Simultaneous Transmigration: The Re-merging of 99 Selves

Chapter 175 Schizophrenia

Zhao Yu remembered the original plot: Shi Zhixuan had already split his mind due to practicing both Buddhism and demonism, with two personalities, one good and one evil, coexisting.

The evil king is determined to stir up chaos in the world, attempting to unify the six realms of demonic sects, bring the demonic sects to the surface, and seize control of the martial arts world.

The other personality, having practiced Buddhist techniques, still retains Buddhist compassion and guilt towards Bi Xiuxin, harboring good intentions and adhering to their original nature.

This is Shi Zhixuan's biggest weakness, and also Zhao Yu's only chance of winning.

Now, Zhao Yu's sharp tongue has finally brought him a good opportunity.

Seeing Shi Zhixuan charging in a rage, he no longer hesitated and instantly mobilized all his spiritual power to unleash the Soul Transfer Technique.

The pure and powerful spiritual energy transformed into invisible ripples, quietly spreading out and precisely locking onto the enraged Shi Zhixuan.

At the same time, Zhao Yu spoke very quickly and loudly.

"Senior Shi, if you continue to press your advantage and insist on killing me, I will reveal Shi Qingxuan's residence in Shu to the public. The Evil King has made countless enemies throughout his life, including righteous masters and demonic foes. When that happens, all sides will flock here, and with Miss Shi's abilities, she will surely suffer an undeserved calamity!"

"Even if the Evil King is a peerless hero, he can't fight against four hands. Can he really protect Miss Shi?"

The invisible psychological impact, coupled with words that struck at his weak points, instantly triggered Shi Zhixuan's split personality.

In mid-air, the violently attacking figure suddenly froze, its body trembling violently, its face twisting and changing unpredictably.

The conflicting emotions of evil tyranny and kind guilt plunged the evil king into a state of complete mental chaos.

Zhao Yu felt a sudden sense of relief, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

Only then did he realize that the out-of-control Shi Zhixuan was not in front of him at all, but appeared a few steps behind him to the right.

Even though Shi Zhixuan had fallen into a state of madness, his rich combat experience still made him instinctively choose the most advantageous position to attack.

They even created illusions in front of Zhao Yu to confuse him.

Just now, Zhao Yu was on edge. When he saw Shi Zhixuan coming at him so fiercely, he subconsciously predicted that the other party would attack head-on.

After all, judging from Shi Zhixuan's appearance, Zhao Yu never expected that he would resort to underhanded tactics in this state.

Therefore, he almost misjudged the situation. If he hadn't been able to trigger the other party's personality split in time, Zhao Yu would probably have fallen victim to it the next moment.

With his internal strength, even if he doesn't die, the consequences of taking a full-force attack from Shi Zhixuan would be unimaginable.

Regaining his composure, Zhao Yu pressed his advantage, speaking sincerely: "Senior Shi, I have no intention of being your enemy, nor do I wish to involve the innocent Miss Shi. It is all because Senior Evil King has been relentlessly pressuring me, attempting to kill me. I had no choice but to resort to this tactic!"

"I hope you will investigate this matter thoroughly, senior!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the violent and cold killing intent around Shi Zhixuan suddenly faded away, and his entire demeanor changed drastically.

His originally ferocious, bloodshot eyes gradually calmed down, the malevolence in them vanished, replaced by peace and exhaustion.

Shi Zhixuan stopped, looked at Zhao Yu, his tone filled with helplessness and doubt, and completely switched to another personality.

"You brat, where on earth did you learn so many secrets? Xiuxin, Qingxuan, and the flaws in my inner demons are all my lifelong secrets. Even that old Taoist priest Ning Daoqi might not know the whole story. Could it be that Qingxuan told you?"

He simply couldn't understand how a nobody from the martial arts world could know his hidden identity.

Moreover, Zhao Yu was even fully aware of Shi Zhixuan's symptoms of schizophrenia, and even specially cultivated a mental technique to induce him to appear.

The only reasonable guess is that his daughter, Shi Qingxuan, leaked the information.

Zhao Yu concealed his aura and bowed respectfully: "Junior greets Senior Shi. May I ask, Senior, that ruthless and tyrannical evil king should not show himself for the time being, right?"

Shi Zhixuan glared at him, his tone tinged with anger: "If you provoke him any further, I won't be able to control myself anymore. Get out of here while I can still control my mind!"

He spoke without any politeness.

Shi Zhixuan's other personality is extremely evil and yin, but that doesn't mean that this personality is a nice guy.

He was ultimately a member of the Demonic Sect. He let Zhao Yu go because he wasn't 100% sure he could capture him, and he was also worried about his daughter's safety, which is why he relented.

Zhao Yu smiled awkwardly, not daring to say anything more, and immediately used his lightness skill to gracefully retreat.

But just as he moved, Shi Zhixuan behind him spoke again, stopping him.

"stop."

Zhao Yu paused, his heart tightening slightly, and slowly turned around.

Shi Zhixuan frowned: "Although I have temporarily suppressed my evil thoughts today, this is not a long-term solution. Just now, you used a mental technique to cause my inner demon to split, and he already holds a deep grudge against you. From now on, his desire to kill you will only grow stronger, and he will never let it go. You must be extremely careful when you travel the world in the future."

Zhao Yu solemnly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for the reminder, senior. I will keep it in mind."

"And another thing." Shi Zhixuan's eyes suddenly sharpened, carrying a strong warning, "Qingxuan is my only concern. You know her whereabouts, but remember, you must not harbor any ill intentions, and you must not take this opportunity to provoke her. If I find out that you have designs on her, no matter the reason, and no matter where you escape to, I will use all my strength to kill you!"

"I understand!" Zhao Yu replied quickly, his attitude sincere. "I have never had any desire for Miss Shi. What I said today was just a self-protective measure in a moment of desperation, and I have no intention of offending her. I will definitely keep my mouth shut in the future and never reveal any trace of Miss Shi."

Shi Zhixuan gave him a deep look, then waved his hand impatiently: "Get lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed drastically. His peaceful and gentle demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and violent killing intent. His evil king personality quietly revived.

"Kid, you think you can run away—?"

Before he could finish speaking, his face contorted violently again, and another personality forcefully took over, speaking urgently: "Go! If we don't leave now, I won't be able to control him anymore!"

Shi Zhixuan's schizophrenia was forcibly triggered by Zhao Yu, and the relative strength of the two personalities has always been a settled matter. The evil personality has always firmly held the upper hand, and only when he sees his daughter will Shi Zhixuan's gentle personality briefly come online.

Now that he has talked so much with Zhao Yu, his mind is in turmoil, and he will soon be unable to hold back.

Zhao Yu dared not be negligent in the slightest. He pushed his Lingbo Weibu footwork to its limit, his figure turning into a blur as he sped away from the edge of the forest without looking back.

The wind whistled past his ears as he used his lightness skill to its fullest extent, continuing his journey without stopping.

Only when the forest behind him had completely receded into the distance and he could no longer sense any trace of Shi Zhixuan's presence did Zhao Yu slow down his pace, exhale a long breath, and look solemn in his eyes.

This battle with the evil king Shi Zhixuan ultimately ended without serious danger, and he barely escaped.

But he knew in his heart that this was only a temporary end, and Shi Zhixuan would catch up sooner or later.

After determining the direction, Zhao Yu continued walking towards Gaoyou without stopping.
