361 Chapter 361: Illusionary Reality

...

Hearing these words, Hu Liena couldn't help but grit her teeth, staring at Zeng Yi with a colder gaze.

Why does his words sound like he's mocking me?

Hu Liena thought that Zeng Yi was looking down on her because he defeated her once. Facing her full-powered fighting stance, he didn't seem to have any defenses and was joking with her.

Isn't that looking down on someone?

As the Saintess of the Martial Spirit Hall, she had to be proud and have absolute strength, otherwise, how could she impress others? Although she possessed exceptional talent, she had also worked extremely hard in her cultivation. It was not easy to achieve the level of a Spirit King at her age, not just solely based on talent, but through countless sweat and effort.

But even so, she was defeated by Zeng Yi when she challenged him, and his spirit power realm was even lower than hers. Hu Liena found it hard to accept this kind of failure.

She was frustrated for a while, but when her spirit recovered, she started training even harder in order to personally regain the humiliation she suffered from that person.

Hu Liena didn't say a word, but answered Zeng Yi's words with her actions.

Zeng Yi, who had been keeping his eyes on her, suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. He couldn't help but feel that Hu Liena's appearance had become even more beautiful, captivating, and mesmerizing, making it difficult for him to resist.

In the next moment, the pink aura had already permeated the air in front of her, and the sharp claws seemed to infinitely magnify in Zeng Yi's eyes, triggering a strong sense of crisis.

Those sharp claws on her delicate jade fingers were less than a centimeter away from Zeng Yi's face.

At such a close distance, coupled with Hu Liena's full-powered and extremely fast speed, even if Zeng Yi reacted, it would be difficult to avoid.

Hu Liena was also very surprised. She didn't expect that Zeng Yi would not react and just stand there stupidly.

In Hu Liena's horrified gaze, she watched her sharp claws pierce Zeng Yi's head, splattering bright blood splashes. She could even feel the warm liquid splashing on her face, along with the pungent smell of blood.

She could even see the pale brains.

Their figures passed by each other, and Hu Liena stupidly stood in place, while Zeng Yi behind her fell to the ground with a thud, blood staining the ground red.

I killed him!

Wide eyed, Hu Liena's face was full of disbelief, unable to believe that she had actually killed him.

She never thought about killing this man. She just wanted to have a showdown with him and regain the humiliation from their previous encounter. She never thought she had the ability to kill him, even though she lost to him last time due to carelessness. But she couldn't deny the fact that this man was strong, even stronger than her.

This time, she went all out to face him, using all her spirit skills and launching a surprise attack.

But even so, he shouldn't be unable to react to such an attack, right?

Wasn't he able to kill a Spirit King? Wasn't he able to effortlessly handle a 1 vs 7 match at the tournament? Is this the extent of his abilities?

Hu Liena panicked, becoming at a loss. Her delicate cheeks turned pale, and her body trembled slightly as she faced Zeng Yi lying lifelessly in a pool of blood.

Hu Liena wasn't a stranger to killing. Raised by the Martial Spirit Hall, she wasn't a bloodthirsty person, but far from a delicate young lady.

But now, she had personally killed someone, and that person was a talented disciple from the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect! To the Martial Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect wasn't a significant threat, but this person was someone highly valued even by the Teacher!

To the extent that they even arranged a marriage agreement with the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect.

He was her fiancé!

Hu Liena was dissatisfied with the arranged marriage, but she couldn't refuse the request of her Teacher. And the one she was engaged to was Zeng Yi. She couldn't say she disliked Zeng Yi.

Hu Liena was extremely proud, and she believed that if a man wanted to be with her, he had to be at least as strong as her.

She couldn't refuse this marriage, but she did accept it and acknowledged the fact that she would marry him.

But now, her fiancé had died at her own hands!

What is this?

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Under the moonlight, on the empty training ground, the girl let out a terrified scream.

At another place unknown to Hu Liena, Zeng Yi stood there, looking at the terrified girl over there.

"This..."

Looking at the terrified Hu Liena, Zeng Yi scratched his head awkwardly.

Did he go too far with the joke?

Hu Liena's sudden attack caught Zeng Yi off guard. However, her charm type control spirit skill didn't have much effect on Zeng Yi since his spiritual state was much higher than Hu Liena's. He immediately noticed and reacted to it.

But the effect of his [Mirror Flower, Water Moon] ability really exceeded Zeng Yi's expectations.

Watching Hu Liena attack the air in a panicked state, Zeng Yi felt an urge to laugh.

However, this ability of [Mirror Flower, Water Moon] was indeed powerful. Remember, Hu Liena was a Spirit King level expert. Without the [Mirror Flower, Water Moon] spirit skill, Zeng Yi could still defeat her, but it would be more challenging.

But with the use of [Mirror Flower, Water Moon], dealing with her was like playing with a child, extremely effortless.

Controlling the opponent's senses and placing them in a world he had designed, Zeng Yi could easily sneak behind his opponent and deliver a fatal blow.

However, this spirit skill consumed a considerable amount of mental power. Just controlling a Spirit King level opponent made Zeng Yi's head ache. If there were more people, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Forget it, let's not tease her anymore."

Zeng Yi chuckled and snapped his fingers.

Snap!

At that spot, Hu Liena's pale face was filled with panic. In a daze, she heard a crisp and loud snap next to her ear.

Her whole spirit trembled. At that moment, she seemed to see the world in front of her shatter like a mirror.

Hu Liena was stunned. The world was still the same, the scene was still the same, the only difference was that the lifeless Zeng Yi who had fallen in a pool of blood had disappeared without a trace. There was no trace of blood on the ground, and the bloody smell in the air had vanished, as if nothing had happened.

"That's it? The Saintess of the Martial Spirit Hall? I thought you were amazing. It seems like you're just an ordinary girl."

A mocking laughter came from behind.

Hu Liena's body jolted as if being electrocuted. She immediately turned around and faced the annoying person. He was there, a living person, with a smirk on his face, looking so irritating and deserving of a beating.

At this moment, no matter how foolish Hu Liena was, she understood that she had fallen into Zeng Yi's trap and was completely deceived by him.

Thinking about her earlier embarrassing performance, a rosy blush appeared on Hu Liena's delicate face, making her look enchanting. Her watery and enchanting eyes glared angrily at this despicable person.

"You! You! Bastard!"

Hu Liena glared at Zeng Yi, her hands clenched into fists, almost grinding her teeth. She spat out each word from her mouth.

She felt embarrassed and angry but at the same time, she knew that she had once again lost to him, and this time, it was even more tragic and humiliating than before.

Looking at Hu Liena, whose face was flushed with a mixture of anger and embarrassment, Zeng Yi pondered how to console her. He didn't want this woman to get angry and constantly cause trouble for him during his time in the Martial Spirit Hall, which would be uncomfortable for him.

But after a while, an unpleasant voice interrupted Zeng Yi's thoughts.

"Nana! What happened? Are you alright?"

Following this urgent voice, a figure enveloped in flames quickly rushed towards them from a distance.

Even though there was still some distance between them, Zeng Yi could feel a wave of scorching heat coming towards him.

Seeing someone approaching, Zeng Yi squinted his eyes and secretly glanced at the furious Hu Liena in front of him, shaking his head involuntarily.

There's no escaping it. What needs to come will come.

But he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Simps are coming!
