Chapter 718 -11 I am the Underling of a Big Boss
Regarding Yan Yu’s judgment, Number Two couldn’t believe it at all.
She could feel the overwhelming heat of the surrounding sea of fire, fierce, rampant, merciless…even a brief touch on the arm would likely blister.
Yan Yu’s Divine Sense also swept over the sea of fire and found nothing suspicious. However, from his worldly experience, he judged that these flames must be harmless illusions.
The reason was simple: if the sea of fire were a Spell or Magic Treasure created by Number One, then at this moment, all he needed to do was to direct the flames to close in from both sides and burn both himself and Number Two to death. Why waste so much talk?
Thus, Number One was definitely lying. These flames were generated by the restrictions of the Mysterious Realm and were not controlled by his will.
Moreover, if it were real flames, then he and Number Two just needed to throw themselves into the fire, and they would be transported out the instant they were supposed to die—testing-type Mysterious Realms would not kill.
Eliminating two incorrect options, these flames could only be harmless illusions created by the Mysterious Realm, and Number One and Number Three had found some way to break out of the Illusion Realm in advance, which was why they suddenly disappeared in this sea of flames.
Yan Yu’s guess wasn’t wrong. The opponents had indeed escaped the current Illusion Realm in advance and were hiding on the perimeter, watching the two standing motionless in the center, ready to launch a sneak attack.
“Now, do we make our move?” Number Three asked.
“Let’s wear them down a bit more,” Number One said solemnly, “to avoid them acting desperately.”
Those whose senses were fooled by the Illusion Realm were like the blind and deaf, but even the blind and deaf could potentially harm others. If pushed too far, they might use a wide-ranging Spell to bomb the surroundings or shoot the Flying Sword randomly. Even if they couldn’t see or hear, they might hit someone— so it was better to wear them down until they lowered their guard, then strike a killing blow.
The two of them were waiting silently when they heard Yan Yu speak to Number Two:
“They’re surely lying in ambush around us, ready to take advantage of our confusion by the illusions to launch a sneak attack.”
The two scoffed dismissively. Even if you guessed right, what can you do? You’re trapped in the Illusion Realm, not us.
“Why haven’t they made a move yet then?” Number Two asked doubtfully.
“Because they’re scared,” Yan Yu laughed, “scared that I’ll kill them instantly the moment I make a move. So, they have to wait until there’s absolutely no risk before they dare to act.”
The two fell silent. Yan Yu’s speculation wasn’t wrong; they were indeed waiting for the right moment to strike. But scared of you? Asshole, get it straight who the prey is here; try killing us in a second?
“I think you’re out of your mind!” Number Two said anxiously, surveying the surroundings, “If you can kill them instantly, then hurry up and do it!”
“No rush,” Yan Yu replied, “My Cultivation Realm is higher than theirs, so I must give them the chance to strike first to avoid being seen as bullying the weak, which is against my principles.”
Number Two: ……
Number One: ……

Number Three: ……
Even though they were in different situations, their speechless mood was incredibly unanimous.
“Damn it, I can’t stand it anymore.” Number Three couldn’t help but roll up his sleeves, ready to strike Yan Yu with a sword, “Bullying the weak, huh? Let’s see how you can bully anyone after I chop off your arms!”
“Hold on, it’s provocative baiting,” Number One doubted more than ever and quickly stopped his comrade, “I suspect this guy has some kind of protective measure. He’s intentionally provoking you to attack so he can deduce your position based on the attack direction!”
Upon hearing this, Number Three calmed down. Meanwhile, Number Two couldn’t help but speak again from afar, mocking Yan Yu:
“Brother, can you stop pretending? Right now, you and I are in the same boat, your pretense is useless in front of me! Just go and kill those two instantly, then I’ll believe you’re the real deal!”
Despite her verbal complaints, she had already prepared the spell in her sleeve, also believing Yan Yu’s judgment that “the surroundings are illusions.” If there were any movement from any direction nearby, she was ready to shoot out the Flying Needle Magic Treasure for a face-to-face assassination.
Yan Yu, however, appeared completely unguarded, looking up and putting his hands behind his back, leisurely saying:
“What are you rushing for? It’s them who should be worried.”
“I’m worried about your grandmother’s legs!” Number Three cursed from outside.
Number One was at a loss for words, completely uncertain whether this Number Six was really hiding some secret trick or was just arrogant and delusional… Logic told him to be cautious of the former, but his emotions urged him to make a move since this guy was a complete idiot.
“What’s there for them to rush about?” Number Two also felt speechless and asked.
“It’s simple,” Yan Yu said calmly, “They want the treasure but fear they can’t kill me, naturally they’re anxious. I have overriding strength, and you standing with me means there’s no need to worry.”
“All right, all right, all right,” Number Two rolled her eyes in surrender, “So, master expert, what do we do now?”
“We wait for them to make a move,” Yan Yu said, “and then I’ll kill them instantly.”
“What if they never make a move?” Number Two asked.
“Then they’re just cowards,” Yan Yu said, “spineless cowards with no backbone. I suggest chopping off their heads with a sword and straight to reincarnation as women in their next life.”
“Damn it!” Number One immediately prepared his Sword technique and shouted, “Can’t stand this bastard anymore! Attack!”
Number Three also immediately deployed his Flying Sword, and the two charged at Yan Yu from a distance, aiming for his head and chest, ready to pierce him through in moments!
“Good move!” Yan Yu suddenly shouted, Huang Tingjian flying out from behind with just a half-circle sweep, knocking the two incoming Flying Swords away from in front of him. His feet performed the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step, immediately charging into the surrounding sea of flames.
Flames licked his body, yet not a trace of pain came through, only the heat and the smell of charring persisted.
