168: Liu Ruyue is dead! Duel with the Queen of Weird Eyes!

【Ghoul-Eyed Empress!】

【Swish!】

【You instantly felt your hair stand on end, a chilling sensation surged into your heart. A hand as fair as snow, at some unknown time, had silently stroked your spine, as if wanting to pierce through flesh and blood to touch...】

【Your thoughts, at this moment, were instantly enveloped by a strange whisper, as if trying to drag you into an endless abyss, to become a Puppet to be played with...】

【Boom!】

【At the critical moment, deep within your Divine Soul, an "Immortal Talisman - Nine Heavens Sky Dome Returning Ruins Divine Thunder" emitting vast heavenly might suddenly erupted with a trace of thunderous heavenly might, actively protecting its master...】

【"The power of a Land True Immortal?!"】

【Rip!】

【The fair hand that had touched your back was instantly stung by the "Returning Ruins Divine Thunder", letting out a muffled groan, its movement halted.】

【Swish!】

【Two "Soul Devouring Demon Blade" of the same origin instantly appeared in your hand and merged together, transforming into a brand new "Immortal Artifact"...】

【"Scram!"】

【Holding the "Immortal Artifact", a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from your body, covered by thunder, surging with blood qi, almost condensing into a colossal blood-colored demon, glaring fiercely, and violently slashing towards the "phantom" behind you.】

【The might of the Immortal Artifact instantly tore space apart. The originally playful expression on the Ghoul-Eyed Empress's face behind you instantly froze, her body torn apart by a single slash...】

【"Immortal Artifact?"】

【The "Ghoul-Eyed Empress", who was cut in half, tilted her head, a hint of surprise on her face.】

【Splurt!】

【The torn "Ghoul-Eyed Empress" instantly exploded, turning into a phantom in your sight...】

【Step! Step! Step!】

【In a shadowy corner not far away, a phantom with a graceful figure, like a goddess of the dark night, slowly walked out, looking at you with a playful gaze...】

【"Hehehe, what an unromantic little fellow. However, you seem to be hiding quite a secret."】

【Although she spoke lightly, at this moment, the Ghoul-Eyed Empress looked at you with a hint more seriousness.】

【A mere little fellow who hadn't even reached the Celestial Human Realm was actually able to break through her illusion, kill one of her phantom Clones, and even possessed an Immortal Talisman! An Immortal Artifact!】

【This configuration seemed to be seriously over the standard.】

.....

"What's the situation? Liu Ruyue and Su Mei didn't come, but instead, the Ghoul-Eyed Empress, this forbidden-level Ghoul Empress, is here."

Lu Gan's eyes slightly changed. This was undoubtedly beyond his expectation.

Now, it seemed everything was in chaos.

Without Su Mei as a buffer, it was a direct face-to-face encounter between the two, which was not good.

Moreover, the other party seemed to be fixated on the 'verbal abuse' from the previous simulation Clone, attacking as soon as she arrived. This was not a good sign.

Could it be that instead of fighting the Old Old Guy, he would first battle a forbidden-level Ghoul Empress?!

"Is this guy crazy? She actually came to the Imperial Capital to kill me just because of a 'verbal abuse'? Is she not afraid of the Old Immortal in the Great Xia Imperial Palace?"

"However, from the previous villain simulation, it seems this guy dared to fight the Old Old Guy, so she doesn't seem to be afraid. Their strength might not be too far apart?"

.....

【"However, if you're only at this level, you can't kill a Land True Immortal!"】

【Facing the Ghoul-Eyed Empress's provocative and playful gaze, your expression sank, and you looked at her with cold eyes.】

【At this moment, you clearly sensed the terror of this Ghoul Empress, comparable to a Land True Immortal...】

【Just a slight move forced you to use several of your trump cards.】

【Moreover, you could feel that the other party didn't seem to be serious yet.】

【"Where is Liu Ruyue?" You questioned coldly.】

【Su Mei didn't come, but the Ghoul-Eyed Empress did. This meant that something unexpected happened to Liu Ruyue.】

【"Liu Ruyue? Are you talking about that True Immortal Sword Soul?" The Ghoul-Eyper Empress tilted her head, as if thinking, or perhaps licking her lips as if savoring a taste.】

【"Of course I ate her. Thank you, little fellow, for specially sending such delicious food to me. It has been a long time since I last ate the soul of a deity."】

【Liu Ruyue is dead?!】

【Your pupils constricted, the hand holding the Soul Devouring Demon Slayer Blade trembled slightly, your breathing quickened, and the already taut string began to snap...】

【At this moment, you didn't know whether you were angry about Liu Ruyue's death or angry about why things always seemed to lose control so easily...】

【"Hehehe, are you angry now!" Seeing you somewhat broken, the smile on the Ghoul-Eyed Empress's face grew wider, showing a bit of a prankster's attitude.】

【But the next moment, the smile on her face stiffened.】

【"So, Liu Ruyue was killed, and I didn't even see Su Mei? Did you specifically come to the Imperial Capital to kill me?"】

【Boom!】

【In her stunned gaze, your body began to swell, rapidly changing, transforming into a terrifying True Dragon capable of burning the heavens and earth...】

【Under the enhancement of extreme anger, the Dragon and Phoenix Posture was stimulated to its limit...】

【Your aura began to surge uncontrollably...】

【At this moment, the entire world began to be enveloped by your anger, shattering like glass...】

【The Ghoul-Eyed Empress's pupils constricted, feeling a chilling threat approaching...】

【"Then, you can die."】

.....

【Rumble!】

【Terrifying thunder erupted, instantly shattering the entire Imperial Capital, completely annihilating the Ghoul-Eyed Empress...】

【But strangely, after the entire sky shattered, what was revealed was a vast expanse of whiteness...】

【"This is an illusion!"】

【Your pupils constricted, realizing that you had fallen into some kind of illusion. You began to activate the Supreme Emperor Bone on your body, and a Supreme, overbearing aura began to revive...】

.....

【Lu Family.】

【You stood there as if lost, motionless, holding the Soul Devouring Demon Blade in your hand, clearly trapped in some kind of illusion...】

【The Nether Eye Clan are most skilled in mental manipulation and curses. They love to manipulate people's minds with illusions, turning their prey into slaves...】

【The Ghoul-Eyed Empress stood in front of you with a playful look, but in her eyes, there seemed to be some disappointment: "Is this all you've got? How boring. You don't even have the qualifications to fight that monster..."】

【"Break for me!"】

【Boom!】

【You, who were seemingly lost, suddenly erupted with a sharp light in your eyes, breaking through the illusion. The Soul Devouring Demon Slayer Blade in your hand turned into a stream of light, slashing towards the Ghoul-Eyed Empress who was close at hand...】

【Rip!】

【A deep bloody gash was instantly cut across her face, severing strands of hair, and she instantly froze in place...】

【"Now, do I have the qualifications!"】
