NOVPUBChapter 633: Chapter 351 Both Sides Suffer Losses_1 Chapter 633: Chapter 351 Both Sides Suffer Losses_1 The Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox’s fierce strike was indeed powerful.
If Lin Tianming hadn’t been decisive enough to promptly summon his Defense Artifact, that strike would have had a significant chance of severely injuring or even killing him.
As peace briefly returned to the heavens and earth, the two balls of Qi, despite collapsing, did not immediately dissipate.
As for Zhou Jin, who had managed to withstand the strike, he hadn’t even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox’s pupils emit a ray of Spiritual Light, causing the Qi in front of him to churn violently.
Immediately after, he felt the world around him start to change drastically.
In that moment, he distinctly saw his master sitting before him, beckoning to him.
At the same time, his master urged, “Disciple, this Dragon Heart Pill was prepared for you by me, come and take it quickly!”
...
At those words, Zhou Jin’s face lit up with joy, and he began to step forward to take the elixir from his master’s hand.
All seemed so real that Zhou Jin hadn’t the slightest inkling that this was an illusion conjured by the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox, meant to lure him into an unguarded approach and then take the opportunity to claim his life.
At this time, Lin Tianming, who wasn’t far from Zhou Jin, was also enveloped by the Qi that had yet to disperse.
Similarly, a scene unfolded in front of him.
There, Lin Shikang’s silhouette appeared before him, seated with a Star Moon Fruit in hand, beckoning kindly to him.
“Tian Ming… this object was not easily obtained, and I’m getting old with limited talent and potential,”
“Thus, this must be handed to you, for you have a much greater chance of entering the Golden Core Stage!”
In the illusion, Lin Shikang appeared amiable and his tone indistinguishable from the real Lin Shikang.
Moreover, every detail of the scene seemed as tangible as reality.
In that instant, Lin Tianming, too, was immersed in the dream, unable to extricate himself, and just like Zhou Jin, began to walk forward.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Jin had covered dozens of feet in distance, with only a little more than a hundred feet remaining between him and the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox.
Such a short range was not far for a Second-Order Late-Stage Demon Beast and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Given their speed and strength, it might only take a few breaths for the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox to directly claim the life of Zhou Jin, who was caught in its illusion.
Lin Tianming, on the other hand, was in a much better situation.
After all, he had taken the opportunity to create a safe distance at the moment the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox unleashed its attack with the Qi, unlike Zhou Jin who had taken the brunt of the blow head-on.
Furthermore, there was a distance between the Qi ball and him initially, making the strength of the illusion significantly weaker.
However, at this moment, Lin Tianming was also slowly advancing, only more than a hundred feet away from the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox, albeit at a slower pace.
On the other side, the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox, seeing the two men trapped in the illusion, seemed quite pleased with itself, ready to move closer and then directly take their lives.
Time slowly passed, and after one breath’s time,
Lin Tianming was still in the illusion, moving toward Lin Shikang to receive the Star Moon Fruit.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Tianming’s brow was furrowed, clearly resisting the illusion.
As for Zhou Jin, his face was pale, and his breath seemed somewhat disordered.
Seeing that the two continued to move forward, they were about to reach the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox’s attack range.
Just then, Lin Tianming, still trapped in the illusion, seemed to notice a flaw.
His expression suddenly changed, the Eye of Five Colors on his forehead flashed, and the original illusion vanished, revealing the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox’s form replacing the one of Lin Shikang.
At this moment, Lin Tianming instantly regained his clarity, and seeing the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox again, he couldn’t help but feel a chilling alarm in his heart.
The illusion had been so realistic that he had almost been fooled completely.
One must know that over the years, he had never ceased in administering Dragon Bone Pills to himself, enhancing his Divine Sense significantly over time, far beyond that of his peers.
It was estimated that even at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level, his Divine Sense was likely no weaker than those Cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Yet even so, he had been nearly ensnared by the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox’s illusion.
If he did not possess treasures like the Eye of Five Colors that could see through empty illusions, he might have actually lost his life here.
Realizing this, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but sigh to himself.
Not only was the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox powerful, but it was also so devious — no wonder countless Cultivators in the Cultivation World coveted the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox’s Divine Ability Talent over so many years.
As Lin Tianming regained his senses, the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox, noticing his recovery, immediately resolved to attack.
The Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox opened its mouth once more and spew out two more Qi balls, aiming to blast Zhou Jin, who was still caught in the illusion, as well as Lin Tianming.
This preemptive strike was clearly to seriously injure or even kill one of them, thereby reducing its own pressure.
Otherwise, if Zhou Jin came to his senses and joined Lin Tianming again, the Spirit Fox would likely be at a disadvantage.
In such circumstances, the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox decided not to hold back, attacking with even more ferocity, evidently willing to gamble everything at this moment.
At this critical moment, with the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox making its move, Lin Tianming’s expression was one of urgency, as he quickly cried out,
“Daoist Zhou, wake up at once!”
After shouting, Lin Tianming formed a Law Decree with his hands, and the Tiangang Sword flew from his grip, unleashing the Tiangang Sword Qi Seventh Sword, blasting toward the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox.
