Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 1331: Fighting Back from a Distance
Whether it is the human continent or the demonic continent, most of the cultivators are wary of strangers when they are out and about. In order to avoid danger, many people will deliberately put on an attitude of keeping people at a distance. It is rare to find a young man named "Zhu Jian" with such a "familiar" personality.

In his words, he and Ye Xuan hit it off right away, and they were so close to getting Ye Xuan to chop off a chicken head and burn yellow paper to become sworn brothers. That level of enthusiasm was so overwhelming that Ye Xuan almost suspected that he had some bad intentions...

Helplessly being dragged by the other party to chat nonsense in the corridor for a long time, and finally rejecting the other party's invitation to go out for a midnight snack, Ye Xuan finally got away and entered his own guest room.

"Click..."

After locking the door, the helplessness and bitter smile on Ye Xuan's face disappeared immediately, replaced by a look of contemplation. He turned around and sat down on a chair in the living room, as if thinking about something.

When you are out, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Ye Xuan has always been like this. This Zhua Jian seems to be generous and free and easy, but gives Ye Xuan a feeling that he is unpredictable. Just now, when he was chatting with him, the other party seemed to casually ask about his background, but did not mention a word about his identity and other information. This also shows that the other party is not as simple as he seems.

Moreover, he always had a strange feeling about Ye Xuan, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

However, Ye Xuan did not think much about Zhu Jian, but instead thought about the three people from the Mu Ling tribe.

During his conversation with Zhu Jian just now, he also asked for some simple information about the Mu Ling tribe.

The Wood Spirit Clan is quite mysterious. Tens of thousands of years ago, the ancestor of the Wood Spirit Clan came to this continent alone. Relying on his wood-related magical skills, he intimidated the entire continent and founded the Wood Spirit Clan. At its most glorious time, it dominated one-tenth of the area of ​​​​this continent. However, it declined afterwards and suffered a great disaster ten thousand years ago. Until now, it has been reduced to a subordinate clan. However, even so, ordinary people dare not provoke the disciples of the Wood Spirit Clan when they walk outside.

The young man named Mu Wuyan who had a conflict with Ye Xuan just now was the son of the third elder of the Mu Ling tribe. His age was indeed as he looked, only twenty-five years old, but he had already reached the ninth level of the Saint King realm. He was considered a genius in this state. The woman in the green skirt was not simple either. She was the granddaughter of the great elder of the Mu Ling tribe. She was also extremely talented and practiced the Mu Ling Illusion Dao. According to Suo Zhuajian, this girl had a very eccentric personality and loved to tease people. The illusions she cast were hard to guard against, and some famous geniuses were very afraid of her.

As for the woman in the blue skirt, she is even more powerful. She is the princess of the Mu Ling tribe. Although she is young and seems gentle in character, her talent is far superior to the first two. She has already achieved the level of half-step immortality at an early stage. It is conceivable that she is not simple.

All three of them were in their twenties, but two of them were at the ninth level of Saint King realm, and one was half a step to immortality. It was no wonder that Mu Wuyan was so arrogant.

"It's just that she was born into a good family. Such domineering young masters and daughters can be found everywhere. It's ok for them to be arrogant in their own territory, but now they come to the Netherworld City and still act like this. Who knows how they will die sooner or later."

Ye Xuan shook his head secretly, put the matter of the Wood Spirit Clan aside, sat cross-legged on the chair, and began to meditate.

This superior guest room has a bedroom and a living room. Since Pang Yuxi is a female cultivator, Ye Xuan has no reason to occupy the bedroom and can only make do with the living room.

……

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Ye Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged in cultivation, looked rather grim. There was a hint of irritability between his brows, and the faint demonic energy lingering around him seemed to become somewhat disordered.

"Um……"

Suddenly, Ye Xuan retracted his magic power and ended his practice. He opened his eyes and frowned.

He just felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart, and he was already a little restless and irritable.

"Strange." Ye Xuan touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"Squeak."

Just then, he heard the sound of the bedroom door opening.

Needless to say, it was Pang Yuxi. He turned around and looked.

But his eyes narrowed.

Pang Yuxi, who had transformed into a loli, came in with a plate of food in her hand and was laughing. She had already taken off her outer clothes.

Ye Xuan opened his mouth slightly and was speechless.

"Uncle, let me cook for you!" Pang Yuxi said with a smile.

"."

Ye Xuan was shocked and stunned for a moment, not knowing what Pang Yuxi was up to.

Watching the other party walking towards him step by step, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed slightly.

Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something, and the beautiful pupils in his eyes suddenly appeared and spun. His brain hummed, and in an instant, his mind became clear.

Ye Xuan's face changed, and he stood up instantly. He said in a deep and cold voice, "Okay! You cast an illusion on us without anyone noticing, and I was caught. It seems that I underestimated you."

Pang Yuxi, who was lying on the bed, was surprised and asked, "You actually came out of my illusion?"

The voice of her speaking at this moment turned into the voice of another woman, the green-dressed girl from the Mu Ling tribe.

"Hmph!" Ye Xuan snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with coldness, and pointed a finger between Pang Yuxi's eyebrows, "It's rude not to reciprocate. Since you want to fight, then I will..."

"What are you doing!?" a girl screamed in surprise.

'Pang Yuxi' wanted to dodge, but his body was restrained.

Ye Xuan's pupils and soul were spinning, and a dark sword shadow of mental power penetrated into Pang Yuxi's brow from his fingertips.

This was the first time Ye Xuan encountered such a powerful illusionary technique, and he was still able to fall into it even with his powerful mental strength.

However, the opponent's secret method of casting illusions from a distance also has its drawbacks. People who practice this secret method not only need to consume extremely strong mental strength, but also when casting it, once they encounter an opponent with very strong spiritual power, or if the opponent has secret treasures and secret techniques to protect the soul, they are very likely to be counterattacked by the opponent. If they don't have time to escape, once the illusion is destroyed, although the master will not die, his mind will be greatly damaged.

Therefore, before performing this secret technique, the caster must confirm that the other party's mental strength is lower than his own before taking action.

The girl in green skirt from the Wood Clan would never have dreamed that Ye Xuan actually had an pupil soul that could actively protect its master and resist soul attacks.

Moreover, the power of Ye Xuan's spiritual power was beyond her expectations. He was able to get rid of her illusion so quickly.

In the eastern part of the city, in a rather grand inn, in a living room.

Mu Wuyan looked at Mu Cui'er with a worried look on his face, his forehead already covered in sweat.

Today's 'Wood Spirit Illusion Seed' went very smoothly at first. In his opinion, it would be a piece of cake for Mu Cui'er to deal with Ye Xuan.

However, not long after Mu Cui'er performed her secret technique and entered a state of meditation, her face changed drastically. She groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her green skirt moved without wind and her body trembled. It was obvious that the progress over there was not going smoothly.

Mu Wuyan was puzzled and puzzled. He did not think that Ye Xuan's mental power would be higher than that of Mu Cui'er, the genius of illusion. In his opinion, Ye Xuan was only at the Great Saint Realm, and no matter how strong he was, he would not be stronger than Mu Cui'er, who had already cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of the Saint King Realm.

Just as Mu Wuyan was racking his brains, Mu Cui'er's body suddenly shook violently, she let out a few screams of pain, a stream of blood spurted into the sky, and her body fell straight back.

"Mu Cui'er!" Mu Wuyan's face changed and he immediately rushed over.

"Mu Cui'er, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Mu Wuyan looked at Mu Cui'er's face nervously, his heart pounding.

This was the first time he saw Mu Cui'er in such a miserable state, and he was shocked and angry.

Mu Cui'er smiled bitterly, and an extremely weak voice came out of her mouth, "The opponent is also a powerful illusionist. We are doomed this time! Even the illusion seed that I have cultivated for nearly two years was shattered by the opponent!"

"What? That guy is so powerful?" Mu Wuyan couldn't believe his ears. The development of things was far beyond his expectations. Even Mu Cui'er suffered a backlash. Could it be that the hybrid human was actually a hidden master?

"Creaky!" The door was pushed open from the outside, and the woman in blue skirt and princess of the Mu tribe walked in.

"Cui'er, what's wrong with you?" She heard Mu Cui'er's screams of pain and came over to ask in confusion.

"Well...we..." Mu Wuyan hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Although he is usually arrogant towards other people, he is very afraid of the princess of the Mu tribe.

He didn't need to say anything. When Mu Lingyan, the princess of the Mu tribe, saw Mu Cui'er's miserable state, her face darkened. She thought of something and asked, "You are using illusion again, are you dealing with those two demon pattern humans?"

Mu Wuyan shrank his neck when he saw Mu Lingyan's expression, but Mu Cui'er shouted, "Sister, you have to make the decision for me. I just used an illusion to see what the master and servant had to rely on to be so arrogant. But I didn't expect that the guard was a master of illusion. When he saw my illusion, he attacked my illusion without any explanation. I was seriously injured by him because I was fighting from a distance."

Mu Lingyan's face darkened slightly, and she said, "Didn't I tell you not to bother with those two anymore?"

"But I'm just curious?" Mu Cui'er said.

In fact, she was instigated by Mu Wuyan, and she was bored, so she wanted to play a trick on Ye Xuan and the others.

Although this prank seemed very serious to others, Mu Cui'er didn't feel it.

At this moment, she was also angry because of the backlash.

Mu Cui'er shouted, "Sister, you must avenge me. I was just joking, but he was so cruel, and... and..."

"And what?" Mu Lingyan frowned.

"Besides, he also said that the so-so genius of the Wood Clan is nothing special. Not to mention me, even you, my sister, he doesn't take you seriously. If we meet you next time, he will definitely defeat and suppress you, strip you of your clothes, that, that." Mu Cui'er said.

Mu Lingyan was stunned when she heard Mu Cui'er's words, then she stared at Mu Cui'er in shame and anger and said, "Cui'er, is what you said true? Did the other party really say that?"

Mu Lingyan knew Mu Cui'er's character very well and was obviously a little bit unconvinced.

Mu Cui'er was scrutinized by the gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. But she still held her head high and said stubbornly, "When have I ever lied to anyone? If what I said is false, let me be pierced through the soul by the sword and suffer the pain of having my soul pierced!"

As she finished her words, the void in front of her suddenly twisted slightly, circles of space ripples appeared, and three pitch-black shadows appeared in the twisted void at some point. These three pitch-black shadows looked like three small swords, bending and squirming in the twisted void, emitting a powerful mental fluctuation.

"Oh no! He's actually chasing us from the opposite direction!?"

When Mu Cui'er saw the three dark sword shadows, she showed an extremely horrified expression on her pretty face and shouted "This is too much!"

He bit the tip of his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood, which shot straight into the twisted void.

However, it was too late. Three pitch-black sword shadows hit the wall of space like lightning. With a "crash" sound, the wall of space seemed to be smashed to pieces.

The three pitch-black sword shadows inside flashed flexibly in the air, avoiding the blood and essence sprayed by Mu Cui'er, and in a flash, they had already penetrated into Mu Cui'er's brain.

Mu Cui'er screamed, flew backwards, and howled in pain, holding her head.

Mu Wuyan and Mu Lingyan stared blankly at everything in front of them. The scene just now happened so fast that in a flash, neither of them could react.

Neither of them is very proficient in the art of illusion.

Seeing Mu Cui'er rolling on the ground howling in pain, Mu Wuyan felt his hands and feet go cold and his whole body go numb.

Mu Lingyan snorted coldly, flashed to Mu Cui'er's front, stretched out a slender jade finger and pointed it at her forehead. The next moment, Mu Cui'er stopped screaming and regained her composure. Her face turned even paler and she passed out.

Mu Lingyan's face turned cold, and she said, "What a vicious person! You have already punished Cui'er, but you still want to do this to me. Are you really underestimating that there is no one in my Mu Ling tribe?"
