Each of the four approaches has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no absolute distinction between strong and weak.

But one thing is certain.

Cultivators at level 4 and above, regardless of their cultivation path, are stronger than those with only one ability!

...

Put down your phone.

After closing his eyes and digesting the information briefly, Sett lay down in the bushes and continued to keep watch alongside Ito Yumuri.

for a long time.

At the entrance to the wetland park, amidst the crowds created by the Onmyoji of Tianzhu using a combination of formations and illusions, Yongji Haidou was still nowhere to be found.

Could the witch's information be wrong? Sett wondered, then gently patted Ito Yumuri beside him and asked in a low voice, "Did you see anything unusual?"

Can...

Ito Yumuri didn't react at all!

Um! ?

Sett immediately shook him vigorously—but the latter remained unresponsive, his wide eyes appearing dazed…

"Heh, no need to waste your energy, Sett-Hughes, your teammates are already dreaming!"

A mocking voice suddenly rang out from behind Sett!

Chapter 57 Instantly Kills Level 5!! (Added from last night, 3/10)

Seeing that Ito Yumuri was unable to move, and hearing the inexplicable words behind him, Sett did not hesitate at all. He instantly sprang up and swung his elbow in a sweeping motion!

No matter who you are, eat my elbow first!

*Whoosh*

The peak physique of level 3 brings a surging, whistling sound of wind breaking through the air; this elbow strike alone can easily break bones and kill someone!

As Sett twists his body, his powerful dynamic vision also captures information through the corner of his eye.

This is a middle-aged man; specific details cannot be seen clearly at this moment, but I am very close to him.

Therefore, Sett's unsportsmanlike sneak attack will not miss!

immediately.

The elbow strike was indeed effective, landing squarely on the opponent's head.

But... Sett didn't feel any tactile sensation when hitting anything.

Instead, he passed right through the opponent. After the attack, the middle-aged man's head began to sway, like a reflection of flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water!

What the hell is that?

Sett didn't stop there. With his powerful core strength, he managed to stop the aftershock of the elbow strike, stepped forward, and threw a punch at his opponent's abdomen!

*Whoosh*

It's the same performance again.

Sett's fist struck the air as if it were hitting thin air, creating only ripples without any tangible sensation.

At the same time, the middle-aged man's head returned to normal, his eyes sweeping over the man with disdain, and his voice rang out again, mocking, "A waste of effort!"

Even though Sett was reckless, after two attacks, he realized something was wrong.

He took a half step back and glanced around.

The flat-chested little shrine maiden hidden in the bushes behind them, along with Kameda Kazumitsu, had their eyes wide open, but seemed dazed and lifeless. The Takeda team, which was further away, was in a similar state, and even the level 4 Buddhist monk Takeda showed the same absent-minded expression.

Sett quickly recalled the mission report he had seen earlier.

The middle-aged man before them should be Yongji Haidou, and according to the mission report, his special ability is some kind of illusion similar to a mirage...

The reason why the Ito Squad and the Takeda Squad are behaving this way is that they have unknowingly fallen into each other's illusions.

Is this something a level 4 ability user can do?

And the figure before them.

It's probably not the real entity, but just an illusion created by magic!

That's why my attack failed, but similarly, the opponent certainly can't attack me either... Thinking of this, Sett summoned the Critical Strike Gauntlets and put them on, but instead of rushing to attack, he searched for the opponent's true form with his eyes and said:

"Nagayoshi Kaito, right? The captain of Okimi Atsushi and Sajima Daitake, the mastermind behind the two assassinations."

Upon hearing this, Yongji Haidou's sparse eyebrows twitched slightly on his otherwise ordinary face.

"Not bad, you managed to find so much information."

"I just saw the Onmyoji's formation and soul illusion at the entrance to the wetlands, and I'm quite puzzled. I've been keeping such a low profile lately, so why did those guys from Ten-Pillar still ambush me... It's all because of you, isn't it? Seti-Shus."

Sett-Hughes... Hearing the other person once again give his full name like a weak, skeletal man, Sett was now completely certain that this guy was the real murderer.

"Ha, keeping a low profile? Sending two ability users to carry out assassinations in a week, you call that keeping a low profile? Tell me honestly, why did you try to assassinate me, and I might spare your life." Sett squinted and sneered.

"Haha! Spare my life? With your mere level 3 weakling... you're really talking big!"

Yongji Haidou seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and his tone changed abruptly as he accelerated toward Sett.

Seeing the fist coming at him, Sett didn't panic or even put up a defense.

He understood that what stood before him was merely an illusion created by magic; the true form...

Sett focused intently, using his significantly enhanced hearing after the upgrade to try and determine the direction of the wind around him.

Suddenly! Sett's eyes lit up!

Right there!

He spread his arms wide and unleashed the powerful Skull Cleaver. A tremendous suction force suddenly appeared from his palms, and Sett felt the "air" on his right side, which had seemed empty, become real.

If you dare to attack me, that will be the moment when you expose your weakness!

Once the "ball of air" was completely unable to resist the suction of the powerful skull-splitting technique and was pulled over, Sett suddenly followed up with a subsequent attack.

AT...

Just as he was about to unleash his passive, forceful tactics and connect them with the previous skill to subdue the enemy.

Sett suddenly sensed something was wrong and immediately stopped.

At this moment, the illusion of Yongji Haidou constructed in front of him suddenly exploded, and the "air" beneath him, which appeared to be empty from the outside, shed its disguise and revealed the true appearance of a young woman.

The woman looked young, with vacant eyes, and was holding a fruit knife, seemingly preparing to stab Sett.

At this moment, her chest had been smashed open by Sett's punch, leaving it caved in. Her breathing was barely perceptible, and she was on the verge of death.

If Sett hadn't noticed the wrong sensation immediately, dissipated the force, and interrupted his attempt to subdue the enemy...

She would probably die on the spot.

This is an ordinary person who is controlled by illusion magic!

Sett made a quick judgment, his brow furrowing.

"Heh, her name is Minako Omura, 24 years old, beautiful and approachable, just graduated from university, she had a bright future ahead of her...tsk tsk, too bad, she's about to be killed by you..."

Under a tree not far away, Yongji Haidou reappeared, a smirk playing on his lips as he introduced him.

That fucking scumbag!!

Sett was thoroughly enraged by Yongji Haidou's perverse sense of humor. He stomped his feet on the ground and suddenly closed in on his opponent with explosive speed, throwing a series of punches!

Swoosh swoosh €€€€

All attempts failed.

This is still just a mirage-like illusion.

Calm down, calm down... Sett took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Looking around the park, which was completely empty except for the illusory shadows, he simply closed his eyes, cutting off the "vision" that was so disruptive due to the illusion.

Listen closely to all the sounds of the air moving around you.

Relying on that unseen sixth sense... I slowly began to construct the current scene in my mind...

Just like when he was in school, he could directly determine the location of people with superpowers in parks and lakes.

Amidst the cacophony of breathing from the Ito and Takeda squads around him, and amidst the seemingly indistinct locations, Sett... finally locked onto his target!

He did not open his eyes.

But his body reacted instantly, activating the power to subdue the enemy, and rushed straight towards him.

The "target" in his mind saw Sett charging towards him and immediately took off running, but Sett, whose goal was quite clear, was even faster!

Bang!

A left punch that deals percentage-based damage strikes the target's back.

Based on the feel, it's a solid object!

Sett opened his eyes and saw that the illusion of ripples had finally faded, revealing the appearance of Yongji Haidou, a middle-aged man with an ordinary face!
