1346 Curse? (1/2)

”F*ck!”

Xu Que jumped with fright and opened his eyes wide.

Even if everything here was just an illusion, he could still manage to detect a person hiding with his current power unless the person was an almighty being who had reached the Celestial King or higher stage.

He detected clearly that no one was here. However, as he proceeded onward, he suddenly detected an aura and he stopped in his tracks. When he looked in the direction from which he had detected the aura all he saw was a pair of eyes. The owner of the eyes was apparently still hiding in the stove.

Could this be considered a meeting with a ghost in broad daylight?

”Alas! Big brother, aren't you being childish? Are you trying to scare me? It's really useless! Your tricks have been used by people for ages. Specialists crawl from wells, even televisions. They can crawl out as doubles. In English, it's called Double-Crawling. Do you get it?” Xu Que came back to his senses and faced that pair of eyes and started ridiculing them.

The two eyes had a vacant look, and they stared at Xu Que blankly. Then, the next moment, they started becoming moist and crying.

Now Xu Que was really dumbstruck as he thought he had gone too far.

”What was happening?”

”Couldn't he stand any criticism?”

”He started crying just after I uttered a few words?”

”Hey, big brother! Don't cry! There's no reason for you to start weeping. A great hero shouldn't cry. Hey, is it possible that you are a young lady?” Xu Que spoke, quickly, and, in the end, he became curious about the owner of that pair of eyes.

After all, this person was hiding in a stove, and he couldn't see anything other than his eyes.

But Xu Que still discerned something through the eyes. Even though they had seemed vacant at first sight, they still contained a faint expectation, a longing, and love.

HISS!

Xu Que immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, before letting out a breath that turned into a sigh.

”I didn't expect that even though I have turned into an old man, my unique mesmerizing demeanor still can't be concealed. It has unexpectedly caused you to fall in love with me at first sight. You have good taste!” Xu Que spoke and sighed with emotions. The eyes were a window to a person's soul, and they were the most sincere bridge that connected people. They wouldn't deceive anyone!

RUMBLE!

The next moment, the whole stove cracked open amid a loud, rumbling sound.

An illusory sword appeared, and it seemed as if it came from above the nine skies. It possessed an outrageously high speed, and it instantly penetrated the region between Xu Que's brows.

Xu Que's scalp became numb, and, by the time he came back to his senses, the illusory sword had already penetrated the region between his brows and passed through it.

But...it didn't leave anything behind.

Xu Que's body didn't sustain any injuries. His condition remained good. The sword was just an illusion.

However, Xu Que could still feel a chill run down his spine, while cold sweat beaded his forehead. Fear lingered with him!

If that illusory sword had been a real sword, he probably would have already been dead.

As Xu Que thought about this matter, anger welled up in his heart. ”F*ck! You have angered me successfully. It doesn't matter whether you are an illusion, as I will still kill you.”

BANG!

The region between his eyebrows shone brightly, and the Little Gold Clone melted and turned into a powerful force that converged in his eyes. He had opened his Heaven Eye!

In an instant, Xu Que could see through all the illusions in the vicinity, and he could see once again the stones and the plain he saw when he had just entered, as well as Bai Cailing, Buttface, Liu Jingning, and the others that walked ahead of him.

He had managed to see through such a trifling illusion!

But the smithy and the stove were still here.

The stove had disintegrated and turned into ashes, and the illusory sword that had attacked him previously was still floating above the ashes. Now, however, a child was hugging the sword's hilt with both arms and crossing his legs around the sword's blade. He seemed like a drowning man who was clinging to a branch. He was holding on tightly, without any desire to let go.

At this moment, the child raised his eyes and looked at Xu Que.

Xu Que immediately recognized him. This pair of eyes were the eyes that had looked at him a while ago from the stove.
