As soon as he entered the cave, Chen Feng saw Chen lying on the ground, covered with black mist. It was obvious that he had been brought into the illusion by the Nightmare Devil. However, Chen Lei himself was already at the Ling shape level with strong willpower, and he was only one step away from the Ling strength level. So long as he was fully enlightened, the Nightmare Devil could do nothing against him.
However, Chen Lei now obviously couldn’t withstand the magical attacks of the Nightmare Devil. Chen Feng gazed at Chen Lei and found that although he did not wake up, the black mist did not increase anymore; obviously, he had also discovered the secret.
Chen Feng was staying with Chen Lei just like that and he couldn’t arbitrarily intervene in at that moment; otherwise, they both would fall into danger.
But Chen Feng would never feel at ease if the situation continued like this. Recalling the horror of the illusion, Chen Feng seemed to have understood something. "The illusion is difficult to break, but so long as we find the Nightmare Devil, then the illusion will surely be broken as a result.”
With such an idea in his mind, Chen Feng couldn’t help narrowing his eyebrows. The Nightmare Devil was so mysterious that very few people knew how it looked. Even if Chen Feng had read a lot of books in the Chen family, he didn’t know what it was yet.
Suddenly, a breeze swept through. Looking out of the cave, Chen Feng realized that one day and one night had already pa.s.sed. Staying outside, he was suddenly attracted by the waterfall.
The falling water column owned ma.s.sive force and extraordinary momentum, but that’s not what had attracted him. In fact, what was attracting him was the black shadow in the pool below.
"It’s said that the Nightmare Devil has no shape, but is the shadow in the water produced by it?" Chen Feng muttered to himself and returned to the cave again. He found that the black mist on Chen Lei was more intense than the previous day.
Obviously, Chen Lei’s situation was not optimistic. Although the black mist was growing very slowly, if it kept growing like that, he would be replaced by this Nightmare Devil sooner or later.
"Where exactly is the Nightmare Devil?" Chen Feng frowned, and after looking at the black mist covering Chen Lei, he raised head to look around, however, he found no clues at all.
Was it possible that the Nightmare Devil didn’t exist in this cave? There was that shadow in the pool below instead of here. So, it most probably existed in the pool?
With such an idea, Chen Feng didn’t hesitate to come down to the water pool and agitated all the energy out of his body. The Unknown and Mysterious Marital Art was no longer as simple as before when Chen Feng had reached the Ling nature level. At this time, the blood in his body had been greatly acc.u.mulated and completely transformed into the Ling nature forces now.
All these Ling forces continued to run inside his body periodically to create a faint radiance around his body.
Something in Chen Feng’s hand flashed and the golden long sword appeared again. The top-quality treasure was so extraordinary that it could even cut gold and jade. However, Chen Feng was not sure whether it could deal with the Nightmare Devil.
He flashed and jumped into the pool. A bitter cold suddenly spread all over his body from the ma.s.sive waterfall flowing from above. Chen Feng submerged into the water and could feel a little pressure suddenly.
Chen Feng clenched his teeth and thought, If I can’t bear such a small waterfall, how can I fight against the Nightmare Devil?”
At this moment, a gust of force rushed out of his body together with his will to fight against the waterfall. And he continued to swim downstream until he soon reached the shadow of illusion.
Chen Feng frowned. “It’s just a shadow?”
Just at that moment, Chen Feng felt a hint of power from the shadow below. Although it was weak, it truly existed.
He launched an attack at lightning speed and the golden long sword cut through the sky like a shooting star. The water in the pool seemed to be also cut off by the sword and the sword submerged into the shadow below.
A loud scream came out and the Nightmare Devil was badly hurt.
Hitting the target with just one strike, Chen Feng didn’t stop there. He exerted the Golden Sun Thunder sword art this time. Once the sword was waved, the power would be increased several times to shake the water pool violently and agitate a water column taller than ten people. Below the pool, a deep pit appeared and the shadow escaped without any trace.
At this time, a painful roar was heard in the cave above, and Chen Feng knew that Chen Lei was now safe and sound.
Chen Feng felt greatly relieved because the Nightmare Devil seemed to have no attacking power. Otherwise, Chen Feng couldn’t have defeated it so easily. Just when he was ready to leave, he noticed something strange out of the corner of his eye.
It was a crystal-clear bead, which was quietly lying in the deep pit by a sword. Out of the bead streamed a gust of vague breath. Chen Feng was instantly attracted to it.
"Maybe it came out after the Nightmare Devil was killed, but I have no idea what it is."
When Chen Feng reached out his hands, the Ling nature force gently blew the bead into his hand. Once it was in his hand, he first felt a chill, but soon it turned into a warm current and flowed into his body.
"Is it the magic bead from the Nightmare Devil? Although it was not powerful, such a magic bead was really a treasure. People who wear it could be immune to the demons inside and it can bring immeasurable benefits for the pract.i.tioners. I did not expect I could get such a benefit here." Chen Feng smiled softly without realizing his dangerous situation.
Returning to the cave, Chen Lei slowly woke up and said to Chen Feng, "Third younger brother, are you okay? It seems I have just woken up from a long dream. So weird."
Chen Feng answered with a smile. "That was the Nightmare Devil, but it has been killed now. You don’t need to worry about being dragged into the illusion again."
Suddenly, Chen Feng seemed to have recalled something and he asked, "Elder brother, while in the illusion of the Nightmare Devil, did you see our mother?"
Chen Lei shook his head. Obviously, they had completely different experiences while in the illusion. He only saw a ridiculous battlefield in the illusion, which was full of martial arts pract.i.tioners everywhere.
