Chapter 1856 Manipulated at Will (4K)
The Heavenly Demon Gu Yan did not attack Chen Fei's clone, because whether the clone was damaged or not would not have any effect on Chen Fei.
However, if Chen Fei is injured, or even dies, then Chen Fei's clone will naturally disappear.
Ultimately, the life and death of a clone are entirely determined by the original body.
At this moment, Gu Yan, the Heavenly Demon, was filled with madness, and his attitude of mutual destruction was extremely resolute.
No matter how Gu Jun tried to defend, he couldn't withstand the combined attack of Chen Fei and his clone. Since defense would also lead to death, he might as well attack recklessly and perhaps find a way out.
Chen Fei looked up at the Heavenly Palm Hammer hurtling towards him. The Qian Yuan Sword in his hand remained unchanged. The Night Demon Warrior beside him did not swing his sword to block Gu Yan's attack, but attacked together with Chen Fei himself.
When Gu Yan saw Chen Fei's choice, his eyes grew increasingly gloomy, and the ruthlessness in his nature was completely unleashed.
Gu Qi, standing to the side, raised the Heavenly Hammer in his hand and smashed it forcefully onto the stage.
Gu Qi could clearly sense that the stage was about to collapse.
If we just persevere a little longer, just a little longer, things will surely take a turn for the better.
Gu Qi can't help Gu Yan now; the only thing she can do is smash this stage illusion.
From a distance, Qu Hongshan watched this scene. Instead of relentlessly attacking Chen Fei's back with his short dagger, he struck the stage beneath his feet.
Qu Hongshan realized that although Chen Fei's past self had a low cultivation level, the level of his mastery of the techniques was too high. Qu Hongshan simply did not have the ability to kill Chen Fei's past self in a short period of time.
If Qu Hongshan cannot kill Chen Fei's past self, he will be stuck in this illusionary realm.
In the end, there's no escaping it. Once Gu Yan and Gu Qi die, he'll be the last one to die.
Qu Hongshan was already regretting it. He shouldn't have thought of escaping alone just because he had a fourteenth-tier world-breaking bead.
If we had stayed and continued attacking the stage, perhaps it would be mostly destroyed by now, and we wouldn't be in such a passive position.
But in that situation just now, with the Boundary-Breaking Pearl in hand, one really couldn't help but want to escape.
"boom!"
Three explosions rang out almost simultaneously, two of which came from Qu Hongshan and Gu Qi.
Their attacks landed squarely on the stage, causing the entire illusion to shake violently and creating more and more gaps in the sky.
Another loud bang was heard as Chen Fei and the Night Demon Warrior's swords pierced through Gu Yan's body, while Gu Yan's Heavenly Hammer stopped an inch away from Chen Fei.
Gu Yan stared at Chen Fei with wide eyes, thinking that when Chen Fei struck him, his Heavenly Hammer could also smash Chen Fei's head.
In the end, however, Chen Fei and his clone's swords struck him first.
According to Gu Yan's calculations, this shouldn't have happened, but halfway through, the swords in Chen Fei's and his clone's hands suddenly accelerated in a way that Gu Yan couldn't understand.
Because it was unexpected and at such close range, Gu Yan had no time to make any other changes and could only watch helplessly as Chen Fei and his clone pierced through his body.
The violent sword energy instantly tore apart the immortal power within Gu Yan's body, the Yuan energy barrier on his body surface, and the rule matrix within his body. It failed to stop Chen Fei and his clone's sword energy in the slightest.
Without the Immortal Crystal, Gu Yan would have already died and perished. But even with the Immortal Crystal, the process of his internal power being completely torn apart made it impossible for Gu Yan to continue his attacks.
That's why Gu Yan's Heavenly Hammer stopped an inch away from Chen Fei's head.
It wasn't that Gu Yan wanted to stop, but when the Immortal Mystic Crystal reshaped the Immortal Power within his body, Gu Yan's arms were already exhausted. As for the inertia of swinging the Heavenly Hammer, it couldn't even break through the Yuan Power barrier on Chen Fei's body.
"clang!"
Chen Fei casually waved his left hand, knocking away the Heavenly Hammer in front of him. Then he pulled back the Qian Yuan Sword and slashed at Gu Yan again.
At the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm, it takes approximately five to six hundred Immortal Mystic Crystals to pull oneself back from the brink of death to the peak state.
But Gu Yan wasn't just on the verge of death; he was completely devoid of life force. And even after Gu Yan's life force was extinguished, the remaining violent sword energy was still raging within his body.
If Gu Yan wants to return to his peak condition, he must use the Immortal Mystic Crystal to counteract the raging sword energy within his body, and then pull himself back from the brink of death.
The amount of Immortal Mystic Crystals consumed in this process reached eight or nine hundred.
This explains why Gu Jun died so quickly. Chen Fei and the Night Demon Warrior's combined sword strike consumed eight or nine hundred of Gu Jun's Immortal Mystic Crystals.
Even though Gu Jun and his group were wealthy, each possessing over two thousand Immortal Mystic Crystals, they couldn't withstand such continuous attacks.
Gu Yan could not hold onto the Heavenly Hammer in his hand and could only let it be blown away. However, at this moment, the power in his body had been completely restored to normal, and he had once again reached the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm.
Although he has recovered to his peak condition, Gu Yan's mentality has undergone a complete transformation.
Seeing Gu Jun die in front of him, Gu Yan was filled with rage and only wanted to tear Chen Fei to pieces, no matter what method he had to use.
But after the direct confrontation just now, they couldn't even bring themselves to risk their own safety and choose to trade injuries for injuries.
Chen Fei and his clone were unharmed, while he was struck and directly consumed more than 800 Immortal Mystic Crystals.
This hardly resembles a duel between two early-stage Immortals of the same level; the difference between them is akin to that between a mid-stage Immortal and an early-stage Immortal.
Back then, Gu Yan and his companions escaped from the clutches of a mid-stage Immortal Realm expert, but that was because the expert couldn't hold them back. In the chase, they managed to escape.
But now, trapped inside this illusory stage, unable to escape and completely outmatched in a fight, even though Gu Yan still has more than a thousand Immortal Crystals in his hands, he sees no hope whatsoever.
However, being an Immortal Realm expert after all, Gu Yan did not sit idly by and wait for his death. He placed his hands together in a seal, using all the knowledge he had acquired in his life, and slammed his palms onto the ground of the stage.
There was no chance of offense, and as for defense, Gu Jun had already demonstrated with his life that there was no result.
Now, the only way to resist is to shatter this illusionary stage and combine the strength of Gu Qi and Naqu Hongshan.
"boom!"
Another series of explosions rang out almost simultaneously. This time, Gu Yan's attack struck the stage floor first, and then his body was pierced through by the swords of Chen Fei and the Night Demon Warrior.
Another eight hundred Immortal Crystals were consumed, leaving Gu Yan with only five hundred Immortal Crystals left. He wouldn't die from the next attack, but it wouldn't be enough to support him in returning to his peak condition.
At this moment, under the attack of Gu Yan and the other two, the stage illusion became shaky and even began to collapse on its own.
Following this trend, there's no need to attack; perhaps in a little while, the entire stage illusion will dissipate on its own.
Upon seeing this scene, Qu Hongshan, Tianmo Gu Yan, and Gu Qi all couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy in their eyes.
It's not a complete dead end; there's still a glimmer of hope.
"break!"
The demon Gu Yan roared fiercely, flipped his hands, and slammed them down onto the stage floor once again.
At the same time, Gu Qi sensed Gu Yan's condition and immediately activated the Three Lives Tribulation Diagram, resuming the mutual support of Gu Yan's injuries. He then slammed the Heavenly Hammer in his hand into the ground.
Having cultivated together for so many years, Gu Yan and Gu Qi had an unspoken understanding. With just a slight change in their auras, Gu Qi understood Gu Yan's current situation and even estimated the amount of Immortal Mystic Crystals Gu Yan still possessed.
One more attack and this stage illusion will shatter, allowing it to withstand the attacks from Chen Fei and his clone. At that time, Gu Yan's Immortal Crystal will be enough to restore him to his peak condition.
Once the illusion of the stage is gone, our chances of escaping will greatly increase if we join forces with Qu Hongshan and fight our way out.
"boom!"
This time, the explosion was vastly different from the previous one. After the entire stage illusion trembled violently, it fell into a strange stillness, and then, in the next moment, it completely collapsed.
The waves of fire surged from within the Fire Spirit Secret Realm, and in the distance, one could vaguely see an overwhelming mass of fire spirits rushing towards them.
Never before had Qu Hongshan felt that such an extreme environment as the secret realm was so fascinating.
A feeling of relief and rebirth welled up from the bottom of my heart.
However, Qu Hongshan immediately suppressed his emotions and looked up at the Heavenly Demons Gu Yan and Gu Qi not far away. If he wanted to survive, he had to join forces with these two extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons.
It seems that the Demon Gu Yan did not possess the Immortal Crystal. He had just been injured and recovered, and was not yet at his peak, still bearing some injuries.
It won't affect the combat effectiveness, but you should be careful that Chen Fei and his clone focus their attacks on Gu Yan.
At this moment, the three of them cannot afford any more losses. If another one dies, they will all perish here today.
Qu Hongshan's figure transformed into a rainbow of light, and the short dagger in his hand slashed directly at Chen Fei's main body.
Qu Hongshan arrived behind Chen Fei's main body without any trouble, but there was no joy in his eyes at this moment, because Chen Fei turned around and did not stop him!
Chen Fei turned around and stood at a distance, watching him rush behind Chen Fei's main body.
This is not normal, this is absolutely not normal!
Qu Hongshan stared intently at the back of Chen Fei's main body, while glancing at Chen Fei's clone out of the corner of his eye. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.
Qu Hongshan looked at the Heavenly Demons Gu Yan and Gu Qi again and found that these two extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons were also standing still, not taking the opportunity to join forces to attack Chen Fei.
Seemingly sensing Qu Hongshan's gaze, Tianmo Gu Yan and Gu Qi looked up at the same time, and then a strange smile suddenly appeared on their faces.
This scene made Qu Hongshan's eyes widen instantly.
"Wow!"
The stirring of the primordial energy of heaven and earth caused a tremendous howling sound, and under the frantic tremor of Qu Hongshan's soul, the strange scene around him shattered instantly.
Qu Hongshan closed his eyes, then opened them again, and found himself still standing on the stage. Chen Fei stepped forward and struck him on the head with a palm, instantly injuring Qu Hongshan severely.
It was because of his serious injuries that Qu Hongshan was able to escape from the illusion he had just been in.
Unbeknownst to him, Qu Hongshan had unknowingly fallen into a new illusion.
Perhaps it was because of the shock of the impending collapse of the stage of cause and effect that my mind was in turmoil, and I was swept away by the power of illusion, thus falling into a new illusion.
Both being at the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm, their minds and souls were actually manipulated by Chen Fei. How ridiculous!
Following his fighting instincts, Qu Hongshan slashed at Chen Fei's back with his short dagger.
Chen Fei's past self dodged backward as if leaping through space, but Qu Hongshan's gaze was not on Chen Fei's past self, but focused on the entire stage illusion, as well as the Heavenly Demon Gu Yan and Gu Qi in the distance.
The entire stage illusion did indeed have many flaws, but it was still some distance from being completely shattered.
The illusion of the stage about to shatter was deliberately shown to them by Chen Fei, and in their despair, seeing what they wanted to see, they naturally believed it to be real.
The scene of the shattered stage not only plunged Qu Hongshan into a new illusion, but also plunged the Heavenly Demon Gu Yan and Gu Qi into a new illusion.
This state of being within a state, a dream within a dream, represents the most severe form of being trapped in illusion, leaving almost no room to react to the outside world.
Therefore, what Qu Hongshan saw at this moment was Chen Fei and his clone slicing through Gu Yan's body with a single sword strike.
This time, however, Gu Yan, the Heavenly Demon, no longer possessed the Immortal Mystic Crystal. All the vitality and essence within his body were completely shattered by the violent power of Chen Fei's sword energy.
Tianmo Gu Yan looked at Chen Fei with trembling lips, wanting to speak, but found that he could not utter a single word.
Chen Fei swung the Qian Yuan Sword, splitting the body of the Heavenly Demon Gu Yan in two.
"It can't be, it can't be, why is this happening, why..."
Tianmo Gu Qi looked at the scene before him and could not accept it.
These three are at the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Realm, cultivating both Yuan Power and physical strength, and practicing the top-tier fourteenth-level inheritance. As a trinity, their offensive power reinforces each other, and they share the burden of damage.
The Immortal Mystic Crystals they previously possessed totaled over seven thousand pieces.
Such power, such a quantity of immortal crystals, was forcibly killed here by a cultivator who had just broken through to the immortal realm less than a year ago, and he couldn't even leave the illusion.
In his desperate desire to escape, he even found himself trapped in a situation within a situation.
How absurd! How ridiculous!
Chen Fei and the Night Demon Warrior appeared before the Heavenly Demon Gu Qi, and just like before, he unleashed a sword strike.
"Chen Fei, I was wrong. Spare my life! I'll give you all the Immortal Mystic Crystals I have. Whatever you ask for, I'll grant it..."
Qu Hongshan's voice came from behind, but Chen Fei's expression remained unchanged.
A dozen or so breaths later, accompanied by the vibration of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, Chen Fei dispersed from the stage of cause and effect.
By seizing fortune through the Purple Qi Karma Binding, Chen Fei's fortune has reached an unprecedented level. Combined with what he already possessed, if he were to exchange it on the Earth Ranking, he could exchange it for nearly 2,300 Immortal Mystic Crystals.
However, that's not the point right now. Chen Fei flipped his left hand over and looked at a dark golden bead in his palm, his eyes flickering slightly.
After plundering the fortune, Chen Fei discovered that the dissipated fortune of Qu Hongshan and the others was intertwined with each other, resonating with the Heavenly Dao of the entire secret realm, and then condensed into such a light bead.
Through this luminous pearl, Chen Fei sensed the aura of a fourteenth-tier spiritual material.
