Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

Lu Cheng felt his eye twitch, and then glanced back at Zhang Lexuan, who was panting beside him.

Clearly, there is still a significant difference in physical strength between a Soul Emperor and a Soul Douluo.

Tonight...

"Where are you two going to chase us?"

Lu Cheng suddenly stopped, turned around, and his blood-red eyes beneath the ghost mask indifferently scrutinized the two women.

"Le Xuan, don't look into his eyes!" Ruo Mu's pupils contracted, and he suddenly braked, blocking Zhang Le Xuan behind him.

"Yes!"

Zhang Lexuan's face was solemn.

Although they hated this holy son to the core, the strange strength he displayed made them realize that they could not be careless; there was still a possibility of being caught off guard and defeated...

"Just stop them." Ruomu transmitted his voice, "This guy's men are weak. Ling'er and the others should be able to finish them off soon and come to our aid. There's no need to fight to the death."

"Hehe, I didn't expect the Wood Demon of the Inner Court to be so cautious." Lu Cheng placed his hands behind his back, landing on the top of an ancient tree. He showed no sign of being embarrassed. Instead, he glanced at Zhang Lexuan with a complicated expression, his voice neither male nor female, as he teased Ruomu.

"..."

Ruomu and Zhang Lexuan exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with astonishment.

This Holy Son is acting strangely... He knows so much about Shrek Academy's inner court. Her nickname in the inner court was usually just something her fellow disciples teased about, but why would a notorious evil soul master Holy Son know about the title "Wood Demon"?

"Who exactly are you!" Ruomu said coldly, standing atop a thick, emerald-green vine, staring intently at Lu Cheng. "Hidden in Shrek City for so long... it is the negligence of my inspection team."

“The inspection team did indeed fail in its duties,” Lu Cheng said leisurely.

"Hmph! You're hardly a qualified evil spirit master to say such things!" Ruomu sneered, his killing intent intensifying.

Zhang Lexuan glanced behind her and saw several auras rising from Shrek City like rainbows piercing the sun, approaching this place. A hint of joy flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Senior Sister Ruomu, Sister Ling'er and the others have finished dealing with it!"

"You scum, let's see where you run!" Ruomu's eyes flashed with cold light, and a pitch-black soul ring suddenly rose from the bottom of his feet. Within a radius of several miles, countless ancient trees seemed to come alive, looking eerily in Ruomu's direction.

"A vast sea of ​​trees!"

Ruomu gave a light drink.

The next instant, looking down from the sky, all those ancient trees stretched out dense branches, wrapping around Lu Cheng. Even a level 89 peak Soul Douluo would have a headache if he saw this. Clearly, Ruomu had unleashed a powerful move.

"Le Xuan!"

"it is good!"

The sky suddenly brightened for a moment, as if the bright moon had descended to earth. Silvery moonlight shone down, and the black-haired beauty was like a moon fairy, her eyes cold and aloof from the mortal world. Two soul rings rose from the soles of her feet.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Moonfall!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Moon's Silence!"

The enormous moon behind him first emitted a golden light, then the crescent moon transformed into a scythe and attacked Lu Cheng, before turning dark and silent again, with a silver halo enveloping Lu Cheng.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and then a beam of moonlight fell straight down, causing penetrating damage.

"..."

"boom!!!"

A continuous roar resounded.

A look of surprise flashed in Zhang Lexuan's eyes: "Senior Sister Ruomu, he..."

"He's not dead." Ruomu said calmly.

The girl turned her head and looked down at the center of the besieged battlefield in the distance. The figure in black robes slowly appeared, but compared to before, he seemed a little more disheveled, as if he had been injured. But for some reason, she felt no joy at this moment, but rather a strange sense of irritation.

A figure involuntarily flashed into my mind: that silly blockhead didn't come to the operation, and I wondered where he went...

"..."

A mouthful of blood spilled from Lu Cheng's mouth. He slowly wiped it away with his hand, a smile curving his lips, and a hint of madness flashed in his blood-red eyes.

"If this is all the skill they have, then Shrek Academy's reputation is far too disappointing..."

"Hehe, look around."

Ruomu sneered, and a dozen or so members of the monitoring team appeared in the distance, their eyes solemn, surrounding the area.

"I didn't go all out before because I was afraid you'd run away, but now..."

"You beast, your death is near!"

"Wood Release: Ultimate Forest!"

Ruomu rapidly formed hand seals, and an increasingly terrifying aura emanated from the surroundings. At this moment, the boundless forest grew rapidly, forming a terrifying wooden cocoon that enveloped the entire sky.

As the second strongest among the inner disciples of Shrek Academy, she naturally possessed her own unique skills, and as she had said before, it was indeed just a minor skirmish.

A dozen or so figures surrounded Lu Cheng, each displaying their unique abilities and sparing no effort in their encirclement and suppression.

"Pfft..."

Lu Cheng was trapped by Zhang Lexuan's Silver Moon again and took a full-force blow from a Soul Saint Realm disciple. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned even paler.

“It’s over…” Ruomu’s eyes were indifferent. He clasped his hands together, and more vines rose from the ground, lashing out at Lu Cheng.

Even though the latter dodged nimbly, he still took a hit, his body flying backward and crashing onto an ancient tree.

Cracks appeared on the ancient tree behind him, and Lu Cheng coughed violently, as if he were coughing up his internal organs.

"What else do you have to say before you die?" Ruomu sneered, crossed his arms, and looked down indifferently.

A dozen or so members of the inspection team were scattered among the ancient trees around them, all with sharp eyes.

Zhang Lexuan's stunningly beautiful face remained indifferent as she gazed at the dying, death-sentenced evil spirit master, but her thoughts had already returned to the inner courtyard. What was that blockhead doing? Should she really do as Senior Sister Ruomu suggested and raid his room that night...?

A blush crept up her fair cheeks from her neck. She gently patted her face with her delicate hand, glancing around nervously. Fortunately, the night was dark, and everyone's attention was focused on the man in black robes, so no one noticed anything amiss.

The beauty's eyes were languid as she unconsciously glanced at the man in black robes. Her cold gaze was about to continue pondering the topic of "should we launch a night raid?" when a jade pendant in emerald green suddenly caught her eye, leaving her stunned for a few seconds.

Wait... something seems off.

She suddenly looked at the figure in black again, where a faint emerald green shadow was visible around the waist.

That jade pendant was a token of love she gave to her brother after the destruction of their family.

Later, when he returned to the Zhang family, he found the only surviving relic next to his mother's charred body.

Just as Ruomu sneered, intending to strike a fatal blow...

A dark scythe crashed down, the tip piercing Lu Cheng's neck. The beauty, her eyes bloodshot, held the end of the scythe in her hand, like a guillotine, and pinned it to the neck of the man in black.

Blood trickled from her neck.

Amidst the bewildered gazes of the Shrek disciples, Zhang Lexuan, no longer the aloof fairy she once was, revealed an extreme murderous intent in her eyes as she squeezed out each word.

"What did you do to my brother?!"

"Speak!"

Chapter 16 Amadeus! Zhang Lexuan: Brother, please, come home with me, okay?

"Le Xuan?" a disciple from the monitoring group asked in surprise. "What does this have to do with our senior brother?"

"..." Ruomu's eyes flickered, he waved his hand, and asked the suddenly enraged girl with concern, "Lexuan, what happened?"

“This is my brother’s jade pendant! It contains the soul energy that he and I nurtured together.” Zhang Lexuan pointed to the black-robed man’s waist, her voice filled with killing intent.

"Senior Brother Lu Cheng?!"

"Did the eldest brother also fall victim to a sneak attack?"

"..."

The inner courtyard disciples around them were all shocked, and various speculations arose wildly because they connected this to the fact that Lu Cheng had not appeared before. After all, it was said that this guy was proficient in mental power and illusion, and one could easily be tricked if one was not careful.

Although the eldest brother is formidable in combat, it's not impossible for him to be caught off guard and suffer an unexpected defeat...

"say!"

Zhang Lexuan grew increasingly enraged, pressing her jade-like hand deeper into the black scythe. A visible wound opened at the black-robed man's neck, and blood flowed gushing down the beauty's arm.

The man in black robes kept his head down.

His eyes were obscured by the black robe.

“Le Xuan…”

Ruomu narrowed his eyes and reached out to remove the mask, but just as his hand was about to touch it...

The man in black robes slowly raised his head.

A smile played at the corners of his lips.

Beneath the demon mask, intricate patterns appeared in the blood-red eyes, radiating an eerie crimson light.

"Amaterasu!"

"No, be careful!"

As Ruomu shouted, several inner court disciples who were staring intently at Lu Cheng froze, then lost control and tumbled to the ground.

"A mere reflection has kept you company for quite a while now..."

A voice drifted out.

Startled, Ruomu looked into the distance and saw a figure atop another ancient tree, identical to the man in black.

The black-clad man, who had been severely injured earlier, emitted a crisp cracking sound as his body shattered layer by layer, like a mirror breaking apart, turning into scattered shadows under the soft moonlight.

"Damn it..." Ruomu's face was extremely ugly.

Such unpredictable behavior... Could it be that Lu Cheng has really been tricked?

"No! The mirror image shattered, and his real body was also injured!" A disciple from the monitoring team who specialized in mental power suddenly exclaimed.

"Chase!"

Lu Cheng glanced at Zhang Lexuan, whose eyes were glazed over as if she were trapped in a nightmare, casually stunned a member of the inspection team, dodged her attack, and sped deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

……

"Let's see how many mirror images you can create!"
