Chapter 1107: Provoking Conflict!
Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107: Provoking Conflict!
“It is not that easy to ’borrow’ from those richer cultivators. Richer cultivators mean they have consumed a lot more cultivation resources and have many high-level treasures, so it means they are also much stronger than most other cultivators, just like the previous Gu Fanghai and Shui Donghai.” Tang Li Xue reminded her perfect copy.
“What are you worried about? It is not you who will do it anyway. You can just unsummon me at anytime if the situation gets bad later.” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy replied to persuade her real self.
“All right, I agree, but you have to be very careful, okay?!” Tang Li Xue finally approved and began to look for the appropriate target through the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]’s Wind Floor.
The Wind Floor’s ability granted Tang Li Xue an ability similar to an enhanced version of Divine Sense.
She would be able to observe her surroundings, then project them in the Wind Floor, but the radius depended on her Spirit Stat.
Tang Li Xue was very fond of this Wind Floor’s ability because it looked like something coming out of a science fiction movie.
Even Satellite Imagery Technology was probably not as good as this ability because it only provided a bird’s-eye view, while Wind Floor’s projection was a 3D projection without any blind spots.
Of course, Wind Floor’s ability was not completely omniscient.
If the targets had an advanced disguising ability, such as Tang Li Xue’s [Thousand Myriad Faces], then Wind Floor’s ability would not be able to find them unless Tang Li Xue put Wind Marks on them beforehand.
Tang Li Xue quickly determined the next target and sent the location to her perfect copy through their mind connection.
Just her perfect copy wished, this time, Tang Li Xue found a richer but harder target for her.
Her perfect copy immediately used [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step] to quickly head there while maintaining her stealth state with both of her [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier] turned on.
[Ethereal Form] could only make Tang Li Xue undetectable by the Core Formation Stage cultivators, but when combined with [Void Barrier], even the normal Nascent Soul Stage cultivators would not be able to detect her easily.
However, some Nascent Soul Stage cultivators with powerful Divine Sense, or if they possessed special detection treasures or abilities, would still be able to detect Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy.
That was the reason why the real Tang Li Xue warned her perfect copy to be more careful.
It did not take long for Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy to locate her next target.
Her next target was a gloomy and cold-looking guy.
He was currently surrounded by several cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage!
“Lu Xingzhen, hand over that Sword Spirit Embryo and Life Extending Fruit now, and we will let you go! If not, then… Humph~! We will definitely make you regret it!” One of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators threatened.
“One, two, three, four, five… Eight? This is it? There are only eight of you, and you dare to snatch my things?” The cold and gloomy guy lazily said to the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who had surrounded him.
“So what?! You are also at the Nascent Soul Stage like us, and you are alone! Eight of us are more than enough to deal with you!” The other Nascent Soul Stage cultivator disdainfully yelled to the gloomy guy named Lu Xingzhen.
“Sigh, why do you all want to throw away your lives so badly? Wouldn’t it be nice if you guys just stayed at your homes and spent more time with your respective families?” Lu Xingzhen muttered in a regretful tone as if he was really sure that the eight Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who surrounded him would surely die really soon.
“Enough talking! It seems talking to him is only wasting our time! Let’s just take his things by force!” As the other Nascent Soul Stage cultivator shouted, all eight Nascent Soul Stage cultivators took out their weapons and attacked Lu Xingzhen from all directions at the same time!
PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—!
“No way… How could…” The eight Nascent Soul Stage cultivators muttered in disbelief as they fell weakly and lay on the ground.
Surprisingly, the fight actually ended in an instant!
“Holy crap—! Are you kidding me?! Is he someone we can face now?! He is even stronger than the previous Gu Fanghai and Shui Donghai, right?!” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy complained to her real self telepathically.
“Uhh, not really… At least, Gu Fanghai and Shui Donghai have many more people with them, right?” The real Tang Li Xue tried to argue back.
“Is having more people the problem?! That scary guy should have mastered at least two different profound laws, or maybe even more!” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy gritted her teeth and scolded the real Tang Li Xue unhappily.
“Okay, that is my bad. Don’t be angry, okay? I will look for an easier target for you now.” The real Tang Li Xue said to comfort her perfect copy.
But Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy suddenly had a flash of inspiration until her eyes were shining brighter.
“No, I have a better idea.” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy chuckled evilly.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy covered herself with another layer of transparent barrier created from [Energy Manipulation], and she also activated [Wings of Freedom] buff.
When Lu Xingzhen wanted to pick up the spatial treasures from the eight Nascent Soul Stage cultivators he had just killed, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy suddenly used [Void Shrinking Step] to instantly appear right behind him!
CLANG—!
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had already expected that Lu Xingzhen would be able to immediately detect her as soon as she got close to him, so she managed to block Lu Xingzhen’s first attack with [Void Barrier] plus a transparent barrier created from [Energy Manipulation].
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy was quite surprised when she found that even Lu Xingzhen’s unprepared first attack managed to cleave through her double barriers!
Lu Xingzhen’s sword was not only fast and sharp, but it was also extremely powerful and lethal!
This Lu Xingzhen was clearly a much stronger swordsman than even Group Leader Long that previously defeated Xi’er so easily.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy did not dare to face Lu Xingzhen head-on for long, so she hastily threw all of her soul-based skills at Lu Xingzhen!
“Stop!” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy unleashed her [Mystic Whisper] divine ability without any hesitation!
[Spirit Shock]—!
[Eyes of Illusion]—!
With three soul-based skills superimposed on each other, it should at least be able to temporarily stop Lu Xingzhen for a few moments, right?
Then, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy swiftly picked up all the spatial treasures from the eight dead Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators when Lu Xingzhen was still in a daze.
But just as Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy took a step closer to Lu Xingzhen…
BAAAANG—!
Lu Xingzhen subconsciously swung his sword at the approaching Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy!
The devastatingly powerful sword energy, containing the Profound Laws of Sword and Destruction, sliced through the street and even cleaved several buildings at once!
Fortunately, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had already prepared, so when the powerful sword energy almost cleaved her in two, she instantly activated [Shadow Flash] to escape by teleporting over a thousand meters from Lu Xingzhen.
The reaction speed and the movement speed of Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy were extremely fast, thanks to the [Wings of Freedom] buff. If not for that, she would not have been able to react on time to avoid Lu Xingzhen’s powerful sword energy just now.
“That was a close one! Unfortunately, I have not been able to steal that gloomy guy’s spatial ring in the end.” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy sighed in disappointment as she hastily canceled her disguise as Gu Fanghai.
Yes, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy did not actually want to provoke Lu Xingzhen at first, but she suddenly remembered her resentment with Gu Fanghai, so she decided to leave a ’nice gift’ for Gu Fanghai instead.
Just like a saying: “The more beautiful a woman is, the more deceptive and vengeful she is.”
Both Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy truly lived up to that saying.
“Is it really worth it?” The real Tang Li Xue asked doubtfully.
“Of course, it is worth it! Look~! I have stolen eight spatial rings from him, right?!” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy replied nonchalantly as she shook the eight spatial rings in her grasp.
“But our [Thousand Myriad Faces] skill is still in cooldown, so you will not be able to disguise as anyone else for the next few more hours!” Tang Li Xue complained.
“So what?! You are just too cautious! We will leave this Azure Mist Continent soon anyway, so why do we have to care so much if the cultivators here would look for us later!” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy replied while rolling her topaz blue eyes.
Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched slightly as she thought that she might not be able to live until she faced Song Wuyi and Li Changsheng if she kept following the reckless behaviour of her perfect copy.
Of course, what her perfect copy had said was not completely wrong.
Once they reached the Central Continent, they might not be able to do something so reckless like this anymore, since there were so many powerful people there.
In short, this might be their only chance to fill their pockets before they depart from this Azure Mist Continent.
