Chapter 153 Turning defeat into victory
"Demon Emperor, I am just a phantom. I am running out of energy right now. Can I take a rest for a while?"
"Humph, you were running away very fast just now, how come you have no spiritual power now?"
"That's because I can't reach an agreement with you. Besides, I ask to inspect the goods in advance, which is understandable, right? How about this, Demon Emperor, you set up a barrier, and I'll check it out inside the barrier, that should be fine."
Qing Ming thought about it for a while and felt that this method was feasible. Otherwise, if it was delayed for a long time, Pei Cangli would not have recovered yet.
Just let the clone take a look first. With his barrier in place, it won’t be so easy for him to run away.
So Qingming set up a barrier to surround the phantom of his clone, then took out the Azure Bamboo and threw it to him for inspection.
As soon as he got the Azure Bamboo, the phantom clone immediately performed a technique and ran out of the barrier.
While running, he proudly reminded, "Go back early and choose a better cemetery for Pei Cangli. It should still be in time."
Qing Ming said angrily, "You are looking for death. How dare you play tricks on me?"
Soon Xuan Shang and Cang Cang received news from Qing Ming, and learned that the shadow had run away with Tian Qing Zhu, and he also said bluntly that Pei Cangli would not live long.
Several people quickly ran to Pei Cangli and found that her cultivation level, which had just improved, was rapidly declining and soon dropped to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Moreover, the person's vitality is visibly draining away. At this rate, he may not survive more than a month.
Xuan Shang anxiously sent ghost power to Pei Cangli, but it was useless. Cangcang also sent his spiritual power to her, but still couldn't stop the loss of vitality.
At this time, he received a message from Si Yunzhou, saying that there was nothing unusual in any direction, so it seemed that the formation was useless to him.
The people surrounding Pei Cangli all felt uncomfortable. Now that Pei Cangli had become like this and someone had run away, who could save her next?
Soon after, Si Yunzhou also came here and saw that Pei Cangli's life was slowly fading away, but as they had lived and died together, he did not feel any discomfort.
Si Yunzhou was just about to express his thoughts when he suddenly heard an explosion not far away. Several people immediately stood up to check.
Cang Cang took the opportunity to put Pei Cangli into the space and said, "I have hidden the master. Let's go and have a look together. Maybe we can catch that person."
So, under the leadership of Xuan Shang, the four of them quickly arrived at the place where the explosion occurred. After a burst of thick smoke, they saw a familiar figure standing in front of them.
Several people looked at Cang Cang in disbelief. Wasn’t Pei Cangli’s vitality slipping away and was he taken away by Cang Cang?
Then who is the person in front of me now?
Cang Cang confirmed once again that the master was indeed in the space, but the person in front of him had the same aura as Pei Cangli.
"Master, is it you?"
At this time, the person in front slowly turned around. It was the Pei Cangli with the sweet smile.
"It's me, Cang Cang. I've seriously injured someone. He's in the deep pit ahead."
"Cang Li, is that you?"
Looking at the three people in front of him, Pei Cangli deliberately joked, "It's me, three liars, long time no see."
After hearing these words, Si Yunzhou and the other two knew that the Pei Cangli in front of them was the real Pei Cangli before he practiced evil skills.
"Little White Flower, what on earth is going on? And how come your cultivation has dropped to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?"
"It's a long story, let's first take a look at the person behind the scenes."
Several people came to the deep pit together. A shadow had begun to dim, and only the hand holding the blue bamboo could be seen.
"It's a fake one, but you still can't forget it. It seems that this Tianqingzhu is really important to you."
"Fake? How is that possible? I've seen it, and it looks like this."
"Then just treat it as if it were real. Anyway, I've already warned you that I'm not like you, who is used to being mysterious."
"You dare to claim that an unknown evil skill is the practice of the ruthless way? You have been using a shadow to show yourself to others. Has anyone among us seen you before?"
After these words were spoken, the shadow lowered his head guiltily, as if he was really afraid of being recognized.
"Pei Cangli, I didn't expect you to be acting the whole time. How did you know? You were in the illusion at the time, but you were truly affected."
"Yes, I was indeed affected by the illusion, and even couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion for a while. But you were too impatient and actually asked me to practice the ruthless way."
"Given your situation at the time, it was not wrong to recommend the ruthless way to you. It was the most suitable solution for you at the time."
"It is indeed the most appropriate solution, but you don't really understand me. You think you can easily control me by seeing my weaknesses in the illusion, but unfortunately I am not you."
"What do you mean? And I watched you practice for three months. How did you escape my surveillance?"
"You think you have found my weaknesses and that I will throw them away for this. Unfortunately, I am not that kind of person. I will only face it bravely and use it as my weapon."
"As for you monitoring me for three months, I was really practicing, so there were no flaws."
"Impossible. If you really practiced, your vitality would just be slowly draining away now, not like this."
"Is that what you mean?"
Pei Cangli waved her hand, and another her in the space appeared in front of everyone. It was Pei Cangli who had lost her vitality before.
The shadow's voice was filled with disbelief, and he asked tremblingly, "How could it be? How could there be two of you?"
"You are allowed to have a clone, but I can't have one?"
"But you didn't have the cultivation base of the Void Refining Stage at that time, so it was impossible for you to create an identical clone like this. Such a clone would require at least the Tribulation Crossing Stage."
"My cultivation is not enough, but I have always had insufficient cultivation. I can make up for it with my strength. Besides, the clone puppet technique I practiced has already been perfected, so it does not affect me."
Pei Cangli took out the Universal Mirror and waved it at the phantom, saying, "Do you remember it? If it weren't for refining this clone puppet, I wouldn't have needed three months. In order to make her more like me, I even cut off half of my soul."
“Pei Cangli, I don’t think it’s unfair that I lost to you. You even dared to sever your own soul, and you endured the pain of the severance of your soul. If you can do what you have done, others will not be able to do it even if they are given another hundred years.”
"That's because you don't suffer enough in normal times. After all, being poisoned, having your spiritual roots dug out, and having your dantian destroyed, which one is not extremely painful? Which one is lighter than having your soul torn apart?"
"But I think you have already experienced the damage of soul severance. Your cultivation has dropped to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. You must feel very uncomfortable, right?"
"I'm sorry, but cultivation has never been the standard to measure me, strength is."
"arrogant."
After saying that, the clone threw something at Pei Cangli and wanted to turn around and run away, but was blocked by Xuan Shang.
The phantom of the clone who was about to escape was directly bound by Pei Cangli's fire move, and the flames of fire surrounded the phantom.
Ever since Pei Cangli woke up, Yan Yihuo has come to Pei Cangli's side. It happened that he had never used it before, so this time it played a huge role in splitting the soul and making a clone puppet.
"If you are not afraid of your soul being annihilated, why don't you try running outside?"
"Pei Cangli, you even subdued Yan Yihuo, but you kept it all this time and hid it as a backup plan. You are really amazing."
"So what? We're the same."
