Chapter 630: Chapter 629: Shattering the Illusion
Klein had heard about a genius from the Cavendish family who possessed the Charming Eye, but regarding the Charming Eye, this legendary special talent, his understanding was not very extensive.
From the beginning, Klein had reserved a bit of caution for Monica, guarding against this woman using her Charming Eye, but once he saw Yang Fei’s strength, he could no longer afford to be distracted.
This youth from the Divine Continent who had killed Pusi in an instant was indeed a genius, worthy of his full effort.
Indeed, reality was as he had expected.
The young man’s strength was truly formidable, his Physical Body Realm power was almost on par with his own.
However, he hadn’t anticipated that when Willie went to kill Monica, he triggered her Charming Eye, and just by glancing at those crimson eyes, he fell into their trap, unable to extricate himself.
Yang Fei was also trapped by the Charming Eye.
This was the second time Yang Fei experienced the Charming Eye.
The first time was when he looked at Monica’s eyes, then Monica claimed she had passively activated the Charming Eye. At that time, Yang Fei felt as if he had seen an abyss, and then he suddenly sensed something terrifying gazing back at him within the abyss. When he startlingly woke up, he found that the time of a cup of tea had passed.
This time, however, Monica had actively used her Charming Eye, and he saw only her eyes before he was engulfed in a world of crimson.
A sea of blood-red fury, and in this world seemingly wrapped in a bloodbath, Yang Fei saw Willie and the Western middle-aged man he was exchanging blows with.
Blood fury transformed into countless blood worms, frantically devouring Willie’s body. In an instant, Willie’s body was riddled with holes, as countless dense, dark red worms burrowed into his flesh, gnawing away. In just a moment, bare bones could be seen, as organs were torn apart, and filth poured out, only to be devoured clean by those blood worms.
In just a few breaths, Willie became a mere blood-colored outline, and then that figure collapsed, turning into nothingness in the blink of an eye and vanishing without a trace.
His stomach churned, and despite having seen many big scenes, Yang Fei felt extremely uneasy at this moment, nearly vomiting.
Klein’s situation was the same as Yang Fei’s. He was first shocked, then became terrified, his throat moving as he threw up.
Then, the surrounding blood qi seemed to have found its next target and surged towards him.
Yang Fei felt his scalp tingle.
His first thought wasn’t to spectate but how to escape from this place.
Klein watched as the surging blood qi transformed into thousands of blood worms and devoured him, his whole body going numb, but he quickly realized something was amiss.
This was not reality.
"A mere illusion can’t trap me! Break!"
With a roar, Klein shouted loudly, swinging a palm to sweep across.
The blood-colored waves churned, seemingly split to both sides by the force of Klein’s palm.
But the next instant, even more blood worms surged towards him.
Klein’s eyes were filled with terror; he kept waving his arms, seemingly exerting a powerful force to keep sweeping these blood worms made of blood qi aside, but this was a world draped in blood. The blood worms were endless, regrouping as soon as they were dispersed.
Yang Fei watched, dumbfounded.
Was this an illusion or reality?
It should be an illusion.
But why did it feel so real?
Wait, first it was Willie, then Klein, didn’t that mean it was his turn next?
A feeling of apprehension surged through Yang Fei, as if he had suddenly awoken and decided to flee.
He looked around, only to find that blood walls surrounded him, blood within reach.
He dared not touch these blood worms, fearing that once he did, he would provoke a swarm.
This was an illusion, the world of Monica’s Charming Eye.
Yang Fei took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He remembered that was how he had escaped from the Charming Eye before.
However, when he opened his eyes again, he was still enveloped in the blood-colored world.
Couldn’t escape?
Monica had said that the last time she activated the Charming Eye was passive, activated by Yang Fei’s gaze.
Or to put it another way, Yang Fei had actively entered and exited her Charming Eye.
But this time was different; he was passive.
So, am I trapped?
Yang Fei was internally shocked and slightly anxious.
He wasn’t afraid because he felt that Monica probably wouldn’t harm him.
At least, since entering the illusion, both Power and the middle-aged man had been attacked, while he had not.
Clearly, the consensus on cooperation they had reached earlier stopped Monica from attacking him.
But this feeling of being under someone else’s control made Yang Fei very uncomfortable.
He had to leave.
"Pfft!"
Blood worms were slapped into bloody powder, and Klein found himself in an endless sea of trouble.
However, his strength was indeed formidable, the myriad of blood worms enveloping him couldn’t get close to his body, always repelled by a layer of Gang Qi.
And as time passed, the overwhelming bloody aura seemed to become much weaker.
As Klein swept away the surrounding blood worms once more, a brief void appeared in this blood-red world.
It seemed as if a rift had been torn in the entire bloody world.
But that void was instantly filled up with bloody aura again.
Klein, however, noticed this and, with bright eyes, laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I said it, this mere illusion can’t imprison me."
Buzz!
The bloody aura writhed, and a giant face emerged in front of Yang Fei.
It was Monica.
"Help me!"
The giant face opened its mouth, seemingly uttering a phrase.
The words ’help me’ appeared in Yang Fei’s mind.
His heart stirred, and he quickly rushed towards Klein.
Klein believed he had found a breakthrough, but Yang Fei’s sudden assault forced him to commit all his efforts.
Palm against palm, it felt as if they were fighting in reality, solid and tangible.
Surrounding bloody qi surged, and the whole blood-red world shuddered constantly with the clash of the two.
"Kid, both of us are trapped in this illusion, with our lives and deaths at that girl’s whim. Why not join forces first, then settle our fight once we’re out?" Klein shouted loudly.
Yang Fei ignored him and continued to attack.
Matching each other in strength, and with Yang Fei focused solely on the entanglement, Klein couldn’t distract himself to break through the blood-red world’s cover, so he could only fight Yang Fei with all his might.
Inside the collapsing building.
Many of the hotel guests and staff members, who were unintended victims, frantically scattered, but some bold and curious onlookers came over to watch the excitement.
When their gaze met Monica’s crimson eyes, one after another, they stood still like they were under a spell, their expression blank, looking foolish.
Monica also stood still, not moving an inch.
Willie lay in a pool of blood; he had torn countless gashes into his own body, bleeding profusely, yet was unaware, his eyes only showing deep terror.
Yang Fei and Klein also stood rigidly, both looking towards Monica, their gazes locked with Monica’s blood-red eyes.
Monica’s body suddenly trembled, and then, sweating profusely, she seemed to be enduring an unbearable, immense pain.
Gradually, her face paled, she gasped for breath, and her entire body shook uncontrollably, like she was sifting chaff.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a mouthful of blood sprayed from Monica’s mouth, her bloodshot eyes gradually lost their color, returning to normal.
Simultaneously, lucidity returned to the dull eyes of Yang Fei and Klein.
Klein grunted, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, but upon opening his eyes, he didn’t attack Yang Fei or Monica, instead, he quickly rushed out of the building.
