Chapter 134: 104. With Liu Ruoxue in the Royal Rear Garden...
Escape! Escape! Escape!!!
Within the royal city, three figures like shooting stars swiftly fled towards the sleeping chambers of the third prince.
They raced through the wind and rain, indifferent to the drizzle soaking their exquisitely tailored Fish-Dragon Official Robes, which had cost them a fortune from the city's finest tailor.
Usually, even a speck of dust would upset them greatly, let alone rain, but at this moment, such feelings had vanished.
In their panic, they failed to notice that the scenery before them seemed distorted.
In their view, they were running in all directions, but what they didn't realize was that what they saw and perceived were entirely different.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Illusory Realm.
Regrettably, given Xu Yuan's current soul cultivation, he could only influence cultivators at the early stages of Core Formation.
If it were mid-stage Core Formation or higher, he would find himself somewhat lacking.
However, if Lin Qingque were to exert influence, with her Heart Voice ability, even cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage might not be able to see through the illusion.
After carefully arranging Liu Ruoxue's hair and clothes, Xu Yuan wrapped his arms around her waist and embraced her, whispering softly, "Let's go, I'll take you to kill someone."
"Okay."
Liu Ruoxue found nothing inappropriate about his words; her lips slightly curved, radiant as ripples on a lake in spring.
All she felt now was a fierce joy in her heart.
The two leapt up like a pair of sea eagles spiraling towards the ground, their claws interlocked in the air.
After circling round, the trio realized not only had they not returned to the sleeping chambers, but they had come before Xu Yuan again, which also seemed to bring some enlightenment.
The three exchanged glances, and the middle-aged eunuch with the hooked nose took a deep breath, puffing up his cheeks as if about to shout loudly.
In the blink of an eye, he had thought of a plan.
This mysterious man could alter their perception of directions, preventing their return, but could he also change their cognition so they couldn't shout out loud?
The Illusory Realm indeed couldn't alter their cognition, and neither could Xu Yuan.
But to prevent him from making a noise didn't necessarily require altering his cognition.
Xu Yuan did not underestimate them simply because they were at the early stages of Core Formation. As the man opened his mouth, Xu Yuan's abdomen slightly contracted, and the next moment, a green flash shot from his mouth like a bullet, piercing the man's throat at a speed beyond ordinary understanding.
It was the Jade Foot Sword Qi.
However, unlike before, after his exchange with the Purple Bamboo Sword Spirit Si Shuang that night, his Jade Foot Sword Qi had indeed achieved a breakthrough.
The Jade Foot Sword Qi that it mimicked before had a somewhat vague and illusory appearance, but now it had neared perfection, resembling a full, rounded jade foot in exquisite detail.
It was just a bit deformed, as if drawn using AI technology from a previous life, resembling neither Si Shuang's nor Tian Liuli's.
Xu Yuan faintly felt that this Jade Foot Sword Qi, although seemingly only a step away from perfection, still had significant room for improvement.
The true state of perfection should involve him holding the feet of all the beauties in his mouth, able to mimic any one of them correctly,
And moreover, the mimicked Jade Foot Sword Qi would also carry the grace and artistic conception of that person, and only then would this sword move truly be completed.
"Uh!?"
The eunuch's eyes widened in disbelief, clutching the sudden wound in his neck.
After all, he was at the early stage of Core Formation, and the youth before him was only at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. From his aura, it wasn't hard to tell that he had been through a fierce battle before coming here, yet he couldn't even see the other's sword clearly.
If the target had been aimed at his head or heart just now, wouldn't he be dead?
The hooked-nose eunuch thought frantically to himself.
Luckily, for a cultivator who had reached the Core Formation stage, injuries elsewhere were not much of a concern as long as the brain or heart was not destroyed.
"Quick, escape!"
As he transmitted this thought through Divine Sense, he fiercely pushed the other two forwards.
Then, with a fierce expression, he declared loud, "Don't blame me, blame yourselves for not being ruthless enough."
Watching the hooked-nose man, unaware under the effect of the Illusory Realm that he had pushed the two forwards while he himself charged forward, Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with Sword Qi, and the Thunderfire Sword unleashed its full force.
The two were currently within the royal palace. Although the Illusory Realm could somewhat cover his actions, causing too much commotion would still be problematic.
Therefore, Xu Yuan had to end the battle quickly.
It was at this moment that the hooked-nose also belatedly remembered this.

However, he did not give up resisting, his palms suddenly shining with a blazing light.
"Hmph! Want to escape? Lightning... no, Jade Foot Sword Qi!"
Xu Yuan's gaze did not fall on him but locked onto the two who had been pushed away.
As for the hooked-nose, he didn't want to kill him yet.
Some things still needed to be asked from him.
Two streaks of emerald-green Jade Foot Sword Qi, under the cover of the Illusory Realm, swiftly penetrated the two men who had yet to react, filled with exhilaration as they fled.
If the three of them had banded together instead of running away, they might have been able to delay a little longer, possibly waiting for reinforcements.
