Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Chapter 271 Shadow Realm

Let the hands of time slowly turn back and freeze at the moment when Chu Cixiao just faced those two red-faced people and one black-faced person.

When the three men saw that Chu Cixiao was the only one coming to stop them, expressions of disdain and contempt instantly appeared on their faces, as if in their eyes, Chu Cixiao was just an ant who overestimated his own capabilities and dared to block their way alone. In their opinion, this was simply an act of seeking death.

"As long as I'm here, you can't take a single step forward!"

Chu Cixiao stood there with an upright posture, tightly holding a black dagger with a scabbard in his right hand.

Chu Cixiao stood quietly, his eyes closed, his expression focused and solemn.

He stretched out his left hand, slowly grasped the scabbard, and began to gently pull out the dagger. His movements were gentle and pious, as if he was having a silent conversation with the dagger.

When the scabbard was pulled open a little and the blade could be vaguely seen, suddenly, his eyes opened wide, and in an instant, a strange black light flashed where the whites of his eyes should have been. The light was like a ghost fire from an endless abyss, which made people feel creepy at a glance, as if they were being stared at by an evil force.

Chu Cixiao usually wears black clothes, and gives off a cold aura that keeps strangers away. But now, with the blessing of these mysterious black eyes, the feeling of keeping people at a distance becomes stronger, as if he has merged with the darkness around him and become the master of darkness.

"Shadow Realm! Open!" Chu Cixiao's low and powerful voice cut through the sky and echoed in the air.

"Another area!"

The two red-faced men and the one black-faced man were suddenly filled with shock and fear. They opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief.

They never thought that two people with natural talents in certain fields would appear in the same academy one after another. This was simply beyond their imagination.

In their cognition, domain talent is extremely rare, but now two of them have appeared at once, which makes them feel deeply fearful in their hearts.

As Chu Cixiao finished speaking, the whole world seemed to be swallowed up by darkness in an instant.

The sky, which had already become overcast due to the power exerted by Lin Mo in the first game, was now plunged into a dead silence and darkness, as if it was covered by a thick black curtain, and not a trace of light could penetrate.

The three of them only felt a blackness before their eyes. In an instant, all color disappeared from their eyes. The originally colorful world was now reduced to endless darkness, as if they were exiled into a chaotic void. Fear and anxiety quickly spread in their hearts.

"hateful!

Is it an illusion?

noob!

"Help!" One of the red-faced men realized that the situation was not good and shouted in panic.

There was a slight tremor in his voice, which seemed particularly abrupt in this dark space.

However, he received no response. There was dead silence all around him, and only his own voice echoed in the empty darkness.

This is because their hearing, vision, and sense of smell have been ruthlessly blocked by Chu Cixiao's shadow domain.

Although their voices can be heard by the outside world, what good is that?

In this area shrouded in darkness, they are like trapped animals in a cage, isolated and helpless.

In fact, the Shadow Domain is not an ordinary illusion, but a mysterious power that uses the dark element to temporarily erase the opponent's three senses.

That’s right, it is a real erasure, which makes a person completely lose hearing, vision and smell, as if he is completely isolated from the outside world.

Therefore, those conventional moves used to break illusions are completely useless in front of this shadow domain, just like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Hong Lian didn't get a response, and although he was a little anxious, he was a battle-hardened master after all, so he quickly calmed down and began to try to find other ways to deal with it.

Suddenly, he noticed something strange. Although his three senses had disappeared, he still had the sense of touch!

He was surprised to find that he could feel the tiny vibrations caused by people walking nearby through the ground beneath his feet.

It turns out that he also has natural talent. Although he does not have a powerful domain or powerful weapons like others, his natural talent is the earth element.

With his keen perception of the earth element, he could clearly feel the subtle changes caused by the people nearby moving on the earth element, which allowed him to see a glimmer of hope in this dark and desperate situation.

When the three people were deprived of their three senses by the Shadow Domain and fell into extreme confusion and helplessness, Chu Cixiao keenly captured this fleeting and excellent opportunity for battle.

His figure suddenly jumped up like a ghost, his muscles tensed, like a cheetah ready to pounce, and suddenly pounced on the three people. The black dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, and with an indomitable momentum, he launched a series of fierce attacks on them.

Thanks to Yun Yuyao's feather sound acceleration, Chu Cixiao's speed reached the extreme. In this dark area, his figure shuttled like lightning, making people dazzled.

Every movement brought about a whirring sound in the wind, as if ghosts were dancing in the dark.

He cleverly used the shadow domain's restrictions on the enemy's perception, constantly changing positions around the three people, like a ghost, attacking them from all unexpected angles in turn.

Each of his attacks was precise and deadly. The dagger flashed cold light in the air, like a meteor flashing in the night sky, heading straight for the vital points of the three people.

However, things did not go as smoothly as expected.

Although Chu Cixiao's attack was swift and accurate, the opponent's defense was too strong.

His attacks only caused a few shallow wounds on the opponent's body, and these wounds were so small that they were almost negligible and could not cause any substantial harm to them.

Among the three, Red Face, who possessed the earth element, was able to barely try to dodge some of Chu Cixiao's attacks with his keen perception of the surrounding environment, and counterattack from time to time.

The ground beneath his feet seemed to be integrated with him. Whenever Chu Cixiao's attack was approaching, he could always use the power of the earth element to move his body flexibly and let the dagger pass by him.

The other two adopted an extremely conservative defense method. They squatted face to face, and used their arms to firmly protect their heads and main parts of the body, like turtles curled up in their shells, protecting themselves tightly.

This seemingly simple yet very effective defensive strategy made Chu Cixiao feel very difficult. His attacks were successfully blocked by the opponent time and time again, as if he was stuck in a stalemate.

After some observation and thinking, Chu Cixiao quickly formulated a new attack strategy in his mind.

He knew very well that attacking the red-faced man who possessed the earth element would result in a strong counterattack, while attacking the black-faced man would not cause any effective damage at all. Moreover, the black-faced man possessed some powerful recovery ability, and his wounds would heal instantly.

Therefore, his only option at the moment was to concentrate on attacking the remaining red-faced man.

Chu Cixiao's eyes focused, and the dagger in his hand turned slightly. A mysterious star power slowly flowed into the dagger from his palm.

Then, he suddenly rushed towards the target red-faced man, and the dagger in his hand was filled with the power of the stars, stabbing at the opponent with lightning speed.

This attack hit Red Face accurately, and the power of the stars exploded instantly, instantly depriving Red Face of his sense of touch.

In an instant, Red Face, who had lost his sense of touch, seemed to fall into a strange state. He felt as if he had fallen asleep in an instant, and all his perceptions of the outside world became blurred. His body, which had been curled up for self-protection, slowly relaxed, and he involuntarily opened his arms, completely exposed to Chu Cixiao's attack range.

Although the black-faced man next to him had lost his three senses, he was able to keenly notice that the red-faced man, who had been leaning against him tightly, suddenly left his side due to the close contact between him and the red-faced man.

He was startled and subconsciously reached out to grab the red-faced man to prevent him from getting into trouble.

After some groping, he finally grabbed Red Face's arm. However, what made him uneasy was that Red Face did not react at all. His whole body was limp, like a person who had lost his life. This gave Black Face an ominous premonition in his heart.

Although Black Face didn't know what was going on, out of his instinct to protect his companions, he threw himself on Red Face without hesitation, using his body to build a solid barrier for Red Face, trying to block all possible attacks from Chu Cixiao.

When Chu Cixiao saw this scene, he was speechless.

He felt like an ordinary soldier going to the battlefield with simple weapons, while the enemy seemed to be driving indestructible tanks. His attacks seemed so powerless in front of them, like an ant trying to shake a tree. This huge contrast made him feel helpless and frustrated.

At the same time, Red Face, who possessed the earth element, also noticed that something was wrong.

Relying on his perception of the earth element, he quickly moved to the side of the black-faced and red-faced people who were "playing" with stacks.

He knew very well that although Black Face's main role was to help his companions resist harm, human physical strength and endurance were limited and would eventually reach their limits.

If he continued to let it go and let Chu Cixiao continue to attack, Hei Lian would sooner or later be unable to hold on, and by then, all three of them would be in extremely dangerous situations.

At this time, Bai Lian, who was standing aside, realized that he was of almost no use in this battle, and did not choose to stay on the stage as a bystander.

He took a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, then he turned around and jumped off the ring without hesitation.

This was actually one of the coping strategies they had discussed with the academy before going on stage.

In this kind of team battle, if you find that your presence cannot have a positive impact on the situation, it is a common practice to choose to withdraw in order to preserve your strength. It can even be said to be an unwritten rule in such occasions throughout history.
