Chapter 283 The Deceiver
"Xiaozi——!!"
Captured by Jiang Yuan, Zhao Erye, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth, his eyes bulging as if they could spew flames.
Jiang Yuan glanced at him casually.
Eyes of Fear
Master Zhao's eyes went blank for a moment, and the momentum that was about to surge up suddenly weakened, with extreme fear replacing the anger on his face.
Bang bang bang!
One after another, Grandmaster-level combatants fell from the sky like meteors, crashing heavily to the ground, their bodies bent and prostrate, unable to lift their heads.
"Cough cough."
Those with weaker abilities, such as Feng and Hei Bao, coughed up blood and became weak and listless.
Talent, martial arts skills, breathing techniques, and visualization methods were all forcibly suppressed.
The entire Zhao family ancestral home was shrouded in an indescribable pressure, with countless dotted lines and countless strands of exploding red lightning appearing in the air in a distorted manner.
The space itself seemed to be distorted by that killing intent and oppressive force, revealing its original form.
What was revealed were the entrances to several secret realms that the Zhao family had hidden very deeply in various places!
Amidst the horrified, horrified, fearful, and incredulous gazes of countless people.
The black-clad youth, exuding an invincible and domineering aura, narrowed his eyes and glanced around.
There were as many as 12 auras hidden in the shadows.
Quite a few people came to watch the spectacle.
Yeah.
Originally, this trip to the Zhao family was not only for settling accounts, but also to make an example of someone to establish authority and reputation.
after all.
With his current strength, he no longer needs to play dumb to deceive others; he is capable of sweeping away all opposition.
Jiang Yuan wanted to make it clear to the entire capital.
Who dares to plot against me!
Who dares to mess with me?
You cannot afford the consequences!
Just as he expected.
The Grandmasters and Quasi-Kings hidden in the shadows at this moment include members from other powerful families in the Imperial Capital, as well as emerging forces and members of the top Hunter Guild.
In terms of strength and background, they are just a small group among the upper echelons of the Great Xia Dynasty.
These people were also extremely shocked at this moment.
"That boy, is he from Nanjiang City...?"
"Wasn't he supposed to be only equivalent to a seventh-tier combatant? How could he be this strong?!" The one who said this was a veteran ninth-tier assassin with an impressive record, who had once ambushed and killed a quasi-king, but at this moment he felt fear from the oppressive aura emanating from the black-clad youth.
"incredible……"
"Quickly, tell the guild members to stop the previous plan. He... he's not someone our guild can win over!"
……
Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the Grandmasters and Quasi-Kings hidden in the shadows, but instead looked down and smiled:
"So the Zhao family of the capital is nothing special after all?"
He casually tossed the lifeless Zhao Erye out of his hand.
Zhao Lingcheng quickly reached out and caught it.
Although Zhao Erye was not physically injured, he was trapped in a mental illusion, as if he had seen the most terrifying things, his face full of fear and struggle.
Zhao Tiansong, the head of the Zhao family, glanced at it and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He was about to speak.
Jiang Yuan glanced down.
"Oh? There are two old guys at the quasi-king level hiding here."
A glint flashed in his eyes.
The spiritual energy transformed into two solid spikes, directly shattering the cracked Zhao family barrier and piercing into the entrances to the two secret realms.
A blatant provocation.
next second.
"How dare you!"
"presumptuous!"
Two aged and furious voices came from deep within the Zhao family's ancestral home, originating from a secret realm.
"snort."
Jiang Yuan snorted coldly, and a golden light bloomed between his brows.
"when!"
A gray halo appeared behind his head, emitting a rich gray light that made the boy appear even more sinister.
[Evil Aura]
Since the Zhao family has been chosen as the target for establishing authority.
Then Jiang Yuan wouldn't hold back.
Two immense auras, surpassing even those of a ninth-tier Grandmaster, materialized and surged forth from the entrance of the secret realm!
It collided heavily with the martial arts pressure unleashed by Jiang Yuan!
"boom!!"
For an instant.
The earth shook violently, the air hissed, and countless black and red bolts of lightning exploded, lashing out in all directions.
The barrier was almost shattered by the collision of these two opposing forces of pressure.
"Bang!"
Everyone on the ground who had just recovered from the dissipating oppressive force was suddenly pressed down again, pinned to the ground, their bodies and bones seemingly about to shatter!
More than 90% of people experience bleeding from the corners of their mouths.
Zhao Qianqi, the most anticipated and proud prodigy in the Zhao family, tried to use the effects of his equipment to resist, but it only lasted for a second before he was met with an even stronger counterattack.
He felt like all the bones in his body were about to shatter, his face was deeply embedded in the floor tiles, and he was in a terrible state.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
But at this moment, no one can control him.
They can't even protect themselves.
Zhao Xinran had already fainted, her body covered by a lotus leaf-shaped protective gear, and she was not harmed further.
"Whoosh!!"
A staff-shaped weapon burst forth from the secret realm, transforming into a streak of silver light. It instantly arrived beside Jiang Yuan, its head suddenly opening wide to reveal a black vortex within, resembling a man-eating flower that devours mosquitoes, with an indescribable suction force emanating from within.
Zhao Meilan recognized the weapon.
One of the Zhao family's treasures, the relic - [Soul-Devouring Flower], not only can unleash terrifying power, but it can also devour attacks and absorb energy to nourish itself.
Especially its skills; once locked on, it cannot escape!
The boy seemed to sense the danger and was about to dodge when...
He suddenly stopped moving, stared intently, and saw countless tiny pink dots of light appearing around his body.
"I noticed that, huh?" the beautiful woman's voice rang out.
Zhao Meilan covered the lower half of her face with her fan and spoke in a triumphant and charming voice, "【Paralyzing Pollen】, one of my skills. As long as someone touches my seeds, they will be paralyzed without realizing it, their whole body will stiffen, and they will lose the ability to move."
People of lower rank may be unable to move for their entire lives.
"Although it probably won't have much effect on you, as long as you're paralyzed for a moment..." Zhao Meilan's eyes curved into a smile.
next moment.
A dazzling flame rose from the fire dragon claw on Jiang Yuan's right arm, incinerating the surrounding pink light spots.
then.
The [Soul-Devouring Flower] burst forth with dazzling silver light, enveloping Jiang Yuan. A terrifying suction force descended instantly, devouring the flames completely!
The boy, too, was gradually swallowed up by that rule-based power.
"Very good!"
Zhao Meilan was overjoyed and felt reassured, believing that the outcome was already decided.
"Even if he possesses combat strength comparable to a quasi-king, once he is targeted by the [Soul-Devouring Flower], he will..."
"What?" A calm voice sounded from the side.
"also……"
Zhao Meilan hadn't reacted yet.
With a swift chop, her arm holding the fan was severed instantly, blood splattering everywhere.
"when!"
An iron sword flew in, unleashing astonishing sword power, and blocked Zhao Meilan's path.
The sudden turn of events froze Zhao Meilan's smile as she saw the calm-looking boy in black standing on the other side.
"!!!"
The beautiful woman in the cheongsam narrowed her pupils to a point, and blood splattered on her face, adding to her eerie and alluring beauty.
Shock.
An indescribable shock exploded in my heart.
"How is that possible... You were clearly locked on... I saw it very clearly, it couldn't be an illusion!!!"
Zhao Meilan let out an incredulous scream.
More than having her arm severed, the scene before her eyes made her question the meaning of life.
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "You said 'look,' right? How do you know what you're looking at isn't fake?"
"Don't underestimate me!" Zhao Meilan roared, her severed arm sprouting plant-like tendrils that rapidly healed itself. "I had already scattered seeds around the area that could detect illusions, so there was absolutely no sign of an illusion. And the [Soul-Devouring Flower] wouldn't release its power against things like substitutes or illusions. You..."
The beautiful woman stopped abruptly when she saw the look in the eyes of the young man in black opposite her.
That look in his eyes, without a doubt.
It was the disdainful look she gave to the underprivileged and vulnerable, like ants.
Contempt, indifference, pity, disdain.
Zhao Meilan's delicate body trembled violently.
Seeing this scene from a distance, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
Isn't this me when I went to Nanjiang City before?
Realizing that Zhao Meilan was showing signs of mental instability, Zhao Tiansong, who had previously saved her, hurriedly shouted, "Don't listen..."
late.
Zhao Meilan only felt a blur of light and shadow before her eyes.
The boy approached her, looked down into her eyes, and said softly with a smile:
"Is it possible that everything you think and see is something I made you see?"
"You think your attack had any effect on me, but it never did."
"Let me tell you, besides being a martial artist, I am also... a deceiver."
"If you don't believe me, look down at your arm."
Zhao Meilan's pupils trembled as she looked down. Her arm, which had just been repaired, seemed shattered like a mirror, as if it had never been repaired in the first place.
"Aaaaaah!!" Zhao Meilan screamed.
Even the usually stable mental realm showed a slight crack due to Jiang Yuan's words.
Jiang Yuan smiled with narrowed eyes, a silver halo shimmering deep within his right eye, radiating wisdom, lies, and cunning.
"Whoosh!!"
Two terrifying figures burst out of the secret realm.
Jiang Yuan's body vanished like a bubble, disappearing into the center of the two's attack.
When it reappears.
Jiang Yuan grasped the [Soul-Devouring Flower] that was trying to escape in mid-air and suppressed it with his Dark Domain.
Seeing that the precious treasure was about to be taken away, Zhao Tiansong could no longer sit still.
"stop!"
He gripped the iron sword and unleashed a powerful strike.
"Ode to Iron Strike!"
at the same time.
At that moment, a black fighter jet also descended from the sky, firing a beam of light that struck the black sword light that was slashing towards Jiang Yuan.
The shockwave dissipated.
Jiang Yuan stood in front of the fighter jet, with Han Ya and another person beside him, and facing him were two Zhao family quasi-kings and the family head Zhao Tiansong.
