Chapter 2091: Chapter 2092: This Is the Ambush You Set? (Part 2)
Back then, Xue An dominated the Multiverse, especially suppressing the Sword Cultivators with a single Red Lotus Sword Intent, making them afraid to raise their heads.
Qiu Yuye, of course, had also witnessed Xue An’s prowess and admired him greatly.
Thus, after receiving a small sword from Xue An, he immediately revealed his whereabouts and headed toward The Sword Palace Sector.
Now that he met Xue An halfway, Qiu Yuye naturally showed great respect.
Xue An couldn’t help but smile faintly, "Brother Yuye, you are too polite. I am already very grateful that you could come, there’s no need for so much courtesy."
Qiu Yuye sighed softly, "To think I, Qiu Yuye, was defeated by Jian San and became blind, a useless man. I never thought Lord Red Lotus would still remember me and personally send a summons. How could I not come? But I wonder why Lord Red Lotus is not in the Jian Sect to receive strong contenders from all sides but is here instead?"
Xue An smiled, "Li Jingxing is in charge of hosting in The Sword Palace Sector, so naturally, I need not worry. Moreover, I just received the news that there might be traces of an otherworldly creature appearing somewhere. This is no small matter, so I must see it personally."
"Oh? Traces of an otherworldly creature? Didn’t you say it would take a few more years for the seal to fail? How come there is now?"
"It probably didn’t come from that bronze door, but with the vastness of the Multiverse, it’s inevitable there are places with weak defenses. Therefore, I must be cautious. Now that Brother Yuye is here, why not come with me to investigate?" Xue An said with a smile.
Qiu Yuye was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, after all, I have nothing else to do now, so I will accompany Lord Red Lotus on this journey."
"Everything will be fine then!" Xue An beamed, "Let’s head off now!"
With that, Xue An turned and led the way ahead.
Qiu Yuye followed in silence.
Their speed was swift, crossing hundreds of millions of miles of the Starry Domain in just a moment.
Suddenly.
Xue An, who was leading the way up ahead, suddenly stopped.
Qiu Yuye also stopped and then calmly asked, "Have we arrived so soon?"
Xue An, without turning his head, softly said, "Yes, we have arrived. Ahead is the area where the evil creature is rampant."
"Then why are we stopping here?" Qiu Yuye asked.
Xue An glanced back at him, seeing Qiu Yuye’s calm expression, he couldn’t help but reveal a smile with a hint of an indescribable meaning.
"Because I suddenly feel that the evil creature ahead should be more suitable for you to handle. It will also be a good opportunity to probe its reality!"
With that, Xue An stepped aside to open a path.
Qiu Yuye said nothing but stepped forward. Yet, passing by Xue An, he suddenly said.
"Is this the trap you’ve set?"
As soon as he spoke, Xue An’s expression changed dramatically, but he quickly returned to normal, smiling as he said, "Brother Yuye, what are you talking about? I don’t quite understand!"
Qiu Yuye had a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. Although his gray-white eyes were dim, they still fixed on Xue An.
"I must say, your disguise is impeccable, even mimicking the unique power of Red Lotus Sword Intent perfectly. But do you know where your flaw is?"
The smile on Xue An’s face gradually disappeared as he looked at Qiu Yuye coldly, "Where?"
"It’s because you said that Jian Sect is hosted by Li Jingxing now."
"Just because of that one sentence?" Xue An was slightly taken aback.
Qiu Yuye nodded, "Exactly! Though separated by millions of miles, I can still sense the distinct aura of Li Jingxing in the Jian Sect. It’s very likely he has already gone into retreat and is slumbering! Given this, how could he still be hosting the Jian Sect?"
"Thus, your identity has been clearly revealed. Am I right? A creature from outside the realms?"
Facing Qiu Yuye’s questioning, this "Xue An" suddenly laughed coldly.
"As expected from a top-tier Sword Cultivator ranked only below Li Jingxing, you truly have some skills. But what puzzles me is, since you already know I’m a fake, why did you still come with me?"
Qiu Yuye stood firm like a sword and said calmly, "Because I wanted to know what trick you’re playing. Now it seems, it’s nothing significant!"
"Hahahaha, I just love you arrogant ants confined in your little puddles. Since you came with me, don’t plan on leaving today. Your body can be put to good use for me!"
As the words fell, this "Xue An"’s form suddenly began to change. The white robe on his body was torn apart by the swelling muscles, and then hideous bone spurs protruded through the skin, coming into view.
In the blink of an eye, a fierce and terrifying monster appeared in front of Qiu Yuye.
It grinned, corrosive slobber dripping down the corners of its mouth, and then laughed menacingly.
"Prepare to die!"
With that, it stepped forward.
This step seemed as if it would tear through the very void itself, yet Qiu Yuye stood unfazed. Before him, a gleam flashed, and a sword light shaped like an autumn leaf slashed directly forward.
Thud!
The sword light sliced off a large chunk of flesh from the monster’s body.
The monster let out a cry of pain and then charged forward even more furiously.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Qiu Yuye’s mouth, and then he swung his arms repeatedly, sending out sword lights that cut directly at the monster.
In just a blink, the monster’s body was slashed with numerous large wounds.
But just as Qiu Yuye was gaining the upper hand, the monster roared.
"Not moving yet?"
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding void suddenly transformed, and mist appeared instantly, trapping Qiu Yuye within.
Qiu Yuye’s body shook, but his reaction was swift. With a stomp, countless Sword Intents slashed out in all directions.
But soon, these Sword Intents all fell into emptiness.
And then came the sinister laughter of the monster from within the mist, "Qiu Yuye, it’s useless. You cannot escape this mist. Enjoy slowly the gift I’ve prepared for you, hahaha!"
The laughter faded, and suddenly Qiu Yuye found that he could see.
But just then, he realized the surrounding environment was changing rapidly.
The mist and void faded, replaced by a barren grassland.
In the knee-high grass, a person slowly walked toward him.
A woman with a red mark at the center of her brow.
"Jian San!" Qiu Yuye’s body shook.
But the woman opposite merely smiled upon hearing this, "I am still Jian Si now, but once I defeat you, I will be called Jian San!"
Qiu Yuye instantly understood this was the scene from the day of his battle with Jian San!
But how did he come here?
Is this an illusion?
Could there really be such a realistic illusion?
Qiu Yuye reached out, his hand gently caressing the grass blades, swaying in the breeze.
The fuzzy tickling sensation was so real that it made it hard for Qiu Yuye to distinguish between reality and illusion.
And just as he was dazed, Jian San said in a deep voice, "Qiu Yuye, draw your sword!"
