Gao Suozhi had just been about to speak, to remind Lu Li to dismiss his protective measures so that his Delusion Breaker centipede could do its work.
But the words reached his lips and were swallowed back down the next moment.
There was no other reason.
Gao Suozhi suddenly remembered that the Delusion Breaker Gu was condensed from his own flesh and blood, guided by mental power.
And when it shot toward Lu Li, it carried not the slightest hint of hostility.
In theory, no protective measure should have blocked or isolated it.
Unless Lu Li's own mental power was extraordinarily strong, naturally forming a layer of protection around him.
That was why the Delusion Breaker Gu, which was closer to a spiritual entity than a physical body, had been unable to approach.
