Chapter 102: Crystal Illusion

  Xu La glanced around and saw that the other three generals did not appear to be defeated. He turned around and charged towards Jiu Jiao Mo Ren, wanting to lend a helping hand to Tie Mian Xue Shen.

  "You're courting death, kid." Lou Jia was suppressed by the Iron-faced Blood God and was already filled with rage. Now facing Xiula, he showed no mercy, sweeping his fist to dispel all of Xiula's attacks. Then, with his left hand, he struck at Xiula's chest. If Xiula were hit, the consequences would be dire.

  Xiū lā cannot avoid, Tiě miàn xuè shén hastily strikes out, countless wolf claws fall down, wanting to make Lóu jiā give up attacking Xiū lā. However, Lóu jiā seems to have made up his mind, his entire body's magic energy greatly surges, and he doesn't care about Tiě miàn xuè shén's attack, still striking towards Xiū lā.

  "Gritting his teeth, 'Sacred Armor!' A flash of golden light, and the Mountain Luo's Sacred Armor instantly enveloped Shura's entire body. In Lou Jia's astonished expression, a single punch landed on Shura, producing only the sound of iron hammers clashing. Shura let out a sweet cry, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood as he was sent flying far away. However, at the same time, his sword also left several gashes on Lou Jia's hand. The Iron-Faced Blood God's claws easily tore through Lou Jia's protective magical aura, clawing out several bloody marks on his body."

  After landing a hit, Tiě Miàn Xuè Shén didn't press his advantage and instead flashed to Xiū Lā's side "How is it?"

  After Shura put on the Sacred Armor, his defensive ability greatly increased. The Nine-Headed Demon's attack was strong, but it couldn't take Shura's life, and he only suffered minor injuries.

  The Iron-Faced Blood God took a look and, after confirming that Shula was fine, praised him with a sentence: "Ah, this is indeed a good thing, unfortunately you seem to have not yet unleashed the true power of this armor."

  "I know that one day I will succeed." Shula stood up, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the demon.

  Lou Jia had already suffered a serious injury and it was clear that he would no longer be able to fight against the Iron-Faced Blood God again. "Heh heh, Iron-Faced Blood God, I've seen your strength, so let's meet again next time, retreat." As soon as the words fell, Lou Jia's body turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared on the spot, while the other few demons also forced their opponents to open up and quickly left.

  "Stop chasing." The Iron-faced Blood God looked at the crowd, fortunately, no one was seriously injured. "I didn't expect that there would be a Nine-cornered Magic Man participating in the battle, too careless."

  After helping the madman bandage his wound, Ice walked over and said "Captain, why do the demons want to obtain the magic core so badly? For them, light-based powers are not suitable energies to use, right?"

  "It's true that the power of light isn't suitable for demons to use, but it's been decades since the last demon invasion. Who knows what progress they've made over the years? Maybe they've found a way to harness the power of light, but no matter what, we can't let them get their hands on it."

  "Yes."

  At this time, Shura's injury was no longer serious. The iron-faced blood god nodded "Alright, let's go. No matter what, we must find that Garo before the demon people do now. Our goal is simple: protect the light core. By the way, you don't know where Miss Garo is either?"

  "I don't know." Shura shook his head. "Since half an hour ago, I haven't been able to sense Miss Gallo's presence at all. It's as if something has isolated her, and she's completely disappeared."

  "Is that so... It doesn't seem like a masterpiece of the demon king." The Iron-faced Blood God sighed, "I hope nothing goes wrong."

  The sighs of Tiě Miàn Xuè Shén had no effect on Jiāluó's current mood, as she was filled with immense joy and delight at this moment.

  For her, there was nothing better than having Bing Yue by her side. She felt happy, excited and satisfied. The coldness on Galen's face had disappeared, replaced by unparalleled tenderness.

  "Brother." Bingyue ran over, a drink in her hand. "Don't rush, don't run, be careful not to fall."

  "How could you say that, brother? Can't you see me?"

  "Haha, of course not! Come on, wipe your sweat."

  Two people sat on a wooden chair by the river, gazing at the beautiful river surface, leisurely drinking their drinks, everything was so quiet and wonderful.

  "I'm so happy, brother. It would be great if you could always be like this with me." Bing Yue lazily leaned against Galo's body.

  "Ah, yeah, it's really comfortable."

  "So, brother, promise me, stay with me forever, okay? In this beautiful place, we'll never be apart, okay?" Bing Yue looked up at Jaro.

  "Of course, I and Bingyue will never be apart..." Suddenly, Jia Luo felt a tremble in his heart, as if something had flashed by, and he involuntarily stopped speaking, covering his chest with his hand.

  The place where I touched was soft, and when Gallo raised his hand, a beautiful white hand like jade appeared. Ah, yes, I had already transformed into a female body, but what exactly was this thing in front of me now?

  Everything suddenly became chaotic, and Gallo felt an unprecedented confusion in his mind. Where was he now? The real world or the virtual world? If it was the real world, then how could everything here appear, and why did Bingyue come back to life? But if it was a virtual world, then that meant the Bingyue in front of him was...

  No, Jiarong forced himself not to think about it anymore. He really couldn't bear this reality. Bingyue looked at him, "Brother, what's wrong?"

  Brother... These two words seem to have a deep magic, making Garo forget what he was thinking of saying "Nothing, Ice Moon, we will always be together..." Before he could finish speaking, that feeling came again!

  At the same time, a faint voice came over "Miss Jiāluó." It was Bái Kě!

  Then one by one the voices came over, Shula, Luo, Sha Na, Keluna, and Meng's voice. Galo fiercely hugged his head "Shut up! Don't bother me anymore!"

  In an instant, all sounds disappeared, leaving only Yuki's worried gaze at herself "Brother, are you okay?"

  Karo's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, she had no idea what to do. She had never been so lost in her life before. Now, she only had two choices: one, acknowledge that this was the real world, and then she could abandon everything and live forever with Bingyue; but if she did that, she would have to give up all her companions, those who had shared life and death with her. The other choice was to acknowledge that this was a virtual world, in which case everything would be destroyed, including the Bingyue in front of her.

  Slowly lifting his head, he looked at Bing Yue's familiar face. Jia Luo fell silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth to say, "Bing Yue, tell me, what is this place?"

  Bing Yue looked puzzled "Brother, this is Xiao Yu River, why are you asking?"

  "I know this is Xiao Yu River, and I also want to force myself to accept it here. But Bing Yue, my rationality tells me that everything is wrong. You died in front of me back then, the pain of which I can never forget. The one I like is Bing Yue, a real, flesh-and-blood Bing Yue, a Bing Yue full of love and tenderness. And I have my own companions who are waiting for my return, so..."

  "So, you don't believe I'm Bingyue, right?" The Bingyue in front of him suddenly burst into tears, with tears falling down like pearls. "Brother, you're so cruel!" Bingyue stood up and ran away immediately.

  "Bing Yue!" At this moment, Jia Luo's heart was in a mess again, her previous rationality seemed to have disappeared, she hurriedly chased after him, but Bing Yue's figure soon disappeared.

  "Alas." He let out a sigh, and Galo walked slowly, his memories seeming to be all jumbled up, becoming incredibly strange. Many things he should have remembered couldn't be recalled, but his memories of Ice Moon seemed to have been magnified countless times.

  Suddenly, the scene in front of me changed suddenly, turning into a beautiful maple forest.

  "This is..." Galuo would never forget that this was where he and Bingyue used to come, gently stroking every tree, leaving countless beautiful memories here.

  "Right, if it's here... there should be..." Gallo quickened his pace and walked forward, crossing over the largest tree, a small clearing appeared before him, and in that place, another figure was crouching.

  It was Ice Moon, at this moment, she was using a small trowel to dig the ground, and after a while, she exclaimed and took out a small plastic can from the soil.

  She turned around and suddenly saw Gallo, rushed over, with a lot of mud on her body, face, and hands. She held out the plastic can like a treasure and asked "Brother, do you still remember what this is?"

  Of course, I remember it. How could I not? Ka Luo gently took over the watering can. This was something that he and Bing Yue had buried in a moment of excitement several years ago, containing countless memories and the beauty of their childhood.

  "This is what we buried back then, you said to wait until we grow up and dig it out again, and only the two of us know about it. Can't this prove that I'm really Bing Yue? Brother." The girl's face was filled with a sweet smile.

  Jia Luo didn't say a word, quietly opened the can, inside there were many things, several pieces of already hardened mud, these were the small clay people they made back then, several colorful paper scraps, these were the art homework from before, several small cards with beautiful pictures, these were the game cards the two played together, one deflated balloon, empty candy wrappers, and also, two envelopes, one blue and one pink.

  Picked up the pink envelope, Gallo deeply looked at Bingyue, slowly tore it open, and took out the white letter inside.

  "What's wrong, brother?" Yuki looked at Goro curiously.

  Jia Luo lifted her head, tears slowly falling "Why, I wanted to believe that all of this was real, but what you brought me was the shattering of hope."

  Bing Yue was stunned "Brother, why are you saying this? Haven't I already proven it? Isn't this can only known to us?"

  A gentle breeze blew by, lifting the letter paper in Galo's hand. The white paper fluttered and floated gently to the ground. Yueliang looked over and saw that it was blank.

  "Soul alchemy, emotional simulation..." Galo sighed "Although I can see everything you think in my mind, unfortunately you failed. I don't know what Bingyue wrote on this paper back then, because we agreed that only when it's opened can we see what the other person wrote, so you won't be able to write out the contents of this paper either."

  "In front of me, Bing Yue's body began to emit a white glow. 'Although I don't know who you are, thank you for giving me such a happy moment, thank you.'"

  Yin Yue smiled and glanced at Jia Luo, nodded slightly, then her entire body turned into countless light spots and disappeared in the air.

  "Wait for me, Bing Yue, I will definitely save you."
