The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 39: Illusions

BaiLi Yun Hua and Mo Lan had already exchanged dozens of moves and punches while the spectators were busy gossiping. Mo Lan had not used any monstrous strength before, but her current self was also quite difficult for BaiLi Yun Hua to deal with. Be it spiritual pressure or firepower, these two people were now in an equal position.

BaiLi Yun Hua had reached tier 4 cultivation and he had not hidden his current level. With the additional energy absorbed from his companions, his current abilities were at least many times stronger than before. BaiLi Yun Hua even suspected his current condition was almost on par with a level 5 cultivator. Although tier 4 and tier 5 only differed by one level, the distance between the two powers was as deep as an abyss that was hard to see the bottom.

BaiLi Yun Hua was very confident on the floor of this arena that no one but Mo Lan could possibly match him at this moment and this thought proved to be true. He was completely troubled by the suspicion of how strong his opponent was. With the strength of this girl, she should have been placed in the second level class. It was very unnatural for a creature this strong to be placed in the elementary grade. Were it not for deliberately hiding his strength in the beginning, BaiLi Yun Hua was confident he would be at the second tier by now.

The most annoying thing was that Mo Lan still had not brought out her ability of the lever. BaiLi Yun Hua did not know if this girl had a more frightening shock compared to the terrifying strength earlier.

Moreover, his current condition had a time limit. The longer he delayed, the narrower his chances of victory would be. BaiLi Yun Hua did not want to go down with the announcement of defeat because if that happens, it will be, he would probably lose half his life at the hands of Li Qing He considering that this one teacher was probably sharpening his slaughter knife.

With this in mind, BaiLi Yun Hua decided to use one of BaiLi Yun Xiao's teachings. Well..it shouldn't come as a surprise if he used the techniques of the BaiLi clan.

BaiLi Yun Hua fired an ice bullet to open up a considerable distance with Mo Lan before hovering and standing in the air with a thin layer of ice that became his footing in the air. Mo Lan narrowed her eyes and shot embers of fire at the young man. He did not know what other tactics BaiLi Yun Hua would play, but he would not let the young man succeed.

Just as the embers hit BaiLi Yun Hua, the young man did not dodge but instead turned into mist and disappeared into thin air. Currently the figure of BaiLi Yun Hua was nowhere to be seen.

For Mo Lan his opponent was completely annihilated into the air without leaving a trace that he knew was impossible. The embers that attacked BaiLi Yun Hua were not that powerful to burn living things to dust without leaving ashes, so that meant BaiLi Yun Hua again playing another strange technique.

As Mo Lan had guessed, BaiLi Yun Hua was indeed not wiped out, but she was now floating on the other side with a translucent state.

Illusions.

One of the techniques BaiLi Yun Hua learned from BaiLi Yun Xiao's training.

This technique is quite rarely used in the field because of its various shortcomings that make it less profitable. This illusion technique can only disguise the user's physical form, but it cannot disguise the impact of the user's movements, sound effects, and the user still has his true physique so that he is still susceptible to physical injuries. In essence, other than making the user's physique invisible to others, there are no other effects that help.

BaiLi Yun Hua had long trained himself to control his physical functions for many years running his dark profession. Currently he slowed his breathing to such an extent that the opponent could not determine his position based on the sound of his breathing. When Mo Lan fired the embers, BaiLi Yun Hua had used an illusion technique and moved to another area quietly.

With the closure of the purple aura around him invisible, BaiLi Yun Hua managed to move from the air to the back of Mo Lan unnoticed by anyone. Looking at his unresponsive opponent, he did not hesitate to raise his weapon to the fatal point of the opponent. Unfortunately before the move succeeded, Mo Lan's greatsword had already protected his back and clashed with BaiLi Yun Hua's weapon.

BaiLi Yun Hua frowned. That was when he almost succeeded. Just a little more and he could seriously injure this girl.

Seeing his position already realized by Mo Lan, BaiLi Yun Hua was forced to retreat. For most people with high egos, his actions are tantamount to cowardice.

Perhaps BaiLi Yun Hua's actions were cunning and less orthodox, yet that was how he was. He was the type of person who would not mind doing something bad if it could benefit him. He can be cunning and calculating because for him from the very beginning his morals were not as high as some who claimed to stand under the banner of truth.

After all since the beginning of his reputation had been bad enough so it didn't matter if his name got an additional streak from this incident.

As BaiLi Yun Hua had guessed, the few onlookers who saw the young man's actions started to ridicule him. They called it embarrassing because they did not dare to face a girl directly. There are also those who call it black heart and tarnish his own self-esteem as a man.

Yu Feng who was on the spectator bench pulled the corner of his mouth slightly tight after hearing the various angry comments caused by BaiLi Yun Hua's actions. Some of the comments he thinks are quite annoying, especially mentioning how a man should have an attitude of 'gentlemen' and not use such tricks on women.

Why would BaiLi Yun Hua use that method on his opponent? The strength of a person is not seen from their gender. What if Mo Lan was a girl then she should receive preferential treatment from men?

Everyone present here today had seen Mo Lan's strength. Although they did not see clearly how the girl knocked her opponent down by herself, still such an expert deserved to be treated with the proper respect, rather than being underestimated with a moral cover because of her gender.

Yu Feng knew this type of comments were being issued from a group of men who were fascinated with Mo Lan's abilities. So they were now fans of the girl and raised their adored girl to the altar of the glorified and carefully embraced goddess.

But still, the idol was a bit distorted and did not appreciate their idol. Especially for the group that was violently continuing to suppress Mo Lan's gender as a woman and should be treated as gently as possible as if the girl who was BaiLi Yun Hua's opponent was the kind of glass vase that would break with a little shake.

These people aren't afraid of being bullied by their idols...
