Chapter 648 Illusion Backlash, Three Parties Converge

"Hahahahaha..."

"I never imagined that there would actually be such a foolish person who would naively believe such a thing when faced with a mortal enemy."

"Aren't humans supposed to be treacherous and cunning? But to me, you're even more foolish than pigs, hahahaha..."

Cang Jue pointed at Daozi of Daoxu Temple, laughing wildly until he bent over, tears welling in his eyes.

"Lord Cang Jue is invincible! Invincible!"

The demons watching from afar cheered loudly and frantically flattered him.

This made Cang Jue's heart even more satisfied and at ease.

Wasn't this the very moment he brought all these demons with him?

puff!
Despite his weakened state, Daoist Master of Daoxu Temple was still conscious. Upon hearing Cang Jue's extremely sarcastic words, he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, and the demonic energy within him surged once more.

"Stay calm! He's deliberately trying to provoke you, don't fall for his trick!" the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace said in a deep voice.

They had no choice but to take out another Ice Soul Talisman and stick it on the Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple.

At the same time, he took out a pill, dissolved it with his magic power, and sprinkled it on the other person.

Judging from Daozi's current injuries, he probably doesn't even have the ability to refine pills anymore, so she'll have to help him.

Daozi of Daoxu Temple also understood the seriousness of the matter, and forcibly restrained his mind to prevent the demonic energy from invading his soul.

He said weakly, "I'm sorry, Fairy Luo, I was too careless. I didn't expect this demon to be so cunning. He never intended for a fair fight and was plotting against us from the very beginning."

“You were indeed careless. Demons are cunning and have never been trustworthy. This demon’s previous words and actions were nothing more than attempts to deceive us,” the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace sighed.

She had already warned Daoist Xu Guanzi, but he was still not vigilant enough and fell into the demon's trap, which resulted in him being seriously injured.

Upon hearing this, Daozi of Daoxu Temple felt even more ashamed.

Cang Jue watched as the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace healed the Daoist Master of Daoxu Temple, but did not stop her.

In any case, no matter what kind of miraculous medicine it is, it cannot cure it immediately; at most, it can only prolong its life.

In fact, the fact that Daozi of Daoxu Temple is still alive is all due to his own actions.

Otherwise, with the power of his demonic weapon, how could a mere Golden Core Realm physical body possibly withstand it?

As for why he did this, it's because he hadn't had enough fun yet.

He wanted to torment these two human prodigies little by little, and slowly enjoy their desperate and helpless state.

Only in this way can his meticulously planned grand scheme be worthwhile.

"I didn't expect Cang Jue to be so cunning. I thought he was really going to compete with this Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple in Daoist arts."

"It seems that his previous arrogance and pride were all a pretense, and his purpose was to lure this Daoist of the Void Observation Sect into a trap."

"Despite having the upper hand, he still used a tactic to cripple one of the opponents first, preventing them from joining forces to resist. Cang Jue is quite cunning, not at all like his arrogant and conceited appearance."

"It's because this Daoist Master Xu Guan is too naive. He actually dared to believe the words of a demon he had never seen before, and as a result, he was outmaneuvered."

The outcome of the battle between Cang Jue and Daozi of Daoxu Temple greatly surprised the dozen or so mysterious figures watching the battle in the mysterious space.

Just now, many of them genuinely believed that Cang Jue intended to have a fair contest of Taoist arts with the Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple without using any magic weapons, and to defeat him head-on.

But little did they know, it was all just a disguise.

This turn of events was even beyond their expectations.

In a short time, the impressions of the mysterious group of people regarding Cang Jue changed considerably.

Even though they clearly had the upper hand, they were still so cautious and chose the safest approach.

Such a person is the most terrifying as an enemy.

"Now, these two really have no chance of winning at all," a figure sighed.

If that Daoist of the Void Observation was joining forces with the Holy Maiden of the Azure Palace, they wouldn't actually be without a fighting chance against Cang Jue.

Although the demonic artifact controlled by Cang Jue is extremely powerful, it is very likely that it is the legendary high-grade demonic artifact.

However, with his current cultivation level, the power of the demonic weapon he can unleash is actually limited.

Furthermore, since the Daoist Master of Daoxu Temple and the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace also possess spiritual artifacts, if they join forces against the enemy, even if they are still no match for Cang Jue, they will certainly not be defeated so easily.

However, Daozi of Daoxu Temple was too clever for his own good and was seriously injured by Cang Jue's clever scheme.

The remaining Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace will inevitably be unable to stand alone and will not be a match for Cang Jue.

Therefore, their fate was already sealed.

Seeing this, some people had already lost interest in the battle and turned their attention to the other side, namely Lu Qing and the Daoist disciple of the Shangguan family.

However, when he looked over, he was stunned again.

Before Lu Qing, the Daoist of the Shangguan family was kneeling on the ground, covered in cold sweat, and looked to be in great pain.

"What happened? Why are you and Shangguan Menghe in such pain?" the figure couldn't help but ask.

He clearly saw that the two hadn't even met yet, so how come Shangguan Menghe had already collapsed when his attention was only briefly drawn to Cang Jue?
Hearing his exclamation, the others also looked over, and were astonished when they saw what he was seeing.

“It’s a backlash!” another figure said in a deep voice. “Shangguan Menghe must have suffered a backlash from his own illusion technique, which is why he is in so much pain.”

"Illusion backlash? The esteemed Daoist disciple of the Shangguan family has been harmed by his own illusion?"

The other figures seemed somewhat incredulous.

"It is what it is."

That figure had clearly been keeping an eye on Lu Qing's movements.

"The moment Shangguan Menghe met this masked boy, he had already activated his signature illusion technique."

However, for some reason, it is unclear whether the ghost mask possesses exceptionally strong spiritual power or a rare treasure capable of protecting the soul.

In short, Shangguan Menghe's illusion not only failed to work, but he himself suffered a backlash from the illusion.

And so things turned out the way you see them now.

Upon hearing this, the others exchanged bewildered glances, quite surprised.

After all, whichever reason this person is speculating about is extremely rare.

In particular, his divine soul was so powerful that it could withstand and reflect the illusions of the Shangguan family's Daoist.

If this is true, it means that the masked boy's spiritual power is extraordinary, far stronger than that of an ordinary Golden Core Realm Ninth Rank expert.

On the contrary, if someone possesses a rare treasure that can protect their soul, they are more likely to accept it.

After all, rare treasures are indeed hard to come by, but some do exist in the world. Regardless of the reason, this made the group of mysterious figures look at the masked boy with renewed respect.

This kid's swordsmanship is not only superb, but he also possesses a powerful spiritual defense ability.

His strength is definitely among the top three of this batch of trainees.

"It's a pity that Cang Jue is an exception among this batch of trainees; otherwise, this kid might have really won first place," someone sighed.

The others fell silent, looking at Lu Qing with a hint of regret.

Indeed, judging solely from his own strength, this masked boy undoubtedly has the qualifications to compete for first place.

Unfortunately, this time, there was an extra Cang Jue in the trial.

The power of a high-grade demonic artifact is too terrifying. Even if Cang Jue cannot unleash its true power, it is still enough to surpass all Golden Core cultivators.

"I never expected to encounter an opponent who is proficient in illusion."

Lu Qing looked at Shangguan Menghe, who was kneeling in front of him and completely immersed in the illusion, and sighed.

The moment this person met him, he immediately activated an illusion, attempting to pull his soul into the illusion.

But Lu Qing is no ordinary person.

Now, his spiritual power has already reached the perfect Golden Core stage.

Not only did it condense such wondrous existences as divine soul talismans, but it also had five elemental spirit pearls guarding its brow acupoint.

He even cultivated the Merit Heavenly Robe, a secret technique specifically designed to protect the soul.

Most importantly, his [illusionary] supernatural power is a true illusionary supernatural power.

It can be said that Shangguan Menghe's illusion technique not only failed to pull him into the illusion, but it also failed to shake his soul. He suffered a backlash and ended up sinking into the illusion himself.

Seeing Shangguan Menghe's aura weakening, Lu Qing knew that if he was allowed to remain trapped in the illusion, he might be lost forever and eventually die from the dissipation of his soul.

Illusion magic manipulates the mind and will, harming and killing people invisibly. In many ways, it can be more bizarre and terrifying than other magical arts.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing decided to take only the trial jade talisman and the storage magic treasure from Shangguan Menghe before flying away.

However, before leaving, an invisible divine power landed on Shangguan Menghe, dispelling the illusion on him.

After more than ten breaths, Shangguan Menghe finally woke up from the illusion. He was initially confused, but then, as if he remembered something, a look of fear appeared in his eyes as he looked around.

But at this moment, Lu Qing was nowhere to be seen in the surrounding space.

When Shangguan Menghe discovered that his trial jade talisman and storage magic treasure had been taken away, his expression changed drastically.

"They actually let Shangguan Menghe go?"

The mysterious figures in the mysterious space were once again surprised to see this scene.

"This masked kid is interesting. He clearly cultivates a sword intent that has the power to cleave the heavens and destroy the earth, and is extremely murderous, but he hasn't killed a single person since the start of the trial, has he?"

"That's right. So far, he has only taken the trial jade tokens and has not killed anyone. However, before entering the trial secret realm, he killed three Golden Core Realm cultivators who wanted to rob him."

"It seems this kid has his own principles."

"Hmph, just womanly sentimentality. The reason we set those rules for this trial was to have them fight each other. What is he now, expressing his dissatisfaction with us?"

"There's no need to label us like that. Which of us cultivators doesn't have our own temper? Only those who can stick to their principles no matter what changes happen can go further on the path of cultivation."

"Look, the kid with the ghost mask seems to be heading in the direction where Cang Jue and the others are."

"Oh? This is interesting. I wonder if this kid can get there before the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace and the others are killed."

"Not only that, that elephant tribe kid seems to be heading that way too."

"This is going to be a good show. The boy from the Elephant Clan and the boy with the ghost mask are both among the top three in strength among this batch of trainees. I wonder if they can stand up to Cang Jue if they join forces."

"It's hard to say. Cang Jue possesses a high-grade demonic artifact. Among those in the Golden Core realm, I'm afraid no one could use it against him!"

"Not necessarily. Even a top-grade magical artifact isn't omnipotent. Cang Jue is limited by his strength and can't perfectly control this treasure. That's a flaw. If they can find that flaw, they might have a chance."

"It seems we're running out of time. Cang Jue appears to be about to make a move against the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace."

In the mysterious space, the dozen or so figures were all focused intently on the figures on the light screen.

"Fairy Luo, you don't need to worry about me. Just run away. As long as you find a place to throw away all the trial jade talismans you have, he won't be able to track you down."

On the other side, seeing the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace healing him, Daozi of Daoxu Temple mustered a sliver of divine soul power and whispered a message.

“There’s no escape.” The Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace shook her head gently. “This demon is cunning and won’t give me this chance. The only option now is to fight him to the death.”

If they had discarded the trial jade talismans they carried when they fled, they might have had a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, they ultimately lacked the decisiveness to overcome this trial, and now they have only made their own mistake.

"Fairy Keluo, you are no match for him!"

Daozi of Daoxu Temple was anxious, but his injuries were too severe to do anything.

"At worst, we'll just die. You and I should have been prepared for this when we embarked on this path of cultivation."

The Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace slowly stood up, and with a gentle push of her hand, a surge of magical power sent the Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple down to the ground below.

Seeing this, Cang Jue did not stop it, since he had already left a demonic mark on the little mouse.

Even if the opponent were seriously injured and on their last breath, or even if they were uninjured and in their peak condition, they would still be unable to escape his grasp.

On the contrary, it would be more pleasurable for Cang Jue to let the other person lie on the ground, helplessly and desperately watching how he humiliated and tortured his companion.

Looking at the Biluo Palace Saintess, who was still wearing a veil and exuding a cold aura, Cang Jue's eyes revealed a hint of approval.

"Not bad, you're a bit stronger than that piece of trash from before. After witnessing my power, you were still able to muster the will to fight. Among the humans I've met, you're the only one who's somewhat decent."

I can give you a choice: if you surrender now, kneel down, crawl to my feet and beg for mercy, I might consider sparing your life and making you my concubine.

Upon hearing Cang Jue's extremely insulting words, Daozi of Daoxu Temple, who was lying on his back on the ground, glared at Cang Jue with eyes full of anger.

On the contrary, the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace remained calm: "Demon, you don't need to try to provoke me with words. Between you and me, at most we will have to fight. Victory means life, defeat means death!"

"Is that so? But once you fall into my hands, your life and death will be out of your control. Seeing that you've been wearing a veil, you must be quite beautiful. I've changed my mind. After I capture you, I'll reward you to the demons behind me, letting those ugly creatures utterly humiliate you. I'm sure you'll be looking forward to it, hahahahaha."

As Cang Jue's arrogant laughter rang out, the demons in the distance were overjoyed, shouting that their lord was wise, and looking at the graceful Biluo Palace saintess with even greater lust.

"Demon, prepare to die!"

Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace finally showed anger on her face.

She took off her white jade hairpin, and as her black hair fell loose, she also threw the hairpin away.

Instantly, the world changed color.
