "Clear Minded Curse", the fact that her cultivation level was higher than the fatty’s and the experience that she gained from fighting warriors with illusion techniques to barely beat him.

Yi Yun had nothing. How did he win?

"No matter what the reason is. I absolutely do not wish to see a loss in the next battle!" Elder Bai Yiu said unhappily.

Feng Lin took a deep breath and said, "Do not worry, Elder Bai Yu."

While Feng Lin was conversing with Bai Yu, the Tai Ah Divine City warriors in the arena were filled with high emotions!

Yi Yun's brick really allowed them to vent their frustration!

When they saw the fatty's various forms of arrogance earlier, the Tai Ah Divine City warriors had to suppress their anger, wishing they could go up and step on his fat face.

However, everyone knew that the fatty was very strong. He even defeated Yao Dao. Even Yi Yun would find it difficult, what more them.

They never expected to see the fatty jump up and down on the stage, acting smug and all, only to later be bricked down by Yi Yun. What else could be more exhilarating than that?

Therefore, the Tai Ah Divine City warriors now only wished that they could rush up to the Divine Wilderness Stage and toss Yi Yun up into the air.

In this state of excitement, the Tai Ah Divine City warriors cheers went on without any signs of abating for just a bit under 15 minutes.

Only when the referee went on stage did they slowly quieten down.

"Next match, Yun Long Divine Kingdom, who is fighting?"

The referee did not bother asking Yi Yun as Yi Yun was already standing in the middle of the Divine Wilderness Stage.

Seeing Yi Yun's calm expression while standing on the stage, the Yun Long Divine Kingdom warriors did not look too good.

"This kid must have some method of breaking through illusions. Senior Brother Qianshui isn't good at fighting. Furthermore, Yi Yun took him by surprise and made him suffer. He might not have that much of an ability, I'll go up and finish him!" A youth dressed in a red shirt said just as he was about to jump up on the Divine Wilderness Stage.

However, just as he jumped, he was pulled straight back by Feng Lin.

"Shut up!" Feng Lin suddenly boomed.

"Senior Sister, I..." The youth in red was left dazed by Feng Lin's berating.

"Do you think we haven't lost enough face? You really think Yi Yun is weak? Or do you think that you can squash him just because he's young? Do not forget that you need to suppress your cultivation level. Back then, even Jun Yue lost!"

Feng Lin's words left the youth in red speechless.

His strength was only ranked above average in this group of people, so he naturally did not dare to refute Feng Lin.

As the leader, Feng Lin had the right to decide who was to go up on stage. Feng Lin was originally considering letting their 4th or 5th rank person battle Yi Yun as they wouldn't fight too poorly.

However, now, with Elder Bai Yu's authoritative command, Feng Lin was thinking of going up herself.

This match had to finish Yi Yun off. For even if they won after letting Yi Yun go through a series of battles alone, it would be too shameful.

Before Feng Lin went on stage, she subconsciously looked at the corner of the participant benches. A pale faced youth in black sat there. His hair covered his eyes. Even when the fatty was defeated by Yi Yun, he never seemed to have any reaction.

Feng Lin took a light breath of air before she walked straight up on stage.

"I'll fight you!"

"Oh?" Yi Yun's heart thumped. In the Purple Crystal's energy vision, Yi Yun had sensed that this girl in palatial attire had surging energy.

"This girl's strength… is very strong!"

Yi Yun knew that he had easily defeated the fatty because he used trickery, thanks to the Purple Crystal.

Unfortunately, the fatty's abilities were completely countered by Yi Yun. Furthermore, Yi Yun had purposely given the fatty the false impression of "I've fallen into your illusion, you can attack me now", luring him to come closer to him. And in the moment that the fatty thought he had already won, Yi Yun beat him with one strike.

This fatty had really been badly cheated by Yi Yun.

The battle was won easily, but Yi Yun would not look down on the Yun Long Divine Kingdom warriors because of it.

Amongst the Yun Long Divine Kingdom warriors, there were people who were extremely frightening, so much that Yi Yun did not have complete confidence against them.

For example, the girl in palatial attire was not an ordinary person.

Against this girl, Yi Yun immediately retrieved his Sonic Deathblade.

True Martial World - Chapter 328: Yi Yun vs Qianshui

"Today is the overall group competition and it is also the last competition! The group champion will win ten seats! Tai Ah Divine City's fighters, Yi Yun, Chu Xiaoran! Yun Long Divine Kingdom's fighters, Bai, Feng Lin…."

On the Divine Wilderness Stage, the referee announced each and every name of the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's warriors. There was a total of fifteen names and the Yun Long Divine Kingdom crowd would loudly cheer as every name was read out. As that happened, the Tai Ah Divine City's warriors became even more solemn with every announced name.

There were just too many people left standing on the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's side for the competition.

After the referee finished announcing the names, he carried on, "Next, may the Yun Long Divine Kingdom and the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's warriors come up on stage!"

After the referee said that, the fatty dressed in yellow jumped up on stage from the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's side.

He was holding the dark gold gourd in his hand. As he raised the gourd high up, he loudly screamed. His presence was domineering!

The Yun Long Divine Kingdom audience was riled up as they started shouting back, "Qianshui! Qianshui!"

The fatty stretched out his arms and closed both his eyes. He was enjoying the cheers and screams of the audience. As a member of the Qianshui family clan, he enjoyed the infinite glory he got from allowing his surname to reverberate within the Tai Ah Divine City's arena.

The cheers lasted for a long time when they ended the fatty lowered his head slightly and looked at Yi Yun with a provocative smile.

"Yi Yun, I will go up first!" Chu Xiaoran said to Yi Yun. She knew that it was impossible for her to win against fatty, but at least she could share some of Yi Yun's burden. By scouting the battle ahead, she could allow for Yi Yun to gain a better understanding of the fatty's fighting techniques.

"There is no need. I alone will be enough for this overall group competition."

Yi Yun's words stunned Chu Xiaoran, "Yi Yun, you want to fight against all of them alone?"

Yi Yun said, "Actually… Not all of them will fight. Except for a few people, the rest are just there to make the numbers and can simply be ignored."

"Eh…"

Chu Xiaoran was speechless. At that moment, Yi Yun had already reached the Divine Wilderness Stage.

"Yi Yun! Yi Yun!"

In the arena, there were also people from Tai Ah Divine City shouting for Yi Yun. Although this was the overall group competition and the hopes of the Tai Ah Divine City winning were slim they could not lose their stance, even if they lost the match. Having more people, the Tai Ah Divine City's cries managed to drown the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's cheers."

"It's useless to shout with that much strength. Although Yi Yun is not bad, his abilities will be suppressed by Qianshui and he will not be able to use them at all." a Yun Long Divine Kingdom Elder said unhappily upon seeing the Tai Ah Divine City's cheers drown out the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's cheers.

Yi Yun's strength came from his 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' and his Saber Dao.

However, fighting against Qianshui, what mattered most was the depth of one's Yuan Qi and the strength of one's spiritual mind.

There were only two ways in which Yi Yun could turn the tables. Either Yi Yun's cultivation level had to be higher than Qianshui so that he could use his thick Yuan Qi to withstand the illusion technique, or he had to have strong spiritual mental powers so that he would not be affected by the illusion technique.

And for these two conditions, the former was not even up for consideration as Yi Yun was still not at the Yuan Foundation realm, the depth of his Yuan Qi was inferior to Qianshui's.

As for spiritual mental powers, Qianshui had cultivated the Qianshui clan's mystic technique, which was a mystic technique that focused on training one's spiritual mental powers. So, his spiritual mental powers were much stronger than his peers, even more so when compared to a younger Yi Yun. Why would Yi Yun, a saber user, specifically train his spiritual mental powers?

Yi Yun's saber techniques and cultivation techniques had no effects in an illusion technique battle.

This was the reason why Qianshui was so confident in himself. No matter how peerless your saber techniques were, so what if you could conjure a Tang Valley phantom image for your 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'? Once you get lost in the illusion, none of those abilities could be used effectively.

Although Qianshui was confident, he did not underestimate Yi Yun. He took out the golden gourd from the beginning and planned to use the Seven Illusion Wolf Smoke.

"Yi Yun! You are sure to lose!"

When the referee announced the beginning of the match, the fatty immediately opened up a distance and pulled out the stopper of the golden gourd. Right after, the Seven Illusion Wolf Smoke emanated out from it. It was like a colorful cloud.

The illusion only needed an instance to activate. It was impossible to use the short time gap to attack the fatty.

"Yi Yun, preserve your mind. Do not fall under the influence of the illusion. Attack with your saber and finish off the fatty. He is not good at actual fighting, so if you were to inject the strongest combat power of the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' into your attack, just one attack alone will secure your victory!"

Cang Yan's Yuan Qi transmission rang in Yi Yun's ear. The old man's voice sounded anxious.

"Got it."

Yi Yun responded tersely. He closed his eyes as his body was slowly covered by the Seven Illusion Wolf Smoke.

"If you think closing your eyes is of any use, then you are too naive!" The fatty grinned. Between his eyebrows was a glimmering ancient mystic mark. This was the Qianshui clan's symbol and was also the source of the illusion.

Under the shimmering of the mysterious mark, the Seven Illusion Wolf Smoke completed the forming of its barrier. The Divine Wilderness Stage was completely blocked off as the fatty pushed his illusion to the extreme.

At that moment, Yi Yun still remained motionless.

The fatty did not lie. One could not withstand the Qianshui clan's illusions even with their eyes closed.

Yi Yun saw that he had arrived in the desolate wilderness. This place looked familiar and resembled Meteorite Abyss when Yi Yun was out training in the Divine Wilderness. And right in front of Yi Yun was a huge mutated Three-Eyed Spider!

This mutated Three-Eyed Spider was staring at Yi Yun with its three red eyes. Its mouth constantly dripped with saliva while its two fangs reflected a cold beam.

"Mutated Three-Eyed Spider…This is a desolate beast I have seen before. It is also a terrifying monster that I could not defeat back then. The Qianshui clan's illusions can dig up my memories of terrifying existences."

Yi Yun's spiritual mental powers and Yuan Qi were indeed weaker than the fatty's, so he was not able to shake off the influence caused by the illusion. However, Yi Yun's mind was clear, and he would not succumb to the illusion.

Actually, the fatty's illusion technique had not yet reached the ultimate realm. If so, he could easily cause his opponent to be lost in the illusion, and kills in the illusion would be reflected in reality.

However, even so, the fatty's illusion technique was still very deadly.

It was equivalent to cutting off the five senses of a warrior. Even if you knew that you were in an illusion, even if you knew everything in front of you was fake, you would not be able to do anything about it.

You would see the things in the illusion coming forth to kill you. At that moment, no matter how you resisted, you would not be able to break out of the illusion.

As for the fatty who was outside the illusion, he could attack at any time, killing him in one strike.

At that moment, Yi Yun was standing silently in the illusionary world. No matter how much the mutated Three-Eyed Spider growled, he remained motionless.

Yi Yun had opened his Purple Crystal energy vision before the fatty activated his illusion.

In the energy vision, all sorts of illusions lost their meaning. Yi Yun was able to directly see the origin of the energy flows within this world.

He clearly saw, in his energy vision, that the fatty was huddled in one corner. His energy was not strong and was weaker than Jun Yue's.

Yi Yun even saw thread-like energies flowing from the fatty's body. It was likely that these energies were responsible for conjuring up the illusions.

"The Qianshui clan's illusion technique is different from the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's illusions, but they still have the same effect."

Many thoughts flashed past Yi Yun's mind. Back when he captured the primordial herb, the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng, he had used the Purple Crystal to see through its illusions, enabling him to lock onto its position.

As for the fatty's illusion technique, it was actually slightly worse than the primordial herb's. It was completely ineffective against Yi Yun.

Yi Yun stood there without a single motion. His right hand silently pressing over his interspatial ring.

Next, he allowed the fake mutated Three-Eyed Spider to attack at him.

Phew–

The mutated Three-Eyed Spider passed right through his body and disappeared like the wind.

Seeing Yi Yun's reaction, the fatty laughed.

"I was pondering over the reason why you were so arrogant. So it is because you think that my illusions will be useless against you if you closed your eyes and remained motionless by not attacking or defending, letting the illusions attack you. It's ridiculously funny! The attacks within the illusion are indeed fake, but some attacks are real!"

The fatty laughed out loud as he took out an ax from his interspatial ring. He was not afraid to let Yi Yun hear his words as Yi Yun's five senses were being controlled by the illusion technique. Yi Yun was unable to hear a single thing.

The fatty played with his Soul Cutting Axe as he slowly walked towards Yi Yun. The ax was very short and there was an extremely hideous, ghastly face drawn on the handle.

"By falling into my illusion, you will lose your body's ability to resist. Let me use my Soul Cutting Axe to send you on your way!"

The fatty laughed. The ax could be injected with spiritual mental energy. Although he was not good at actual fighting, he could imbue a spiritual attack into his physical attack. One attack could severely injure his opponent's spiritual soul, making his opponent turn into a retard.

He purposely measured Yi Yun's neck and head with the ax, as if he was choosing his angle of attack. Attacking Yi Yun now was no different than attacking a motionless straw target.

Seeing the fatty gain complete control over the situation to the point of freely choosing the angle of his attack, the Yun Long Divine Kingdom warriors off-stage turned excited.

"Qianshui! Qianshui!"

They shouted loudly as their emotions amplified in excitement.

"Qianshui! Chop off the kid's head!"

"Qianshui! Cut him to pieces!"

Many of the Yun Long Divine Kingdom warriors were standing up due to their excitement. They were waving their arms. Some even drew their weapons and gestured motions that resembled the act of cutting off Yi Yun's head.

With the Soul Cutting Axe in hand, the fatty raised both his hands to enjoy the cheers. Following that, his eyes immediately turned cold as intense killing intent appeared in his gaze towards Yi Yun.

"Kid, don't blame this Fat Lord."

The fatty grinned as he leaped up to charge at Yi Yun!

His fat body began moving and he looked like a bouncing ball. His speed was not very fast, but there was no need for speed as his opponent could not dodge.

The fatty rushed right in front of Yi Yun and he injected spiritual mental energy into the Soul Cutting Axe, making it emit a black light. The ghastly face on the handle began to emit wailing sounds that were like a ghost crying!

At that moment, the referee in charge of this match turned nervous. He was, after all, a Tai Ah Divine City law-enforcer, so he was worried that the fatty would heavily injure Yi Yun on purpose. He was prepared to make a move at any time to save Yi Yun. This was instructed to him by Cang Yan as Cang Yan had to guard against the fatty's strange illusion techniques.

However, just as the referee was about to make his move, he was stunned. In his extreme focused spiritual perception, he suddenly noticed that Yi Yun's body was circulating immense amounts of Yuan Qi. It was as if a calm pool of spring water had suddenly transformed into a violent vortex!

At that instant, the Soul Cutting Axe's black light seemed to stall. The originally motionless Yi Yun reflected in the fatty's eyes suddenly opened both his eyes.

Yi Yun's gaze contained a hint of sneer and sinister playfulness.

What!?

The fatty's grin immediately froze. He was like a mortal who was sneaking up on a tiger and, when he raised his metal fork, the tiger suddenly woke up.

Yi Yun's right hand, which had been constantly pressing on his interspatial ring, suddenly sprang up and in his hand appeared a cold metallic brick.

Everything happened in a split second!

Yi Yun suddenly took a step forward and with his Yuan Qi exploding, the pure Yang Qi from the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' was injected into the brick. The pure Yang flames burned as the brick came crashing down at the fatty's head.

The fatty momentarily went into a daze. Although he was not good at actually fighting, as long as he was mentally prepared, he could dodge, but… Yi Yun's sudden attack had exceeded all his expectations and understandings. This resulted in Yi Yun's attack completing about half its trajectory before the fatty suddenly woke up from his daze to retreat.

However, it was already too late!

How could the fatty's speed compare with Yi Yun's?

Yi Yun quickly caught up and, like a maggot that could not be shaken, the brick hit the fatty's oily forehead!

"Peng!"

A thud boomed out and people heard the unmistakable crack of a skull fracture. The fatty's body bounced off as if it was a ball that had impacted a wall. He then flew out tens of meters before heavily crashing into a purple tungsten wall.

"Boom!"

Like the sound of a dead pig crashing down from a high height, the fatty's body was like a large pancake that slapped onto the wall. After a few seconds, his body slowly slid down to the ground.

Left behind on the purple tungsten wall were gruesome blood stains. The fatty's face was covered in blood with his eyes staring wide open. His expression was that of seeing a ghost.

Yi Yun's attack had been too sudden. The final explosive attack at the last moment was Fast! Accurate! Ruthless! It did not give the fatty any chance of dodging.

Around the Divine Wilderness Stage, the Yun Long Divine Kingdom audience were like roosters who had their necks squeezed. The cheering stopped as the cacophony of voices turned into a complete silence that resembled that of a graveyard. All of this happened in a second.

They were still maintaining their standing positions with their arms high up in the air. Their expressions were that of excitement as if they were waiting to see the mayhem that was to occur. All of that had been frozen on their faces. However, the mayhem that happened did not befall on Yi Yun, but instead, it befell the unlucky fatty.

A group of people seemed to turn into a row of standing zombies. They were silent, stiff and twisting.

The reversal had happened too fast. They had yet to understood what had actually happened.

This included the Tai Ah Divine City's warriors who were also confounded. They did not understand how Yi Yun had won. Was the fatty's illusion useless against Yi Yun? Even Yao Dao could not break through the illusions, so how was Yi Yun able to do so?

True Martial World - Chapter 327: Overall Group Match Begins

With the broken sword in hand, Yi Yun injected his spiritual energy into the sword as he stood up to obtain the memories from the sword.

He began brandishing the sword slowly, as if he was immersed in that dream-like spiritual world.

The sword-wielding man's attack that cut the bronze giant's neck was naturally much clearer than the sword scars left in the Pure Yang Sword Palace. Yi Yun just needed to recall it as it was now a clear memory in his mind.

Looking at a sword scar to learn an attack was naturally limited. But having seen the attack personally, and having the scenes of the sword attack imprinted into his mind, it was completely different. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Yi Yun slowly entered that mysterious state again. He wandered around that dream-like world and he could faintly feel that the things he had previously not understood become clearer.

So that was how it was...

Yi Yun muttered to himself. He did not know how much time had passed when suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from outside the sword tomb.

The sound of the footsteps were very soft, but they had a rhythm to it. The interval between each step was like clockwork precision. It was the footsteps of an expert.

Cang Yan...

Yi Yun knew who the owner of the footsteps was immediately.

Yi Yun was surprised that he could hear the footsteps from inside the sword tomb. It was fascinating.

This was because the sword tomb's door isolated the sword tomb from the exterior world once it was closed.

And not only could he hear the footsteps, he was even able to identify the owner of those footsteps.

"This kid still hasn't come out yet."

Outside the sword tomb, Cang Yan began talking to himself in an annoyed manner.

There were only two hours left till the beginning of the overall group match. Every time Yi Yun entered the sword tomb, he will lose track of time, requiring Cang Yan to remind him.

But, Cang Yan was afraid of disturbing Yi Yun. Warriors were most afraid of being disturbed when they were cultivating.

Just as Cang Yan was looking at the hourglass, the sword tomb's door suddenly opened.

Yi Yun appeared by the door, "The overall group matches are beginning?"

Yi Yun was able to hear the words Cang Yan was saying to himself from inside the sword tomb.

Cang Yan was stumped for a while before saying snappily, "You sure are on time, you seemed to be in the right place to catch that. Almost everyone is at the arena now. There are still two hours left. You can still meditate and rest for a while to adjust your condition. Your opponent today is very strong, extremely strong!"

Cang Yan used two consecutive "strong" words to describe the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's overall group match opponent.

"This old man doesn't expect you to become the champion, and I only want you to fight to show our Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's forceful stance, lest those sons-of-bi*ches continue being so complacent in front of me!"

Cang Yan looked pissed. He was in a bad mood after those two white-robed Elders nipped at him.

"I got it." Yi Yun responded tersely as if his mind was still wandering. He was still immersed in gaining insight of the Sword Intent, so he could not help it.

Seeing Yi Yun not taking it at heart, Cang Yan turned despondent, "Kid, what are you thinking? The entire Tai Ah Divine City's hopes for the overall group match are resting on your shoulders."

"Kid, let me tell you. The Yun Long Divine Kingdom's young adult group has several people who are very strong. If you can just beat any one of those strong ones, or win five consecutive matches, I will get the City Lord to give you a saber!"

Cang Yan felt that Yi Yun was like a rabbit who did not worry until it saw an eagle coming, so he decided to bait him with some attractive prizes.

"Saber?" Yi Yun was slightly stunned.

Cang Yan smiled mysteriously, "Don't be deceived by the City Lord's scholarly appearance. He actually uses a saber. And the City Lord loves to collect all sorts of treasured sabers. His personal arsenal is filled with great sabers. If you can win five consecutive matches, you can pick any saber!"

"The City Lord's collection?"

Yi Yun was tempted. The Sonic Deathblade he was currently using was taken from the Tai Ah Divine City's armory. Although it was a good saber, it was much worse compared to those the City Lord collected.

He already had the mysterious broken sword, and as for his saber, it was indeed normal.

If he had a good saber to help him in his battles, his combat powers would go another step further!

But...actually, the broken sword was not something that could see the light of day. Yi Yun did not dare use it easily as it was one of his absolute trump cards. Therefore, he was lacking a sword as well.

Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun glanced at Cang Yan, and grinned, "About that...Senior Cang Yan, why not give me a sword too. Elder Jian Ge likes collecting swords, right?"

Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Cang Yan's beard went diagonal with a quirk of his lips, "Kid, you sure take a yard when given an inch! You aren't even at the Yuan Foundation realm and you want to keep two sage-level weapons. Aren't you afraid people will eye them!? With your current strength, you can't even use the power of a sage-level weapon!" Cang Yan said unhappily.

But upon saying that, he changed his mind and said, "Hmph, if you win, so what if I want to give you a good sword. Don't even talk about that old kid, Jian Ge's collection, even if you want the sword in Jian Ge's hands, I'll grab it for you!"

The Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's honor was on the line for this battle. Although sage-level sabers and swords were precious, rewarding Yi Yun with them was not a big deal.

But Cang Yan knew that it was not easy for Yi Yun to beat any of those strong experts, or to win 5 consecutive matches!

If Yi Yun did well, the opponent will realize his outstanding strength and send an expert to end Yi Yun's winning streak.

With Cang Yan's guarantee, Yi Yun smiled, "Then this junior thanks Senior Cang Yan."

Seeing Yi Yun smiling, Cang Yan rolled his eyes. This kid even thanked him. Did he really think that sword and saber were already his?

Yi Yun followed Cang Yan to the arena. The overall group matches were about to begin!

Yi Yun arrived at the participant benches. Chu Xiaoran was also there. For the Tai Ah Divine City overall group matches, only Yi Yun and Chu Xiaoran had the participating qualifications.

But not much could be expected of Chu Xiaoran's strength. Basically, only Yi Yun could fight.

Glancing at his opponents, there were 15 people from the Yun Long Divine Kingdom!

Other than the weakest young adult team having lost and being eliminated previously, every person from the other groups were present from the Yun Long Divine Kingdom.

They still had their full lineup after the young adult group match?

Yi Yun was surprised and he asked Chu Xiaoran who was beside him, "Xiaoran, wasn't there a young adult match before the overall group match? Our Tai Ah Divine City's Yao Dao and Yang Qian had fought. Both of them are very strong, but they could not defeat a single person from the Yun Long Divine Kingdom?"

Upon hearing Yi Yun's question, Chu Xiaoran smiled bitterly, "The person they fought against was that fatty in yellow. He is proficient in using illusions. Yang Qian did not understand the situation and got hit with fatty's illusions, resulting in his immediate defeat."

"As for Yao Dao, he was in a better condition. He used his saber intent to break through the fatty's illusions and slashed at the fatty thrice. Although the fatty had managed to dodge the slashes, preventing damage to any of his vital parts, he was still quite injured."

"But the fatty is older than Yao Dao, and his cultivation level is higher. He used a gourd's weird smoke, called Seven Illusion Wolf Smoke. The Wolf Smoke was very weird, it could form into an illusion barrier. Within the Seven Illusion Wolf Smoke array, Yao Dao was unable to keep his mind absolutely clear, so he was eventually defeated by the fatty."

"Illusion?" Yi Yun thought for a while. He never expected that humans could use illusions as an attack.

It was not much different from the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng's powers.

Back when Yi Yun first met the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng, he had been hit by the herb's illusion and nearly fell off a cliff.

Yao Dao was a very strong saber user. Although he was inferior to Qin Haotian, Li Xiao and company, he could not be defeated so easily. A person like Yao Dao, who faithfully trained the way of the saber, would have very strong martial arts conviction.

But even so, he still succumbed to the fatty's illusion. From this, it was indeed true that the fatty was outstanding.

Yi Yun subconsciously looked towards the Yun Long Divine Kingdom's small groups and met the fatty's gaze.

The fatty was leaning on a chair with his hand supporting his chin. He was looking at Yi Yun with great interest. That gaze looked like a hunter having seen his prey.

"Really interesting."

The fatty began to laugh. Yesterday, he had met the one-armed man once again. This time, the one-armed man had offered a greater reward to get the fatty to maim Yi Yun.

The fatty was proficient in illusions, which was a spiritual mental attack. The souls of humans are very fragile, so once they get injured, they are very difficult to treat.

So whenever spiritual mental attacks were involved, it could easily hurt others, but it was also easy to have the attack reverse back at the caster.

In the illusionary world, it was not difficult to cause permanent damage to the other party's soul.

The fatty did not care who the one-armed man was, but he was swayed by the high price the one-armed man offered. Hence, he did not mind doing so. After all, the Yun Long Divine Kingdom was a rival faction of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom.

"That fatty is targeting me!"

Yi Yun frowned slightly. At that moment, the fatty's Yuan Qi voice transmission came into Yi Yun's ears, "This Fat Lord will be the first one fighting. Have you gotten any information about this Fat Lord from the babe beside you? I recommend you to gather as much intelligence as possible, if not, in the match, you might just die without knowing why."

Hearing the fatty's words, Yi Yun hesitated for a while before scrunching of his eyebrows. He gave of a helpless looks. This fatty sure felt good about himself.

"I've asked. I heard you use illusion, I'm actually quite afraid."

"Oh?"

The fatty frowned as he sat up straight. He stared at Yi Yun from a distance more than a hundred feet away.

He stared at Yi Yun for more than the time it takes for 10 breaths before suddenly laughing, "Newborn calves sure aren't afraid of tigers. Who gave you this courage?"

The fatty's cultivation level was at the peak of the mid-stages of the Yuan Foundation realm, and he was just a bit short of entering the late stages of the Yuan Foundation realm.

During the match, the fatty had to suppress his cultivation level to the early stages of the Yuan Foundation realm due to the age difference, but his illusions did not need to be suppressed. There was not much difference using illusions at the early stages of the Yuan Foundation realm.

This was also the source of the fatty's confidence.

He was not good at actual fighting, but he could prevent enemies, who were good at actual fighting, from showcasing their strength.

This was the fatty's ability.

Yi Yun could not be bothered with the fatty as he began meditating. As he digested the insights gained from the sword tomb, he adjusted his breathing, pushing his condition to its peak before the match began.

At that moment, the Tai Ah Divine City referee had walked up the Divine Wilderness Stage. The overall group matches had officially began!
