Chapter 210: The Young Grandmaster Girl

 

Fang Yu looked down and found that the sweet potato in his hand had turned into a strange white plant.

Fortunately, it wasn’t something disgusting.

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hey, old lady, what is this?” Fang Yu raised his head and asked.

At this moment, the person standing in front of him could no longer be called an old lady.

Calling her a monster wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Her hair was standing straight up, her eyeballs were bulging, almost hanging outside their sockets, filled with bloodshot.

Her mouth was wide open, revealing sharp fangs inside, along with a long tongue like that of a venomous snake.

Combined with the eerie atmosphere around, and the two pythons tightly coiled around her feet.

Most people encountering such a scene would probably faint immediately.

So, seeing Fang Yu ask this question so calmly, even the originally fierce-looking old lady was stunned.

This isn’t right, even if he didn’t faint, shouldn’t he at least be trembling with fear and crying?

Could it be… her illusion technique wasn’t working!?

No, if it wasn’t working, Fang Yu wouldn’t have asked her what was in his hand!

“This is the deadly white poison umbrella mushroom, containing lethal poison. You’ve already eaten half of it, you’ll die from poisoning within thirty seconds!” the old lady opened her large mouth and said in a hoarse voice.

Deadly white poison umbrella?

Fang Yu looked at the poisonous mushroom in his hand, his eyes calm.

When he was world-weary, he had tried at least a hundred different ways to commit suicide.

Among them, taking poison was his favorite method.

Whether it was arsenic, aconite, or even corpse poison, he had experienced them all.

But these poisons, lethal in the eyes of ordinary people, had no effect on Fang Yu whatsoever.

After a moment of silence, Fang Yu looked at the old lady in front of him and asked, “It’s been thirty seconds, why am I not dead yet?”

The old lady was stunned again.

Fang Yu wasn’t following the script at all!

If he believed what he was holding was the deadly white poison umbrella, he should have dropped dead by now!

Why was he still completely fine?

The old lady came to her senses and opened her large mouth, shouting angrily, “No need to wait for the poisonous mushroom to take effect, I’ll eat you first!”

The old lady’s mouth opened so wide it was even larger than a person’s head!

Just as the huge mouth was about to swallow Fang Yu’s head!

“Stop!”

At this moment, a clear and childish female voice rang out.

As soon as this voice appeared, the surrounding scenery changed.

The monster-like old lady in front of him turned back into her original kind-looking appearance.

The pythons at his feet disappeared.

In front of Fang Yu was still a sweet potato vendor’s stall.

He was standing on an abandoned old street, very quiet, with no other pedestrians around.

And in his hand, he was indeed holding a half-eaten roasted sweet potato.

Obviously, the scenes he saw earlier were the true illusion.

Fang Yu turned his head and saw a little girl in a white dress holding a sword standing not far away on the street.

She looked only eight or nine years old, with baby fat on her cheeks, and an innocent lovely face.

However, her expression was very serious, with her black pupils showing determined light in her big eyes.

Looking at the little girl, Fang Yu’s expression slightly changed.

This little girl gave him a very familiar feeling.

This sense of familiarity was inexplicable.

Looking at her features, he was very certain he had never met this girl before.

And considering her age, it was even more impossible.

This girl was at most eight years old, Fang Yu couldn’t possibly have had any interaction with her before.

Besides this sense of familiarity, the cultivation level emanating from the little girl also surprised Fang Yu.

She actually possessed Foundation Building realm cultivation! In modern terms, this little girl was a martial arts grandmaster.

The title of grandmaster seemed very strange when applied to a girl less than eight years old.

“Phantom Demon Old Lady! I’ve finally found you!” The little girl shouted and charged towards the sweet potato vendor.

The old lady’s expression changed as she waved her long sleeve.

“Whoosh…”

A thick black mist rose up.

Fang Yu slightly frowned and stepped back to avoid the black mist.

But the little girl charged into the black mist with her sword.

“Phantom Demon Old Lady, you’ve killed so many people with your illusions in this area, today I must bring you to justice and send you to the celestial prison for judgment!” The little girl continued shouting after entering the black mist.

“Little girl, you think you can bring me to justice? Ridiculous!” The Phantom Demon Old Lady let out a strange laugh.

The black mist continued to spread, gradually covering several dozen meters around.

Fang Yu retreated to a position not covered by the black mist and continued eating the remaining half of his sweet potato while keeping an eye on the situation in the mist.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of collision and fighting sounds came from within the black mist.

“Phantom Demon Old Lady, you won’t escape today!” The little girl’s voice rang out.

“Little girl, you…” The Phantom Demon Old Lady’s tone was clearly shocked, starting to show signs of panic.

“Boom!”

Then, another huge sound came from within the black mist.

“Ah…”

The Phantom Demon Old Lady’s scream rang out.

“I’ll fight you to the death!” The Phantom Demon Old Lady seemed to have gone mad, shouting loudly.

“Bring it on!” The little girl’s tone remained firm.

“Bang!”

After another muffled sound, the black mist fell silent.

By this time, Fang Yu had also finished the sweet potato in his hand.

As the black mist gradually dispersed, the original street scene appeared again.

Fang Yu saw the little girl standing in the middle of the street catching her breath, while the old lady lay at her feet.

There were several drops of blood splattered on both her sword and face.

Fang Yu looked at her, his eyes growing more surprised.

This little girl was really quite impressive.

Not only was her cultivation level high, but her courage was also considerable.

Although the Phantom Demon Old Lady was only at the twelfth layer of Qi Condensation, equivalent to a half-step grandmaster, the fact that she could defeat the Phantom Demon Old Lady in that black mist showed that her combat skills were also very strong.

While Fang Yu was thinking, the little girl turned around and looked at him, asking.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Fang Yu answered.

“You’re lucky you met me, otherwise you would have definitely fallen victim. This Phantom Demon Old Lady is an evil cultivator, she often appears in these remote streets, using illusions to kill people, then draining the fresh blood from their bodies to nourish herself,” the little girl said.

After speaking, the little girl looked at Fang Yu again and asked puzzledly, “You were clearly caught in the illusion earlier, how come you’re completely fine? Usually, people who fall into the Phantom Demon Old Lady’s illusions die very quickly.”

Fang Yu shook his head and said, “I don’t know either.”

But actually, Fang Yu knew very well.

How do illusions kill people? It depends on the mental state of the person caught in the environment.

Skilled illusion users can create extremely realistic scenes, making those trapped in the illusion completely believe that everything happening around them is real.

Once this mental state is achieved, everything in the illusion can become reality.

For example, earlier, if Fang Yu had truly believed what he was holding was the deadly white poison umbrella mushroom, his body would have shown symptoms of consuming it.

But Fang Yu didn’t believe it, and even if he had, it wouldn’t have mattered.

At first, when the Phantom Demon Old Lady used her illusion technique to transform the scenery, Fang Yu was indeed stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately.

But when he saw the sweet potato in his hand turn into a poisonous mushroom, and then looked up to see the monster-like old lady in front of him, he knew everything before his eyes was false.

The Phantom Demon Old Lady’s illusion skills were too shallow; in the illusion, whether it was her appearance or the surrounding scenery, everything was too exaggerated.

Normal people might be scared to death, but for Fang Yu, it was just like watching a low-quality horror movie.

Fang Yu looked at the grill nearby, where there were still several sweet potatoes.

He walked over, wanting to eat all the remaining sweet potatoes.

“Hey, what are you doing!?” The little girl saw Fang Yu walking towards the grill and asked loudly.

“These sweet potatoes taste pretty good, shouldn’t waste them.” Fang Yu said as he reached out to grab the sweet potatoes.

“These sweet potatoes can’t be eaten!” The little girl stamped her foot, walked forward, and stopped Fang Yu.

“Do you know how you fell into the illusion? It was because of the aroma of these sweet potatoes! This is the Phantom Demon Old Lady’s usual method, using food’s fragrance to lure people into illusions! And you still want to eat them! Do you want to die!?” The little girl said angrily.

“I’m just hungry,” Fang Yu answered.

“If you’re hungry, go buy normal food to eat, these sweet potatoes absolutely cannot be eaten!” the little girl said firmly.
