Only My Way

Chapter 753: Not Seeing, Not Hearing, Not Smelling…

“So, who exactly was behind this?”

Amidst the general rejoicing, someone finally voiced a crucial question.

Then, everyone quickly realized that no one was stepping forward to claim credit for this achievement.

However, regarding this point.

Everyone wasn't too surprised.

They simply wore a calm expression and remarked:

“Alright, how truly low-profile…”

“Although we don't know whose ability is currently in effect, please do your best to maintain it, and by all means, don't let Ling Wuyuan break free from its effects.”

“Indeed! Indeed!”

No one dwelled on who the ability's initiator was.

Everyone assumed that the person wanted to conceal their identity to keep a trump card for themselves.

In this regard.

Everyone present expressed their complete understanding.

After all, in many cases, [Divine Abilities] are actually everyone's greatest trump card.

Therefore, regarding the [Divine Abilities] they possess, especially the [Innate Divine Abilities] among them, everyone wanting to keep them secret is not something incomprehensible.

Thus, since the hero didn't want to reveal their identity, naturally, everyone had no objections.

However.

Thinking that someone among those present was actually hiding this move.

Not only was its activation silent and unnoticed, but its effects were also so powerful.

While being vigilant.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly marvel at how this world is indeed filled with all sorts of extraordinary people…

In short, all thirteen people present had this kind of thought.

Even those stronger individuals who were remotely watching the battle through various methods held similar thoughts.

They all felt that the truth was that someone among those thirteen was secretly showing off a unique skill to everyone.

No one even imagined that the matter was actually caused by Ling Wuyuan himself, that he was suffering from a debuff from his own ability…

For a time.

Some spectators immediately praised:

“Although this kind of [Divine Ability] doesn't have any direct killing effect, it can be activated so covertly, and its effect is so strong that even Ling Wuyuan couldn't be exempted…”

“In an unprepared situation.”

“If an enemy with similar strength secretly used this kind of ability, I'm afraid most people would die quite frustratingly…”

“This power is truly a rare ability!”

“It seems that even using it as a last resort would be enough.”

“Moreover, even we have no way to detect how the other party activated it… This power truly has considerable potential, and it might become very troublesome if it advances to the [Heart Domain Realm]!”

Thinking of this.

The spectators couldn't help but scan back and forth across the thirteen people.

The activation was extremely concealed, but the effect was extremely powerful.

This kind of power was simply a god-tier skill for ambushes, and no one could afford to ignore it.

But… unfortunately, no matter how much they observed, they couldn't figure out who was secretly activating the ability.

They could only helplessly lament that the target was indeed hiding very deeply, and their disguise ability was almost perfect.

Before long.

Their gazes could only return once again to Ling Wuyuan, who was being besieged.

That was a gaze filled with scrutiny, doubt, incomprehension, but also greed and jealousy. They couldn't understand why Ling Wuyuan could be so strong.

It was one thing before.

But now, he had clearly lost his sight and hearing.

Even his sense of touch and smell… and other senses might have been affected.

But he was still able to forcibly stabilize the situation. Was this reasonable?

Could it be that he was completely relying on his mental power and true energy to sense his opponents' actions?

Under normal circumstances, when the level of strength is similar and the number of combatants is relatively small, it is not difficult to do such a thing.

But right now, in that battlefield, there are more than a dozen forces entangled together. Trying to completely rely on mental power and true energy to sense opponents in this situation is simply courting death.

Especially since Ling Wuyuan's mental power is far inferior to everyone else present.

His true energy is not even true essence, making it even more so.

All sorts of interference.

Could completely distort the truth of the matter into something completely irrelevant.

And this.

Is also one of the main reasons why cultivators often possess a fairly strong physique.

The physical body, no matter what, is one of the most reliable forces.

You may not be good at hand-to-hand combat.

But your physical body must reach a certain level of strength.

At this moment, whether it was the thirteen people who were fighting, or those who were secretly watching, everyone could be sure that, under normal circumstances, Ling Wuyuan should be considered to have truly reached the end of his rope.

He doesn't even know where his enemies are, so what is he relying on to fight?

As everyone's target.

He should have already been destined to lose!

However, even so, Ling Wuyuan was actually forcibly maintaining the situation!

Was this reasonable!?

Everyone simply couldn't understand how he was doing it.

And the answer to the question is actually very simple.

'Since hearing, sight, smell, and even touch, true energy, and mental power… are all affected, then just give them all up…'

While thinking so.

Ling Wuyuan simply closed his eyes, ignored the various ghostly noises constantly pouring into his ears, suppressed all irrelevant thoughts, and withdrew all true energy and mental power into his body… his expression was extremely calm as he touched the blade of the sword in his hand.

That was a rare feeling of peace.

Although he couldn't sense anything.

Couldn't hear, couldn't see, couldn't smell… it was as if he was in an extremely silent void.

But facing this situation of completely disconnecting from the outside world.

Ling Wuyuan's heart had no fear at all, only a sense of familiarity and security…

Even though he knew very well that his enemies were launching various attacks against him.

At this moment, he chose to entrust himself to his instincts, to his innate ability to predict danger…

As for developing fear due to the unfavorable situation!?

For him.

That was completely impossible.

Even if he was surrounded by enemies.

Even if the situation was not good.

He still didn't think he would lose.

Reason?

Very simple.

He felt that he should rightfully stand at the highest point.

Therefore, all difficulties should rightfully be overcome by him.

That was far more natural than people walking on the ground, fish swimming in the water, and birds flying in the sky.

Therefore.

He would not be confused, and even less would he be afraid!!

In a trance, when his heart was calm to the extreme.

Even the life signs on Ling Wuyuan's body seemed to have stopped…

As his opponents.

Those enemies who were besieging him.

Suddenly, a feeling welled up in their hearts… the person in front of them was clearly close at hand, but also seemed extremely far away.

Moreover… for some reason.

At this moment.

The other party didn't seem like a living person in their perception.

More like some kind of plant, or even like some more abstract natural landscape, like a majestic, unmoving mountain, or a lake without ripples…

'Has something happened?'

Looking at that figure holding a sword in one hand, with his eyes tightly closed, and his body motionless.

In their hearts.

They couldn't help but give birth to this doubt.

Then, as the target being besieged by them, Ling Wuyuan suddenly moved!!

With a speed far exceeding any previous period… striking first after starting last!!

Following his instincts.

Following his predictions.

With a strange but perfect angle, he swung the long sword in his hand!!

Accurately hitting the place where he felt he should hit…

That was an enemy's abdomen.

And that was the weak point in the other party's defense.

Until the long sword in Ling Wuyuan's hand completely penetrated the other party, the other party didn't react to what had happened.

“??”

“…Aren't you blind??”

Without answering the other party's question.

Ling Wuyuan slashed the long sword in his hand horizontally, cutting the other party's body in half on the spot.

After all.

Ling Wuyuan, who had sealed off his sight, hearing, smell, and touch, simply didn't know what he was doing, and didn't know what the other party was saying. He was simply doing what he felt he should be doing…

In the next moment.

He, who had completely entrusted his actions to instinct, began to move at super high speed.

Wantonly attacking all the targets he felt he should attack…

I don't know what I'm doing.

I don't know what I'm cutting.

I don't know what the meaning of all this is.

But I know, I should do this.
