He escaped!
No, he didn't!
These were the thoughts that flashed through Gu Xi's mind when the free player fired that arrow.
He had already realized that, in that instant, the free player had used an illusion to turn his own body into an arrow and shoot himself away.
As for the figure firing the bow, that was merely a dummy conjured by an illusion.
At first, it had been convincing enough to pass for real, but once the real person escaped, it simply ceased to exist.
That was what Gu Xi had seen: the person before him bursting apart and vanishing.
Fortunately, when the free player fired that arrow, Gu Xi's Death Avatar-Netherworld Messenger happened to see it.
Only then did Gu Xi learn that the arrow that had been shot away was the fleeing free player.
However, after shooting out of the area Gu Xi had sealed off, the free player rapidly transformed into various things through illusions and vanished outright.
Normally, at this point, Gu Xi would have been unable to find him even if he wanted to.
In the end, Gu Xi would have had no choice but to let it go.
Both sides would take a step back.
After all, Gu Xi had suffered no losses and had even seized the free player's Illusion Magic Staff.
But Gu Xi refused.
Who said the free player escaped?

Killing him was Gu Xi's minimum objective.
To ensure he could kill him, Gu Xi deliberately traced the fate line a little farther
