Jerry’s face changed on the car, as expected, they came.

This time, the ’robbers’ were not on the same level as the petty thieves from before. Even an ordinary person could tell that these people had obviously undergone serious training.

In less than five minutes, half of the British operatives were down. In panic, Jerry could only seek help from the Huaxia security personnel.

Unexpectedly, the Huaxia security personnel were all taken down just after one encounter. Without Xiao Tian’s assistance, their combat capability was indeed weaker.

Hidden in the shadows, Xiao Tian masked his face, transforming back into the appearance he had when he saved Peng Qi, and headed straight for Jerry’s car.

Seeing a dark-clad masked man charging towards him, Jerry was terrified and quickly called for help from Sea God beside him: "That masked man had a confrontation with Heizi before. According to Heizi, he was also injured, but be careful nonetheless!"

Sea God remained unmoved, ignoring Jerry’s warning.

Xiao Tian directly smashed the car window with his fist and opened the car door. Before Jerry could fire his gun, he knocked him out with a punch.

Sea God finally made a move, shouting coldly at Xiao Tian: "Looking for death!" and struck a palm towards him.

Xiao Tian didn’t dodge and met the palm with his fist, immediately sensing something strange. Sea God’s seemingly fierce palm strike lacked any strength.

When Xiao Tian hit, it felt like he was punching into cotton, or more like punching in water.

No, that’s not right!

Xiao Tian quickly realized the key point, it wasn’t that the opponent’s hand was weak but a different kind of force. If he had to describe it—it was resistance?

In the moment of his daze, Sea God suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Tian, and with their eyes meeting, Xiao Tian cursed inwardly: Damn it, could he be up against a pervert?

Since the opponent had come to him, Xiao Tian was no longer polite. Whether the opponent was a pervert or whatever, he directly threw a punch forward.

However, he did not notice that his punching speed was more than halved, and his vision went dark.

In a flash, the crossroads before him disappeared, replaced by a vast, endless sea, just like Heizi’s previous encounter.

"Whew!" Xiao Tian took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He had heard of this kind of illusion technique before, but it was his first time encountering it.

Xiao Tian concentrated hard, recalling the method to break the illusion while practicing the Calm Qi Technique to prevent himself from getting lost.

"Speak, how do you want to die?" Sea God’s cold voice resonated from all directions, sounding near yet far, and both existent and non-existent.

Xiao Tian closed his eyes, ignoring everything around him. Let the angry sea rage, I remain unmoved!

"Oh?" Sea God was somewhat surprised by Xiao Tian’s calmness and soon, for the first time, a smile appeared on his usually ice-cold face: "But this makes it interesting. It’s much better than those trash from before!"

He then began to seriously manipulate the Illusion Realm.

In the following period, Xiao Tian experienced various adversities, gale-force winds, giant waves, thunderstorms, and so on. Yet he just clung tightly to the dry wood in his arms, meditating like a monk in deep concentration.

"How is this possible?" Sea God opened his eyes in surprise; it was the first time someone remained so calm within his Illusion Realm.

Sea God’s eyes showed a hint of malice, employing the Forbidden Technique "Illusory Heart Reading". Once deployed, the flaws in Sea God’s Illusion Realm would be magnified several times, but its power would be far greater than now.

The power of "Illusory Heart Reading" is not external, but internal.

It reproduces the most despairing and painful aspects of a person’s heart within the Illusion Realm, and as long as they are human, they instinctively avoid pain.

Once Xiao Tian avoids his painful past, he will fall into the illusion and cannot extricate himself.

As the sound of the wind gradually stopped in his ears, Xiao Tian opened his eyes, looking at the blue sky, and muttered to himself: "Seems like the other side is about to make a big move!"

Just as he finished speaking, the scenery before him changed, no longer the vast ocean but a battlefield full of smoke and fire.

He was drenched in blood, holding Liu Hanyan in his arms.

Liu Hanyan was extremely weak at this moment, her crimson lips moving slightly as if trying to say something; her arm tried to lift up to touch Xiao Tian’s face, but trembled uncontrollably due to pain.

"No, don’t... feel sad... for me!"

Liu Hanyan’s voice was almost inaudible, but it reached Xiao Tian’s ears accurately.

Xiao Tian was dumbfounded, his eyes suddenly reddening, even though a sliver of clarity told him: none of this is real.

But looking down at the flawless face in his arms, she was still concerned about him even in death; regardless of the environment, he must not allow history to repeat itself.

With a god’s eye view, Sea God saw Xiao Tian getting deeper and deeper, the corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile: "Seems it’s nothing after all!"

Now, as long as there’s no external interference, Xiao Tian would be trapped in the illusion, discovering a flaw would be nearly impossible.

Before Xiao Tian could discover the flaw in the illusion, Sea God could easily order his men to kill Xiao Tian.

Sea God used the radio in his hand to order Heizi to kill Xiao Tian, then immediately focused his attention, afraid of any unexpected changes.

Heizi hurriedly responded to the order, but outside the car, both Xiao Tian and Sea God had their eyes closed tightly as if they were corpses.

Heizi’s heart stirred. Although Xiao Tian was nasty, this Sea God who almost killed him...?

Meanwhile, in the illusion, Xiao Tian suddenly stood up motionless, completely ignoring the flying bullets in front and Liu Hanyan losing vitality on the ground.

Sea God exclaimed in surprise, though he didn’t know what happened during his order to Heizi, surely some external force had interfered with his illusion.

Now he could only hope Heizi acts quickly, killing Xiao Tian before he wakes up!

Sea God guessed correctly; when he left the illusion, a barely noticeable mysterious energy entered the illusion.

Back to the moment before...

When Xiao Tian was about to prevent history from repeating and save Liu Hanyan, a girl’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear, unusually clear.

"Oni-chan~ Oni-chan~"

Xiao Tian was startled, this pronunciation?

Japanese?!

The single sentence from the little girl made Xiao Tian break out in a cold sweat, for if not for that voice, he would have been in dire straits by now.

But he couldn’t figure out the owner of the voice.

However, since he had seen through the illusion, it was time for him to take action. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Seeing Xiao Tian detect he was in an illusion, Sea God could no longer maintain his usual aloofness and hurriedly withdrew from the illusion.

Only to see Heizi had drawn a dagger, mocking him.

Cold sweat broke out on Sea God’s forehead, but he had to feign composure and said: "Why aren’t you doing it?"

Heizi raised the dagger but skipped over Xiao Tian, putting the dagger to Sea God’s neck: "My dear Sea God, isn’t this what you said yourself?"

Sea God was bursting with bitterness inside, yet he had to negotiate terms to placate Heizi.
