Chapter 195 - 195 Discussion on Niu Xianzu’s Illusionary Realm!
“We are pressed for time. Tell us just the critical points,” Wang Lu said with a frown.
The data analyst, who was speaking in a methodical and meticulous manner, went straight to the point and said, “The key to cracking this illusionary realm is to locate the main body of this Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon. And its main body is hidden in the purple eye on its forehead. In other words, as long as we locate the purple eye on its forehead, we can locate the main body.”
The power of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon was not necessarily the most powerful of the SS-class Fearsome Beasts, but it was one of the most terrifying.
The moment the illusionary realm opened up, it would hide its own main body. As long as the main body was not discovered, it could continuously leverage on the power of the illusionary realm to torture the opponent to death.
Wang Lu continued, “If we want to locate the main body of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon, we need a cultivator with extremely powerful mental power. But he must also be able to sense this huge illusionary realm carefully to locate the aura of the concealed Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon within this realm.”
When the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon released a massive illusionary realm, it would also fall into a half-slumber state. The exhalations it released during this time could then be sensed.
“However, to make it this far, that candidate must have the ability to resist very strong toxicity and the ability to enter and exit the illusionary realm at will.”
With that, Wang Lu’s gaze turned to Lu Yu, his eyes gradually brightening. The various battalion captains also gave Lu Yu the same look, as if they were looking at a rare treasure.
Wasn’t Lu Yu the perfect candidate?
Since he was able to get in and out of the illusionary realms and rescue them, it meant that he had an extremely strong resistance to the poison.
Seeing the crowd’s expectant gaze, Lu Yu pondered for a moment, and then nodded and said, “I can take on this task.”
“Hahaha… Then we’ll have to trouble Advisor Lu. If the plan succeeds, then you are a major contributor with a big part of the credit. I will report to the federal government and apply for a great military merit for you.” Wang Lu patted Lu Yu’s shoulder and laughed heartily.
Lu Yu said with a faint smile, “Then I will look forward to this day.”
The next thing was to discuss specific details. The moment Lu Yu found the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon, this SS-class Fearsome Beast would undoubtedly wake up. A big battle was unavoidable. In order to gather more combat power, he had to save as many powerful experts from the illusionary realms as possible.
In particular, that woman in white!
“That woman in white is a big shot from the capital. Whether it’s her strength or her identity, from either perspective it is necessary to rescue her as soon as possible. And she is stuck deep in the blood-sucking wasteland where the poisonous gas is at its densest and most lethal…” Wang Lu said in his analysis.
“I’ll do it!” Lu Yu offered to take up this task on his initiative.
“Good! Then I’ll wait for Advisor Lu’s good news. Godspeed and come back soon.” Wang Lu gave Lu Yu a standard military salute with an unusually grave look, “The rest of you go and rescue the others trapped in the illusionary realms. Try to gain more combat power.”
The Gamma Military Zone naturally had ways to enter and exit the illusionary realms. Although their method was not as easy and simple as Lu Yu’s, it was still better than sitting around waiting for death.
An hour later.
Lu Yu delved deeper into the blood-sucking wasteland. The poisonous gas here became denser, and practically no one came here. Lu Yu unleashed his mental power, trying to sense the so-called exhalation of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon while looking for the illusionary realm that trapped the woman in white.
After a long time, there was still no result yet, but he found another illusionary realm. It was the one that trapped Niu Xianzu.
After some thought, he dived straight in. The scene that was taking place in the illusionary realm made him feel very puzzled.
The nightmare that this guy Niu Xianzu was experiencing was actually related to him. The Lu Yu in the illusionary realm snatched everything from Niu Xianzu, took over his place and stomped on Niu Xianzu fiercely under his foot.
“Is that the image I have in his mind?” Lu Yu said in consternation.
At this point, Niu Xianzu was full of hostility towards the Lu Yu in his nightmare realm. His eyes were full of killing intent. Even when he was pinned down to the ground by Lu Yu’s foot, he was filled with animosity and kept hissing and howling constantly.
“On what basis? On what basis? All this should have been mine! What makes you think you can take over my place as a captain by simply parachuting down here out of nowhere!”
“Do you know how much I have sacrificed for the military zone all these years? How unfair! How utterly unfair!”
The Lu Yu in the illusionary realm showed him a middle finger and scoffed, “Hoho! Based on the fact that I’m stronger than you. It’s only right and proper that the strong eliminate the weak!”
Lu Yu, who was watching secretly, felt extremely awkward when he looked at the face that was exactly the same as his in the illusionary realm. His face immediately darkened.
“How are you stronger than me? I think you just have connections and you relied on your connections to replace me!” Suddenly, Niu Xianzu roared in anger and broke free from Lu Yu’s leg in the illusionary realm. He sprang up and charged forward like a ferocious tiger pouncing to kill.
The battle sword in his hand instantly swept out a ray of blazing sword light that illuminated the entire illusionary realm.
A great battle erupted!
Niu Xianzu and the Lu Yu in the illusionary realm engaged in a bloody battle and the former finally subdued the latter completely. “Hmph! So this is your strength? The legendary strength that was capable of slaying a War General? I think it’s just an undeserved reputation!”
Lu Yu’s face darkened to the extreme. It seemed that in the eyes of this petty guy, not only was Lu Yu an incredibly evil persona, his strength was also not comparable to Niu Xianzu’s.
“Die! Just die!” Niu Xianzu’s attack became more and more vehement. The sword energy struck again and again, drowning the Lu Yu in the illusionary realm in layers of its power.
The Lu Yu in the illusionary realm was struck by multiple slashes of the sword until he died in an extremely wretched manner.
“Hahaha… You are finally dead! You are finally dead!” Looking at the so-called corpse of Lu Yu on the ground, Niu Xianzu laughed maliciously, his eyes gradually going crazy.
Just then, the door was pushed open and the Generals of the three Military Units of the Gamma Military Zone, as well as the Military Lord Xu Qingguo and Qi Lei rushed in. They looked at Lu Yu’s corpse, their faces filled with outright fury.
Xu Qingguo shouted sternly, “Niu Xianzu, you killed the Advisor to our Gamma Military Zone. Your crime is unforgivable! You will be stripped of your captaincy and taken to the military court to be put on trial, followed by execution on a later date!”
Heavy chains were fastened on Niu Xianzu’s body. Niu Xianzu struggled desperately. His eyes were bloodshot, and he yelled in a mad rage, “I’m not guilty. I only killed the person who deserved to be killed. On what basis are you putting me on trial?”
“Still making excuses. I’ll kill you now!” Qi Lei shouted angrily. His aura of a War General was released, and he struck Niu Xianzu with a palm, causing him to be seriously injured.
“Hahaha… All you guys are taking his side. Why are you so unfair to me? I have given so much to the Gamma Military Zone, yet he was able to take my place so easily.”
“I refuse to accept this!”
Niu Xianzu jumped up in a mad rage. He decided to sacrifice his health vitality, igniting it in exchange for more strength to fight against Qi Lei.
However, a War General was still a War General, and this gap between realms was insurmountable. Qi Lei suppressed Niu Xianzu outright, but Niu Xianzu was completely out of his mind. He desperately burned his own health vitality like crazy, and made up for the discrepancy in strength by depleting himself.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yu shook his head. If he still did not take action, this guy would die in this illusionary realm by burning up his health vitality completely.
