Chapter 1085: True and False Mirror Images (Please Subscribe)_1
This illusionary realm could actually use the scene from just a moment ago to directly attack one's physical body!
And the damage it caused was extremely powerful, even capable of ignoring defenses and restraining one's Spiritual Power!
Completely turning oneself into a living target!
Immediately, thoughts raced through his mind, "This illusionary realm is far more powerful than I imagined, and I have no idea how Zhou Qingruo and Duanmu Lian are faring!"
Although he had learned of this illusionary realm through Divine Power, he still had no idea how to break it, leaving him in a state of passivity now!
Just then, the pitch-black expanse in front of him once again flashed with a blinding light, and that was a shapeless, blurry creature!
The next moment, an icy voice suddenly rang out, "Foolish humans, you cannot break the illusionary realm, forever lost within it!"
As the words fell, the blurry creature instantly took shape, transforming into a terrifying Strange Beast!
Its blood-red eyes fixed on Xu Sheng, its massive mouth agape, revealing sharp and vicious fangs as if it could shred anything to pieces…
"Roar!!"
Following an earth-shaking roar, it lunged straight toward Xu Sheng…
Attempting to dodge, Xu Sheng tried to move his body once more, but again, he failed, as if something massive was pressing down on him!
With a clenched fist, he thought, "Damn it! Still can't move and use Spiritual Power?"
Under these circumstances, he stood no chance to resist within the virtual realm!
Undoubtedly, the Strange Beast struck Xu Sheng's body once more, turning into a vast expanse of Black Mist before merging into his body…
The agonizing pain that felt like his body tearing apart kept spreading from his chest, making him clutch his palms tightly…
...
Upon regaining consciousness, Zhou Qingruo, with her amber-colored eyes, looked around at the expanse of broad daylight and couldn't help but frown, "Hmm? Where is this? Nothing but daylight, and I can't see anything clearly!"
The blinding daylight not only hindered her sight but also stirred a strong sense of palpitation deep in her heart...
Suddenly, an extremely familiar voice of Duanmu Lian came through...
"Qingruo, Qingruo, can you hear me speak?"
After hearing this, Zhou Qingruo quietly narrowed her Beautiful Eyes without responding right away...
Although she had entered the illusionary realm with Duanmu Lian, how could she have encountered Duanmu Lian within a few seconds, how could it be such a coincidence?
Immediately after, the surroundings plunged back into silence...
This scene made Zhou Qingruo take a deep breath to herself...
That Duanmu Lian just now was probably not the person herself, but an Illusion Image created by the illusionary realm, potentially dangerous!
However, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder, and Duanmu Lian, who appeared behind her out of thin air, pouted discontentedly, "Qingruo, I finally found you! Why didn't you respond to me just now?"
Zhou Qingruo's pupils suddenly contracted...
When exactly had Duanmu Lian gotten close to her, she felt no trace of Spiritual Power emanating from her!
Which meant, the "Duanmu Lian" behind her might very well be an Illusion Image!
But Zhou Qingruo, not understanding its intentions, didn't act immediately but wanted to see what this "Duanmu Lian" was planning to do!
With that thought, she said indifferently to Duanmu Lian behind her, "I just responded to you, but perhaps my voice was too soft!"
A few traces of red light that weren't human flickered in Duanmu Lian's Beautiful Eyes, and she laughed lightly, "So that's what it was. Well then, Qingruo, I've actually found a way to leave this illusionary realm, it's not far ahead!"
Zhou Qingruo said, without a change in her tone, "Take me there!"
Duanmu Lian's face showed a hint of grievance as she said, "But... Qingruo, I... I'm scared! There's something odd about the space ahead!"
If Zhou Qingruo was previously unsure whether Duanmu Lian was an Illusion Image, now she was a hundred percent certain!
If her judgment was wrong, she would have wasted all this time befriending the latter!
Zhou Qingruo glanced at her coldly and said, "Fine, then you just follow behind me and guide the way!"
Having said this, she turned her head back around...
And "Duanmu Lian" beside her, upon hearing this, couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her thin lips, her tone carrying a chill, "Qingruo, the exit is right in front of us, just keep walking straight ahead!"
Then, the two of them proceeded one after the other towards the front...
After walking for a few minutes, "Duanmu Lian," following behind Zhou Qingruo, seemed to be sure that the former had completely trusted her...
She no longer disguised her appearance and transformed into a monstrous Strange Beast, especially those claws that flickered with a cold glint were terrifying!
The next moment, she stretched out those claws toward Zhou Qingruo's head in front of her...
Just when they were about to make contact, Zhou Qingruo suddenly crouched down, not forgetting to gather Spiritual Power in her hands to form her Personal Sword...
The sharp sword light instantly penetrated the Strange Beast's body, piercing it through...
Accompanied by a "crack!" the Beast's body was torn in half and immediately turned into a cloud of Black Mist that vanished without a trace...
After Zhou Qingruo stood up, her cautious gaze swept around and she said coldly, "As expected, it was an Illusion Image!"
That meant Xu Sheng and the others would surely encounter the same situation in the virtual realm, but it should be no big issue for them...
However, the voice of Duanmu Lian rang out again, "Hehehe! Qingruo, can you truly bring yourself to harm me, your dear friend? You really are heartless!"
Different from before, Zhou Qingruo's body was now bound, rendered unable to move or use her Spiritual Power!
Her heart screamed, "Damn it!! I can't move! I can't even use Spiritual Power!"
...
As for Duanmu Lian, she encountered the same situation as Zhou Qingruo and Xu Sheng!
Of course, the Illusion Image had taken the form of Zhou Qingruo!
Duanmu Lian turned her head with a smile, asking, "Qingruo, after we leave this place, will you come back with me to the Duanmu Clan? The Family Head and the others will surely not refuse!"
This innocent expression would make anyone believe it was a simple question!
The "Zhou Qingruo" upon hearing this, narrowed her Beautiful Eyes and nodded, "Sure! After leaving this virtual realm, I will return with you to the Duanmu Clan!"
The moment she agreed, Duanmu Lian's cheeks suddenly turned frosty as she said in a cold tone, "Tell me, who are you really? Why are you pretending to be Qingruo?"
Whenever she had asked this question to Zhou Qingruo over the years, the response had always been a rejection!
This time, however, the agreement was immediate and without hesitation!
While the two confronted each other, Xu Sheng's voice sounded again. He looked astonished as he said, "Qingruo? And Miss Lian? You two were here?"
The sudden appearance of Xu Sheng made Duanmu Lian frown, as she began to doubt her previous judgment...
"Hmm? Xu Sheng has appeared too, so does this mean... she is the real Qingruo?"
...
