Besieging Golden Sand Island (6)
"So you're not going to summon your true form?" Qi Ye shook his head and sighed, "You don't even have the courage to try out a trap?"
"So the renowned Black Heaven Hall Palace is actually so cowardly." Qi Ye's words seemed to be testing something, and also provoking Lu Li. Since he knew that Lu Li's main body was so huge, he had naturally prepared a corresponding trap for him long ago. If he could force Lu Li's main body out with an avatar, then whether it was testing his strength or directly using his backup plan to eliminate him, it would be a good choice.
Unfortunately, Lu Li seemed to have given up on this clone, keeping his main body hidden in that unknown space and showing no intention of coming out. But that didn't really matter.
"Then, I'll accept the head of your clone." Qi Ye chuckled, a huge ball of light appearing in his hand. "I look forward to our next encounter. I hope your main body won't remain hidden for too long by then."
The next moment, the sphere of light exploded, and countless rays of light shot out like sharp arrows. The seemingly endless light pierced through Lu Li's body, and his skin shattered like ceramic glass, turning into powder. The shadow inside was burned like tar, turning into a ball of white flame.
Lu Li's umbrella fell to the ground, its surface pierced by the light sword's blade, and then everything seemed to return to calm.
Qi Ye stood still, his senses fully extended. These veteran gamers were all seasoned pros, having experienced game dungeons dozens of times, especially the later dungeons which were more likely to have long-running quests.
They've seen it all, and are even seasoned veterans in this field themselves. They wouldn't make the incredibly basic mistake of thinking they can relax after killing their opponent. Players have plenty of comeback and even resurrection skills.
Anyone who dares to be careless is playing with their own life. After waiting quietly for a while, Mountain Duke Cliff Granny led Nangong Liuli out of the sea. Nangong Liuli asked in a clear voice, "Master, did you kill that evil villain Black Heaven?"
"It's just a clone, and it's not even certain yet." Qi Ye smiled gently, ruffled the little girl's hair, then suddenly his expression changed, and he jumped away from where he stood.
Then a shadow materialized from the void, rushing up from the ground and transforming into a giant tentacle. Qi Ye's expression trembled slightly, and he released nine halos of light from his body, enveloping himself. Then he looked down at the ground, which seemed to be in the shadow of some huge object.
Qi Ye's expression shifted, and he was about to unleash his backup plan, but suddenly he froze, stopping his actions.
The shadows wriggled and solidified, transforming into a gigantic shadow monster, like a gaping maw, ready to devour Qi Ye. Then, a faint light flashed within the shadow, flickering ten times in succession. In particular, on the last flash, the shadow monster's belly swelled slightly.
The shadow behemoth slightly opened its mouth, exhaled a wisp of green smoke, and made a sound like a burp. Then it continuously compressed and condensed, transforming into a writhing humanoid creature. On the ground, the substances in the air were extracted and absorbed, turning into a temporary skin, which it could barely use for the time being.
Picking up the umbrella that had fallen to the ground, Lu Li looked at the several holes in it, dusted it off, glanced at the dumbfounded Nangong Liuli not far away, Lu Li his mouth, let out another burp, and exhaled a wisp of green smoke.
The protective measures on Qi Ye's body were really strong. Those nine light rings exploded with considerable force, especially the last one when the projected clone exploded, which was really impressive.
In the distance, a beam of light appeared on the horizon, projecting Qi Ye's figure next to Nangong Liuli. However, unlike the previous projection that resembled a clone, this projection was simply a phenomenon of light and shadow.
"I almost thought it was your real body that came out. I didn't expect that your clone would survive, and it even seems to have become several times stronger." Qi Ye said in confusion. He really didn't understand why Lu Li's clone was able to survive the attack of that light sphere.
"You can think about that slowly. I don't need to answer your questions." Lu Li glanced at his skin and the torn umbrella with a hint of regret, then waved his hand, and two shadowy spears flew out, piercing the Mountain Duke and Cliff Granny to death.
But then the Mountain Duke Cliff Granny also turned into two beams of light and disappeared. Lu Li then glanced at Nangong Liuli, as if asking, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
The instance restricts Lu Li and his subordinates from attacking the five children, especially the local disciples. They cannot even restrain her, so Lu Li can only let her leave confidently.
"I hope so. I lost this time. I look forward to seeing you again next time." Qi Ye smiled bitterly, gave an order to Nangong Liuli, and then his figure faded away. Nangong Liuli glanced at Lu Li, turned around and jumped into the sea. Her feet turned into snake tails and disappeared.
Lu Li was slightly taken aback when he saw the snake tail. Lilith, who was sleeping in the Dreamlands, seemed to sense something as well, but then she fell asleep again.
This time it can only be described as a small victory. Although I lost a layer of skin and my umbrella got a few holes, they are all repairable, and my clone also gained some benefits.
Qi Ye's projected clone was actually quite valuable, but Lu Li swallowed it whole, resulting in a significant loss. The two servants will also suffer for a while.
At a distant inn, the Mountain Duke Cliff Granny suddenly woke up, clutching their heads and wailing in pain, blood gushing from their seven orifices. Fortunately, Qi Ye arrived in time, adjusted his skills, and emitted a light that could Nurturing the spirit, stabilizing the two of them.
The Qi Ye's Light Puppet allows people's consciousness to reside within it, giving them senses similar to humans, and even if they die, nothing happens to them; their consciousness is directly transferred back to their physical body.
The problem is that when Lu Li killed them, he also imported a lot of messy and useless information. This information was brought back to their minds along with them, causing some damage to their brains and spirits, which will require a lot of time to recover.
Lu Li didn't win by much, but he did win nonetheless. Long ago, when Lu Li transformed into a semi-shadow creature and was countered by sunlight, he began to think about what it would be like to face an opponent who was primarily composed of light in the future.
In this respect, Lu Li surpasses Qi Ye. Although Qi Ye has an extremely profound understanding of light, he is still inferior to Lu Li himself in transforming into a shadow creature. After transforming into a shadow creature and understanding the essence of shadow, Lu Li created a technique.
Light and shadow are never completely opposite, but when countless rays of light shine on you, endless shadows are born beneath your feet. At that moment, Lu Li moved into the shadow beneath his feet and surged into the ground. What was destroyed by that endless light was merely a ball of Shadow Magic.
In theory, when the light destroys Lu Li's body, another body will be born beneath his feet, and that body may be even stronger because the light is too intense.
That's three updates for today. Xu Ming a short break at the end of the month. Also, I wish all my readers who are starting school good academic progress, and I'd like to ask for your votes and tips.
