Battle Before the Hotel
For someone like the Death Overlord who enjoys having fun, these little tricks are quite interesting, and she wants to learn them, but since she's not at the Paragon, she just can't master them.
After the green shadow clone of the Life Overlord and the Death Overlord comforted her for a while, Lin Lei and Beibei also arrived at their side.
Fengyun's Energy Avatar spoke directly, "The little guy is quite young!"
"To have this kind of strength at such a young age, you have a bright future ahead of you. Why bother risking your life here?"
Lin Lei paused for a moment before replying, "I didn't come here to become Lord God Envoy. A friend told me that I could find the legendary Death Overlord here in the Nether Mountain, so I came."
"I want to ask the Death Overlord to help me find the spirits of my relatives who came to the Netherworld after their death, so that they can regain their memories."
"This matter cannot be delayed!"
The Death Overlord and the Life Overlord glanced at Fengyun. Fengyun had already arranged for the Death Overlord to protect Lin Lei and Dilia's deceased parents and relatives. However, Fengyun was currently in the role of an NPC, so he nodded and said, "Oh, you need the Death Overlord's help?"
"Then let me assess your strength first, so that you won't be too weak and end up losing your life instead of saving people."
Upon hearing this, the impatient Beibei immediately jumped out and said, "Hahaha~, it should have been done a long time ago!"
"Do you think you're the Death Overlord? Asking all these questions, let me, Beibei, see if your strength is as great as the people in the hotel say!"
Then...
Bang!
With a loud bang, Beibei's figure was smashed diagonally into the deep soil like a cannonball.
Seeing this, Lin Lei roared "Beibei!" and was about to fly towards the direction where Beibei had been knocked into the mud, but Beibei had already flown out of the ground first and laughed wildly, "So powerful, but with this little strength, you can't hurt me!"
Although in terms of strength, Beibei has only recently become High God, in terms of physique alone, the Godhead Essence he has absorbed over the years is no joke.
Fengyun held back and didn't actually hurt him; he was merely driven back!
Beibei hasn't been taught a lesson by the Life Overlord yet, so she's still extremely confident in her defenses.
In this state, Fengyun had no choice but to unleash a slightly more powerful attack, striking Beibei Bei with a dark energy ball that sank deep into the soil once more.
At the same time, he flicked his fishing rod, sending Lin Lei, who had attacked from the side, staggering. A follow-up kick sent him hurtling back like a cannonball against Beibei had already been launched into the air.
It's only thanks to Lin Lei's current physical strength that his divine body was severely damaged, otherwise, just a couple of blows would have seriously injured him.
After rushing out again, Beibei was grabbed by the shoulder by Lin Lei behind him. The two exchanged a glance and then tacitly attacked Fengyun's shadow clone from two directions.
The reason they chose to continue fighting despite such an obvious skill gap was that the Fengyun Shadow Clone was only displaying extremely high Combat Skill resulting from its profound understanding of the laws.
In terms of true strength, Fengyun's Energy Avatar is only at the level of an ordinary High God.
The sounds of their fighting attracted the attention of the people inside the hotel. Not daring to observe with their divine sense, they all peeked out to watch this boring battle.
"Hahaha~, another one's gone. I wonder how long these two guys can hold out?"
"Hmm, I reckon they can hold out for at least 50 breaths. Look at these two, every time they get knocked away, they quickly rush back to fight. They're clearly not seriously injured."
"This shows that they are physically very strong!"
"Especially that short guy, even though his aura is weaker than the tall guy's, the tall guy still showed some unusual symptoms after being knocked away, and these symptoms became more severe as the shadowy man's attack became heavier. But the short guy hasn't shown any unusual symptoms yet, which shows that he has a strong physique."
"I estimate that its true form is some kind of Super Divine Beast, and it can easily last for 30 breaths!"
"Hahaha~, the shadowy man's attacks will only get heavier and heavier, the later they go, the heavier they get. I bet he won't last 45 breaths!"
"If you look closely, you'll see that the short guy is simply acting as a human shield for the tall guy."
"Their own combat foundation is too weak, they won't last long."
"Ha~, but he still didn't do too badly. I bet he can last 55 breaths!"
"I bet they can hit the shadowy figure three times before they're defeated!"
"I bet they can hit the shadowy figure twice in total!"
As the battle progressed, more and more people began to pay attention to Lin Lei and Beibei's fight against the shadow clone, and more and more people started making wild guesses about the battle's duration and the number of attacks.
However, the battle lasted longer than those present and those involved had anticipated.
Lin Lei and Beibei held out against Fengyun for a full two minutes!
After realizing they were no match for the shadow clone, Lin Lei and Beibei abandoned their attack entirely, not wanting to reveal too many of their trump cards.
Lin Lei even lifted Beibei up to use as a human shield to defend against Fengyun's attacks, and he managed to hold out for two minutes.
The reason why the two of them did not voluntarily admit defeat even after going to such lengths was because it concerned what reward they could ultimately obtain from the shadowy clone formed by the Fengyun.
Based on information they gathered from previous discussions, they already knew that the quality of the reward was determined by the duration of the battle and the number of times the Fengyun Shadow clone was attacked.
Realizing the vast difference in skill between themselves and the shadowy figure, and with little regard for the number of hits, all the two could do was stall for time.
Moreover, stalling for time in this way also maximizes the concealment of one's methods.
After all, once the Nether Mountain is open to the full moon, the guests of the Nether Hotel will essentially be competitors. In this situation, the more of one's abilities are revealed, the lower the chance of success in the subsequent competition for the Nether Fruit.
When Lin Lei and Beibei finally couldn't hold on any longer, the green shadow clone of the Life Overlord directly threw out a green light that covered the two of them, and soon their injuries were almost completely healed.
At the same time, her gaze toward Fengyun was also full of strangeness, because the essence of the Energy Avatar is a ball of energy, and its combat power depends entirely on its understanding of the laws and its control over energy.
The Overgod's proud Willpower cannot be fully exerted!
Her green shadow clone, relying on her Paragon understanding of the laws, could only barely unleash power close to that of Asura, and the duration was very short!
