Chapter 263 155, a stick and a carrot
Originally, Xu Yuan was not afraid of her just now, he was merely letting her have her way.
How ridiculous that she thought her long-cherished wish would soon be fulfilled.
"Isn't that a very normal thing?"
Xu Yuan wrapped his arms around her waist, playing with the golden jade pendent on her head, and chuckled lightly, "You understand me, and I understand you just as well."
Hearing Xu Yuan's seemingly meaningful words, a flush of pink spread across Liu Ruoxue's flawless celestial face.
Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
Clearly, she was reminded of the scene when they first met.
Xu Yuan released her hand, smiling faintly.
After her recent enlightenment, Liu Ruoxue's strength had indeed become very formidable. Yet, even at her strongest, she was merely comparable to a Half-step Nascent Soul Cultivator, but Xu Yuan had just slain two Half-step Nascent Soul Demons, his momentum more ferocious than ever.
Fortunately, he was quite familiar with Liu Ruoxue and knew her weakness was close combat; unless her realm was two levels higher than his, he could easily manipulate her.
Not to mention, with Xue Lin's assistance, he had successfully advanced to the middle phase of Core Formation.
Their realms were now equal, and with his techniques surpassing hers, instantly eliminating her was naturally not an impossible task.
"..."
Liu Ruoxue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then reopened them, relaxing her clenched fist.
It seemed she still had a long way to go.
Seeing her no longer restless, Xu Yuan smiled, walked over to Xue Lin, who had been silent since the beginning, and transmitted, "Are you convinced?"
"What?"
Xue Lin, still in confusion, naturally didn't understand what he was talking about.
"Just now, she acted that way in front of you, don't you feel stifled?"
"..."
Xue Lin remained silent.
A moment later, with a hoarse voice, she responded, "Not convinced, but what of it?"
"Don't you want to seek revenge?"
Xu Yuan glanced at Liu Ruoxue.
She seemed completely unaware that the two were secretly communicating through voice transmission.
It seemed that the recent sparring session had indeed had some effect.
At least, Liu Ruoxue would no longer focus most of her energy on guarding against Xue Lin, but would start to concentrate on cultivating.
He handed a storage bag to Xue Lin.
"This is?"
Xue Lin looked at him in surprise.
"I'm very sorry for what happened just now. However, for me, you are both the same, so..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
But Xue Lin understood his meaning; she clenched her fist, wiping the teardrops off the corner of her eyes.
"What!?"
The two demons exchanged a look, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
With the power of Core Formation, to have swept away two Quasi-Nascent Soul demon races is telling; the combat power of this young man must be extraordinarily heaven-defying.
"Unfortunately, there are too many demons who favor the Young Master; if nothing goes wrong, he should soon be continuously encountered by those outstanding young demons," one said.
"Yes, among those outstanding young ones, there are not a few at the Nascent Soul or even Great Perfection stage of Nascent Soul," the other added.
"But that's normal; there are gains and losses. Even if he has won the favor of the Young Master, winning the Divine Lord's approval isn't so easy. I heard the Divine Lord say he's not just any ordinary demon, but the legend says..."
At this, he suddenly stopped speaking and looked around.
"Legend says what?"
"No, I almost forgot; I can't say it," he replied, shaking his head. "It's a big secret."
However, after he had finished speaking, he seemed to notice something was not quite right and sharply turned to look at his companion.
His companion also wore a startled expression.
That last remark hadn't been made by his companion.
But if it wasn't his companion who spoke, then who was it?
"Oh, a big secret, eh?"
The owner of that unfamiliar voice chuckled again, sounding just beside the ears of the two demons.
The demons swiftly turned around, just in time to see Xu Yuan's indifferent eyes looking at them.
"Are you from the Nine Tails clan?" he asked, standing behind them with a serene expression. "Since we've met by chance, why don't you lead the way?"
"Run!"
The two demons were Nascent Soul-stage demons, but at that moment, their hearts were filled with terror.
They were not from the Nine Tails clan, but as affiliates of the Nine Tails, their divine skills were related to illusion techniques, so their main cultivation technique also involved the use of illusions.
However, Xu Yuan had ruthlessly beaten them at their proudest skill: illusion techniques.
Whether it was in seeing through illusions or in using them.
They were utterly no match for him.
"How could this be?" Jiu Yue, while occasionally looking back at Xu Yuan who stood at his original spot, incredulously said, "We had clearly locked onto his soul's aura, yet we still didn't sense his approach. With our mastery over illusion techniques, it doesn't make sense that we couldn't discern even a minor detail."
Jiu Ri, grinding his teeth, replied, "It seems we still underestimated him; his mastery over illusion techniques might already be comparable to those Primordial Spirit demons who specialize in them."
"You flatter me; I'm not quite there yet," came a modest reply from the front.
The humbling words made the two demons abruptly stop.
Xu Yuan, clad in billowing white robes and holding the Thunderfire Sword with his gaze lowered, appeared unspeakably dashing and unrestrained.
Although he was confused as to why these two Nascent Soul demons fled upon seeing him, with the Illusory Realm Mirror in hand and facing cultivators below the Primordial Spirit stage, the initiative was all in his hands.
Whether he wanted to advance or retreat was all up to him.
"Damn it!"
The demons exchanged glances and then began to stretch, revealing their true forms.
Although Xu Yuan's mastery of illusion techniques was beyond what they had anticipated, this did not mean they would just surrender without a fight!
