Chapter 2038: Chapter 2038 Make Use of It
Just then, the Sea Buckthorn Monster was unexpectedly ambushed by a clone. Except for the main trunk of its body, most of its branches were frozen.
In addition, having lost a lot of sea buckthorn, it had a greatly reduced resistance to spirit attacks and was set on fire by the Netherworld Ghost Fire, causing it to howl in pain.
The Alligator Beastman seized this opportunity, while the Sea Buckthorn beast was frozen, exerted its genuine energy and smashed all the tentacles of the monster that entwined him.
Then, it launched a full attack on the trunk of the Sea Buckthorn Beast. While the beast was distracted, the alligator beastman slammed the sea buckthorn beast and plucked it out of the ground.
Taking advantage of the moment when the roots of Sea Buckthorn beast left the ground, the clone froze its trunk from the roots using the Power of Ice.
In this way, when the sea-buckthorn fell to the ground, it would be unable to insert its roots back into the soil to absorb energy.
The Alligator Beastman seized the opportunity and shattered the roots of the Sea Buckthorn beast with a punch, followed by another punch that blasted away its trunk.
The scattered sea buckthorn had no resistance, and its spirit was almost instantly burned by the Netherworld Ghost Fire. Now, with its trunk gone, it was completely wrecked.
The clone immediately released the Golden Crow Sacred Fire with its Golden Phantom Eyes, incinerating the entire area of the Sea Buckthorn Beast.
Without waiting to see the outcome, he turned and fled. This time he was heading straight towards the Eel Demon.
The Alligator Beastman, still not having had enough, beat a few more times to vent its anger, eliminating all the remaining sea buckthorn before he realized about the clone. When he found out the clone had fled, he chased after it at full speed.
Though it had depleted its genuine energy, it was not afraid of retaliation from the clone due to its strong body.
All the elders in the main hall looked at each other in confusion, not understanding the purpose of Ye Liuyun’s actions.
If Ye Liuyun had not made a move just now, the one who could have been killed was possibly the Alligator Beastman or the two could have mutually inflicted heavy loss, hence providing Ye Liuyun with an opportunistic advantage.
But Ye Liuyun’s behavior looked more like he was leading the Alligator Beastman to kill the Sea Buckthorn Beast. However, he did not take any treasures in the end, so the elders were all puzzled.
Because Ye Liuyun always moved in straight lines, they could always guess his target. He was obviously leading the alligator beastman and headed towards the eel demon.
"This lad, wasting so much time running around!" Mao Hongyin expressed his worries.
It took almost a day to get to the Sea Buckthorn Beast and it would take almost a whole day to return back to the Eel Demon.
Even the Alligator Beastman had lost its patience from pursuing and had slowed down.
So, Ye Liuyun’s clone had to continually provoke it, either by burning it with Golden Crow Sacred Fire released from his Golden Phantom Eyes or shooting it with arrows. Using in various ways to make the Alligator Beastman chase him faster.
Because the alligator beastman speed can be slow, no feral beasts dared to attack it due to his high- tier. But if the clone slowed down, it would be targeted by flying creatures or feral beasts.
During the last half of the journey, the clone had to take out the Ice Pearl to provoke the Alligator Beastman.
The move was indeed effective, as the Half-Beast roared and chased after him at full speed upon seeing the Ice Pearl.
However, after chasing him for half a day without the provocation from the Ice Pearl, the Alligator Beastman lost its drive again.
But suddenly, the clone speeded up, shaking off the Half-Beast and headed directly for the cave where the Eel Beast resided.
The Alligator beastman discovered that the clone was far ahead and so it pursued with a faster speed.
At this time, Ye Liuyun’s clone was nearing the mouth of the cave.
"I finally waited for you! Seems like humans’ patience can’t compare with mine!"
The Eel Beast, finding that Ye Liuyun had appeared, was still arrogant and came out of the cave in the form of a beautiful woman.
However, Ye Liuyun’s clone instantly wrapped up in an invisibility cloak and disappeared.
As the eel demon beast was caught off guard, the alligator beastman also fell from the sky, rushing over.
Upon seeing a human being, it assumed it was part of the group with the clone and launched an attack immediately, throwing a punch at the eel demon.
The eel demon beast didn’t have time to think, let alone explain, and could only give its all and try to block with a palm strike.
With a booming "Bang", the eel demon beast was instantly knocked back into its original form by the half-beast crocodile. A yellow-brown eel lay on the ground, with numerous fractures on its body, stained with blood.
The strength of the eel demon was insufficient, but its illusion technique was top-notch. It had already used it when it was defending just now. However, the alligator beastman charged down too fast. The illusion had not taken effect in time and she ended up getting hit.
The half-beast crocodile quickly got consumed by the situation.
The clone, wearing an concealcape, stayed faraway and watched from a distance.
He didn’t know what kind of illusion the half-beast crocodile entered. He just observed it exhausting all of its spiritual yuan.
Its spiritual yuan was already scant, and soon there was nothing left. After that, it opened its mouth wide.
The eel demon beast took the opportunity to whip its tail and launched a strike with its spiritual yuan.
The half-beast crocodile was covered in scales. If it didn’t open its mouth, the eel demon beast wouldn’t be able to harm it.
The eel demon beast was seriously injured but it was, after all, in the early stage of the eighth level. It launched its spiritual yuan in full force into the half-beast crocodile’s mouth, overwhelming it.
Especially when the half-beast crocodile had no spiritual yuan left. Its head was immediately blasted from inside, the body’s flesh and innards were blasted to pieces, but surprisingly, the scales remained intact.
The massive body of the half-beast crocodile immediately collapsed onto the ground.
At this moment, the eel demon was also near exhaustion. The difference between the initial and the middle stages of the eighth tier was significant. It had taken a punch and was already gravely injured. With the last attack, it exerted the last of its energy.
Suddenly, it felt a spatial fluctuation from behind.
Becoming aware of the sneak attack, it desperately dodged while conjuring illusions.
With a hissing sound, the attacker missed its head and chopped off its tail instead.
Nonetheless, he relentlessly pursued with a succession of swift strikes.
The eel-like beast struggled to dodge and was swiftly struck several times. It kept wondering why the attacker was unaffected by its illusions.
"Whoosh!"
Launching another strike, the attacker split its body into two, severing the connection between its spirit stone and its head.
The attacker then extended his hand to secure its spirit stone, preventing it from taking it back.
Realizing that its end was inevitable, the eel monster stopped conjuring illusions and launched a soul assault on the attacker, directing its soul directly into Ye Liuyun’s consciousness sea.
"Ah!"
Various elders within the hall immediately cried out in alarm.
The sight of the imminent soul attack from the eel monster had them on edge.
However, the attacker had already assessed the strength of the eel’s soul. Its soul was only slightly stronger than the average martial artist of the same realm.
It was its illusions that made people believe its soul was formidable.
In reality, it was compelled to stay in the cave every day, without the chance of gaining any worldly treasures to cultivate its soul.
The ocean of consciousness was the clone’s home court. The ghostic fire, devil lightning lightning and the Buddha’s halo quickly extinguished the divine soul of the eel demon. It then became a nourishment for the clone’s divine soul.
