Chapter 154

Don't Give Up

After soknew that this was not the otiate Xiaobao ran into the next path ahead without hesitation

Now, Chengfeng was the only one left in the tunnel, his hand clutching the knob as he nervously looked at the rain of swords approaching

“It's all an illusion! An illusion! You can't scare me!” He tried to brainwash himself

But everything looked too real His heart pounded like a drum as he wondered What if they weren't… illusions? What if they were real?

What if… Grand Senior Brother lied like the last time and this wasn't the Illusory Sword Array? What then?

This thought haunted hi manically across his mind until the shadow of doubt consumed him

If Zhao Xiaobao gets injured, I can save him But if I'm hurt, ill save me? If his Immortal Qi abilities were exposed publicly, wouldn't his identity too?

The terrifying thought rang like deafening bells, like a de unto his mind

Chengfeng subconsciously loosened his grip on the knob Swords i whoosh, causing him to shriek in surprise and turn the knob around immediately!

However, he realised a strong force was starting to force the knob clockwise and when turned, swords in the other tunnel would fall immediately Zhao Xiaobao would then be impaled by countless swords If that happened… even if he went to Grand Senior Sister again, she would not be able to save him

Although this was just the Illusory Sword Array, he did not want to gamble What if it wasn't? Based on the way Grand Senior Brother tricked them the last time, he definitely did not see to watch thele at the boundary between life and death

Chengfeng twisted the knob in the opposite direction hard but the force grew stronger and was deter could do was slon its speed

After a while, he felt an intense burning in his arm as if it was about to be twisted off

His arle due to the extreme force exerted on the knob The pain drove him to madness!

AAARGH!

His eyes bulged and beads of sweat sprouted on his forehead His face reddened as green veins pulsed He was at the brink of giving up now

But Chengfeng dared not let go because he did not want to take the gamble!

What if… it's not an illusion?

Perhaps he just had to hold on for one more second! Then Zhao Xiaobao would arrive at the next knob, turn it, and shut this whole mechanism off!

He did not know that the creator of the Illusory Sword Array had an acute understanding of huer, doubt would cling unto them like a shadow

Perhaps there were people you could trust with your life in this world But what about the chain of doubt? The chain of doubt was not one line connecting A to B, it was a three-di points

As long as one of the points was not stable, the entire ould implode and a person's trust and confidence would be shattered by doubt!

Just like this question: Was this truly the Illusory Sword Array? Could illusions hurt a person? If this wasn't the Illusory Sword Array, what array was it? Would the other person reach the other knob in tiet impaled by swords?

Even if they arrived at the knob in tio now and they die, will I still die too?

Does the other person have the same questions I do? What decision will he make? If they choose to hold on to the knob, will he believe that I a on to the knob? If he holds on but doesn't believe that I will hold on, then what?

All these doubts appeared consecutively Just a slight push was enough tocollapse!
