A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 375 Illusion
As the scene in front of him became blurry, Wei Ziyang's ears suddenly became silent, as if the sound had been taken away.

At the moment the sound was removed, the scene in front of me finally reappeared after shaking for a while.

It was still the street of Xiangu County, but the entire street was empty, without even a single person in sight.

The Xiangu County town in front of him seemed to have become a deserted city.

"This is……"

Although Wei Ziyang was in a strange situation, his mind remained clear.

"It's a soul illusion!"

"I was taken in by an illusion. My soul entered the illusion!"

Wei Ziyang suddenly heard a loud noise. The sound was so vague that it seemed to come from far away, and it disappeared in an instant.

Wei Ziyang walked slowly to where the sound came from, staring intently and thinking deeply, trying to find a breakthrough point to break the illusion before him.

But when he got there, the sound had disappeared, and there was only an old courtyard wall covered with moss.

At this moment, snow began to fall on the empty Xiangu Street...

As soon as Wei Ziyang noticed the snowflakes falling, he suddenly realized that the whole world was already silver-white.

The entire Xiangu Street was dead silent. Wei Ziyang's feet made a crackling sound as they stepped on the snow.

He had just taken a few steps when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a person lying in the snow on the side of the street.

The man was covered with a thin layer of snow, lying face down in the snow. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Wei Ziyang's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly approached. He found that the snow under the man suddenly turned into a pool of bright red blood the moment he approached.

Although he knew that he was in an illusion, Wei Ziyang still turned the man over out of curiosity.

After turning him over, I saw a rusty axe stuck in the man's chest.

For some reason, the handle of the axe made Wei Ziyang feel a pain in his heart.

"This... a hatchet?"

Wei Ziyang looked at the man's face, and a long-forgotten memory suddenly came to his mind.

He already remembered who this person was.

This person is the first person he killed in his life!

He was thirteen years old that year! This man was a scoundrel in the village. When he came back from chopping wood that day, he happened to see this man breaking into his house and trying to humiliate his mother. Wei Ziyang was furious and stabbed the scoundrel to death.

When the incident became public, the man's relatives threatened to sue the authorities. Wei Ziyang fled the village in panic.

Wei Ziyang continued walking along the empty street when he suddenly saw seven or eight corpses hanging from a dead tree on the street.

Wei Ziyang immediately recognized one of the old men wearing official clothes!
That was a manor he had robbed after becoming a bandit. That night, he and his brothers killed every man, woman, and child in the manor!

Wei Ziyang walked forward, and every person he killed appeared one by one on both sides of the street.

This snow-covered street was like a corridor of time marked by the killings of his life.

Wei Ziyang stopped there. He doubted whether he had the courage to walk to the end of this street...

Does a person really have the courage to look back at the sins of his life?
Does he have it?
At this moment, the snow-covered street before him suddenly collapsed, the illusion dissipated, and a real world emerged again behind the collapsed illusion...

The sounds in my ears suddenly became chaotic, a reverberation of a truly chaotic world...

Wei Ziyang suddenly found that he was still standing next to the dilapidated carriage, and a black iron arrow fell in front of him.

Tian'er's headless bloody corpse fell not far away. It seemed that some time had passed. The pool of blood from Tian'er's headless bloody corpse had spread to his feet.

Wei Ziyang turned around and saw a ragged young man standing on the courtyard wall not far away. He held the bow in one hand, and the bowstring was still vibrating.

It is obvious that this is the person who killed Tian'er!

When Duan Rong heard the eagle's cry and looked up, he saw four figures jumping down from the circling Yunling Wild Eagle above his head.

The four of them seemed to be using the power of a thousand-pound weight. In mid-air, they suddenly accelerated and fell to the ground with a bang, like a meteorite breaking through the air!

At that moment, Duan Rong used his mind to break the illusion that was controlling Wei Ziyang's soul!
The reason why Duan Rong dared to attack Wei Ziyang and Ge Qinglei before the sect's support arrived was because he had calculated in his mind that he should be able to subdue Wei Ziyang by using the soul illusion technique.

Duan Rong has been in the Endless Mountains for three years. In addition to achieving the great perfection of the Qi Realm, he has also achieved the second level of the Soul Illusion, Firefly!

If he didn't have this skill, how could he dare to attack Wei Ziyang!

After all, this person held the title of Grand Altar Envoy, and as the saying goes, a great reputation is always worthy of honor. Duan Rong had already had some contact with the Filthy Blood Sect and knew how deep its waters were. Moreover, he was one of the five Grand Altar Envoys. How could Duan Rong not be wary?

In fact, Duan Rong’s original plan was that after Xiao Yu, Ximen Kankan and others killed Ruan Fengshan, they would withdraw!
As for Wei Ziyang and Ge Qinglei, with his current strength, he cannot kill them for the time being!

But at this moment, support from the sect arrived!
Now that the sect’s support has arrived, let’s leave Wei Ziyang and Ge Qinglei to them!
Duan Rong saw the right opportunity and lifted the soul illusion, because continuously using the second-level Mars to capture Wei Ziyang's soul was quite exhausting for Duan Rong.

The moment Duan Rong lifted the soul illusion, Wei Ziyang slapped him with a palm. His palm was as red as blood, and blood veins were tangled and wriggling on the surface...

Duan Rong leaped up and retreated in a certain direction!
Wei Ziyang's eyes were fierce as he approached and slapped Duan Rong in the face with his palm!
The two were in mid-air, and Duan Rong could even faintly smell the nauseating smell of blood emanating from Wei Ziyang's bloody hand that slapped him in the face.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Duan Rong. The man grabbed Duan Rong and pulled him away, then slapped out with his palm, and faced Wei Ziyang in mid-air!
There was a muffled sound of "bang"!
The two of them stepped back and landed gracefully on the ground!

The moment Wei Ziyang landed, he found that there were already three people surrounding him in the center.

The ragged young man stood far behind the three of them.

When the eagle cried just now, he was still in the illusion of his soul and did not notice that someone was falling from the sky.

A total of four people jumped down from the Yunling Crazy Eagle.

Another person was already engaged in a fight with Ge Qinglei, who was not far away! Ge Qinglei's body was covered in blood and pus, and he was beaten into pieces by the man.

Duan Rong dodged Wei Ziyang's palm just now. He was covered by his spiritual sense and deliberately chose the direction of the person falling from the Yunling Wild Eagle!

Among the three people surrounding Wei Ziyang, there was one who was tall and slender, wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, and seemed to be less than 30 years old.

This man's name was Jiang Zhe, and he was the leader of this sect's support operation. Jiang Zhe turned his head to look at Duan Rong and said, "Are you Duan Rong?"

He was quite surprised by Duan Rong's ragged clothes and dirty, greasy hair.

Just now on the Yunling Wild Eagle, they had all seen this man, bent their bows and shot him, one arrow took one life, as fast as a meteor!

One by one, the bloody corpses were shot in the head and scattered all over the streets!

Even though they were all cultivators at the Yuanqi realm, they were still amazed for a moment!
Duan Rong also glanced at Jiang Zhe. This was the man who had just pulled him away and taken Wei Ziyang's palm strike! Duan Rong chose the direction where he fell because this man had the highest cultivation level among the four people who came! The second level of the Yuan Qi realm!
Duan Rong clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Senior Brother, I am Duan Rong."

As the saying goes, the more courtesy you show, the less blame you will get. Duan Rong was very respectful as soon as he came.

Jiang Zhe nodded slightly and asked, "Where is the chief altar envoy?"

"This person is Wei Ziyang, the chief altar master!" Duan Rong said, pointing at the man surrounded by them in the center.

"Alright!" Jiang Zhe shouted, "Follow me and take down this beast!"

Xiangu County is located in a remote area, and Jiang Zhe and his friends got lost, which is why they arrived a few hours late.

At this moment, what Jiang Zhe was most worried about was that if he was a few hours late, the chief altar's envoy would escape.

If the chief altar envoy escapes at the hands of them, how can he report to the sect when he returns?
Now, after hearing Duan Rong say that the person in front of him was the chief altar's Dharma envoy, Jiang Zhe was overjoyed. Although he arrived a few hours late because he got lost, at least no disaster happened!

Wei Ziyang and Ge Qinglei were dealt with by the sect's Yuanqi realm experts, so Duan Rong left and looked towards Xiao Yu, Ximen Kankan and the others.

Sun Qian was holding a judge's pen, and Ruan Fengshan was holding a green water knife. Both of them were covered in blood and wriggling.

Both of them had achieved the third level of the Divine Art of Filthy Blood. Although they were surrounded by Xiao Yu, Ximen Kankan and the other three and could not escape, Xiao Yu and the others could not hurt them for the time being. Their attacks with all their might were almost all absorbed and dissolved by the blood threads floating and wriggling around the two men.

Xiao Yu pursed her lips, the knife in her hand becoming increasingly sharp. She had already exerted all her strength, but it was still difficult to break through Ruan Fengshan's defense, which was covered in blood.

At this moment, Duan Rong suddenly stood not far away!
When Xiao Yu saw Duan Rong, his eyes moved.

Ruan Fengshan and Sun Qian's hearts were pounding and their faces changed instantly!

Just now, Duan Rong was like a killing god. He bent his bow and shot Wei Tian in front of Wei Ziyang. Then, one arrow after another, like the flowing moon and flying stars, he shot all the brothers in Xiangu County to death!

Therefore, when Ruan Fengshan and Sun Qian saw Duan Rong standing not far away, their faces turned pale!
Xu Dianye was at the third level of the Filthy Blood Divine Art. The place where he was hiding in disguise was also the closest to here. He was shot dead by Duan Rong with one arrow!
How could the two of them stop Duan Rong's arrow that was as deadly as a ghost or god's?

At this moment, Ruan Fengshan still knew that the person who killed Bai Rong last night must be Duan Rong! But he really didn't expect it!

Three years ago, at the Yuanshun Escort Agency, he had witnessed Duan Rong's transformation over the past year. He had never doubted Duan Rong's talent and character! He knew that after three years, Duan Rong would definitely be even more powerful!
When he was guessing about Duan Rong and Xiao Yu's identities, he had expected that Duan Rong must be an outer disciple!

But at this moment, he realized that he had greatly underestimated Duan Rong!
In three years, Duan Rong had mastered such a formidable archery skill! This was truly unbelievable, completely beyond common sense!

Archery is known as the most difficult martial art in the world! Apart from the children of aristocratic families with a long history of learning, only a madman would choose to practice archery!

As soon as everyone saw Duan Rong, Duan Rong had already drawn his bow and arrow, and the black python bow in his hand was instantly drawn to the full moon!
At this moment, Ruan Fengshan and Sun Qian seemed to have stopped breathing.

"Duan Rong..."

Ruan Fengshan wanted to say something, but the bowstring in Duan Rong's hand suddenly rang like a muffled thunder, and the black iron arrow was wrapped in the air flow and flashed past.

Sun Qian's head exploded instantly, but the judge's pen in his hand was still dancing!

The black iron scroll blew Sun Qian's head to pieces, but its momentum remained undiminished as it shot towards Ruan Fengshan beside him!

Ruan Fengshan's scalp suddenly felt numb as if it had been electrocuted!

Kill two birds with one stone! ?

The blood threads that were wriggling and floating around Ruan Fengshan's body suddenly gathered together, but they were still pierced by the black iron arrow and collapsed!
After piercing through two blood threads of the third level of the Filthy Blood Divine Art in succession, the momentum of the Black Iron Arrow was slightly weakened!
Ruan Fengshan's eyes were fierce, his true energy was surging, and he used all his strength to chop the black iron arrow that was shot at him with the Green Water Knife in his hand. He wanted to knock the black iron arrow, which seemed to be at the end of its strength, away!

But with a "ding" sound, the green water knife in Ruan Fengshan's hand actually hit the black iron arrow!

A spark bursts out!
Ruan Fengshan's knuckles were cracked, his wrist was instantly broken, and the Green Water Knife in his hand flew out of his hand!

The black iron arrow was hit and tilted slightly, and pierced into Ruan Fengshan's shoulder!
Ruan Fengshan's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. It was obvious that blocking Duan Rong's arrow had exhausted him greatly!
After Duan Rong shot the arrow, he turned and left!

With this arrow, he killed Sun Qian and crippled Ruan Fengshan! The rest of the finishing was left to Ximen Kankan and Xiao Yu.

Moreover, Duan Rong left Ruan Fengshan behind so that Xiao Yu could kill him and avenge her father personally!
Everyone looked at Duan Rong's back, all of them were shocked. They knew Duan Rong was powerful, but when they really faced him, the gap was too big.

The four of them joined forces to lay siege for a long time, but they were unable to make any progress! Duan Rong killed one and a half with a single arrow! And they all wondered if Duan Rong had deliberately spared Ruan Fengshan's life.
Yang Zhen, who was sitting in a teahouse not far away and watching the battle by the window, seemed to be petrified.

The scene of Duan Rong, like a god of death descending to the world, drawing his bow and arrow, shooting the remaining bloody evildoers, was so shocking that it pierced his heart directly!
If Duan Rong three years ago was an insurmountable mountain for him, then Duan Rong three years later was already a god!
Three years ago, he still had a trace of jealousy in his heart, but at this moment, Yang Zhen only had the emotion of prostrating himself in worship!

The rat only hates the eagle, but it would never dare to hate the sky!

Duan Rong turned around and looked at Jiang Zhe and the others.

In just a short while, Ge Qinglei's arms and legs were cut off, and a black long sword pierced through his shoulders and nailed him to the ground!

His arms and legs were scattered all over the place, with blood wriggling in them!
The blood all over Ge Qinglei's body was wriggling like pus and blood, but he was not dead. He was gasping for breath with a pale face.

Duan Rong's eyes moved slightly. The blood threads around Ge Qinglei's body were quite strong. Even his black iron arrows could not penetrate the defense of his Divine Blood Skill. In just a short while, he was nailed to the ground and lost his combat power!

He is indeed a strong man in the Yuanqi realm!

But when Duan Rong looked past Ge Qinglei and looked at the battle further over there, his eyelids trembled.

I saw four figures surrounding Wei Ziyang and attacking him from the front and back!
The air flow burst and splashed, and sand and rocks flew wherever it passed!

Four powerful men in the Yuanqi realm!

But Wei Ziyang fought against four people alone and was not at a disadvantage at all!

Moreover, Wei Ziyang at this time was no longer a human being, but a demon god!
Wei Ziyang's whole body was covered in red. His muscles, skin, and clothes had all disappeared. His entire body was made up of tangled blood threads!

And beneath the densely tangled and wriggling blood vessels, a crimson skeleton was faintly visible!
"This is……!?"

Wei Ziyang's Divine Blood Art had clearly reached an incredible state. Although he hadn't yet formed a portable blood infant like Fu Yi, the leader of the Divine Blood Sect, he was clearly completely different from the average Divine Blood Sect member!

Duan Rong had never seen this state of the Divine Art of Filthy Blood, nor had he ever read about it in any book.
