Chapter 270: The Willful Horse Also Hurts People

“Plop! Plop!”

Li Fan's heart suddenly began beating violently and uncontrollably.

It was as if he had witnessed with his own eyes his own tragic death not long after.

Li Fan subconsciously recited "True" in his heart and returned to the anchoring moment.

However, in a split second, he felt something was wrong and stopped forcibly.

The Xuanhuang Heart Refining Mantra slowly crushed the fear that kept emerging in his heart, turning it into mental nourishment, while also buying Li Fan a precious opportunity to think calmly.

"Could it be that Zhang Zhiliang discovered something and intended to harm me in this way?"

"No... He should have been promoted to the Divine Transformation Realm by now. There is no need for him to go to such lengths to deal with a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like me."

"Just do it."

"So, the reason for this strange situation now is the effect of [Yi Ma] itself?"

Just as he was thinking this, Li Fan suddenly felt dazed.

The hairs on my back stood up, as if someone was staring at me.

Li Fan was startled and turned around immediately.

I saw Zhang Zhiliang staring at me quietly with an indescribable smile on his face.

Li Fan instinctively retreated, the spiritual power in his body surged, and the Congyun Sword was about to strike out.

But in the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhiliang's figure disappeared again.

Li Fan was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was in the Tianxuan Mirror.

Even if an existence like Tianyi wanted to force its way in, it would cause quite a stir.

How could Zhang Zhiliang break in so quietly?

"Hallucination?"

Li Fan turned his head to look at Yi Ma's body on the ground again, and immediately noticed something unusual, frowning.

The body of the wild horse actually changed its posture unconsciously.

"Is it dead or alive?"

Li Fan couldn't help but think so.

The fear came again and lingered in my heart for a long time.

The body feels slightly cold.

"This [Yima] is a bit weird."

"However, I have Huanzhen. No matter how dangerous it is, it can't harm my life..."

Thinking of this, Li Fan felt a little relieved.

Strangely enough, when he thought of this, the inexplicable fear in his heart suddenly receded like a tide.

“Interesting…”

Li Fan's eyes moved slightly.

However, he was still in the state of a human body and a horse face, and it was obvious that things were not over yet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Fan's thoughts raced as he considered countermeasures.

However, before Li Fan could think of anything, the situation changed again.

Suddenly, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air was heard.

Then there was the muffled sound of something piercing into flesh.

Li Fan looked in the direction of the sound and saw an arrow flying out of nowhere.

The target was the left arm of the horse's body.

Just when Li Fan wanted to pull out the arrow to see whether it was real or fake, a sharp pain suddenly came.

Coincidentally, the pain also came from his left arm.

Li Fan took a quick look with his spiritual sense and his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Same position, same wound!

Even when Li Fan used his spiritual power, he was unable to heal the wound.

I bought a trauma pill from the Tianxuan Mirror and took it, but it still had no effect.

The wound remains.

"this……"

“Is it true or false?”

Li Fan felt the burning pain on his arm with his mind, everything seemed so real.

"So, everything that happens on Yima will be reflected on me?"

"if……"

Without further development of his wild thoughts, Li Fan forced himself to recite the Heart Refining Mantra to clear away his distracting thoughts.

Regardless of the pain in his body, he continued to think of countermeasures.

"Theoretically speaking, Zhang Zhiliang has no reason to play tricks on me. This [Yima] is indeed a treasure that can enhance the soul."

"So can we infer that the strange scenes that just happened were so real because they bypassed my senses and directly acted on my soul?"

"It goes beyond the concept of ordinary illusions and directly strikes the soul..."

Just as Li Fan was thinking, a sharp sword suddenly appeared.

With a flash of cold light, the index finger of Yi Ma's right hand was cut off at the root.

The severe pain made Li Fan gasp.

Looking at his right hand, he found that his index finger had indeed disappeared.

It just kept bleeding.

Li Fan placed his mutilated right hand in front of his eyes and observed it carefully.

"It's true..."

"Is it fake?"

Reason told Li Fan that everything that happened to him was just the effect of his mind on his spirit. It was all fake.

But the continuous burning pain in his body forced Li Fan to doubt his own judgment.

"If all this is an illusion, then it doesn't matter."

"But what if I'm wrong and these wounds are real?"

"If I sit back and watch the changes continue, doesn't that mean I'm waiting to die?"

A thought suddenly popped up in my mind.

"If you want to judge whether it is true or false, it is better to ask others to identify it."

Thinking of this, Li Fan left the Tianxuan Mirror.

And when he, with his horse face, wandered around in front of other monks for a few times and did not attract any strange looks.

Li Fan finally became convinced that this was truly an illusory experience brought about by Yi Ma.

but……

"hiss!"

Li Fan touched his chest and found another deep wound there.

While he was walking around outside to verify, a total of eight scars appeared on Li Fan's body.

"The rate of appearance is getting faster and faster, and the wounds are getting bigger and bigger."

"Even if I know these are all hallucinations, to this extent..."

“It doesn’t matter what’s true or false anymore.”

"So, if things continue like this, I might actually die?"

Before Li Fan traveled through time, he had heard of a kind of punishment.

The prisoner was blindfolded and his arm was slashed with a knife.

Then, water drops were used to imitate the sound of dripping blood, and the sound of blood flowing out was constantly whispered.

Although the wound on his arm had already solidified, he would not die from excessive blood loss.

But there were some prisoners who, under the constant psychological suggestion of others and themselves, really thought that they were losing too much blood and then slowly died.

When you think you are dead, you are really dead.

Li Fan guessed that the effect of [Yima] was the same.

Because the hallucination has reached a point where it is almost indistinguishable from reality, if you do nothing and just wait for things to continue to develop.

When Yi Ma's body suffered fatal injuries such as a blown-off head.

Li Fan was also likely affected by the simultaneous injuries and really believed that he was also seriously injured.

Then he died inexplicably.

This is the exact impact of your self-perception on your body.

Want to avoid this.

unless……

Li Fan opened the [Zhenzhen] panel.

Keep a close eye on the charging progress.

"As long as the automatic protection of Huanzhen is not triggered, your life will not be in danger no matter how real your feelings are."

Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn't help but feel more at ease.

The fear in my heart gradually disappeared.
