A torrent of petals rained down from the sky, relentlessly hammering the energy barrier and causing it to tremble. Ripples rapidly spread out as the barrier disintegrated into nothing in the blink of an eye.
However, the petals didn't halt after the energy barrier collapsed. They hovered in mid-air once more, then, like darts, shot fiercely toward Ling Chen.
Ling Chen's eyes narrowed. He used his agility to dodge the petals, but one brushed past him, leaving a fine streak of blood on his face.
This won't do; I'm too passive, Ling Chen thought, wiping the blood from his face with his finger. Illusionists were indeed formidable, killing invisibly, their attacks unpredictable and coming from anywhere.
To escape this predicament, he had to break the Illusion Technique and flee the inn.
But now, his eyes were deceived and his mind was under attack by the Illusion Technique, making it difficult for him to discern its weakness on his own.
