Ch 121: Still Alive?

“How did you know?” Li Yu asked with some doubt, somewhat puzzled.

“With that Illusionary Eye, it must have been you who killed it.” Wang Tianzhao said with certainty, his tone quite firm.

“That’s right, it’s the Nightmare Beast’s Curse.” Lu Fan looked at the eye with a serious expression, equally certain.

“You killed the Nightmare Beast and you’re fine? How did you do it?”

Wang Tianzhao looked completely incredulous, and continued to ask Li Yu:

“So, can you still use your Psionic Ability now?”

Li Yu, although also curious about the sudden addition of an Attribute and an eye on his bow, but his Equipment Slot was normal, and the Aiming Circle in his eye showed no abnormalities.

“Yes.”

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, Wang Tianzhao excitedly turned to Lu Fan and shouted:

“See, he dared to kill the Nightmare Beast.”

Lu Fan was indeed surprised. You see, anyone who kills a Nightmare Beast will inevitably be cursed by the Giant Eye after its death.

This curse directly invades one’s mental world; there’s no escaping it.

Those cursed are interfered with by the Illusionary Eye every time they release their Psionic Ability, and eventually they can’t even use their Psionic Ability anymore.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no Awakener would be willing to kill a Nightmare Beast. This is almost equivalent to exchanging their own Psionic Ability for the Nightmare Beast’s life.

“Should we try again?” Wang Tianzhao deliberately asked again.

“Try!” Lu Fan answered indifferently. Even if it was really a Nightmare Beast, he had nothing to fear.

In Lu Fan’s eyes, Li Yu was perhaps just lucky, not affected by the Nightmare Beast’s curse.

Seeing that Lu Fan wanted to continue trying, Li Yu said nothing more and directly strung a level 15 Armor-Piercing Arrow.

Then he raised his crossbow and aimed at Lu Fan.

The aiming circle in Li Yu’s eye quickly shrank, locking onto Lu Fan’s chest.

The eye on the crossbow also seemed to be controlled at this moment, forced to look at Lu Fan who was being targeted.

Lu Fan instantly felt as if he had been locked onto by something, an extremely intense feeling of danger rising from the bottom of his heart.

“Whizz!”

The instant the arrow was shot, Lu Fan instantly transformed into an Electric Light form, about to dodge, but his body froze, and his head suddenly felt dizzy.

“No good, it’s an Illusion!”

Lu Fan immediately used other Psionic Abilities, teleporting several meters to the side.

But the arrow’s speed was too fast. The moment Lu Fan finished teleporting.

“Pfft!”

Lu Fan was pierced through the heart by one arrow.

Lu Fan’s body instantly lost its Electric Light form, falling to the ground motionless, devoid of any life.

Wang Tianzhao suddenly ran over quickly, pointing at Lu Fan’s corpse and shouting at Li Yu:

“You shot him dead, you killer!”

Li Yu: “???”

“Hahahahahaha.”

Seeing Li Yu’s bewildered expression, Wang Tianzhao suddenly couldn’t hold back his laughter.

Ignoring Wang Tianzhao’s laughter, Li Yu hurriedly went forward to confirm if Lu Fan was really dead.

If he was really dead, he would have to run away immediately. Alliance Leader, Leader—all of that is now a cloud.

“Haha.”

Amidst Wang Tianzhao’s laughter, Lu Fan’s body actually began to gradually repair itself, the large hole in his chest healing at a visible speed.

Soon, Lu Fan’s body was completely restored, and he stood up again.

“He didn’t even die!”

Li Yu shouted madly in his heart.

Seeing that Lu Fan wasn’t dead, Li Yu couldn’t be happy.

This was his most powerful arrow! Wasn’t it supposed to be a fatal Piercing Strike? How come Lu Fan was standing there alive and well?

His hand gripping the crossbow trembled slightly. Could this be the terrifying aspect of a Super Esper?

Li Yu checked again. He wasn’t mistaken. Lu Fan was completely unharmed!

What about his Psionic Ability…toys? Li Yu was momentarily lost in thought.

He couldn’t believe the gap between him and Lu Fan was so vast, he couldn’t even injure the other party.

What Li Yu didn’t know was that Lu Fan on the other side was even more shocked!

At this time, Lu Fan’s gaze towards Li Yu had completely changed, filled with shock and vigilance.

“I died?!”

That’s right, he had truly died just now.

Even if he lost his brain, lost his heart, even if only some scraps of flesh remained, he could still revive himself through his Psionic Ability.

But just now, he couldn’t. His immortal Psionic Ability had no reaction after being hit by the arrow.

What saved him from the brink of death was the passive Ability—Nine-Lives Monster Cat—obtained after successfully merging the Rain Cat gene.

Lu Fan was now absolutely certain that he had died after being hit by the arrow.

Because he could clearly feel that the Nine-Lives Monster Cat’s Ability had lost a life.

A thought of relief flashed through his mind. If he hadn’t possessed the Rain Cat’s Psionic Ability, his corpse would probably be cold by now.

Lu Fan seriously looked at Li Yu again. He admitted that he had been overconfident.

Even when facing Wang Tianzhao before, he was not the least bit afraid, but now, after being brought back to life, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of fear.

There was actually someone in this world who could kill him, and it was just a vagrant.

If it were him before merging with the Rain Cat gene, if he had been hit by Li Yu’s arrow just now, his grave would be two meters deep.

Lu Fan subtly glanced at Li Yu. Someone who could kill him, if not eliminated now, would surely become a major threat in the future.

He only had two choices, either eliminate Li Yu now, or befriend him.

Lu Fan glanced at Wang Tianzhao. Wang Tianzhao and Li Yu seemed to have known each other for a long time. I’m afraid if he tries to kill Li Yu now, Wang Tianzhao will definitely stop him.

Or…he could cleverly use this to his advantage.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan smiled at Li Yu without a sound.

Seeing Lu Fan recover, Wang Tianzhao stepped forward and jokingly asked:

“How was the power of Li Yu’s arrow?”

“That arrow really left a deep impression on me.”

Lu Fan’s voice had a barely perceptible tremor. He didn’t want to experience that feeling of death again.

After witnessing Li Yu’s astonishing attack power, Lu Fan’s attitude towards Li Yu completely changed. This was an identity recognition based on strength.

Li Yu’s strength far exceeded his expectations, and this Strength forced him to reassess his plans.

Lu Qinglin’s death and mental imprisonment were only the first step in his plan.

The second step was to launch a frantic revenge against Yan City.

Before, he was racking his brains on how to counter it. Now, it seems that Li Yu before him is the most suitable Boost.

Seeing two figures like gods joking and chatting with the Alliance Leader, the vagrants not far away all widened their eyes, their eyes filled with astonishment.

They were even more certain in their hearts that following Li Yu was the most correct choice they had made.

Just as Wang Tianzhao was gloating, Lu Fan actually took the initiative to speak to Li Yu:

“Li Yu, I want you to do me a favor.”
