"Bang! Bang!"
Tremendous explosions erupted from the body of the creature beyond the wall, vast Energy Swords surged like a galloping army, thundering from all directions, crazily shooting towards the outer wall creature like a tidal wave!
At this moment, the entire region trembled violently, ripples in space continually expanding from the blast site. The speed of these ripples was incredibly swift, reaching the people in mere breaths and though they did not harm them, they felt extremely uncomfortable!
The space ripples affected almost all nearby areas, countless soil started to churn, and even pebbles in some places were directly destroyed by the space ripples!
The bombardment of the Energy Sword lasted for nearly ten minutes before slowing to a halt, and by this time, the screams of the outer wall creature were almost inaudible. Unless Ye Tianfan carefully sensed, he couldn't even detect the creature's life existence anymore!
Taichu Zhenren saw the dust swirling here and formed a Spell with his hand, releasing a gust of wind to blow the heavy dust away into the distance.
As the dust was blown away, the appearance of the outer wall creature was revealed. Upon seeing its miserable state, everyone winced, for the creature was so horribly damaged that there was hardly any intact part on it!
But just as everyone thought Taichu Zhenren had won, suddenly they saw the outer wall creature in front of them begin to slowly turn to powder. Although everyone felt they had won, there was still a sense that the creature hadn't died. This feeling was very eerie, yet they didn't know why!
Suddenly, everyone heard the flapping of wings, and this sound came from above, prompting everyone to quickly look upward.
Then, they saw a figure standing ghost-like in the sky, with black-purple wings slowly flapping behind him, casting a teasing glance at them, as if saying, what were you all doing just now? Who were you fighting? I've been here all along!
It seemed as though they could see a smile on the outer wall creature's face—a deep sneer, though there was no actual change in its expression.
Next, they saw a black-purple glow emerging from the creature's mouth. Although they didn't know what this black-purple light was, they were certain it wasn't something good, so they looked at Taichu Zhenren with concern, unsure if he could evade it.
However, as everyone worried, they saw the same black-purple glow also start to appear on Taichu Zhenren's body's surface!
This change shocked everyone—what was happening? Did the outer wall creature do something just now that they all missed?
Yet, none of them saw the creature make a move, nor noticed anything unusual, so how did Taichu Zhenren get tricked?
Just as everyone thought Taichu Zhenren was doomed, suddenly Ye Tianfan saw a smile at the corner of Taichu Zhenren's mouth!
No, at this moment Ye Tianfan quickly started to rethink; earlier he, like the others, thought Taichu Zhenren was tricked, but now Taichu Zhenren's smile proved otherwise, despite his appearance undergoing a major change and his whole body shimmering with black-purple light like a mighty Demon King.
But Ye Tianfan could tell from Taichu Zhenren's smile that he definitely wasn't tricked!
Moreover, at that moment, the outer wall creature seemed bewildered too. It couldn't understand why its move failed, clearly its doppelganger had already planted a seed on Taichu Zhenren!
Just then, Taichu Zhenren laughed and said directly to the creature, "You think your plan just succeeded? Actually not. I don't believe a being stronger than me can be dealt with so easily!"
Upon hearing Taichu Zhenren's words, everyone felt a bit embarrassed because earlier they really thought Taichu Zhenren had dealt with the outer wall creature!
"Actually not," Taichu Zhenren continued, "Even though I didn't initially notice that was your doppelganger, I clearly felt your power earlier was quite unnatural. Hence, I decided to see through your game, suspecting you'd attack sneakily. So I stayed vigilant all around but within my vigilance of the surroundings, I focused on your doppelganger, clearly sensing it was off!"
"Although I don't know exactly what's off, I sensed the special aura on your doppelganger, which kept infiltrating my body. So I decided to see through your trick by absorbing this aura to see what mischief you were up to!" Taichu Zhenren explained like he was clarifying to the creature and also to everyone.
After Taichu Zhenren said those words, everyone looked at him worriedly, knowing it was the enemy's trap yet still stepping in, which made them very anxious!
Next, Taichu Zhenren's actions dazzled everyone, as they saw him clapping his body, then grab his collar and instantly pull forward.
Then everyone saw Taichu Zhenren drag another version of himself out, shining with black-purple light!
"You have a doppelganger, it's like others don't!" After pulling out his doppelganger, Taichu Zhenren disdainfully said, "I put the absorbed special aura into my doppelganger, so my main body is absolutely fine!"
After Taichu Zhenren finished speaking, he tossed his doppelganger to the ground, and then everyone saw countless spectral vines emerging from it, instantly devouring Taichu Zhenren's doppelganger!
"So this is the secret of your trick! Seems my caution was indeed correct!" Taichu Zhenren said, a bit ruefully, watching his doppelganger being devoured so easily!
Seeing this scene, everyone shivered, as witnessing countless tentacles emerging from a person's body invariably brought on a sense of terror!
