Chapter 578 - 578: Kill Ye Fan in a Dream!
Prince Chris twitched the corner of his mouth, “Chief Mike, are you sure that formation from the Dark Alliance will work? According to the latest intelligence, Ye Fan’s strength has already reached the Martial Saint Realm! Tong Chang and those from the top ten Martial Emperor experts teamed up and set traps, but they couldn’t handle him. Normal methods, I figure, will hardly be effective against Ye Fan!”
Prince Chris was quite cunning, although he himself had also secretly prepared some measures.
Yet, he wanted to use others to eliminate his target, employing both the Dark Alliance and the members of the Europa Martial Arts Guild to strike at Ye Fan, hoping to reap the rewards himself.
Everyone aimed at the Ye family, at Ye Fan, and though outwardly all seemed harmonious, in reality, they were all after the Immortal Palace Map Fragment of the Ye family.
Chris was very aware of Ye Fan’s formidable strength; he definitely wasn’t easy to deal with.
“Hehe! Your Highness, you underestimate the power of the Dark Alliance! I’ve been advising you to join the Dark Alliance, and you have always been hesitant. This time, let me show you the true power of the Dark Alliance…”
As Chief Mike spoke, an aura emerged in front of him, and the next moment, an illusionary scene appeared before Mike.
The overall appearance of the scene was almost an exact replica of the deserted island used for the military martial drills.
However, in this transformed scene, there appeared countless fierce beasts and an all-consuming black fog, vortex clouds, and the like.
“Using normal methods to deal with Ye Fan is indeed very difficult! Therefore, my real plan this time is to kill Ye Fan in a dream!”
As Mike’s fingers fluttered, the terrain, the fierce beasts, and the life-devouring black clouds in the illusion rapidly churned and rearranged.
“In this dream, I am God! I can change the rules of the world, use those black clouds to magnify the darkest recesses of a person’s heart to the extreme… The key is, once Ye Fan enters the dream, his own strength will be significantly reduced, and he will be heavily suppressed to the Martial Emperor Level…”
“Moreover, if the first layer of the dream doesn’t sufficiently suppress him! We can continue to press Ye Fan down into the second layer of the dream, causing his strength to fall yet another level!”
Listening to Mike’s explanation, Chris’s pupils dilated, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.
Could the Dark Alliance have such terrifying means?
To kill someone within a dream?
If Chief Mike were to infiltrate his own dreams, wouldn’t he also be killed silently?
This was too frightening!
“Chief Mike! To kill in this dream, does one have to wait for the person to fall asleep?” Chris tactfully kept a note of caution.
If Mike’s methods were that terrifying, then he needed to be wary.
Upon returning to Bridian, he must understand the mechanisms of this dream assassination and enhance his guards.
“In principle, that’s the case! The host must enter a dream, and then our Dream Builder can infiltrate the host’s dream!” Mike flashed a wicked smile, “But if it’s like that, it would require too much preparation, and right now, during the military drills, that’s clearly impossible!”
“So, I set up that formation! As long as Ye Fan saves those marked individuals from Great Xia, or kills the people we’ve sent out, their aura entering Ye Fan’s body will activate the formation, creating the conditions necessary for entering the dream… The most crucial step afterwards is the Dream Induction, guiding Ye Fan into this half-real, half-illusory dream…”
“And the Dream Inducer I have chosen is Yu Linglong! As Ye Fan’s wife, if Yu Linglong faces any danger, Ye Fan will definitely come to her rescue at all costs! I have already tampered with Yu Linglong, and as soon as Ye Fan arrives, he will definitely activate the Dream Inducer, thus falling into the Dream Abyss…”
Mike, somewhat proud, outlined his operation plan, but he did not mention the inherent danger of this plan!
Because when Mike was building the dream, he used the blood energy of ninety-nine Dark Alliance Dead Soldiers as a traction and forcibly built the dream, with Yu Linglong serving as the Dream Inducer.
Yu Linglong was especially important and crucial!
If there were any issues with the blood energy traction, or if Yu Linglong’s own will was too strong, then Mike would suffer a severe backlash… At best, he would fall forever into the Dream Abyss, never to awake; at worst, he would die outright…
Furthermore, another core issue was that by building dreams in this way, Chief Mike was actually entering his own dream! Mike was the Dream Master… If Mike’s spiritual power was strong enough, that was fine, as he could fully withstand the overflow of energy from the entire dream.
But if the content in the dream was so rich that it severely exceeded Mike’s mental capacity, then the entire dream would collapse.
It was like a computer; if the memory and graphics card levels were not sufficient, forcibly running a larger game would cause lagging or a system crash!
“Is that so?” Hearing Mike’s detailed presentation, Chris felt a bit more relieved. It turned out that such a dream killing was not always possible to create successfully—the conditions were still quite restrictive. Well, that was somewhat relieving.
However, such a miraculous method of killing did give Chris a bit more confidence.
No matter how formidable Ye Fan was in real life, in the dream world, with Mike as the central Dream Builder, he was in effect the God of the entire dream, and the probability of killing Ye Fan should significantly increase!
…
Above the Deserted Island, as Ye Fan and Yan Kuan moved toward the northwest, they easily rescued the Great Xia elites and killed those foreign assassins according to the marks on the Puppet Zombies they had made earlier.
In just a few dozen minutes, Ye Fan had already garnered more than thirty points, while those foreign assassins had suffered sixty to seventy deaths!
The Great Xia elites saved by Ye Fan all gathered around him, already forming a very powerful force.
Among them, some of the Great Xia elites were already Top Ten Martial Emperor Experts, and most of them were Martial Venerables and Grandmaster Level in strength.
However, after Ye Fan cleared the Dark Marks in their bodies, he always felt something was wrong.
Ye Fan had the Flame of Inheritance within him!
The Flame of Inheritance could burn everything, but after Ye Fan burned those Dark Marks, he always felt like something was left in his own body.
Yet, despite Ye Fan releasing his Martial Saint Realm Perception to feel around, he could detect no abnormalities, but he still felt something was amiss.
Moreover, that golden thread inside Ye Fan’s body also began to stir, rolling over within his body.
Did Europa and the Dark Alliance have some other strategies unknown to him?
Ye Fan had obtained the Power of the Five Elements and the Water Control Technique among other techniques from the Immortal Domain—did the Europa side also have individuals who received top-grade techniques from powerful beings of the Immortal Domain?
Ye Fan’s expression grew solemn as he continued to move northwest, secretly releasing the golden thread within his body, also making some marks in certain places!
Those golden threads, obtained on the Immortal Path Guide… should be connected to techniques of the Immortal Domain and might save his life at a critical moment…
