Chapter 2186 - Substitute Body
"Stubborn fool!"
Yuan Chao's expression was dark and solemn. He raised his hand and struck out without the slightest hesitation the moment his words sounded out. An unusually large green palm image agglomerated in the air and rumbled as it pressed down, like a mountain collapsing and the rivers turning upside down.
However, Liu Li didn't dodge or fight back. Instead, she just looked at Yuan Chao with a smile.
"Boom —"
Yuan Chao wrinkled his brows. A trace of doubt had just emerged in his mind when his huge green palm landed on Liu Li's body. Amidst the earth-shaking vibrations, the enormous green palm unexpectedly blasted Liu Li's body into pieces with a crushing force. Then, with the force of a thunderbolt, it slammed onto the mountain peaks below.
In a split-second, sand and dust were sent flying everywhere.
The mountain peak that was thousands of meters tall collapsed and caved in at a speed that even the naked eye could not detect. In less than a breath's time, the mountain peak had already disappeared without a trace. In the place where the mountain peak had originally been standing, there was now a huge crater that resembled a palm imprint.
As for Liu Li, there were no longer any traces of her existence.
"Dead?"
Seeing this scene, Yuan Chao couldn't help but be startled. However, as soon as this thought appeared, it was immediately thrown to the back of his mind. As a dignified Empyrean level powerhouse, even if Liu Li could not defeat him, she would not be able to dissipate her soul so easily. There must be some other reason behind this.
Covering the entire area with his massive concentration, Yuan Chao started to examine the surrounding area carefully.
After a few breaths' time, Yuan Chao seemed to have sensed something. He stretched out his hand and a small ball of green and white light rose from the bottom of the pit.
In the blink of an eye, it had fallen into his palm. It was a glittering leaf.
Before Yuan Chao could examine it closely, the leaf disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared in the first place.
Yuan Chao immediately understood what was going on. A wisp of green air appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with rage, as if he was going to explode at any moment. Liu Li quietly took out a leaf as a substitute and used it as her cover to attract attention. Her real body, on the other hand, had long since escaped from Suo Mao's pursuit.
"How hateful!"
Yuan Chao growled, "Liu Li, you are courting death. If that Tang Huan can deceive the heavens, then I don't believe you! Elder Suo, give the aura that you have collected along the way to this old man! " Two gazes that seemed condensed solid looked towards the distant Suo Mao with overflowing killing intent.
This killing intent, although it wasn't directed at Suo Mao, it still caused his heart to tremble.
"Yes."
Suo Mao didn't dare to delay and immediately responded. A ball of misty white Qi floated to Yuan Chao from his palm. Although Liu Li had also restrained her Qi to its limit, she was still not as thorough as Tang Huan. She still kept on releasing some of her weak Qi which was collected by Suo Mao who was behind her.
Yuan Chao floated down to the top of a huge tree with an ashen face.
Sky Sovereign, who was ranked third on the Honorable Ranking, was first escaped by Tang Huan, then was played by Liu Li. This already caused the anger accumulated in his heart to reach its peak.
Therefore, he couldn't wait to figure out the position of Liu Li and vent the anger in his heart.
Time passed bit by bit …
Yuan Chao's body was like a statue, standing tall and unmoving. As for Suo Mao, he could only wait quietly nearby before receiving Yuan Chao's new orders.
"He's actually hiding over there!"
After a long while, Yuan Chao suddenly opened his eyes. With a cold snort and a gloomy expression, he quickly disappeared into the horizon like a shadow.
When Suo Mao saw this, he could only follow.
"Boom —"
Not long after, in a forest several hundred thousand miles away, an earth-shattering explosion once again burst out. In the middle of the dust and sand that rolled like a wave, an unusually large depression once again appeared in the world. It was still like a palm print, as if it had been forcefully pressed down by a giant palm.
Yuan Chao stood in the air above the pit, in his palm was another green and white leaf, swiftly vanishing into thin air.magic
At this moment, Yuan Chao's expression was extremely ugly, just like a thoroughly enraged ancient beast. The anger within his eyes was like a volcano that was about to erupt, while a ruthless aura that could destroy the heaven and earth seemed to surround his entire body, causing one's heart to tremble.
After sensing that something was wrong, Suo Mao stopped in the distance to prevent himself from getting too close. In his heart, he was quite surprised by Liu Li's methods to be able to condense such a substitute to attract Yuan Chao's deduction. This was not something that any Empyrean could do.At the very least, none of the Empyreans he knew had such methods.
The most important thing was that Liu Li and her double were perfectly linked. Before the double disappeared, she could even use it as her real body. At this moment, a strong premonition arose from the bottom of Suo Mao's heart. Although Liu Li's deduction technique was extremely profound, it would be very difficult to find her true body.
The third ranked Yuan Chao was undoubtedly strong, but if he was unable to find Liu Li's real body, it would be useless no matter how strong he was.
Counting it, Liu Li had already used a substitute twice. If Yuan Chao wasn't willing to be played by him and wanted to continue analyzing the situation, then the next target he would encounter would definitely be a third and fourth substitute for Liu Li … He even had a premonition that Liu Li's double would be endless.
It wasn't a wise move to pester such an opponent.
Around the pit, the dust and sand dispersed.
Yuan Chao seemed to have finally awakened from his stupor. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Elder Suo, you should return to Star Illusion City immediately and guard the ancient transfer array. You absolutely cannot let Liu Li escape from your side."
"Yes sir!"
Suo Mao sighed inwardly and immediately left in agreement.
Whatever problems Suo Mao discovered, he would naturally be able to find out. If he were to continue fighting with Liu Li's substitute, it would be a waste of time, and the most important thing right now was to find Tang Huan and force him to reveal the secret behind the transformation of his Qi.
As for this Liu Li, he only needed to trap her in the Starsky.
In the future, if his cultivation could advance further, or if the number one on the list, Gu Daozi, could return to the sect, then he could come up with a way to determine and verify Liu Li's real body and double. After coming to this realization, no matter how furious Yuan Chao was, he could only swallow his anger and lend the money to the future.
Only after a long while did Yuan Chao's mind finally calm down.
"Liu Li, today, this old man will let you go. After this old man captures Tang Huan, no matter how many bodies you have, you will not be able to escape death!"
