I stared coldly at the old woman, while gripping the sword in my hand even tighter.
I pointed my lightning sword at the old lady, ready to kill her at any moment.
"Death energy? How come you still have death energy on you?"
The woman was stunned when she saw these spots on my body.
Even the older woman probably didn't expect that I would end up like this.
I stared into the woman's eyes and pondered for a long time. From her eyes, I could tell that this woman didn't seem to be lying.
"That's impossible! I clearly transferred all the death energy from your body to the puppet from earlier!"
The old woman grabbed my arm and kept checking it. Even when I held a sword to her neck, it didn't affect her movements.
"Why is it that my formation is already complete, brother?!"
The woman's face was filled with resentment!
How did I become like this?
My heart skipped a beat when I heard the woman's question.
Could it be that the old lady was really saving me just now?
"Because we entered that demonic illusion! Once you enter this illusion, it's usually a death sentence unless someone sacrifices their life; otherwise, there's no chance of survival!"
After listening, the woman sighed heavily, and then emphasized the phrase "ten deaths without a chance of survival" when she explained it to me.
"Ten deaths with no chance of survival?"
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but frown even more deeply.
"Yes, that book explains it very clearly. Once you are entangled by that resentment, you will die without a chance of survival. Within a quarter of an hour, your life force will be completely taken away!"
And their fate will most likely be the same as Feilong's!
The older woman held my wrist while explaining things to me and checking my body repeatedly.
My expression wasn't good. No wonder that fat man had no vitality in his body; that's why.
"Once life is taken away, there is no difference between them and the living dead. Fortunately, I can transfer this death energy through my family's secret technique!"
But why would something go wrong? That can't be!
The old woman was still examining my body when I put down my sword, my heart filled with turmoil!
As expected, the old lady wasn't lying to me. She was saving me just now. I guess the reason she set up that formation was to remove the death aura from my body through the puppet!
Unfortunately, I didn't trust the old lady at that time, and instead directly swapped my blood with Old Knife's blood.
In other words, the ones who were truly safe and sound were not the auntie and me, but the auntie and Lao Dao.
My words might just be the same as what the old lady said—a dead end.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but twitch my lips.
Damn it, why did it have to be like this!
At this point, the old woman still didn't know what was happening, and she took out two more pieces of yellow paper and kept drawing talismans and sticking them on my body.
"Something's not right, something's really not right. I clearly cast that spell, the death aura on your body should have been completely removed!"
The older woman was as anxious as a child, unable to understand why things had turned out this way!
"Hey little sister, was there something wrong with the blood I gave you earlier? I didn't do anything wrong, I used Old Knife's!"
Seeing how anxious the old lady was, I felt a pang of sympathy and decided to tell her what had happened.
"So, brother, the birth date and time just now weren't yours?"
The woman was stunned when she heard what I just said; she probably never imagined I would use such methods.
"Yes, when I'm out and about, I always have to be careful around everyone, otherwise I'd be dead already!"
I gave a bitter smile and told the old lady the whole story in detail.
"This is destiny, this is fate!"
The woman probably didn't know what to say; her expression was strange, a mix of crying and laughing.
My body is in terrible shape right now; I can feel my internal organs twisting together.
In addition, it felt as if the other organs in the body were also being hollowed out.
I became completely numb in an instant, and I had no idea what I would become next.
At that moment, the woman took out a talisman and stuck it directly to my chest. I pulled open my clothes and found a faint halo on my chest.
"I've already sealed off a bit of your death aura! We need to find a way to break this deadlock, otherwise you'll be trapped in the illusion forever!"
The old woman's voice grew even weaker, perhaps because the spell she had just cast had drained her last bit of strength.
It was as if the old lady would die if she said another word. "Young lady, don't rush! Speak slowly!"
I immediately asked the older woman for her help, as I was genuinely worried that something might be wrong with her.
"When did we fall into this illusion?"
As I recalled what the old lady had said, I suddenly realized something: she meant that we had entered an illusion, but when exactly did it begin?
"The moment we entered the woodshed, that was the beginning of the illusion!"
"Including the underground tunnel behind, and the wedding procession, these are all half true and half false!"
"At that time, we entered the illusion and were entangled by death energy."
"By the time I found something similar in a book, it was too late!"
The woman spoke slowly, trying to keep her voice as gentle as possible.
When you speak less hurriedly, your complexion naturally improves.
My scalp tingled again. Had we entered an illusion the moment we stepped into the woodshed?
"Then how can we break this deadlock?"
I quickly asked the older woman, "This can't go on like this; we have to find a way to break this deadlock."
"The book doesn't record any method to break this impasse; it only says that this illusion is extremely powerful, half real and half fake, neither truly real nor false!"
The woman emphasized the last four words.
I fell silent. To be honest, this was the most terrifying thing—a mix of truth and falsehood that made it impossible to distinguish between them. "Master! I think I have a way!"
Just then, the female ghost in the mirror suddenly appeared and hovered beside me.
I looked up at the female ghost, and for some reason, I had a strange feeling.
"Huahua, tell me quickly!"
I've tried everything to cure my illness, and now I can feel the life force in my body constantly disappearing.
If things continue at this rate, my body will probably become a walking corpse in less than three minutes.
So what we need to do now is to break this deadlock as soon as possible; only in this way can we have a glimmer of hope.
“Master, I have been nourished by the mirror. If I use my body to protect you, I should be able to remove that death energy!”
The female ghost hovered beside me and continued speaking.
Protect me?
