Chapter 1261: About to Die?

"Boom!"

In a loud noise, Xuan Yuan Wanrong's avatar returned, once again rolling up a surging murderous aura and attacking Xu Que.

This time she didn't say any words, her face was icy, and brilliance overflowed from her green jade-like fingertips, casting a powerful technique, instantly freezing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Wherever the extremely cold wind passed, frost condensed, and it surged directly toward Xu Que's face.

"Heh, I seem to have guessed something!" Xu Que grinned, his hands behind his back, incomparably indifferent.

The next moment, golden light bloomed under his feet, and he suddenly lifted his leg and kicked forward!

*Bang! *

All the cold wind and frost were shattered in an instant.

This King of Acting Cool Leg used 100,000 Acting Cool Points!

Not only did it destroy the technique of Xuan Yuan Wanrong's avatar, but its power continued forward, like a sword blade that couldn't be stopped, galloping all the way forward, destroying everything!

Xuan Yuan Wanrong's avatar was torn apart on the spot, like a painting being violently torn open by someone. After her figure twisted for a while, she disappeared directly, but the power of the King of Acting Cool Leg had not yet ended. It continued forward until it exploded in front of an ancient tree reaching the sky.

*Boom—! *

The surrounding ground shook violently. Whether it was the nearby mountain forest or Er Gou, Duan Jiude, and the others standing beside Xu Que, everything became blurred and distorted, changing from real people to a three-dimensional, fake feeling, and then slowly turning into a distorted painting.

Finally, in a huge explosion, everything around was destroyed.

Xu Que opened his eyes abruptly. He was still standing in that underground secret realm, as if he had just entered not long ago. The surroundings were still full of thick fog, and Er Gou, Duan Jiude, and the others were looking at him in astonishment, shaking his body.

"Holy crap, finally woke up! Kid, what happened to you just now?" Er Gou asked immediately when it saw Xu Que open his eyes.

Xu Que shook his head: "Accidentally fell into an illusion, but it was broken by me!"

The scenes that appeared just now were entirely an illusion, including the scene from when Er Gou said it smelled a bloody smell, it had already started to go wrong.

But everything was too real, so much so that Xu Que himself hadn't been able to react at first, until he made a move and blew away Xuan Yuan Wanrong's avatar, only then did he realize how outrageous it was, feeling like he was dreaming!

Only then did he suddenly come to his senses. Unless he was dreaming, how could he possibly be Xuan Yuan Wanrong's opponent? Even if it was an avatar, he couldn't contend with it.

So the only explanation was that either he was dreaming, or everything was fake. In any case, dreams were often fake too.

Finally, he tentatively kicked out that leg. The King of Acting Cool Leg, which specifically restrained restriction arrays, was performed, and all the images shattered instantly, including Xuan Yuan Wanrong's avatar, which also disappeared without a trace.

In fact, to put it simply, those were all an illusion!

"Illusion? What's going on? We entered together, how come only you fell into an illusion?" Duan Jiude asked in astonishment.

"Could it be that there is some hidden restriction on the ground?" Mo Junchen lowered his head to observe, but found nothing.

"Kid, what appeared in the illusion? This Godly Venerable just felt you were wrong, you suddenly stood there in a daze as soon as you landed, and no matter how I called, there was no response. I almost wanted to feed you a mouthful of shit to rescue you!" Er Gou said curiously.

"Heh, if you mention the word shit in front of me again in the future, I will definitely stew you!" Xu Que glared at Er Gou and sneered.

"Damn, this Godly Venerable was also out of kindness, you... eh, wait a minute, did you smell it? It seems a fresh bloody smell is coming over!" Er Gou was annoyed, but suddenly its nose twitched, and it said stunned.

This sentence was spoken, and Mo Junchen, Liu Jingning, and Duan Jiude all subconsciously looked in all directions, except for Xu Que, whose face changed, full of dumbfoundedness.

This sentence was too damn familiar.

Just now in the illusion, Er Gou had already said it once, how come it was coming again now?

Wait, could it be that it wasn't an illusion just now, but a prophecy?

Xu Que widened his eyes, his pupils contracted slightly!

If it was truly a prophecy, then next, Er Gou would run away, and shout that it smelled a familiar aura, followed by that old immortal Duan Jiude also following and running away quickly.

"Holy crap, kid, you're bleeding!"

However, the situation Xu Que was worried about didn't happen. Er Gou didn't run away, but looked at Xu Que and shouted in shock.

Duan Jiude, Liu Jingning, and the others also looked at Xu Que in shock, unable to believe it.

"Me, bleeding?" Xu Que was also a bit dumbfounded, completely not feeling that he had any injuries.

But the next moment, a bone-chilling sharp pain suddenly spread throughout his body from his glabella!

Only then did Xu Que feel that there was a warm liquid on his face, slowly flowing down. It turned out he wasn't uninjured, but hadn't noticed it just now because it didn't hurt yet!

But now, he felt the pain, as if his flesh was being eroded by something, drilling inside his body!

"Damn, System, hurry and turn on the recovery function!" Xu Que immediately summoned the system and shouted in his heart.

He was truly confused, completely unaware of when he had been injured or ambushed by something.

"Ding, after detection, the host has not suffered any injury. It is not recommended to turn on the recovery function and waste Acting Cool Points!" At this moment, the system prompt sounded.

Xu Que was stunned instantly. Not injured?

I'm not injured? How is this possible?

Didn't you hear them say I'm bleeding?

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, Xu Que gasped.

Could it be that this was still in an illusion? He hadn't walked out at all?

Thinking of this, Xu Que immediately looked at Er Gou and lifted his leg, ready to kick it.

"Holy crap, holy crap, kid, what are you doing? You bleeding has nothing to do with this Godly Venerable!" Er Gou was startled and dodged quickly.

Duan Jiude, Liu Jingning, and Mo Junchen also had strange and surprised expressions, seemingly unable to understand what was wrong with Xu Que?

"Little guy, what exactly is wrong with you?" Liu Jingning asked softly, very worried.

Xu Que's face was bleeding now, and the golden blood was slowly sliding down from his two eyes, dripping toward the ground along his cheeks, and he was suddenly preparing to make a move on Er Gou. No matter how you looked at it, it was too abnormal.

"No, the life force on Gang Leader Xu is fading!" At this moment, Mo Junchen exclaimed, feeling that Xu Que's state was very bad.

Xu Que also came to his senses. He was not in an illusion; everything in front of him was real!

However, why was he bleeding for no reason? And the system couldn't detect any injury? Even the life force in his body was fading?

This... what exactly was going on?

Xu Que felt a sense of confusion in his heart, never having been so lost, knowing nothing about his own situation.

"System, hurry and find out what exactly is wrong with my body!" Xu Que had to ask the system again.

The system gave a quick response this time: "Ding, after detection, the host's life essence is bound by a certain artifact. Due to the artifact containing Heavenly Dao rules, under its influence, the host's lifespan is being consumed in large quantities, with only 40 days of lifespan remaining!"

"What?" After hearing this, Xu Que widened his eyes instantly.

Only forty days of lifespan left?

From entering this place until now, nine days had passed. Plus the remaining forty days, wasn't it exactly matching the prophecy of that child earlier, that he would die in forty-nine days!

Why the hell was this?

Xu Que felt a sense of helplessness and confusion. When had he been bound by some artifact, and even influenced by Heavenly Dao rules... no, wait!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Xu Que's mind, and an answer popped up—"Xuan Yuan Wanrong, about to die?"
