Chapter 156: What Shall I Use to Fool You, My Friend?

“You’re courting death!”

Li Si was furious!

This wasn’t like before. After the Yunhua Law Seal was infused with 1000 portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth, its power became unimaginably great. It could definitely crush that Big Fly, if it dared to show itself.

So almost immediately, Li Si teleported directly into North Crossing City with the Yunhua Law Seal. But in that very instant, the Yunhua Law Seal actually hit nothing.

That Big Fly had flown out of the Seal’s suppression zone by a hair’s breadth.

Li Si’s heart sank. The worst case scenario had appeared. The enemy was gradually learning his patterns, gradually understanding his strengths and weaknesses.

Just like now.

The Yunhua Law Seal clearly had the power to crush the Big Fly. But because the Big Fly understood the situation, it could fly a thousand miles with one flap of its wings. Then it stopped right at the edge of the Yunhua Law Seal’s power, buzzing there, even washing its hands casually. Its intention to provoke was very clear.

And at this time, North Crossing City finally erupted with desperate shouts. People realized half the city’s population was gone.

Li Si appeared instantly at the suppression boundary with the Yunhua Law Seal, only a hundred meters away from the Big Fly.

In the past, this was the distance between life and death. But now, it felt more like a distance of shame.

The Big Fly didn’t run away at all. It just hovered there silently, watching Li Si’s face turn livid, watching him helpless, watching him grind his teeth in fury.

Now this Big Fly had used up two chances of possession. But so what? Li Si didn’t dare to step across that line either. Last time, he could rely on his Fetal Breathing Dao Body to return from death. How could the Big Fly not guard against that trick?

But if he did nothing, just stared fixedly at the Big Fly, then what difference was there between him and those World Guardian True Immortals bound by the Blood Coffin Curse?

Countless thoughts raced through Li Si’s mind.

The situation was clear now. Unless a World Guardian True Immortal appeared, or Herb Gatherer Xia Xiaowan showed up, no one could kill this Big Fly in an open confrontation.

And looking at its bouncing, energetic appearance, it obviously just wanted to disgust Li Si to death.

But how did it sneak in?

In Li Si’s territory, all coordinates were destroyed. Besides, the Yunhua Law Seal was watching. So the only possibility was that this fly had snuck over from the territories of the other six Puppet Kingdoms, traversing mountains and rivers, crossing seas just to see him.

So this was a dead end.

Either Li Si could instantly level up to a True Immortal, or find a True Immortal, or destroy the other six Puppet Kingdoms!

After a minute of standoff.

Li Si waved his hand. The Land Deed Seals belonging to North Crossing City, Eastflow City, Reed City, and Kaoshan City flew over. He had to break this stalemate.

Across from him, the Big Fly flapped its wings. Its green compound eyes shone with a Bizarre light.

It was tempted.

Land Deed Seals. Something it had schemed for thousands of years but never managed to get its hands on. Now the kid opposite was willing to hand them over. Haha, he wanted to take the chance to crush it. It just showed he was still too young.

Stupid human, just try throwing those Land Deed Seals out!

But Li Si really did throw them out. Four Land Deed Seals flew out with a whoosh, real as could be.

Then only one outcome would happen.

The Big Fly would immediately control one Land Deed Seal. It would thus gain a foothold in this world, no longer rejected by it. But at the same time, because it only had one possession chance left, this meant its current avatar would immediately die.

Yes, it was that simple.

So the moment those four Land Deed Seals were thrown out, nothing happened.

The Big Fly flapped its wings once, and actually zoomed back thirty miles with a whoosh. In its huge compound eyes, a Bizarre light flickered.

Li Si smiled. That’s more like it!

Last time the Big Fly appeared, at the Yunhua Sect base, completely ignoring the 100 Statue Avatars, Li Si knew then that the Fate Forge’s Divination Misdirection had already dealt a heavy blow to the Big Fly’s heart.

Look at the problem not from Li Si’s perspective. From its view, Li Si was already bound to lose this time. As long as the Big Fly kept stalling him, he was essentially bound by a mobile Blood Coffin Curse.

But, the Big Fly might not be omniscient and omnipotent.

Oh, it could be, but after being repeatedly hurt by the Fate Forge’s Divination Misdirection, it no longer trusted its own divinations.

What?

Believe what you see? Believe your head! My 36,000 compound eyes seeing is ‘real’ my foot.

It was all a lie.

Once, twice, again and again.

Damn it! My divinations get fooled. I try to ‘add friends’ and still get fooled. I clearly killed that bastard, yet he was still alive and well, and getting worse. He was just the Kaoshan Patriarch before, now he’s the Eternal Life Real Person.

Real my foot!

You still want to fool me now!

Where’s the conscience you promised? You don’t even have a shred of conscience left!

Cry!

So, when it saw Li Si decisively bring four Land Deed Seals, even though the aura they emitted told it, “Yes, this is the real deal, quick, take them!”

But, why should I take them? Did I forget my real purpose for coming this time?

I’m going to kill all your people, one by one. I absolutely won’t make pointless sacrifices anymore. I don’t want to be a fool again.

Hmph, get lost!

As for divination? Divination your head! No need to guess, I know. If I pick any target at random to divine, the result will definitely be true, absolutely certain. But, heh, speaking of it brings tears.

Was it easy for me to cultivate an avatar?

Was it easy for me to smuggle my avatar here?

Just like that, I get fooled!

Ahhh! Scammer, get lost!

At this moment, Li Si waved his hand. Four Substitute Wooden Figurines, identical to him, appeared. Without hesitation, they leaped out of the suppression zone. Each held a Land Deed Seal and began to spread out, semi-surrounding the Big Fly.

Seeing this, the Big Fly laughed. Stupid scammer! A thousand years and you’re still the same. You’re insulting the wisdom of deities and demons!

This time, I won’t let you succeed. I only have one possession chance left, but I won’t use it, I won’t possess anyone. Come hit me! As long as I can keep your powerful Seal tied down here for a few more months, my second avatar will traverse mountains and rivers, cross seas to come visit you.

Then, let’s see what you do?

I’m so smart.

To be honest, if it weren’t for that Giant Mushroom suddenly disappearing, causing the bewitched Muan to stubbornly keep a shred of clarity and refuse to attack the Mortal Realm, why would I bother with this attrition tactic?

Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to just have four avatars launch assaults from all sides?

Luckily, even without the Giant Mushroom, there’s still the Giant Radish…

However, the Big Fly also remained vigilant, not letting those four Li Sis and four Land Deed Seals get too close.

After a few rounds of this back-and-forth probing, Li Si seemed disappointed. He frowned, and the four Li Sis frowned simultaneously.

The next instant, the four Land Deed Seals suddenly burst into flames. They were sacrificed – transforming into soaring light that merged with the glow of the Yunhua Law Seal.

Almost simultaneously, the already prepared Big Fly violently flapped its wings, instantly flying back fifteen hundred miles. Haha, you little rascal, come catch me, catch me…

BOOM!

The Yunhua Law Seal suddenly pierced through the dense Blood Cloud, instantly suppressing an area of two thousand miles.

Everything was meaningless. Everything was futile.

That Big Fly watched helplessly as it was directly crushed into dust.

“Crushed an Unknown Deity/Demon’s avatar. Obtained 2000 portions of Golden Qi Luck Firewood.”

A piece of information appeared. A bit surprising. This was probably because the Big Fly still had one possession chance left, so it was an extra gain.

But Li Si couldn’t feel happy at all, because this time he had probably exhausted all his tricks.

He had sacrificed four Land Deed Seals to strengthen the Yunhua Law Seal, gaining a suppression area of two thousand square miles. So the Big Fly didn’t escape.

But next time? What shall I use to fool you, my friend?

Moreover, he could imagine it, and the Big Fly would surely think of it too. What if two Big Fly avatars appeared, one south and one north, one east and one west, making him unable to defend both sides?

Ultimately, he still lacked means to confront it head-on.

Thinking of this, Li Si touched his Storage Pouch. Just now, he had actually considered using those 132 Soul-Chasing Arrows. But in the end, he held back.

These ancient treasures could pursue enemies within a three-thousand-mile range, but they were ineffective against law-based powers. He couldn’t be sure if the Big Fly had law-based powers, so he couldn’t reveal his hand.

Besides, 132 Soul-Chasing Arrows were actually still too few. Less than 1000? Wouldn’t that be looking down on me, the Big Fly?

So Li Si planned, after retrieving the Lingjing Sect, to try being a ferryman a few more times, earn some extra income or something.

Oh, also, he actually had another method that could heavily injure the Big Fly. That was the Dusty Flying Sword. If he could refine it again, it would surely work.

But, for some reason, even though the information said it could be refined, when he actually tried refining it with Qi Luck, it failed for an unknown reason.

Finally, when Herb Gatherer Xia Xiaowan returned, he must make her leave an emergency contact method, for convenient emergency rescue.

With a long sigh, Li Si looked at North Crossing City, which now had only thirty thousand people left. Although his heart was uneasy, he still sent a Divine Decree to the city lord, ordering him to send five thousand people to reside permanently in Yangwan Small Town.

Facing an enemy like the Big Fly, if everyone hid in one city, they would actually die faster. But if they lived in villages of a few dozen or a few hundred people, the Big Fly wouldn’t attack, because it would waste its possession ability.

Of course, maybe the Big Fly could also attack physically. Then there would be no solution.

He couldn’t delay any longer. He had to leave now.

Huh?

Li Si’s heart suddenly stirred. The genuine Xu Changsheng walked out from within the Yunhua Law Seal. Li Si himself instantly teleported away. Shortly after, Herb Gatherer Xia Xiaowan hurriedly appeared. But her appearance in the Mortal Realm wasn’t the Phantom Bride form; she was wearing a black bamboo hat.

She looked normal.

“Eternal Life Real Person, what happened? I seem to smell a familiar scent here. Very dangerous.”

Li Si looked at her for a long time before finally uttering two words.

“Deity and Demon!”

And just these two words caused Xia Xiaowan’s entire body to dissipate in shock. Oh, so you were a mass of mist.
