Heavy Rain in the Chrysanthemum Department

"Stop!" Su Ze commanded, pointing at the giant eagle.

The giant eagle obediently halted its wings and stood still, awaiting orders.

Everyone was stunned.

Why would the Mysterious Being listen to Su Ze?

Could it be...

An unbelievable conjecture formed in their minds.

"So you were the mastermind behind all this?" Meng Xingyao walked toward Su Ze, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Yes, please don't hit me. I'll turn myself in to the police after we get out," Su Ze quickly submitted, trying to avoid being beaten.

"This Mysterious Being..." Meng Xingyao looked at the eagle.

"I tamed it," Su Ze said.

He walked toward the massive Mysterious Being that had once again completely healed itself. He commanded the eagle, "Kill it."

The eagle fearlessly lunged at the giant Mysterious Being, engaging in a fierce battle. However, within a few moves, the eagle was caught by its neck and violently slammed into the ground.

The powerful shockwave kicked up a dust storm that blotted out the sky.

The eagle flapped its wings, stirring up the dust into a fierce wind, instantly creating a tempest of flying sand and stones.

Using the murky environment to break free, the eagle circled in the sky, repeatedly diving down to claw at the giant Mysterious Being.

"Thank you," Xu Ziyin, covered in wounds, approached Su Ze.

She knew what Su Ze had done was to help her break through to the next level, but unfortunately, it hadn't worked out as planned.

"You all head back to the shelter. I'll deal with this," Su Ze said.

He only needed to keep the giant Mysterious Being occupied until everyone left, then he could escape on the eagle.

With that, his figure vanished.

In an instant, Su Ze appeared on the giant Mysterious Being's neck, slicing it open with one stroke.

Xu Ziyin and Meng Xingyao exchanged glances, and Meng Xingyao notified the others through her earpiece.

Xu Ziyin's legs were weak, and she trembled as she approached Gu Qingqing.

"Did you break through?" Gu Qingqing squinted, her cheeks slightly flushed, exhaustedly leaning against a rock in front of her.

"I... I..." Xu Ziyin stammered.

"There won't be a next time," Gu Qingqing stood up wearily. "No more life-and-death breakthrough attempts in the future."

She spoke very seriously.

Actually, she hadn't supported Xu Ziyin's breakthrough attempt this time.

Unable to resist Xu Ziyin's persistent pleading, she had agreed to let her attempt the breakthrough under high pressure.

She hadn't expected things to turn out this way, though thankfully it had been Su Ze's intentional plan.

"Okay." Xu Ziyin nodded, about to hug Gu Qingqing, but was pushed away.

Gu Qingqing turned and left.

I'm done for! She's angry!

Xu Ziyin felt as if struck by lightning, watching the retreating white figure dejectedly.

No breakthrough achieved, and now her wife was angry - a complete loss on both fronts.

Shen Qingsheng shakily sat down on a rock, felt his pocket, and pulled out a flattened cigarette pack. Sighing, he took out a crooked cigarette and put it in his mouth, patting his pockets, "Where's my lighter? Where did my lighter go?"

He tossed the cigarette away in frustration and watched Su Ze on the battlefield.

His feelings were mixed.

"You clever boy, plotting against us, making me format my phone!"

If only you had given us a heads up, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

If it was just about putting on a show, I'm a professional at that!

He felt his pockets and took out several crystals.

They were crystal clear in the sunlight.

These were his gains from the past few days.

Their group hadn't come just to help Xu Ziyin break through.

Everyone had gained quite a bit.

These past few days, Shen Qingsheng finally understood what it meant that money doesn't come easy.

His cultivation over the past few years had been entirely funded by his high-ranking father.

He now understood Su Ze's hardships over these years.

Cultivation was a bottomless pit, and Su Ze had filled it through his own efforts alone.

Countless times entering and leaving places between life and death.

He truly felt sorry for Su Ze.

The terrifying aura of early Lamp Realm suddenly pressed down on the battlefield! Shen Qingsheng suddenly looked up.

He saw Su Ze slice through the giant Mysterious Being's ankle with one strike, then raise his blade to block its thousand-pound fist.

He broke through!

He actually broke through!

Shen Qingsheng was dumbfounded.

Just as he was feeling sympathy for Su Ze, he realized he was the real fool!

Meng Xingyao's voice came through the earpiece, "Little Qing, let's go, keep up."

"Coming, sis!" He put aside his melancholic thoughts, about to leave.

But looking at the giant Mysterious Being, he grew increasingly angry.

Fighting me for over ten hours, from day to night and night to day, it would be too easy to just leave this exhibitionist be!

Shen Qingsheng picked up a broken, thick, straight piece of wood nearby, cut off its branches and leaves with a few strokes, and sharpened one end, then shouldered it.

Like an excellent sniper, he closed one eye to aim, "Target acquired!"

"One o'clock position."

"Wind direction, southeast, wind speed, ten meters per second."

"Ready to fire." He stepped forward, his lips curling into a cold smile, "Today's forecast: heavy rain in the rear."

He suddenly hurled the sharpened wood! "Here comes the flying stick!"

Su Ze saw a giant projectile flying over and quickly retreated, his pupils dilating in shock!

With a squelch!

"Roar!!!"

A series of low roars followed as the giant Mysterious Being was unexpectedly impaled, humiliatingly sprawled on the ground with its rear up.

With each contraction and relaxation, blood spurted rhythmically.

The eagle, witnessing this scene, could only feel that...

The gentle breeze swept across the hillside, as chrysanthemums bloomed everywhere.

With the faint scent of chrysanthemums wafting over, it instinctively tightened its defenses.

Su Ze stared in shock at the massive wood piercing through, listening to the Mysterious Being's screams for a long while.

"Brother Ze! I leave the rest to you!" Shen Qingsheng, having done his mischief, ran away.

Su Ze: "..."

You must have some serious issues.

The Mysterious Being reached behind itself, trembling as it grabbed the wood, trying to pull it out bit by bit.

Su Ze's expression suddenly turned vicious - since things had come to this, might as well go all the way!

His figure suddenly vanished, appearing behind the giant Mysterious Being, and kicked the slowly retreating wooden pole on the other end!

With a squelch!

The giant Mysterious Being's eyes bulged! The wood completely disappeared inside, emerging from its mouth!

The eagle's spine went cold - these two were inhuman!

Their methods against the Mysterious Being were simply too cruel!

Remembering its own experience, it couldn't help but sympathize with this Mysterious Being.

Su Ze held his blade with one hand, angled across his front, his gaze sharp.

The giant Mysterious Being pulled the wood from its mouth, its wounds instantly healing, and its humiliation and rage exploded simultaneously in a roar that shook the heavens.

Even the group that had run thousands of meters away found it deafening!

A giant dragon suddenly appeared without warning, striking down at the Mysterious Being with its claws!

The giant Mysterious Being was bewildered but immediately raised its hands to block.

However, the giant claw suddenly passed through its body, and immediately after, a sharp pain shot through its foot - Su Ze had cut off its left foot!

The giant Mysterious Being fell to the ground in astonishment.

The dragon vanished, and then ice, fire, storms, tornadoes, tsunamis - all manner of natural phenomena appeared.

Among them, some were real, like the storms, fire, and tornadoes, while others were illusions.

Real and fake intermingled, truth hidden within falsehood - this was the nature of Su Ze's ability, Mirage!
