Brat I'll take your life

Xu Mu frowned slightly, his mind racing. A moment later, he understood what was happening.

If he wasn't mistaken, this array—just like the sword technique he had used earlier—was a type of mental attack.

Generally, such arrays were very difficult to defend against. After all, physical defense could be enhanced through training.

But mental defense wasn't that easy to build up.

However, with Xu Mu's powerful mental strength of over a thousand points, this array had absolutely no effect on him.

The guards over there, however, were already thoroughly enjoying themselves, grinning from ear to ear as they were led on by these women.

Each woman pulled a guard along, heading towards the rooms in the distance.

"My lord, why are you ignoring me?"

The woman beside Xu Mu continued to speak.

"Sigh, I have a secret that I've always kept hidden in my heart. I might look strong, but I actually can't perform in that department."

Xu Mu let out a deep sigh.

As he spoke, he used his perception to survey his surroundings.

Although the interior of the array was winding and convoluted, which affected the range of his perception, the building itself wasn't large, so his perception could still cover it.

In the distant rooms, over twenty guards had already been completely bewitched and had stripped off all their clothes.

And these women were all lying on top of them.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, the women's fingers transformed into sharp blades, instantly piercing through the guards' heads.

Their movements were uniform and synchronized; one could say that all those men died at almost the exact same moment.

After they died, the bodies of these women turned into array patterns and slowly dissipated.

Right at that moment, Xu Mu noticed Zi Wangyou walking out of another door. Accompanying her was a middle-aged man with graying hair.

They took out medicine bottles and poured the contents over the corpses.

In the blink of an eye, the corpses were entirely consumed and vanished.

Seeing this, Xu Mu was certain that Zi Wangyou was up to something, secretly planning behind the back of the Immortality Research Institute.

Otherwise, how could she massacre her own people without mercy?

"Miss, those two men seem to still have some consciousness left. To think they could resist the mental attack of an eighth-tier array."

Liu Ge's voice reached Xu Mu's ears.

"These two are indeed not simple. They must be geniuses cultivated by the Immortality Research Institute."

Zi Wangyou said in a deep voice, "It seems I've truly been exposed."

"It's fine. We've managed to snatch quite a few treasures over the years anyway."

Liu Ge waved his hand dismissively.

"I just don't understand where I went wrong. I have never neglected any task assigned to me by the Immortality Research Institute."

Zi Wangyou furrowed her slender brows. "When we previously robbed the treasures from the Institute's branch, we killed everyone and left no traces behind. How did they find out it was us?"

At this moment, Xu Mu was pretending to be entangled with the woman beside him while sighing inwardly.

He had actually hit the nail on the head. He never expected that Zi Wangyou was the one wiping out the Immortality Research Institute's branches to steal their treasures.

If that was the case, this woman could be considered a fellow comrade.

Liu Ge shook his head. He had only managed to enter the Immortality Research Institute with Zi Wangyou's help.

Zi Wangyou's status was much higher than his. If she didn't know, how could he?

"Miss, let's talk about these two in front of us first. How should we deal with them?"

Liu Ge asked.

"What else? We kill them, of course. Although the array's mental attack couldn't make them completely sink into the illusion, they must have been affected somewhat."

After Zi Wangyou finished speaking, she re-entered the door on that side.

The next moment, she emerged from the door behind Xu Mu, slowly approaching him step by step.

Just then, Xu Mu suddenly pushed the woman beside him away, stood up, and said, "I'm sorry! My body really can't handle it!"

After saying that, Xu Mu looked at Zi Wangyou behind him.

Zi Wangyou frowned for a second before putting on a face full of smiles. "My lord, did my younger sister not serve you well?"

She sneered in her heart. This array's mental attack would force people to tear off their hypocritical masks.

Whatever they thought about the most, the array would manifest it right in front of them.

Since this man said he couldn't perform, it was highly likely that he was truly impotent.

Zi Wangyou didn't find this strange at all. Perhaps his junk had been ruined during some experiment.

"Beauty, you're so gorgeous."

Xu Mu lunged directly at her.

Zi Wangyou immediately dodged, causing Xu Mu to grab empty air.

Xu Mu frowned. "Hmm? Isn't this a brothel? Since you called her your younger sister, it proves you work here too. Why won't you let me hold you? Could it be..."

"Giggle!"

Hearing this, Zi Wangyou immediately smiled and went up to him, wrapping her arms around Xu Mu's. "I was just a little startled."

She thought to herself, that was close.

To put it bluntly, the mental attack of this array was meant to make people sink into it, deeper and deeper, until they completely believed in this illusory world.

If he began to doubt this world, Xu Mu, who was in a half-awake, half-dreaming state, might actually snap out of the array.

Zi Wangyou wasn't going to give Xu Mu that chance. Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock.

Xu Mu grabbed her assets with one hand, seemingly trying to crush them.

Inside the distant room, Liu Ge immediately opened the door and prepared to rush over.

But Zi Wangyou shot Liu Ge a glance, signaling him to retreat.

Xu Mu sighed inwardly. If she were his own woman, he would never bear to use such force.

However, even through her inner armor, he could still feel their impressive volume.

Zi Wangyou grabbed Xu Mu's hand and said with a smile, "My lord, you're so naughty. My appetite is much bigger than my sister's. Can your body handle it?"

"Although my body isn't up to par, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve—like oral techniques, alternative energy, physical enchantments, stamina potions, and so on."

Xu Mu smiled and squeezed harder. "I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Then you're really... quite something!"

Enduring the pain, Zi Wangyou thrust the dagger in her hand toward the back of Xu Mu's neck.

Xu Mu suddenly spun around and grabbed her wrist with his other hand. "Beauty, what are you doing? Is this how you do business?"

"You! You're fine?"

Zi Wangyou's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Of course I'm fine. You didn't manage to hit me, did you?"

Xu Mu said with a smile.

"You! You bastard! You did that on purpose!"

"Not on purpose, just out of care. I was merely checking if yours were fake. Fortunately, there are no foreign objects inside—they're the real deal!"

Xu Mu spread his arms wide.

"You're courting death!"

Zi Wangyou instantly lunged at Xu Mu.

Xu Mu immediately drew his black longsword.

Boom!

The Qi of both sides suddenly clashed, sending shockwaves spreading in all directions.

The surrounding tables and structures instantly collapsed and shattered, but in the next second, they restored to their original state.

After all, this was an array, not the real world.

Chen Xuan was also a bit dazed at this moment. He first looked at Xu Mu, then at the person beside him. "You're not my senior sister!"

He immediately grabbed his woven bag and backed away.

Chen Xuan was secretly shocked. He had actually fallen for it?

Just now, in his daze, he had actually thought she was his senior sister.

"You little brat! I'll take your life!"

Zi Wangyou was already flying into a humiliating rage. To think she had been played for a fool by this little brat.

Her chest was still throbbing with pain; she felt like it might even be bruised.

At this moment, Liu Ge also charged out from the room.
