Breaking the illusion

However, these pale explanations seemed to have no effect, and in desperation, Xiao Feng could only choose to wait.

When those men found that they couldn't cause any harm to Xiao Feng, they one by one released their hands.

Xiao Feng threw a fierce punch directly at the cave wall, actually leaving his fist print there.

"See? If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already. Would I need to let you do anything?"

"I really came to save people!"

An old man slowly walked out and spoke tremblingly to Xiao Feng.

"He... hero, we..."

Halfway through his sentence, the old man fainted from hunger. Xiao Feng looked at the bandits behind him.

"You beasts! Is the food ready? Hurry up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bandits' food was also offered up one by one. After watching the old man drink a bowl of thin porridge, Xiao Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Stop talking nonsense, go back to the Village after eating this meal!"

Those bandits quickly became docile Shop Assistants, one by one greeting people.

Seeing the commoners eating warmly, Xiao Feng also relaxed, but a moment later, Xiao Feng noticed something was wrong.

Little Boy!

There was a Little Boy in the crowd who looked exactly like the one he had seen yesterday.

Almost subconsciously, Xiao Feng walked directly in front of the Little Boy.

"Hey, kid, are you a twin?"

At this cold question, the woman beside him immediately shielded the child with her body.

"He... hero, oh no, leader, this child is still young, ask me anything!"

Helplessly, Xiao Feng forced out another strained smile.

"Is this child a twin?"

"Our family has a single heir for generations, so of course not!"

A man swallowed the cake in his mouth and quickly replied.

Only then did Xiao Feng realize that the Little Boy from yesterday was not right.

In a panic, Xiao Feng randomly pulled over a bandit.

"Listen up, all of you! From now on, this is the new master of the mountain stronghold. If any of you dare not listen to him, I'll chop you!"

After saying this, Xiao Feng picked up the knife he had just used, flicked it easily, and it directly embedded itself in the distant wall.

Xiao Feng continued to instruct.

"After these commoners finish eating, send them all back to the Village. If even one is missing, I'll slaughter your mountain stronghold when I return!"

"Did you hear that?"

The newly appointed leader nodded tremblingly.

"Yes... yes..."

Xiao Feng also didn't bother to waste time and quickly left the mountain stronghold, heading straight in the direction of the Little Boy.

However, upon arriving here, the place was already empty. Not to mention the Little Boy, even Mo Ruyu was nowhere to be seen.

Tricked!

Xiao Feng cursed inwardly and searched carefully. After searching for a long time, he somehow found himself back in the direction of the Village.

Xiao Feng looked closely and saw a person hanging from the archway at the entrance of the Village.

He walked two steps forward, his eyes fixed on the face.

Mo Ruyu!

Xiao Feng cursed loudly and rushed towards Mo Ruyu. However, after only a few steps, Xiao Feng discovered that his power was constantly being drained.

Almost subconsciously, Xiao Feng took two steps back, and the output of spiritual energy gradually stopped.

Just then, Xiao Feng felt waves of chill coming from behind him. Looking back, the Little Boy was walking towards him with a wronged expression.

"Big brother, help!"

Xiao Feng cursed loudly, drew the long sword from his waist, and spoke fiercely.

"What are you pretending for! Show your true form!"

After speaking, Xiao Feng directly attacked. Seeing that he was exposed, the Beggar instantly returned to his previous appearance in ragged clothes.

"What sharp eyes! My illusion couldn't deceive you?"

Xiao Feng spoke fiercely.

"Release the person quickly, or I'll kill you?"

The Beggar, however, was not in a hurry to escape, his face full of indifference.

"Oh? Do you have that ability? You can try!"

The Beggar didn't seem worried that Xiao Feng was stronger than him; instead, there was a sense of eagerness between his brows.

"Who exactly are you?"

An inexplicable fear also rose in Xiao Feng's heart, and he couldn't help but ask nervously.

"Who I am isn't important, what I want to do is. The spiritual energy in your bodies is too abundant. If it's not used properly, wouldn't that be a waste?"

After speaking, the Beggar's pupils turned red, like a bloodthirsty devil, seemingly ready to devour something...

Xiao Feng inwardly cursed, knowing it was bad. He shot into the air and, mid-air, shot and broke Mo Ruyu's rope. Immediately after, with a swift maneuver, he left the direction of the archway.

"Hey, wake up!"

Xiao Feng subconsciously commanded, however, he found that the spiritual energy in Mo Ruyu's body had already been drained dry. Wanting her to wake up was simply nonsense.

Xiao Feng settled her to the side and rushed towards the Beggar indignantly.

"Today, you will surely die!"

With a strange cry, Xiao Feng's figure instantly appeared in front of the Beggar. However, the Beggar's figure also instantly disappeared.

The next second, Xiao Feng vaguely felt waves of stinging pain. He subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything in front of him had changed.

"Hee hee!"

Waves of strange laughter, and that familiar face appeared before Xiao Feng.

Liu Chengfeng!

"Disciple, why aren't you quickly eating? If you lose the Great Competition, don't blame your Master for being impolite!"

"Eat your sister!"

Xiao Feng shouted loudly and thrust his long sword, but found that the Liu Chengfeng in front of him was just a phantom, and he couldn't harm him in the slightest.

"Disciple..."

Endless shouts echoed in Xiao Feng's mind, and Xiao Feng felt his head splitting with pain.

The Beggar watched Xiao Feng dancing in place with a wicked smile. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of his prey being slowly tortured by him.

[Host's brain detected to be in chaos, attempting to wake up!]

[Attempting to wake up for the second time, failed!]

[Attempting to wake up for the third time, failed!]

The chaotic mechanical sound echoed endlessly in front of Xiao Feng, mixed with the voice of the Master he had once loathed the most, almost causing Xiao Feng's head to explode.

"Ah!"

Xiao Feng roared loudly. At the same time, the System's voice also echoed in Xiao Feng's mind.

[Attempting to wake up, successful!]

[Host's spirit detected to be damaged, state has been restored for the host. spiritual stones are depleted, please host pay attention to replenishing them!]

Xiao Feng's eyes were also filled with red. At this moment, he was like a Monsterous Beast, glaring fiercely at the Beggar in front of him.

The Beggar was also stunned.

"How is this possible?"
