504: Chapter 504 Wang Yao²

Wang Yao moved very quickly, and the Domain wasn't that large. Before long, the two arrived at the Xun position.

Before even getting close, Xiao Sheng murmured a few lines, then pointed his fingers like a sword to mark the spot, and a Formation Flag quickly flew out and embedded itself there.

"Coiling Dragon Formation, rise!"

"Woo—!"

A sharp cry rang out as a small hornless snake soared into the air, then transformed, growing two horns on its head.

As the two horns appeared, the sandstorm that had been raging wildly within the Domain seemed to fall silent, its power instantly diminishing significantly.

Although the Formation only lasted a few breaths before being shredded by the violent sand waves, the effect had already been achieved. Wang Yao quickly changed direction and headed northeast again.

"Not bad, Old Xiao!"

"A casual point and it's a fourth-grade Formation. I didn't expect you to have such skill."

Hearing Wang Yao's praise, Xiao Sheng felt a bit embarrassed.

"What? It's because that old thing has been blocking me for years, so I specifically asked Third Senior Brother to make it for me. I don't have that kind of ability."

"This thing isn't very useful; it's only for breaking specific Formations. The advantage is that it has low consumption and low Realm requirements."

"These are just leftovers from before. I thought I'd never use them again."

"But this old fellow is really regressing. It's obvious he took too many hits from the celestial master sword when he was blocking me before. Now that he's older, his reaction speed is failing."

"This Domain isn't nearly as sharp as it used to be. Of course, our invincible cooperation is also a key factor."

Two rock pillars formed from sand rose ahead and quickly collapsed in a cross. The massive impact and splashing sand instantly sent the two flying.

If Wang Yao hadn't adjusted his direction in mid-air in time, he would have almost been caught by Luo Jie's claw.

Luckily, he dodged it easily, though Wang Yao lost a leg and a foot. Before Wang Yao even hit the ground, his leg and foot had already grown back.

"Pah, pah! Old thing, why are you getting impatient!"

Xiao Sheng, on Wang Yao's back, was also startled by what had just happened. After spitting out the sand in his mouth, he turned around and cursed at the giant scorpion.

That bloody scene just now almost made Xiao Sheng think he was finished.

If Wang Yao hadn't paid the price of his own injury, Xiao Sheng would have had to change his name to Xiao You by now.

"Old Wang, sorry... I really didn't expect him to have a follow-up move. He really has made some progress..."

Xiao Sheng could hardly speak now. If he weren't such a burden and hadn't trusted his experience too much, Wang Yao wouldn't have been injured.

However, Wang Yao didn't think much of it.

It was just losing a few insignificant limbs; it wasn't a big deal, so there was naturally no need to blame Xiao Sheng.

After all, Xiao Sheng's constant provocations were also buying him opportunities.

But this scene made Luo Jie's eyelids twitch—though his eyes were currently insectoid and couldn't twitch.

Is this guy even human?

He lost a quarter of his dao body, and not only is he uninjured, but he grew it back in a single breath?

Did I really just snip off his leg, or was I just giving him a toenail trim?

"You can be even bolder. The limits of the Profound Mother Returning to Truth Physique are more than this. Collect as much data as possible before the Law Enforcement Team arrives."

A low voice entered Luo Jie's Sea of Consciousness, prompting him to muster his strength and give chase again, though he still consciously maintained his distance.

"We're here!"

Xiao Sheng's face was full of joy. Although there had been a small hiccup, the Gen position was close at hand. As long as they planted the Formation Flag, the two could escape.

"Old thing, see you next time!"

Xiao Sheng threw the Formation Flag. As it landed, the world of swirling sand vanished in an instant, like a bursting soap bubble.

But the smile soon froze on Xiao Sheng's face because after the world of yellow sand dissipated, it revealed a world shrouded by a purple-black canopy.

At this moment, Xiao Sheng, who knew Luo Jie well, immediately realized what this was, even though he had never seen this purple-black world before.

The old monster's dao wound has healed!

This world of yellow sand wasn't a Domain at all; it was simply a Formation that the Domain was modeled after!

He had been using the Formation to masquerade as a Domain, while actually using his real Domain to cover everything, just waiting for us to walk into the trap. Once we broke the Formation ourselves and let down our guard, he would easily take us down with poison.

That's it. I should have realized sooner. This guy's Domain couldn't possibly be so weak, even with Wang Yao's assistance.

The moment Xiao Sheng saw that purple-black Domain, he understood everything, but it was already too late.

As a sense of suffocation washed over him, Xiao Sheng quickly fainted, the words to warn Wang Yao to run still stuck in his throat.

Wang Yao also saw this. He had originally watched the yellow sand break, thinking they could escape without the help of the Law Enforcement Team.

But seeing the even more dangerous world outside, Wang Yao also froze. He didn't know if there was something else to do or somewhere else to go, so he could only ask Xiao Sheng on his back.

"Old Xiao, what's going on?"

After waiting a moment with no response, Wang Yao subconsciously looked back, only to see Xiao Sheng with his eyes tightly closed, his face pale, and his aura extremely weak.

"Old Xiao... Xiao Sheng!"

"What's wrong? Wake up!"

"Hehehe, he's just tired. He'll be fine after a nap." Luo Jie had returned to his human form by now and was following unhurriedly.

Leaning on his cane with both hands, he stopped not far from the two and quietly watched Wang Yao.

"Strange to say, my poison is very precisely controlled. Even someone at Core Formation Perfection would be incapacitated by it the moment they let their guard down."

"But why are you fine?"

"Is it some special Physique, or do you have some secret technique or Magic Treasure protecting you?"

"Could you satisfy this old man's curiosity?"

Wang Yao didn't answer. He simply set Xiao Sheng down gently, stuffed a Medicinal Pill into his mouth, and then lunged toward Luo Jie with a burst of power from his legs.

"Interesting. Your first thought was actually to attack?"

Luo Jie was about to raise his hand to block when, to his surprise, the rapidly approaching Wang Yao actually twisted himself into a pretzel.

Yes, quite literally.

While advancing at high speed, Wang Yao suddenly spun in mid-air, twisting his body several times.

Just as Wang Yao was about to reach Luo Jie, he exerted a sudden force and violently snapped himself in two. His upper and lower halves separated completely, rolling past Luo Jie on either side due to momentum.

Luo Jie was a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator after all. Even though he was a somewhat mediocre Loose Cultivator, he had lived for so long that it was impossible for him to be completely inexperienced.

Although Wang Yao's speed was extremely fast, even reaching the level of a Nascent Soul, with his veteran experience and the assistance of his Domain, that speed was meaningless.

That's what he had thought, but who could withstand someone running up to them and dismembering themselves?

Despite his great age, he had never seen such a freak. He was so shocked that it took him a full two seconds to react.

However, when he turned around to look, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.

The upper and lower halves of Wang Yao that had been flung away by momentum were actually running away!

Yes, also quite literally.

After being flung and bouncing twice on the ground, Wang Yao's upper body used its hands to push off and perform a backflip.

During the flip, a new lower body grew out, and he immediately turned and bolted away.

The lower body that had flown off also bounced a few times before performing a kip-up. An upper body quickly grew out, and it ran off in another direction.

Even during the restoration process, both halves didn't forget to repair their dharma robes as well.

If Luo Jie hadn't seen the splitting process with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to tell which was which.

"Good heavens, is this thing really human?"

Luo Jie gasped, momentarily unable to tell who was the monster.

But he forced himself to calm down and first chased after the direction the lower body had run.

After all, the lower body had to perform a kip-up to get up, so its speed lagged behind the upper body for a moment.
