Chapter 242 - We Don't Have It!

"What....a-are....you....d-doing?" 

The fake Ruoshan asked as he stared at the young girl with his eyes popping out like small candies as he kept stepping back to create some distance between himself and the weird girl.

Everything was going fine just ten minutes ago. The girl was under his control and she was almost at the very edge of giving up.

However, what he never expected was for that dead tired girl to suddenly muster out a bit of her strength which was enough to take him by surprise and she succeeded in pulling herself out from his arms.

By the time he and his even lazier companions realized what was happening, five Li Ming were standing in front of them rather than just one.

Each one carrying a deathly dagger in her hands that shone with silver light covering them from tip to hilt. 

As those five girls kept closing in towards the five fake Immortals, the latter had no other choice but to retreat.

They only know how to torture their prey mentally. Unfortunately, they had no idea how to deal with a weapon.

Therefore, since the young girl succeeded in escaping from the mental torture that they prepared for her after looking through her memories, now they were the ones who were in danger.

They were not humans, so they did not fear about dying. However, it looked like they would going to be defeated by the young girl.

A small smile appeared on the lips of the fake Ruoshan as he realized that the young girl in front of him was actually a genius as she succeeded in breaking through the mental barriers within just five hours.

The rest of her companions were still locked under the illusions of their own mental tortures and were nowhere near breaking out of the arrays.

However, the fake Ruoshan still needed to try at least one more to tame the girl and once again took control on her mind.

It was a pity that no one was able to see what was going on with Li Ming and her illusion array. 

Not because they missed the chance of watching a young generation genius using her cultivation and internal energy in the best way possible. Rather, it was because they missed the chance of finding out exactly what kind of danger was waiting in the shadows just for the right moment before it will pounce on the three realms to destroy them.

Even though Li Ming herself had no idea what her dreams were about and what kind of meaning they held, however, if someone had watched the entire episode of her second exam when the illusion array succeeded in taking control over her, then they would have seen those dreams with clarity.

Unfortunately, such a great chance slipped away, and with that, the darkness once again succeeded in keeping its intentions hidden.

Similarly, the five fake Immortals who were a part of the illusion array also had no idea about the dreams that they pulled out from Li Ming's memories to build a torturous illusion for her.

They only knew that they were supposed to test the mental power of the one that was sent to them. 

Other than that, they did not care about what was happening to the rest of the world. The mere reason was that they had no brain, no heart, no feelings and that's why they did not realize the information and importance that the dreams held in them.

"What? I'm just making you test your own medicine. Why? Don't you like it?" 

The Li Ming that was in the middle and was aiming her dagger towards the Moon Immortal asked Ruoshan with an evil smile in her eyes as she continued to stare into the fake cerulean eyes of her Mr. Perfect.

"Wait! T-this was not a....p-part of the exam. You were never supposed to threaten us. You should just find the core of the array and destroy it. There's no need for threatening us with such a huge weapon." 

It was the fake Hei Long who spoke this time and looking at his big round eyes that actually were trained on the dagger that was aimed at him, it was clear that he was not fond of the weapon.

"Really? So you are trying to say that none of the five of you has the core?" The Li Ming that was standing at the very end on the left side asked as she titled her face a little to look at the fake Heaven Emperor with curious eyes.

"No. We don't have it. The core is not that easy to find." The Immortal answered in a barely audible voice as he played his shy and nervous role.

The five girls suddenly merged into one and a few blinks later, once again the real Li Ming was standing in front of the five fake Immortals.

However, unlike before, now she looked way more powerful and focused as her deep and cold eyes passed over the five figures who were carrying the handsome faces of her precious mates.

"Even though you all are of no use to me, but I still can't let you all go. Letting you all off means giving you a chance to attack me once again while I'll be at my lowest. I can't do that now, can I?" Li Ming asked as she looked at the five illusions that were standing in front of her.

"Are you planning to kill us?" The fake Wen Guiying asked as he looked at her with a small twitch visible on his lips.

"Is that even possible? You all are a part of this array. As long as the array is intact you all will keep coming back no matter how many times I kill you. Meaning that I'll be exhausting myself if I kept on killing you all again and again." Li Ming replied calmly as she let her spiritual energy channel through her veins.

Soon enough her energy reached the tips of her fingers and within a blink, a rope surrounded by snow and wind essence was visible in her right hand.

"To make sure that you guys won't create problems for me as I look for the core of the array, I'm going to make sure that you will have something else to do in the meantime. Have a nice time!" 

Li Ming said in her chirpy tone as she flung the magical rope at the fake Immortals who immediately got bound together by the rope.

She gave them a last quick glance before turning around and walking away from the edge of the cliff.

It was time to end the second exam!
