Chapter 651: It Tough to Multitask!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“So what? You can’t even defeat me now,” Gu Qingluan said, her eyes filled with casual contempt.
This infuriated Kunlun Mirror. “You were clearly deceiving me!”
If it weren’t for her tricking it, where would it have suffered her attack and injury?
What’s most frustrating was that this girl possessed Hongmeng Qi!
Kunlun Mirror was an ancient artifact, and under normal circumstances, even though it was heavily damaged, it wasn’t something that just anyone could harm.
Who could have imagined that this woman not only had Hongmeng Qi but also possessed Heavenly Fire?
These were both its natural enemies!
How could such a freakish woman appear in a small place like the Cloud Plains Continent?
Gu Qingluan sneered at his words. “Deceive you? Didn’t you try to deceive me first? You even tried to trap me in this illusion!”
Her gaze swept indifferently over his infuriated face. “I’m just returning the favor.”
Kunlun Mirror’s breath caught.
What she said… was not untrue.
But it would never admit its mistake!
“I didn’t deceive you; 1 just conjured what you desired most! You woman, don’t push your luck!”
Gu Qingluan remained silent, lifting her hand, a cluster of flames flickering in her palm.
Kunlun Mirror, wary, asked, “What are you planning now? A gentleman settles disputes with words, not fists!”
“I’m not a gentleman,” Gu Qingluan smiled faintly.
In Kunlun Mirror’s eyes, she looked like a female villain.
It had lived for so many years and saw countless formidable beings, but now it was being threatened by her, especially because it genuinely feared the Heavenly Fire in her hand. It couldn’t help but feel frustrated!
“What do you want?”
“Recognize me as your master and let me out.”
“I can let you out, but 1 will never recognize you as my master!” Kunlun Mirror immediately retorted.
What a joke! It, the majestic ancient artifact Kunlun Mirror, couldn’t possibly acknowledge a mere Saint as its master. It had to maintain its dignity!
Gu Qingluan wasted no time and immediately ignited the fire.
The crimson flames fell on the surrounding buildings, instantly setting them ablaze.
Kunlun Mirror, feeling like its rear end was on fire, jumped up to stop her.
A heavy snowfall suddenly appeared out of thin air and descended upon the flames.
Hiss!
The snow turned into vapor instantly upon contact with the heat, filling the area with a mist.
The flames were suppressed.
Kunlun Mirror proudly placed its hands on its hips. “You think you’re so great just because you have Heavenly Fire? I am an ancient artifact. Do you really believe that Heavenly Fire can easily destroy me?”
Gu Qingluan’s lips curled with a mocking arc, and she didn’t even furrow her eyebrows. “Is that so?”
With a wave of her hand, a powerful white light shot from her palm, landing on the roof.
The snowy-covered area immediately burst into flames.
The flames grew even fiercer and faster than before.
In an instant, the magnificent halls and pavilions were engulfed in the sea of fire.
Kunlun Mirror’s heart skipped a beat. “Stop! Take back the fire quickly!”
This was an illusion, but not an ordinary one.
Due to its severe damage, its ability to exert power was limited, and this time, encountering Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan, both of whom were exceptionally powerful, it had no choice but to use its true form.
So, at this moment, Gu Qingluan was actually inside Kunlun Mirror.
Burning the illusion was, in fact, burning Kunlun Mirror itself.
Kunlun Mirror, as sturdy as it was, couldn’t be harmed by it in the short term.
However, it still hurts!
Kunlun Mirror was particularly afraid of pain!
“You problematic girl, 1’11 fight you to the end!”
Seeing that Gu Qingluan refused to retract the flames, Kunlun Mirror was furious.
For a moment, a fierce wind and heavy snow raged.
The world changed as exquisite buildings turned into dust.
Kunlun Mirror transformed into a beam of light and charged towards Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan held half of a Primordial Gold Needle and moved forward instead of retreating.
The two collided in mid-air.
Tremendous energy exploded from the point of impact, and a terrifying shockwave rushed in all directions.
In an instant, dazzling light and thick smoke filled the sky. Everything in their path was destroyed.
Gu Qingluan was sent flying by the tremendous force.
She flew backward, somersaulting in mid-air, and landed firmly on her feet.
Kunlun Mirror was also forced to retreat, stabilizing itself in mid-air.
The two of them faced each other from a distance.
That last collision was only a test.
Gu Qingluan now had a better understanding.
It seemed that Kunlun Mirror was indeed severely damaged, likely possessing only a fraction of its true power.
Otherwise, with her current strength, she wouldn’t stand a chance against it head-on.
However, a starved camel is still larger than a horse. (T/N:A Chinese idiom that is used to express the idea that even when something or someone is in a weakened or deprived state, they may still be more significan t or capable than others.)
Gu Qingluan knew that trying to overpower it might not be a sure bet.
Her mind raced.
Even in the Holy Heaven Dynasty, an ancient artifact like Kunlun Mirror would be a treasure that countless people would go crazy for.
She hadn’t expected to end up here.
With such a golden opportunity right in front of her, it would be a great pity not to seize it.
The chances of encountering such an opportunity again in the future were almost non-existent.
A determined look flashed in her eyes as her internal techniques automatically activated, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
Externally, she appeared calm and composed.
Seeing her maintain such composure, Kunlun Mirror was in a panic.
That collision just now had left its blood boiling, metaphorically speaking, of course, because as a spirit, it had no actual blood.
It could feel the woman’s formidable strength.
What was even more troubling was that it not only had to deal with this woman but also a man!
The man’s strength surpassed that of this woman!
Handling multiple tasks at once was undeniably quite a tough challenge!
