Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 620 522: The Underworld Descends

The desolate vista...

After Zuo Xiaoluo entered the cage, contrary to her expectations, there were no immediate attacks launched at her.

Instead, she landed steadily on a black piece of land.

Beneath her feet was a sensation as if treading on real soil.

It felt just like standing on ordinary ground.

Then, she looked around and found nothing existing.

Zuo Xiaoluo couldn't help but recall the Eggshell Hell she first entered, which was similar, but the difference here was that everything felt tangibly real.

Zuo Xiaoluo assessed her state and found no discomfort.

Then she gripped her long sword tightly, slowly ascended, and looked out further.

In the distance was a vague silhouette of a city.

However, it was too far away, and with the poor lighting inside the cage, even Zuo Xiaoluo, whose strength rivaled the Heavenly Dao Will, couldn't discern the specifics.

She pondered, finding no exit around and thus could only head towards that city.

After walking not far, a figure appeared before her. Zuo Xiaoluo queried, "Are you Clone Thirteen?"

The figure showed no awareness, just rushed towards her upon sight.

Then, upon nearing, quickly transformed into countless long saw blades flying towards her.

Those saw blades gleamed coldly, evidently not ordinary; Zuo Xiaoluo raised her long sword and struck, causing a spark to erupt.

Zizziz.

After the saw blades were knocked flying, more saws split in all directions towards Zuo Xiaoluo.

She retreated while reflecting that if her guess was correct, this should be the final layer of hell.

Compared to the previous hell layers, the onslaught called the Saw Blade Hell was astoundingly stronger.

These tangible-sounding saw blades alone outshone the prior illusion techniques.

In combat, what surprised Zuo Xiaoluo even more was that among these blades, some were illusory, some were real; though they appeared as real saw blades, upon collision, the expected impact was nonexistent.

Those saw blades dissolved like phantoms into foam and disappeared.

Zuo Xiaoluo initially thought these illusory saws wouldn't reappear after vanishing, but to her amazement, she discovered six saws around her, three of which were fake.

This meant each attack had a fifty percent chance of being a feint.

The remaining three saws were real.

The issue was, those saw blades were as indestructible as Divine Artifacts, challenging her immensely. Her long sword, one of the sharpest weapons, was comparable but not beyond them.

"If that's the case, let me see just how hard you are!"

After knocking away another saw beside her, Zuo Xiaoluo spoke in a deep voice.

Her long sword split into two, now wielding both hands, she swung like the Chaotic Cloak Knife Technique, densely cutting at the saws.

Bang bang bang...

Crack...

Suddenly.

She heard a faint crisp sound and immediately focused on one saw among them.

It had a crack on it, and if deeper, the saw would split in two.

Seeing this, Zuo Xiaoluo's lips had just begun to curl up, but before she could feel joyous, the change on the saw made her face chill.

Only to see the crack on the saw, in an observable speed, restored to new within moments.

Not even a hint of a crack remained to be seen.

Now, Zuo Xiaoluo breathed slightly heavily, with a bit of helplessness on her face.

She hadn't expected these saw blades to be so difficult.

Initially, she thought destroying the saw blades would suffice, now, after realizing this path was blocked, she seemed unable to find a breakthrough method.

At this time.

The blade attacks grew fiercer, forcing Zuo Xiaoluo to constantly retreat, barely able to cope.

Splat.

Her arm bore a blood mark.

Fresh blood trickled down.

On the saw in front, there was a distinct bloodstain.

Zuo Xiaoluo frowned, not that the saws were terrifying, but that three were true and three were false, requiring her to discern each time or risk a futile attack hitting air.

She kept retreating, facing the six saws, compelling herself to calm down.

Given the current situation, prolonged sustainment could lead to her collapsing from exhaustion.

The key was, she couldn't flee this place; without finding an exit, breaking through was the only way.

While defending, she gradually focused on the three illusory saws.

She began identifying a pattern; every time an illusory saw was destroyed, the likelihood of encountering another diminished.

That is to say.

The conjuration of these illusory saws required time too.

As if realising something, Zuo Xiaoluo suddenly figured out that these saws were transformed from the previously abrupt shadow.

The so-called Eighteen Layers of Hell, even with real saws as camouflage inside this cage, were essentially a kind of Illusion Realm, meaning breaking the dilemma lay in the three illusory saws.

Afterwards, every attack Zuo Xiaoluo launched shattered the illusory saws.

Though the real blades continued carving various wounds upon her, her expression grew increasingly resolute, for the interval of the three illusory saws' reappearance lengthened.

Initially, after being shattered they'd immediately reform, but later it took several breaths to manifest again.

Now, with considerable time passed and one saw not reappearing, Zuo Xiaoluo was sure only two illusory saw blades remained.

Immediately, she charged forth with her long sword, reducing a saw blade. Afterwards, the remaining ones, even when appearing together, posed no threat to her current self.

Ten minutes later.

In front of Zuo Xiaoluo, only three real saw blades were left.

Those three saw blades no longer attacked, lying quietly on the ground as if inanimate without control.

Zuo Xiaoluo picked up the three saw blades and discovered unexpectedly that they were exceptionally light, as if weightless; after the disappearance of the three illusory saws, these three could be stored in her Storage Ring.

Although their purpose was unclear, Zuo Xiaoluo knew they might hold unimaginable utility later on.

Such peculiar objects, despite her battles across the Three Thousand Worlds, she encountered for the first time.

Then, Zuo Xiaoluo proceeded towards the city in her sights, wandering in this dim space unsure of how long until she glimpsed the city's outline.
