"How did you know?" Li Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

“They already have the Illusion Eyes, so you must have killed them,” Wang Tianzhao said with certainty, his tone very certain.

“That’s right, this is the Nightmare Beast’s curse.” Lu Fan looked at the eye with a serious expression, equally certain.

"You killed the Nightmare Beast and you're still unharmed? How did you do that?"

Wang Tianzhao looked incredulous and continued to ask Li Yu:

"So, can you still use your superpower now?"

Although Li Yu was also puzzled by the sudden appearance of an extra attribute and an extra eye on the bow, everything in the equipment slots was normal, and there was nothing unusual about the aiming circle in the eye.

"It works."

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, Wang Tianzhao excitedly turned to Lu Fan and shouted:

"See? He dared to kill a Nightmare Beast."

Lu Fan was indeed surprised, because anyone who kills a Nightmare Beast will be cursed by the Giant Eye after death.

This curse can directly invade a person's mental world, and there's no way to escape it.

The cursed person is interfered with by the Illusionary Eyes every time they use their powers, and eventually they can no longer even use their powers.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no awakened being would be willing to kill a Nightmare Beast, as this is almost equivalent to exchanging their own abilities for the Nightmare Beast's life.

"Should we try again now?" Wang Tianzhao asked deliberately.

"Let's try!" Lu Fan replied calmly. Even if it really was a Nightmare Beast, he had nothing to be afraid of.

In Lu Fan's eyes, Li Yu was probably just lucky and wasn't affected by the Nightmare Beast's curse.

Seeing that Lu Fan was going to continue trying, Li Yu said nothing more and directly nocked the level 15 armor-piercing arrow.

Then he raised his crossbow and aimed at Lu Fan.

The aiming circle in Li Yu's eyes shrank rapidly, locking onto Lu Fan's chest.

The eye on the crossbow seemed to be controlled at this moment, forced to look at Lu Fan who was being targeted.

Lu Fan instantly felt as if he had been locked onto by something, and an extremely strong sense of danger welled up from the bottom of his heart.

"call out!"

The moment the arrow was shot, Lu Fan instantly transformed into lightning form. Just as he was about to dodge, his body froze, and a sudden dizziness ran through his head.

"Oh no, it's a hallucination!"

Lu Fan immediately used his other abilities, and in a flash, he appeared a few meters away to the side.

But the arrow was too fast; it flew the instant Lu Fan finished teleporting.

"puff!"

Lu Fan was pierced through the heart by an arrow.

Lu Fan's body instantly lost its electric light, and he fell to the ground, motionless and lifeless.

Wang Tianzhao suddenly ran over quickly, pointed at Lu Fan's corpse, and shouted to Li Yu:

"You shot him dead, you murderer!"

Li Yu: "???"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing Li Yu's bewildered expression, Wang Tianzhao suddenly couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Ignoring Wang Tianzhao's loud laughter, Li Yu hurriedly stepped forward to confirm whether Lu Fan was truly dead.

If he's really going to die, he'll have to run away as fast as he can. All that talk about alliance leader or leader is meaningless now.

"Ha ha."

Amidst Wang Tianzhao's laughter, Lu Fan's body began to gradually repair itself, and the large hole in his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lu Fan quickly recovered and stood up again.

"They're still alive!"

Li Yu screamed inwardly.

Seeing that Lu Fan was still alive, Li Yu couldn't feel happy at all.

This was his most powerful arrow; wasn't it supposed to kill someone by piercing their heart? How come Lu Fan stood up as if nothing had happened?

His hand, gripping the crossbow, trembled slightly. Was this the terrifying aspect of superhuman abilities?

Li Yu checked again, and he was sure he wasn't mistaken; Lu Fan was truly unharmed!

What is my superpower... a toy? Li Yu was momentarily confused.

He couldn't believe that the gap between him and Lu Fan was so vast, that he couldn't even hurt the other.

What Li Yu didn't know was that Lu Fan on the other side was even more shocked!

At this moment, Lu Fan's gaze towards Li Yu completely changed, filled with shock and vigilance.

"I'm dead?!"

Yes, he really did die just now.

Even if he lost his brain, his heart, or was just a few bits of flesh, he could still successfully revive himself using his supernatural abilities.

But not just now; his immortality ability stopped working after he was hit by the arrow.

What saved him from the brink of death was the passive ability he gained after successfully fusing with the Rain Cat's genes—the Nine Lives Cat.

Lu Fan was now absolutely certain that he had died after being shot by an arrow.

Because he could clearly sense that the Nine Lives Cat's superpower had lost one life.

A sense of relief flashed through his mind. If he hadn't possessed the Rain Cat's special ability, his body would probably be cold by now.

Lu Fan looked at Li Yu seriously again, admitting that he had been a bit too arrogant earlier.

Even when facing the War King Tianzhao before, he was not afraid at all, but now that he has come back to life, he can't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

There is actually someone in this world who could kill him, and he was just a refugee.

If he had been hit by Li Yu's arrow before he fused with the Rain Cat's genes, his grave would probably be flooded with two meters of water.

Lu Fan glanced at Li Yu discreetly. If he didn't eliminate the person who could kill him now, he would surely become a major threat in the future.

He only had two choices: either eliminate Li Yu now, or befriend Li Yu.

Lu Fan glanced at Wang Tianzhao out of the corner of his eye. It seemed that Wang Tianzhao and Li Yu had known each other for a long time. He was afraid that if he wanted to kill Li Yu now, Wang Tianzhao would definitely stop him.

Or... we can also make clever use of it.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan smiled calmly at Li Yu.

Seeing that Lu Fan had recovered, Wang Tianzhao stepped forward and joked:

"How powerful was Li Yu's arrow?"

"That arrow really impressed me."

Lu Fan's voice trembled slightly; he didn't want to experience that feeling of death again.

After witnessing Li Yu's astonishing attack power, Lu Fan's attitude towards Li Yu completely changed; this was a recognition of his status brought about by his strength.

Li Yu's strength far exceeded his expectations, a power that forced him to reassess his plans.

Lu Qinglin's death and mental imprisonment were only the first step in his plan.

The second step was to launch a frenzied revenge against Yan City.

He had been racking his brains trying to figure out how to fight against them, but now it seemed that Li Yu was the most suitable helper.

Seeing two godlike figures joking and chatting with the alliance leader, the refugees not far away all stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with astonishment.

They became increasingly certain that following Li Yu was the best decision they had ever made.

Just as Wang Tianzhao was gloating, Lu Fan actually took the initiative to speak to Li Yu:

"Li Yu, I need your help with something."
