Chapter 81 79, Reverse
When Xu Yuan's voice arose from behind Tian Liuli, she first frowned, subconsciously thinking it was just another illusion they had conjured.
But when she felt a heat wave rolling toward her delicate, snow-like neck, Tian Liuli's willow brows instantly furrowed.
"How is that possible?!"
Aside from the two of them, only Xu Yuan was still in the arena.
But she had clearly seen Xu Yuan trapped within her own azure strands, how could...
No, that scene was fake!
Tian Liuli understood.
It was her own excessive self-confidence that had led to this situation.
However, there was no need to care too much, since the only one who could pose a threat to her, Lin Qingque, was now lying down.
Tian Liuli turned to look at the Sword Web formed by her three thousand azure strands, which was now slowly breaking apart.
And the source of all this was the demonically seductive fire that blazed ferociously.
The strange divine fire of blue and white centered around Xu Yuan, swirling and leaping, eventually forming something akin to the Precious Lotus Lamp atop his sword tip, a blue and white lotus platform suspended in the air.
"Thunderfire Sword, Buddha's Fury Lotus."
Xu Yuan's smile slowly spread across his lips.
If Throw You Rem represented the calmness of thunder and the vanishing of light, portraying the ultimate speed, then Buddha's Fury Lotus, sharing its name with the signature martial skill of a protagonist in a certain novel, was the wild scream of fire and the mournful howl of wind, representing the art of destruction.
The only pity was that it took too long to activate.
So, he had to wait there for a while.
A strange look flashed through Tian Liuli's eyes.
Not bad, but that's all it was.
"Go."
Xu Yuan's sword tip trembled slightly.
The next moment, that beautifully exquisite blue and white lotus platform turned into a lightning bolt, spinning and slicing through the air, the three thousand azure strands of the Sword Web hadn't even made contact before they were severed by the high temperature surrounding it.
"Mr. Xu, since you are so obstinate, let me show you just how big the gap between us really is."
Tian Liuli narrowed her clear eyes, suddenly understanding his thinking, but with a remote expression, she pointed a solitary finger skyward and chanted in a low voice, "Liuli Heaven!"
The next instant, from the dome her finger pointed at, a Liuli radiance spread like ripples, coloring everything it touched with the hue of Liuli.
"Explode!"
"Did it succeed?"
Xu Yuan held his breath, as the Liuli Heaven released by Tian Liuli was still ongoing, hence, they could not approach.
Of course, another reason was... during the battle with the Heart Demon, the person involved might feel it lasted a long time, but in reality, it happened in an instant, so they could only attempt an ambush if they were close enough.
"Is the battle decided?"
Sure enough, just after Lin Qingque's eyes rolled back for a moment, a fierce struggle appeared in the dazed eyes of Tian Liuli.
"What's the outcome?"
Just then, the two saw Lin Qingque, involved as the Heart Demon, with a smile lifting her lips and her hands slowly forming a V symbol; her hair color subtly taking on a pinkish hue, the sign of her Heart Devil Form.
"Seems like it's stable, time to pop the champagne."
Xu Yuan felt a surge of joy.
But the next moment, he saw Lin Qingque's delicate body suddenly tremble violently.
Following that, both of them awakened from the Heart Demon simultaneously, violently spewing out a large mouthful of liquid.
Although Lin Qingque spewed water and Tian Liuli blood, Xu Yuan's heart sank.
"Did we actually lose?"
After all, only by trapping Tian Liuli within the Heart Demon could they be considered to have won.
And now, since she had escaped, it meant that they had been defeated.
"But... how could we lose?"
Xu Yuan furrowed his brows tightly; he had been pondering the strategy against Tian Liuli long ago.
He knew of Tian Liuli's past Dao Heart's flaws, so he had devised a plan specifically targeted against her.
It involved initially creating the illusion of their defeat, then creating the illusion that he was the trump card among the three, drawing her attention and concealing the real purpose of initiating the Heart's Illusionary Realm to allow Lin Qingque to enter the Heart Devil Form without alerting her.
But unexpectedly, could she not be subdued even so?
"Hahaha! What a pity, Lin Qingque, you are indeed a fool. Mr. Xu, even with all your scheming, you're still one move short."
Tian Liuli raised her jade-like hand, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, her indifferent and haughty demeanor showing a flicker of scare for the first time.
She was almost defeated here! Excellent, truly worthy of being her husband!
Meanwhile, Lin Qingque, her legs nearly giving out, knelt on the ground, clenched her fists, and pounded fiercely on the ground, letting hot tears fall from her smooth cheeks and raise dust from the ground.
"Senior brother, I'm sorry, I've let down your trust, but... even though it was just an illusion, I didn't want to see that vile woman with you like that."
Lin Qingque's eyes were brimming with tears.
The main reason, actually, was that she herself had been carried away, so Tian Liuli noticed something was amiss, but she dared not say it.
