It could be seen that the sudden appearance of Xiao Yuyang and Hu Lie didn’t cause Wu Qing to falter, which is what Su Zimo expected. After all, if Wu Qing really faltered so easily, he wouldn’t have accomplished so much in such a short period of time.
However, Su Zimo’s purpose wasn’t to make Wu Qing falter using the illusions. He just wanted to use the familiar metro station and the sudden appearance of the two who were killed by Wu Qing to make a tiny gap in his heart.
Su Zimo paid so much attention to Wu Qing earlier to determine if this trick would be useful.
Through observation, Su Zimo found that the trainer was still too immature. He still felt lonely on occasion after turning his companions into slaves. How could such a naĆÆve villain be so cold-hearted that there was no gap in his heart?
As long as a gap could be created, the phone’s power could take advantage of it.
In addition, Wu Qing didn’t know it was all an illusion created by Su Zimo. He would just think that he sacrificed a slave but failed to defeat the last ghost, which would create a larger gap and increase the phone’s success rate even more.
So after planning layer after layer, although Wu Qing had some adventures, he was still a trainer who hadn’t yet experienced his tenth nightmare world and was unsurprisingly shocked by the illusion.
[Wu Qing, how could you become a trainer? There are so many people in this world who are better than you. How old are you?]
[Wu Qing, if someone stronger than you hates you in the future, you might be enslaved like us! It wouldn’t be surprising. You’ve always been someone who is easily hated by others.]
Each sentence pierced Wu Qing’s body like a knife.
ā€œStop it!ā€ Wu Qing couldn’t help but cover his ears.
ā€œWu Qing, free all of your slaves!ā€ Jiang Wei gave another order from outside the playground.
This time Wu Qing was no longer stiff. Instead, he outstretched his hand to the slave medallion he had pinned to his chest. It was shaking uncontrollably. Although it was shaking, he finally managed to tear off medallion with brute force and ruthlessness.
After being torn off, the medallions on Gan Yuan and Xu Huanhuan didn’t change. They could only stare at Wu Qing’s sluggish movements, hoping yet not daring to hope about such a change in their lives.
Then, they watched dazedly as Wu Qing threw the medallion to the scorched black ground, then lifted the short boots on his feet and slammed them down onto the medallion of unknown material!
Although the illusion that Wu Qing saw was a metro station, after Zhang Xiaoqing left with Su Zimo, her illusions could no longer change the material of the floor as they could before, so beneath Wu Qing was still a scorched track.
Although the runway had scorched and blackened, it was easy to dent because of the fire damage. It was no better than the hard concrete roads of other places. Even though Wu Qing wore hard-heeled boots on his feet, he had to stomp on it for a long time, like a patient with Parkinson’s disease…
Everyone heard a slight ā€˜kacha.’
The little white medallion seemed… broken.
Su Zimo didn’t know the principle of the thing, but assumed that for such a bad thing to be so respected, it must have an excellent protective mechanism. For example, it must not be easy to destroy. Only the owner of the first medallion could destroy it.
After two more ā€˜kacha,’ Gan Yuan and the others looked at their chests incredulously. They had seen the slave medallions on their chests had shattered.
The next second, a sky-shaking howl resounded throughout the playground.
Wu Qing looked at the fragments on the ground in disbelief. ā€œHow could this be?ā€
The illusion of the metro station also dissipated in the next moment, and the world around Wu Qing once again turned into a playground illuminated by spotlights in the night.
Zhang Xiaoqing also appeared once more next to Su Zimo.
The first thing did was rush back to the ā€˜Cursed Sword’ that Hu Lie took away when he died.
At the same time, Gan Yuan actually reacted with speed that came out of nowhere. Before she even stood up, she half-crawled, half-leapt and stretched her hand out to the sword, as if trying to get to it before Wu Qing!
The broken slave medallion showed her that she could kill Wu Qing there, even if it would burden her, who was originally unkind, with a life debt!
But that was what Wu Qing owed them!
But what Wu Qing and Gan Yuan didn’t expect was that the weapon that had been so useful before, upon being inserted into the scorched ground again, would release a black aura that was wrong in every way!
And the black aura was attacking Wu Qing!
Su Zimo didn’t know what happened, but the sword was originally cursed. It would never do anything to protect the user; it would probably even pull the user into the water. <sup>1</sup>
Additionally, it was a moment of psychological weakness for Wu Qing. It didn’t seem strange that even the ghost would betray its user.
Black energy rushed out of the cursed sword. The sword stuck in the ground trembled slightly, even stabbing Wu Qing.
Wu Qing subconsciously backed away and fled. His quick response at that moment exceeded their expectation. After all, everything was happening so fast. Wu Qing’s ā€˜Parkinson-like’ trembling hadn’t stopped. As soon as he felt that the sword was unusual, he released the ghost tool, turned around, and ran away in the direction of Jiang Wei, who was locked outside of the barbed wire fence!
Such a person may really be suitable for the nightmare world.
However, now he already…
Wu Qing seemed to have burst and reached the limit of the human body at that moment. Although he didn’t know what happened to the sword, he was right to keep running in the opposite direction!
Sadly, even though Wu Qing’s body was enhanced, the three star ghost tool was still stronger than an ordinary human. He had just taken out the key to open the lock on the gate to escape, but in the short time needed to unlock it…
Through the black aura, a red sword with mysterious veins on the blade appeared…
It pierced into Wu Qing’s back and broke out through his chest!
Wu Qing fell before the barbed wire fence. His hand were resting on the ground, and his eyes were wide and looking straight ahead in disbelief.
ā€œThis… is… I thought… differentā€¦ā€
Perhaps because his body was enhanced, Wu Qing didn’t die quickly, but the blood pouring steadily out of his mouth and chest made him unable to speak anymore.
ā€œWuā€¦ā€
The crimson flowing from his mouth made it difficult for Wu Qing to make normal sounds.
As Wu Qing lay there, Su Zimo showed up, unheeding of the other people’s surprise. He approached Wu Qing, and looked at the sword in his chest.
To let his boss see more clearly, the ghost umbrella also appeared and directly removed the sword from Wu Qing’s back, holding the hilt in disgust.
[If you wash it, it’s not as if it can’t be sold as a product.] Ghost Umbrella didn’t seem to like the sword very much.
Su Zimo adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and scanned the text boxes on the sword. He found that the text remained unchanged, except for an extra line at the bottom.
Before Su Zimo could see clearly, a voice came from nearby.
ā€œI… can I have the sword?ā€
