Bewildering Illusory Realm
A black spear suddenly appeared, and Yuan Qing held it in his right hand, concentrating all his Law Power into the spear.
He moved swiftly, his spear whistling like a dragon as it thrust towards the array barrier.
This strike seemed to tear the surrounding air apart, the tip of the spear gleaming with a cold light.
"Boom!"
The collision between the spear and the formation was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire tomb.
The array barrier trembled violently, like a candle flame flickering in the wind.
"Break!"
Yuan Qing roared and brandished his spear once more.
The spear, imbued with the power of heaven and earth, once again pierced the array barrier.
The formation finally succumbed to Yuan Qing's relentless attacks and shattered like glass.
"Puff!"
Si Xi spat out a mouthful of blood.
The formation was forcibly broken, and Si Xi was struck dumb, her aura instantly weakening.
"Die!"
Without pausing, Yuan Qing aimed his spear straight at Zhu Yin's face.
Zhu Yin's eyes lit up with an eerie green light, like two will-o'-the-wisps flickering in the dark underwater tomb.
The green light in her eyes seemed to possess a captivating power.
In Yuan Qing's eyes, Zhu Yin's figure began to blur, and everything around her gradually began to distort.
He felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over him, making him feel lightheaded and unsteady.
Illusion!
"Divine Sense attack! Zhu Yin's Bewildering Illusory Realm!"
This thought flashed through Yuan Qing's mind.
However, he did not take Zhu Yin's Divine Sense attack to heart.
Zhu Yin has not yet broken through to the Peak Golden Core Stage, which means that her Divine Sense awareness is only at the Late Golden Core Stage.
With his superior Divine Sense, he should be able to easily see through the illusion.
However, when Yuan Qing focused his mind and scanned the illusion with his Divine Sense, he found no flaws in the illusion. Instead, several more fierce ghosts appeared before him.
The illusion continues to unfold!
"When did Zhu Yin break through to the Peak Golden Core Stage? How come I didn't know?" Yuan Qing was filled with doubt and surprise.
Zhu Yin's cultivation level had not yet broken through to the Peak Golden Core Stage, but after consuming the Spirit-Sense Advancement Pill refined by Song Wen, her Divine Sense strength broke through to the Peak Golden Core Stage ahead of others.
The vengeful ghosts, with their hideous faces and twisted forms, lunged at Yuan Qing with bared fangs and claws.
The vengeful ghost is an illusory existence, having only form but no substance.
The spear in Yuan Qing's hand and the various Technique Method he used were of no use against them.
The vengeful spirit surged toward Yuan Qing's head, then mysteriously burrowed inside, invading his Sea of Consciousness.
In an instant, Yuan Qing's Sea of Consciousness was in turmoil, with several fierce ghosts raging and roaring inside, as if trying to tear his Sea of Consciousness apart.
Yuan Qing felt a splitting headache, as if countless steel needles were piercing his head.
"Zhu Yin, did you think I was completely unprepared for your illusions?!"
Before he finished speaking, a foot-long piece of precious jade suddenly appeared in front of him.
The jade was entirely fluorescent white and shaped like a crescent moon.
The jade glowed brilliantly, dazzling and radiant, like a crescent moon hanging high in the Ye Kong, casting a soft and hazy moonlight.
Under the fluorescent light, the vengeful ghost in Yuan Qing's Sea of Consciousness gradually began to dissipate, the excruciating pain slowly subsided, and even the distorted scene before his eyes gradually returned to normal.
Beneath Yuan Qing's feet were pits of varying sizes, the result of his indiscriminate attacks while he was under the illusion.
Looking at Baoyu in mid-air, Zhu Yin finally showed a hint of fear on her face, feeling timid.
The precious jade is a mid-grade Divine Sense defense magic Law Treasure. With this treasure, her illusions are unlikely to pose a threat to Yuan Qing.
She pushed off slightly with her feet, and her body suddenly shot backward.
"Trying to escape now? Too late!" Yuan Qing said coldly.
The spear flew from his hand with overwhelming force, chasing after the Zhu Yin.
A figure suddenly appeared, blocking the way in front of the spear.
It is Zhu Yin's peak third-tier Corpse Puppet.
The Corpse Puppet raised its claws and slammed them towards the spear.
However, the spear was incredibly fast; before the claws could even land, the spear had already pierced the Corpse Puppet's chest.
The spear, radiating Sha Qi aura, was unstoppable. In an instant, it pierced through the Corpse Puppet's chest, passed right through its body, and continued its trajectory towards Zhu Yin.
"Bang!"
The spear struck the shield formed by the Red Silk.
Zhu Yin's cultivation was ultimately a notch weaker, and with Yuan Qing using the <Undying True Corpse Transformation>, she felt an overwhelming force strike her, as if a mountain had crashed into her, and she was instantly thrown away.
While suspended in mid-air, Zhu Yin felt as if her internal organs had been displaced by the shock, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Her bones felt like they had been broken, and she was in excruciating pain.
At this moment, Zhu Yin had no time to worry about her injuries. Using the strength of her spear, she accelerated towards the tomb entrance, not daring to stop for even a moment.
Yuan Qing looked at Zhu Yin, who had already escaped from the tomb, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Just as he was about to give chase, he suddenly felt a strong corrosive force emanating from the surrounding air, eroding the life force within his body.
Yuan Qing's expression changed slightly.
This is a sign of being infected with miasma.
The effects of Jade Dew Detoxification Pill have worn off.
With a thought, a jade bottle appeared in his hand; however, the bottle was already empty.
Yuan Qing turned his gaze to Si Xi, who hadn't yet managed to escape.
Those who betray me shall die!
Yuan Qing's figure transformed into a blur, rushing towards Si Xi.
The Jade Dew Detoxification Pill that Si Xi carried was given to her by Yuan Qing. Half of the pill was prepared for Song Wen, but Song Wen did not use it.
Therefore, Si Xi still had some pills left.
Si Xi barely offered any resistance before Yuan Qing snapped her neck.
Strangely, Si Xi, who died with her eyes wide open, had a smile on her face.
Yuan Qing looked down and saw that Si Xi was holding several pills in her hand.
The elixir had already been crushed, and its medicinal properties had completely dissipated.
The veins on Yuan Qing's forehead bulged, and anger surged within him.
A large hand grabbed Si Xi's head and squeezed hard, causing Si Xi's head to explode like a watermelon.
At that moment, a figure flashed past in front of the stone gate of the mausoleum.
It's Song Wen!
Zhu Yin's confident demeanor had led Song Wen to believe she could defeat Yuan Qing. However, to his utter surprise, Zhu Yin fled in disarray after only a few rounds.
At this moment, Yuan Qing's attention was entirely on Si Xi, Song Wen seized the opportunity to quickly run towards the tomb door and escape.
Song Wen's appearance served as a reminder to Yuan Qing that he still had the 'Purifying Bath Pill' that Song Wen had given him.
Previously, he was worried about the quality of the pills and dared not take them. Now, Yuan Qing had no other choice but to take the pills given to him by Song Wen.
Yuan Qing's mind stirred, and he took out the jade bottle that Song Wen had given him.
Yuan Qing poured out a pill, looked at the blood-red pill in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not take it, but put it back into the jade bottle.
With his Peak Golden Core Stage cultivation, he could temporarily resist the miasma even without an antidote.
However, he didn't have enough time to hunt down Zhu Yin. As long as Zhu Yin hid in the seabed crevice, Yuan Qing would have no way to find her.
Yuan Qing took Si Xi's storage ring, then went to the skeleton and took the storage ring, Pill Furnace, and Meditation Cushion from the skeleton's hand.
After collecting the Corpse Puppet left behind by Zhu Yin and confirming that nothing had been left behind in the tomb, Yuan Qing slipped away and headed out of the tomb.
