"I am a Mirage Dragon, how could a mere Fox Demon be worthy of comparison with me?"

Shaking its head, the Black Dragon replied disdainfully, "It's better if you don't explain. The more you explain, the more it proves you haven't truly seen through the Mirage Qi... So your reaction just now was genuine; it was only because you have no greed in your heart that you were able to break free from the influence of the Mirage Qi, correct?"

"You really are a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect!"

A sudden jolt hit Wang Junze's heart, and a fierce killing intent abruptly arose within him.

He hadn't expected that, within just a few words, the opponent had seen through his identity. If this matter were to get out, his identity would immediately be exposed. At that time, not to mention finding an opportunity to kill Dugu Feng, even leaving the Nether Sea alive would be impossible.

"So I was right? Interesting, how could anyone be without desire? It's absolutely not just a matter of greed... What you seek isn't in the Nether Sea, so that's why you could break free from the influence of the Mirage Qi?"

The Mirage Dragon, unconcerned with Wang Junze's reaction, continued speaking to itself, but its focus was not on Wang Junze's identity, rather on why Wang Junze could break free from the influence of the Mirage Qi.

Wang Junze also acutely realized this point, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart, he looked up at the opponent and tentatively asked, "What exactly is Mirage Qi?"

"Mirage Qi can evoke the deepest desires in a person's heart. Whatever you want, you can see it here."

The Mirage Dragon seemed unconcerned with explaining this to Wang Junze, answering casually, "What you see is not determined by me, but by your innermost heart. So in front of me, no one can hide any secrets!"

This speech was spoken with extreme confidence by the Mirage Dragon, which made Wang Junze completely understand.

Indeed!

If he was truly there for treasures, then upon entering, he would see abundant treasures.

But the fact is, he doesn't care about any treasures at all, so when he entered the forest, he felt a familiar aura.

Because, as Yin Guangling had said, the last place where Li Shang Sword Venerable appeared was the Nether Sea, and deep inside, he couldn't help but hope to find Li Shang Sword Venerable in the Nether Sea. After all, if Li Shang Sword Venerable returned, many problems could be easily solved.

This is the reason he saw Li Shang Sword Venerable under the influence of the Mirage Qi.

Unfortunately, wanting to meet Li Shang Sword Venerable was not for the sake of his Sword Dao inheritance, so he could detect the abnormality and break free from the illusion realm.

If his heart was truly moved by the Sword Dao inheritance of Li Shang Sword Venerable, then... perhaps it would have been another outcome.

This Mirage Qi, which directly targets the heart, is indeed much stronger than the confusion of the Fox Demon.

"I'm very curious, why, even though you're a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, are you indifferent to the Sword Dao inheritance of Li Shang Sword Venerable."

The Mirage Dragon, thinking of what Wang Junze could think of, looked at Wang Junze with some confusion and asked again.

Not a single sword cultivator in the world would be unmoved by the Sword Dao inheritance of Li Shang Sword Venerable.

Yet, Wang Junze is the only exception.

The reasoning is simple, no matter how strong Li Shang Sword Venerable is, could he be stronger than Ye Piaoling?

When Wang Junze was granted the Chess Swordsmanship inheritance, he had seen Ye Piaoling and naturally understood that to truly reach the pinnacle of Sword Dao, one must rely not on the inheritance of others, but on one's own understanding of Sword Dao.

Of course, these were things Wang Junze would not explain to the Mirage Dragon.

With a slight raise of his brows, Wang Junze said calmly, "There's never such a thing as absolutes in the world, just like you said that no one can break free from the influence of the Mirage Qi... but it had no effect on me, did it?"

The Profound Ice Sword in his hand slightly lifted, Wang Junze continued, "Putting aside this so-called Mirage Qi, you're just a Transformed Great Demon after all... Mr. Ye has killed many like you before!"

At the moment his voice fell, a terrifying Rain Sword Intent suddenly surged around Wang Junze!

Sword Qi turning into rain!

With a slight sway of his figure, he once again charged at the opponent with his sword.

Preventing the leakage of information, the simplest way is naturally to kill the opponent.

Just like the Fox Demon back then, the fact that the opponent has such a terrifying means as Mirage Qi implies that their strength in other areas must be much weaker. In this way, as long as he is not affected by the Mirage Qi, there is a chance to kill the opponent.

"Kill me?" The Mirage Dragon sneered, "On this Mirage Island, unless a Saint Realm expert comes personally, otherwise... who can kill me?"

Facing Wang Junze's attack, the Mirage Dragon did not dodge or evade, just quietly stood there, watching the terrifying Sword Qi fall onto its body.

Even a Transformed Great Demon wouldn't dare to be so careless faced with Wang Junze's full power outburst.

Yet, when that sword fell, Wang Junze realized that all his attacks had fallen into the void.

The Mirage Dragon before him was not a real existence but merely a false illusion.

"How can you kill me if you can't even distinguish between real and fake?"

With just a breath, the Mirage Dragon's figure reemerged not far away, full of ridicule as it spoke again.

"..."

At this moment, Wang Junze's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

How can he fight like this?

The Mirage Qi not only affects the mind and controls desire, but also can create illusions, and in such a situation, if he cannot truly see through the illusion, it is impossible to find where the real body of the Mirage Dragon is.

In contrast, his power is limited.

Such a full-force outburst will quickly exhaust all his strength, and by then... he would truly be at the mercy of others.

"Mere Heaven-Stepping, if it weren't for my curiosity about how you were able to break free from the influence of the Mirage Qi, could you have lived till now?"

Shaking its head, the Mirage Dragon spoke again, "Stop struggling, surrender obediently, maybe I can give you a way out!"

"After all these years, you are the first to break free from the influence of the Mirage Qi, just for this... I can give you an opportunity!"

Taking a deep breath, Wang Junze was not influenced by the opponent at all, sitting down cross-legged on the ground.

"You're right, I indeed cannot find your real body, but... since the Mirage Qi has no effect on me, how can you threaten me?" He sneered coldly, Wang Junze said lightly, "Do you dare to approach me in your true form?"

The reaction of the Mirage Dragon confirmed Wang Junze's guess.

The opponent's true strength is definitely not strong, at least... after witnessing his full power outburst from that one sword, the Mirage Dragon also wouldn't dare to easily reveal its true form.

Since that's the case, then just outlast them and see who loses patience first.

"Hahaha, try to outlast me?"

Hearing Wang Junze's words, the Mirage Dragon immediately burst into laughter, "I've been living on this Mirage Island for a hundred years, if you want to outlast me, then go ahead... let's see how long you can hold out!"
