Chapter 358: Mirage Dragon is born, Mirage Dragon is gone
Yu Cang didn't know when this real dragon, which looked like jade and seemed illusory, came here.
In all the legends that Yu Cang had seen before, no matter who it was, they would always be accompanied by overwhelming momentum when they appeared. Just being in it would make one feel a tightness in the chest, and even looking directly at it required great courage.
But the mirage dragon was different. Its appearance was silent, and no one could detect it in advance. Yu Cang was only distracted for a moment before he realized that its huge body had filled his entire field of vision.
Even when faced directly, no one sensed any overwhelming aura around them. At most… at most, their eyelids grew heavier, their thoughts more sleepy. It seemed that if they didn't force themselves to wake up, they would fall into a dream from which they could not wake up.
Yu Cang raised his head and looked at the sky.
Countless mirror structures divided the sky. At this time, the slender body of the mirage dragon was moving through it. It seemed that a part of its body could be seen in every space separated by the mirror, but no matter where the eyes explored, the full picture of the mirage dragon could never be seen.
Both the sky and the mirage seemed to be shattered.
interest……
The dark red energy at the devil's fingertips had quietly gone out at some point, and the expression on his face had frozen.
In his prime, he might have been as powerful as the Mirage Dragon, but now, his power was only at the level of a high-ranking power. Moreover, this was the Mirage Dragon's territory, so the demon had no way to resist the Mirage Dragon's illusion and simply fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, Bao Zeyu on the side seemed to have just come back to his senses.
Of course, he had never seen the real body of the Mirage Dragon, but seeing the scene before him... he could probably guess who this guy was.
He quickly stepped forward, a smile plastered on his face. "Hello, Mr. Shenlong... I'm Bao Zeyu from the Public Security Bureau. Could you please tell me what happened here?"
Deep within the Mirage Realm, a mirage dragon lives. This is actually a secret of the association. In mythology, the mirage dragon simply disappears, its whereabouts unknown.
Bao Zeyu was also unaware of this, but that did not stop him from raising the banner of the association.
The mirage dragon's eyes dropped, and its head quietly moved downwards. With his movement, the demon fell into layers of mirrors, and no one knew where it went.
"They are just sleeping soundly." Mirage Dragon's voice was ethereal and deep, sounding very neutral.
Hearing this, Yu Cang's expression changed.
On the way here, he saw many explorers sleeping on the battlefield... Those people's consciousness was trapped in an illusion, but their bodies remained in the same place.
At first, Yu Cang was very confused as to why Liu Yu Huan Zhi did not kill them after attacking them. Now it seems that it was the result of the deliberate control of the Mirage Dragon.
But why did he do that?
The Mirage Dragon didn't seem to want to explain, so Yu Cang could only guess.
Could it be... that you don't want to offend the association?
Yes, if the Mirage Dragon has been sleeping under the Mirage Realm for so many years, then he must be the one who knows best how powerful the association is.
Although the super-level legendary spirit beast is very powerful, it is not that strong. Yan Country has many ways to kill the mirage dragon, and it is useless for him to hide anywhere.
But……
Yu Cang's gaze fell on the eyes of the mirage dragon.
A dazzling light bloomed between the eyebrows of the mirage dragon, and it was full of brilliance, but under the layers of rainbow light, a little bit of dirt could not be concealed.
There is no doubt that the Mirage Dragon has been infected by Huang, and is seriously infected. Yu Cang doesn't know how he has survived for so long, but he is so unscrupulously activating the illusion. Once his power declines, he will surely die.
Why did he do that?
Doubt flashed in Yu Cang's eyes.
On the other side, facing the words of Shenlong, Bao Zeyu's expression moved and his heart relaxed a little.
Fortunately, fortunately... Judging from the tone of this mirage dragon, it should not be an enemy.
Although it seems that he was the one who instigated the wild beasts and the illusion to riot, but since he has no ill intentions... he must have something he wants to communicate with the association.
Thinking of this, Bao Zeyu bowed and said, "Mr. Shenlong, on behalf of the association, I thank you for your kindness. May I ask if you have any requests? I can convey them to the association on your behalf. In addition, the illusion has been blocked abruptly, and we are unable to transmit information to the outside world. Can you first unlock the illusion and let us out?"
"Of course I have something to ask for." Shenlong's tone was very gentle, neither slow nor slow, sounding very friendly, "I only want one person."
"Um... I'm sorry, I don't understand..."
"I mean."
Mirage Dragon raised his eyes slightly, looked over the crowd, and looked at Yu Cang who was standing slightly behind... and Qi'er beside him.
"I want her."
As the three calm words fell, the atmosphere present suddenly became stagnant.
Yu Cang frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to protect Qi'er behind him. The girl, feeling the mirage dragon's gaze, turned pale at this moment and subconsciously clenched Yu Cang's trouser leg.
Gu Jieshuang's expression remained unchanged, still very calm, but the hand holding the sword tightened, vaguely protecting Yu Cang and the other two behind him.
The smile on Bao Zeyu's lips faded slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "What do you want her to help you with? Tell me, the association can do it. There's no need to embarrass a child."
The changes in everyone's expressions naturally did not escape the sight of the Mirage Dragon.
A dark color erupted in his eyes, almost swallowing up his will and letting desire forcibly take over his body. He closed his eyes and said in a calm tone:
"I have worked for you for six hundred years and trained countless talents for you. Today, I only want one person... This is not too much."
His tone was very firm, and he didn't seem to expect a reply.
Bao Zeyu wanted to say something else, but Shenlong's tone had hardened.
"Go to sleep. I will only take one person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Zeyu's face suddenly froze, and he couldn't say any more words. He froze in place.
Zhang Shuting's face changed. She quickly reached out and took out a few soul cards, then ran forward, trying to wake up Bao Zeyu. However, as soon as she took a step, the strength in her body quickly dissipated, and she fell softly to the ground.
Crash...
It was as if the sound of many thin and brittle ice layers shattering one after another spread out, and all the people on the field fell down one after another with this sound. Even if they realized something and wanted to take out the soul cards to resist, they had no time or opportunity to resist.
The whole process lasted for a very short time, as if it was only the moment when the bubble burst. In the blink of an eye, all living beings fell into a deep illusion.
Not everyone didn't react.
Stars flashed in Gu Jieshuang's eyes, and the world before him suddenly slowed down infinitely.
Facing an opponent as powerful and unpredictable as the Mirage Dragon, she immediately used all her strength, activating her Soul Card and drawing her Eyebrow Jie. The stars in her eyes grew brighter and brighter, trying to slow down the world around her, but...
Bang...
A crack appeared on the crystal clear sword of Jie Emei. Then, with a slight sound, the starlight in her eyes quickly dimmed, and finally the light in her pupils went out, and she fell into a deep illusion.
Bang.
Gu Jieshuang fell in front of Yu Cang.
Crash...
The mirage dragon moved its body, and suddenly, his reflection flashed across the mirror of the entire sky, and he came in front of Yu Cang.
Now, only Yu Cang is still awake.
Yu Cang's face was solemn, and he was half-kneeling on the ground. The girl was lost in illusion in his arms, her body still shaking uneasily. Yu Cang could only hold her in his arms and look at the mirage dragon.
"...If you need anything, I can help you." Yu Cang said.
"You are too weak."
"But I have knowledge."
"For six hundred years, countless scholars like you have made similar promises to me, but I always had to wait." Mirage Dragon's tone was calm. "Besides, you are far younger and more immature than any of them. You still need to grow. I still have patience, but I am running out of time."
Yu Cang: "..."
"Perhaps you have never thought of helping me, or perhaps you simply lack the ability. It doesn't matter. I am about to die. While I am still a mirage dragon, I will make my final struggle. You can remain conscious in front of me, so I will tell you the reason."
Yu Cang frowned: "Is it because of Huang?"
"yes."
"What are you going to do to Qi'er?"
"She has Huang's bloodline in her body, yet she is still able to remain conscious. This is what I need."
Yu Cang's pupils suddenly widened: "You want to take over my body?"
"...She seems to be one of your powers - give her up. Afterwards, I can serve you in her place for a while. You should have seen my power."
"Heh." Yu Cang seemed to smile, "I'm his brother."
“…”
"Take back what you just said." Yu Cang said, "To be frank, I am now one of the strongest scholars in Yan Country. I can help you."
Mirage Dragon's eyes seemed to dim slightly: "Sorry, this is the last time, I only trust myself."
After saying that, the mirage dragon raised its head, as if it had activated something. The surrounding mirror structures began to move in a regular rhythm, and invisible illusion energy fell layer by layer into Yu Cang's mind, trying again and again to pull Yu Cang into the illusion.
"Damn it..." Yu Cang gritted his teeth.
It took a lot of effort for him to stay awake during the first wave of illusions from the mirage dragon.
Now, he no longer had the strength to use his soul card and couldn't even resist. Di Xin would appear particularly powerless when faced with such a gap in strength.
Gradually, he felt his consciousness was becoming blurred and he could no longer speak.
The mirage dragon slowly raised its claws, and just as one claw was about to strike down, it suddenly stopped.
Above Yu Cang's head, a snow-white dragon suddenly appeared.
At the same time, a small black dragon jumped out of the soul card and stood in front of Yu Cang.
The aura they possessed was very weak, but Mirage Dragon had a feeling that their true strength was far greater than it was now, it was just that this body limited their power.
It was night and morning that I said goodbye.
The mirage dragon hesitated slightly.
At this time, Chao Ci, who was standing above Yu Cang, said coldly, "Step back. I will forgive your rudeness."
Mirage Dragon: “…”
He didn't know why. The little dragon in front of him was so weak that he probably didn't even need to exert any strength and could kill it by just turning over. But when she spoke, he still felt a sense of... obeying orders from the bottom of his heart.
"What if I don't?"
"If you dare to let Yu Cang get hurt," Chao Ci said as if it were a trivial matter, "I will let the entire Blue Star be buried with him - you will die."
"...I just want that little girl."
"Same."
Shenlong felt a sudden chill in his heart.
Why... did he feel in his heart that this little dragon could really do it?
How is that possible!
Mirage Dragon was silent. He was inexplicably afraid to look at Chao Ci. When he looked away, he saw Ye Lai.
Ye Lai didn't say much, just looked at the mirage dragon calmly, but he felt a chill from it that was no less than Chao Ci's.
It’s not…it’s all what and what.
They're so weak! Why do I feel like if they attack, I'll be the one to die?
You must be mistaken!
After a moment of silence, Mirage Dragon's eyes darkened.
"If I don't take action, I will die anyway."
Chao Ci sneered: "The Shen has a good offspring - Ye Lai, let's go."
Now her strength is limited by Yu Cang, and it is impossible for her to resist the super-level heirloom, so there is no point in staying here any longer, so she turned around and returned to the soul card, waiting for the matter here to be over, and then she would immediately return to Feng Yuecang's room to regain her strength.
He left in the morning, but was still standing there at night.
Mirage Dragon: "...You're not leaving? You can't stop me, at least not now."
"I will stand before the master of this body." Ye Lai said in a normal tone, "until death."
He went back because he didn't want to do anything meaningless and wait for revenge in the future. And he stood here because he had to.
Mirage Dragon: “…”
Looking at these two dragons, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
Oh no… If he takes that little girl away here today, he won’t really get into any big trouble in the future, right?
or.
The gloomy color in Mirage Dragon's eyes began to emerge again, and desire continued to erode his reason.
Kill them all while they are still weak?
Just as Shenlong was struggling in his heart, suddenly, Yu Cang, who was half-kneeling on the ground with Qi'er in one hand, uttered three words:
"I allow it."
Um?
Reason returned to the mirage dragon's eyes.
Did he agree?
But when he looked again, his brows were tightly furrowed.
Ye Lai was still standing in front of Yu Cang, not moving at all, not even his expression fluctuated.
At this moment, Mirage Dragon suddenly felt... Yu Cang's aura suddenly changed!
Feeling the rising momentum, Mirage Dragon's expression also changed.
Are there any experts?
I saw "Yu Cang" slowly standing up, a shadow spread out under his feet, and countless chaotic lights fell on his body from the void. When he stood up completely, he had changed his appearance.
Feng·A thousand kinds of free heart!
Feng can directly stack it on top of any humanoid summoned beast to perform an Xyz summon, and my race as the king is humanoid!
Just now, Yu Cang's words "I allow" were meant for Feng to hear - now, Feng may be the only one who can make a formal appearance.
Feng ignored the illusions spread around by the mirage dragon, took a step forward and squatted down.
Reaching out, he picked up the Jie Emei in Gu Jie Shuang's hand, which was already full of cracks and about to break.
"It's a beautiful sword," Feng said, "but it's too bad it's stained with blood."
…
I don't know how long it took
In the darkness
Yu Cang's consciousness slowly woke up.
Cough...
The sound of breaking came from all around him, and Yu Cang woke up instantly.
Then he saw that he was in a world that could be described as a dream.
Rainbow light filled the air, and the sky and the earth were divided into countless pieces, as if gravity was reversed and the laws of nature were in chaos.
The body of the mirage dragon was reflected in every mirror in the sky, layer upon layer and fragmented.
In front of him, a figure was holding a spear and crossing the sky, and a Liuyu Huanzhi that exuded a terrifying aura was easily killed.
Yu Cang frowned.
The figure took a few deep breaths, then turned around and said, "You're awake."
This face seemed familiar, but Yu Cang couldn't figure out who it was for a moment.
"Who are you……"
"Du Yanran." He landed beside Yu Cang. "Yujiang has met you."
"It's you."
"I'm sorry." Du Yanran looked ashamed. "My mission was to protect you, but I still let these things happen..."
"…What just happened?"
"I don't know either." Du Yanran shook his head. "I wanted to stop the mad mirage dragon, but he trapped me in the illusion instead. I've been looking for a way to break through, but with little success.
"However, not long after, I suddenly heard a scream that spread throughout the entire Mirage Realm. Then I saw the Mirage Dragon hurriedly flying back to the depths of the illusion. There was a huge sword wound on its body, and it was bleeding continuously. Then I saw you."
Yu Cang was silent.
He quickly sensed it and found that Feng's soul card had entered the death cooling period, but it had not ended, which meant that not much time had passed.
Can Feng actually...really hurt the Mirage Dragon?
To be honest, even if Feng could make a regular appearance, the soul card Thousand Free Hearts is only a soul card with a power of 6 after all, so even Feng would not be able to use too much power.
The gap was so huge, yet he could still leave a sword wound... As expected of Feng. But, it could only be a wound.
However, now is not the time to think about these things.
"Take me to find the Mirage Dragon." Yu Cang said, "I must go to him."
"I don't recommend it," Du Yanran said. "I can't defeat Mirage Dragon, and I don't know where the swordsman who can hurt him is. If you go to Mirage Dragon now, I can't guarantee your safety no matter what he does. And I can't find Mirage Dragon either. Even though he seems to be everywhere right now, that's just an illusion. He might be quite far away from us."
"...He's not far from us. I can find him."
This conclusion is not reached casually.
When he woke up, he didn't see Qi'er, but Qi'er couldn't leave him too far, so the mirage dragon must be nearby.
With the help of the perception between him and Qi'er, plus the Emperor's Heart, he could barely identify the direction in the illusion.
"And after you find it, what can you do?"
"Don't worry." Yu Cang gritted his teeth, but still smiled, "I already know what he's going to do, and I can handle him."
Du Yanran: "...My mission is to ensure your safety."
"The swordsman who injured the mirage dragon was me."
Du Yanran: “…”
"Why, you don't believe it?"
"No, I believe it." Du Yanran took a deep breath, "You can't lie to me now...Okay, let's go."
…
The deeper you go into the illusion, the more ferocious the mirage dragon in the sky becomes.
At the beginning, the dragon bodies were still the same as when I first saw them, as smooth as jade and seemed illusory.
But after several layers of illusion, a dark color began to spread over the dragon's body, and the aura of death gradually became thicker. What's more, many strange deformations were quietly forming.
Yu Cang knew that the mirage dragon had been infected by Huang. As the illusion became deeper and deeper, the scenes he could see would become closer and closer to "Huang".
The mirage dragon is no longer the real dragon that was so gorgeous that it is beyond imagination.
Finally, after breaking through several layers of illusion, Yu Cang and Du Yanran finally saw the real dragon head of the mirage dragon.
The smell of decay permeated the air. The dragon's head had been corroded like a stone, with only a little glow between its eyebrows still remaining magnificent.
At this moment, he had his eyes closed and fell into a deep sleep. In front of him, Qi'er was floating there, with a frown on his little face, and he unconsciously called out "brother" and "sister".
A ray of light also flashed between the girl's eyebrows, exactly the same as the one on the mirage's head.
Seeing this, Yu Cang cursed inwardly and immediately rushed forward.
Fortunately, we arrived in time!
Was this what they called fate? He had just left the city and arrived in a slightly dangerous place, and the "fate" of the Emperor Star wanted to take his sister away from him?
But, I'm sorry.
Even in desperate situations, there is a solution!
"Qi'er!" Yu Cang shouted as he ran, "Don't panic, brother is here, stay calm!"
Buzz!!
The light between the Mirage Dragon's eyebrows suddenly flickered, and a heavy sound suddenly descended upon this space.
"Yu Cang!!"
"It's too late!"
…
"Dream on." Yu Cang sneered, "Mirage Dragon, even if you are a legend, you still have to abide by the rules of the Soul Card. I forgot to tell you that Qi'er is an unfinished forbidden card. If you want to enter her body, you are facilitating the completion of the forbidden card!"
"So what!"
"The moment the forbidden card is completed, your consciousness, which serves as the 'material', will be erased and reconstructed. By then, you will be as good as dead!"
Buzz...
The Mirage Dragon suddenly fell silent, and even the light on its forehead dimmed a lot.
He is sensing.
He knew that what Yu Cang said was right... He wanted to take over Qi'er's body, but that weird thing called the forbidden card would kill him.
Seeing this scene, Du Yanran frowned.
...I don’t understand what you are saying.
…
This space did not remain silent for long.
"I was almost scared by you." The voice of the Mirage Dragon rang out again. "Even if this is a rule called 'banned card', this banned card is just a heirloom... I have survived on this land for thousands of years, and my power is boundless! A mere banned card, I can break it with my own strength!"
Yu Cang's expression changed quietly.
After saying this, the Mirage Dragon no longer hesitated and poured all his will into Qi'er's body. At the same time, all the mirrors around him shattered at this moment, and the fragmented sky and earth spread outside the mirrors. Those broken mirror fragments turned into countless streams of light and poured into Qi'er's body.
Yu Cang already understood what the mirage dragon wanted to do.
Since the process of becoming a banned card will reorganize his consciousness, he just has to prevent this process from happening!
It’s just a soul card of the heirloom level, not an indestructible treasure. He can just destroy it with his strength!
Tear up the card!
My energy is as vast as the sea and smoke, how could I not be able to destroy a mere banned card!
Look at me—look at me—look at…what?
Unbearable pain spread in Mirage Dragon's consciousness. At this moment, his mind was shocked.
Wait, what happened?
Why, why is this banned card so stable!
Why, with such great power, couldn't he do anything to a soul card?
…
The expression on Yu Cang's face relaxed.
Fortunately...it worked.
He told Shenlong about the "card ban" not to threaten Shenlong and make him give up. On the contrary, he wanted Shenlong to go in quickly.
And then, he did only one thing.
He spent a thousand coins to buy something called "Card Ban Stabilizer" from the entry recorder's store and used it directly on Qi'er.
It looks...very effective.
Even if the Mirage Dragon had accumulated power for thousands of years, it would still be powerless in the face of the product of the entry recorder.
Now, Mirage Dragon could only watch helplessly as all his strength wasted away, unable to do anything, and then in the last moment of his life, carefully experience the feeling of his consciousness being shattered.
"Why bother?" Yu Cang sighed, "I can really help you."
In any case, Mirage Dragon chose this path.
Now, there is only one thing left for Yu Cang to do.
He walked forward, caught the chess piece that was slowly falling, stretched out his hand, and placed his fingers on the girl's forehead.
The appearance of Mirage Dragon directly initiated the final step for Qi'er to become a banned card.
He doesn't allow it.
He must reverse the process.
Use - his means as a card maker!
"Stop." Yu Cang's eyes flashed with an unprecedented bright starlight, "I said, stop!"
…
Buzz!
The rapid dissipation of energy restored tranquility to the entire sky.
Without the support of energy, Mu Yuan's illusion naturally disappeared.
The sky returned to normal, and two figures stood high in the sky.
"Mirage Dragon!"
An old man looked down and locked onto Yu Cang, who had one hand on Qi'er's brow.
"Die for me!"
Boom!!
The entire sky trembled, and countless celestial phenomena such as cloudy, sunny, thunder, lightning, etc. flashed at the same time, and the breath of destruction surged between them.
"Wait, wait!" Du Yanran suddenly broke out in a sweat.
This posture, is there something wrong?
"He is Yu Cang! Stop! Stop first!"
"Get out of the way!" the old man shouted. "That mirage dragon knows how to use illusions. Didn't you see it? He's possessed now!"
"Shit, what should I do?" Du Yanran was sweating profusely.
…
"...Wait a moment." Hu Yanzhan noticed something was wrong. "That... Mirage Dragon seems to be dead?"
"How is that possible?" The old man puffed his beard and glared, "Who can kill the mirage dragon? Don't tell me it was Yu Cang who killed it!"
Hu Yanzhan's lips moved for a moment.
“…Maybe it’s true.”
