Whoosh!
A bright light from the sword suddenly flashed in the air.
The light ray penetrated the man’s illusory body but did not leave behind any traces.
“I’ve said before that it’s useless unless you continue to use your fists. However, you should be out of energy. That’s why you’re using your sword!” The illusory man’s face revealed disappointment. “I thought that a once-in-a-hundred-year genius would be outstanding. I didn’t expect you to amount to just this.”
Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows. “Storm Form!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Numerous rays of light came out of the sword and penetrated the man’s body.
The illusory man simply stood in his original position and did not hide nor dodge the attacks. “You’re stubborn, but you only have a quarter of an hour left before you’ll be sent out. Are you certain that you still want to continue wasting your time?”
Lou Qianxue looked confused.
“The Storm Form!”
Whoosh!
The sharp light that came out of the sword this time was piercingly cold.
The illusory man’s expression changed. “This stroke of the sword…”
A feeling of extreme danger suddenly surged within him.
He moved to dodge it…
However!
At the next moment…
Boom!
The Wu Jin Meteorite Iron split his body into two!
“How’s it possible?”
The illusory man exclaimed…
The next second, Lou Qianxue’s face turned cold. “Thorn Cage!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless green branches pierced through the ground and covered the whole eighth level with a murderous aura.
At the same time!
An invisible gray force, which was like vines overlapped in layers, suddenly appeared on the level as well.
Like ropes, they densely tied the upper and lower parts of the illusory man’s body.
“How did this happen?” The illusory man moaned in agony. “How’s it possible for your sword to hurt me?”
Lou Qianxue did not reply. She just flicked her fingers.
Ceng!
Two faint blue flames appeared out of thin air.
They were the source of the Abnormal Fire, the Phantom Demon Heart Fire!
The fire was even hotter than an ordinary Abnormal Fire. As if he were in purgatory, the illusory man pitifully cried.
At the same time, it seemed as if the two halves of his illusory body were being grilled.
They rapidly shrank.
“No… Impossible… How did it…”
The illusory man tried his best to stay calm, but his eyes revealed an unbearable pain. “You… What have you done? How could you trap me and make me unable to move?”
If he hadn’t been trapped, even if Lou Qianxue had the source of the Abnormal Fire, she wouldn’t be able to catch up with his speed. She would’ve been helpless.
Lou Qianxue sat cross-legged.
While taking a blood ginseng to replenish her energy, she calmly explained to the illusory man.
“When I knew that the sword and ice couldn’t hurt you, I thought of how to deal with you. Subsequently, I thought of mental strength, which is invisible and colorless like you.
“However, I reckoned that my mental strength wouldn’t be sufficient to trap you. Hence I had to use a whole sixty Mountain Splitting Fists to weaken your strength.”
“So this is the case!” The illusory man bitterly smiled and said. “I had thought that you were randomly punching! I didn’t expect everything to be in your plan! You’re indeed an exceptional genius to have thought of using mental strength to deal with the power of a soul like me. I had used decades to understand that mental strength was the same as soul power. I didn’t expect you, at such a young age, to…”
Lou Qianxue looked at him with a calm expression. “However, you were too fast. Even if I had used mental strength, I did not know whether my power was enough to trap you or not. Hence, I also used the Wu Jin Meteorite Iron to numb you. After I used numerous swords, which didn’t hurt you, you finally stopped hiding and got struck by me. That split you into two, and at the same time, I emulated the Thorn Cage and turned my mental strength into a cage. It indeed trapped you! You knew what happened following that.”
The illusory man sighed. “I didn’t expect you to create such a sophisticated plan within such a short period. Furthermore, you were patient. You implemented the plan without any haste. Looks like the once-in-a-hundred-year genius is indeed incredible! I, Qu Mobai, am utterly convinced!”
