Chapter 1572 - Illusion Array
“Your Highness, Qingfeng is too powerful. We must think of something,” said a woman in black as she appeared from behind Saladin.
This woman in black was very beautiful with an attractive face, white skin, a tall nose, and blue eyes like blue gems that glowed with stars.
In addition, this woman in black wasn’t very old, at most twenty some years old, with a beautiful figure.
However, she was completely wrapped within this black robe like a witch, as her body released cold energy that was completely opposite from Saladin’s light energy.
This woman in black was referred to as the Black Sword, the Great Executioner of the Pope’s Pagoda, who controlled the dark side. She was a fierce sword Saladin used to suppress ferocious beasts and didn’t usually appear. If Qingfeng hadn’t reached the third floor, she wouldn’t have showed up.
In the Tiger Continent, the Great Executioner represented death, an existence more horrific than vampires.
Saladin smiled lightly and said, “The previous Pope disappeared because of Qingfeng, which is why I managed to acquire this position. I know of Qingfeng’s power but don’t worry. The fourth floor has an illusion array and is controlled by the three-tailed fox.”
The woman in black nodded when she heard Saladin.
They’ve already noticed Qingfeng’s immense power and that he was well versed in talisman scripts. However, they believed that Qingfeng might not understand array knowledge, and that an illusion array could block him.
After Qingfeng killed the puppet beast on the third floor, he led Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake towards the fourth floor.
Not long after, they reached the fourth floor, but when they pushed open the door, Qingfeng’s face changed.
The floor was filled with fog, reducing visibility by a lot. Qingfeng couldn’t even see Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake before him.
He realized that the fog could also block off sounds, since Qingfeng failed to hear Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake as well.
Qingfeng had encountered things like this before, so he knew that there must be an array creating the white fog.
He channeled the spirit energy inside his brain to keep himself awake. Then, he raised his right foot and began walking forward.
Qingfeng walked very fast, traveling several hundred meters only after a short while. However, Qingfeng noticed that no matter which way he went, he always ended up in the same spot.
This was no ordinary white fog; it contained some Eight Trigrams laws. Unless they found the gate of birth, also known as the gate of life, there was no way of getting out.
As Qingfeng was just preparing to crack this white array, he heard a familiar voice ring out from behind him.
“Qingfeng, I miss you.” A crisp alluring voice sounded from behind Qingfeng.
Qingfeng seemed excited when he heard this voice, as he turned around and saw Ruyan Liu, just as he had imagined.
Ruyan was now wearing a black dress and was very beautiful. Her pretty face blossomed like a rose as her eyelashes fluttered with sentiments. She quietly walked towards Qingfeng with love in her eyes.
“Ruyan, are you okay? Where have you been?” Qingfeng asked Ruyan with excitement in his voice, clearly with unsettled emotions.
Qingfeng came here in search of monarch grade vitality stones to find Ruyan, but who knew that he would see her here. His heart was filled with excitement.
Ruyan’s eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of coldness as she quietly approached Qingfeng with excitement. She quickly arrived before Qingfeng and poured herself into his arms.
However, no one had noticed that the fingernails on Ruyan’s right hand grew out with green light that tore through the air as her hand plunged towards Qingfeng’s heart.
At the time of emergency, the Black-White Millstone in Qingfeng’s mind shook as it released two rays of black-white light that erased the illusion image of Ruyan from Qingfeng’s mind.
At the next moment, Qingfeng’s eyes gained clarity, as it shot out two rays of golden light onto Ruyan’s body and showed her real appearance.
This was not Ruyan at all, but an illusion of her constructed by a three-tailed fox.
“Dammit, it’s an illusion array! I’ve been tricked,” Qingfeng cursed to himself with great anger.
Qingfeng figured that he had fallen for the three-tailed demonic fox’s trick because he missed Ruyan too much. It had taken advantage of his feelings and greatly angered him.
In the next moment, Qingfeng’s hair raised as he felt a strong surge of danger.
The three-tailed fox disguised as Ruyan raised its sharp claws and charged towards his heart.
Qingfeng wanted to dodge it, but it was too late. He hurriedly activated his Mortal Purgatory Body, as his body released golden light. It looked as if he was forged by gold.
Snap!
With a loud sound, the three-tailed fox disguised as Ruyan clawed at Qingfeng’s body, scraped his skin, and even grabbed at his bone inside.
This claw was far too sharp, even Qingfeng’s golden skin couldn’t block it.
However, under the emergency, Qingfeng’s Mortal Purgatory Body still came of use and protected his heart from harm.
“You damn demonic fox, how dare you disguise yourself as Ruyan to trick me! I’ll kill you,” Qingfeng cursed loudly with anger in his eyes.
Qingfeng directly waved his right fist to form a Fire Palm that heavily slapped onto the three-tailed demonic Fox’s body, sending its body flying out.
The three-tailed fox screamed out in pain and returned to its original appearance. This was a white demonic fox with three tails.
Its fur was snow white, and the white fog was being released from its body.
The three-tailed fox’s eyes were both white with no black iris, as it coldly stared at Qingfeng with anger.
The demonic fox opened its mouth and spat out a sonic wind blade toward Qingfeng.
Qingfeng smiled coldly. How dare it use a sonic spirit attack in front of him? His spirit energy had already reached the ninth level of the spirit emperor realm and was very powerful. The demonic fox was practically begging for death.
Qingfeng opened his mouth and shouted, “Third Roar – Lightning Lion.”
Three golden sound wave lions appeared before Qingfeng as it released light that charged forward as fast as lightning. It immediately arrived before the three-tailed fox and directly scattered the sonic wind blade.
