Chapter 487: Chapter 83: The Old Wall Lamp (Additional Update)
“Isn’t the use of Thunder thod prohibited?” Xie Ruoxi exclaid in shock.
“Quickly use the Big Hole Thunder on it!” Yan Yu had no ti to waste explaining, shouting fiercely.
Xie Ruoxi had no choice but to hold her breath and concentrate, forming the Big Hole Thunder Light in her hand, shouting as she threw it towards the direction of the Heart Demon.
Her aim was still poor, the trajectory of the Thunder thod flying off course, but fortunately, at that mont the Heart Demon was swollen with absorbed emotions, as large as a giant elephant, so it didn’t really require careful aiming.
With a sound like a firecracker exploding, the spot where the Big Hole Thunder struck suddenly cleared of all the black smoke, creating a hollow as if carved out from a huge black bean paste bun.
The Heart Demon imdiately let out a miserable wail, its shrill screams shaking the entire Great Hero Treasure Hall.
...
From the mont it broke free until now, the attacks from Yan Yu, Zhang Huaide, Hou Qing, Lin Ning, Su Yunjin… all combined, did less damage to it than that single Thunder thod from Xie Ruoxi.
But it quickly cast a magic spell, its body made of black smoke violently swirling to fill the hole made by the Thunder thod, though its body beca slightly smaller.
It then turned around and pounced towards Xie Ruoxi, deploying its Illusion Technique in full force, rapidly probing deep into Xie Ruoxi’s mind.
This young lady’s Dao Heart flaw was… fear!
Just like Lin Ning’s unchangeable trait of being overly sensitive, Zhao Yuanzhen’s excessive possessiveness, Su Yunjin’s irresistible attraction to sweet love, Xie Ruoxi also had a very obvious weakness—she was too timid and fragile, making her an easy target for the Heart Demon.
Driven by innate magic, endless fears began surfacing in Xie Ruoxi’s mind, and with it, nurous illusions appeared before her, as if she was back in the Secret Realm of Li Palace, surrounded by a murderous army, completely encircled with no way out.
However, this ti there was no Yan Yu to save her.
An overwhelming array of attacks ca at her, and Xie Ruoxi felt her limbs go cold and numb, her mind went blank, uncontrollable fear welling up from the depths of her heart, which was then imdiately drawn out by the Heart Demon, significantly increasing its magic power, causing its body to swell once again.
Seeing this, Yan Yu was left speechless, thinking to himself that his comrades were simply not up to par ntally, wondering if it might be best to retreat this ti… Just then, Xie Ruoxi, caught in the midst of the terrifying illusions, suddenly let out a hysterical scream, conjuring thunder orbs with both hands, blindly and indiscriminately throwing them forward, firing one after another as if True Yuan cost her nothing.
Thunder thod in Gatling unlimited firing mode!
Even Yan Yu, striving to suppress his emotions, was nearly scared out of his wits, quickly deploying the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step and Dual Sword Control Technique with all his might, frantically dashing around to manage the crisis—this crazily beautiful waste was casting spells without any accuracy, completely disregarding whether she would hit her teammates, forcing Yan Yu to quickly intercept with his Flying Sword.
It’s done for, can’t intercept!
The force of the Thunder thod was simply too strong, and the Huang Tingjian was knocked flying from one end of the Great Hero Treasure Hall to the other with just one block, making interception impossible.
Yan Yu swiftly abandoned the interception plan, deployed the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step, and flashed behind Xie Ruoxi, grabbing her tightly.
Thunder God pilot, online!
He grabbed Xie Ruoxi’s uncontrollable arms with both hands, aiming dead center at the Heart Demon in the hall, like a machine gunner bracing against the recoil.
Fire!
Four or five Big Hole Thunders, with Yan Yu’s guided aiming, hit the demon accurately, completely shattering its massive body. Then, six or seven more Thunder thods struck the back wall of the hall, blasting a huge hole into it.
Xie Ruoxi finally stopped, panting heavily.
Out of True Yuan.
Uh?
Why is the team leader hugging from behind?
Before she could even blush and say sothing, Yan Yu quickly pushed her away.
He looked toward the area where the demon had been struck down and saw nothing, realizing his judgnt was wrong.
The opponent was not the Mysterious Realm Gatekeeper.
So… where is the Gatekeeper?
With the demon’s illusion technique no longer disrupting them, the girls finally cald down, looked at Yan Yu and Xie Ruoxi, and then turned their attention to the large hole behind the hall.
Suddenly, they heard a faint sigh that seed to co from the hole, yet also seed to echo next to their ears:
“Like mist and like lightning, like dreams and like illusions. Love, hate, anger, ignorance—all the sufferings of the human world originate from these.”
A monk in a kasaya erged from the hole, his skin fair and his features square, but his eyes were narrow and sly, resembling a fox, not seeming benevolent.
There were no cultivators in the Mysterious Realm, so this monk was most likely an “Incarnate of Intent,” similar to that Chen Mingyan and Chen Dandan, representing a thought or a mory left by a powerful being.
However, the leader of the Subjugation of Demons Zen wasn’t soone easy to speak with…
“May I ask the venerable one’s na?” Yan Yu asked, his expression growing solemn.
The monk raised his right hand, making a gesture of holding a flower, and said with a smile:
“This poor monk’s dharma na is ‘Miaogao Lamp.'”
“So it is Venerable Miaogao Lamp.” Yan Yu’s mind grew heavy as he bowed with his hands clasped and said, “I am Yan Yu, and I wish to learn from your esteed self alone.”
He then transmitted a ssage to the girls:
“You go ahead, I’ll handle him.”
“I’m not leaving!” Before the others could speak, Lin Ning was the first to refuse, “Didn’t you say earlier that you needed to rest? How much True Yuan do you still have? Can you withstand it?”
“I’m not joking with you,” Yan Yu said, frustrated, “Venerable Miaogao Lamp is one of the Five Hundred Demon Arhats of Subjugation of Demons Zen. Even though he’s rely an incarnated thought, he’s not soone you can deal with now!”
“The guest is indeed courageous.” Lin Ning hadn’t had the chance to ask further when she heard the Venerable Miaogao Lamp in front of them chuckle, “But they can’t leave.”
“Why?” Yan Yu frowned.
“Because they already have deep-rooted demon seeds,” Venerable Miaogao Lamp said with a light smile. “Just now, my nurtured illusion demon managed to make them lose their minds and shake their Dao foundation. If they are let out, and other demons occupy their consciousness outside, I’m afraid they will harm humanity and bring disaster to the world, which I would rather avoid.”
After saying this, he took out a glazed lamp, smiling and said:
“How about all of you noble ladies enter this Miaogao Lamp of mine, be refined for a cycle, then shed the demon roots, transform into lamp oil, and enjoy endless bright joy? Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
All the girls changed their expressions, thinking to themselves about what “shedding the demon roots” ant—they would essentially be killed.
Yan Yu sighed deeply to himself and silently transmitted a ssage to Chen Lingyun:
“Can you contact the Huofeng Team outside?”
“Yes.” Chen Lingyun’s mind stirred, and she asked, “Do you need reinforcents?”
“Tell them to leave as soon as possible,” Yan Yu said.
“Without the nerve center of the Mysterious Realm, they can’t leave, can they?” Chen Lingyun reminded him.
“Try to get as far away as possible,” Yan Yu corrected.
“How tough is this Venerable Miaogao Lamp to deal with?” Chen Lingyun asked, furrowing her brow.
“Just as he has stated,” Yan Yu calmly replied.
“With your current strength, to face him alone would qualify you as potential lamp oil.”
