Chapter 128: 102, I've been tricked again!
Raindrops fell like goose feathers, spraying down on everyone, cool droplets like fog or clouds, much like the lingering haze in the hearts of the Loose Cultivators that couldn't be dispersed.
Listening to the voice that had just sounded, standing beside Xu Yuan, the seemingly harmless Lin Qingque gazed at the black shadows charging towards them, tilting her head slightly. The cold and ethereal beauty revealed a sweet smile on her face, "Just now, someone called me a little girl, right?"
Upon seeing this sweet smile, for some reason, the Loose Cultivators who were pouncing towards them felt a chill at the heart.
But after all, they were people who had gone through many dangers, and they wouldn't retreat just because of Lin Qingque's somewhat eerie smile.
A chill in the heart didn't slow them down; instead, they quickened their pace.
"Everyone, there's no need to be afraid, she's just bluffing."
The mysterious person hidden among them said, "The young man is now exhausted, now is the best time. As long as we capture this frail looking girl, we will be able to uncover the great secret that allows him to defeat Core Formation cultivators with only his Foundation Establishment cultivation. Once we have it, we will no longer have to play by the rules of others."
Lin Qingque slightly furrowed her brow. She could feel that with the rise of this persuasive voice, many of the Loose Cultivators who were still hesitating began to move towards them, including some Core Formation cultivators who had previously shown no interest in them.
"Looking for death."
Indifferently, she raised her hand, using her heart as the inkstone, her fingers like white jade lightly dabbed in the ink of her heart, painting on the void.
A few simple strokes and a mountain and river ink painting that only she could see vividly appeared.
The next moment, along with the invisible Power of the Heart stirring heaven and earth, the ink painting came to life, crashing over like waves.
Crash——
Although everyone heard a sound of a furious and chaotic current, there was nothing to be seen in front of them.
"This is an illusion, we don't need to pay attention..."
At the same time, a bizarre voice emerged in many people's hearts, this voice was sudden and extremely strange, yet it was filled with a trustworthiness because it came from the depths of their own hearts.
"This is an illusion, there's no need to pay attention!"
Suddenly, a loud shout resounded, pulling many people out of the mysterious voice's seduction.
However, there were still many whose realms were too low, who fell into the trap of Heart Voice, getting brutally crushed and knocked away by the incoming tide of Heart Power.
Just one move, and the number of Loose Cultivators who dared to show themselves had already been halved.
The faint smile on Lin Qingque's lips suddenly disappeared, as the number was a lot more than she had anticipated.
She swept out with her Heart Power, attempting to find that person who repeatedly spoke and set the rhythm, but he was very well hidden, to the extent that even her Heart Power didn't find him immediately.
Xu Yuan stepped back subtly.
Lin Qingque's last move was not only aimed at those flying towards them but also at those trying to approach the corpses behind them.
It seemed as if she also noticed his intention, subtly preventing him from leaving her side.
Unfortunately, under the rhythm set by the mysterious person he created with Illusory Realm, those who initially didn't plan to act against them also began to harbor ulterior motives.
"This little girl is quite strange."
The dozen or so remaining shadows paused mid-air, looking at Lin Qingque with a hint of wariness.
Even though they had just managed to react in time to resist the Heart Power tide with their techniques, they were still somewhat panicky, and many started to contemplate retreat. Despite their confidence in their own strength, Lin Qingque's demonstrated method was too bizarre and unsettling.
They could clearly distinguish between suicidally rushing in and taking a calculated risk.
"Cough cough." At this moment, Xu Yuan chose to cough a few times.
His complexion turned a bit pale, giving off the impression that he was no longer able to continue the fight.
"Go for it! If we don't take this chance now, when will we?"
"Let's join forces. I don't believe we can't overcome a single little girl who's at the peak of Foundation Establishment!"
"Right, her powerful move just now must have cost her greatly, and that young man is already at the end of his tether!"
Xu Yuan's coughing sounded like the final straw that broke the camel's back.
The people who were previously hesitating immediately rushed up as if they had been injected with adrenaline. Find more to read at empire
Seeing this, a look of disdain and a trace of suspicion flashed through Lin Qingque's eyes.
The disdain was clearly meant for the crowd, while the suspicion was directed towards Xu Yuan.
She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and only after seeing that Xu Yuan seemed to truly be drained from that last move did she dismiss the doubt in her heart.
"Brother, you really love to show off, now isn't that embarrassing? But it doesn't matter, because I'll take action!"
Lin Qingque sighed affectionately, her hair fluttering, her white dress billowing softly in the wind. She extended her fingers toward the people flying towards them and gave a distant clench.
In the next moment, the space within a hundred paces around them abruptly froze.
Shadows, like bats caught under a painter's brush, suddenly came to a halt.
