Chapter 371: A Narrow Escape


Thud——

Da Yi, who was using the Dark Sun Light as a springboard to move continually, suddenly stopped, feeling dizzy after being hit mid-air.

He furrowed his brows and raised his right hand, waving it towards the air in front of him.

Inexplicably, he encountered something akin to a wall of air, invisible and devoid of any detectable aura, yet tangible enough to block his path.

"A strange ability."

Besides the possibility of gaining Annihilation Law from the First Emperor, Da Yi was also filled with curiosity about Wu Liang's Law Abilities.

Everything that had happened just now was extremely peculiar, unforeseen changes that defied normal phenomena.

He couldn't comprehend how Wu Liang managed to achieve those feats.

Despite how strange it was, Da Yi didn't pay any attention to Wu Liang's Law Ability.

After all, in terms of the strength of abilities, Wu Liang seemed completely incapable of causing any effective harm to him, just fleeing continuously.

Escaping doesn't solve any problems!

"Stop running, the First Emperor can't save you!" Da Yi laughed arrogantly at Wu Liang.

He raised his hand and smashed the air wall, which only blocked him for a few seconds, and Wu Liang's figure was still within his sight.

Even among Venerables, there are differences!

As soon as he finished speaking, Da Yi's figure appeared next to Wu Liang again, seemingly able to seize the youngster with a mere reach, not detecting any means for the opponent to escape.

"Heh, how can you be sure that the person here is really me?" Wu Liang suddenly turned around and glanced at Da Yi, a mocking smile stretched across his lips.

As soon as he finished speaking, his form began to blur, and in an instant, only the taunting voice continued to echo in the place.

Da Yi suddenly remembered that when the youngster was fleeing from Zeus, he seemed to have split into two identical clones.

Could it be that the person he had been chasing for so long was actually a fake body!?

Unbelieving, Da Yi still reached toward the place where the fake body disappeared, but as expected, he caught nothing but air.

Looking at his empty skeletal fingers, fury burned in Da Yi's eyes.

"Where did the youngster use the clone to replace his disappearance? During the process of the Space Crevice transfer? So is he still at Taishan Peak!?"

Da Yi's mind furiously deduced the ways in which Wu Liang confused him, ultimately concluding that the opponent used the clone just when he stepped into the Space Crevice, at that moment when he couldn't immediately detect his exact location.

It was also at this time that the Dark Sun Power left by Da Yi as he climbed Mount Tai began to shine.

In a flash, he captured a trace of faint aura, moving very slowly toward the base of Mount Tai, completely unnoticed by the Yue Du and Poseidon overhead.

Da Yi's skeleton revealed a wicked smile.

"Thinking of deceiving me... too naive... under the Dark Sun, nothing is concealed!"

With that, Da Yi disappeared from the spot.

Using the remaining bit left on Taishan Peak to transfer himself back, attempting to seize Wu Liang who was hidden so intricately.

Unbeknownst to him, three seconds after Da Yi left, a fragile shadow fell from the clouds, crashing quickly to the ground.

Boom——

The ground was struck out into a deep crater.

A fair-faced boy climbed out slowly from within, unable to hide the ecstatic smile on his pale face.

"Hahaha! I certainly can deceive you... No matter how dazzling the Dark Sun is, there are always places it can't illuminate!" Wu Liang laughed heartily.

This was merely a trap within another trap he set!

Realizing that Da Yi was still relentlessly clinging to him, Wu Liang used the Law of Reality to scatter his aura into weakly floating Residual Thoughts above the clouds.

Then all he needed was to create a fake body resembling himself to dissipate on the spot.

As for the Taishan Peak... That was the Puppet Ghost's transformation!

Upon first seeing Da Yi, Wu Liang immediately determined this guy was definitely a Fierce Ghost extremely confident in himself, arrogant, prejudiced against others.

Such a guy would blindly believe his own judgment to the point of completely disregarding other issues.

When it realized it was deceived by the "clone," it would certainly associate with the problem of stepping into the Space Crevice just now, at that time purposely exposing an indistinct aura from the Puppet Ghost was enough.

Wu Liang believed that Da Yi, praised by the First Emperor for his investigative abilities, would surely discover the Puppet Ghost's aura.

When Yue Du and Poseidon hadn't noticed, Da Yi realizing it was only him aware of the hidden aura, would undoubtedly believe this was Wu Liang's true form.

This was a kind of mental inertia.

Or you could say the arrogance of the strong.

After deceiving Da Yi, Wu Liang lay on the ground gasping for breath, the Dark Sun Laws greatly eroded his body and even his soul.

After all, he had just used the Law of Reality to thoroughly scatter his aura.

In a sense, Wu Liang now was indeed merely a Residual Thought with thinking abilities.

The rageful impact when Da Yi left was enough to exorcise an ordinary Fierce Ghost, Wu Liang as a Residual Thought was already remarkably lucky to survive.

"Huff... hurts just a bit... but not too much." Wu Liang caught his breath and stood up, walking toward Apang Palace on foot.
