Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

After all, the more he stared, the more likely they were to discover him. And he already knew they were on their way.

The less he did, the more they would think they had the upper hand.

And as long as they entered the array, everything would be simple.

「Several more hours passed.」

The Enchantresses had not yet appeared.

But Xu Lei knew they had arrived.

He had an agreement with the middle-aged man, the villa owner’s confidant.

At set intervals, if everything was normal, the man was to send Xu Lei a signal using a specific, hidden method.

The agreed-upon interval had long passed, but there was no sign of the middle-aged confidant’s signal.

Therefore, Xu Lei guessed that the Enchantresses had come.

And they were likely being quite cautious.

They hadn’t charged directly into the villa.

Instead, they had secretly captured the confidant when he was outside.

The villa owner’s confidant was unlikely to betray him.

So Xu Lei wasn’t worried.

The Enchantresses’ target was definitely the Human Cultivator hiding in the background, tracking them.

After all, two of their kind had been killed one after another upon entering the Mortal World.

Now that they had tracked him here, they certainly wouldn’t let the matter rest.

They also wouldn’t kill a mere mortal, the villa owner, and then just turn around and leave.

Xu Lei didn’t go out either.

He just quietly continued his Cultivation inside the villa.

The Enchantresses were very patient.

Xu Lei was also very patient.

It wasn’t until nightfall.

The night was deep and dark.

A few of the Enchantresses finally snuck into the villa.

Taking advantage of the fact that Xu Lei was cultivating, they immediately launched a sneak attack.

Xu Lei, however, pretended not to have noticed anything at first.

Not until they attacked him.

The defensive black alms bowl he carried appeared automatically.

It spun above his head.

It emitted a defensive golden barrier of light.

As their attacks struck the barrier,

he put on a look of shock and panic, as if just discovering them.

After all, not all of the Enchantresses had entered the villa yet.

So Xu Lei hadn’t yet activated the Trapped Dragon Heaven-Strangling Array.

The array’s range was limited.

It couldn’t cover the entire villa.

It only enveloped the area containing his Cultivation Room and the adjacent courtyard.

Only three Enchantresses had come in so far!

They had to be an advance party.

Sent to test the waters.

So for now, Xu Lei had to continue the act.

"Who’s there?"

Xu Lei shouted angrily, "Demons?

You audacious Spirit Monsters!

How dare you trespass in my residence!

You’re courting death!"

As he spoke, Xu Lei feigned a counterattack.

He sent the other six Treasure Discs he had obtained flying out.

They whistled through the air, slashing outwards.

However, the attack didn’t have the desired effect.

"How is this possible? You’re all Demons of such a high level!"

Then, with a grim expression, Xu Lei recalled his Treasure Discs and focused his Magical Power on supporting the black alms bowl, activating its strongest defensive state.

He then shouted sternly, "So what?

You Demons dare to be so arrogant in the Mortal World?

I may not be able to take you down, but you can’t break my defense either.

Once I summon other experts from the Human Race, all of you will die without a proper burial!"

At this moment, the three Enchantresses attacking Xu Lei were not in human form but had revealed their true appearances.

Of course, their true forms were still humanoid.

They just had tails, skin so pale it was unsettling, sharp fangs in their mouths, and extremely sharp claws on their hands.

All in all, their true forms looked quite ferocious.

But since they had come to launch a sneak attack, they were naturally dressed head to toe in black.

They were, after all, intelligent Spirit Monsters.

Of course they wore clothes, just like humans.

Hearing Xu Lei’s words, their expressions changed as well.

These three Enchantresses were the advance party.

The leader was the tall, slender female Enchantress, who was always beside the strongest Male Enchantress.

The other two who came with her were weaker Male Enchantresses.

"Human!"

The leader, the tall, slender female Enchantress, said coldly, "Did you really think your voice could travel outside of here right now?"

Because as the three of them snuck in, their other companions had already flown above the villa. Dressed in all black, their figures blended into the darkness.

They used their abilities to isolate the sound in the area around Xu Lei.

"And you think,"

Hearing this, Xu Lei gave a slight smile. "that we Human Cultivators can only send messages by shouting?"

With that, Xu Lei put on a show, taking out a Talisman and pinching it between his fingers.

As he channeled his Magical Power, the Talisman began to burn.

"Several senior brothers, come and rescue me quickly!"

Xu Lei said to the Talisman, "There are three Demons here..."

Hearing this, the three Enchantresses attacking Xu Lei couldn’t help but look at each other, their expressions uncertain.

After all, they couldn’t tell if what Xu Lei was doing was real or fake.

"Don’t be afraid. He’s lying."

Just then, a deep male voice came from above the villa. "That Talisman of his can’t transmit any information at all!"

It was the voice of the strongest Male Enchantress.

This time, he wasn’t speaking in the Demon Language,

but in human speech.

It was probably intentional, to make sure Xu Lei could understand.

At this, the three Enchantresses inside the villa relaxed.

Xu Lei, on the other hand, feigned panic, his expression shifting.

He looked like someone whose lie had just been exposed, desperately trying to cover it up.

"So he was just trying to scare us away."

The tall, slender female Enchantress sneered at Xu Lei. "Humans are as cunning as they say."

"But this also means,"

one of the other Enchantresses beside her said at the same time, "that he’s basically finished."
