"What a good trick." Huo Qubing, dressed in robes, said in a deep voice, "It seems that I have underestimated you..."
"Surrender your hands, and I will spare your life." Huo Qubing, in armor, waved his spear, and the flames burning in Chang'an City turned into fire dragons and rushed in front of him, condensing into a hot fireball with a radius of tens of meters at the tip of the spear.
Huo Qubing in robe did not answer. He stomped his foot on the ground, and the thick city wall collapsed. Countless stones hovered beside him, like a huge stone formation suspended in the air.
"A fake is a fake. No matter what means you use, you can never replace me." Huo Qubing, dressed in robe, clenched the spear in his hand, and the blood-stained hem of his clothes moved without wind!
Song——!!
The rocks beside the robed Huo Qubing suddenly exploded, and a loud bird's cry flew in front of him. He frowned and quickly dodged backwards. The sharp sword light brushed his nose and cut a smooth crack in the ground.
Gong Yangwan, who had a fierce and muscular face, held a long sword picked up from somewhere and looked coldly at Huo Qubing, who was dressed in a robe. The air around the sword was vibrating rapidly, as if another attack was brewing.
"It's already this time, and you're still saying that others are fakes... You guys are really hopeless." Gong Yangwan held the sword in one hand, and the other willow-branch arm coiled at her side like a long snake, with a strange eye fixed on the robed Huo Qubing.
"Gongyang Wan... where did your eye come from?" Seeing the image of Gongyang Wan, Huo Qubing in robe frowned.
"Is it your business?"
Gong Yangwan's body flashed, and he rushed out dozens of meters in an instant. The long sword in his hand caused a bird's cry, and he slashed at Huo Qubing in robe again!
Huo Qubing, dressed in robe, raised his hand, and Gong Yangwan instantly stopped on the ground. A piercing pain came from his head, as if his whole body was about to be split in two!
"Damn it! Why can you also control the [Heart-Returning Gu]?!" The long sword in Gong Yangwan's hand fell to the ground with a clang. She held her head with one hand and howled in pain.
But the next moment, the pain in her mind suddenly disappeared.
Huo Qubing in armor also raised his hand and said with a serious expression, "Be careful. He and I both have the power of [Control the Emperor] and can both activate [Returning Heart Gu]... You should retreat. I can deal with him."
Gong Yangwan's expression changed continuously, and she quickly retreated without any hesitation.
She was originally captured by Huo Qubing. If she hadn't been unable to bear the suffering of the people of Chang'an, and if she hadn't been restrained by the [Heart-Turning Gu], why would she have helped Huo Qubing? Now that the real or fake Huo Qubing could use the [Heart-Turning Gu] to kill her, why would she take the risk?
boom--!!
A violent roar came from the colorful smoke. Huo Qubing and Gong Yangwan turned their heads at the same time and saw that the colorful smoke that was approaching suddenly rolled violently...
…
Three minutes ago.
Two streams of light rushed into the smoke, and the brilliant and blurry light slowly flowed wherever it came into view, making people feel dizzy.
"After entering here, the concepts of direction and distance have become blurred." Lin Qiye's eyes swept around, looking at the endless colorful light, and recalled the scene when he was here not long ago.
He didn't notice it at the time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he finds that there are many strange things in this smoke. When he was enveloped by the smoke for the first time, the range was probably a mountain stream. With his speed, he should be able to touch the boundary soon, but no matter which direction he went, the smoke around him seemed endless.
Moreover, after he encountered Wuquan, the rope, which was clearly only more than 200 meters long, seemed to be several kilometers long in the smoke... Fortunately, his counterfeit took the initiative to walk out of the smoke, and with the help of the rope in Wuquan's hand, they also took the opportunity to escape from the smoke, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort to get out.
"Then how do we find the body of this smoke?" Wu Quan asked puzzledly.
Lin Qiye stopped and thought seriously. He glanced at the messy stones on the ground and his eyes lit up slightly as if he had thought of something.
"Wuquan, how far can your [Emperor of Domination] extend?"
"Now, it's about four kilometers."
Lin Qiye nodded slightly. He raised his foot and stomped hard on the ground beneath his feet. The terrifying force instantly shattered the ground within a radius of four kilometers. Dense gravel splashed up and a hemispherical deep pit appeared under the feet of the two.
"Use your [Emperor of Domination] to control these rubbles, so that they stick to the ground and move with us. Remember, they must stick to the ground."
"Why?" Wu Quan asked in confusion as he did as Lin Qiye said and controlled all the rubble to the greatest extent, like a giant circle surrounding their feet.
"In this smoke, both people's perception and the distance of objects will be affected... but the Forbidden Ruins will not." Lin Qiye said slowly, "Your [Emperor of Domination] can only extend a maximum of four kilometers. No matter how powerful this smoke is, it can't increase or decrease your limit. So your four-kilometer range is our best ruler."
Wuquan suddenly realized, "I see... Then what we need to do next is to use this four kilometers as a standard to measure the smoke and find its true form?"
"That's right." Lin Qiye nodded. He stretched out a hand and grabbed Wuquan's wrist to ensure that he was always in his sight. "Next, you follow me. If the stone within your ability touches something else, remind me immediately."
"Um."
Lin Qiye brought Wuquan and began to walk in the smoke.
According to Lin Qiye's visual observation of the smoke coverage when he was outside, it only occupied a dozen square kilometers at most. At their speed, they could complete a comprehensive exploration of the smoke within one minute.
The flowing colors kept passing by their eyes, as if they were walking among colorful clouds. After an unknown amount of time, Wuquan suddenly stopped.
"Found it!" he said, pointing in a direction.
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and immediately walked towards that direction with Wuquan. As they approached, they saw a giant shadow hundreds of meters high slowly emerging from the dazzling colorful smoke!
From the outside, it looked like a huge willow tree. Its thick trunk stood on the ground like a mountain, and countless wriggling black branches were like human hair, swaying slightly in the wind. Where the roots should have been, densely packed human legs supported the entire trunk, like a strange centipede, carrying it and moving little by little in a certain direction.
Lin Qiye and the other man stood at the foot of the huge willow tree, only slightly higher than the roots formed by human legs. They had to raise their heads to see the entire willow tree hidden in the smoke.
"This... what is this thing?" Looking at such a strange and huge willow tree, Wuquan felt his scalp tingling.
This was not the first time that Lin Qiye had seen a creature of the Ke type, so he was not too surprised. He narrowed his eyes slightly and saw that on the trunk of the willow tree, there were strange pus-filled lumps that looked like human figures.
