Chapter 475: Chapter 283: Lin Loulan’s Backup Plan

"Enough. It’s time to end this."

Su Xing said softly.

He hadn’t broken out of the illusion yet, not because he was incapable, but because he wanted to see how it would unfold. It was only when he saw a vision of his former self that he decided to leave.

For the current Su Xing, breaking such an illusion was far too easy. However, just as he was about to do so, the scene before him flickered. The Sword Hall backdrop suddenly vanished, replaced by a field of darkness.

Within this darkness, a figure suddenly ran past his eyes. Although Su Xing knew this was an illusion created by his enemy, he followed without hesitation, curious about who the fleeing person was.

...

In reality, however, Su Xing was charging directly toward a nearby wall. The wall was solid, but before Su Xing’s powerful body, it was like paper. Yet, behind that wall was a churning pool of magma.

The magma deep underground reached temperatures of over a thousand degrees. No matter what kind of Extraordinary Being you were, even the slightest physical contact would mean complete disintegration.

As for his enemies? Since they had devised such a plan, they naturally had ways to protect themselves. At some point, they had already retreated to the vicinity of the elevator, looking ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

Therefore, the men simply smirked, planning to watch Su Xing die a horrible death in the scalding magma.

This was the power of a Sequence. As long as the effect was used properly and the opponent was caught off guard, even the strongest foe could be played like a fiddle by a Sequencer.

But the smirk didn’t last long on their faces. As Su Xing reached the wall, he didn’t crash into it. Instead, he planted his right hand against it and came to a dead stop.

"Did he wake up?!"

Wang Yifei was the first to cry out in alarm. If Su Xing had woken up, it was no longer a question of whether they could laugh, but whether they could even leave this place alive.

"Relax, he didn’t."

Yin Shifeng said in a low voice. Though Su Xing hadn’t awakened, Yin Shifeng’s expression was even grimmer than if he had. He had just realized the extent of Su Xing’s unparalleled perception.

’This guy...’

’Is he really this sensitive to danger?’

Yin Shifeng stared angrily at Su Xing, who remained braced against the wall. His expression flickered between anger and disbelief. He never expected Su Xing’s perception to be so sharp, which meant it would be extremely difficult to trap him here.

Yin Shifeng couldn’t bring himself to accept this conclusion. He frantically poured his Sequence energy into the illusion, but Su Xing was like a rock, standing there, unmoving and unresponsive.

"..."

Yin Shifeng was dumbfounded. Just as he was at a loss for what to do next, a man’s calm, deep voice suddenly spoke up from nearby.

"Let me handle this."

The voice was steady and deep, and it came from right behind him. Realizing this, Yin Shifeng turned and immediately saw the speaker’s tall, slender figure.

In his hand, he held a long halberd. His features were ordinary, but he was shrouded in an indescribable aura. This set him apart from the members of the Sea Fish Organization. Like the one who had died earlier, this man was from Jile Valley, and his status was higher than theirs.

"Mm."

Yin Shifeng lowered his head and muttered his assent, but a look of resentment crossed his face. He was frustrated. Su Xing was standing right in front of him, yet he was completely unable to harm him in the slightest.

’What a pity...’

He sighed internally. Deep down, he knew that if they wanted to kill Su Xing, Fang Lingbu was probably the only one here who had a chance.

’The people from Jile Valley...’

’Why are they all so powerful?’

Wang Yifei muttered to himself as he watched the man’s back, slowly walking forward. Jile Valley had sent quite a few people to Cang City this time. Although he hadn’t met all of them, he’d encountered enough to know that every single one was an absolute powerhouse at their level.

They could easily be called super-geniuses. It was strange that so many of them were gathered in a single faction that, while not entirely unknown, was certainly not famous.

As for whether Fang Lingbu could kill Su Xing, Wang Yifei didn’t even entertain such an absurd question. With Fang Lingbu’s strength, combined with Yin Shifeng’s illusory Sequence, failing to kill someone was practically impossible.

How could an immobilized enemy defend against an incoming weapon? How could he possibly defeat an attacker?

...

However, as Fang Lingbu stalked toward Su Xing, wielding the halberd that was as tall as a man, he abruptly stopped halfway.

At that very moment, he was struck by a sudden, inexplicable palpitation—a feeling that was more akin to fear, as if something utterly terrifying was about to happen.

’Not good!’

Fang Lingbu immediately realized that Su Xing was about to wake up. He quickened his pace, transforming into a streak of light as he shot toward Su Xing, attempting to take his head before he could fully awaken.
