Chapter 180: A firm mind and determination, breaking through illusions and seeking truth

Lei Yi squeezed his eyes shut, the phantom of Dongfang Liuli's sobs echoing in his ears like a demonic voice, tearing at the softest part of his heart. He desperately wanted to rush forward, embrace that figure, and tell her he'd never considered abandoning her. But he knew it was all an illusion, a trap carefully woven by his inner demons, designed to throw him off balance.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, using the pain to keep himself awake. Dongfang Liuli's determined eyes flashed through his mind. That was her expectation of him when they parted, and it was also the driving force that kept him moving forward. He couldn't let her down, and he couldn't let his inner demons consume him!

"Lei Yi, what are you waiting for?" Seeing Lei Yi wavering, the inner demon incarnation stepped up his attack. "Can you really bear to see her heartbroken? If you give up resistance, I can let her stay by your side forever!"

Lei Yi suddenly opened his eyes, a clear mind in them, no trace of confusion left. He coldly looked at the inner demon incarnate and said word by word, "Do you think I will believe your lies? Dongfang Liuli would never be so weak. Don't even think about using her to disturb my mind again!"

"Hmph, you're stubborn!" The inner demon incarnation was furious when his plan was exposed, but he quickly regained his composure, a sinister smile curling his lips. "Since you're stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"

At this moment, the voice of Qingfeng Tongzi rang out again. He floated in mid-air, holding a golden scroll in his hand, and said loudly: "The second test, firm your faith and break the illusion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the incarnation of the inner demon suddenly transformed into a huge black storm, with howling winds, lightning and thunder. Countless black lightning bolts shuttled through the storm like poisonous snakes, emitting a heart-pounding breath.

"Oh no!" Qingfeng Boy cried out in alarm, trying to dodge, but it was too late. The storm was moving incredibly fast, reaching them in the blink of an eye.

"Get out of the way!" Lei Yi saw this and rushed forward without thinking...

Without a second's hesitation, Lei Yi rushed forward, wrapping his body tightly around Qingfeng Tongzi. The next second, the raging storm engulfed them. Spikes, lightning, and raging winds, like countless sharp blades, ruthlessly sliced ​​through Lei Yi's body. The intense pain nearly knocked him unconscious, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, clinging to Qingfeng Tongzi in his arms.

"Lei Yi!" Outside the storm, Dongfang Liuli's phantom let out a shrill scream, his voice full of worry and pain.

The inner demon incarnation laughed triumphantly, "Hahaha, Lei Yi, look at what you've done! For an unrelated spirit, you even disregarded your own life! Dongfang Liuli is sincere to you, but you treat her like this. Are you worthy of her?"

Lei Yi groaned, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth, but the resolve in his eyes remained unwavering. With difficulty, he raised his head, staring at the illusory figure, and spoke word for word, "Shut up! Dongfang Liuli would never say such a thing!"

"Don't you know whether I am Dongfang Liuli or not?" Phantom cried, "You saved him without even looking at me. Am I really so insignificant in your heart?"

"Shut up! You don't understand her at all!" Lei Yi roared. The intense pain made his vision black out, but his belief in his heart became even stronger. "Dongfang Liuli is very righteous. She will never let me give up any innocent life for her!"

"What a wise man!" The inner demon incarnation sneered, "If that's the case, then you can just watch her die for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Liuli's phantom turned into a stream of light and rushed into the violent storm.

"Liuli!" Lei Yi's eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to rush out desperately, but he was suppressed by the incarnation of his inner demon.

"Hahaha, Lei Yi, don't you love her very much? Now I will let you watch her die for you with your own eyes!" The incarnation of the inner demon laughed wildly.

In the storm, Dongfang Liuli's phantom struggled in pain. Her voice grew weaker and weaker, finally turning into a desperate sigh: "Lei Yi...save me..."

Lei Yi's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the intense pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe. He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the control of the incarnation of his inner demon and save his Liuli.

At this moment, the Qingfeng boy in his arms suddenly moved. He slowly raised his head, his clear eyes gleaming with complex light. He looked at Lei Yi and said word by word, "You... are very strong..."

As Qingfeng Tongzi finished speaking, a strange power surged around Lei Yi, forming a counterforce against the raging storm. The Inner Demon's face changed, and he shouted sternly, "Where did you come from, you little beast? How dare you ruin my good deeds!"

Qingfeng Tongzi ignored the inner demon's cries and floated in front of Lei Yi, his small face full of seriousness. "I feel the pain and struggle in your heart. You want to protect her, to protect everything you cherish. This intention is extremely pure and powerful."

Lei Yi stared blankly at Qingfeng Tongzi, his words echoing in his ears. For the first time, he realized how powerful the persistence and faith in his heart truly were.

Seeing this, the incarnation of the inner demon became even more angry. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and countless phantoms emerged in the storm, including Lei Yi's parents, brothers, and friends. Their faces were distorted, and they rushed towards Lei Yi with resentment and accusations.

"Lei Yi, look at what you have done!"

"We had high hopes for you, but you allowed yourself to fall!"

"You killed everyone, you are a disaster!"

The phantom's roar was like a demonic sound, assaulting Lei Yi's mind. He clutched his head in agony, countless images flashing before his eyes. Those past moments of laughter and warmth now transformed into sharp blades, piercing his heart.

"Don't believe him, this is all fake!" Qingfeng Tongzi shouted anxiously, "You must trust your own heart and feel the true feelings in your heart!"

Lei Yi's consciousness gradually faded, but he still remembered Qingfeng Tongzi's words. He tried to concentrate, trying to grasp that moment of clarity, the most precious thing in his heart.

"Hahaha, it's useless!" The inner demon incarnation laughed wildly, "Your heart has long been devoured by darkness, and you are destined to sink!"

At this moment, Lei Yi suddenly raised his head, a gleam in his eyes. He looked at Qingfeng Tongzi and said in a hoarse but firm voice: "I... believe you..."

Qingfeng Tongzi gave him a gratified smile, slowly stretched out his little hand, and gently touched Lei Yi's forehead...
