"That kid's pretty tough, just a coward. I have plenty of ways to deal with him."
The Yiying had been bombarding them for months, and finally, they couldn't hold back any longer.
It's one thing that the battle with the War Immortal has dragged on for so long, but for these two mere logistics guys to hold him off for so long is truly unbearable.
Watching Liu Shinian refine concepts right under his nose was something he really couldn't stand.
"Fine, kid, you just wait!"
Seeing that he couldn't gain the upper hand after a long attack, Yi Yiying stopped pressing the issue, retreated a short distance, and then closed his eyes, seemingly making contact from behind.
"What should we do? Let him call for reinforcements; the two of us can't hold out."
"Should I go back and ask for help?"
Seeing this guy's actions, Liu Shinian knew he was definitely brewing some big move.
"No, this guy also possesses some kind of spatial ability. Even if he uses Traversal to let you through, I'm afraid he'll still stop me."
Li Xingkong was the one who directly fought him, and he sensed the space-related techniques of the Yiying technique as soon as they started fighting.
Fortunately, she had prepared for a long time and was able to put up a fight. If it were Liu Shinian, she really wouldn't be able to outrun this guy.
"What should we do then..."
This situation is indeed quite difficult to handle.
The guys outside are preparing a major attack. The two of them are trapped in this cage. Although they are safe for now, they are like a small boat in a storm, not knowing when they will be destroyed.
"Find a way to harass him!"
Li Xingkong activated the Blessing of Fire on his body, and the raging flames transformed into a fire dragon, which swept towards the man.
But the man's movements were indeed unpredictable; in the blink of an eye, he dodged all of Li Xingkong's attacks.
"Me too!"
The Blessing of Fire on the two of them could last for hundreds of years, but when they attacked, it also prevented them from continuing to refine their concepts.
"You little brat, let's see how long you can use this blessing. It's only a matter of time before it runs out."
Yiying originally wanted to contact the rear to see if she could send more people, but she was annoyed by the two people's harassment.
Fortunately, the attack power generated by this blessing was much weaker than that of his own, so he wasn't in too much of a predicament even when he hid.
The scene instantly transformed into a rather bizarre stalemate.
Li Xingkong and the other man were waiting for Qingjue's battle to end, while Yiying was waiting for the people he had summoned to arrive, and also waiting for the two little ones' blessings to run out.
This process lasted for nearly a century, with sneak attacks, verbal battles, and all sorts of tactics being employed in turn.
With no end in sight for either side, it seemed the situation was destined to drag on indefinitely.
"It's over, the blessing has failed!"
Another day passed, and as Liu Shinian was about to use the Blessing of Fire to harass the opponent as usual, he discovered that his blessing had been completely used up.
I don't have many left either.
The aggressive blessing on Li Xingkong is also in grave danger.
He had tried using magic, but the Yiying figure remained completely still, allowing the magic to pass right through his body.
Neither magic nor supernatural powers can be applied to the conceptual body of an immortal. No matter how destructive they seem, they basically leave nothing but smoke and no damage.
"Brother Xiao Li, we've been together for quite a while now, and you're a truly honest person..."
Liu Shinian bit his lip, as if he had made up his mind.
"You're making that sound like a deathbed message. You can't say that, can you? I'll just take you with me when we run away."
"Pah, what last words? I mean, can I trust you?"
Liu Shinian spat a few times, then asked.
"We're all on the same side now, if you don't believe me, who should you believe?"
Li Xingkong was speechless. What was this guy saying out of the blue?
"Alright, Brother Xiao Li, could you cover up our situation?"
"It's nothing."
Li Xingkong waved his hand, and the spatial cage transferred all external perception elsewhere. From the outside, it looked as if a piece was missing, but it was impossible to tell what was inside.
"Fine! Since that's the case, I won't pretend anymore!"
Liu Shinian let out a long breath.
"Actually, the concept I'm in charge of isn't integrity..."
She said something, then reached into the conceptual aggregate.
"It's me, it's you! I've come to reclaim the concept!"
Just as Li Xingkong was listening to what she said and was about to hear what she had to say next, he witnessed a scene that shocked him.
That aggregate of concepts, as if recognizing a master, was directly absorbed into Liu Shinian's body.
"Brother Xiao Li, to be honest, in my opinion, it's Lies."
"Frog Fun!"
Li Xingkong was stunned.
"Why didn't you do it sooner? I've been beaten up for nothing all day!"
Liu Shinian also seemed a bit dazed.
"I said, isn't there something wrong with your focus? I lied to you."
Li Xingkong looked completely unconcerned.
"Who cares about this or that? It's normal to have some secrets when you're out in the world. But with your skills, can't you just cosplay as the War Immortal?"
Zhan Xian is great! With one or two more strikes, we'll have a chance to turn the tide even before Qingjue arrives.
"You should have used this sooner! You think I'd learn it?"
Seeing Li Xingkong's expression, Liu Shinian felt much more relaxed.
Lies are not a good concept. In the past, many people, after learning about her background, would gradually distance themselves from her.
Because they couldn't determine how much of the person in front of them was genuine.
But Li Xingkong doesn't seem to care at all.
"What do you think? There's a price to pay, okay? While accepting the concept, I'll also be impacted by his remaining personality and memories. If I stay with it for too long, I'll have problems."
Liu Shinian rolled his eyes at Li Xingkong, as if to say, "Does he really think this operation will come without consequences?"
"Hiss..."
As expected, things weren't as simple as Li Xingkong. However, Li Xingkong suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Now that you're in charge of this concept, does that mean you can abandon it?"
"That's certainly possible, but once discarded, it's just a pure concept. How can we use it against an enemy then? Don't forget there's someone watching outside! I wouldn't have resorted to this tactic if it weren't to contend with him!"
Liu Shinian had no idea what Li Xingkong was up to. If they abandoned this concept, what would they have left to fight with?
"Great! Listen to me, just start doing it, forget about the concepts, and leave the rest to me!"
It would be very difficult for outsiders to refine the will within this concept, but if the owner of this will were to reclaim it, it would be a piece of cake.
In the eyes of this conceptual aggregate, Liu Shinian is undoubtedly its master, and it would be no problem for him to take back its will.
"Alright, I'll see what kind of crazy tricks you have up your sleeve."
With a wave of her hand, Liu Shinian extracted all the will from the aggregate of concepts, gathered them into a ball, and then severed her control over the concepts.
As for that wisp of will, he flicked his hand and casually tossed it outside the spatial cage.
At this moment, this concept has truly become an ownerless entity.
