Zhang Yan saw that the rope was about to land on him, but he didn't dodge. Instead, he circulated his mana, and in an instant, his whole body seemed to have undergone a subtle change. He seemed to be at the same place, but not at the same time; he seemed to be there, but not there at the same time. He used the magical power he learned from the Crimson Dragon and escaped from the "surface of heaven and earth" into the "inside" of heaven and earth.
The Binding Rope fell, but it kept circling around him. It didn't leave, but it didn't move forward either. At this moment, he was like an inverted image to the real world. Without the magical power to connect with him, it couldn't capture him.
Jiang Ao and the others were shocked when they saw this. They said, "How is this possible?"
They didn't expect that the Dharma treasure they had high hopes for would be useless. Before this, the Dharma treasures of Green Jade Palace had never failed.
The two Daoists of Green Jade Palace were about to use their powers to make a divination, but now they were in disbelief.
They clearly saw that Zhang Yan didn't use his Root Fruit, and his aura was clearly there. His real body didn't leave, so why didn't the rope see him?
At this moment, Zhang Yan's giant hand had already reached Jiang Ao and the others. It closed its fingers, as if it was going to grab them.
Daoist Ying hastily unleashed his divine arts and seals to attack, but the seals simply passed through them as if they were passing through illusions. Daoist Ying immediately came to his senses after witnessing this scene, and he transmitted his voice to Daoist Ying, "This man must be using some kind of extremely superior technique that allows him to change between real and unreal."
However, even though they knew this, the three of them had no choice but to retreat. Since Zhang Yan was able to turn from solid to ethereal, then he could definitely turn from ethereal to solid as well. Not only did this not reduce the threat at all, it made it even more difficult for them to defend against it.
Above the clouds, the first Daoist finally came back to his senses. He looked at the spinning rope and couldn't help but shake his head. He sighed and said, "This person is indeed Tai Ming Zhenren's direct disciple. His method of changing between real and fake is really marvelous." Then, he said solemnly, "But we can't break the rules of Green Jade Palace. As long as we haven't figured out this person's Root Fruit, we can't go back. Junior Brother, you and I have to be careful."
The other Daoist revealed a serious expression and said, "Junior Brother understands."
Zhang Yan sent out a palm strike. Seeing that the three of them were retreating into the distance, he glanced to the side. The Interspatial Binding Rope was not as simple as it seemed. Once he escaped, he would probably be entangled by it again. From a certain point of view, this transcendent artifact had already achieved its goal of binding his opponents.
However, in the end, it was just an inanimate object without any spirituality, so there were ways to deal with it. With a command in his heart, he flew up into the sky, whereas the rope remained on the spot without moving. This was because this treasure was only staring at the place where his vital energy remained, and it wouldn't follow him unless he stepped foot onto the surface of the heavens and the earth once more.
Being in the "heavens and the earth" meant that he was constantly changing his Qi. Now that he was flying in the air, even the inexplicable objects that came through the air couldn't keep up with him. So, he summoned the Nine Absorption Demonic Slip in his heart. The slip trembled, and like a dam bursting, it immediately increased the traction force by a lot. With this help, he no longer had to worry about the rear, and he flew even faster.
Daoist Ying, who was experienced, transmitted his voice and said, "There's no need to fight him head-on. We'll just retreat first. I don't believe that this person can hide in the void and not come out. Moreover, this is Qinghua Heaven. How much mana can he withstand?
Daoist Bai said, "Yes, we can wait for him to show up before fighting him."
In reality, they had no choice but to retreat at this moment. Their previous plan was based on the prerequisite of the Binding Rope trapping the opponent. Only then could they proceed to the next step. Before they were sure that this method was useless, they weren't prepared to fight head-on.
Zhang Yan's eyes turned. Among these three people, two of them were only incarnations, and if there were no accidents, their original bodies were people who had severed the past and future. Even if their incarnations were destroyed here, it wouldn't affect their foundation. The only one who could be killed here was the giant person. He thought to himself, "Ju Rong has a junior brother called Jiang Ao. This person's figure and appearance are exactly the same as the rumors, so it must be him."
He took another look at the golden lamp that was floating there. Jiang Ao's cultivation was at most similar to Ju Rong's, but he couldn't see the past and future of this person. It was obvious that this lamp was shielding him.
As soon as he thought about it, he immediately came up with a plan. In a split second, he broke through the void and arrived in front of this person, throwing a punch at him.
Jiang Ao was shocked. He couldn't be sure if this punch from Zhang Yan was real or fake. He circulated his mana throughout his body, and his body suddenly doubled in size. Rays of light shot out from his skin, and his whole body was like a twinkling star. Without hesitation, he took out a talisman that he had summoned with Karma points, turning it into a spiritual light to protect his body. At the same time, he transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoists, please help me."
Ying and Bai frowned. They had come here on Jiang Ao's request. If their doppelgangers were unharmed, and the latter was the first to be beaten to death, not only would they be laughed at by their fellow Daoists, but they would also not be able to use the techniques that they had exchanged for with Karma points. Hence, they immediately activated their Divine Abilities and Treasured Treasures. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, they first attacked Zhang Yan.
At the same time that Zhang Yan threw a punch, he escaped from his Inner World. The vast and majestic force bombarded Jiang Ao's body. First, the layer of spiritual light formed by the talisman was destroyed, and then the starlight was dispersed. After that, Jiang Ao's whole body exploded into pieces of flesh and blood that filled the sky.
At this moment, Ying and Bai's attacks also landed on his body. When they came into contact with the Evil Qi outside his body, they immediately disappeared. However, at this moment, the Rope of Binding Rope sensed that he had come out. It turned around and instantly left its original position, heading towards him.
Zhang Yan calmly took a step back and returned to his Inner World. The Rope of Binding Rope missed its target again. His eyes flashed, and he took a step forward. This time, he rushed towards the Lamp of Suppressing Sunlight.
"Not good!"
Ying and Bai's expressions turned solemn. Although they did not think that the treasure of Green Jade Palace would be destroyed so easily, no one dared to take such a risk. This lamp was the only thing that Jiang Ao could rely on. If it was gone, he would not be able to participate in the battle before him. They hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop him. Two majestic Clear Qi suddenly flowed down like a heavenly waterfall, sweeping down and blocking the path ahead.
Zhang Yan took advantage of this moment to turn around and punch. It seemed to land on empty air, but it once again shattered Jiang Ao, who was just about to condense his body again.
In the end, Bai and Ying were only doppelgangers. Although they had the protection of Karma points and magical instruments, their supernatural power was limited. If they were separated, one of them would not be able to stop Zhang Yan. If they were together, they could only be tired of dealing with him. For a moment, they were a little overwhelmed, wishing that they could just abandon one side and not care about it.
Right when they were entangled in a battle, the few monsters that they'd forgotten about earlier charged over. Originally, these monsters were able to run amok in an area, but as soon as they entered the battlefield, every time their auras collided with each other, they would shriek repeatedly and be shaken to the point of tumbling back. Their bodies became extremely tattered, but it was only an instant before they recovered to their original state and charged over once more.
These demons had been baited. As long as their Spiritual Essence had not been exhausted, they would not fear the enemy. Although they kept staring at Zhang Yan, they would not be courteous to anyone who approached them. They did not distinguish between friend and foe, and they would even tear each other apart.
Because Zhang Yan was alone, and he would enter his Inner World from time to time, he was hindered by Ying and Bai more. After a long time, Daoist Ying lost his patience. He flicked his sleeve and shouted, "Get lost!" The three demons were immediately swept away by a gust of strong wind to a faraway place.
After fighting for a while, Taoist Ying felt that he would be in a very passive situation. Just as he was about to think of a countermeasure, he suddenly felt a divine will calling him. He changed his mind and released his own divine will. In an instant, it landed in an unknown place. Almost at the same time, Taoist Bai also arrived.
Jiang Ao was standing there, but his expression was not very good. When he saw that the two of them had arrived, he cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoists, since that Daoist Zhang attacked me, he must want to kill me first."
Taoist Ying said coldly, "That's natural. The two of us are only avatars. Even if Daoist Zhang can break our avatars, he won't be able to hurt our real body. Obviously, he doesn't want to use his strength on us."
Jiang Ao said, "In that case, we'll beat him at his own game."
Taoist Bai asked, "How?"
Jiang Ao replied, "First, we'll maintain the current situation. If we find a suitable opportunity, I'll use the Root Fruit to avoid this person, and at the same time, I'll try to trap him. At that time, I'll ask the two Enlightened Masters to attack together. As long as we can delay this person for a moment, the Binding Rope will wrap around him and trap him. After that, everything will be settled!"
Taoist Bai thought for a moment, then looked at Taoist Ying and said, "Although it's not a brilliant plan, it's very useful."
But Taoist Ying said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you need to consider this carefully. If you use the Root Fruit, although you can avoid that Daoist Zhang's method, you'll also avoid the Sun Suppressing Lantern. At that moment, the lantern's light won't be able to conceal you. That Daoist Zhang might be waiting for you to do this."
Jiang Ao revealed a determined expression and said, "That Daoist Zhang's magic power seems to be endless. I suspect that he has some kind of magic treasure that can replenish vitality. If we don't take the risk, we won't be able to defeat him if this continues!"
He had no choice but to do this. Although he had cultivated to the sixth tier of the strength path and wouldn't be killed so easily, every time he attacked, he couldn't help but lose a lot of his essence yuan qi and blood qi. Even if he could reform his flesh and blood, there was still a limit. He really didn't have the confidence that he could outlast Zhang Yan.
Ying and Bai had no other choice. Since Jiang Ao was willing to be the bait, they had no reason to stop him. After the discussion, the three of them withdrew their Divine Wills.
Jiang Ao's Divine Will turned around and gathered the scattered flesh and blood in the outside world. He was about to regrow his body when Zhang Yan's attack came again. He didn't hesitate and immediately took out the Root Fruit. His punch landed on empty air. At the same time, all the flesh and blood suddenly shrank inwards and wrapped around Zhang Yan's arm. It continued to spread towards his body and firmly dragged him into the real world.
Ying and Bai saw that he had already made his move. They immediately took out the Karma points magic treasures that they had been holding back and didn't use before. Two beams of treasure light struck down at the same time!
