After being repeatedly blasted apart by Lu Yunxi, the middle-aged man finally began to understand the trick.
It seemed that every time, at the very last moment, the middle-aged man's figure would sway slightly.
There must be something strange about this.
Qin Feng continued to observe several more times, and just like before, the middle-aged man's figure would sway slightly at the last moment each time.
Qin Feng frowned, his expression shifting between light and dark. Suddenly, a bold guess popped into his mind.
The middle-aged man did not use any life-saving abilities, but instead used a substitute puppet!
The so-called scapegoat puppet is nothing more than a tool that has been created.
In critical moments, it will die in place of its master!
However, such substitute puppets only exist in legends, and the method of making them has long been lost.
The middle-aged man is very likely the reincarnation of the Wind Demon God, so it is not surprising that he has such a substitute puppet.
It's just unknown how many scapegoat puppets the middle-aged man actually has.
However, no matter how large the quantity, it will eventually run out.
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, then shouted at Lu Yunxi, "He must have used a substitute puppet!"
"I suspect he doesn't have many!"
"Keep killing, kill them all!"
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Lu Yunxi stopped for a moment, turned around and looked at Qin Feng, saying with a surprised expression, "You actually saw through his life-saving method?"
"That's impressive!"
The middle-aged man's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was right; he had indeed used a substitute puppet!
And the number isn't that many!
Including those that Lu Yunxi just destroyed, it's less than fifty!
Now only twenty-three remain!
In other words, if Lu Yunxi kills him twenty-three more times, he will surely die!
Qin Feng glanced at the middle-aged man and, seeing the man's gloomy expression, knew he had guessed correctly.
Then, he looked at Lu Yunxi and urged, "Don't just stand there, keep killing!"
Just as Lu Yunxi was about to make a move, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke up. "Fellow Daoist, don't rush into action. I want to make a deal with you!"
Lu Yunxi paused for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man with a half-smile and asked, "You wouldn't be trying to trade a scapegoat puppet to me, would you?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "Exactly!"
"If you let me go, I can give you ten substitute puppets!"
Lu Yunxi looked at the middle-aged man with a flicker in her eyes and asked, "Aren't you worried that I'll go back on my word after accepting the scapegoat?"
“Of course I’m worried!” the middle-aged man said, frowning. “Therefore, I need you to swear an oath to the Great Dao!”
"A vow to the Great Dao?" Lu Yunxi, Qin Feng, and Nihuang were all taken aback.
They had never heard of the oath of the Great Dao.
Is this thing something like a vow to Heaven?
But the oaths of the Heavenly Dao in the Tomb of the Gods are completely ineffective. Could the oaths of the Great Dao be effective?
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yunxi and explained, "The Great Dao is different from the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is limited to one world, and it exists in almost every world."
"And the Great Way is not only unique, but it is also omnipresent!"
Even within this tomb of the gods, the Great Dao still exists!
Qin Feng and the other two were dumbfounded. There was a Great Dao above the Heavenly Dao. Could it be that there was a Great Dao Realm above the Heavenly Dao Realm?
It seems that very few people can even cultivate to the Heavenly Dao Realm, let alone the Great Dao Realm.
The middle-aged man glanced at Lu Yunxi, then at Qin Feng. “If you two are willing to swear an oath of allegiance, I will grant each of you ten substitute puppets!”
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly. Ten substitute puppets were equivalent to ten extra lives.
He was definitely tempted!
However, he did not understand this great oath, so he would not make a decision easily.
Lu Yunxi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qin Feng and asked, "What do you think?"
Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Are the effects of the Great Dao Oath and the Heavenly Dao Oath the same?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "Essentially the same, except that if the oath is broken, the punishment from the Great Dao will be far more terrifying!"
"Unless you can cultivate to the Great Dao Realm, you have absolutely no chance of survival!"
"The oath of Heaven is different. As long as you have a few Primordial Chaos Treasures in hand, there is still a chance to survive!"
Qin Feng was speechless. As expected, above the Heavenly Dao Realm, there was also the Great Dao Realm.
It seems that the Great Dao Realm is the limit for cultivators, right?
However, among all the cultivators in the myriad realms, perhaps none have even reached the Heavenly Dao Realm, let alone the Great Dao Realm.
The Heavenly Dao Realm and the Great Dao Realm were both very far away from him. He shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Then, Qin Feng looked at the middle-aged man and smiled. "I don't quite trust you, so I'll have to trouble you to make a Great Dao oath for us to see!"
"Just say it like that: everything you just told us about the oath of the Great Dao is true!"
"Is this putting you in a difficult position?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before speaking directly. "By the Great Dao above, everything I, Lin Xuan, just said to you two fellow Daoists is true. May the Great Dao bear witness!"
No sooner had the middle-aged man finished speaking than a pair of enormous eyes suddenly appeared in the sky.
These enormous eyes were devoid of any emotion, calm and undisturbed.
Qin Feng, Lu Yunxi, Nihuang, and the other two sides engaged in fierce combat all stopped and looked up at the giant eyes.
With just one glance, everyone instantly felt an endless chill and involuntarily shivered.
At the same time, everyone felt their primordial spirit trembling, with a slight stinging sensation.
"Sure! But there can't be a next time!"
A thunderous sound echoed in the sky, and then the giant eyes vanished!
The middle-aged man relaxed; troubling the Daoist with such a trivial matter was extremely risky for him.
Fortunately, the Great Dao did not take offense; otherwise, he might have been subjected to cruel punishment or even directly eliminated.
The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his brow, then looked at Qin Feng and Lu Yunxi, and smiled. "Fellow Daoists, now you should believe me, right?"
Qin Feng and Lu Yunxi exchanged a glance, then Qin Feng looked at the middle-aged man with a smile.
"I believe it!"
"However, I'll need you to swear an oath on the Great Dao, promising never to be my enemy again and never to harm anyone around me!"
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Lu Yunxi rolled her eyes and looked at the middle-aged man, saying, "You can't cause me any trouble either!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the middle-aged man once again made a solemn vow.
The commotion this time was the same as before, but this time, Da Dao only said "accurate".
"Is this alright now?" the middle-aged man asked, looking at Qin Feng and Lu Yunxi.
Qin Feng and Lu Yunxi both nodded, and then very readily followed the middle-aged man's example and made a solemn vow.
It was the same commotion as when the middle-aged man made his vow, and he only uttered the word "yes".
As soon as the oath took effect, the middle-aged man immediately took out two storage rings and tossed them to Qin Feng and Lu Yunxi respectively.
"Check this out first, and then I'll teach you how to use the substitute puppet!"
