Chapter 1148


    <strong><em>Real Illusion</em></strong>


    Hun Kui’s demise came as a shock, but the veterans quickly regathered themselves and formed a ring around their rings, lest they be next.


    Human ves disconnected from Bai Jie’s Sumeru Switch Scroll’s system celebrated.


    “Brothers, maul them!” Xiaoshuai cried from Mu Yu’s shoulder, motivating their allies to reveal their aces.


    Even though half of Bai Jie’s forces could not defeat veterans, such as Ku Mu, they were more thanpetent enough to stall the veterans.


    Bai Jie, furious they lost seventeen stars and seven soldiers, detonated punches on A-Dai and Archfiend Baiyuan before mobilising the stars to incarcerate everyone. Everyone witnessed the stars erge – simrly to them being sucked into a different world.


    “Ah, crap,” Mu Yu cursed. “What the hell is this deste ne, and where’s everyone else?”


    Xiaoshuai sniffed the air. “Weird. This is a real illusion.”


    “A what?” Mu Yu touched the grass, confirming the grass was there, albeit not susceptible to his will. “Ah, I get it now.”“Yep, everything here is real, but we’re still inside Sumeru Switch Scroll. The white freak must’ve migrated things from different ces, just like we were transported here on our way to Sword Shadow City, to fool our vision and hearing.”


    “Guess Bai Jie isn’t confident his forces could prevail against our united front.” Mu Yu summoned Reflection Compass. “Dang. It can’t pick up on the other’s presences.”


    As they remained outside Sumeru Switch Scroll, those fighting under Zhuge Xiaosheng and Helian Kong were oblivious to what happened inside, fighting purely off bravery and fear as fuel. Corpses and rubble littered the ground as both sides continued to trade in a war of elements. Zhuge Xiaosheng took out three Ascension Realm opponents thus far, keeping their fires stoked. The stars overhead concerned them for the vibes it gave off were nefarious.


    Utilising Universe Hexagram Seal Star, Zhuge Xiaosheng enveloped everyone inside an octagon white barricade, consequently sealing the firmament. As a result of the shield spinning through the air, three invaders were sliced in half.


    “We have to kill as many as we can!” Zhuge Xiaosheng howled as he intercepted an Ascension Realm Ninth Layer soul race member.


    As Gu Yitian wandered on snow summit he was transported to, searching for an exit, Bai Jie abruptly appeared in his path, hand at the ready. Gu Yitian swiftly drew his sword and advanced, only to absorb a palm strike to the chest and eat snow uponnding in the mountain.


    “Stay there. I’m going to get rid of you one by one. Some of you are still useful to me, after all.” Bai Jie came up behind Yu Mo, who was totally exposed out in the ocean, next and restrained her with starlight chains.


    Bai Jie did not waste time with drivel because the illusion was not wless, and he could not afford to let Sword Shadow regroup. Within fifteen minutes time, he subdued Gu Yitian, Yu Mo, Xiao Ran, Ximen Buxing and Wanwan. Archfiends Qinglong and Baiyuan, sorely outnumbered against dozens at once, were no match for Bai Jie when he jumped them. Bai Jieid into both archfiends and left them on the ground. Bai Jie’s next target was Mu Yu, who was arguably the biggest hindrance to him out of the four brothers.


    Because the ces they were transported to were real ces, there were boundaries as to where the ces started and ended. Mu Yu, therefore, kept flying until he found the hint of an exit. s, he was forced to raise his sword mid-flight to deflect a downward beam aimed at him.


    “Nobody can help you this time.” Bai Jie appeared before Mu Yu, stare wrathful.


    “I’m not digging you a hole,” Mu Yu responded, eyes shing ck and white.


    “I’m going to enjoy fixing your mouth.”


    Bai Jie, wearing a grin, condensed a starlight sword. Switching the sky out for a night sky, Bai Jie initiated the first sh. Mu Yu threw his sword up, ck and white qis performing Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts into countless swords to respond to Bai Jie’s onught.


    Again, Mu Yu was outssed in a head-to-head sh, giving him no choice but to step back and then teleport behind Bai Jie, hoping to cleave thetter from a blind spot. Bai Jie swept his arm in an arc overhead, brushing Mu Yu’s downward swing to the side and then redirected the tip of his sword to Mu Yu’s throat. Mu Yu used the sideways momentum tond a crescent kick on Bai Jie’s wrist, his other foot deploying Heavenly Star Formation. Mu Yu made an attempt to harvest Bai Jie’s head from behind, but thetter anticipated it and shielded himself with a starlight shield.


    “You won’t even scratch me once at this rate in my dao artefact.” Bai Jie turned seven stars into seven giant snakes in addition to deploying a domain. Liked it? Take a second to support Wu Jizun on Patreon!
