Chapter 748 402: Complete Comprehension! Witnessing the Crippled Divine Skill!
"Go to sleep!"
At this moment, the voice in Duan Yun's head continued to echo.
The Murong brothers suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.
Yet, as their True Qi surged within them, they did not fall asleep on the spot.
Because they were also Martial Arts experts in the Martial World, it was not easy for Duan Yun to simply use mental force to make them sleep.
"I said sleep!"
In the next moment, Duan Yun struck out with both hands, unleashing finger strength, hitting their Sleeping Acupoint.
The Murong brothers' eyelids drooped as they uttered "sneak attack," and fell asleep.
In their dream, the Murong brothers were no longer in the cellar but in a place blooming with peach blossoms.
This place was full of peach blossoms, shrouded in mist, resembling an Immortal Realm.
Suddenly, they heard a series of "Boro Boro Mi!" sounds, followed by a fierce storm and lightning.
They were shocked to see Duan Yun bathed in thunder and lightning, ascending and disappearing from sight.
The Murong brothers exclaimed in shock, "Ah! Old Demon Duan ascended!"
Feng Ling'er and Green Jade looked melancholic and soulful, saying, "Take me with you!"
Ning Qing said seriously, "There really is a Sword Immortal!"
Just then, another "Boro Boro Mi!" sound rang out, followed by a command "Sword, come!".
In an instant, thousands of flying swords came like heavy snow, rushing up to the sky with Duan Yun, appearing as if to pierce a hole in the sky.
The Murong brothers exclaimed in shock, "Ah! Old Demon Duan ascended again!"
"Why did I add the word 'again'?"
"Boro Boro Mi!"
...
Daylight broke completely, and the Murong brothers suddenly awakened from their dream.
The first thing he did upon waking was to vomit out a "Wah!".
In their dream, he saw Old Demon Duan ascend hundreds of times!
Hundreds of times!
Every time he was forced to recite the line "Ah! Old Demon Duan ascended again and again and again", he recited so much he vomited, yet he had to keep saying it.
He watched so much he vomited, and recited so much he vomited, so he really vomited.
He never imagined that the act of ascending could make him feel like this.
Likewise, Ning Qing and others who woke up together also felt a bit tortured, having heard the Murong brothers' repeated chanting until they were a bit sick of it.
Yes, when something maddeningly repeats in one's mind, no matter how astonishing, one can become bored.
It's just like behind every beautiful woman in the Martial World, there's a man growing tired of her.
This feels somewhat like mental torture.
In the next moment, when they saw Duan Yun's face, they suddenly realized and felt a chill down their spines.
"Did you really master it?"
Yes, they'd realized that they'd been coerced into the same dream upon having their acupoints struck.
In the dream, Duan Yun kept ascending repeatedly.
This must surely mean that Duan Yun had mastered the Source Palace Noble's "Moon Dream Heart Sutra," or perhaps, even more impressively than the original possessor.
The original possessor merely warned people, certainly not coercing people to watch ascension hundreds of times with such perverse intensity.
Indeed, having been astounded so often in the dream, even upon awakening, the Murong brothers felt a deep fatigue as if tortured.
Duan Yun nodded and said, "Barely mastered, though still not strong enough."
The Murong brothers exclaimed in shock, "How much stronger do you need?"
Duan Yun said, "Ideally, I'd be able to drag someone into a dream with just one glance, testing their endurance in dream trials counting by thousands."
"One glance? Thousands of times?"
This statement nearly scared everyone stiff.
Watching an ascension so novel and domineering, after hundreds of times they were already somewhat unable to endure it. If this dream trial were of a torturous nature, hitting them thousands of times, they'd likely go mad.
The Murong brothers suddenly realized and said, "So, the best solution is to avoid falling asleep then!"
Duan Yun nodded, "Mm, that's what makes it particularly formidable. At your level, I can't make you sleep directly, only give you a sense of illusion."
"Illusion?"
"I want to be a Hero!"
At this point, the voice in Duan Yun's head emerged again, and in the next moment, his entire being began to shine.
The Murong brothers and others rubbed their eyes furiously, Ziyu reacted fastest, immediately pricking herself with a needle, drawing blood, and the shining image of Duan Yun dissipated.
"It's an illusion; he can create illusions for people. Pain can bring a bit of clarity," said Ziyu, who had practiced the Moon-shielding Light-shaming Sword.
The Murong brothers gave themselves a slash, and Duan Yun indeed no longer shone like an Immortal.
Looking at the wound on his arm, he couldn't help but complain, "Who would get this? Which decent person makes people hallucinate upon meeting, forcing self-harm to break it?"
Duan Yun shook his head and said, "To be precise, temporarily break it."
"Ah?"
The Murong brothers were shocked again to find Duan Yun shining once more!
So he slashed himself again, temporarily breaking the illusion.
At this moment, everyone realized the horror of this ordeal.
Old Demon Duan had mastered the Divine Skill to make people self-harm upon meeting!
Yes, this was considering them as experts; if it were someone of a slightly lower level, they'd be dragged into dream torture upon meeting.
And if they didn't self-harm, they'd remain in this sort of illusion.
In the illusion, Duan Yun seems like an Immortal or Sword Immortal figure, giving an impression of utter invincibility, making them feel less than even a hair of Duan Yun.
The insecurity generated alone would be deadly enough.
And the way to break all this is through constant self-harm.
"What the hell, this is so perverse!" Murong brothers said with a pale tone.
He was the face of the Jade Pearl Heroes, the Vanguard; in the major event of capturing Wangchun City, he appeared more frequently than Duan Yun, considering himself just a bit less than Duan Yun.
If this keeps up, wouldn't he be less than Duan Yun by another bit?
Two bits, how much distance is that?
Outside, Little Yin who secretly witnessed everything broke out in a cold sweat.
Spread the word, Old Demon Duan now possesses the ability to make people severely damaged upon meeting!
