351: Okay, okay! Is this how you play?
The Divine Ability, Eternal Illusion Body, has reached Major Achievement, and each Clone created by Li Qi possesses half of his main body's strength.
Although Li Qi's current Realm is only at the Early Stage of the Samsara Realm, his strength is in no way weaker than that of someone at the Late Stage of the Samsara Realm, so his two Clones also possess strength comparable to the Middle Stage of the Samsara Realm.
And this was truly difficult for Azure Nightmare.
What was originally a fair duel between two Great Emperors suddenly took a drastic turn... from a one-on-one fight to a group brawl!
Three Great Emperors ganging up on one!
Three golden light swords slashed towards Azure Nightmare.
Azure Nightmare was a mix of shock and fury, constantly dodging: "Good, good, good! So this is how you want to play, huh?"
The golden light swords were too dangerous; just dealing with one earlier was already a close call... and now there were two more!
Three golden light swords simultaneously attacked three of Azure Nightmare's vital points, scaring him witless!
Azure Nightmare's face was ashen; he had originally come from afar, vowing to slay Li Qi, but he never expected such a thing to happen.
Just now, Azure Nightmare was momentarily caught off guard, and one of the Li Qis behind him swept his sword horizontally, slicing off a piece of the armor on his head, nearly taking his skull with it.
"How can this child be so troublesome?!"
As the offense and defense exchanged, even if Azure Nightmare's attacks hit Li Qi, Li Qi simply endured them with his Physical Body, completely ignoring the minor injuries inflicted.
His Physical Body was already incredibly strong, and his Exorcising Demon Purifying World Records flowed throughout his entire body, acting like a protective Cultivation Technique, greatly weakening Azure Nightmare's attacks.
As a result, Azure Nightmare was astonished to discover that Li Qi was practically an existence that couldn't be killed no matter how hard he tried; no matter what kind of attack he landed on the other party, the effect was extremely weak.
The current situation was already very unfavorable.
The Li Qi opposite him couldn't be killed, and he couldn't defeat him. Even if he fought with no regard for his life, trading injuries with the other party... he would still be at a disadvantage.
He definitely couldn't outlast him.
He would definitely be the first to fall.
It seems... he could only run away...
At this moment, Azure Nightmare felt a mix of frustration and shame. He had come with the determination to kill, but now he had to abandon his initial resolve and flee.
Azure Nightmare had fought countless battles in his life, and there weren't many instances where he had to flee from a fight. If an opponent's strength was too great and he knew he couldn't win, Azure Nightmare would not confront them; he wouldn't choose to engage.
And the targets he chose to engage were always those he was confident he could eliminate.
Situations like the current one, where he misjudged the opponent's strength and ended up in a very awkward and dangerous predicament, were truly rare.
A Clone on the side's eyes lit up. Seizing an opening from Azure Nightmare, he slashed his sword into his ribs.
The Dragon Scale Armor broke open!
Beneath the armor, flesh was torn, and blood spurted!
Intense pain struck, and Azure Nightmare gritted his teeth, trembling, almost crying out.
The injuries on his body were accumulating and worsening, but this wasn't the worst part; the worst part was... another inexplicable force had invaded Azure Nightmare's body through his wound.
The operation speed of the Demon Soul Sacred Heart Art became even slower!
"I can't keep fighting..."
Azure Nightmare took a deep breath. He forcefully urged his Cultivation Technique, and a burst of energy exploded from his body, transforming into a shockwave that pushed all three Li Qis surrounding him away, then he shouted loudly.
"This is where it ends for now!"
"Next time we meet, there will be a generous reward!"
With that, Azure Nightmare's body surprisingly shattered into pieces, turning into dust and vanishing on the spot.
Shadowless Demon!
This was an escape Divine Ability that Azure Nightmare had mastered. His body disappeared on the spot, directly emerging from a blood pool in a dimly lit underground palace.
This was an escape Divine Ability mastered by most Saint Demon Remnant Clan members, allowing them to instantly reach a blood pool they had set up. Previously, Netherworld had also used this Divine Ability to block Li Qi, who was destroying the blood pool.
However, last time, Netherworld was firmly trapped within Li Qi's body and couldn't escape, but this Azure Nightmare had managed to flee.
Azure Nightmare slowly climbed out of the Reincarnation Blood Pool, his face filled with resentment.
"I remember you. I won't let you off!"
Azure Nightmare's face was ashen, and he gnashed his teeth.
He truly had no choice but to run just now. Too much of the strange power had already invaded his body, and this special power was like poison; the Demon Soul Saint Heart Art's operation speed had slowed to its limit.
If he continued to delay, Azure Nightmare might even suffer a backlash from his Cultivation Technique... even his Realm might fall!
This was no laughing matter!
Azure Nightmare dared not delay and immediately sat down by the blood pool, continuously absorbing the power from the blood pool to recover from his injuries.
The Reincarnation Blood Pool not only contained the blood of the Saint Demon Remnant Clan but also stored a considerable amount of power, so this blood pool could be used both to transform Demon Servants... and to heal the injuries of the Saint Demon Remnant Clan.
But something that terrified Azure Nightmare happened again. He had already begun to try and expel the strange power from his body, but this power was like a maggot attached to the bone, extremely difficult to remove.
Azure Nightmare exerted his full effort, and soon, after a day had passed... only a tiny bit of the strange power in his body had been expelled!
At this rate, it would take at least two or three months to completely dispel this strange power.
Azure Nightmare was fuming. This time, not only did he fail to take down his opponent, but he also got himself into a troublesome situation that would prevent him from having peace for several months.
Such a troublesome and rogue opponent was something Azure Nightmare had never encountered in his life!!!
Azure Nightmare found it difficult to control himself for a moment. Unable to suppress his injuries, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground...
...
On Li Qi's side, his expression was much more relaxed.
Although he had suffered some injuries during his fight with Azure Nightmare just now, they were minor and would quickly heal, and they did not affect Li Qi's combat power.
He looked at the two Clones beside him and dispatched them to continue harvesting Potential Points in various places. The two Clones quickly departed.
Li Qi had considered continuing to pursue and eliminate Azure Nightmare, but he had just performed another divination and found that he could no longer track the other party's whereabouts.
Something was preventing him from investigating Azure Nightmare's whereabouts!!!
According to the divination... Li Qi vaguely saw a giant net that covered the sky!
And all the Saint Demon Remnant Clan members were under the protection of this sky-covering giant net, making it difficult for Li Qi to see clearly.
Li Qi recalled the form of that giant net, and a feeling of dread flashed in his heart: "What is this thing? It wasn't here just a few days ago..."
Next, Li Qi performed several more divinations, and the results were all the same. Whenever he tried to divine matters related to the Saint Demon Remnant Clan, that terrifying giant net would appear, obstructing Li Qi's investigation.
However, Li Qi had no way of knowing what this giant net itself was, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
A hint of unease subtly flashed in Li Qi's heart. He felt that something beyond his comprehension had already occurred.
After pondering for a moment, Li Qi sighed helplessly and could only turn and leave...
