Xuanxia

Chapter 417 Is it true or an illusion?

In the split second when he ran towards Qiu Chan, Fu Qingzhou felt a sense of regret.

At the beginning, the Smoker told him that they must ensure that the two of them remember the identities of their companions, otherwise it would be easy for them to kill each other and get deeper and deeper into trouble.

But after only breaking the first layer of illusion, he let Qiu Chan go and acted separately from her...

Although he thought he was careful enough, he was still careless.

Even now, Fu Qingzhou is not sure whether the voice of the smoker just now and Qiu Chan’s current condition... are they real?
But at the same time, he had to take action.

If everything he saw at this moment was real, and Qiu Chan really had made himself half dead, could he just stand by and do nothing?
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Qiu Chan.

He didn't know who he was in Qiu Chan's eyes now, but he was very sure that Qiu Chan was now... extremely dangerous!
Fu Qingzhou had only seen the murderous intent and anger in her eyes once.

That was the time when her senior sister was killed in Wanshi Town.

The soft sword stabbed at him, and Fu Qingzhou blocked it with his long knife, and at the same time grabbed her wrist holding the sword with his left hand - at this time he did not retract his strength at all. Qiu Chan in this state must be subdued as quickly as possible, the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would be.

But although her wrist was pinched, Qiu Chan shook her wrist, and as her internal energy extended, the soft sword unexpectedly bent, and the tip of the sword pierced Fu Qingzhou from behind like lightning.

Fu Qingzhou frowned, without even turning his head, he slightly tilted his body, and the large bow on his back served as a temporary shield, blocking the tip of the sword with a ding.

The next moment, he suddenly ducked and dodged, going behind Qiu Chan, intending to trip her and pin her down.

But just as he stretched out his hand, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared on Qiu Chan's back. The sharp sword light pierced through the clothes on her back and pierced Fu Qingzhou's forehead!

Fu Qingzhou was startled and turned his head to avoid the sword, but the sword light also left a bloody mark on his temple.

This made him break out in a cold sweat.

This little girl...how many hidden tricks does she have?
"hurry up!"

Fu Qingzhou's mind rang with the urging of the Smoker again: "This formation is connected to the outside world! The longer you delay, the easier it will be to be discovered! I can't hold on that long!"

"Nonsense, stop rushing me!" Fu Qingzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Don't I want to be quick? Use some tricks, old man!"

"I can't even support it at all!"

The smoker cursed, "Now even if I ask you to restrain a woman, you can't do it? What do you need my help for?"

Fu Qingzhou frowned slightly.

From what Yan Gui said, if he could control Qiu Chan and help her break the illusion, would that be considered solving the illusion?
Fu Qingzhou always had some doubts in his heart because he couldn't tell whether he was still in an illusion or had already escaped from it.

But the same thing happened. At the moment, he had no better solution.

It was not easy to deal with Qiu Chan. This woman had too many and complicated hidden tricks, and Fu Qingzhou could not really hurt her. After a lot of effort, he finally used grappling techniques to disarm her soft sword, pin her to the ground, and control her hands.

"You will definitely die."

After being pinned down, Qiu Chan did not struggle, but said coldly: "Even if I can't kill you, Ziqi Xianfeng Temple will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"

Fu Qingzhou sighed helplessly, pinched her chin, turned her face around, and aimed it at his eyes.

"look at me."

He whispered, "Look into my eyes."

Qiu Chan struggled desperately, trying to turn her face away and look away, but in the process, her pupils inevitably met Fu Qingzhou's eyes.

"This posture and this plot make it seem like some cheesy drama about a domineering CEO..." Fu Qingzhou complained and activated the Soul Capture.

At this time, Qiu Chan was struggling very hard and was extremely resistant in her heart. In addition, she was also a fifth-level practitioner and had opened one level of spiritual orifice. It was simply too difficult for Fu Qingzhou to control her.

Therefore, he did not think about controlling her mind.

Activating the Soul-Catching Spell was simply a way to make Qiu Chan relax... and fall into coma.

As Fu Qingzhou's eyes gradually became bloodshot and two thick lines of blood flowed from under his nose, Qiu Chan finally rolled her eyes and fainted.

"This illusion array..."

He wiped the blood from his nose and murmured, "Old man, what's wrong?"

"Almost done." The smoker's voice was also a little tired: "Damn, I'm really exhausted. I'm not kidding you. This time when I go back, you must get the magic iron for me to taste. I have helped you so much during this period of time, you must show your appreciation!"

"Just a token, just a token." Fu Qingzhou replied perfunctorily, "I'll get it for you when I get back."

As he spoke, he hung the longbow horizontally behind his waist, picked up Qiu Chan, and carried her on his shoulders. In this situation, the plan must be changed.

The investigation must be put on hold... He must subdue Wen Qingru and Wen Kui as soon as possible.

Moreover, he did not dare to let the female disciples of Ziqi Xianfeng Temple into the courtyard. It was still unclear whether the illusion array could be broken. If a group of people came in, they would all be bewitched. How could he continue to play then?
Fu Qingzhou, with a large bow hanging behind his waist, Qiu Chan on his shoulder and a long sword in his hand, walked towards the wing room step by step.

But at this moment, the door of the south wing suddenly opened!

Qiu Chan rushed out of the door, carrying the unconscious Wen Qingru on her shoulders, and shouted at him, "Have you finished your business?!"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked and turned his head sharply to look over his shoulder.

At this time, the person he was carrying on his shoulders was no longer Qiu Chan, but Wen Kui, who was old, ugly, short and fat.

A chill suddenly rose from the soles of my feet and rushed straight to my forehead!
He subconsciously threw Wen Kui from his shoulder to the ground and took several steps back.

"What are you doing?"

Qiu Chan frowned and asked, "Am I that scary?"

"Yeah, what are you doing?" The smoker's voice also rang out: "Isn't everything done?"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked again. He took off the jade token from his waist and held it tightly in his hand. He almost had the urge to smash it on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Qiu Chan asked again.

"What are you doing?" the smoker asked again.

These voices continued to surround him, and a sense of restlessness arose from the bottom of Fu Qingzhou's heart, lingering in his mind and unable to dissipate, making it almost impossible for him to think.

He looked at the person in front of him, the jade token in his hand, and the small courtyard in front of him. Almost for the first time... his mind was so confused that he couldn't think.

Is this... the illusion array carefully set up by a cave-sky-level expert?
Sure enough, it is much stronger than any illusion he has encountered before!
"Good good..."

Fu Qingzhou sneered, "Is that how you play? Fine, no matter how weird this yard is, it's only within the scope of this yard. I won't keep you company. I'm leaving!"

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

But at this moment, Qiu Chan's voice came from behind: "You damn pervert, stop him! He's leaving!"

Fu Qingzhou was startled and turned around, only to see that Wen Qingru and Wen Kui, who were in the courtyard just now, were gone, and Qiu Chan and another person were running towards him quickly... That person looked exactly like him?
Not only that……

At this moment, Fu Qingzhou suddenly discovered that the bow and sword in his hands had all disappeared and were in the hands of the person who looked like him?
What's worse is that when he lowered his head to look at himself, he found that he had turned into Wen Kui!
And just as he lowered his head, "Fu Qingzhou" and Qiu Chan had already approached, one wielding a sword and the other holding a knife, and they chopped at him heavily!
“No… No!”

Fu Qingzhou's pupils narrowed: "Something is wrong... Where exactly is it?"

He closed his eyes, forced himself to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and forced himself to calm down, quickly recalling every detail since entering the courtyard.

At this moment, time seems to stand still.

Si Yu drew a simple diagram of the courtyard. After entering the courtyard, he landed and walked one step, five steps, ten steps to the right... Then he separated from Qiu Chan and walked nine steps forward, encountering Hui Xin...

All the details quickly reviewed in his mind and finally turned into a thunder that exploded in his heart!

"I understand!"

Fu Qingzhou suddenly opened his eyes.

In the illusion, he had not noticed that according to the path he had just walked and the direction he had stepped on, he should have been outside the yard now... Even after several changes of position along the way, he should have been in other locations.

The location in this illusion is wrong... In fact, this is not the courtyard at all.

A sword and a knife came from the air and swung down towards his head.

But he no longer dodged or evaded. Instead, he squatted down and pressed his hands on the ground.

The next moment, two streams of true energy suddenly burst out from his bones and muscles!

These two true energies, one yin and one yang, one as cold as frost and the other as hot as fire, actually had a faint sense of substance when they surged out from his palms and slammed heavily into the ground!
Boom boom boom!

As Fu Qingzhou's true energy poured out from his palms, the entire courtyard seemed to have suffered an unparalleled force and began to tremble violently.

In an instant, cracks spread like a spider web, accompanied by a heart-pounding cracking sound, the ground of the courtyard began to collapse, bricks and stones flew, dust filled the sky, and then the surrounding walls were not spared, and collapsed in the aftermath of the true energy, turning into ruins.

And the swords and knives that were originally attacking Fu Qingzhou, including the two figures, and the ruins of the surrounding courtyard, also burst like bubbles in this earth-shaking shock and dissipated into nothingness.
