Hu Le knew in his heart that he was no match for that Daoist Yingxu. At the critical moment, he saw his figure flash and instantly disappear into the endless void, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
However, upon seeing this, Daoist Yingxu merely smiled coldly and said contemptuously, "Hmph, how could I let you escape from my grasp so easily!"
After saying that, he slowly raised his right hand, extended a finger and gently touched it. With a crisp "crack", the originally calm void suddenly shattered like a huge mirror.
As the void crumbled, everything around seemed to lose its support, turning into a chaotic void.
In the midst of this chaos, a figure suddenly appeared—it was Hu Le, who had previously fled.
Despite being in a perilous situation, he had no intention of giving up. He gritted his teeth and desperately flew forward.
At the same time, Daoist Yingxu leisurely stretched out his left hand and waved it towards the distance. The whisk that had been floating in mid-air seemed to have a spirit and quickly flew back into his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he grasped the whisk and gave it a gentle shake, and a dazzling celestial light suddenly burst forth from the whisk.
This beam of light streaked across the sky like lightning, shooting out at an astonishing speed. In an instant, it traversed the entire void, relentlessly pursuing Hu Le who was fleeing ahead.
Hu Le flew forward frantically, glancing back every now and then.
When he saw the unstoppable beam of light approaching him at lightning speed, he was terrified.
It was too late for him to change direction and dodge again. In the blink of an eye, the terrifying celestial light had completely engulfed him...
Hu Le tried his best to break free from the shackles of that celestial light, but all his efforts were in vain.
The celestial light was like an impenetrable net, quickly and tightly enveloping him.
In the blink of an eye, the celestial light carried him back rapidly.
With just one wash, Hu Le's originally indestructible protective aura shattered instantly, like fragile glass.
Before he could react, an even more violent wave swept over him.
This time, Hu Le's expression suddenly froze, as if he had been frozen in place by a spell.
Then, a shocking scene unfolded—Hu Le suddenly burst open with a "pop," like a bubble blown to its limit!
In an instant, light flashed and smoke filled the air. When the smoke cleared, Hu Le had vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed.
"Huh?" Upon seeing this, Daoist Yingxu, who had been watching the scene, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Only then did he realize that the Hu Le he had just painstakingly captured was merely an illusion created by a supernatural secret technique!
Even with his unfathomable cultivation and experience, he was surprised that he couldn't see through the illusion at first.
Master Yingxu frowned slightly and gently waved the whisk in his hand.
As he moved, the celestial light that filled the sky receded like a tide, quickly dissipating into nothingness.
Then, he closed his eyes slightly, and a powerful divine sense surged out from his body, spreading rapidly in all directions, carefully searching for Hu Le's true hiding place.
However, after searching, he did not detect any trace or presence of Hu Le.
It seems that Hu Le has already quietly disappeared.
The Daoist Yingxu's fingers moved nimbly, and strands of causal power flowed endlessly at his fingertips. His eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he were performing some kind of mysterious divination.
In the blink of an eye, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and a look of complete control appeared on his face. Clearly, he had successfully caught the clues left by Hu Le after his departure.
Prior to this, despite the profound Taoist skills of Yingxu, he had never been able to calculate Hu Le's whereabouts.
This was not because his skill was insufficient, but because Hu Le's true form was incredibly powerful, in no way inferior to him, this enlightened master.
Furthermore, since the two of them had never had any connection or causal relationship, no matter how hard Yingxu Daoist racked his brains, he could not deduce even the slightest bit of Hu Le's whereabouts.
However, the situation is completely different now. Since the two fought, they have developed a deep karmic entanglement.
With his keen perception and skillful application of this causal power, Daoist Yingxu was finally able to sense Hu Le's approximate location in the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, Master Yingxu let out a soft shout, his figure blurred, and he shot out like an arrow.
His steps appeared light and casual, but in reality, each step covered a distance of hundreds of millions of miles, as if space itself had lost its meaning before him.
And so, he pursued Hu Le relentlessly in the direction he had fled.
Before long, Daoist Yingxu had pursued them all the way to the depths of Hongmeng.
This place is a chaotic void, filled with endless primordial energy. If an ordinary person were to rashly enter, they would likely lose their way in an instant.
But Daoist Yingxu was like a fish in water. With a wave of his sleeve, he easily parted the thick primordial energy in front of him and continued to rush forward.
Persistence pays off. Before long, Master Yingxu spotted Hu Le fleeing in a disheveled state in the distance.
"Hmph, no matter how cunning you are, you won't escape my grasp today!"
The corners of Yingxu Daoist's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile.
Immediately afterwards, he flicked his whisk, and a loud "boom" resounded throughout the entire primordial world, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
With this earth-shattering roar, the sky above Hu Le's head suddenly changed color, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring.
The next moment, a terrifying bolt of divine lightning, as thick as a giant python and purple-gold in color, crashed down with earth-shattering force, heading straight for Hu Le's head.
Its fierce power seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart.
Faced with such a terrifying attack, Hu Le had no time to react.
In just a split second, his body was completely engulfed by the purple-gold divine lightning.
In an instant, lightning flashed and a deafening roar filled the air.
Hu Le didn't even have time to utter a scream before he was vaporized and vanished under the violent power of the thunder, as if he had never existed.
Only then did Master Yingxu realize that he had once again been chasing after nothing, and that this body was still an avatar that Hu Le had deliberately sold to him.
"What a cunning fellow! He's truly sly!"
Having been repeatedly fooled, the composed demeanor of the Daoist Yingxu vanished from his face, replaced by a cold glint, and his brows furrowed slightly...
