Li Yao coughed softly. A few bumps slightly bulged on his abdomen, as if a few rats were scampering around him and crawling into his pants.
When they crawled out of his pants, they turned out to be four beast puppets in the shape of spiders the size of palms!
The four beast puppets shook softly on the ground and immediately entered the stealth state. Swooshing, they lunged at Dongfang Mingyue, or "Long Yangjun", Li Yao's old rival in the Ancient Sages Sector who was neither a man nor a woman, but who was both a friend and a foe.
Under the control of Li Yao's telepathic thoughts, the four beast puppets were both gentle and agile. They dashed in the crowd agilely and reached Long Yangjun's feet in the blink of an eye without touching any of the passersby's feet.
Long Yangjun sniffed, as if she found Li Yao's moves to be too uncreative and too easy to deal with. They were not challenging at all.
Li Yao sneered. The backs of the four beast puppets suddenly split apart, and a hundred super-tiny beast puppets that were smaller than fleas jumped out. Also in the stealth state, they lunged at the critical parts all over Long Yangjun's body without a sound or raising any waves!
Small as a sparrow was, it had all the internal organs. On the metal and crystal bodies that were the size of fleas, a hundred attack rune arrays had been carved, and the capsules on the abdomen stored the venom that could corrode the abdomen. Such amazing refining techniques could only have been performed by Li Yao, a master of ancient refining who was adept at manual forging.
The assault of the hundred 'invisible fleas' finally made Long Yangjun exclaim in a low voice, attracting the attention of the passersby.
Two red ripples immediately spread out on her cheeks.
Li Yao knew that the 'invisible fleas' could not trap Long Yangjun, but he still strode forward and squeezed into the crowd again. Calculating the height of the buildings on the sides, the angle of the sunlight on the glass walls of the skyscrapers, the speed of the crowd, and the structure of the blocks, he considered the most perfect battle plan.
As he expected, three seconds later, the telepathic thoughts between him and the beast puppets were cut off, and the hundred windows in his brain were all closed. All the "invisible fleas" had been taken care of by Long Yangjun.
He did not need to look back to see that Long Yangjun was chasing after him, biting her lips hard.
There was a crossroad in front of them. Although most of the vehicles traveled in the air, there were still some public vehicles and special vehicles that traveled on the ground. Moreover, when the crowd was too turbulent, there would be conflicts between the horizontal and vertical crowds. Therefore, there were still traffic lights and a countdown timer to indicate the time they could pass.
At this moment, it was Li Yao's turn. There were still five seconds left.
Li Yao's telepathic thoughts rolled toward the traffic lights like an invisible octopus. His spiritual energy invaded the control chips of the traffic lights and accelerated the countdown by twenty percent without alarming anyone.
In such a case, if Long Yangjun maintained the same speed, she would've been stopped the moment he passed the intersection.
As he expected, Long Yangjun accelerated her pace.
She was still maintaining the disguise of a common office worker. It would've been too weird if she dashed through the crowd like quicksilver with her most brilliant movement techniques. She could only pretend that she was in a hurry and try to push the passersby in front of her away.
When there were only two seconds left on the countdown, Long Yangjun reached the intersection.
At this moment, the sunlight happened to be illuminated from the curved glass wall of a skyscraper on the left side. As if it had been focused by a magnifying glass, it was shot into Long Yangjun's eyes precisely!
It was a trap that Li Yao had carefully set up for Long Yangjun. He had turned the plain environment into the most fatal weapon.
However, Long Yangjun had been an unparalleled expert at the peak of the Yuanying Stage decades ago. She was not an ordinary human being but boasted an ancient bloodline from the primeval era.
During the battle against the extraterrestrial devils in the Xing Yao Federation, she had absorbed tremendous strength of the extraterrestrial devils and gradually activated the mysteries deep inside her bloodline. She could perceive the entire world clearly even without eyes, not to mention such an insignificant trick as being dazzled by sunlight.
Her retina constricted for only 0.01 seconds before it returned to normal.
During the 0.01 seconds, she also sensed that Li Yao was fiddling with something with the tip of his foot in front of her. Then, he suddenly lowered his body, and his scent was entirely gone.
When she squeezed forward to take a look, she discovered that it was the cover of a sewer. It had been sealed for a long time, but it was showing signs of loosening at this moment.
Next to her, an old man whose face was full of wrinkles looked at the cover in surprise and mumbled to himself, as if he were wondering if his eyes were deceiving him. Why did it seem that somebody had suddenly vanished?
Long Yangjun sneered in her heart. A leopard never changes its spots!
She lifted the edge of the cover carefully with the tip of her foot and released part of her telepathic thoughts to explore. Then, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and her pretty face immediately turned pale.
Just now, she had performed the technique of Heaven Vision and Earth Hearing and remembered the appearance and body shape of everybody around. However, the white-haired, wrinkled old man next to the cover of the sewer had never appeared in her memory before!
Hardly had the idea occurred to her when the 'old man' — or Li Yao — had already taken action!
His fingers seemed to be cramping crazily like the habitual movements of a regular old man, but every cramp meant that a devastating wind blade was condensed and darted at the critical parts all over Long Yangjun's body brutally.
Red flowers blossomed on Long Yangjun's pale cheeks again. Her long, slender fingers also waved softly, dispersing all the wind blades into nothingness. She even cut off the control of Li Yao's telepathic thoughts and reversed the direction of some of the wind blades, throwing them back at Li Yao! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
In three seconds, the two of them had already clashed a thousand times.
However, the passers-by nearby all turned a blind eye to it, not realizing at all that the two most dreadful 'monsters' were lurking right next to them and having a soul-stirring competition.
Long Yangjun's sword arts were obviously better than Li Yao's. She came back to herself after being caught unprepared at the beginning and soon seized the initiative. The wind blades were like hundreds of invisible flying swords that were as thin as hair, stinging Li Yao's eyes so hard that there were holes everywhere.
While Li Yao was dealing with them in a hurry and was about to lose his cool, a few transparent molecular mica threads sneaked out of the cover of the sewer below Long Yangjun's feet stealthily and tied up her legs!
Although the molecular mica threads had not reached the level of monomolecular alignment, they were very close to it. They couldn't have been sharper and could have cut any spiritual shield or strengthened plate armor apart.
Everything just now was just a disguise. This was Li Yao's real fatal move!
Long Yangjun gritted her teeth again. This time, she was the one who was in a hurry again. She dodged the entanglement of the molecular mica threads in embarrassment and cut them in half brutally. When she raised her head again, Li Yao had squeezed into the crowd again, but he had turned to the street on the right. BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Right then, explosions echoed deep inside the skyscrapers behind the two of them.
Yue Wushuang's devil huntresses were indeed convinced by Li Yao's judgment. They retreated in advance in case they stepped into the trap and were annihilated.
But it was inevitable that they ran into the infuriated demon hunters, too. A thrilling chase began.
Almost a hundred Crystal Suit interweaved among the skyscrapers, performing the most destructive and dazzling techniques with the most dazzling sound and visual effects. They were blossoming like fireworks in the daytime.
As a result, the glass walls were all exploding, and the pieces were raining down like flowers.
The passersby on the street immediately fell into chaos. Exclaiming in shock, they covered their heads and fled into the stores and buildings on both sides of the street to take shelter.
Li Yao and Long Yangjun were mixed in the chaotic crowd. The ever-changing battle was even more complicated than before.
However, the panic of the crowd, the pieces of glass, and the nonstop explosions in the sky gave them more room to take action.
Li Yao and Long Yangjun both vaguely guessed each other's concerns.
With their similar strength, if they were to really fight, they would definitely have to reveal all their trump cards.
However, they both had too many secrets, and they did not want to see the light of day easily.
It was especially so for Long Yangjun. She was not a human being but a member of the Nuwa Clan who had been invaded by the forces of the Pangu clan when she was still an embryo. She was such a weird being that nobody could tell what she was.
Even if she could deal serious damage to Li Yao, she would certainly have to reveal her true form. In the Imperium that regarded the Pangu clan as a major threat, such a move would undoubtedly be suicide.
Therefore, neither Li Yao nor Long Yangjun was willing to attract the devil huntresses, demon hunters, or even other Immortal Cultivators. Instead, they hoped that they could settle the problem in their own way.
The glass shards that were falling rapidly in midair suddenly seemed to be injected with a strange life. They flew out horizontally and collided with each other, turning into white powder that drifted in the air.
The white powder, on the other hand, was condensed into flying swords as thick as needles under the control of mysterious forces. They darted to the two sides of the street in a weird way that was as fast as lightning and as silent as they were soundless.
At this moment, the street was already empty. Everybody had fled to the shopping malls and shops on the two sides of the street, leaving the broken pieces of glass on the ground.
Li Yao and Long Yangjun stood on one side of the street and walked forward unhurriedly, shooting at each other across the storm of glass. The flying swords brushed past them dangerously and fell to the ground in clusters of sand again.
Although there was no sound or smoke, the battle was a hundred times more intense than the battle between the devil huntresses and the demon hunters up above.
Suddenly, Li Yao came to a stop.
Up ahead was a station for an underground crystal train. There were entrances and exits in the shopping malls on the two sides of the street.
It was a major station and an intersection of two underground crystal rails. There were a lot of branches in the underground tunnels.
