"A high-level Illusion God?!"
Lu Yuan felt the pressure of spiritual energy carried in the fist's wind, and was immediately startled. He reacted quickly and dodged to the side, barely avoiding the attack from the man in black.
boom!
A punch landed.
The bathroom door was smashed to pieces.
Upon seeing this.
Lu Yuan's heart sank.
The man in black before them was clearly different from the previous assassins. His strength had at least reached the fifth level of the Illusion God realm, and judging from his movements, he had obviously learned martial arts techniques.
With his newly acquired Heavenly Evolution level strength, he had no way to contend with an enemy of such a level!
The man in black walked out of the bathroom and approached Lu Yuan.
By the light of the room's lamps, Lu Yuan could clearly see the excited gleam in the other person's eyes.
Where did you take Cui Peng?
Faced with Lu Yuan's question, the man in black tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"Ah! You mean that kid who went in just now? I knocked him out and threw him on the toilet! Even though my only target is you, it would be troublesome if someone else came out and caused trouble during the process."
Hearing that Cui Peng was out of danger, Lu Yuanxin felt a little relieved.
Seeing Lu Yuan's visibly relieved expression, the man in black couldn't help but laugh.
"You're about to die and you still have the nerve to worry about others? You should think about yourself first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black attacked Lu Yuan again.
Lu Yuan was prepared for this. With the speed boost from his boots, he dodged the attack from the man in black and then quickly moved to the side, preparing to jump off the balcony.
The room was too cramped. Although the man in black might be restricted from summoning beasts, his own area of movement was also severely compressed, leaving him with nowhere to escape or hide.
If he tries to hold off the man in black in the room, he will definitely be caught and killed within ten minutes!
So he had to find a chance to leave, and maybe he could get help from the security personnel patrolling the arena.
Whoosh—!
Taking advantage of the moment when the men in black attacked again, Lu Yuan broke through the balcony glass and jumped over it.
Ignoring the shards of glass scattered all over him, Lu Yuan immediately summoned Crimson Phosphorus.
"Red Phosphorus, quickly use the Square Stone Plastic!"
"Hiss~!"
As Lu Yuan finished speaking, countless stones converged from all directions, and Chi Lin used these stones to descend, eventually landing steadily in the center of the arena.
It was already late at night, and most of the student representatives had gone to sleep. There was no one in the arena, not even any patrolling security guards. It was eerily quiet.
What's going on?
Lu Yuan's expression darkened slightly, and his brows furrowed.
Even though it was late, this was still during the inter-school exam competition. The student representatives might have gone to bed early because they were tired from the day's competition, but there should have been patrols in the arena. How could there not be a single person to be seen?!
Snap.
The man in black followed closely behind Lu Yuan and landed opposite him.
"Stop looking. Everyone in the arena is asleep. No one will come to save you."
Upon hearing this...
Lu Yuan's expression turned serious.
The commotion from his fight with the man in black was considerable, yet no one appeared around him, not even Mace, who was supposed to be guarding the room.
He had initially found this strange, but now it seemed likely that something the men in black had done had caused everyone, including Mace, to be affected.
"So much trouble just to kill me?"
“There’s no other way!” The man in black shrugged, his tone very relaxed, showing no sign that he was worried about his actions being discovered. “Your actions have angered the higher-ups, and they have ordered me to take your life, or I will be the one who dies.”
As he spoke.
A small, guinea pig-like beast appeared out of nowhere beside the man in black.
"So for my life, please die!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the man in black rushed toward Lu Yuan with a dagger in hand.
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly sped to the side to dodge, while also being wary of the beast behind the man in black.
Don't be fooled by the small size and cute appearance of that beast; if he's not mistaken, it should be a dream-eating beast that has been recorded in ancient books!
Not only does it possess extremely powerful mental attack capabilities, it can even weave illusions, causing people to fall into a deep sleep from which they cannot wake up.
This also reasonably explains why there was no one in the arena.
They must have already been pulled into a dream by the dream-eating beast and are unable to wake up.
No wonder the men in black were so fearless!
It seems impossible to get help from the people in the arena, so he has no choice but to think of another way!
With that in mind, Lu Yuan quickly tapped a few buttons on his phone with his hand hidden in his pocket.
"Stop trying any more tricks! You're going to die today!"
The man in black raised his hand, and the dream-eating beasts behind him pounced on Lu Yuan at the same time.
With a sharp, piercing cry, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little disoriented.
In that instant of distraction, the man in black had already closed in on him with a dagger.
Whoosh!
The next second, a cold glint flashed.
Lu Yuan's clothes ripped open instantly, leaving a shallow wound, but it wasn't deep, just a shallow scratch.
"Oh?" The man in black raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. "I didn't expect you to be wearing such good stuff. It seems I underestimated the resources and treasures of the Ling'an Continent!"
He immediately recognized that the protective soft armor Lu Yuan was wearing was a high-level spiritual artifact, and his expression couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
I thought that as a lower-level realm, Ling'an Continent shouldn't have spiritual artifacts of this caliber.
But to his surprise, he not only saw it, but it was even worn by a young man who looked powerless and insignificant.
Lu Yuan stepped back to a position that was safe enough from the man in black and took a slight breath.
Faced with such a vastly different level of strength, his mind was racing, searching for any possible chance to survive.
The gap in strength between the two sides is simply too great.
Although he was capable of killing enemies of higher levels, even those of higher ranks, he was still far inferior to the man in black before him, despite his superior combat awareness and talent. His agility, strength, and even endurance were simply too much to match.
Whoosh!
Another slash came horizontally, and Lu Yuan decisively dodged backward, but his arm was still cut by the man in black's dagger.
This time, the man in black used significantly more force than before. Even with the protective soft armor, Lu Yuan still suffered a deep wound on his arm that exposed the bone.
Feeling the pain, Lu Yuan gasped and decisively took out a bottle of healing potion from his spatial storage and drank it.
The wound on my arm healed almost completely, leaving only a faint mark.
Although everyone in the arena was affected by the Dream Eater and fell into a dream, Lu Yuan was unsure if anyone would wake up early, so he did not choose to summon Xiao Yi to help heal them, but instead chose to use a healing potion.
Fortunately, in order to ensure that he could deliver the orders to the Spirit Medicine Hall on time, he had prepared a large quantity of healing potions in advance.
Although the treatment effect is certainly not as good as Xiao Yi's skill, with its efficacy being 50% higher than that of equivalent treatment potions, it is still not a problem to treat this kind of superficial injury.
"You have plenty of life-saving items on you, but how long do you think you can last with just those?"
The attacks from the men in black came one after another, and Lu Yuan dodged quickly.
The two fought and dodged within the vast arena.
For a moment, the battle reached a stalemate.
"Your fighting spirit is really strong, kid." Looking at Lu Yuan, who dodged and weaved like an eel, the man in black spoke coldly, "If you had a few more years, you might really have achieved something, maybe even reached that position, but unfortunately..."
"You don't have that chance anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black suddenly stopped attacking and instead retreated to stand a short distance away, facing Lu Yuan from afar.
"Dream Eater, use Nightmare!"
In an instant.
A powerful aura suddenly erupted from the Dream Eater, shooting straight into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the entire area above the arena was shrouded in shadow. A powerful mental pollution attack struck, and Lu Yuan immediately felt his mind become dazed.
nightmare.
The Dream Eater's ultimate innate skill.
It can draw all living beings within its spiritual energy range into the dream it weaves, putting them into a deep sleep, so that they will not even react when faced with mortal danger.
"Is that why no one has appeared in the arena?"
Lu Yuan, panting heavily, looked at the dark barrier overhead, his expression more solemn than ever before.
They've even used their ultimate talent skill; it seems the opponent is determined to take their life.
but.
Lu Yuan touched his phone in his pocket.
Some time has passed since he sent the message, and he believes the other party will arrive soon, but before that, he must withstand the nightmare before him.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's eyes darted quickly across the arena.
There must be top-tier experts in the arena, yet the opponent still couldn't withstand the Dream Eater's mental attack, which shows just how strong the man in black is. Moreover, Lu Yuan was fighting beyond his level, so it would be even more difficult for him to remain unaffected mentally.
Therefore, he must find a way to resist the effects of the nightmare without revealing more secrets.
final.
Lu Yuan fixed his gaze on an inconspicuous shady spot at the edge of the arena.
Got it!
"Stop trying to play any more tricks! Just surrender and let me kill you, so we don't waste any more time!"
The man in black saw that Lu Yuan had not given up hope of survival and was trying his best to think of a solution.
But in the face of absolute power, any little tricks are insignificant. No matter how much Lu Yuan struggles, his final fate is only death!
The man in black raised his dagger again and attacked Lu Yuan.
Under the influence of the Dream Eater's Nightmare skill, Lu Yuan's actions were restricted, and he was noticeably less decisive and swift than at the beginning.
Under the relentless attacks of the men in black, Lu Yuan quickly sustained countless wounds of all sizes, eventually being forced into a corner of the arena.
Lu Yuan leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
His clothes were soaked in blood.
If it weren't for the protective soft armor, he might have already died under the black-clad man's dagger.
But after holding out for so long, the protective soft armor could no longer withstand it and finally broke apart under another attack from the man in black, turning into fragments scattered on the ground.
"snort!"
Seeing the protective soft armor on Lu Yuan's body break apart, the man in black snorted coldly.
"Your protective armor is completely shattered. Now I'd like to see what other ways you can save your life!"
After saying that.
The man in black attacked Lu Yuan again, while the dream-eating beast behind him let out a cry, carrying a strong mental attack that assaulted Lu Yuan's consciousness, which was already on the verge of collapse.
The situation suddenly became critical.
Lu Yuan was already struggling against the attacks of the men in black. Now, not only was his protective armor damaged, but the Dream Eater had also begun to attack at the same time. Even with Lu Yuan's combat talent, he was unable to resist.
"call!"
At this critical moment, Lu Yuan's dazed eyes suddenly cleared, and he dodged the attack from the man in black with decisive and swift movements.
"What?!"
A gasp escaped the man in black.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan was able to dodge so quickly and decisively under the combined attack of himself and the Dream Eater.
and.
Seeing Lu Yuan's movements even faster than before, the man in black couldn't help but frown, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"Are you unaffected by the Dream Eater's mental attacks?!"
Lu Yuan did not answer the man in black's question. Instead, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth, poured all the spiritual power in his body into the swift boots on his feet, and rushed to the man in black with the force of thunder.
? !
The man in black was taken aback when he saw Lu Yuan, who had been running away, suddenly rush over.
at the same time.
Lu Yuan had already closed in on him when a blinding light suddenly shone from his body.
The man in black squinted at the light and instinctively stepped back, but before he could take a step back, the light on Lu Yuan's body exploded!
Countless tiny rays of light, like sharp blades, came hurtling towards him. The man in black decisively abandoned his attack on Lu Yuan, raised his dagger, and swept it away, scattering the light blades that were rushing towards his face.
"An instant-cast attack formation! Is this your trump card? It's far too weak!"
The man in black had a grim expression and thrust out his dagger, but Lu Yuan's voice rang out.
"Light and Shadow Scythe!"
As the words fell, a giant scythe formed from silver light suddenly appeared above their heads, hanging high above the moon.
at the same time.
Lu Yuan suddenly reached out and grabbed the man in black's arms.
Upon seeing this.
The man in black's expression changed drastically in an instant!
The Light and Shadow Scythe is a high-level formation with explosive power. If he didn't dodge in time, even he would probably be seriously injured.
Even though he tried his best to break free, he was unexpectedly unable to escape Lu Yuan's grip.
"Damn it! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you..."
boom!
Before the man in black could finish speaking, the scythe of light and shadow fell from above, instantly engulfing Lu Yuan and the man in black.
