Absolute Destiny Game.

Chapter 495 You're fooling me? I'm fooling you! (Bonus chapter for Lazy Sheep's chivalrous act for the Alliance Leader)
"What's the difference? The difference is huge—where did you learn this clone technique? I've never seen such magic before!"

You think you can fool me with these fancy tricks? How laughable!

Listening to Hongchen's words, Xiao Jie made a judgment in his heart. This ancient Qi cultivator valued methods more than techniques. Hongchen had never seen this clone technique before. It seemed that this guy probably didn't have any strong magical skills.

"Hehe, senior is joking. I promised to meet with you after I achieved the Golden Core stage and before I ascended to immortality, to discuss the Great Dao together. Now that we have met, how can you say I am deceiving you?"

This is my avatar, exactly the same as my original self. What difference could there be? Alright, now that I've met you, it's time for me to leave. Senior, is there anything else you wish to teach me? If not, I shall depart.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Hongchen suddenly burst into a ferocious laugh: "You little rascal, you really like to play tricks!"

You think that by using this clone to meet me in your place, you've fulfilled your oath? How laughable! This oath of divine retribution is a contract you made with the Heavenly Dao. You can't fool me, much less the Heavenly Dao.

You must come to me immediately, or you will have no chance of survival after today.

Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. I just want a fellow Daoist to share the Dao with. After you come, I will not only not harm you, but I will also pass on the supreme Dao to you and help you ascend.

You can come and guide me after you ascend to immortality.

Moreover, the Qi refining technique you're practicing is incomplete; it contains traps I've secretly set. Without my instruction, you certainly wouldn't have been able to perfect it, and might even have faced mortal danger.

Xiao Jie switched the view back to his main body and glanced at the status in the upper right corner. Sure enough, the debuff "[Heavenly Tribulation Approaching]" had not disappeared.

What the True Man of the Mortal World said is true; it seems there is no way to cheat the Heavenly Punishment Oath.

"But so what if it is?" Xiao Jie smiled slightly. "Since you're in such a hurry, I naturally don't need to be."

"Hahaha, I think it's you who likes to play tricks. If you really meet the senior, you probably won't have a chance to live."

What about comprehending the Great Dao together, what about helping me ascend, what about the Heavenly Dao Contract? Doesn't it seem a bit late for you to say all this now, senior? Just now, you were clearly preparing to attack me. If I'm not mistaken, you must have wanted to seize my Golden Core so you could ascend on your own.

Unfortunately, I saw through your schemes long ago.

I specifically learned this clone technique to avoid meeting my senior. Now that I have fulfilled my vow and met my senior, how could Heaven punish me?
This is nothing but your threatening talk.

Besides, even if there is punishment, I am not afraid. To tell you the truth, I have accumulated enough demon cores during this period. After meeting with my senior and fulfilling the oath, I can quickly advance my Qi Refining Technique to the tenth level and then ascend to immortality.

Once I achieve immortality, I will have nothing to fear, not even heavenly tribulations. Rest assured, senior, after I ascend to immortality, I will repay your earnest teachings.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Hongchen panicked, thinking to himself, "Is this kid really as stupid as a pig or a donkey? Heaven's will is not so easily fooled. If this guy really ascends, but fails, he will surely be punished by heaven. With the power of the heavenly tribulation, he will surely die and his soul will be destroyed. At that time, this kid will be done with it all, but where will I find my chance to become an immortal?"

He was his last hope.

They even gave the Demon Refining Gourd to the other party.

And if the other party were to actually succeed in ascending to immortality by sheer luck, that would be even more disastrous.

How could True Immortal Hongchen not hear the murderous intent in this brat's words? Wouldn't he then be facing the pursuit of an immortal?

What's worse is that he had nowhere to run and could only wait to die.

Master Hongchen instantly understood the crux of the matter and hurriedly shouted, "Boy, I'm not lying to you. Heaven is merciless. If you don't come to see me and force your ascension, you will surely be struck by heavenly tribulation. At that time, you might not even have your soul left. Don't seek your own death."

Xiao Jie ignored him and walked out on his own.

Hongchen advised again, "How can your little tricks fool the Heavenly Dao? Listen to my advice, come and see me first. At worst, I will come to the cave entrance to meet you. We can just see each other from afar. It's better than being killed by the Heavenly Tribulation."

The voice was urgent and sincere, truly showing genuine emotion.

Xiao Jie thought to himself, "They're taking the bait. Fine, I'll give them a little push."

Xiao Jie suddenly turned around, and just when Hongchen thought he was about to change his mind, he suddenly let out a wild laugh.

"Hahahaha, you old scoundrel, do you really think I'm an idiot? You think you can fool me?"

The more anxious you are, the more it proves I guessed right. Using this clone to see you will also fulfill the oath.

You're afraid I'll come back to take revenge on you after I become an immortal, right? Hahaha, to tell you the truth, you guessed right.

Today I'm calling you "senior" to give you some face, you dying man. I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm currently on the hill south of the Lost Forest outside the mountains. I know you don't dare leave this Konglao Mountain. I'm going to make you watch me ascend to immortality, and then I'll come back and kill you.

"Hahaha, you old scoundrel, you must be feeling desperate right now, but there's nothing you can do. Just stay here and wait to die, hahahahaha!" Xiao Jie laughed wildly, looking like a smug little man who had gotten his way.

After uttering those harsh words, he turned to leave. Having lived for tens of thousands of years, he had never been treated with such humiliation. He was so angry that his face turned red. "You brat, you've really infuriated this old man!"

He appeared behind Xiao Jie in an instant and struck out with a palm, hitting him squarely in the back of the head.
-
335!

"So fast!" Xiao Jie was taken aback. Although the avatar only had two-thirds of the attributes of the original body, given the distance between them, it should have been able to dodge. However, there was no time to dodge at all. This True Man of the Mortal World's speed was truly like a ghost.

Agility must be over 200.

Fortunately, the damage wasn't too high. The powerful strike only dealt less than 400 damage. Although no skill was used, it was still an attack made in anger, yet it still only dealt this much damage. This shows that the physical attack of the Red Dust Sect isn't very high.

"Hahaha, you're getting impatient, you old fool. Come on, come on. I'm a very kind person, so I'll let you, a dying man, slap me a couple of times."

Enraged, Hongchen struck again, this time hitting the clone on the forehead.
-
489 (Vital Strike)!

Finally, the clone was killed.

With the death of his clone, Xiao Jie's perspective instantly switched back to his main body.

"Everyone, get ready, he's coming!"

Everyone immediately entered combat mode.

Xiao Jie prepared for battle, and Dongfang Sheng began to command his men.

"Dragon Soaring 34th Regiment, everyone pay attention, activate buffs, consume pills, and apply spells."

It must be said that Dongfang Sheng led this regiment quite well; at least he commanded it with ease.

In an instant, a burst of talismanic light flashed, and the pills were consumed, along with all sorts of foods that boosted stats.

The forty men were divided into four teams and lined up behind Xiao Jie, ready to join the battle at any time.

However, Xiao Jie did not place his hopes on this group of cannon fodder.

The people you can truly rely on are yourself and your strong teammates.

"Everyone, get ready, the battle is about to begin."

As Xiao Jie spoke, he summoned his avatar again, and then summoned Big Orange as well.

The formation was instantly spread out.

The three front-line fighters stood in the most conspicuous positions, the melee DPS fighters were scattered, and the magic users each found a hidden place to hide.

Xiao Jie stood in the most conspicuous spot in front of the three front-row members, ready to take on the monsters.

Within minutes, a strong wind swept across the flat ground.

As expected, they arrived! Xiao Jie felt a sense of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that this True Man of the Mortal World would never dare to leave the mountain, but it seemed that his provocation earlier had been quite effective.

Then a voice came from the sky.

"Hahahaha, kid, I still fell for your trick after all. As expected, the people that old man Tianxuan found are just as cunning and shameless as him." The voice came from the wind, as if it came from all directions.

Xiao Jie remained calm. “Since Senior Hongchen has come, why not show yourself and have a chat? I can repay your teachings. All you want is my Golden Core, which is inside my dantian. If you want it, just come and take it.”

A whirlwind descended, and Hongchen's figure appeared before Xiao Jie, staring at him with a ferocious expression.

"Boy, setting up such a formation, it seems you've been planning this for a while—"

"Do it!"

Xiao Jie didn't waste any words. His purpose in coming here was to kill Hongchen, settle his karma, and achieve immortality.

The mortal world would certainly want to get rid of him as soon as possible and seize his golden core.

The two have irreconcilable conflicts and there is no possibility of reconciliation. Since that's the case, they should seize every opportunity and take the initiative if they can. Why waste any more words?
