Chapter 52 It's all self-inflicted
Chen Xuan passed by a shop selling meat buns and there was a street lamp next to it. He took note of these buildings.
He continued walking on the empty street. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians. He quickened his pace and passed through familiar streets.
After walking for half an hour, Chen Xuan stopped and his eyes fell on a street lamp on the right. Next to it was a meat bun shop.
The shop was empty, with no sign of anyone.
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. This was the third time he returned to this place.
Earlier, he felt that the scene was familiar and thought it was an illusion, so he remembered the meat bun shop and the street lamp.
He walked quite fast and after half an hour, he covered a distance of about two or three kilometers and finally arrived at the same place.
He was very familiar with this place. He passed by it almost every day and had walked there many times. It was impossible for him to go to the wrong place many times.
Chen Xuan took a step forward and set off again, walking straight towards the north.
This time, he ran twice as fast as before and crossed many streets. As a result, half an hour later, he returned to the same place.
Familiar streets, familiar meat bun shop, familiar street lights.
It was quiet, extremely quiet. There was not a single person in such a big street. Even in the suburbs, it wouldn't be so deserted.
Tiandou City, one of the largest cities in the Tiandou Empire, is too quiet and deserted, like an abandoned dead city.
The sun was high in the sky, and the sunshine was bright, but Chen Xuan could not feel any warmth. Instead, there was a chilly atmosphere all around him.
"Illusion." The word appeared in his mind.
Chen Xuan's face looked grim. Even if he was not good at illusions, it was impossible for him not to know when he was trapped in an illusion.
Who is the other party and how did they launch the attack?
Even the Tsukuyomi in the Mangekyō Sharingan requires eye contact to be successful.
There are only a few types of illusions, which invade the senses such as vision, hearing, and smell, and disrupt the chakra of the person involved.
Chen Xuan could be sure that this person's realm was higher than his, and it was not just a little bit higher.
Her attainments in illusion are definitely above his.
"Come out, stop hiding." Chen Xuan spoke, and looked around vigilantly, not missing any details.
However, he called out several times in a row, but the city remained quiet, with empty streets and no one around.
Chen Xuan's face was solemn, six black magatama appeared in his eyes, and he had already activated the three-magatama Sharingan.
Then, the magatama in his eyes spun rapidly and began to connect until they merged together, forming a pattern of the Bagua Yin-Yang fish.
At this point, with danger lurking everywhere, Chen Xuan had no choice but to use his trump card. If he wasn't careful, he might really die here today.
He carefully observed the surroundings and shouted, "If you want to hunt me, why don't you show up?"
However, there was still no response, and the city was silent and deserted.
Chen Xuan took a step forward and continued walking along the street. He guessed that the other party might be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that would be foolproof.
Soon, he found out that he guessed wrong. It was still the same meat bun shop, but there was an extra table and two chairs under the street light.
There, some tea sets and a few steaming buns were placed on the wooden table. An extremely fat middle-aged man was sitting on a chair, drinking tea and eating buns with a leisurely posture.
In the quiet big city, on the empty streets, there is only a fat middle-aged man sitting here drinking tea and eating meat buns.
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and walked up quickly. He pulled out a chair and sat down, not afraid of this man.
Since the other party is willing to show up, it means that he is very confident in his own strength and feels that he is like a bird in a cage and cannot fly away even if he has wings.
"Yes, you discovered the abnormality in such a short time. You are worthy of being a genius who can absorb ten thousand year soul rings." The fat middle-aged man drank tea slowly, very leisurely.
Chen Xuan frowned, and a figure flashed through his mind. A powerful illusion-type soul master appeared in Tiandou City, and took action at the critical moment of the All-Continent Soul Master Competition. Soon, a face that met all the conditions gradually became clear.
"Are you, the team leader teacher of Canghui College - Shi Nian?" Chen Xuan asked, basically certain of it.
The obese middle-aged man was drinking tea, looking calm and composed, but the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.
"It seems that my guess was correct." Chen Xuan's eyes were sharp and he captured this scene.
This made him even more confused. The time didn't match. Didn't this old guy die a long time ago?
In the original timeline, in order to allow Canghui Academy to pass the preliminary round, Shi Nian secretly assassinated every powerful opponent, and Tang San was one of them.
However, he was too conceited, thinking that his own illusion was invincible and no one could break it. As a result, he was careless and was hit by Tang San's Deadly Soul-Hunting Hell Sticker and was killed by the poison.
This hidden weapon is extremely poisonous. Anyone who comes into contact with it will die. Even a Titled Douluo cannot withstand this poison.
"Why are you targeting me?" Chen Xuan didn't understand and was extremely confused.
Even if the time doesn't match, we shouldn't look for him, but Tang San.
"why?"
Shi Nian suddenly laughed, his laugh was extremely ironic, and said, "Forget it, I'll let you die knowing full well."
Shi Nian said in a deep voice: "Back then, on the way to the Xingdou Great Forest, your Shrek Academy humiliated my Canghui Academy. Do you think this grudge is over?"
"That's because I'm still a student at Blue Bully Academy. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?" Chen Xuan said calmly.
Shi Nian showed a cruel smile and said, "How can it be irrelevant? Who asked you to join Shrek Academy?"
"Just because of this, you want to kill me? That's too domineering." Chen Xuan said.
Shi Nian's smile was as cruel as a venomous snake, gradually becoming perverted, and he said: "Of course there is a second reason. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being too outstanding. Your ten thousand year spirit ring is such an evil thing. Without you, the stumbling block of our Canghui Academy can be removed."
"Then you should go find Tang San or Dai Mubai." Chen Xuan said.
At the same time, he was speechless. He couldn't tell who the important person was among Shrek. He was really old and confused.
"Do you think I don't want to?" Shi Nian said with a sinister look on his face, "I have been keeping an eye on that guy called Tang San for five days, and I haven't had a single chance to take action against him."
Then, he generously admitted that he had started hunting Tang San and Dai Mubai a week ago, but these two people never returned to the academy alone.
Especially Tang San, who is surrounded by either partners, teachers, Ning Fengzhi, royal nobles, etc.
Only Chen Xuan is almost always alone, making him the easiest to target.
After hearing this, Chen Xuan felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly and was speechless. It turned out that if he didn't live in the college, he would not have been in the situation he is in today.
In fact, during this period of time, Tang San came back very late every day, and it was because Xiao Wu didn't want to see him that he spent his time on other things.
If Chen Xuan knew that this matter was related to him, it would be more painful than killing him.
He now felt that the world was full of malice, as if it wanted to wipe out him as a time traveler.
"Okay, I've finished what I want to say, and you can die now." Shi Nian drank the last sip of tea and stood up.
"This is yours..."
Shi Nian stomped his feet violently, and a huge earthquake occurred in Tiandou City.
In an instant, the whole world was turned upside down, time and space were dislocated, cities, houses, and streets were shattered, like a mirror, broken into pieces of fragments.
A brand new world appears.
In the real world, the two appeared in a forest where there were flourishing plants and flowers. There was a big tree as thick as a water tank, standing tall from top to bottom.
