When Lu Yu saw the fake Lu Yu trying to run away, the Ruyi Staff instantly appeared in the Great Sage's hand. The Great Sage gripped the Ruyi Staff tightly with both hands, his eyes warily fixed on the person in front of him who looked exactly like his master.
"Human, don't push your luck!" The fake Lu Yu pointed at Lu Yu, her charming tone turning sharp.
Humans?
Hearing those two words, Lu Yu blinked in confusion; of course he knew what they meant.
But the strange thing is, one person calls another "human"!
Lu Yu frowned even more, controlling the Somersault Cloud to retreat a distance, and with his left hand behind his back, he beckoned with his fingers, signaling Zhu Zhuqing to come up.
Zhu Zhuqing instantly understood. She also sensed something was wrong. She leaped onto the Somersault Cloud and stood next to Lu Yu, giving Lu Yu a strange look.
"What exactly are you?!" Lu Yu stared at her with hostility.
Things had far exceeded Lu Yu's expectations. He had initially thought it was an illusion created by Soul Master, but now it seemed that the elements involved were quite complex.
The fake Lu Yu snorted coldly, realizing her inappropriate choice of words, and exclaimed inwardly in alarm.
But she still pretended to be nonchalant. Her face began to distort, and gradually a mature woman with snow-white hair and a silver-white dress appeared before her.
Aloof yet alluring!
Her figure was even better than Zhu Zhuqing's.
"Disguise? Soul Bone Skill or something else?"
Lu Yu became even more vigilant. He suddenly thought of Qian Renxue's Angel Set Soul Bone, the Head Soul Bone of which could be used to disguise oneself as someone else.
The woman completely disregarded Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing; she was worried about the white clouds beneath Lu Yu's feet and behind him.
It was too strange to be able to see but not sense; the woman was unsure and didn't want to have a conflict with Lu Yu.
"Ahem, kid, I was just joking with you. You didn't lose anything, so let's all go our separate ways, shall we?"
The woman tried to appear calm as she spoke, but her gaze never left the Somersault Cloud.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu lowered his head in thought, as he also couldn't figure out the woman's background.
Her ability to inexplicably trap people in dreams is too bizarre. If she makes a move, Lu Yu fears she will fall into a dream again. Once she is affected, Lu Yu's life will be entirely in her hands.
But isn't this ability to freely transform into someone else's appearance exactly what Lu Yu has been longing for?
Lu Yu spent two years searching for the Mirror Shadow Beast to unlock the Seventy-Two Transformations. Now that an opportunity to unlock the Seventy-Two Transformations is right in front of him, how could Lu Yu possibly let it go?
Lu Yu took a deep breath, her heart filled with anticipation, and said, "Okay! But you have to tell me how you became mine, was it Soul Skill or Soul Bone Skill? And what kind of Soul Beast did you come from!"
"Impossible!"
The woman's answer surprised Lu Yu; she refused almost without thinking.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth and stared intently at the woman. "If you tell me, I can trade you anything. As long as it's within my power, I can give you anything, even Soul Bone."
"You? A little kid like you, have you ever even seen Soul Bone? You just ask me for Soul Bone!"
The woman scoffed, her eyes filled with disdain.
Although she was wary of the two strange white clouds, what were Soul Bone? They weren't something you could just give away like cabbages!
Seeing that the woman didn't believe him, Lu Yu's temper flared up, and he was annoyed: since bribery didn't work, he would have to resort to some tricks!
A golden light flashed on Lu Yu's back, and with a whoosh, the Equal to Heaven Battle Flags appeared. The original flagpole composed of Eight Spider Lances swayed, and the battle banner, condensed from Soul Power, fluttered in the wind. Each banner was inscribed with a gilded ancient character: Qi, Tian, Da, Sheng!
The woman was taken aback when she saw the thing that had suddenly appeared. Judging from her senses, it was indeed Soul Bone, but she had never seen Soul Bone outside the human body before.
Lu Yu sensed a spiritual force sweeping across the area; he knew this was the woman probing whether the Equal to Heaven Battle Flags was Soul Bone.
Although there was no malice intended, Lu Yu's heart sank suddenly, because this spiritual power was too strong, and Lu Yu couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.
"Phew~ Thank goodness they didn't attack directly. With that level of mental strength, I wouldn't even know how I died!"
Lu Yu's eyes darted around, and he thought of a certain Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. A hint of confidence gradually appeared on his face. Lu Yu refused to believe that a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone couldn't be exchanged for a piece of information.
"If you tell me, I'm willing to give you a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone as a reward."
Lu Yu spoke confidently, "I bet you won't be tempted by Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."
Upon hearing that even Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone could be produced, the woman trembled, her eyes became even more vigilant, and she involuntarily took a step back.
With Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, plus these strange white clouds, the woman was certain that the power behind these two people was not simple.
After a long while, seeing that the woman remained silent, Lu Yu lost his patience and mentally ordered the Great Sage to take action.
Without hesitation, the Great Sage extended his Ruyi Staff towards the woman's calf, piercing through it in the blink of an eye.
It was a literal piercing; there was no blood, no screams, the Ruyi Staff seemed to pass through a holographic projection.
Lu Yu's pupils dilated in shock, a sliver of hope remaining in her heart, thinking the woman was using illusion to deceive her.
Then, controlling the Somersault Cloud behind the woman, he crashed into it, and the woman vanished like a wisp of smoke in the wind.
Sometime later, the woman left behind a projection to deal with Lu Yu, while her real body had long since fled.
"Damn, we've been tricked!"
Lu Yu immediately erupted in anger.
With a whoosh, two Somersault Cloud took off and soared into the sky. Lu Yu looked around, trying to find the woman's figure.
Unfortunately, Lu Yu saw nothing; the surrounding woods were deserted.
"You won't listen to reason, Laozi 'll have to suffer the consequences. I'll see if you can run faster, or Laozi Somersault Cloud faster!"
Lu Yu immediately controlled another Somersault Cloud, rampaging through the forest. The woman could even change Lu Yu's appearance, so she might be able to change the flowers, plants, and trees as well.
Lu Yu didn't want to miss this opportunity!
Wherever the Somersault Cloud passed, dirt flew and trees collapsed, as if the land had been bombarded; not a single patch of land was intact.
Without Lu Yu's restraint, the Somersault Cloud was unleashed, moving at a speed of 27,000 kilometers per second, rampaging through the forest.
Soon, the huge commotion startled the nearby Soul Beast, and they began to flee frantically upon seeing the terrifying destructive Soul Beast.
Lu Yu frowned as he watched the Soul Beast desperately trying to escape. Could that woman have transformed into Soul Beast and was hiding among them?
It's better to be safe than sorry. If she really is hiding inside, she might actually manage to get away with it!
Lu Yu gritted his teeth and controlled the Somersault Cloud to rush straight towards the Soul Beast on the ground. The Soul Beast that were touched by the Somersault Cloud were instantly blasted into a sky full of blood mist.
The Soul Beast smelled the strong stench of blood, which intensified their fear. They ran with all their might, and many more smaller Soul Beast died under the feet of their own kind.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing to the side, trembled with fear at the sight. She thought that Lu Yu had already been cruel enough in torturing the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The scene she was witnessing now reshaped her perception of Lu Yu. Compared to the lazy Lu Yu of the past, the Lu Yu in front of her was nothing short of an executioner!
Lu Yu, who was about to stop, was taken aback. He saw that a rhinoceros-type Soul Beast in the Soul Beast did not run away, but instead turned around and charged towards the Somersault Cloud.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "I found you!"
