Chapter 2019 - 1831: Key Figure
"The fool is you."
Song Yun said this to a pitch-black space, leaving everyone puzzled, unsure of what he was doing.
But at this moment, Lu Ke, who was in the darkness, was shaken to his core.
"Did he discover me?"
Lu Ke was shocked but then shook his head: "Impossible. Even a lower marquis can’t see through this illusion. How could he possibly see through it? He must be bluffing."
With this thought, Lu Ke moved, darting out from the darkness to attack Song Yun.
"Come on!"
Song Yun shouted coldly, spinning to deliver a side kick to his left.
Seeing this, everyone was taken by surprise.
Because to his left, there was nothing but darkness.
What was he doing?
"Huh!"
A voice of surprise rang out, coming from the space Song Yun was attacking.
Immediately, the space shimmered, revealing Lu Ke’s figure.
Premonition!
Everyone was stunned, suddenly realizing that Song Yun’s kick had predicted Lu Ke’s movements, attacking in advance.
However, Song Yun’s heavy kick did not hit Lu Ke.
His right foot passed through Lu Ke’s body; it turned out to be another illusion.
"Kid, your premonition isn’t bad, but unfortunately, you’re still no match for me."
Lu Ke’s smug voice echoed in the empty darkness.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, Lu Ke appeared behind Song Yun.
"Die!"
Lu Ke shouted coldly, swinging his fist towards Song Yun’s head.
Nie Wushuang and Emily’s hearts leapt to their throats, faces filled with worry.
At that instant, Song Yun moved his waist, twisting his body to dodge Lu Ke’s attack.
Simultaneously, he raised his left leg backwards, kicking towards Lu Ke’s crotch.
"Quick reflexes!"
Lu Ke spoke with a tone of advice.
At the same time, Song Yun’s left leg passed through Lu Ke’s crotch; the image shimmered, revealing yet another illusion.
Only to see the illusion flicker and disappear.
"If the fight continues like this, when will we be able to hit Lu Ke!?"
Nie Wushuang clenched his fists, his expression solemn.
While Nie Wushuang and Emily were worried, Song Yun’s lips curled into a smile as he spoke to the darkness: "Your illusion is interesting, different from Japanese ninjas, but still inferior to their techniques. It’s time to disable your illusion."
Disable!
Could Song Yun have discovered Lu Ke’s flaw?
Everyone was stunned, greatly surprised.
Without waiting for them to react, Song Yun began darting around the area.
Every time he stepped, there was a cracking sound, as if something was being crushed underfoot.
After just a few moments, he returned to his original position.
Everyone was unsure what he was doing, filled with confusion.
"How... how did you discover it?"
Lu Ke’s exasperated voice rang out, disbelief tinging his tone.
Upon hearing this, everyone knew Song Yun certainly did something to disable Lu Ke’s illusion.
Song Yun looked at the dark area before him and laughed: "It’s not difficult; just some ordinary civilian technology. If I think about it a little, I’ll figure it out. Did you really think your manufactured illusion could fool everyone? Sorry, I’m just a bit smarter and discovered the flaw."
This comment infuriated Lu Ke.
As for the others, they were still baffled, unsure of what had happened.
Nie Wushuang asked: "Song Yun, what’s going on?"
Song Yun bent down, clawed into the ground, and pulled out a palm-sized black disc-like object, showing it to Nie Wushuang: "This is a 3D imaging device; it can project 3D images, making it hard to discern what’s real in the dark."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood how Lu Ke’s illusion was produced.
Nie Wushuang asked again: "Song Yun, how did you discover it?"
Song Yun said: "On the surface, Lu Ke’s strength far exceeds yours, yet when they discovered you, they didn’t immediately attack but chose to ambush. This means they’ve set something up here. I looked around and found nothing unusual except for Lu Ke’s illusion."
"So I observed carefully and found Lu Ke’s illusions are bound to certain areas, meaning those areas must have something set up to produce illusions. During your battle earlier, I secretly dug out a 3D imaging device from underground, confirming my guess."
"As for Lu Ke wearing a black mask, hiding in shadows, it’s just bluster to divert everyone’s attention. Of course, his all-black attire helps conceal him as well."
Earlier, everyone was fighting fiercely, so nobody noticed anything hidden underground.
Now everyone correlates information about Lu Ke; he uses such illusions mostly at night for ambushes.
When he actively attacks and kills, there’s no record of him using such illusions.
It turns out he needs to set up a 3D imaging device first to create illusions.
After hearing Song Yun’s explanation, everything became clear for the group.
Lu Ke’s illusions lost their mystery, and the group’s fighting spirit slowly returned.
Gude looked at Song Yun’s relaxed demeanor, eyes filled with envy and resentment.
He was toyed with by Lu Ke, yet Song Yun easily unraveled the mystery, leaving him feeling very unsettled.
He touched the wound on his back, grimacing in pain.
"No, I must regain some face."
