The figure, like a wisp of smoke, slipped through the crack in the door.
Then, in front of Qin Xuan, the figure rapidly expanded and lunged towards him.
“How detestable.”
Qin Xuan shook his head, feeling a bit helpless.
These people were truly too much!
One came, and that was bad enough, but then another one came!
Qin Xuan snorted. He happened to want to test the power of his new High Grade Magical Artifact.
“Clang!”
The blood-colored longsword instantly struck out, slashing towards the figure.
The Azure Dragon Nine Slashes immediately landed on the figure.
However, to Qin Xuan's surprise, after he unleashed that sword strike, the figure in front of him vanished instantly, as if it were an illusion.
“This!”
Qin Xuan was stunned, completely unprepared for such a situation.
At the same time, the figure dispersed and then reassembled, rushing towards Qin Xuan.
“An illusion?”
Qin Xuan was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.
He had set up a Formation here. What kind of illusion could affect him?
Could it be some hallucinogenic substance that had reached his room?
But that shouldn’t be!
Qin Xuan took a deep breath.
Normally, if there were any illusions, as long as he had the Refining God Cauldron, these things would be completely refined by the Refining God Cauldron.
Although the figure rushing over was humanoid, it had no face.
“Courting death!”
Seeing the figure still charging, Qin Xuan unleashed another sword strike.
This time, his sword strike passed directly through the figure, having almost no effect on it.
No!
Qin Xuan’s heart stirred. This assassin was a Mental Energy body!
Normally, ordinary people couldn't clearly perceive Mental Energy body attacks.
However, Qin Xuan’s Mental Energy was already powerful enough, so he naturally discovered this Mental Energy body through his Mental Energy.
“Very good. You people actually created something like a Mental Energy body. Interesting!”
To create a Mental Energy body, an enormous amount of Mental Energy is required.
The Zhao family had already been cleared of people, so this Mental Energy body definitely wasn't from the Zhao family; it must be someone else.
Thus, Qin Xuan naturally had a good guess as to who it was.
“It seems that Lu Peng made his move.”
Qin Xuan frowned, his evaluation of Lu Peng rising in his mind.
Previously, he thought this Lu Peng merely had some issues.
But from the current situation, the power behind Lu Peng was probably even more terrifying.
Such Mental Energy was not something ordinary Disciples could achieve.
As Qin Xuan was pondering, the Mental Energy body lunged towards him.
Qin Xuan merely snorted, raised his hands, and a strange glint appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Mystic Transformation Art!”
Whispering softly, Qin Xuan’s hands seemed to have vortices constantly spinning.
“No!”
The Mental Energy body let out a scream. One could tell it was Lu Peng’s voice.
“Transform for me!”
Qin Xuan roared. The Mystic Transformation Art began to frantically tear at the Mental Energy body. In just a moment, the Mental Energy body was swallowed by Qin Xuan, transforming into nourishment for his own Mental Energy.
Just as Qin Xuan refined this Mental Energy, in the foremost wooden huts, Lu Peng, with black smoke constantly drifting from his head, was clutching his head, writhing in pain on the ground.
After a while, he tremblingly took out a few Medicinal Pills and swallowed them in one go.
It was a long time before he recovered.
“Damn it!”
Lu Peng clutched his head, his face filled with dread.
He hadn't expected Qin Xuan’s Mental Energy to be so powerful, enough to discover his Mental Energy body.
Not only that, the Mental Energy body he had formed with one-third of his Mental Energy had just lost contact with him.
Although he didn't know what had happened to his Mental Energy body, he knew it was as good as gone.
“It shouldn’t be!”
Lu Peng shook his head forcefully.
“My powerful Mental Energy has its reasons, but how can a young man who has only lived for a few years have such powerful Mental Energy? It’s not normal, too abnormal!”
“Could it be that he, like me, was ordered to act here?”
Lu Peng kept scratching his head, almost at a loss.
“Forget it, this kid can’t be touched for now. I’ll just carry out my mission. As long as he doesn’t interfere, there’s no need to make an enemy of him.”
After pondering for a long time, Lu Peng clenched his fists, and black smoke once again billowed from his head.
At the same time, a new Mental Energy body appeared before him.
“Go, see what’s going on with Zhou Keli. If necessary, devour his Mental Energy and then return.”
After giving his orders, Lu Peng sat down cross-legged.
On the other side, Qin Xuan was also clutching his head at this moment.
After absorbing this Mental Energy body, Qin Xuan’s Mental Energy surged again.
After this surge, Qin Xuan could clearly feel that his Mental Energy seemed to have reached a critical point, on the verge of a qualitative change.
This feeling of Mental Energy being so full that it almost burst his head made him very uncomfortable.
He tried to refine this Mental Energy using the Mystic Transformation Art.
But when he slightly circulated the Mystic Transformation Art, the intense pain in his mind immediately doubled.
“Ah!”
The intense pain almost suffocated Qin Xuan. The severe headache made it difficult for him to resist.
“No, if this continues, I’ll go crazy myself, without anyone else needing to kill me.”
Although his previous Mental Energy was powerful, this rash Devour of the Mental Energy separated by Lu Peng was like a person eating far more than his appetite could handle, making it impossible to digest in a short time.
“Refine for me!”
Qin Xuan roared, and then began to frantically refine this Mental Energy with the Mystic Transformation Art.
As he continuously refined, while the intense pain struck, he also tried to forcibly absorb all of this Mental Energy.
“Boom!”
Just then, Qin Xuan felt a violent tremor in his mind.
Countless Mental Energy fragments surged from all directions towards the center of his mind.
Then all the Mental Energy fragments formed a Mental Energy vortex.
Below this vortex, a black Mental Energy lake was continuously forming.
Knife-like pain emanated from his mind.
Under this pain, Qin Xuan finally completely fainted.
