Li Mo freed himself from the ropes again.
This time, he observed for a long time and didn't act rashly.
Deng Chanyu and Nezha fought over and over again, with Nezha always getting hurt. But despite his bruised face, his spiritual power and agility were unaffected.
'Seems like waiting until they're exhausted won't work.'
Li Mo frowned and sat cross-legged on the ground, palms facing the sky, adjusting his breath.
Ten-odd minutes later, Li Mo's body started flowing with blue spiritual qi. It all flowed to his head and formed three blue flowers.
The flowers flickered and in the end, became solid, floating above Li Mo's head and swaying.
"Activating the Five Qis Unification Secret Technique with Level Four strength might be a little too much, but it should be possible to split into two or three, right?"
Li Mo stood up.
In the distance, Deng Chanyu and Nezha's fight came to an end. Deng Chanyu threw a five-colored rock, sending Nezha clutching his face and fleeing.
Hum ~
Li Mo stepped before Deng Chanyu and punched.
He didn't use spiritual qi this time, relying solely on his body's power. Just as his fist was about to land on Deng Chanyu, the five-colored light shot out again.
Li Mo guessed it the first time. Deng Chanyu had a secret treasure that could defend against magical arts, as well as physical attacks.
"Origin Qi Secret Art!"
Li Mo roared and the three blue flowers exploded, turning into five stars that fell to the ground.
In a blur …
The five stars turned into Li Mo. Five clones and one true body stood side by side, making it impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake.
This art was called Origin Qi Secret Art. At its highest stage, the five qi would turn into five clones, with the same power as the main body.
Five Qi Forming Origin was one of the human race's top secret arts that could stand shoulder to shoulder with Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art. But Li Mo's Five Qi Forming Origin wasn't complete. When he got it, it was incomplete. It couldn't be like the legends said, where three flowers bloomed and five clones appeared.
It took a long time to build up power and it was hard to say if he could make five clones. And most importantly, the duration wasn't fixed …
Puff puff puff puff —
Just as the five clones appeared, they lasted for less than a second before four of them turned into four puffs of green smoke and dissipated.
Of the five clones, only one was left.
Li Mo's clone flashed and used Warp to circle behind Deng Chanyu, arms outstretched as he pounced.
Li Mo's punch was blocked by the five-colored immortal light, but the clone's pounce was effective, throwing Deng Chanyu to the ground.
Deng Chanyu's Five Colored Immortal Robe could defend against magical arts and physical attacks. But every time it released its Five Colored Immortal Light, it would take a few seconds to release it again. Li Mo took a long time to find this flaw.
Rip —
Li Mo's clone tore open Deng Chanyu's breastplate and tore the Five Colored Immortal Dress off before it could release its second light!
Li Mo and his clone pounced on Deng Chanyu, throwing punches and kicks …
Deng Chanyu had lost her five-colored immortal robe. She might be stronger than the average person, but she couldn't take two Li Mo's beating. It wasn't long before she was knocked out.
Pff ~
While Li Mo was beating Deng Chanyu, the clone disappeared without a trace.
Fortunately, the doppelganger had completed its mission.
"Who would've thought this incomplete secret art would do such a good job."
Li Mo sighed. In his past life, the Five Qi Unification Art he got was incomplete. He felt it was of little value and never cultivated it. But today, it finally came in handy.
Li Mo put Deng Chanyu's Five Colored Immortal Robe and Five Colored Stones into his Star Ring and sighed.
Without them, Deng Chanyu couldn't even compare to Li Mo.
Li Mo carried Deng Chanyu and left.
Not long after, Nezha fell from the sky with a bloody nose and a swollen face. But this time, he couldn't find Deng Chanyu.
Li Mo carried Deng Chanyu to the time-space rupture's exit, but after some hesitation, he didn't bring her out.
This small world was small, but if he chose, he'd have to go again. And whether or not the Five Qi Unification Art would work every time was a big problem.
If the origin fragment's incarnation was Nezha and not Deng Chanyu, then bringing her out would be pointless.
"The best way …"
Li Mo thought of a good idea.
Deng Chanyu slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was already tied up.
"W-who are you?" Deng Chanyu glared at Li Mo with rage.
In this small world, Deng Chanyu and Nezha's battle would go on forever if no one disturbed them. But if they did, she would react normally.
"I'm the bad guy." Li Mo smiled, revealing his white teeth.
"Release me, villain!"
Li Mo waved his finger in front of Deng Chanyu's eyes.
Li Xiangxiang used the demon race's Soul Hex Art to hypnotize Deng Chanyu and make her work for him.
Deng Chanyu was stronger than Nezha, but she relied on the Five Colored Immortal Robe and Five Colored Stone. Without them, she was no match for Nezha.
In fact, the real danger in this small world was Nezha. With three heads and six arms, he was invulnerable. Without Deng Chanyu's help, even if Li Mo perfected the Five Qi Unification Art, he still wouldn't be able to beat Nezha.
The difference between them was too great. There was no way he could win.
Li Mo was sweating from the exhaustion. After waving his finger for five minutes, Deng Chanyu's eyes were as clear as ever.
Li Mo's half-baked Soul Hex Art was useless against Deng Chanyu.
"Mortals of ancient times couldn't even be called mortals. I was too naive."
Li Mo shook his head.
Deng Chanyu was a mere mortal, but her soul was as stable as Li Mo's.
If the difference in power was too great, Li Mo could easily control her. But if they were evenly matched, the Soul Hex Art was useless.
Of course, if it was the Mei Emperor, controlling her wouldn't be a problem. But Li Mo's understanding of the Soul Hex Art wasn't much better than the incomplete Five Qi Origin Art. The reason he knew of this secret art was because he had only scratched the surface when fighting the Mei Emperor.
"I'm sorry."
Li Mo took out the Underworld Stone and shrunk it to the size of a brick. Under Deng Chanyu's horrified gaze, he swung the brick …
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After taking three hits from the Underworld Stone, Deng Chanyu's mind immediately became dizzy, and her stable Divine Soul also began to dissipate.
"Again!"
