115: Chapter 115 Green Snake Fights Red-Clad Woman

"In an illusion, you cannot possibly be my opponent."

"...Ah, right, right, right."

Xu Qing spat out a mouthful of Green Fire.

The Red-Clothed Woman simply waved her hand, and all the Green Fire Xu Qing spat out vanished.

Then, with a flicker of her body, she transformed into over a hundred figures, darting in all directions.

Xu Qing quickly scanned all the figures.

Then, forming hand seals, his lower body transformed into a large green tail.

"Withdraw!"

He patted the jade gourd at his waist.

The mouth of the heaven-accepting gourd emitted a golden light as it rose into the air, tilting to aim downward.

Under the immense suction, one figure after another floated uncontrollably toward the mouth of the gourd.

Before even touching the heaven-accepting gourd, they turned into distorted phantoms and disappeared.

Finally, only one red figure remained in form, not having been drawn into the gourd.

"Red-Clothed Woman, if I call your name, do you dare to answer?"

Gripping the gourd in his right hand, he aimed it down at the Red-Clothed Woman from above.

"Hmph!"

The Red-Clothed Woman gave a cold snort, her hands never stopping their seal-forming.

Xu Qing looked down at his body; the skin was actually bulging and then peeling off, revealing the blood-red muscle underneath.

The pain of being skinned made Xu Qing unable to help but groan softly.

"Illusion, it's all an illusion!"

Xu Qing changed his hand seal, forming the White Flood Dragon Heart-Clearing Seal.

The sudden pain only caused Xu Qing's body to sway slightly; compared to the agony of Resurrection, this could only be considered a massage.

A skin-peeling massage.

"The moon has its phases of waxing and waning! Heavenly Dog Eats the Moon!"

The Red-Clothed Woman raised her hand, pointing at the full moon in the sky.

The moon looked as if a huge bite had been taken out of it, leaving a gap.

And Xu Qing also felt a sharp pain in half of his body.

Turning his head to look, the left half of his body had vanished into thin air, as if bitten off by something invisible.

Even for Xu Qing, he felt a pain that pierced to the very marrow of his bones at this moment.

"In my illusion Domain, there is no distinction between reality and fantasy."

"Reality can be fantasy, and fantasy can be reality."

The Red-Clothed Woman spoke as she looked at Xu Qing's wretched figure.

"Damn it, you're just bullying me because I don't have any illusion-breaking skills!"

Xu Qing gritted his teeth, pressing his fingers together into a sword gesture with one hand.

The poised Xiliang Sword let out a sword hum, and with a flash of green light, it sliced the Red-Clothed Woman into pieces.

However, each piece was like a scrap of paper, drifting off in all directions.

"Stop it."

The voice of the Red-Clothed Woman sounded in Xu Qing's ear.

He hurriedly turned his head and bit toward it.

It was like biting into air, with no sense of reality at all.

"Illusion, another illusion."

Xu Qing looked around; the Red-Clothed Woman had appeared again in the distance.

She extended a slender finger, pointing at Xu Qing's arm.

“Bang!”

His entire right arm exploded into a bloody mist.

And strangely enough, up until now, Xu Qing's wounds hadn't shown the slightest bit of Heal-ing.

He was a Lisheng Green Snake evolved from a Resurrection Green Snake!

"Even for an illusion, it shouldn't be this powerful!"

"This is practically like a dream!"

Xu Qing's eyes lit up.

If it were a dream, if all of this were based on his own thoughts...

It would explain the Red-Clothed Woman's abilities that almost defied the laws of cultivation.

Xu Qing beckoned, and the Xiliang Sword appeared before him.

Then he pressed the blade against his neck, but he felt a bit cowardly again.

If this wasn't a dream and he was overthinking it, he would really die like this.

And then he'd have to experience that Resurrection pain that was worse than death again.

"Have you noticed? That's right, this is all a dream."

"You only need to die to escape this dream."

Instead of stopping Xu Qing, the Red-Clothed Woman seemed to be tempting him to die.

"..."

"You're playing hard to get!"

"Your Snake Grandpa already figured out this trick a thousand years ago!"

The Xiliang Sword slashed down fiercely.

Blood light soared to the heavens as Xu Qing directly cut off his own head.

Unlike the deaths in the previous illusions,

this death was much closer to reality, yet still a fraction away from true death.

After all, Xu Qing was a snake who had truly experienced death!

Waking up with a start, Xu Qing felt as if he had just had a long, drawn-out dream.

Opening his eyes, the Prince's Mansion was right in front of him.

And the gatekeeper from the dream was currently dozing against the mansion gate.

Entering a dream with a single glance, it seemed only a moment had passed in the outside world.

"Watch me burn your Prince's Mansion to the ground!"

Thinking of the events in the dream, Xu Qing became fly into a rage from shame.

But after thinking about it, he chickened out again.

He hadn't even entered the mansion yet and was already pulled into a dream by that Red-Clothed Woman.

Maybe the moment he harbored ill intent, he would be pulled back into the dream again.

"...I can't beat her, I'll go get reinforcements!"

Xu Qing hadn't forgotten that he had Elder Li backing him up.

If he couldn't win, he could totally go get someone who could!

However, just as Xu Qing had this thought,

the jade token on his chest vibrated. Xu Qing took it out and looked closely.

"Niangniang, Daya and I have gone to tour the capital, do not disturb."

"This matter needs to be completed by you; it will be of great benefit to you."

"Also, that evil spirit has already developed intelligence and will not kill you."

"Furthermore, it cannot kill you anyway; it can only scare you."

"The above is a message. Repeating now."

"Niangniang, Daya and I..."

Xu Qing almost crushed the jade token.

This Elder had actually predicted it all along!

And she didn't even warn him, letting him suffer greatly in the dream.

She only gave him a message.

"That mother-con Elder probably just wants to keep me busy for a while so I don't disturb her and Daya's world for two!"

Xu Qing stomped his feet in anger.

"So infuriating for a snake!"

"So infuriating for a snake!"

Xu Qing looked toward the mansion.

Through the previous dream, Xu Qing had also gained some information.

There was a profligate Young Master in this mansion.

And this profligate Young Master seemed to know the woman who had transformed into the evil spirit.

From that guy's words, it could be inferred that the Red-Clothed Woman seemed to be dead already.

And her body had been buried by him.

"Maybe I can inquire for information from these aspects."

"I hope it's not the kind of thing I'm imagining."

Xu Qing straightened his green clothes and left the Prince's Mansion.

First, he stopped a woman who was buying vegetables.

But as soon as Xu Qing asked about the Prince's Mansion, the woman trembled, quickly lowered her head, and walked away, not daring to say more.

Next, he asked several people in a row, but regardless of gender, no one dared to answer.

Someone even warned Xu Qing that as a young girl, inquiring about the Prince's Mansion, she should be careful not to be seized.

"...Is this forcing me to use this skill!"

Xu Qing looked at the [Heart-Bewitching Art lv1] in his skill bar and bit his lip.

He always felt that once he used this skill, his heart would lose something very important.

That's reserve, reserve!

Just then, a scholar happened to walk by.

Xu Qing's heart struggled for a few moments, but in the end, he let out a sigh.

The skill is innocent...

"Hey, you, come over here."

Xu Qing beckoned with his hand and activated Charm.

The scholar looked at Xu Qing, a look of infatuation appearing in his eyes as he walked over dazed.

"This Young Miss..."

"Young Miss your ass!"

Xu Qing got angry the moment he heard that form of address and kicked him.

The scholar gasped, and his eyes seemed to regain some clarity.

Xu Qing hurriedly activated Charm again.

[Ding, proficiency has reached the requirement]

[Heart-Bewitching Art lv1 has been upgraded to Heart-Bewitching Art lv2]
