Star Trace Gate

Chapter 877: Night Patrol Late, 9th Heavenly Mysterious Lord

The Little Bad King listened to Sun Qingxue's words and quickly replied, "Sister, please speak your mind boldly."

Within the illusion, Sun Qingxue, accompanied by her maid Shan'er, dealt with the three Yu brothers while urgently replying, "These three fools probably haven't noticed you've awakened yet. We can use this to our advantage and catch them by surprise. I have the 'Sky Frost Sword Talisman' given to me by my father. This talisman is a wisp of spiritual energy refined from a family heirloom. It allows me to briefly ascend to the ultimate realm and unleash the astonishing power of the Frost Sword. This strike... should shatter a corner of this illusion. Then, you'll suddenly awaken, flee quickly, and alert the village's night watchmen... Shan'er and I only need to hold them off for a while. Once the night watchmen arrive, we'll surely capture them alive."

"What a great plan! Sister, your wisdom is unparalleled!" The Little Bad King praised her out of habit, then hesitated and said, "But..."

"Just what?" Sun Qingxue asked immediately.

"However, if I escape, the three thieves will realize they are cornered and will definitely fight to the death. They might even transform themselves into Daoists and perish along with my two sisters." The Little Bad King spoke quickly, "My sister is a precious treasure. If something unexpected happens to her, how can I explain it to the Sun family?"

"How about this? Sister, you can use the sword talisman to break a corner of the formation, and then order that maidservant sister to flee. That way, they will definitely send one or two people to chase after them. I can then find the right opportunity, suddenly wake up, and use my secret technique to sneak attack one of them. If I can kill one person first, the three of us will be safe."

Ren Ye's brain was working rapidly, and he also gave his own suggestions.

However, after hearing the Little Bad King's plan, Sun Qingxue was extremely confused.

You? You're a seriously ill, blind, third-rank "wild dog" who walks into walls without even having to fight. Even when you're not fighting, you rely on special elixirs every month to stay alive. And you tell me... you can steal someone's life?!

You must be dreaming, brother!

Sun Qingxue had no idea where his confidence came from. She felt speechless and devastated, but she still politely responded, "Brother Huang, listen to me. These three are all at the Black Qi level, and their magic is far more powerful than you can imagine. My maidservant may be a servant, but she can still fight them and delay them. But if you replace her, I'm afraid you and I will die in this illusion within two breaths."

"This battle is truly not something a third-grade cultivator can participate in!"

"Fuck, why are you being so euphemistic? Just say it straight out. You think I'm a loser..." Ren also sensed the meaning behind the other person's words and was speechless in his heart, because he thought he was capable of fighting.

Why didn't he follow Sun Qingxue's advice, wake up suddenly, and then escape? Wouldn't that be safer?

In fact, Ren Ye was far more thoughtful than Sun Qingxue. One of the three men had already revealed his identity, and their intention to silence him became very obvious.

In other words, if the Little Bad King suddenly woke up and successfully escaped the illusion, the risk of exposure for these three would increase infinitely. Therefore, the three of them would inevitably fight to the death. And if Sun Qingxue and Shan'er were unable to stop the attack of these three, and one of them was seriously injured or killed, then two of the three could split up to pursue Ren Ye, while one stayed here to deal with the situation.

In this case, if Ren Ye could successfully summon the night patrol in a very short time, it would be fine; but if not, he would have to face the joint attack of two black energy-level powerhouses head-on, which would most likely be very dangerous.

God knows how long it will take for those night patrolmen to arrive. If they are a little late, his life will be in danger, so he dare not gamble.

But if he suddenly woke up and launched a surprise attack, the outcome would likely be completely different. Because right now, Brother Yu and the other two had completely overlooked the Little Bad King's existence, and he not only mastered the magical technique of "Old Swallows Returning to the Nest," but also possessed the Nine Heavens Mysterious Talisman, a gift from the storyteller. If the other party was caught off guard, even if he couldn't kill them, he could at least severely injure them, and then help Shan'er escape successfully...

Such a strategy is obviously more stable, but Sun Qingxue does not trust his ability to do so.

The Little Bad King knew that time was of the essence, so he tried his best to sleep and said, "Sister, I recently learned a very powerful and strange spell. If I use it for sneak attacks, it's simply...!"

"No matter how strange it is, it's only a third-grade divine technique. It can't help us!" Sun Qingxue saw him dithering and immediately said anxiously, "If someone really is chasing Shan'er, and you suddenly wake up and attack, only to be slapped away by someone... then my sword talisman will be wasted, Shan'er won't be able to escape, and the three of us will all be doomed!"

Above the sky, Peng Yuan used secret witchcraft to disturb Shan'er's mind; at the same time, he waved the bone staff, and several bone staff shadows evolved in the illusion, attacking the maid fiercely and fiercely.

Shan'er held a green sword in his hand, his movements ethereal. After he cut off three phantoms of bone staffs in succession, he was hit on the left shoulder by a stick, his skin and flesh tore on the spot, and blood splattered into the sky.

She was already a Red Qi-level expert, and in terms of both realm quality and divine power, she was somewhat inferior to the three Yu brothers. Furthermore, the other party was determined to kill and silence her, and their attacks were extremely ruthless and unreserved, so she naturally found it difficult to resist.

However, while Sun Qingxue was "talking" to the Little Bad King, she also secretly separated a wisp of her soul to transmit a message to Shan'er. This was mainly to let Shan'er understand the plan so that she would not be confused when the action was about to take place. Therefore, Shan'er could also hear what Sun Qingxue said to Ren Ye.

"Whoosh!"

In mid-air, Shan'er, clutching a cyan sword, retreated with his body swaying. His expression darkened as he mercilessly cursed Ren Ye through voice transmission, "Just do what I tell you to do. Why are you spouting so much nonsense? You're just a deaf and blind third-rank stray dog, surviving by feigning sleep. If it weren't for my master and servant here, you'd have been beheaded in your sleep. You're still dreaming of fighting a Black Qi-level cultivator! Have you taken all that medicine and gone mad?"

"I'm telling you, if anything goes wrong today, my Sun family will never forgive you! Get out of here! Go and notify the night patrol to come and rescue you!"

Shan'er's merciless scolding made the great master of the park lose all his dignity.

Okay, since you look down on me so much, I will be considered a bastard if I say anything more.

"Okay, you start the illusion, I'll escape and inform the night watchman." Ren didn't pay any attention to Shan'er, but replied to Sun Qingxue very decisively.

"I'll first lead these three people to the east, and then use the sword talisman to break your retreat route. This way, the distance between the two places is too far, making it extremely difficult for them to react, and it will be easier to help you escape." After Sun Qingxue gave the instructions, she immediately asked Shan'er, "Did you hear me? As soon as he leaves, you and I will desperately delay!"

"Okay, Miss." Shan'er hurriedly took a pill while dodging the attacks.

"Boom!"

Sun Qingxue immediately activated the "Hantian Shuttle", emitting a terrifying pressure, and attacked Lin Er.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Er didn't have any magic weapon in his hand that could compete with the Hantian Shuttle, so he could only avoid its edge and dodge to the side.

After Sun Qingxue succeeded in her feint attack, she immediately fled in the east direction that Lin Er had made way for, heading towards the side close to the Illusionary Street. Her figure was agile and ethereal.

"They might try to run away, hurry, stop them!"

Brother Yu roared and took his two brothers to chase after the master and servant.

After a struggle, Sun Qingxue found the right opportunity in the eastern sky, raised her slender arms, and a bright ice-blue color suddenly appeared between her eyebrows.

"Above the bright moon, in the extreme cold of the moon, I call upon the spirits of my ancestors to forge my sword of the Frost Sky—open!"

A soft sigh, as if a fairy from the ninth heaven was murmuring the sorrows of the world, echoed faintly in the illusion.

"Ong!"

The icy blue color in Sun Qingxuemei's heart, like the rising moonlight on the first night, filled every corner of the illusion.

The extremely cold air surged wildly. The low houses, the narrow alleys, the lanterns hanging in front of the wooden doors... all the illusory scenery was covered with a thin layer of ice crystals at this moment.

The entire fantasy space seemed to be frozen, the temperature dropped sharply, and it was terrifying!

"She...she has a treasure?!" Lin Er was shocked.

"No, this isn't the pure aura of a supreme treasure; it must be a life-saving gift from the Sun family!" Brother Yu, possessing considerable insight, reacted quickly and shouted, "Take shelter from the onslaught for now. Lin Er, use all your strength to raise your aura and stabilize the jade pendant within this illusion. If even a trace of that aura leaks out, the village's night patrol will surely notice it, and we'll all be dead!"

"boom!"

Lin Er naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and then he tried his best to mobilize his spiritual energy and pour it into the jade pendant that controlled the illusion.

The surrounding scenery changed dramatically, looking more blurry and unreal, but this was a more solid manifestation of the illusion.

A terrifying and extremely cold air erupted from Sun Qingxue's body, and the crystal blue light between her eyebrows was as bright as an iceberg.

"out!"

She condensed her hands into sword fingers and pushed them forward on both sides of her eyebrows!

“Boom! Whoosh!”

Endless and extremely cold air condensed into a ray of sword light, which shot out from between Sun Qingxue's eyebrows, shaking the void and heading straight to the west!

The terrifying pressure of the sword light and the uncontrollable feeling of impending death surged in Brother Yu's heart, but his eyes revealed a look of astonishment, and he murmured in confusion: "Why did that sword light fly towards the south sky? Isn't this... isn't it attacking and killing the three of us?!"

"Bang bang bang...!"

The violent sound of the void shaking echoed continuously in the illusion.

The sword light entered the southern sky, breaking through the boundary and destroying it!

"puff!"

Lin Er, who had stabilized the illusion, suddenly vomited blood and shouted, "Nantian's illusion is shattered...!"

In this extremely short period of time, the night sky in a corner of the southern sky, which originally looked very blurry, suddenly became solid, which was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

"It's...it's done." Sun Qingxue was secretly happy.

Although she was also a Black Qi-level expert, she still lagged behind the three Yu brothers. Furthermore, she had traveled too few secret realms and lacked sufficient experience, making her completely unable to truly activate the Sky Frost Sword Talisman. If a highly skilled elder from the Sun family had come, there would have been no need to summon the Night Patrol, and she would have been able to directly dispatch the three thieves with this single strike.

"brush!"

Inside the small, shabby house, Ren also sensed the existence of the South Sky Gap, and then suddenly jumped out of the bed, without even having time to put on his clothes. He was only shirtless, wearing only a bra, and jumped out of the window almost naked.

"boom!"

After he jumped out of the window barefoot, he immediately mobilized the power of the star source and ran straight towards the south sky like a mad wolfhound.

"That blind man actually woke up?!"

Peng Yuan roared in disbelief, "He must be going to call the night watchman. Stop him!"

“Both illusion and reality…!”

Lin Er chanted an incantation, wanting to use his powerful spiritual power to fill the gap in the South Sky.

"Whoosh!"

Sun Qingxue found the right opportunity, controlled the Frost Sky Shuttle, flew across the night sky, and headed straight for his eyebrows.

"I'll chase him!"

When Peng Yuan saw that Lin Er was being harassed, he decided to go after Ren Ye himself.

"Damn it, don't worry. The village night watchmen... won't be here soon. Let's kill these two women first, then go and kill the blind man." Brother Yu didn't chase Ren Ye right away. Instead, he called out to Peng Yuan, "Use the Origin Secret Technique and kill them within ten breaths."
