Chapter 69 In the Game
"That pretty boy's got some nerve!"
Looking at the pretty boy in front of him, Mo Ying felt a flash of murderous intent. He was cornered and still so arrogant. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was something special.
"Kill him and take back the manual!" A slight smile crept onto his lips. The time had come. Mo Ying immediately waved his hand at his junior brothers, and the others stepped forward in response.
Just as these people surrounded him, Shen Che almost felt a little dizzy for a moment, like the state of constantly nodding when you're staying up late at night.
My head is spinning, and my brain isn't working properly. It feels like I could fall asleep at any moment if I just lower my head.
Fortunately, he had now merged with the spirits of several people, and his own spirit was already quite powerful. This feeling was fleeting and had no effect on him.
"This is... the ultimate technique of the Illusionary Heart Sect, the Illusionary Heart Art?"
Looking up, Shen Che's eyes met Mo Ying's obviously surprised face, and he saw panic in the other's eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Mo Ying involuntarily pulled his horse back slightly, his whole body tensing, one hand gripping the reins tightly, as if he were about to run away if things went wrong.
"My illusionary mind technique has failed!" Composing himself from the panic, Mo Ying stared intently at the figure not far away.
He was already preparing for this attack when he first arrived; otherwise, he should have rushed up and killed him the moment they met. Why would he waste so much time talking to a pretty boy?
But who would have thought that the illusionary mind spell he had quietly set up couldn't even make the other party pause for a moment, or even be in a daze.
Such a reaction indicates either profound skill and a life cultivation so deep that it is completely unaffected, or the individual possesses equally powerful spiritual energy.
Either one is enough to prove that the other party is not someone to be trifled with.
Their master had warned them before that if they encountered someone who couldn't be shaken during a heart transplant, they should run away immediately without hesitation.
But now he hesitated. The face opposite him was too young, so young that he couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
So he didn't leave immediately; he was betting that the other party was just putting on an act, betting that the other party was bluffing.
My junior sister is right in front of me. It would be a real shame to let such a great achievement slip through my fingers.
He kept his eyes fixed on his fellow disciples, ready to turn and run away as soon as they were easily defeated.
Meanwhile, Shen Che, who was surrounded in the center, quietly watched the Huanxin Sect disciples rushing up, his expression unchanged.
He can handle small situations.
Before the disciples of the Illusionary Heart Sect even arrived, countless hidden weapons rained down like feathers, forming an impenetrable net.
From Shen Che's perspective, it seemed as if, in that instant, the scorching sunlight was obscured by the countless flying hidden weapons.
The next moment, an invisible and terrifying aura erupted from Shen Che, sweeping outwards and stirring up a cloud of dust.
Before these densely packed hidden weapons even got close, they were stirred up by this terrifying aura, and the clanging sounds were incessant.
Under this aura, everyone involuntarily trembled. It was as if they were being stared at by something extremely terrifying, making their hearts race and their limbs go weak.
Cold sweat involuntarily covered his forehead. Not only were his limbs stiff and he dared not move an inch, but even his breathing seemed to stop for half a second.
"What!" Mo Ying immediately stared wide-eyed, his mind blank for a moment.
Although he was somewhat prepared, the moment that terrifying aura appeared, his heart still trembled. He felt a sense of astonishment, as if he had been targeted and could not escape.
The next moment, Mo Ying forced himself to calm down and, without hesitation, chose to turn his horse around and run away.
As for the remaining disciples, we can only let them pray for their own good fortune.
As the sect leader's personal disciple, it was an honor for them to be chosen as his successor.
But the moment he turned around, a clear look of disorientation appeared on Mo Ying's face. Not only him, but all the disciples of the Illusion Heart Sect were like this.
The crowd, who had just recovered slightly from the oppressive aura of terror, paused in their actions and their eyes began to glaze over.
The next moment, with a series of subtle sounds of mechanisms being activated, a dense array of fine needles and short arrows suddenly appeared from afar, falling like a rainstorm, with each drop of rain accompanied by a scattering of blood.
The fact that Shen Che and his companion were surrounded by the disciples of the Illusionary Heart Sect actually created a barrier for them.
Most of the hidden weapons that flew from afar hit them, with only a small portion passing through them. However, Shen Che easily caught all of these hidden weapons.
Unlike the disciples of the Illusionary Heart Sect who were in a daze, he was immune to these hidden weapons even without cover.
"Dead!" Holding the hidden weapon that had been launched from afar, Shen Che's face was grim as he scanned his surroundings.
The disciples of the Illusionary Heart Sect around them, including the sect leader's third disciple, all fell straight off their horses with their faces turning black.
In the blink of an eye, all the disciples of the Illusionary Heart Sect were wiped out.
"Illusionary Mind Technique!" Staring blankly at her surroundings, Luo Xichan could hardly believe it. Her senior brother's reaction just now was clearly the Illusionary Mind Technique of their Illusionary Mind Sect.
Moreover, the only way to get so many people who have also practiced the Illusionary Mind Technique to fall victim to it at the same time, without any power to resist, is to tamper with them beforehand.
This is the greatest strength of the Illusionary Heart Sect: the Illusionary Heart Technique and the hidden weapons complement each other perfectly.
The most powerful and most feared aspect of the Illusionary Mind Technique is its ability to secretly plot and tamper with people before they are noticed.
When the attack is actually launched, those who are affected will not know that they have been tampered with; they will simply be momentarily stunned and easily defeated.
In a battle between masters, a moment's hesitation can be fatal. How much more so when one remains motionless amidst a barrage of hidden weapons; one becomes nothing more than a target.
"Is this the Heart-Swapping Technique of the Illusionary Heart Sect?" Luo Xichan's words beside him gave him some bad luck.
Following the direction from which the hidden weapon came, Shen Che found the mechanism, which had already been fully triggered, in the lush grass in the distance.
These mechanisms must have been set up here long ago, but they have never been triggered.
Just now, the moment the disciples of the Illusionary Heart Sect were affected by the Illusionary Heart Technique, these mechanisms were also activated.
However, when his senses expanded, there wasn't a single person in sight.
In other words, these mechanisms were pre-programmed with specific times, rather than being operated manually.
When Shen Che's gaze swept towards Luo Xichan behind him, Luo Xichan instinctively trembled the moment his eyes met hers.
She had previously perceived him as a reckless and unruly person, but now he seemed like a peerless master who had killed countless people.
Stared at by those eyes, she felt as if her whole body was ice-cold. Even though it was the hottest time of summer, she was drenched in cold sweat.
"Did you set up these mechanisms?"
"I...I didn't, I don't know. I didn't kill them, how could I kill my own fellow disciples!"
"Calm down!" Seeing that Luo Xichan was somewhat incoherent, Shen Che suddenly raised his voice, which also managed to calm her down a little from her panic.
"Luo Xichan, I'm asking you, why did you leave the secret manual in my room a few nights ago when you came to hide it?"
"I... I was chased there!" Stared at like that, Luo Xichan felt panicked, her voice trembling, no longer as arrogant as before.
"I promised my master that I wouldn't give this manual to anyone except my eldest brother. I was cornered in the alley at the time, and in my panic, I saw your window."
"It seems like your room is the only window there, so I thought I'd hide the manual there for now. That way, even if I get caught, the manual won't fall into the wrong hands."
"So, you were being chased so desperately that you were cornered?" Looking at the young girl in front of him with a deep gaze, Shen Che couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"You were cornered and about to be captured, but you managed to escape after using the secret technique. What do you think the odds are?"
"You were about to be arrested but weren't, so the people chasing you aren't actually after you; they're trying to force you to their location!"
Her eyes narrowed slightly, so she realized that she hadn't stumbled into the trap by mistake, but had been targeted and chosen long ago, which was why Luo Xichan had hidden the secret manual in her room.
Whether he had seen the manual or not, or even whether he knew it existed, the moment it appeared under his bed, he was already caught off guard.
"Which bastard is plotting against him!"
