Chapter 13

"This is in a dream!"

Lu Fang said this sentence as if he had opened some kind of "switch" valve, and he immediately remembered everything.

They were attacked by a Beyond Ninth Rank Demon King on the Wujiang River, and two Great Scholars came to rescue them.

He and Li Yu could not withstand the influence of the Semi-Sage ink treasure and the Quasi-Demon Venerable supreme treasure, and they encountered Ying Li while fleeing.

Li Yu, in her injured state, unleashed the Great Scholar ink treasure to beat back Ying Li, and then Lu Fang took her and fled for their lives.

And then... they entered a mountain cave and fell asleep?

But why is this dream... so strange!

"We are in a dream!"

Li Yu, who was gnawing on dry rations in the cabin, suddenly shouted as well and hurried out. She also remembered everything.

Lu Fang and Li Yu looked at each other, and their backs felt cold at the same time. What kind of situation was this? Where could a dream be this real?

"What's going on?"

Lu Fang asked the question first.

Li Yu's expression was uncertain, and she suddenly struck out, punching Lu Fang on the nose.

"Ouch, ouch..."

Lu Fang covered his nose, shocked. Why would he feel pain in a dream? Could it be that it wasn't a dream, but...

"It's right that it hurts!"

A playful voice rang out.

He saw a person with wings on his back appear out of thin air above the Wujiang River, the "Black Mist" demon mark on his face and neck shining brightly.

"It's you!"

Li Yu recognized the demon, and her face sank.

Lu Fang also frowned. This must be a dream, because they couldn't be on the Wujiang River now, and the Ink Brush Realm had also appeared here.

But if it were a dream, why were Li Yu and Ying Li also here? Being hit would hurt, but they wouldn't wake up...

"I said that even if you weren't injured, you wouldn't be my match."

Ying Li landed on the water triumphantly.

Li Yu's expression changed, and she hesitated:

"I once read a record in an ancient book that there was once a Demon Venerable 'Dream Demon King' among the demon race who awakened the ancient 'Nightmare' bloodline and could kill people in their dreams, but was later beheaded by 'Sage Zhuang' in a dream."

"If I am not mistaken, the demon mark on your face should be the brand of the Dream Demon King."

"Hahaha... you guessed right!" Ying Li stroked the demon mark on his face, his expression somewhat arrogant.

To be recognized by a wisp of the remnant thought of the Demon Venerable "Dream Demon King" and have a brand left behind, even among the many geniuses of the demon race, was a unique existence.

If he didn't have the qualifications to be arrogant, who would?

"I'll give you two choices: die! Or become my human pet!"

Ying Li had an inexplicable obsession and excitement about taking the daughter of a Great Scholar of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a human pet.

"Noisy!"

Li Yu snorted coldly and stretched out her palm. The Great Scholar ink treasure, the square inkstone, did not appear. Not only could the ink treasure not be summoned, but she couldn't even use her Haoran Zhengqi.

"Hahaha... do you feel helpless? In the 'Nightmare World,' you can't even use Haoran Zhengqi. Are you afraid?"

Ying Li's mouth curled up crazily. Seeing Li Yu still making futile attempts to use Haoran Zhengqi, he sneered:

"Don't waste your energy. As long as your rank is not higher than mine, once you are pulled into the 'Nightmare World' by me, you are at my mercy."

As if to prove he had this strength, Ying Li raised his hand, and the heavens and earth shook. A mountain peak several dozen zhang away not far from them rose from the ground.

The magnificent and spectacular giant mountain peak flew lightly above Ying Li like a paper kite.

Li Yu couldn't even use Haoran Zhengqi here, but Ying Li could easily "levitate" and capture a mountain peak of several dozen zhang.

Rumble!

Ying Li threw it casually, and the giant mountain peak smashed into the Wujiang River, forcibly blocking the river on both sides of the mountain.

"Have you ever seen the Yellow River water falling from the sky!"

Ying Li was like a performer with an audience, spreading the wings behind his back and looking up at the sky.

Splash!

The black-clouded sky poured out the surging and magnificent Yellow River water, like a huge waterfall submerging and destroying the entire Mount Luojia and the Wujiang River.

This scene was truly shocking, making people feel how small humans were in the face of the power of heaven and earth.

"Hmm... truly wonderful!"

Ying Li was very satisfied with the devastated masterpiece before him, especially seeing the shocked expressions of Li Yu and Lu Fang, he felt refreshed all over.

"A Fifth-Rank demon shouldn't be able to cause this situation, right?" Lu Fang asked uncertainly.

"Normally speaking, a Fifth-Rank demon cannot do these things."

Li Yu said firmly.

Lu Fang hesitated and said uncertainly:

"In other words, he used power similar to that in a dream. Since it is power in a dream, can we also use it?"

"No."

Li Yu gave the answer.

She had been trying from just now until now, and until now, let alone controlling the power of the dream, she couldn't even use Haoran Zhengqi.

"You also want to use the power of the nightmare?"

Ying Li laughed crazily.

Even if he had obtained the recognition of the remnant thought of the Demon Venerable Dream Demon King and had the brand and the ability to control dreams, it was something he had painstakingly cultivated through repeated failures over a hundred years.

A weak human, delusional about defeating him in the Nightmare World using the power of the nightmare?

How ridiculous!

Li Yu sighed long and looked at Lu Fang, saying, "I have implicated you."

"Yes," Lu Fang nodded seriously.

Li Yu rolled her eyes and said unpleasantly, "I find that you are really... very unlikable!"

"Otherwise, you should just agree to his conditions," Lu Fang raised his eyebrows slightly. "Hey, bird-man! You want to take her as a human pet, it has nothing to do with me. Otherwise, you two can chat, and let me out first, how about that?"

"You are looking for death!"

Ying Li's eyes burst with killing intent, and he was about to strike to destroy Lu Fang.

The unexpected happened!

He saw ripples in the space beside Lu Fang, and the Book Spirit Yan Chixia appeared.

"Impossible!"

Ying Li's pupils dilated, his face full of disbelief.

In the Nightmare World, how could the weak human in front of him summon a Book Spirit? The other party should not even be able to use Haoran Zhengqi.

"It seems that I am a bit special in the Nightmare World."

Lu Fang pointed to a place on Mount Luojia destroyed by the Yellow River water and probed, "What do you see that is?"

The place he pointed to was exactly the pitch-black ink sky and ink earth, and the Ink Brush Realm where the book people of various colors flashing with spiritual light were located.

In this Nightmare World, the Ink Brush Realm was like a transcendent existence, not disturbed by the power in the dream, and the Yellow River water and rain seemed to be deliberately avoiding it.

This anomaly was very conspicuous, and logically, both Li Yu and Ying Li should have seen it long ago.

The only possibility that the two did not notice it was that only Lu Fang could see the Ink Brush Realm.

Li Yu looked up and saw nothing special, then turned to look at Lu Fang, her eyes filled with both confusion and surprise.

Since he could summon a Book Spirit, perhaps he could also...

"If I am not mistaken, the Nightmare World is a joint dream of the three of us. Since it is in my dream, then it is easy to handle."

Lu Fang cleared his throat, imitated Ying Li's movements just now, raised his right hand over his head, and shouted, "Brush, come!"
