Xiao Yuhan knew that Nanmen Yihen would have little chance of winning against Qiu Xinghen at this moment, so he immediately prepared to break the barrier and go forward to help. But at this moment, a man with a gloomy temperament slowly walked out. He was dressed in a smart black outfit, and his long black hair covered half of his face.
But it still couldn't stop the red light emanating from those crimson eyes. "I will be your opponent."
His voice was very deep, and for some reason, Xiao Yuhan found his words irresistible: "Who are you?"
"You've already forgotten me? I'm curious, how did you manage to get rid of my methods last time!" the black-haired man questioned in a low voice, a sinister smile that made people extremely uncomfortable.
Xiao Yuhan then realized that it was Lin Yuan, the man who had cast the illusion on her that day.
"You're Lin Yuan? I always thought you were a petty person who only knew how to ambush from the shadows," Xiao Yuhan said, trying to remain calm.
"Oh? You talk as if you're qualified to fight me face to face." With that, Lin Yuan suddenly appeared behind Xiao Yuhan, bringing his head close to Xiao Yuhan's ear. "Hehe... kid, weren't you going to put on airs? Come on, try and see if you can break through my methods this time!"
Cold sweat poured down Xiao Yuhan's back. In an instant, he made a decision: Disintegrate his body, release the Blood King Gu, turn around, and launch a counterattack with crimson lightning flashing in his hand. This series of actions was completed in one go, which can be said to have unleashed the ultimate in his reaction.
Strangely, the claw strike had no effect on Lin Yuan. The figure of the black-clad man in front of him began to dissipate into black smoke, leaving only his head suspended in mid-air. His eerie red eyes were unsettling. Only then did Xiao Yuhan realize that he had been hit.
Because his own power no longer felt real, he heard the man's hoarse voice again, "Birth and death are impermanent, shadows fall without end, birth is death, death is existence, neither birth nor death, vainly crossing the mortal world, like all living beings in the heavens, without spirit, without form, without heart, just a great dream... Xiao Yuhan, do you know what life and death are?"
Xiao Yuhan turned around again, but by then the space behind him had turned into nothingness. He felt as if he were in a void, where time and space seemed to have lost their meaning.
"Lin Yuan! Do you dare to fight me face to face? What's the use of this bullshit?!"
"Hehe... Kid, although I'm very curious about you, there's nothing I can do. I can't play with you slowly this time. Just enjoy this endless time. If you beg me, maybe I can make you feel more comfortable."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuhan roared, "I beg you! When I get out of here, I'll grind you to dust!!!"
His voice grew softer and softer, and Lin Yuan's figure disappeared. No matter how Xiao Yuhan shouted and cursed, he received no response.
He had no time to worry about Nanmen Yihen, who was facing two powerful enemies alone here, just as he had no idea where to go at the moment.
There was only darkness between heaven and earth. He couldn't see anything with his eyes and could only walk by feeling. But it was as if he was trapped in an endless loop. He could feel himself walking, but there was no change around him. All his efforts seemed to be in vain, and he couldn't even be sure if he was standing still.
He began to wield his sword like a madman; lightning magic, formations, and all the techniques he had learned were rendered meaningless.
He fell into an extreme silence, feeling utterly alone in the world, unable to call out to heaven or earth.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Xiao Yuhan stood motionless, his eyes unfocused, and white hair slowly sprouting at his temples. No matter how Nanmen Yihen shouted, he did not react.
Lin Yuan looked at Nanmen Yihen and said, "You should worry about yourself. In the current situation, you can't even protect yourself. I don't like killing. How about this, kneel down and beg for mercy, and I'll spare your life!"
