199 A-class

“Ah!”

The impostor let out a wretched cry. The moment he was enveloped by Lu Yu’s Illusionary Realm Kingdom, the Dragon Blood Battle Saber and the Blood Emperor Battle Saber pierced right through his body concurrently, and he spewed out a large amount of blood.

As the Illusionary Realm Kingdom disappeared, the impostor’s strength was restored once again. He glared at Lu Yu with eyes full of disbelief. “How come you have an aura that hailed from the same origin as mine? Have you… killed my fellow clansmen before?”

The impostor’s face became distorted, and a purple eye emerged faintly above his forehead. Within that purple eye, more than a dozen identical eyes were lined up.

“So you have finally revealed your true self?” Lu Yu said with a scornful laugh.

Although his Illusionary Realm Kingdom was unable to envelop the body of the impostor for a second time within a short period, the impostor also suffered a heavy injury, resulting in a major drop in strength. It was now unable to maintain the simulated image of the person.

At the same time, Ji Xi also struck suddenly, taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill this impostor.

The aura of a War General erupted, and a burst of dazzling moonlight radiated, coalescing into a ray of sword light that penetrated the impostor’s body.

“Despicable! Despicable! You two unscrupulous people, I will kill you!” The impostor yelled maliciously.

The face was still Ji Tianlin’s face, but the purple eye on the forehead became increasingly clearer. A burst of purple light radiated outwards and a wave containing the hallucinogenic ability came rushing over.

However, the moment it touched the radiance of the moonlight, it was as if it could not bear to see the light and melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Damn it! This woman’s power is restraining me.” Overwhelmed by the attack, the impostor suddenly recalled her presence. Otherwise, with his strength, he would have killed Ji Xi in this illusionary realm long ago, and would not have delayed until this moment.

Ji Xi’s face was aloof and menacing. She held the moonlight longsword in her hand and went charging towards the impostor in a killing move. Lu Yu also swung the Dragon Blood Battle Saber and the Blood Emperor Battle Saber simultaneously at this moment, slashing directly at the purple eye of the impostor.

In a left and right pincer movement, the seriously wounded impostor was killed on the spot. The surrounding illusionary realm collapsed quickly.

Immediately, Ji Xi thanked Lu Yu and asked for his name, “May I ask this benefactor how do I address you?”

Lu Yu smiled and said, “There is no need for Lady Ji to be polite. Just call me Lu Yu.”

A look of amazement flashed across Ji Xi’s beautiful eyes. So this man in front of her was that Advisor to the Gamma Military Zone, the captain of the 4th Battalion.

“Advisor Lu is too polite. To tell the truth, other than my identity which is somewhat special, I am just an inspector sent by the capital. Just call me Miss Ji.” Ji Xi smiled slightly. Although she hailed from a famous family, she did not put on any airs and her attitude was affable.

“Then in private, I’ll address you as Miss Ji. The rest of the time, I will address you in whichever manner as dictated by the occasion.” Lu Yu cupped his hands respectfully and said.

The daughter of a War Demigod, who inherited the mantle of the War Demigod, was way stronger than him, whether in terms of strength or connections. Lu Yu would not be so foolish as to address her as Miss Ji regardless of the occasion.

Moreover, in the capital, there were two inspectors, Ying Qufeng and Zhou Zhongzheng, who were initially assigned to come here. This was followed by another inspector not long after that. Lu Yu found it very hard to believe that there was nothing going on underneath all this.

Ji Xi, on the other hand, looked at Lu Yu and secretly nodded her head. She was quite satisfied with Lu Yu’s attitude.

He was not arrogant or impatient. He had a high emotional quotient, and valued kinships and righteousness. It seemed that the heinous acts and evil atrocities mentioned by the Ying family were only for the purpose of eliminating dissidents.

The Ying family had been getting increasingly more brazen. They planted their own agents in various positions in the federal government. In the past, she simply closed one eye, but this time, she could no longer tolerate their behavior.

“Miss… Miss Ji, our Gamma Military Zone has already planned out a detailed strategy…” Lu Yu was really unaccustomed to this form of address. After some hesitation, he revealed the full extent of General Wang’s plan.

After a while, Ji Xi frowned and asked, “And what does Advisor Lu need me to do?”

Lu Yu said with a slight smile, “I have to ask Miss Ji to lend me a hand to help rescue those powerful experts at the level of Grand Master and above who are still trapped in this illusionary realm.”

With a War General assisting him, in addition to Lu Yu’s ability to enter and exit illusionary realms at will, his speed at killing off those purple eyes would be so much faster.

When he absorbed the purple eyes that trapped Ji Xi in the illusionary realm just now while the eyes were in the form of the impostor, his Illusionary Realm Kingdom made a breakthrough and reached the level of A-class.

However, if he wanted to confront the illusionary realm of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon head-on, he needed to further improve on his Illusionary Realm Kingdom.

“Naturally,” Ji Xi agreed without hesitation.

Immediately, the two joined hands. First, they found the illusionary realm that trapped Uncle Fu and rescued him. Uncle Fu, who had just been rescued, was still a little confused. He said, “Miss, who is this?”

“Lu Yu.” Lu Yu introduced himself.

Ji Xi explained the reason succinctly, and Uncle Fu’s eyes widened. They intended to confront that Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon directly.

“In this case, I will definitely cooperate with my full ability,” Uncle Fu replied while nodding his head.

Following that, he thought it would take a lot of effort to work with Lu Yu to break into the illusionary realms. He even rolled up his sleeves and was ready to jump straight in, but he was immediately dumbfounded.

He saw Lu Yu breaking into the various illusionary realms as easily as strolling in the quiet courtyards. Within a very short time, he rescued another cultivator.

“This kid has a certain immunity to the illusions of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon, and his immunity is still increasing step by step.” Uncle Fu sensed Lu Yu’s change and made a guess in his heart, feeling very astonished.

Finally, when he rescued the next cultivator and slew the purple eye, Lu Yu sensed that his Illusionary Realm Kingdom had increased in power again. And he was only one step away from the S-class threshold.

However, no matter how many purple eyes he slew after that, he couldn’t cross this threshold.

“It seems that no matter how many purple eyes I kill henceforth, I can’t rely on the accumulation of numbers to improve the level of the Illusionary Realm Kingdom further.” Lu Yu shook his head inwardly, feeling a big sense of pity.

Otherwise, at his current speed, he could nurture the Illusionary Realm Kingdom to the level of SS-class, and then fight with the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon directly.

Now, he could only bite the bullet and search for the main body of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon. With the current strength of his Illusionary Realm Kingdom, he was completely immune to illusionary realms and could achieve a certain degree of interference.

“Miss Ji, Uncle Fu, once you find the main body of the Hundred-eyed Purple Dragon, destroy its illusionary realm. This SS-class Fearsome Beast will surely wake up, and a fierce battle will be inevitable…” Lu Yu said, intending to push forward regardless.

“Don’t worry. I will protect the people of this Lunan City.” Ji Xi said with a wry smile.

Although her power had a certain restraint on the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon, she was not completely immune to the illusionary realms. So the main combat force of this battle would be the Great Grand Master, while she, the War General, could only assist Lu Yu.

Ji Xi felt a rare moment of helplessness.

After obtaining Ji Xi’s promise, Lu Yu’s expression became determined. As he had no other worries, he could release his mental power in full without reservation.
