Chapter 92

"illusion attack!"

"It's an illusion attack!"

After a while, the scene suddenly became noisy.

For many ghost cultivators, an illusion attack was something they could only hear about; few had the chance to witness one firsthand. Of course, even if they did see it, it was hard to discern much; just like now, the surrounding ghost cultivators had no idea how Lin Nianluo had made his move.

All they saw was the muscular ghost cultivator inexplicably jumping off the stage... and from this, they deduced that Lin Nianluo must have used an illusion attack.

"Illusion attacks are truly inscrutable!" Jiang Wei sighed.

In fact, Jiang Wei also wanted to learn illusion attacks. However, his master, Elder Bai, said that his talent in the field of illusions was not outstanding; it would be better to spend time cultivating his realm rather than on illusions.

Although Jiang Wei had already comprehended the Insight Realm, this was by no means the end of realm cultivation, but merely the beginning. If Jiang Wei could comprehend a higher realm after entering the Soul Condensation stage, he would likely have no rivals in the Original Sin City and its surroundings!

Of course, comprehending the Insight Realm was already extremely difficult; to comprehend a higher realm was even more challenging.

At this moment, the muscular ghost cultivator who had jumped off the stage finally came to his senses.

"Huh? What's happening...?" The muscular ghost cultivator was puzzled, "I was clearly attacking my opponent, so why am I below the stage?"

Then, he saw Lin Nianluo still standing calmly on the stage and heard the referee's announcement—out of bounds, loss!

"I... I..." The ghost cultivator wanted to jump back onto the stage to continue the fight, but suddenly realized—she uses illusion attacks!

Thinking of the terrifying nature of illusion attacks, the muscular ghost cultivator was so frightened that he slunk away. He understood that if Lin Nianluo hadn't held back, he would have been cut into countless pieces during the moment he lost his senses!

Once cut into countless pieces, one would naturally have no resistance and be at the mercy of others. Just like how Jiang Wei was cut into many pieces by the white tiger and lost all ability to move; if not for the timely activation of the Five Ghost Dao talisman, Jiang Wei would have been soul scattered.

Watching Lin Nianluo's match from a distance, Jiang Wei did not go up to greet him but directly headed towards the seventh stage.

Soon, the seventh stage began with Fang Siqi's match.

Fang Siqi's opponent was a female ghost with hair as long as snakes.

In Jiang Wei's view, the female ghost's moves were full of flaws; of course, this was only from Jiang Wei's perspective—players also saw Fang Siqi's moves as full of flaws.

However, the female ghost's moves were quite unique. Her hair, several meters long, was coiled into the shape of dozens of snakes; each strand of hair was as flexible as hands.

In fact, whether it was hair or hands, they were both made of soul energy, and the material difference was not significant; it was just that ordinary ghosts could only skillfully control their hands, not their hair. This female ghost, with her long hair, was essentially using dozens of hands against Fang Siqi's two.

They say two fists can't match four hands; with this move, the female ghost was likely one of the strongest among the small ghosts in the Spirit Comprehension stage.

"It seems Fang Siqi will have some trouble. Let's see how he deals with it!" Jiang Wei smiled as he watched from below. At this level, the female ghost might be a problem for Fang Siqi, but to Jiang Wei, she was extremely weak; after all, in terms of soul strength, Jiang Wei was six times stronger than this female ghost! "Fang Siqi mustn't lose here; otherwise, I'll have to find another opportunity to scatter his soul!"

Fang Siqi indeed encountered trouble, as this female ghost was indeed very strong.

The female ghost's hands were crossed, and she completely suppressed Fang Siqi with just her flying hair.

Of course, at this point, neither the female ghost nor Fang Siqi had revealed their weapons; they were still fighting bare-handed.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With dozens of hands against two, and both having a soul strength of one hundred times, the female ghost naturally had the upper hand.

Suddenly, the female ghost's hair changed; the tips of each strand of hair suddenly turned from fists into palms.

"This female ghost wants to forcibly capture Fang Siqi!" Jiang Wei immediately understood her intention. Jiang Wei knew that if he only had a soul strength of one hundred times, dealing with this female ghost would not be easy; now, he was very curious to see how Fang Siqi would respond.

In this situation, Fang Siqi naturally could no longer remain calm.

Swish!

Fang Siqi directly drew the sword from his back, tracing a Tai Chi pattern to meet the flying hair. Clearly, this was a very sophisticated defensive sword technique.

"Great reputation is not without substance; indeed, Fang Siqi has real strength!" The moment Fang Siqi drew his sword, Jiang Wei saw that his strength was not simple.

After all, with Jiang Wei's Insight Realm, it was easiest to see through others' flaws; yet, Fang Siqi's defensive sword technique made it difficult for Jiang Wei to find any flaws.

Of course, it wasn't that Fang Siqi's sword technique had no flaws, but the flaws were very small, and even with Jiang Wei's keen eyes, it was not easy to spot them.

"Quite skilled!"

Jiang Wei speculated that the reason Fang Siqi's movements had so few flaws was probably due to the sophistication of his sword technique.

If the movements and techniques were compared to calligraphy, then each of Jiang Wei's moves was master-level calligraphy; in Jiang Wei's eyes, the techniques of ordinary ghost cultivators were like messy "dog scratches." Fang Siqi's sword techniques... were like those traced from a master's original work; such sword techniques, of course, had flaws, but they were much better than those "dog scratches"!

"No wonder Fang Siqi is much stronger than the average Spirit Comprehension stage cultivator; this is the reason!" Seeing Fang Siqi's sword technique, Jiang Wei knew that this battle would likely be won by Fang Siqi—provided that his offensive techniques were on the same level as his current defensive techniques.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

...

Fang Siqi revealed his weapon, and the snake-haired female ghost naturally did not continue to hide her skills; she reached behind her head and drew out dozens of thin steel needles. The two largest needles were held in her "real hands."

"Using steel needles as weapons?"

However, Jiang Wei also understood that only such thin and long weapons as steel needles could allow each strand of the female ghost's hair to hold a weapon! After all, with dozens of steel needles together, the female ghost could still carry them on her back, showing how thin and long they were.
