114: Chapter 114 The Green Snakes started fighting.

"How is this possible?"

Xu Qing shook his head.

He suspected he had fallen into a large-scale illusion.

Could this evil entity be an illusion type?

Xu Qing didn't have any See Through type skills.

Although the tiancheng cloth could enhance vision, it only enhanced dynamic vision and microscopic capabilities.

It didn't have the ability to break illusions.

"Xiao Qing, you're an Immortal!"

Looking at the flying Xu Qing, the Red-Clothed Woman's eyes sparkled.

"If you must say so, I'm not even human."

"You can call me an Immortal Snake!"

Xu Qing corrected her lines.

It was just like telling a person they were a snake demon.

Telling a snake that it was just like a human was insulting.

When Yao Beasts cursed at each other...

They would shout, "You're a human!" "You're the human, your whole family are humans!" "You son of a human!"

"You seem quite familiar with this Prince's Mansion."

"Do you know..."

Just as Xu Qing was about to question the heroine in his arms, something unexpected happened.

The ground shook and the mountains swayed.

Despite it being daytime, the entire Prince's Mansion instantly turned pitch black, as if night had fallen in an instant; the Yin Qi was chilling, making even a snake's skin crawl.

Changing the heavens and earth!

"Did you do this, Immortal Snake?"

The Red-Clothed Woman looked at Xu Qing, her eyes shining.

As expected of an Immortal Snake, to be able to do something like this.

"It wasn't me, don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Qing stopped playing around.

He had the least resistance against this kind of ghostly stuff!

He quickly pulled out the jade token and, without the slightest hesitation, crushed it with force.

The Green Snake was probably scared, but the Green Snake would never admit it.

The crushed jade token turned into a stream of light and dissipated, and then... nothing happened.

With a dark expression, Xu Qing reached into his robe.

Sure enough, the crushed jade token appeared in his hand again.

An illusion.

The entire Prince's Mansion was one giant illusion.

Crushing the jade token within an illusion naturally wouldn't have any effect.

"Roar!"

A world-shaking roar sounded.

Xu Qing's body swayed as his Demonic Power vanished completely, and he fell wobbling from the sky.

He smashed through the roof of a house and fell inside.

"Dammit!"

Rubbing his numbed buttocks, Xu Qing's face darkened.

His entire Demonic Power had actually disappeared.

Even though he knew this was a hallucination...

"No way, once this is over, I have to learn an illusion-breaking skill no matter what!"

Xu Qing was scared.

He tripped up over illusions every single time.

For a Golden Core Great Yao like himself to be toyed with by illusions—if word got out, he would lose all the face of the Lisheng Green Snake.

"Hey, Heroine, wake up!"

Xu Qing patted the Red-Clothed Woman who had fainted beside him, but there was no response.

As everyone knows, in a haunted house, when your companion faints from an accident and you're the only one left conscious...

Something terrifying is absolutely going to happen!

Knock, knock, knock!

The door to the room was knocked upon.

Xu Qing picked up the Red-Clothed Woman, looked around, and hid in the wardrobe.

Knock, knock, knock!!

Knock—

The sound grew louder and louder, then abruptly stopped, leaving the entire space in an eerie silence.

Then, a set of footsteps grew more distant.

Xu Qing was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Found you!"

"Gaga!"

The wardrobe was swung open!

An extremely decayed face appeared before him, laughing maniacally.

Xu Qing was scared witless.

Sorry, Golden Core Seniors, I've brought shame to our Golden Core rank!

"Hallucination, it's all a hallucination!"

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!"

Holding the unconscious Red-Clothed Woman, Xu Qing lashed out with a kick.

The terrifying figure in front of him was kicked flying.

...That's it?

But Xu Qing soon noticed his leg rapidly turning black, and his whole body began to decay.

In an instant, he was forced back to his original form, turning into a giant green snake, and then...

The entire green snake rapidly rotted away, dissolving into nothingness.

...

He was in a side room.

Blood-stained shackles were scattered around.

"Young Master, I really caught a top-quality beauty today!"

"That face, tsk tsk."

Footsteps drew closer.

The door to the side room was pushed open.

"Little lady!"

Xu Qing stared at the three people who entered, stunned.

Had he undergone Revival?

No, the illusion had restarted!

This was the starting point of the illusion, if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Xu Qing looked toward the door.

A figure in red rushed in.

"Ouch."

"Ow, ow!"

"Ouch, ouch!"

Three cries of pain, exactly the same as before.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, come with Big Sister!"

"These guys are no good!"

The Red-Clothed Woman grabbed Xu Qing's arm.

Sure enough, even the dialogue was identical.

"In this entire Prince's Mansion, you're the only one who's different."

"This is too strange, isn't it?"

As Xu Qing spoke, he grasped the Xiliang Sword hanging nearby.

He struck with a single slash.

The Red-Clothed Woman was decapitated.

The surroundings still didn't change.

Xu Qing frowned and turned his gaze to the three stunned men.

He casually cut down the two servants like chopping vegetables.

Xu Qing looked at the Young Master in front of him.

"Do you know this woman?"

Xu Qing held his long sword across the Young Master's neck.

"It's her, it's her, she's back again!"

"Why, why?"

"I clearly hired someone to perform a ritual and buried her properly."

The Young Master held his head in his hands and crouched down.

Then he seemed to realize something.

"Why do I have memories of my death?"

"Am I... already dead?"

"Have I already been killed by her?"

Blood flowed from the Young Master's seven orifices, his eyes turned blood-red, and his mouth split open to his earlobes.

Then he lunged to bite Xu Qing.

"Bastard!"

Xu Qing quickly dodged, remembering that when he touched this kind of ghost before, his entire body had rotted away.

Creeeeak!

The Red-Clothed Woman, whom Xu Qing had decapitated, stood up wobbling.

She held her head with both hands and set it back onto her neck.

Then she looked toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing also looked at her quietly.

Then he said one thing.

"The Green Snake specializes in treating bruises and Sharp Weapon cuts."

"Currently offering a 20% discount."

Expressionless, the Red-Clothed Woman lightly raised her hand and extended a finger.

That blood-red fingernail grew long and stabbed straight toward Xu Qing.

Having prepared, Xu Qing quickly brought the Xiliang Sword across, blocking the incoming nail.

Sparks flew everywhere.

"Phew."

Xu Qing flicked his sword to parry the nail away.

His left hand gripped the cloth strip over his eyes and gently pulled it off.

Revealing that pair of strangely colored eyes.

As the black and white heterochromatic pupils shifted, his entire body transformed into a phantom.

It was exactly the Physical Body turning into a spirit body.

"Let me leave, and we'll both mind our own business!"

"I promise, I'll never lay a hand on you again!"

Xu Qing really didn't want to fight this weird evil entity.

His first fight after reaching Golden Core was against this kind of bizarre evil; Xu Qing felt bitter.

He had to find a way out of the Prince's Mansion.

Once out, he could take out the ice evil ruyi scepter and give her the first big surprise of spring with a blast of Green Fire.

As for minding their own business?

He was the River God; he'd interfere with whatever waters he pleased!

"I don't believe you."

The Red-Clothed Woman shook her head coldly; as she did, blood sizzled out from her neck.

"Don't be so aloof, I still prefer your silly side."

"The last ice mountain has already melted into a spring lake."

"..."

And so, they started fighting again.
