Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 427 Wolf

Zheng Fan raised his head: "Isn't sticking out your tongue right away a bit too aggressive? And then you kept spitting your blood into my mouth, disgusting."

Jiang Si just smiled foolishly, not saying a word. In reality, she probably didn't have the strength to speak; if she didn't do something soon, she would die. But for her now, in a sense, even if she truly died powerless to change anything, she would probably die without regret.

She still had many things left to achieve, but after giving it her all to realize everything she had, dying happily in Zheng Fan's arms and even getting a kiss—wasn't that amazing?
Zheng Fan knew what she was thinking. It was because her emotions, which had been suppressed for too long since she became a zombie, had been suddenly unleashed, causing her to be in a state of near-madness. He couldn't do anything about it and turned to look at the tall white werewolf in front of him.

Yes, werewolves.

The hallucination possessed the spirit, directly altering the physical form of the spirit. It transformed from a well-proportioned human into a snow-white, standing werewolf.

It revealed a pair of pitch-black eyes; they were clearly those of a wolf, but they were human eyes.

"We agreed on a one-on-one duel, but if the other side doesn't follow the rules, there's nothing we can do," Zheng Fan said.

He gently covered Jiang Si's face: "Now, get some sleep. How long has it been since you've had a peaceful night's sleep?"

Jiang Si smiled and closed her eyes under Zheng Fan's gentle caress.

Then, "Jiang Si" removed her hands from her eyes and opened them, her gray-white pupils compressing the scarlet in her eyes to just a tiny bit.

"As expected, you have your own kind on you too..." the white werewolf hissed in a low voice.

"Your growth rate is very high, ranking among the top in all the illusions I've ever seen. It's true that you always encounter new and interesting things when you travel around. But even an illusion as powerful as yours is resisted by the host who has already established a connection with you?" "Jiang Si" said with one hand on her hip and leaning forward with a smile.

“Things can hardly escape their own path; transcendence is their only destination, and this becomes their sole pursuit. Spirits are incomplete beings; I cannot change their thoughts, nor can I give them a sense of security,” the werewolf said in a low voice.

"You've really had a tough time," Jiang Si remarked.

Fortunately, his mechs are all easy to get along with.

“Even so, he is still my child. I cannot stand by and do nothing about him being so badly injured,” the werewolf said.

Jiang Si scrutinized it, ignoring its dangerous gaze, and suddenly noticed something: "I thought the dense hallucinatory aura over there was the result of a large accumulation of hallucinations, but it turns out that's not the case. That whole aura is almost entirely you?"

"Jiang Si" was still speaking, but the werewolf had already begun to move. The next moment, its figure blurred, and its pale claws tore through the night sky.

But just as its claws were about to strike Jiang Si, it suddenly withdrew its hand and retreated rapidly.

“Very perceptive.” Jiang Si raised an eyebrow, and dangerous red threads flashed around her.

However, even though it retreated, "Jiang Si" wouldn't let it go easily. She raised her hand forward and flicked her finger lightly.

Jiang Si developed numerous uses for his red thread, constantly deepening his understanding and gradually breaking the limitations of real-world physics. But for Zheng Fan, no amount of fancy abilities could compare to simply pushing the thread straight out.

The red lines form a grid and push back, the thin red lines cutting across the mountainside, directly slicing a hillside in front of them into pieces, with soil and rocks flying and dust scattering everywhere.

"That's it?" Jiang Si walked with one hand on her hip amidst the falling pebbles, yet remained spotless.

"Awooo—" A wolf howl flashed through the dust and smoke. "Jiang Si" caught a glimpse of a ferocious beast and immediately turned around. He raised his hand and saw the werewolf's large hand slapping down towards him.

boom!
The powerful slap caused Jiang Si's knees to bend slightly, and the mountainside caved in, creating a large crater.

Good weight!

Jiang Si's eyes widened involuntarily; this was the first time he had felt such pure, extraordinary power. No matter which body Zheng Fan used, he had never been at a disadvantage in terms of physical attributes, let alone felt any pressure.

But now, the first being that could briefly match Zheng Fan's power after he possessed him, and even put pressure on Zheng Fan, has appeared!
The other party turned out to be an illusion using a spirit body. One hand couldn't block it.

Jiang Si's mouth suddenly widened into a grin, and her other hand, no longer idle, threw a punch forward.

The werewolf reacted quickly, using its free paw to deflect "Jiang Si's" fist. Then it raised its leg to kick "Jiang Si" from an opening, but "Jiang Si" countered with a knee strike.

The impact of their two exchanges, which involved relatively little effort, further ravaged the Zhoulan Mountains.

The werewolf was also surprised. As an illusion, it didn't have any special abilities. It was just plain and simple, able to take the place of anyone else no matter what body it was in. After transforming into a werewolf, it was able to unleash its powerful physique.

No matter what kind of enemy it faces, it can achieve absolute suppression in this aspect.

However, the opponent before us is not simple.

In terms of physical ability, the opponent is superior to me!
The werewolf's claws sliced ​​through the air, causing the air to heat up and explode in a series of bursts. "Jiang Si" got excited and didn't dodge or evade. She chopped down with a hand chop, knocking the werewolf's arm off balance. Then she took a step forward, closed the distance, grabbed the werewolf's neck, and pressed her body against the werewolf's chest with her knee, suddenly exerting force.

boom!
The werewolf was sent flying backward, smashing through several hills behind it, leaving a chasm that was clearly visible from the air in the Zhoulan Mountains. It had pierced right through the entire mountain range.

With such a commotion, neither spirits nor corpses could ignore it.

The idea that combat could alter the terrain was so exaggerated that it had a huge impact on the worldview of corpses and spirits.

White lightning once again pierced through the Zhoulan Mountains. The werewolf, lying prone on the ground, used all four limbs to rush back as fast as it had been blasted away.

The ground burned wherever it passed, and when it got close to "Jiang Si", it accelerated several times again.

The space around "Jiang Si" was distorted, and fire and electricity continued to spread with the werewolf's movement, making a continuous crackling sound.

Finally seizing an opening, he burst forth, closing in on Jiang Si, and his claws pierced through Jiang Si's body.

hit!
"Impressive, but its speed is a bit slower than a radish."

The werewolf watched as the afterimage of the claws piercing through disappeared, and "Jiang Si" appeared behind him, back to back: "You seem to have more than one body, and you're not even very used to this spirit body. Due to your own habits, you haven't shown any of the abilities that come from this body."

The werewolf slowly straightened up: "You and your host are both outsiders, and so am I. Wuhun is one of my many children, and also the most rebellious one."

"Interesting. You've already taken over their body; you could have completely taken it over at any time. Yet you only made your move now against a host who so strongly resists you?" Jiang Si was somewhat surprised.

"I no longer need to improve myself through exploitation. As long as I want reality to come to fruition, my children will cooperate with me. In comparison, exploitation, which is like draining the pond to catch all the fish, is low-level. For me, the value of my children living their lives and fulfilling their wishes is far greater than what exploitation can bring."

At this point, the werewolf looked up at the moon in the sky: "You're the same, aren't you, a stranger of the same kind? Although, I'm starting to doubt whether you're even one of them."

“Then I must say you have excellent taste.” Jiang Si didn’t hold back her praise.

For a truly high-potential illusion, possessing a host with a high degree of compatibility with itself is practically useless except for allowing itself to fully enter reality.

Keeping a high-quality host can bring continuous growth.

The fact that werewolves can reach this level is clearly a result of their profound understanding of this point.

“I am no match for you, but the Soulless One was killed by your host, and even my possession of this body cannot save it… For its sake, I will still do my best in this battle.” The werewolf’s tone carried a faint sadness, but his voice remained firm.

“Okay, then I’ll give you a chance,” Jiang Si said with a smile.
