Sword, Come! Assemble! Add Points!

"Miss Ji, you are lucky..."

Yu Zhen's eyes flashed with a cold light. He walked very lightly, but the places he stepped on left faint indentations.

"So many of us have eaten lotus seeds, yet only you were chosen to become mermaids. Do you know how precious this opportunity is?"

His expression was somewhat ferocious, his eyes and cheeks bulging outwards, as if something was about to burst through his skin.

"The Water God! He descends upon His own followers! Do you know how much we want to be His followers? But we can't, we can only be His believers... So you Demon Race are truly barbaric, only good for wasting resources and blind to talent! A race like yours should be like lowly livestock, forever imprisoned in your pigsty!"

Ji Xueruo's upright chest heaved, and beneath her fair skin, bulging veins were visible. Her sharp fingernails dug into her palms, drawing bright red blood.

The ancestors of the Demon Race were various animals, and it is understandable that some humans, who consider themselves the most intelligent of all beings, would look down on the Demon Race. These people are absolutely opposed to the Demon Race, but due to various practical pressures, few human cultivators like Yu Zhen openly express their disgust for the Demon Race.

"No matter how despicable the Demon Race may be, at least they wouldn't worship such filthy evil things like you!" Ji Xueruo gritted her teeth.

Yu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He gently wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes and said:

"Miss Ji is even more sincere than I thought... I don't know how you escaped the divine blood, but I'll give you one last chance. As long as you kill Young Master You with your own hands, I will bestow upon you a few more fresh lotus seeds, and you will still have a chance to become the vessel of the Water God!"

Seeing Ji Xueruo silent, he raised his head again and looked down at the frail girl with disdain:

"If the Water God chooses you, you'll have the chance to rise from the lowest of races to obtain the most noble bloodline! Don't easily give up this opportunity to leap over the dragon gate... Miss Ji!"

"Jade Immortal Master, let me tell you a story."

The first to speak was You Su, who was wincing in pain.

Yu Zhen glanced at him and replied with a smile, "Please speak, Young Master You."

"I have a dog at home. One day it went out and ate some poop. It thought it was delicious, so it came back and told its owner how tasty poop was and wanted its owner to eat it too. Jade Immortal Master, would you eat it if you were in its shoes?"

You Su smiled faintly, completely unconcerned that she was on the verge of death.

Upon Ji Xueruo's smile deepened. She raised her head and looked down at Yu Zhen, echoing, "Your dog is so clueless. People and dogs like to eat different things."

Yu Zhen showed no anger, but calmly remarked:

"Yes... people and dogs are ultimately different..."

Immediately, thousands of silk threads trembled slightly, and Yu Zhen resembled a spider that had been plotting for a long time, or a great musician plucking strings. His demeanor had changed drastically, and he spoke in eloquent incantations:

"Since that's the case, then let's send you on your way!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the threads instantly converged, flashing with a cold light, and slashed towards the two of them.

You Su struggled to his feet again, flinging the Ink Pine Sword into a spherical afterimage, preventing the threads from getting even a fraction closer to them.

Yu Zhen wasn't in a hurry. He calmly manipulated the silk threads in his hand, knowing that You Su couldn't sustain such a high density of sword moves for long before he was completely exhausted.

Catching White Dragon Carp is a significant matter for the people of Jade Ring Pool. They must not harm the fish with knives or swords, as that would ruin its flavor. Therefore, their method is to chase the White Dragon Carp until it is exhausted, and then easily catch the intact White Dragon Carp.

This led the people of Jade Ring Pool to develop this hunting habit.

Ji Xueruo was extremely anxious. These blade threads were composed of Mystic Qi, indicating that this was definitely a Technique Method. As a rising star in the magic Technique Method of the Demon Race, she had never heard of such a Technique Method before.

At the same time, using Mystic Qi to form thousands of sharp threads and controlling them at will, even Void Glimpse Venerable, who specializes in Technique Method, would probably find it difficult to possess such a high level of energy control.

If Yu Zhen is truly such a genius, how could he be just an ordinary servant?

Ji Xueruo was confident in her Technique Method talent, was now somewhat stretched thin. With her current level of skill and knowledge, it was impossible for her to decipher these blade threads.

You Su, who was blocking her way, was already covered in cuts and bruises, and most of his left shoulder had been cut off, revealing his shoulder bone, which had been cut very cleanly.

Just looking at such a wound made her shoulder ache. Ji Xueruo was filled with grief and indignation, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

Like You Su, she possesses the ability to fight opponents of higher levels, but no matter how high their talent, it is impossible for them to defeat an enemy above the Feather Transformation Realm with their cultivation at the middle stage of the Spirit Platform Middle Stage Realm.

Ji Xueruo was filled with extreme regret. Her only chance to defeat Yu Zhen was that drop of the Snake Ancestor's Poison, but she used it on the eldest son of the Water Condensing Upper Realm. At the time, she thought she had made the most of it, but now she deeply regretted it.

If only I could squeeze out a single drop of the Snake Ancestor's Poison...

Even a single drop could save him, right? If we don't do something, he'll be chopped into pieces like tofu!

"Just one drop, just one drop will do!"

Suddenly, the Serpent Ancestor, which had been dormant for thousands of years, seemed to sense the call of its descendant, and that divinely bestowed power reappeared in Ji Xueruo's body!

Ji Xueruo raised her hand in astonishment, and a drop of extremely concentrated ink poison landed on her smooth, fair wrist.

She actually has a second drop of the Snake Ancestor's Poison demon can only use once in her lifetime!

Ji Xueruo had no time to think about the reasons, as dozens of white snakes launched another attack on Yu Zhen from the ground.

Yu Zhen sneered, "A last-ditch resistance!"

He casually chopped the white snakes into pieces, but the snakes seemed to have anticipated this, transforming into hundreds of even smaller snakes before they even touched the slicing wire!

Yu Zhen had been defeated by this snake-controlling technique before, and he would never let these white snakes get close to him so easily again. The blades spun into an impenetrable fan of blades, blocking all the small snakes from entering.

Ji Xueruo took a few steps back in despair, and Yu Zhen smiled sinisterly at the sight.

But the next moment, his smile froze. He clearly felt a sharp pain in his ankle, and the culprit was a small, jet-black snake!

In the dim cave, it blended almost into its surroundings. Yu Zhen, who was always wary of the white snake, did not even notice this slow-moving black snake!

Ji Xueruo deliberately making expressions to attract my attention! What a jerk!

The Snake Ancestor's Poison was delivered into Yu Zhen's body by the Ink Serpent. This ancient and rare poison took effect extremely quickly, and Yu Zhen immediately staggered back a few steps before collapsing to the ground, convulsing. At this moment, Yu Zhen felt as if hundreds of venomous snakes were gnawing at his internal organs and draining his strength from his body.

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

No one can truly remain unyielding. You Su's clothes were tattered, revealing bloodied flesh. He didn't even know if the Tai Sui Power could repair these missing bones and flesh. At this moment, he could only lean limply against Ji Xueruo's chest, and asked weakly:

"What does 'one drop' mean...?"

Ji Xueruo was also in a state of surprise, and murmured:

"It's the Snake Ancestor's Poison... It's the greatest protection the Serpent Ancestor bestowed upon the serpent demon after its baptism. Even those at the Void Glimpse Realm must be wary of it, but it only has one chance... I clearly used it to kill the eldest young master, yet just now another drop was generated!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, immersed in the joy of having once again turned the tide, and she held the weakened You Su very tightly:

"I knew there was always a way out! We can't die here! You have to hold on!"

Upon hearing this, You Su's lips curled slightly, and she murmured:

"Miss Ji, you truly live up to your title as the Serpent Clan Empress... You are remarkable."

Exhausted, he almost closed his eyes, but in the pitch black, he suddenly saw a figure slowly stand up—

It's Yu Zhen!

He's not dead yet!

Yu Zhen was no longer as handsome as before; the rotting human skin hung haphazardly on his face like paper coating on maltose.

"I'm not afraid of poison..."

Yu Zhen grinned, his mouth splitting all the way to his earlobes, revealing his bright red gums. He looked like a demon crawling out of hell, now having found his scapegoat.

Ji Xueruo stared in disbelief at Yu Zhen, who had stood up. "This... how is this possible!"

"Impossible?!"

Yu Zhen burst into laughter; his stomach had rotted open with a large hole, and long, disgusting sections of his intestines were spilling out as he laughed unrestrainedly.

"Under the protection of the Water God, nothing is impossible!"

He lifted the intestines and stuffed them back in, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Ji Xueruo's face.

"Miss Ji, how should I repay you...? I really have absolutely no interest in snakes, but letting you die like this would be too easy for you..."

Yu Zhen's voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, and the cold wind whipped against Ji Xueruo's face, chilling her heart to the bone.

"However, while I'm not interested in you, I am very interested in Young Master You!"

"Ah!!"

You Su's heart-wrenching screams almost pierced Ji Xueruo's eardrums. She suddenly felt You Su's body sink, and looking down, she discovered that one of You Su's legs had been severed on the ground, the cut as smooth as if it had been polished by a mirror.

Looking at You Su's furrowed brow, Ji Xueruo felt heartbroken and speechless, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls.

"Don't cry, Miss Ji, I cut it quickly, it won't hurt that much..."

Yu Zhen pressed down on her cracked lips, and with a casual flick of her wrist, You Su's other leg also broke off and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Just two more hands and it'll be finished... Yu Zhen, I love handsome young men like Young Master You the most. I'll turn him into a human pig and raise him on a swing! Then I'll feed him a kind of poison so he'll never fall! Miss Ji, you've tasted him, haven't you... It must have been wonderful, right? But unfortunately... From now on, he'll only be mine to enjoy..."

Yu Zhen laughed wantonly and lewdly, his entire face almost peeling off from his laughter.

Ji Xueruo she held half of You Su's body, her lips quivering. She suddenly turned around to shield You Su behind her, leaving Yu Zhen with her defenseless back.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Yu Zhen roared angrily, and invisible blades of light slashed towards Ji Xueruo, determined to cut her in two!

To Yu Zhen's astonishment, the scene he had anticipated did not occur; Ji Xueruo was completely unharmed!

Behind her, a jet-black sword gleamed.

Rewind two breaths.

Held in Ji Xueruo's arms, You Su felt suffocated by the softness pressing down on his face, just like the despair outside.

He had even seen through the dreams of Dream-Eating Ghost, let alone the numerous illusions that appeared after entering the Jade Ring Pool. He truly believed, as the Little White Fish had said, that he was the special one. But no matter how special he was, he still needed the opportunity to enter the illusionary realm...

At that moment, there was nothing he could do but wait for his death.

You Su had experienced several moments of despair, but this was the first time that the images of her junior sister, Mistress, and Miss Ji flashed through her mind like this.

It seems like I'm really going to die this time...

Looking back, coming into this world feels like a dream.

He finally gave up on everything. The Ink Pine Sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. You Su closed his eyes slowly, as if his heart had died, but he still had a strange feeling that something was still clutched in his empty right hand...

He made a few grasping motions, but couldn't grab anything...

You Su suddenly opened her eyes wide!

A dream! He is already in a dream created by the Tibetan land!

That feeling was like being tightly holding hands with Miss Ji as we fell into a dark pool!

He understood... he understood everything!

Yu Zhen's cultivation level had increased dramatically, his ability to control Qi was extraordinary, and his immortal body had withstood the Snake Ancestor's Poison!

It's all fake!

"Under the protection of the Water God, nothing is impossible!"

Yu Zhen's arrogant words exposed the most fundamental principle of the Tibetan Illusionary Realm!

This dream can fulfill all the desires of the dreamer! Nothing is impossible!

So Ji Xueruo clearly said that the Snake Ancestor's Poison only had one chance, she was able to conjure up a second drop out of thin air after shouting "one drop!"

The illusion created by Tibetan Buddhism is extremely sophisticated! It doesn't target any particular person, but rather creates a real world to equally satisfy everyone's needs, which is why so many people remain trapped in it, unable to extricate themselves!

Having figured this out, You Su's mind was clear. Ji Xueruo holding him too tightly, her soft flesh almost shoving between his lips and teeth. He had no time to appreciate this tenderness, and could only mumble and shout with all his might:

"Sword, come!"

The Ink Pine Sword seemed to be imbued with divine power, and with a resounding clang, it soared into the air, blocking Yu Zhen's unstoppable blade threads!

Even though it instantly became soft and watery, it was still cut in two by the Ink Pine Sword!

Seeing this, Yu Zhen clenched her teeth so tightly that she even broke one of her molars.

"Dying peacefully won't do you any harm!"

Ji Xueruo, unaware of what had happened, kept her eyes closed and held You Su tightly in her arms.

"Mmm..."

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

Ji Xueruo came to her senses, feeling a dampness on her chest, and something constantly moving and rubbing against that area...

She quickly released You Su and discovered that You Su still had that bright, gentle smile she had when they first met, only with a lot of blood on her nose.

So, getting your leg chopped off can cause nosebleeds?

"I want to fly."

You Su shouted something to someone, and his mutilated body actually floated slowly into the air in Ji Xueruo's astonished gaze!

"Flesh and blood! Assembly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xueruo's beautiful eyes almost popped out of their sockets, because You Su's two severed legs flew up on their own and returned to their original positions perfectly! Even the pieces of flesh that had been cut off from You Su's body returned to their original places one by one!

You Su looked down at Yu Zhen, who was no longer human, like a tyrant.

He felt no fear whatsoever. This was the illusion of the Tibetan land; what followed was not a clash of their own Mystic Qi, but rather—

A battle of imagination!

"Dark Blue, add some points!"
