Chapter 97: Abyss Pass, Illusory Space 2
At this moment, inside the Illusory Space, there was nothingness. A faint red mist floated in the air,
quiet on the surface, yet hiding a trace of eerie strangeness.
"You can't escape. Die!"
A sharp shout rang out as purple sword energy condensed into the shape of a dragon's head.
It was Wan Yuhe's Purple Dragon Soul-Severing Slash. With the emperor-grade weapon she had borrowed, its power had become overwhelmingly terrifying.
"Hehe, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"
"Once you enter this Illusory Space, don't even think about getting out, hahaha! Ugh—"
The purple dragon head flashed with cold, merciless eyes and swallowed the Flame Demon in one bite.
The latter instantly vanished from where it stood, disappearing without a trace.
"Hmph! Empty threats. Just a mere evil demon. This young lady can kill it with a single strike!"
"The Flame Demon Heart is in hand. The mission is finally complete. Zhou Han, you dared to look down on me—one day, I'll press you beneath me."
A proud and arrogant smile flickered across Wan Yuhe's face, filled with satisfaction.
Originally, she had been killing the Flame Demon in the ruins of the Demon Palace, but it used a flame escape technique,
fleeing directly into the Illusory Space, which led to everything that followed.
"Time to leave now. Hehe, Zhou Han will definitely look at me in a new light!"
Wan Yuhe stepped forward with her long legs in a light and cheerful stride, preparing to leave.
At that moment, a pink aura emitted a subtle fluctuation and struck her directly.
Wan Yuhe's expression changed. An inexplicable heat surged through her body, and her consciousness began to struggle.
"This… what kind of place is this?!"
A trace of panic flashed in her hazy eyes.
She hadn't expected to be caught off guard and fall into a trap.
When she tried to retaliate, she found herself powerless—she couldn't even mobilize the energy within her body.
What terrified her even more was that her heart was filled with desire, and she couldn't help but want to tear off her clothes.
From within the red mist, an ugly man walked out, a lewd smile plastered across his face.
"What a once-in-a-million beauty! My luck today is really good!"
"Y-you stay back! I warn you—I am the Sword Emperor's daughter. Don't court death!"
Wan Yuhe was in complete panic and immediately shouted out her identity.
"Tsk tsk tsk! The Sword Emperor's daughter, huh? That's truly noble!"
"The more you say that, the more interested I become. Just thinking about it is exciting!"
The ugly man stuck out his crimson tongue and licked his lips, his eyes filled with a playful, perverse grin.
Wan Yuhe's heart sank to the bottom. The other party clearly had no fear of her identity.
Thinking of this, bitterness surged within her—she hadn't expected that doing a simple mission would lead to something like this.
Was she really going to be violated today?
If that were the case, it would be better to let Zhou Han take advantage of her instead.
At least Zhou Han, though bad, was handsome and elegant.
At the thought of this, the heat within her body grew even stronger.
"Hu hu hu…"
A violent wind suddenly blew through.
"Hm? Someone else has arrived?"
The ugly man frowned upon hearing the disturbance.
"Beauty, I'll be right back. I won't keep you waiting long!"
He smiled faintly and left.
Within his domain, he wasn't worried that Wan Yuhe could escape.
The moment Zhou Han entered the Illusory Space, his powerful perception immediately sensed something was wrong.
The place was filled with a strange aura capable of affecting both the mind and the soul.
"It seems Wan Yuhe didn't just get lost—she must have encountered danger!"
His thoughts raced, and Zhou Han quickly reached a conclusion. Just as he was about to head toward her direction—
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
…
The red mist filling the air suddenly transformed into countless sharp arrows,
shooting toward him at incredible speed.
There were too many, and they were too fast—even Zhou Han couldn't react in time.
He simply hadn't expected that the red mist in this area was under the opponent's control.
But he didn't panic and directly activated [Cangchen Tyrant Blood].
-105
-129
-93
With 90% damage reduction, the damage he took was practically negligible.
However, Zhou Han quickly noticed that the arrows striking his body reverted back into red mist,
desperately trying to burrow into his mind.
"So it's a mental or soul-type attack. But this intensity is far too weak!"
If Zhou Han hadn't cultivated his soul, he might have suffered greatly today.
But not only had he practiced [Soul Control Technique], he had also cultivated [Unyielding Battle Soul] and consumed the [Heavenly Essence Pill].
His soul's strength and resilience were not something that could be easily shaken.
"Battle Soul Possession! Unyielding will—shatter!"
A resilient will surged from the depths of his soul, completely crushing the red mist around his body.
"Mmgh!"
A muffled groan came from deep within the red mist—the opponent had suffered backlash damage.
As for how much health was lost, Zhou Han didn't know, since he still hadn't found the opponent's exact location.
The opponent's body didn't seem to have a fixed form, constantly shifting and moving within the red mist.
"A bit troublesome. I didn't expect his soul to be this strong!"
"And I was actually injured by my own move? How strange!"
The ugly man hid within the red mist, his expression uncertain.
For the moment, he was wary and didn't dare to attack recklessly, instead thinking of a strategy.
"Heh! Hiding your head and showing your tail—just this little trick, and you dare to ambush me?"
"Shatter the illusory confusion of space! Endless Wind Domain!"
Zhou Han naturally wouldn't give him another chance to attack and immediately launched a counteroffensive.
With Zhou Han's will, fierce winds erupted, tearing apart all the red mist,
and the entire world suddenly became clear.
With the red mist gone, the opponent had nowhere to hide.
Using [Qi Sense] to lock onto the position, Zhou Han sent wind blades slicing forward with unstoppable force.
"Hehehe… do you really think you can hurt me?"
The ugly man sneered. Even without the cover of the red mist, he showed no fear.
Sure enough, when the powerful wind blades struck his body, they passed through like air,
causing no damage at all—as if his body didn't truly exist.
Seeing this, his smile became even more unrestrained.
Zhou Han frowned. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
He immediately used an appraisal skill, and the opponent's attributes became clear.
"So that's how it is! Now I understand!"
"Let's see how you keep acting arrogant now!"
After reading the information, a cold smile appeared in Zhou Han's eyes.
