Within the mountain forest, Su Mo moved at extreme speed, his body turning into a string of afterimages. Yet he still could not shake off Lü Tian and the other man, who pursued him relentlessly from behind and were steadily closing in.
Su Mo frowned. This could not go on. Before long, he would be caught. After a moment, an idea struck him. At a certain instant, his figure split into two, then two became four.
The moment the four figures appeared, they abruptly scattered, fleeing in four separate directions.
Behind him, Lü Tian and the other man froze, their movements slowing slightly.
"Senior Brother Lü, which one is the real body?"
The long-faced young man beside him hurriedly asked. All four figures of Su Mo contained powerful True Essence fluctuations, and each carried Su Mo's aura. It was impossible to tell real from fake.
"I don't know!" Lü Tian shook his head. Even he could not distinguish them in such a short time.
"Then shall we split up and pursue them?" the long-faced young man asked.
After a brief contemplation, Lü Tian said, "Junior Brother Shen, this man is not weak. He can even barely contend with me. I fear you may not be his match!"
Lü Tian hesitated somewhat. From their previous exchange, he had discovered that Su Mo was quite formidable. If they split up, whoever caught Su Mo might not necessarily be able to defeat him, and could instead fall into danger.
"Hehe!"
Upon hearing this, the long-faced young man chuckled and said confidently, "Senior Brother Lü, I am still a genius ranked twenty-sixth on the Great Flame Domain's Hundred Peerless Ranking. Even if I cannot defeat him, holding him back for a while will not be a problem!"
The long-faced young man brimmed with confidence.
