The body of the Phantom Blue Star Envoy, ahead of the two broken hulls, crashed down, hitting the ground and smashing into the top of a rocky mountain peak, collapsing it.
“Rumble!”
In the next instant, the Phantom Blue Star Envoy broke through the ground and rushed out, holding a huge sword.
He stood on the ground with his head cloaked in hair, standing with his sword crossed, his entire body covered in blood as he yelled up to the sky, “Red Desire Star Envoy, you b*tch, get out of here immediately. You actually dared to kill me, how dare you, do you believe that this Star Envoy will let you taste a life worse than death?”
Eighteen wisps of pink smoke flew in from afar, melting together and condensing into the delicate figure of the Red Lust Star Envoy.
She flew down to the top of the shattered mountain peak and stood on the edge of a side of green-coloured rocks, looking down at the Phantom Blue Star Envoy and laughing, “Of the seven Star Envoys, you have the worst natural talent, do you really think you’re so great? You want to kill me, I’m afraid that there is no chance for you to do so, today, is the day of your death.”
The Spectral Blue Star Envoy’s hair all stood on end, furious, the lust in his heart had long since disappeared cleanly, and he only wanted to immediately break the Red Lust Star Envoy into pieces.
However, he was trying to restrain the anger in his heart, because, the Spectral Blue Star Envoy knew that there was another expert hiding in the shadows, and it was that person, who had seriously injured him.
When had the Red Desire Star Envoy recruited such a terrifyingly strong person?
The Spectral Blue Star Envoy clenched his teeth and said, “Call out your helper, I’d like to see what kind of god he is?”
“Haven’t I been right behind you all along?”From afar, a voice came.
Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s voice, the Spectral Blue Star Envoy immediately turned around, only to see that a hundred feet away behind him, a man wearing a white robe with a metal mask on his face stood floatingly at the top of a maple tree, appearing very relaxed.
The Phantom Blue Star Envoy’s heart sank slightly because, if the other party had not taken the initiative to speak, he would not have even been able to sense the other party’s presence.
From this, it could be seen that the strength of this person’s mental power must have reached an extremely high realm. Most likely, it had reached the forty-fourth rank.
With his cultivation of the Sixth Transformation of the Fish Dragon, engaging a forty-fourth rank spiritual power master was tantamount to suicide.
Escape.
It was imperative to flee.
The Spectral Blue Star Envoy decisively took out a scroll of holy orders and prepared to borrow the holy power of the holy orders to escape.
The Spectral Blue Star Envoy’s master, who was also a Black Market Saint, naturally had the holy decree in his possession. As long as he injected his true qi into the holy decree, he would be able to activate the holy power inside, which could take him to escape up to ten thousand miles away in a moment of danger.
How could the Red Desire Star Envoy let the Phantom Blue Star Envoy escape?
“Fear Illusion.”
The Red Lust Star Envoy’s eyes sank as he swung his crystal holy staff out, and a red shuttle of light flew out, transforming into countless slender red filaments of light that covered an area of ten miles in a radius.
In an instant, the Spectral Blue Star Envoy was like seeing something unbelievable, as the movements of his hands gradually became sluggish, and finally came to a complete stop. The blood vessels and meridians of his entire body tensed up and bulged out from inside his skin, as if they were about to burst open.
In his mouth, a rattling sound was emitted, as if he was being strangled.
In the end, the Spectral Blue Star Envoy’s legs went limp and he fell to his knees, planting himself forward and completely losing his voice.
Even Zhang Ruochen, who was standing a hundred feet away, was also affected by the Illusion Technique and was slightly disorientated for a split second.
However, when he realised that it was not good, he immediately struck his spiritual energy and condensed it into a lightning blade, slashing forward and tearing apart the illusionary realm of nothingness.
In a flash, Zhang Ruochen regained his senses and realised that the Phantom Blue Star Envoy had long since collapsed on the ground, his entire body pale and turned into a cold, dead corpse.
At the same time, the tip of his nose smelled a faint fragrance, and the Red Desire Star Envoy had somehow appeared beside him, stretching out a slender jade hand that was about to uncover the mask on his face.
Zhang Ruochen immediately stretched out a strong hand and grabbed the Red Desire Star Envoy’s snow-white wrist as he said in a deep voice, “Lord Star Envoy, what are you doing?”
The Red Lust Star Envoy was slightly startled, not expecting at all that Zhang Ruochen would be able to wake up from the illusion so quickly.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen was also quite surprised. Knowing that his mental power, which was one step higher than the Red Lust Star Envoy, and that he was still standing a hundred feet away, he was actually also affected by the illusion and lost for a split second.
In a true expert duel, a single split second could determine life and death.
“Why are you so nervous? I just want to take a look, what do you really look like?”The Red Lust Star Envoy pouted.
Zhang Ruochen moved away the Red Lust Star Envoy’s hand and said coldly, “If Lord Star Envoy still wants to continue to co-operate, it would be best if you don’t do something so stupid again. When the day comes when I feel the time is right, I will naturally unmask and let you see my face clearly.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy was not angry and withdrew his hand, gently rubbing his aching wrist, staring at Zhang Ruochen with some resentment and annoyance, saying, “Alright! I’ll wait for that day.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, staring at the corpse of the Phantom Blue Star Envoy, said, “Illusion is worthy of being one of the most terrifying secret arts, even an expert like the Phantom Blue Star Envoy actually died inside an illusion.”
Spiritual power was already very difficult to cultivate, and geniuses who were able to become spiritual power masters could be said to be one in a million.
However, illusion was even harder to cultivate.
Inside ten thousand spiritual power masters, it was very likely that only one master of illusion could be born.
It was precisely because the power of the illusion art was extremely bizarre, making it impossible to defend against, that was why it was known as one of the most terrifying and bizarre secret arts.
Martial Dao experts, even including Martial Dao Half-Saints and Saints, were also most afraid of encountering Illusion Masters. This was because strong people who were able to reach the level of Demi-Saints and Saints focused more on power, while their spiritual power might not be as powerful.
A Saint Body of the Ninth Transformation of the Fish Dragon would have no chance of winning against even the weakest Demi-Saint.
However, an Illusion Master with a mental strength of forty-fourth rank had a great possibility of killing a Half-Saint level existence without even realising it.
Even if one were to compare a Master Illusionist to the “Holy Body of Spiritual Cultivators”, it wouldn’t be too much to ask.
Of course, although Master Illusionists were very powerful, their weaknesses were also very obvious.
For example, if an Illusionist Master encountered a Spiritual Power Master who was much more powerful than their Spiritual Power, then the effect of the Illusionist spells they performed would be minimal. Or even, there was no lethality.
Or, if an Illusion Master encountered a cultivator with amazing willpower, the power of the illusion art would be greatly reduced.
All in all, Illusion Masters were definitely a rather terrifying class of people, and if they could not provoke them, they should try not to do so. Didn’t you see that even the kind of lawless person like Second Senior Brother was terrified when he saw the Illusion Saint?
In fact, this time, it also made Zhang Ruochen realise that he had underestimated the Red Desire Star Envoy before, whether it was her strength or her intelligence, neither was it as simple as it appeared.
Zhang Ruochen originally thought that with the age of the Red Desire Star Envoy, it was already not easy to cultivate her spiritual power to the forty-third step, and her attainments in illusion arts should not be too high.
However, I didn’t expect that this one demoness would be even more talented in illusion arts than she was in spiritual power.
No wonder she was so ambitious, no wonder she dared to compete with Emperor Yi for the position of Young Lord, she had indeed hidden her strength.
If one were to be deceived by her soft appearance, I’m afraid they wouldn’t even know how to die.
Zhang Ruochen said, “In fact, with Lord Star Envoy’s attainments above illusion, dealing with the Phantom Blue Star Envoy is just a breeze. It would be completely redundant for me to step in.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy shook his head and said, “The Phantom Blue Star Envoy was able to become one of the Seven Great Star Envoys, so how could he be that easy to deal with? The reason why my illusions were able to work in one strike was because, with his severe injuries and eagerness to escape, his mental defences had been completely shattered.”
“All seven Star Ambassadors have received special training and have honed their superb willpower. Thanks to your assistance, otherwise, with my current attainments in illusion arts, I might not have been able to kill him.”
Zhang Ruochen only believed half of the Red Desire Star Envoy’s words.
This one demoness, who definitely had hidden strength, was not a simple character, so it was better to be careful in the future.
The Red Desire Star Envoy walked over to the corpse of the Phantom Blue Star Envoy and picked up a roll of golden holy edicts, and then, tucked it inside the Phantom Blue Star Envoy’s robe and patted it downwards.
She said, ”The master of the Spectral Blue Star Envoy, known as the Blood Prison Saint, is a very powerful senior high ranking person. It’s best if we don’t take the artefacts on the Phantom Blue Star Envoy’s body, lest the Blood Prison Saint discover clues and trace them back to us.”
As he spoke, a crimson flame coalesced in the palm of the Red Desire Star Envoy’s hand, preparing to burn the corpse of the Pixie Blue Star Envoy to ashes, erasing all traces.
“Wait, I have a better way.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Red Desire Star Envoy turned her delicate face sideways and stared at Zhang Ruochen as she coldly said, “What do you mean?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I know a friend of the Two-Yi Sect, and it just so happens that he is in Qing Yun County right now, so perhaps he can help us carry this matter.”
“That one friend of yours would admit that the Phantom Blue Star Envoy was killed by him?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy was a little disbelieving, pursing her red lips and letting out a backhanded laugh.
“In this world, there is a class of people who can give up their lives for the sake of fame. Killing the Phantom Blue Star Envoy will surely make you famous in the Eastern Domain, and many people will rush for this one chance to become famous.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was firm as he said, “Give me the body of the Phantom Blue Star Envoy and let me give it a try.”
The Red Lust Star Envoy looked at Zhang Ruochen’s firm gaze and for some reason, a strange feeling of being quite trusting of him arose.
The Red Lust Star Envoy dispersed the flames in his palm, contemplated for a moment, and smiled, “Good! I’ll leave the aftermath to you, I’ll go back to Red Willow Villa first to clean up some people, and wait for your good news on the way.”
Speaking these words, the Red Desire Star Envoy soared up, flying to a height of ten feet, her slender and delicate body immediately transformed into eighteen wisps of pink smoke, flying towards the sky, and finally disappearing completely without a trace.
Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power to make sure that the Red Desire Star Envoy had really left before he fumbled around on the body of the Phantom Blue Star Envoy, finding a Holy Sword, a pagoda shaped protective treasure, two eleventh-ranked True Martial Treasure Weapons, as well as a number of pills and secret books.
