"Know each other?" Hearing Mengqi's words, Shen Yue did not feel relieved. Instead, his heart sank. He opened his Aperture acupoints and activated his Interior. He was on full alert, ready to fight at any time.
The man in front of him was an evil spirit with a reputation far greater than his own. Even though he had been delayed in Bomi for nearly twenty years, he should be stronger than Shen Yue because his realm and strength were higher than Shen Yue's at that time.
How could such a devil be pursuing him in secret and intercepting him halfway be just acquaintances?
Looking at the elegant figure in the green robe and the man's indifferent eyes, Shen Yue felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart. He felt that the enemy was unfathomable and difficult to defeat.
Mengqi did not seem to notice his state of mind. With a faint smile, he said, "May I know which sect you are from? Could you introduce me to your fellow Taoists in the nearby areas? "
The sun was setting, and the red clouds were like fire, dyeing the green robe a little golden red. However, Mengqi's breath was dark. Not only was the light not bright, but it seemed to be absorbed, making his figure even more dark and evil.
Under such senses, Shen Yue felt even more depressed. He could smell the danger in his nose and mouth. It seemed that if he refused, the man would attack him violently.
"Hmph, as a Top Class Master Pro without crossing the Celestial Ladder, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Even if I can't beat him, can't I escape?"
Shen Yue narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I'm afraid the Devil Monarch has never heard of a small sect like the Reflecting Shadow Sect …"
Before his voice died away, two short swords appeared in his hands. One was black, the other was pale white. Both were glimmering with the intention of death.
At the same time, under the setting sun, the elongated black shadow at Mengqi's feet suddenly wriggled as if it had come to life. It formed a body of its own and pounced on Mengqi!
The dark shadow's breath and unfathomable feeling were similar to Mengqi's, but it was more demonic and dangerous. It was the supreme skill of the Reflecting Shadow Sect, "Floating Shadow". It used one's Interior to draw the opponent's shadow. If one crossed the first Celestial Ladder and interweaved Dharma and Logos, the shadow could almost copy 70% of the opponent's strength. It was extremely dangerous in a sudden attack.
Even if Shen Yue was not strong enough, the "shadow" should not be underestimated. It was at the Exterior level and could never be stopped!
Coupled with his own attack, even a Top Class Master Pro would be at a disadvantage!
As a heterodox demon, Shen Yue only believed in himself. He was wary and wary of his peers and liked to strike first to gain the upper hand!
The shadow was connected to Meng Qi's feet. As soon as it attacked, it had already closed in on him. It was truly terrifying.
Just as it was about to entangle Meng Qi and Shen Yue's sword light was about to cut through the void, the sky suddenly turned pitch-black. The setting sun disappeared and the fiery clouds disappeared. There was no longer any light!
Without light, there was no shadow. Shen Yue only felt that the surrounding was so dark that he couldn't even see his own fingers. The connection between him and the shadow was immediately broken!
Night replaced day!
Shen Yue sensed the green-robed Merciless Tyrant take a step forward. His body suddenly grew to a height of tens of thousands of feet. He was like a demon descending from the sky, filling the space between heaven and earth. His expression was indifferent. His palm covered a radius of a hundred miles and pressed down. His five fingers separated to form a cage. It was a sight to behold!
"This …" Shen Yue barely suppressed the fluctuations in his heart. He did not allow himself to be intimidated, lose his will to fight, and lose his strength.
He was no longer ignorant and inexperienced. He knew that the Exterior could draw on the Force of Heaven and Earth and Dharma and Logos. It would not have a terrifying power that would affect the surrounding area. Instead, it would create an illusion that blinded the mind and senses. It was strange, unpredictable, and could kill people without a trace. When faced with such an enemy, as long as he lost his calm and his state of mind, he would definitely lose.
The demon-like green shadow before him was undoubtedly an illusion. However, he had to guard against Merciless Tyrant's hidden killing intent!
The whites of Shen Yue's eyes turned black. His eyes were like whirlpools. Shen Yue tried his best to distinguish between reality and illusion, but he could not tell the difference between reality and illusion. It seemed that the green-robed demon that filled the sky was real, and so was the huge palm that covered the area!
Shen Yue could not sit still and wait for death. He chose the stupidest but most effective method. His body spun and his two swords shot out streaks of sword light that were either white or black. They flooded and cut everything around him like a tide.
The sword light traveled far and wide with a deep sense of death. The towering figure in the green robe was cut into many small pieces. The pieces swayed like water.
"It's really an illusion!" Shen Yue was delighted.
At this moment, the pieces of the figure turned into a green robe. Each of them had white hair on their temples. With one hand behind their back, they struck with their right palm. For a moment, Shen Yue was surrounded by a dark palm force that was as heavy as a mountain. The sound of whistling was endless.
"Turning illusion into reality!"
Shen Yue's heart skipped a beat. He felt a strong sense of danger. He felt as if the palm force was tearing and squeezing him from every direction. His body was on the verge of disintegration!
He took a deep breath and circled his two swords. The black and white intertwined to form a black and white circle. The sword light was like a ring-shaped spherical wall that protected him tightly.
"Bang bang bang!" "Clang clang clang!"
The sound of the palm strikes and the sword clanged together. Shen Yue felt as if he was a small boat bobbing up and down on a stormy sea. His Qi and blood were boiling and his Interior was operating cryptically. He was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
After enduring this wave of attacks with great difficulty, he gritted his teeth and crossed his swords. The black and white sword lights connected from head to tail like two Jiao Dragons, killing everything in their path. This was the unique skill of the Reflecting Shadow Sect, "Stunning Flood Dragon". It was a pity that he did not have a shadow to help him. Otherwise, its power would have increased by several times!
The sword lights were agile and constantly intertwined, killing everything except Shen Yue. The green-robed figures were shattered one by one. Even the darkness became fragmented.
"It's done!" Shen Yue's spirit was slightly lifted. He was about to continue and break the illusion when he suddenly felt the darkness descend again. A green-robed figure appeared from within. The figure had white hair on his temples, an elegant temperament, and a pair of eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of life. The figure bent a finger of his right hand and pointed at him slowly and heavily.
"Still okay?" Just as Shen Yue thought of this, he held his breath. That was because although the finger did not change, it was heavy to a certain extent. There was a pinhole-sized dark spot in front of the finger, which was different from the surrounding darkness because the darkness had become distorted and shrunk!
Shen Yue flew towards the white and slender finger that looked like the body of a demon. He felt that his body and Vital Spirit were about to be torn apart.
"What a terrifying finger!" Shen Yue took a deep breath and the two swords suddenly clashed. The black and white sword lights collided, creating a terrible explosion. The air waves rolled and the light scattered like water, rushing towards the finger.
"Boom!"
The terrifying suction force disappeared, and so did the light waves.
Shen Yue flew back a few feet and stared into the distance with a hint of expectation. But the figure in the light robe was still there, as if it had never changed.
However, Mengqi did not chase after him. He said with a faint smile,
"As long as your Inner Demon is not dead, I will not die."
"What?" Shen Yue's heart tightened. Many thoughts came to him, but he could not grasp the key point.
Suddenly, he found that there was no darkness around him. He was still standing in the shadow of the deep mountain. The elegant middle-aged man in the green robe was still facing him with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sunset. The frosty white hair on his temples was dyed with a little golden red. His eyes were affectionate and indifferent, and there was no trace of him fighting!
The fiery clouds covered the sky, and the evening breeze blew gently. It was exactly the same as when he first arrived here. It seemed that the fierce fight just now was all an illusion!
Whether it was replacing the night with the sun, turning illusion into reality, the heavy finger, or the shadow summoned by himself, the sword lights crisscrossing and colliding, were all illusions?
No, it was so real, how could it be an illusion!
But the feeling at this moment told him that it was an illusion!
Or was it an illusion now?
For a moment, Shen Yue only felt that it was difficult to distinguish between reality and reality. He did not know when it was an illusion and when it was really happening.
As the night wind blew past, he suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver. His back and forehead were densely covered in sweat, and he didn't know when they had appeared.
"Reflecting Shadow Sect is a famous heterodox sect. How could I not have heard of it? How is your sect's Elder Sun? "Mengqi asked indifferently without turning his head. He still looked at Shen Yue from the side, fully displaying the bearing of a senior expert.
He had just recalled the information on Reflecting Shadow Sect and chose a heterodox master who was about the same age as Merciless Tyrant.
After the "fight" just now, Shen Yue no longer had any hope of getting lucky. He only felt that the demon in front of him was unfathomable. He was definitely not an old man who had wasted twenty years of his life. He had the grace of a hopeful candidate for the Terrestrial Rankings and the Black List. No, he was even stronger than before. In the past, he had only attracted attention and was praised as a "hopeful candidate". Now, he truly felt like a person on the Black List!
Currently, only the first sixty-three people on the Black List could enter the Terrestrial Rankings.
"Elder Sun is doing well. It's just that he hasn't been able to break through the first step of the Celestial Ladder and has become a little irritable," Shen Yue answered honestly.
He had always been a guy who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Mengqi turned his head, revealing his deep and strangely charming facial features. He smiled faintly and said,
"My young friend, can you introduce me to some of the people in the nearby regions?"
Shen Yue's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his eyes and said, "There's a senior I'm familiar with in the nearby regions."
"Who?" Mengqi asked casually.
Shen Yue said, "'Soul-chasing Demon Monarch' Mo Tiange. He suffered a great calamity in the past and disappeared for many years. But now, he has crossed the first step of the Celestial Ladder and his strength has greatly increased. It seems that there's an extraordinary force behind him."
He secretly sensed Mengqi's emotional fluctuations. The two Demon Monarchs had been enemies for many years!
"Oh, he's finally had a taste of his own medicine," Mengqi replied nonchalantly.
There was not the slightest bit of hatred or comparison. It was as if Soul-chasing Demon Monarch was an insignificant person! Shen Yue was slightly shocked and surprised. He dared not say anything else and changed the topic. "There's also 'Six-apex Devil' Senior Linghu nearby. He's currently ranked ninety-third on the Black List. He's a well-known figure and a role model for us …"
…
He introduced them one by one. Mengqi listened quietly until one of them said,
"Madam Baihua, a madam of a brothel in Ying City. Her strength is unknown, but she's somewhat famous in the heterodox world because she's trained her 'daughter' well."
She wasn't the mastermind of the brothel in Ying City, but just an inconspicuous madam. Mengqi nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "Was Tower Master Duanmu's new favorite concubine given to him by her?"
Shen Yue shook his head blankly. "I don't know much about this."
Mengqi said no more and let him continue. When he was done, he waved his hand and signaled for him to leave.
Shen Yue felt as if he had been released from a great burden, but he still couldn't believe it. He cautiously escaped and only relaxed when he was hundreds of miles away. His body actually trembled a little.
With his hands clasped behind his back, Mengqi watched Shen Yue leave. There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. The Gist of Trueness and techniques of the "Yin-Yang Seal", the "Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship", the "One Heart Affecting Another" ability, and the Supernatural Power of Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth to propel the "Seven Immortal Illusions" was indeed miraculous. It was worth experimenting with Shen Yue!
"Madam Baihua …" Meng Qi frowned slightly and decided to wait for Duanmu Bei's reply.
