1084 Chapter Virtual (Seeking Subscription)_1

Having distanced themselves, Zhou Qingruo's icy blue amber eyes flickered, and she turned to Xu Sheng with a cold voice, "Xu Sheng, are we just going to let those people go like this? They were ready to kill us!"

Standing beside her, Xu Sheng heard this and suddenly paused…

He stretched out his hands at a leisurely pace, twirling her dense, ice-blue strands that carried a chill with great focus…

This overly intimate gesture brought a blush to Zhou Qingruo's cheeks, and the coldness in her tone lessened by a few degrees, "Xu Sheng, what are you…"

Before she could finish, Xu Sheng cut in with a light smile, "Qingruo, after absorbing the bloodline, even your hair has turned ice blue, fitting your personality indeed!"

Her personality was already cold as ice, and now, her temperament and appearance were elevated once more…

Hearing these words that were hard to decipher, Zhou Qingruo bit her tender, thin lips softly and asked meekly, "Is that so? Then, Xu Sheng… do you… do you think it looks good?"

As soon as the question was asked, Zhou Qingruo realized just how embarrassing the words she had said were!!

She instinctively shifted her gaze away from Xu Sheng…

Xu Sheng blinked his dark eyes and generously praised, "It's quite nice, of course, it would be even better if you could change your icy demeanor!"

Zhou Qingruo was taken aback, and unwittingly committed his words deep into her heart…

Then, attempting to make her tone as gentle as possible, she fixed her gaze on Xu Sheng and spoke softly, "I… I'll try."

Seeing the sickening display of affection between the two, Duanmu Lian hurried over to pull them apart…

But the next moment, she felt somewhat awkward…

Because both of them were looking at her, seemingly waiting for her to respond…

Duanmu Lian coughed and said while bracing herself, "Cough cough… Qingruo, and Xu Sheng, aren't you acting a bit too intimate, as if you can't see me standing here?"

"Besides, aren't we still on our way? Can't we talk about this after we leave the Secret Realm?"

For some reason, seeing the scene that had just unfolded, a tinge of jealousy arose in her heart…

She couldn't help wanting to break the two of them apart…

Zhou Qingruo's sharp gaze fixed on Duanmu Lian for several seconds before she finally said, "What she said does make sense, Xu Sheng. Do you know how to leave the Secret Realm?"

Xu Sheng first glanced around, then turned his attention to the space on the right and said, "It's simple to leave here. Just break that part of the space, and we can."

Hearing this, Duanmu Lian was stunned…

Question marks kept surfacing in her mind…

"???"

Breaking space is simple? Why didn't she know that?

Or has Xu Sheng's strength reached such a terrifying level?

To know, even a Saint Realm Expert might not be able to forcibly break through space!

Zhou Qingruo's Beautiful Eyes furrowed, questioning, "Xu Sheng, I'm not doubting you, but among the three of us here, none can do that, right?"

Although Xu Sheng was very strong, from what he had shown before, he was far from reaching the level needed to break through space!

Not to mention Duanmu Lian and herself!

But she believed Xu Sheng would give a reasonable explanation, after all, he would not say it without cause if it could not be achieved!

Xu Sheng reached out and lightly tapped on their heads, chuckling, "You're overthinking it. The space before our eyes is nothing but a high-level virtual one! Just break this illusion, and we can leave!"

Upon hearing this explanation, Zhou Qingruo and Duanmu Lian suddenly understood…

Zhou Qingruo lightly nodded and said, "I see! By concealing the exit with a high-level illusion, it creates the visual illusion that it is impossible to leave for those who see this space!"

In that case, they would choose to turn back and head towards other areas of the Secret Realm…

Duanmu Shuo also smacked his lips, expressing, "If it weren't for Xu Sheng, we would probably be bumping around in this Secret Realm like headless flies!"

The most ludicrous possibility would even be getting trapped in this Secret Realm for a lifetime!

Xu Sheng's complexion quietly grew solemn by a few shades, "Aside from that, anyone who wants to break through this high-level illusion solely by force is impossible! One must directly confront the thing they fear the most at the bottom of their heart!"

In other words, it's akin to defeating one's inner demons!

Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo looked at each other and in unison made an "Mmm!" sound...

The next moment, they stepped forward towards this

Seeing this, Xu Sheng reached out to stop them, "Qingruo, Miss Lian, wait a moment!"

But it was clearly too late, as soon as the two of them entered the space ahead, their figures disappeared in a strange manner!

Xu Sheng pursed his lips and thought to himself, "Those two really are somewhat reckless! If they are defeated by the illusions created by the illusion, they could be lost in it forever!"

Then he shook his head, "Whatever, it's something that has to be faced sooner or later!"

Having said that, Xu Sheng also closed his eyes and stepped into the illusion...

...

When Xu Sheng opened his eyes again, everything in front of him had undergone a drastic change!

He squinted his eyes and murmured to himself, "Is this the illusion?"

The only thing that could be clearly seen was one thing!

Black Mist!

So dense that one couldn't see their own hands, an overarching Black Mist! It felt as if everything around was devoured by the darkness...

Then, spots of light flickered in quiet succession ahead...

As soon as Xu Sheng saw this, he became wary at heart and groped his way forward...

He saw the starlight becoming brighter and brighter, even dispersing the Black Mist within a few meters...

Upon reaching where the starlight culminated, he found a very adorable little boy who seemed to be engrossed in searching for something...

Sensing Xu Sheng's approach, the boy slowly stood up, turned around, and looked at him; his soulful eyes flickered a few times before he spoke, "Big brother..."

Before he could finish, Xu Sheng's cold ink-colored eyes narrowed, and without any hesitation, he reached out and crushed the boy's head...

With a loud "Bang!!", the figure suddenly burst into a cloud of Black Mist and dissipated...

Everything that appeared here was a mere illusion, so there was no emotional burden when taking action!

But just then, an anomaly occurred...

The voice of the little boy from before once again echoed throughout the Black Mist, filled with immense killing intent...

Subsequently, his blurry figure burst out of the Black Mist and with fierce killing intent, charged at Xu Sheng...

"You actually killed me... killed me... I want revenge!! I want revenge!!"

As Xu Sheng was preparing to use his Spiritual Power, his pupils suddenly constricted...

He exclaimed in his mind, "Hm? I can't use Spiritual Power??? And my body can't move either!!!"

Just like that, the blurred figure hit Xu Sheng directly, turning into Black Mist and merging into his body...

Xu Sheng felt an intense pain strike him, and with a "Pfft!" he spat out a mouthful of crimson blood...

He held his chest with one hand and coldly watched the surrounding Black Mist...

This illusion held some strangeness!
