Fang Yu looked down and found that the roasted sweet potato in his hand had become a strange-shaped white plant.
Luckily, it wasn’t anything disgusting.
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hey, old hag, what’s this?” Fang Yu looked up and asked.
At this moment, the person standing before him could no longer be called an old woman.
To call it a monster would be an understatement.
Her hair stood on end, her eyes bulged, nearly popping out of their sockets, bloodshot and wild.
Her mouth gaped open, revealing sharp, pointed fangs and a long tongue like that of a venomous snake.
The surrounding eerie atmosphere, plus the two pythons tightly wrapped around his feet.
Most people would probably faint at the sight of such a scene.
So, seeing Fang Yu ask this question so calmly, the originally ferocious old woman was taken aback.
“No, he shouldn’t be able to stand after that. He should at least have his legs go weak and be crying!”
Could it be… her illusions didn’t work!?
No, if it didn’t work, Fang Yu wouldn’t have asked her what was in her hands!
“This is the deadly white deathcap mushroom. It contains deadly poison. You’ve already eaten half of it, and you’ll be dead within thirty seconds!” The old woman opened her mouth wide and rasped.
Fang Yu looked at the poisonous mushroom in his hand, his eyes calm.
When he was disillusioned with life, he had at least tried over a hundred ways to commit suicide.
Among them, poisoning was his favorite method.
He had experienced everything from arsenic to red mercury, even corpse poison.
But these poisons that are seen by the world have no effect on Fang Yu at all.
After a moment of silence, Fang Yu looked at the old woman in front of him and asked, “It’s been thirty seconds, why haven’t I died yet?”
The old woman was taken aback again.
Fang Yu plays completely against the norm!
If he believed he held a lethal white poison umbrella, he should have died instantly!
Why is he still completely unharmed?
The old woman came to her senses, opened her mouth wide, and roared angrily: “I don’t need to wait for the poisonous mushrooms to take effect. I’ll eat you first!”
The old woman’s mouth gaped open, even bigger than a human skull!
“Stop!”
At this moment, a crisp and tender female voice rang out.
The moment that sound appeared, the surrounding scenery changed.
The old woman, who had looked like a monster before, was back to her original kind and gentle appearance.
The snake at his feet had vanished.
He stood on an abandoned old street, surrounded by silence. There were no other pedestrians around.
And in his hand, he indeed held a half-eaten roasted sweet potato.
It is obvious now that the scenes we saw before were the true illusions.
Fang Yu turned his head and saw a young girl in a white dress standing on the street not far away, holding a sword in her hand.
She looks to be about eight or nine years old, with baby fat on her cheeks and a sweet, innocent face.
However, her expression was very serious, her dark eyes shining with determination.
Upon seeing his younger sister-in-law, Fang Yu’s expression shifted subtly.
This little girl gives him a very familiar feeling.
This familiarity, out of the blue.
From his looks, he was very sure he had never seen this girl before.
And when it comes to age, this is even more so.
This girl is at most eight years old. Fang Yu could never have met her before.
Apart from the sense of familiarity, the cultivation aura emanating from the little girl also surprised Fang Yu.
She actually possesses the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment period! To put it in today’s terms, this young girl is a martial arts grandmaster.
The title “master” applied to a girl who was barely eight years old seemed very strange.
“Phantom Demon Old Woman! I’ve finally found you!” the little girl shouted, rushing towards the old woman selling roasted sweet potatoes.
The old woman’s face changed, and she waved her long sleeves.
“Wow…”
A thick black fog rose.
Fang Yu frowned slightly and took a step back, dodging the black mist.
But the little girl, she just rushed into the black mist with a long sword in hand.
“Illusion Demon Granny, you have used your illusions to slaughter so many people in this area. Today I will definitely bring you to justice and send you to the Heavenly Prison for judgment!” The young girl shouted loudly even after charging into the black mist.
“Little girl, do you think you can discipline me? How laughable!” The Phantom Elder Witch let out a strange laugh.
The black mist still lingered, slowly engulfing an area of dozens of meters.
Fang Yu retreated to a location not shrouded in black mist, continuing to eat the remaining half of his roasted sweet potato while keeping an eye on the situation within the black mist.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Inside the black mist, there came sounds of crashing and fighting.
“Phantom Demon Matriarch, today you can’t escape!” the little girl’s voice echoed.
“Little girl, you…” The tone of the Demon Old Woman was obviously shocked, and she began to panic.
“Boom!”
Then, another deafening roar echoed from the black mist.
“Ah…”
The screams of the old hag, Hualuo, echoed out.
“I’ll fight you to the death!” The Humen Elder seemed to have gone mad, roaring loudly.
“Bring it on!” the little girl’s voice remained firm.
“Bang!”
Another muffled thud echoed, followed by silence from the black mist.
At this time, Fang Yu had also finished eating the roasted sweet potato in his hand.
The black fog gradually dissipated, revealing the street’s original appearance once again.
Fang Yu saw the little girl standing in the middle of the street, panting, while the old woman was lying at her feet.
Her hand holding the sword, and her face, were both splattered with blood.
Fang Yu looked at her, his eyes filled with growing surprise.
This little girl is really amazing.
Not only is he highly skilled, but he is also very courageous.
Although the Illusory Demon granny only had the cultivation of the 12th layer of Qi Refining, which is equivalent to half a step Grandmaster, she was able to defeat the Illusory Demon granny in that black mist. This shows that her practical combat skills are also very strong.
When Fang Yu was deep in thought, the little girl turned around and looked at him, asking.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Fang Yu replied.
“You’re lucky to have run into me. Otherwise, you would have met a nasty end. This old hag is a demon cultivator. She often appears on these deserted streets, using illusions to kill people and then draining their fresh blood for sustenance.” The little girl said.
Having said that, the little girl looked at Fang Yu again, puzzled and said: “You just seemed to be trapped in an illusion, but you seem to be completely fine? According to past experiences, people who were hit by the old woman’s magic illusion would die very quickly.”
Fang Yu shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
But actually, Fang Yu was very clear.
Illusions kill by exploiting the mindset of those trapped in the situation.
Highly skilled illusionists, they can create incredibly realistic scenarios that make those trapped in the illusions believe completely that everything happening around them is real.
Once this state of mind arises, then everything in the dream world will truly become real.
For example, if Fang Yu truly believed that the thing in his hand was the deadly white poison umbrella, then his body would have shown symptoms after ingesting it.
But Fang Yu didn’t believe it, of course, and even if he did, it wouldn’t matter.
At first, when the old witch used illusion to change the scenery, Fang Yu was indeed taken aback and didn’t react.
But seeing the roasted sweet potatoes in his hand turn into poisonous mushrooms, and looking up again to see the monstrous old woman before him, he knew that everything before him was false.
The Phantom Elder’s illusory magic was too shallow. In the illusion, both her appearance and the surrounding scenery were too over-the-top.
A normal person might be scared to death, but for Fang Yu, it’s just like watching a low-quality horror movie.
Fang Yu looked at the oven next to him, on which were still a few roasted sweet potatoes.
He then walked over, wanting to eat all the remaining roasted sweet potatoes.
“Hey, what are you doing!?” The little girl saw Fang Yu walking towards the stove and asked loudly.
“These roasted sweet potatoes are pretty good, don’t waste them.” Fangyu said, reaching out to grab a roasted sweet potato.
“These sweet potatoes can’t be eaten!” The little girl stomped her foot and walked forward, stopping Fang Yu.
“Do you know how you fell under the illusion? It’s because of the smell of these roasted sweet potatoes! This is a common trick used by the Illusionist Grandma, she uses the scent of food to lure people into an illusion! You’re still eating! Do you want to die!” The little girl said angrily.
“It’s mainly because I’m hungry.” Fangyu replied.
“If you’re hungry, just buy some normal food to eat. You absolutely can’t eat these roasted sweet potatoes!” the little girl said firmly.
