Chapter 14

The wind blows the black clouds and the rain falls, the distant call for the brush leaves no shadow.

The rainstorm was still falling, and the Yellow River water on the ground was still flowing. Lu Fang shouted for the brush, but there was no movement or change at all.

"Sigh!"

Li Yu sighed and shook her head in disappointment, then gave a bitter laugh.

If even she, a Fifth-Rank Scholar, couldn't do it, why force a Ninth-Rank Scholar to master the power of the dream?

"Playing god and acting like a ghost!" Ying Li looked at Lu Fang coldly. No matter what, he didn't want to drag it out anymore and had to get rid of the human in front of him.

"I want to cut you into a thousand pieces!"

The demon marks on Ying Li's face and neck shone brightly.

The rain above Lu Fang turned into sharp, cold-piercing blades and fell.

Lu Fang stood there motionless, looking up calmly at the falling blades. The giant brush that only he could see, standing between heaven and earth, waved, and ten thousand blades froze in mid-air.

The closest blade was only a foot away from his face.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

The ten thousand blades were stirred into powder by a huge force and evaporated in an instant.

Sounds of war drums and battle cries rang out!

An ancient war chariot appeared in front of Lu Fang. He stepped forward and stood on the chariot, looking down at Ying Li, whose eyes were almost popping out.

He didn't know exactly how the structure of this dream world was, but he had already established a connection with the realm spirit "Giant Brush" of the Ink Brush Realm, and that was enough.

Ying Li used the brand of the Demon Venerable "Dream Demon King" to use extraordinary power in this dream world.

This was not even remotely comparable to Lu Fang obtaining power directly from the realm spirit "Giant Brush."

"This is..."

Li Yu's beautiful eyes blinked slightly, her mind blank. This scene in front of her had too much visual impact; he really did it!

"I am invincible in the Nightmare World!" Ying Li gritted his teeth and clenched his hands hard.

The scene he imagined of Lu Fang's body exploding from a huge force did not appear.

"Those who offend my Great Zhou must be executed!"

Lu Fang waved his hand, and Ying Li had an arm severed by an unknown force.

"Those who dare to come and bully my human race must pay back a hundredfold!"

One of Ying Li's hands and both legs were severed.

"I am not a good person, but I don't like killing either..."

Ying Li's wings were forcibly ripped off.

"Why force me!"

Ying Li's head was severed.

Lu Fang sighed softly, and flames burned all of Ying Li's body. In a moment, it turned into flying ash, and blown by the wind, it flew in this Nightmare World.

After Ying Li died, the sky shook and the earth trembled. At first, it was very slight, but gradually the amplitude of the shaking became larger and larger, and finally, it collapsed and shattered into ten thousand fragments.

"..."

Lu Fang opened his eyes abruptly. What met his eyes was the pitch-black mountain cave. The sky outside the cave was dim, and the rainstorm was still falling.

The cool wind blew from the cave entrance onto his body, and he subconsciously hugged the person in his arms tighter, which made him feel warm.

The strange dream just now was not a dream.

The Book Spirit Yan Chixia had indeed been summoned into the Nightmare World by Lu Fang just now, and the realm spirit "Giant Brush" had also "communicated" with him.

"Hmm..." Li Yu, lying in Lu Fang's arms, also woke up, her black, bright eyes looking up at his face, not knowing what she was thinking.

"You're awake too."

Lu Fang lowered his head and met Li Yu's eyes.

The roots of Li Yu's ears turned red instantly. She struggled weakly a few times and said softly, "I'm much better now, put me down first."

"Oh, oh... because your condition was very bad before, that's why I kept you warm like this."

Lu Fang reluctantly released his arms around the "beauty" and gave a bitter laugh:

"It was so dangerous in the dream just now! I don't know if that bird-man was killed by me in the dream and died in the real world."

"According to the records, he should be dead."

Li Yu got up, tidied her clothes, took a pill from a porcelain bottle, and looked straight at Lu Fang, saying, "How did you do it?"

The question was not very specific, but Lu Fang understood what she was asking.

In that Nightmare World, Li Yu, at the Fifth-Rank Scholar realm, couldn't even use Haoran Zhengqi, while he, with the strength of a Ninth-Rank Scholar, could kill a holder of the Demon Venerable "Dream Demon King" brand.

That was a Fifth-Rank demon genius who had been recognized by the remnant thought of the Demon Venerable and left with a brand, destined to be a Beyond-Rank Demon King in the future.

It was clearly a situation of certain death!

He easily cracked it and killed him in return.

Even though Li Yu thought highly of him, she still found it incredible.

"I have loved dreaming since I was a child. The stories of 'Liaozhai Yi Zhi Nie Xiaoqian' and 'Dream of the Red Chamber' were the inspiration 'dreams' gave me. Perhaps this is the reason why I wrote them as elegant literature."

Lu Fang chuckled and continued: "I was able to 'create something out of nothing' in the dream just now, and I guess it also has factors in this regard."

This explanation might be a bit far-fetched.

But the dream world itself was relatively peculiar, and even if ordinary people didn't believe it, they couldn't find where the problem was.

Having experienced this dream world, Lu Fang also understood that the Ink Brush Realm existed at the intersection of dreams and reality.

This was what the realm spirit "Giant Brush" told him in the dream.

"I do not know if it was Zhuang dreaming of being a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of being Zhuang?"

Li Yu slowly recited the elegant literature from "Zhuang's Dream of a Butterfly" and self-convinced: "Perhaps it is really as Sage Zhuang Zhou said, dreams and reality cannot be determined, perhaps what we think is reality..."

"Good disciple! Hahaha... come out."

A full-voiced, aged voice rang out outside the cave.

"Master!" Li Yu recognized the identity of the person outside the cave, shouted happily, and hurried out of the cave.

'Finally, reinforcements have arrived, I can finally lie flat.' Lu Fang also followed out.

He saw the Great Scholar Wang Fu standing there smiling not far outside the cave.

"Your aura is somewhat chaotic, are you injured?"

As soon as Wang Fu saw Li Yu, a look of concern appeared on his face, and he hurriedly took a porcelain bottle from the treasure bag at his waist and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Master."

After Li Yu took the pill from the porcelain bottle, her complexion became visibly rosy.

Afterward, she told him everything about encountering Ying Li, forcibly unleashing the Great Scholar ink treasure, entering the Nightmare World, and Lu Fang killing the opponent in return.

Wang Fu frowned when he heard about the Demon Venerable "Dream Demon King" brand, and his face was full of astonishment when he heard that Lu Fang had killed Ying Li in the Nightmare World.

"You kid are capable! You didn't waste those three 'Haoran Zhengqi Pills' of mine, you did very well!"

Wang Fu nodded frequently at Lu Fang in praise.

"I was just lucky, kid. If Scholar Li hadn't used the square inkstone to scare the Eagle Demon so that he didn't dare to act rashly in the real world, I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation and kill him in the dream."

Lu Fang chuckled.

"In any case, you did well this time, and I will definitely report this matter to His Majesty."

Wang Fu nodded with a smile.

Li Yu said somewhat urgently: "Master, you have come, why didn't my father come? Could it be that my father is injured?"
