I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

In terms of cultivation level, Xie Fengnan is actually at the fifth level.

However, his combat strength does not follow his cultivation level.

Because the energy limit he needs to break through to the next level is dozens of times higher than that of an ordinary person.

For example, it takes 10 units of energy for a person to cultivate from the first level to the second level.

Therefore, Xie Fengnan would need 100 units or even more to advance from the first tier to the second tier.

Therefore, even within the same rank, there are differences in skill level.

That's how the gap arises.

Supported by immense energy and superhuman combat instincts.

Fighting opponents of higher ranks is as easy as breathing for Xie Fengnan.

This is also why Xie Fengnan remained calm; he wasn't afraid of fighting the man in black at all.

The delay was simply to buy time for Chu Jiaoyang and Xie Xingmo.

He wasn't affected by the illusion attack, but the other two have been bewitched and are heading deeper into the mist.

It's not that Xie Fengnan can't forcibly break the illusion, but this approach could easily damage Xie Xingmo and Chu Jiaoyang's brains.

At best, it can cause a concussion; at worst, it can lead to immediate dementia.

With him protecting them, their true forms are unlikely to be harmed, and this is also an opportunity to hone their skills.

Xie Fengnan believed that it was only a matter of time before they broke free from the illusion. He just needed to distract the black-robed man from focusing on strengthening the illusion's output.

Sure enough, Xie Xingmo started struggling to regain his senses.

The man in black robes gradually realized that he couldn't do anything to Xie Fengnan.

Illusions have no effect on him at all; in close combat, he's no match for him.

There was nothing they could do, even though the speed and power of a seventh-tier character were undeniable.

However, because she mainly cultivates mental strength, she is indeed no match for Xie Fengnan, who has used his body as a weapon for many years.

However, she was not discouraged, as she still had Chu Jiaoyang and Xie Xingmo as hostages.

I don't believe he won't give in.

However, Xie Fengnan was not going to give the man in black the chance, and directly rushed up to her and chased after her to fight.

The man in black robes had to fend off Xie Fengnan's attacks while also keeping an eye on the illusionary realm.

They quickly became overwhelmed.

This situation will become increasingly unfavorable for her.

We can't let this stalemate continue; the remaining two are almost fully awake.

The man in black gritted his teeth. This operation was definitely going to be judged as a failure. Who would have thought that Xie Fengnan's combat power was so heaven-defying?

It's amazing that it can fight across two levels.

It seems I have no choice but to resort to this last resort.

With that thought in mind, the man in black robes no longer hesitated and raised his hand to summon the mecha from the spatial button.

Xie Fengnan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the large creature that had appeared before him.

The mecha, which is tens of meters tall, makes quite a commotion; once she uses it, it will attract the attention of the entire city.

This is not an exaggeration. Except in specific locations or special operations, mechs are basically prohibited from being operated.

Because a slight mishap could cause widespread destruction, and if an antisocial or inhumane individual were to drive it on the street, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, this fog cannot conceal the mecha.

It was inevitable that she would be discovered.

If the woman in the black robe didn't want to be caught, she had no choice but to run away.

But before running away, she controlled the mecha to fire an energy cannon at Xie Fengnan.

Xie Fengnan was helpless, with Xie Xingmo and Chu Jiaoyang right behind him.

She was certain she wouldn't dare to hide.

Composing himself, Xie Fengnan raised his hand and slashed down with his sword.

A dazzling sword aura sliced ​​the energy cannon in half, and the two halves of the cannonball exploded in mid-air.

The explosion's flames bathed the surrounding area in a fiery red light.

Reflecting Xie Fengnan's face, it danced in his eyes.

In short, he's handsome.

This is the first thing Xie Xingmo saw when he woke up.

The next thing she looked at was Chu Jiaoyang beside her. Seeing that he was alright, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although I knew Xie Fengnan's abilities, I still had to see them with my own eyes to feel at ease.

It wasn't until the third glance that Xie Fengnan noticed the sword in his hand gradually turning into powder and dissipating.

"I was careless."

Xie Xingmo felt guilty and resolved that it was clearly herself who would protect these two people.

But every time, I am the one being protected.

"It's alright, it's alright. She's a seventh-tier cultivator and she still resorts to underhanded tactics. It's not your fault."

Xie Fengnan comforted him, saying that he wasn't the kind of person who was unreasonable.

Xie Xingmo and the others didn't have any other thoughts about saving the day each time.

My good brothers haven't grown up yet, so it's no big deal for me to take extra care of them.

"Sigh, the villains can run away if they can't win, but we have to stay and give them an explanation."

Xie Fengnan had a long face.

Although he had just managed to prevent the shells from exploding on the ground, thus avoiding widespread destruction.

But it's impossible for it to have no impact at all.

Even so, he couldn't possibly lose money!

After firing the energy cannon, the man in black turned his mecha around and flew away.

She didn't have time to see how Xie Fengnan would respond.

After all, she could sense that many powerful individuals were rushing this way.

But she still kept some attention on them; if she could take them down successfully, then her mission wouldn't have failed.

As a result, we saw Xie Fengnan's stance when he made that attack.

What is that? Is that a lightsaber in his hand? Why can it launch that kind of attack?

Obviously, no one would answer her, and she had no time to think about the underlying principles.

She had only one thought: once this storm had passed, she would find more people to kill Xie Fengnan.

As the man in black robes left, Chu Jiaoyang woke up.

Just as he was about to ask questions about what had just happened, the officials arrived.

They naturally knew the young master of the Xie family.

So they didn't make things difficult for him, but were astonished after learning the situation.

Xie Fengnan certainly couldn't directly say that he could hold his own against a seventh-rank opponent.

They only said they didn't know who wanted to kill them, and that they had used some underhanded tactics to force her into the public eye in order to survive.

In her haste to escape, she spared herself.

Although they made themselves sound like they were low-class, everyone else was a seasoned pro.

Did they use underhanded tactics? What underhanded tactics forced them to run away?

And you should be at the fifth rank, right? How can you use your skills on a seventh-rank person?

The name of Blood Shadow Envoy—Nightmare of Illusions—was known within their ranks.

Her reputation for cruelty and ruthlessness was built up over a long period of time.

Once she sets her sights on someone, the number of people who survive after falling into her hands is extremely limited.

While it's possible that the Xie family provided Xie Fengnan with some countermeasures, this achievement is still astonishing.

Even if the Xie family provided something to save their lives, it's impossible for them to escape unscathed, right?

For many people, skipping a level is extremely difficult.

It can still jump around and be lively even when it's two steps apart.

Really awesome.

Not to mention that these two levels are not even the first three levels.

The highest level in this world is currently the ninth rank, and each three rank constitutes a stage.

The gap between each level increases geometrically as the level increases.

Could it be that this young master is not at the fifth rank, but at the seventh rank?
