In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 404 Head falls to the ground
Hua Baoyu roared, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body.

Like a tidal wave, it swept everyone backward.

What's even more terrifying is that they feel like their very souls are about to be blown out.

My mind wavers, my spirit is in a daze, and my soul seems to have a hard time returning to my body.

"Brother Baoyu is still so strong!"

Xie Lingxin was also shocked.

Although he wasn't as disheveled as the other members of the Hua clan, he still felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Although I had heard that this Master Bao was very strong, seeing him in person was still more impressive than I expected.

I'm afraid he's not much worse than Xiao Longtu, who kept his identity very well hidden.

At this time, they are all mental constructs, which are somewhat different from their actual physical bodies.

If it were in the material world, with a physical body to rely on for protection, even if he wasn't a match, Hua Baoyu wouldn't be able to withstand him so easily just by leaking his mental power.

Within the realm, the Mind Master ultimately has the advantage.

The terrifying surge of emotions transformed into a flurry of flower petals amidst Hua Baoyu's furious roar.

The dreamlike and beautiful scene, while dazzling and mesmerizing, also instilled waves of fear in those who couldn't help but be captivated.

The sharp aura pierced everyone's hearts, as if those were not flower petals, but countless sharp blades flying everywhere.

Countless petals danced, like butterflies fluttering away, scattering throughout the city.

It fell on everyone's head.

Everyone's face was filled with terror.

That terrifying, sharp aura made even mortals feel the approach of death.

But just as the petals were about to land on the first person's head, they suddenly stopped.

Hua Baoyu slowly lowered her outstretched hands, and the petals fluttering in the air suddenly disappeared.

But everyone saw that his hands were clenched tightly and trembling uncontrollably.

His face was filled with struggle, almost contorted in pain.

His eyes were bloodshot, shifting between hesitation and murderous intent.

"What, what's going on?"

The city's residents, now freed from the shadow of death, were still reeling from the shock.

"Sorcery! It's sorcery!"

"It must be those two sorcerers!"

Someone suddenly shouted in terror.

"So what if he's a demon?!"

"That vixen Ning Mingming had the antidote, yet she refused to save us! She deserved to die! Even Heaven couldn't bear to see her perish, so it let her die suddenly! What does it have to do with us?"

"I've already contracted the plague! I don't have many days left to live! I might as well fight this last monster to the death!"

"The demoness is dead, so this sorcerer must still have the antidote on him!"

That shout ignited the anger in many people's hearts.

Yes, they were already going to die...

It's all that witch's fault; she clearly had the medicine, but refused to save them.

Now that the demoness is dead, they were together, so how could there be no antidote for the one left?
"Yes! He stood by and watched someone die! Kill him!"

One by one, emaciated people, their eyes seemingly gleaming with a predatory red light, stared intently at Hua Baoyu and slowly surrounded her.

Although he was alive, he already resembled a ghost seven parts over.

More people gathered from all directions.

They quickly surrounded the area, making it completely impassable.

"You...you beasts..."

Hua Baoyu was trembling all over and could not speak clearly.

Hua Baojia was furious when she saw this and ran over.

"What do you want to do!?"

The members of the Hua clan also stepped forward to shield Hua Baoyu behind them.

Although Hua Baoyu is stronger than any of them, her current condition is clearly not right.

"Who are you? This is a monster! Get out of the way! We're going to kill him!"

Many people carried wooden sticks or stones.

He shouted that he wanted to beat Hua Baoyu to death.

"Ah!"

Hua Baojia laughed in anger. A bunch of mortals actually dared to shout and kill at cultivators?

"Second brother, what exactly happened?"

Hua Baorui came to his side and asked in a low voice.

Hua Baoyu took a deep breath, her legs gave way, and she sat down on the ground.

"...It was them who drove Yao Yao to her death!"

Everyone was stunned.

"This is probably his deepest obsession."

Xie Lingxin said from the side.

"Obsession?"

Hua Baorui quickly realized what was going on.

The scene before my eyes is most likely the scene when Nianyao died.

Whether it was the previous wedding banquet or the scene in this city.

All of these thoughts arose from Hua Baoyu's mind.

Xie Ling thought to herself, "If you want to take him away, I'm afraid he'll have to break free from his obsession and willingly leave this illusion."

"Break free from obsession..."

Hua Baorui asked, "What should we do?"

Xie Lingxin didn't answer, but squatted down next to Bao Yu: "Second Master Bao, you said they killed your lover, why didn't you kill them? You could have easily killed everyone just now."

"me……"

Hua Baoyu's eyes struggled: "They...they are the people Yaoyao wanted to save. Yaoyao risked her life to save them. How can I disregard Yaoyao's wishes and kill them..."

"..."

Xie Lingxin was speechless.

He finally understood why Hua Baorui called him a womanizer...

"Then can you tell me how they killed Nianyao?"

A look of pain flashed in Hua Baoyu's eyes.

"This realm was discovered by chance by Yao Yao and me; even our clan didn't know about it..."

"They won't let me be with Yao Yao. I outwardly agreed, but in reality, I had already decided to hide in this realm with Yao Yao and live there, ignoring everything else..."

Upon hearing this, the Hua family members all looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Second Brother! How could you do this!" Hua Baojia turned around and glared at him.

Hua Baoyu, however, seemed not to hear her and continued muttering, "Although this realm is a bit chaotic, with Yao Yao's and my cultivation levels, we can protect ourselves."

"As long as we stay away from the hustle and bustle, the beautiful landscape can accommodate the two of us."

"But... Yao Yao is kind-hearted, and she can't help but lend a helping hand when she sees someone suffering."

"She came from a branch of a family of alchemists and was skilled in both medicine and alchemy. I accompanied her on her travels around the world, practicing medicine and helping people along the way..."

“Until we arrived here… a large-scale plague broke out in this place, but Yao Yao discovered that it wasn’t an ordinary plague,”

"It was deliberately spread by someone, containing some kind of strange power that even Yao Yao couldn't remove,"

"But every day I see people dying, and I even see people exchanging children..."

"Unable to bear it any longer, she kept trying and searching for ways to refine elixirs,"

"Finally, she found it and concocted a miraculous elixir that could cure those people's plague,"

"But... that kind of elixir requires her own blood as a medicinal ingredient..."

"Although this will damage her foundation, she believes she can save everyone given enough time to recover,"

"but……"

As Hua Baoyu spoke, her eyes revealed intense anger and hatred.

"These beasts... they knew Yao Yao could save them, so they ganged up on her!"

"Yao Yao couldn't bear to refuse, so she agreed to treat them, but that required using her blood to refine the pills!"

"With so many people, they couldn't possibly save more than a few. They exhausted her life force and damaged her very foundation,"

"But instead of showing any gratitude, these people became even more ruthless!"

"Yao Yao was driven to her death by them time and time again!"

"Even in death, she never blamed those beasts... She said her only regret was not being able to save everyone..."

"How could I kill the person she risked her life to save? How could I kill her?"

"But I really hate them, I hate them so much... I wish I could tear them to pieces!"

Xie Lingxin: "..."

Hearing Hua Baoyu's somewhat mournful voice, he really didn't know what to say.

The Hua family members fell silent for a moment.

I don't know if it's a lack of understanding or empathy.

Hearing this, the common people quieted down, and some of them showed expressions of remorse.

Xie Lingxin simply couldn't understand this kind of person.

Whether it's Nianyao, who's almost a saint, or Hua Baoyu, who's obsessed with love.

But there is one thing he can empathize with.

"What does this have to do with us? She had the medicine but refused to save people! Heaven took pity on her and took her away!"

At this moment, some of the people shouted again.

"Exactly! What alchemy? Who uses blood to refine pills? That's just a monster! I don't know what it's up to!"

"Don't be afraid of them! There are many of us! Kill the demon!"

"You bastards!"

Hua Baojia was so angry that she trembled all over.

If Hua Baoyu hadn't said they couldn't be killed, she would have already hacked them to pieces.

When had she ever been wronged like this?
"laugh--!"

A faint sound was heard, like the sound of tearing cloth.

The person who shouted the loudest suddenly had their head roll off their neck.

"..."

There was a moment of silence in the arena, then an explosion erupted.

"Killing—!"

Panic spread instantly.

A group of emaciated people scattered and fled.

Xie Lingxin stood up and turned around.

The anger in his chest transformed into invisible sword energy, swirling and dancing around his body.

Although it lacked the imposing presence of Hua Baoyu earlier, its sharpness was in no way weaker, and perhaps even surpassed it.

"The Seven Emotions Formless Sword Qi?!"

Hua Baorui blurted it out.

"This is not Ming..."

He shut up before he could finish speaking.

This was the unique skill of the prestigious Ming family, yet it ended up in Xie Lingxin's hands.

To put it bluntly, it could lead to death.

"what are you doing!"

Hua Baoyu looked surprised, then angrily retorted.

Xie Lingxin ignored it.

The invisible sword energy of the seven emotions surged forth like the buzzing of bees and the rolling waves.

They precisely prey on everyone who has ever made a fuss.

Memorizing these people's faces and scents was effortless for him.

"Ding! Ding ding!"

A series of sounds.

Countless petals danced in the air, deflecting the sword energy.

"Second brother!"

Facing Hua Baoyu, who was blocking her way, Xie Lingxin smiled and said, "Didn't you want to kill them? I'm just helping you."

Hua Baoyu roared in fury: "I told you! They can't die!"

"Why can't I die?"

Xie Lingxin laughed and said, "You want to say that they are all living beings? But this is not even a realm; it is just an illusion created by your obsession."

"In reality, everyone has faced difficult situations."

"I dare not say that I would be able to make the right choice if I were in your situation. Perhaps I would be even worse than you."

"But this is just an illusion. If you don't even dare to kill the person you hate in an illusion, then you don't even dare to fantasize about them in your heart?"

"If someone can't even fantasize, they might as well be dead; they wouldn't waste our time."
Hua Baoyu remained silent, stunned.

"Om~!"

Taking advantage of Hua Baoyu's distraction, Xie Lingxin's Seven Emotions Formless Sword Qi suddenly erupted.

In an instant, all the surrounding civilians were beheaded...
