Chapter 253: Chapter 158: Sword Summon! Assemble! Power Up! (2)

This drop, claimed to be the Snake Ancestor’s venom that a snake demon can only use once in their lifetime, she actually has a second drop!

Ji Xueruo had no time to ponder the reason, as dozens of white snakes launched another attack on Yui Zhen from the ground.

Yui Zhen sneered coldly, "Desperate and stubborn resistance!"

He easily slashed these white snakes into pieces, but as if the snakes anticipated this, they transformed into hundreds of even smaller snakes before touching the blade.

Yui Zhen had originally fallen because of this Snake Control Skill, and he wouldn’t easily let these white snakes approach him again. The rotating blade threads formed an impenetrable fan, keeping all the small snakes at bay.

Ji Xueruo retreated a few steps in despair, and seeing this, Yui Zhen’s expression turned sinister.

But in the next moment, his smile froze. He distinctly felt a sharp pain from his ankle—the culprit was a small, entirely black snake!

In the dark cavern, it blended almost seamlessly with the surroundings, and Yui Zhen, who was constantly on guard against the white snakes, hadn’t noticed this slowly slithering black snake!

Ji Xueruo intentionally used expressions to distract me! This fool!

The Snake Ancestor’s venom was delivered into Yui Zhen’s body by the black snake. This ancient and rare poison acted extremely quickly, causing Yui Zhen to stagger backwards and then collapse, convulsing on the ground. At that moment, Yui Zhen felt as if hundreds of poisonous snakes were gnawing on his insides, draining his strength.

You Su supported himself with his sword, and Ji Xueruo hastily helped him up.

No one can truly remain steadfast; You Su’s clothes were already tattered, exposing blood-drenched flesh. He wasn’t even sure if the Power of Tai Sui could mend the missing bones and flesh. At this moment, he could only weakly lean on Ji Xueruo, and with a whispery voice, he asked:

"What does one drop mean..."

Ji Xueruo was also in shock, murmuring:

"It’s the Snake Ancestor’s venom... After the baptism, it’s the greatest protection the Snake Ancestor gives to snake demons; even the Void Realm fears it, but it has only one chance... I clearly used it to kill the eldest son, yet just now, another drop appeared!"

As she continued, her excitement grew, immersed in the joy of turning the tide once more. She held the weakened You Su tightly:

"I knew the heavens wouldn’t abandon us! We can’t die here! You must endure!"

Hearing this, You Su’s lips curled slightly as he murmured:

"Miss Ji, you’re truly the empress of the Snake Race... you’re amazing."

Utterly exhausted, he almost closed his eyes, but in the pitch darkness, he suddenly saw a figure rising slowly—

It’s Yui Zhen!

He’s not dead yet! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

At this moment, Yui Zhen was no longer the handsome figure he once was. The decaying human skin hung like paper clothes on malt candy, loosely draped over his face.

"I’m not afraid of poison..."

Yui Zhen grinned with a cackling laugh, his mouth splitting to his earlobes, revealing bright red gums. He resembled a ghost climbing out of hell, finally finding his victim.

Ji Xueruo looked in disbelief at the standing Yui Zhen, "This... how is it possible!"

"Impossible?!"

Yui Zhen burst into laughter, his stomach had already rotted into a large hole, and with his unrestrained laughter, a long string of nauseating intestines spilled out.

"Under the water god’s blessing! There’s nothing impossible!"

He lifted the intestines and stuffed them back inside, his hawk-like eyes never leaving Ji Xueruo’s face:

"Miss Ji, how should I repay you... I’m truly not interested in snakes, but letting you die just like that would be too easy..."

Yui Zhen’s voice seemed to come from the deep underworld, a frigid wind scraping across Ji Xueruo’s face, chilling her heart completely.

"Although I’m not interested in you, Mr. You... I’m very interested in him!"

"Ah!!"

You Su’s scream was heart-wrenching, almost piercing Ji Xueruo’s eardrums. She suddenly felt You Su’s body grow heavy, and as she lowered her gaze, she shockingly discovered that one of You Su’s legs had been severed on the ground, the cut smooth as if polished by a mirror.

Ji Xueruo looked at You Su’s contorted expression, too heartbroken to speak, tears like broken pearls rolling to the ground.

"Don’t cry, Miss Ji, I cut quickly, it didn’t hurt that much..."

Yui Zhen pressed his split mouth shut, with a casual wave, You Su’s other leg also fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Just missing the two hands to be finished... I like handsome young men like Mr. You the most. I’ll make him into a tortured creature, kept on a swing! Then I’ll feed him a poison that keeps him awake forever! Miss Ji, you’ve tasted him, right... it’s certainly wonderful, isn’t it? But unfortunately... he’ll be mine to enjoy alone from now on..."

Yui Zhen laughed wantonly and sinisterly, his entire face almost falling off due to his laughter.

Ji Xueruo, trembling all over, held You Su’s half body, her lips continuously quivering. She suddenly turned around to shield You Su, leaving her defenseless back to Yui Zhen.

"Overestimating oneself!"

Yui Zhen roared angrily, invisible blade threads slicing towards Ji Xueruo, intent on cutting her perfectly in half!

Yui Zhen was shocked to discover that the scene he anticipated did not appear; Ji Xueruo was actually unharmed!

Behind her, a sword with a completely dark body was shining brightly.

Time turned back two breaths ago.

You Su was held in Ji Xueruo’s embrace, the softness pressing against his face suffocating him like the despair from the outside world.

He had seen through Dream-eating Ghost’s dreams, not to mention the many illusions after entering the Jade Ring Pool. He truly felt he was the special one, as Little White Fish had said. But even being special, he still needed the chance to enter the illusion realm...

At that moment, he could do nothing but await his own death.

You Su had experienced several moments of despair, but this was the first time the silhouettes of his junior sister, master, and Miss Ji flashed in his mind like a carousel.

It seemed now, he was truly going to die...

Looking back on the past, his journey in this world felt like an illusionary dream.

He finally gave up on everything, the Mo Song Sword slipped from his hand to the ground, his heart deadened as his eyes slowly closed, but he still had a strange feeling as if he held onto something with his empty right hand...

He reached out a few times, yet grasped nothing...

You Su’s eyes suddenly widened!

An illusionary dream! He was already in the illusionary dream constructed by Hidden Earth!

That feeling was from the tightly-held hand with Miss Ji when they fell into the black pool!

He understood...he understood it all!

Yui Zhen’s mysteriously skyrocketing cultivation and extraordinary Qi control abilities, and even his body that could withstand the poison of the Snake Ancestor without dying!

All fake!

"Under the protection of the Water God! Nothing is impossible!"

Yui Zhen’s arrogant words exposed the fundamental principle of the Hidden Earth Illusion Realm!

This illusionary dream could fulfill all the dreamers’ demands! There is no such thing as impossible!

Therefore, although Ji Xueruo clearly said the Snake Ancestor’s poison had only one chance, she could still use the second drop out of thin air after shouting "One drop!"

The meticulously crafted illusion realm by Hidden Earth was extremely clever! It targeted no one specifically, but created a real world to equally satisfy everyone’s requests, so many people have been unable to extricate themselves!

Having understood this, You Su’s heart was clear; Ji Xueruo held him so tightly that her soft flesh nearly wedged between his lips and teeth. He had no time to savor the softness, just murmured with his mouth and shouted with all his strength:

"Sword, come!"

The Mo Song Sword seemed imbued with divine energy, emitted a resounding clang, and actually flew up to block Yui Zhen’s unstoppable knife threads!

Even if it instantly became soft like water, it was still cut by Mo Song Sword!

Seeing this scene, Yui Zhen gritted his teeth, even breaking a molar:

"Honestly die, it’s no disadvantage to you!"

Ji Xueruo had no idea what was happening, still held You Su tightly with her eyes closed.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

You Su patted Ji Xueruo’s shoulder; he didn’t want to be suffocated by Miss Ji before being killed by Yui Zhen.

Ji Xueruo finally came to her senses, feeling a wetness at the tip of her breast, and something repeatedly opening and closing, rubbing against it...

She hurriedly released You Su, only to find him wearing the same clear and gentle smile as when they first met, albeit with a lot of blood around his nose.

So being cut on the leg also causes a nosebleed?

"I want to fly."

Not knowing whom he was yelling at, You Su’s incomplete body indeed slowly floated in Ji Xueruo’s astonished gaze!

"Blood and flesh! Assemble!"

Following his words, Ji Xueruo’s beautiful eyes almost popped out, as You Su’s two severed legs flew up on their own and perfectly returned to their original position! Even all those chunks of flesh carved from You Su returned one by one!

You Su, looking down from above, gazed disdainfully like a tyrant at the now inhuman Yui Zhen.

He feared no longer; this was Hidden Earth’s illusion realm, the following confrontation was not about his own Profound Qi clashing, but—

A battle of imagination!

"Deep blue, add power!"
