Zi Chen believed that his perception was very strong, and he was definitely one of the best. He was definitely not worse than the others.
But along the way, he did not notice anyone following him.
"We've been followed since we entered the dense forest. They should have been following us all the way," Shang Guan Hong said with certainty.
"Black Eagle, go and take a look. Be careful." Zi Chen motioned for Black Eagle to investigate.
In this world, there were many secret techniques, and naturally, there were even more advanced concealment methods. Zi Chen would not be so arrogant as to think that he was not in danger just because he did not sense anything.
Shang Guan Hong was valued by Hunter's Castle, so she obviously had some special methods.
In Zi Chen's opinion, Shang Guan Hong's perception was sharper than his, and that was one of her abilities.
A moment later, Black Eagle turned back.
Spirit-level Battle Beasts already had high intelligence, but they could not transform into human form, nor could they transmit sound. They only nodded at Zi Chen.
"Sure enough, there's someone."
A cold light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes. After accurately knowing the number of people and their approximate strength, Zi Chen was filled with killing intent.
He had changed his appearance before leaving, so logically speaking, he should not have been caught.
In Huping City, Zi Chen had only offended one person, and that was Zhou Chong. As for the two stewards of Hunter's Castle, Zi Chen did not think that they would deal with him, because they were too strong. They were so strong that they could kill him with just a finger.
Shang Guan Hong was sure that they were the target, so Zi Chen naturally would not be polite to them. Although he did not like killing now, it did not mean that he did not know how to kill.
"What do we do next?" Shang Guan Hong asked.
Zi Chen said indifferently, "Killing is also a kind of experience."
"How do we kill them?"
"I'll take you to a mysterious place to kill them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Guan Hong felt her vision blur, and then she came to an illusory world.
This was a world full of various colors. The colorful ribbons in the sky were gorgeous and dazzling, hanging in the sky. The spatial world they were in was very big, and one could not see the end of it.
"What is this place?"
After Shangguan Hong sensed that these ribbons were Rule Bending Power, a look of shock appeared on her beautiful face again.
As the manager of Precious Ware Pavilion and a senior hunter in Hunter's Castle, she had long since learned to keep a poker face. However, she found that whenever she was with Zi Chen, he could always make her mood fluctuate quickly.
Standing in front of Zi Chen, Shang Guan Hong felt like a little girl who had never seen the world. Everything about Zi Chen was new to her.
She looked around in shock. As she released her spiritual senses, the shock on her face intensified. "What is this? The power of the Rule of Metal, the power of the Rule of Wood, the power of the Water, Fire, Earth, and other rules. This … is actually the power of the Rule of Nature. And … what is this? Oh my god, this is the Rule of Slaughter."
"This … this is good and evil. The true law of good and evil. Heavens, how is this possible? What is this place?"
The shocked Shangguan Hong's voice gradually changed. In the end, she even screamed. At this moment, she really looked like a little girl who had never seen the world.
"This is just an illusory space, but why is it so big?"
Shang Guan Hong's violently fluctuating emotions gradually calmed down. Then, she keenly sensed everything. In the end, she turned back to look at Zi Chen and asked in disbelief, "Don't tell me that this is your Illusory World."
Zi Chen smiled and said, "You can also think that it isn't."
"Oh my god, it really is like this. But why is it like this? Why is your Illusory World as big as a world? Also, these rules are all comprehended by you."
Zi Chen nodded and stared into Shang Guan Hong's eyes. He joked, "Of course, this is my secret. I'm sharing it with you now because I'm treating you as one of my own. If you dare to betray me, I'll definitely make the beautiful you die a very ugly death."
Shang Guan Hong's pretty face suddenly turned red. She didn't know if it was because she thought of something or Zi Chen's words had an effect. She looked at Zi Chen and seemed a little flustered. Then, she lowered her head and looked away.
At this moment, for some reason, Shang Guan Hong's heart started to beat faster.
So much so that everything around her that shocked her also lost its luster at this moment.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle, awkward, and strange.
As the atmosphere spread, the sound of heartbeats suddenly rang out in this quiet world. Her heartbeat was so rapid and so intense.
Shang Guan Hong's face turned even redder. The smile on Zi Chen's face froze, and his expression became extremely awkward. He was just joking, but why did it turn out this way?
Fortunately, someone happened to break in at this moment and ruined this awkward atmosphere.
"Is it a space channel? Could it be that we've arrived at a secret place?"
"If it's a space channel, then we might have a big harvest."
As the voice sounded, figures appeared three hundred meters in front of Zi Chen.
"Look, what a rich and pure power of the rules. We must have arrived at a secret place."
"Haha, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to run into a secret place. We're really lucky."
"Zi Chen is lucky. Otherwise, we would have caught up with him and killed him."
Everyone stood together and looked at the space in front of them as they shouted loudly.
A total of eight people had appeared. Five of them were at the mid Corporeal realm and appeared very excited as they shouted loudly. The other three were at the late Corporeal realm. They looked a lot calmer, but the excitement in their eyes could not be suppressed no matter how hard they tried.
Suddenly, an extremely polite voice sounded from behind them, "Excuse me, are you all part of the city's army?"
"That's …"
The Corporeal realm expert was about to answer when he suddenly felt that something was wrong and turned around.
When they turned around, they saw Zi Chen and Shang Guan Hong. At this moment, Shang Guan Hong had already regained her usual calmness. Her beautiful face caused everyone to be stunned.
"Zi Chen, it's you. I didn't expect you to come in here too." The late Corporeal realm expert was the first to regain his composure and coldly shouted at Zi Chen.
"Haha, I thought you got lucky and ran away. I didn't expect you to come in here too. Just nice, we can go treasure hunting after killing you. It's killing two birds with one stone."
The others also reacted and shouted loudly. However, they were all paying attention to Shang Guan Hong from the corner of their eyes.
Zi Chen looked at them and asked, "There are so many of you. Are you all here to kill me?"
"Of course."
"Why?" Zi Chen asked again.
"Because of the great treasure on you. Kid, you're only at the Virtual realm. It's a waste for the great treasure to be on you. Only we can bring out the true power of the great treasure." A mid Corporeal realm expert sneered.
Zi Chen continued, "I'm afraid it's not just the great treasure. It should be Zhou Chong's wish as well."
A late Corporeal realm expert's expression changed, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You should all be part of the city's army. Or rather, there should be a few of you here. Zhou Chong must have sent you to kill me." Zi Chen said calmly.
The late Corporeal realm expert wanted to deny it, but at this moment, a mid Corporeal realm expert said, "You're going to die today anyway. What's the point of telling you? We're the city's army. Killing you today is not only to steal the treasure, but also to give Zhou Chong some face."
Zi Chen nodded and said seriously, "Since you're so honest, I've decided to kill you last."
"You? Tch, you …" Before the mid Corporeal realm expert could finish his words, he saw Zi Chen's figure in front of him sway slightly. Immediately after, a gentle breeze blew past.
The gentle breeze blew through this world, moving the ribbons. The colorful ribbons gently spun, looking very beautiful.
Shang Guan Hong felt that this scene was very beautiful. The other Corporeal realm experts also felt that it was very beautiful. However, behind the beauty was danger, an extremely fatal danger.
The gentle breeze brushed past their faces and blew towards their companions. A soft and tiny sound entered the mid Corporeal realm expert's ears. It was a very light and faint sound, like the wind. It was very likely that it was just an illusion.
A ribbon streaked past his eyes. It was very dazzling. The mid Corporeal realm expert couldn't help but blink. However, in this blink of an eye, the gentle breeze disappeared and the beautiful ribbons stopped spinning.
The mid Corporeal realm expert opened his eyes and saw Zi Chen several hundred meters away. He was still as calm as ever, but the expression of the beauty beside Zi Chen seemed to be a bit off.
"Tch, you want to kill us? Stop dreaming. Today is the day you die. If you beg for mercy, I'll consider slowly torturing you to death. That way, you'll be able to live a little longer." The mid Corporeal realm expert laughed complacently.
His laughter echoed in this illusory world. It seemed very empty, very lonely, and also very … lonely.
The mid Corporeal realm expert felt very strange when he didn't hear any laughter of agreement. He looked to the side.
He saw the four mid Corporeal realm experts standing there and silently staring at Zi Chen. Their expressions seemed to be a bit sluggish.
The mid Corporeal realm expert didn't understand the four's actions and didn't notice the thin red line on their necks. He looked to the other side where the three late Corporeal realm experts had been standing.
However, the three of them had disappeared. When he turned around, he saw the three of them several hundred meters behind him.
Their faces were somewhat pale. The corners of one of their eyes were even twitching, as if he was enduring some sort of pain.
"You guys …"
The mid Corporeal realm expert was puzzled. However, just as he opened his mouth, he heard a few more thumps coming from beside him.
He decided to ignore these sounds and wanted to say a complete sentence at this moment. However, a head that rolled to his feet made him forcefully stop speaking.
It was a human head, a mid Corporeal realm expert's head.
And on the side, there was a corpse lying there.
Then, he saw three more corpses. All three of them had their heads chopped off as well. When their bodies fell, their heads separated from their necks.
The mid Corporeal realm expert was stunned at first before his expression changed drastically. This place that was originally extremely beautiful in his eyes seemed to have become extremely dangerous at this moment.
Such a scene appeared in his mind.
