Guo Yuantao hurriedly drew out his knife and blocked it in front of him.
"Qiang!"
The two swords were slashed down, and a harsh clash of gold and iron erupted.
How could Guo Yuantao stop the attack of the two Bronze Skin Realm warriors?
The tiger's mouth of the right hand holding the sword was immediately shattered at this moment, and the whole person was moved back more than ten feet under the sword before the entire force of the blow was released.
"Guo Yuantao, is this your true body?"
Lu Ze sneered: "As long as I kill your body, I think you will really die."
"I have to say that your disguise was really good. People who came to Anyuan County to perform tasks in the past mistakenly thought that you could be reborn after death. They never thought that the dead Guo Yuantao was just a clone created by you."
"Since it is a clone, as long as the main body is still there, there is no such thing as death."
When the man with a ferocious face heard this, his heart sank.
In just a few days, they even knew their own secret.
From this, it can be seen that they have already found his hiding place and saw with their own eyes the way they create clones.
But, how exactly was he exposed?
This puzzled him. In the past few days, since the people from the Zhenwu Division left in a grand manner, he had not gone out to commit any crimes.
Unexpectedly, he just went out to commit a crime today, and the other party was already waiting in his hiding place, waiting for an opportunity.
If the problem of how they know where he is hiding cannot be solved, he will still be visited by the Zhenwu Division in the future.
Guo Yuantao looked at the two of them quietly and said slowly: "How did you find my hiding place?"
His true form is that of a man with all his limbs cut off. Because he has no mouth, the teeth of his upper and lower jaws grind when he opens his mouth, like a living skeleton, which makes people feel cold all over.
"you guess?"
Lu Ze sneered.
"Oh."
Guo Yuantao chuckled and said, "You are looking for me just because of my secret technique of creating clones."
"As long as I die, you won't have the chance to obtain this secret skill."
As he spoke, under the control of Guo Yuantao's mind, the clone carrying him on his back turned the blade and placed it across the main body's neck.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of Lu Ze and Lin Canglan changed.
Neither of them expected that Guo Yuantao could be so cruel.
"Since you have seen me create clones, you two should know that after my body dies, I will really die."
Guo Yuantao sneered: "At that time, all your plans will be in vain with my death."
"I admit that I can't fight you, but you can't stop me from committing suicide!"
When Lu Ze and Lin Canglan heard this, their expressions were a little ugly.
Against all odds, they never expected that Guo Yuantao would threaten them with his own life, but they really didn't dare to act rashly.
Once Guo Yuantao's body dies, the secret technique he possesses that can create clones will be completely buried with him.
Lin Canglan said lightly: "Guo Yuantao, as long as you tell the two of us the secret technique that can create clones, we can let you live. From now on, we will all go half way to the sky, otherwise we will fight to avoid this secret technique tonight.
I will also kill you here."
This was the first time in their lives that they had been threatened with their lives.
But the worst result is to kill Guo Yuantao and then lose the secret skill.
But neither of them wanted to give up until the last moment.
When Guo Yuantao heard this, his eyes flashed, he nodded and said: "It's fair."
"But before that, I'm still very curious about how you two learned about my hiding place."
"Otherwise, even if I hand over the secret technique to you two today, and you two come to visit me again the next day after you get the secret technique, wouldn't I definitely die?"
"If you want me to believe in your sincerity, just tell me first."
Lu Ze and Lin Canglan looked at each other and nodded.
"A few days ago, you went to the black market to buy copper elixirs, and that's when we discovered you." Lin Canglan said lightly.
Going to the black market to buy copper elixirs?
Guo Yuantao couldn't help but look a little stunned.
At this moment, he immediately understood the plan of the two people.
"Oh, what a good plan."
Guo Yuantao recalled what happened in the black market and said with a smile: "You two deliberately bought all the copper elixirs in the city, and then set up a stall to sell the copper elixirs in the black market, just waiting for me to take the bait."
"I have to say that this is indeed a wonderful move that makes people hard to guard against. Guo admires it!"
He thought of many ways to expose himself, and even abandoned the clone directly when encountering an enemy, and would not let it return home again.
Unexpectedly, the reason why he was exposed was not because of the battle, but because he went out to buy pills.
However, one learns from mistakes, and once one understands the reasons for being exposed, he will naturally strengthen his defenses in this regard in the future.
People are not afraid of making mistakes, but they are afraid of making the same mistake again next time!
Lu Ze stared at him closely and said calmly: "Now it's time to hand over the secret technique in your hand that can create clones."
"What's the rush?"
Guo Yuantao chuckled and said: "Aren't you curious why I became like this and how I obtained this secret technique?"
"Anyway, Guo is no match for you two now. Can he still get wings and fly?"
Lu Ze and Lin Canglan couldn't help but look at each other again, and then nodded slightly.
Seeing that the two of them were motionless, Guo Yuantao's eyes flickered and he said slowly: "I grew up in Anyuan County since I was born."
"As the saying goes, you rely on mountains to eat and water to eat. What Anyuan County relies on is the endless forest of magical mist behind it."
"In order to earn more money, my parents went deep into the Demonic Mist Forest to collect medicine, and finally died tragically at the mouths of monsters."
"It stands to reason that it is impossible for a poor man like me to become a warrior. I don't even have the money to improve my health, but God is so good at making jokes."
"Once, the Li family, the richest in Anyuan County, teamed up with various wealthy families to jointly release the news. They would hire warriors and let the people in the city accompany them to collect medicinal herbs. They only need to pay 10% of the collected medicinal herbs as a reward."
"When I heard the news, I was overjoyed and went with him."
"But I never expected that those rich families didn't want to take everyone to collect medicinal herbs, but because they didn't want to go deep into the Demonic Mist Forest and provoke those powerful monsters."
"For this reason, warriors will use people as bait to attract monsters from deep in the forest."
"On that trip, I collected a lot of medicinal herbs, worth at least a hundred taels of silver. Just when I thought I wouldn't be hungry for a long time, something unexpected happened."
"A group of golden-backed wolves jumped out and killed all the people who were gathering medicinal materials, and then ate them."
"Those warriors hid in the distance and shot the golden-backed wolf with homemade crossbows."
"I don't know if I'm lucky or not. The skin on my face was torn off. My hands and feet were just bitten off by the golden-backed wolves. Those golden-backed wolves were all shot by those warriors."
"I was lucky enough to survive, but those people didn't care about me and let me fend for myself in the forest."
"I just rubbed my head against the ground and kept crawling and crawling. Finally, I climbed to a cliff."
"For a person without arms and legs, I had almost no chance of surviving alone in the Demonic Mist Forest. In order not to be bitten to death by the demonic beast, I jumped down."
"But I was lucky. I didn't die. I accidentally entered an ancient warrior's tomb under the cliff, and obtained a secret technique that allowed me to create a clone. With the help of this secret technique, I successfully survived."
"After I returned to the city, I began to use this secret technique to create clones to collect resources and quickly improve my cultivation. I secretly swore that I would kill all the rich families who cheated me.
"
"Hehe, as of today, I have slaughtered only five families of those people."
Lin Canglan and Lu Ze were secretly speechless after hearing this.
This is true to the old saying, if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later.
It is indeed not an easy thing for an ordinary person to enter the monster forest, only to have his limbs bitten off, and then survive.
"Now that you have finished saying what you need to say, it's time to hand over this secret technique."
Lu Ze said calmly: "Our patience is limited. The worst result is to kill you and then lose this secret method."
"You still have unfinished revenge, and you don't want to die like this, right?"
"hey-hey."
Guo Yuantao Jiejie said with a wicked smile: "Yes, I still haven't avenged my revenge, how could I die like this?"
"Is it just that I haven't avenged my revenge? I can't give you this secret skill. Otherwise, how can I take revenge?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he bit the tip of his tongue and a mouthful of scarlet blood spurted out.
The blood quickly transformed into a human form, until it turned into a clone of Guo Yuantao again.
Seeing this scene, Lin Canglan and Lu Ze's expressions suddenly became extremely ugly.
At this point, how could the two of them not understand that Guo Yuantao was deliberately delaying time.
"Your people did imprison me in the iron warriors."
Looking at the two of them, Guo Yuantao sneered: "And I delayed it for so long on purpose because I was waiting for the clone trapped in the iron figurine to bleed to death."
After hearing this sentence, Lu Ze and Lin Canglan suddenly became extremely ugly.
At the same time, the two people immediately realized that Lin Canglan's maximum limit was to create two clones?
"Guo Yuantao, since you are so stubborn, don't blame us for being rude."
After Lu Ze finished speaking, he looked at Lin Canglan and said, "Brother Lin, you and I will each deal with one person!"
Immediately, the two men no longer hesitated and rushed forward with their swords in hand.
When Guo Yuantao saw this, he sneered in his heart.
He finally dragged the clone trapped in the iron figurine to death in order to create a chance for himself to escape.
The clone he had just created rushed out and stopped in front of the two of them without fear of death. Then the other clone carrying the main body on its back had already retreated crazily and headed straight for the outside of the city.
Now that his hiding place has been discovered, he does not plan to stay in Anyuan County, but rushes directly to other states to avoid the limelight.
Seeing Guo Yuantao running away, Lu Ze and Lin Canglan's expressions changed, and then they said in unison:
"Brother Lin, stop him"
"Brother Lu, block his clone."
Lu Ze: "."
Lin Canglan: "."
Both of them want to pursue the original body and obtain the secret technique that allows people to create clones with the same cultivation level as the original body.
He didn't want to get entangled with a clone here, but with just such a moment of hesitation, Guo Yuantao's clone was already carrying the main body dozens of feet away, and was about to disappear into the night.
And here again, Guo Yuantao's clone was restraining the two of them without fear of death, and the faces of Lu Ze and Lin Canglan became even more livid.
When the two men successfully killed the clone, they headed straight for Guo Yuantao's disappearance.
Another clone of Guo Yuantao blocked the way.
"Have you two forgotten? As long as my clone dies, can I create a new clone?"
"Now my body is about to leave the city. There are three fast horses outside the city that I have arranged for a long time ago. When the sun rises tomorrow, I will no longer be in Jingzhou."
Guo Yuantao faced the fierce attacks of the two men without any panic. Instead, he chuckled and said, "I have to say that Guo almost fell into the gutter tonight. We will see you later."
At the same time, in a courtyard outside Anyuan County, Guo Yuantao's clone was carrying the main body on his back and was leading three fast horses.
"Lu Ze, Lin Canglan, I have to say that you two are indeed talented people. I really almost missed it tonight."
"It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to bring the Yuan Jing I accumulated because I was in a hurry."
"But as long as my life is alive, money is something external to me."
"Drive~"
Guo Yuantao's avatar got on the horse, and the main body, which was wrapped with a cloth on its back, turned to look at Anyuan County for the last time, and then prepared to ride away from the place of right and wrong.
"Guo Yuantao, do you want to leave?"
Suddenly, a faint voice came from far away.
When the first word of this sentence sounded, it seemed that there was still some distance between Guo Yuantao.
But when the last word rang out, it almost reached Guo Yuantao's ear.
Guo Yuantao's expression changed drastically, and he turned his head and looked back in disbelief.
After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, Guo Yuantao's pupils shrank suddenly and he said in a voiceless voice: "It's you!!!"
The young man in front of me has an unusually handsome face, a slender figure, and is wearing a smart suit.
He remembered that he was a Zhenwu Guard under Lu Ze and Lin Canglan.
Because the other party's extremely handsome appearance made him, who had been disfigured by the golden-backed wolf, extremely impressed.
Now that he saw him outside the city, Guo Yuantao's heart was in his throat.
The strength displayed by the other party at this moment does not seem to be limited to the body refining realm!
The opponent's speed was so fast that he followed him like a shadow, even a few minutes faster than the galloping horse.
"So this is your true body."
Su Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised. Without giving the clone any chance to react, his right fist suddenly came out and struck Guo Yuantao's shoulder slowly but really quickly.
"Cunyan!"
A surge of energy surged into his body, but went straight to Guo Yuantao's Dantian.
"Bang!"
As a subtle sound rang out from within his body, Guo Yuantao's face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"you"
Guo Yuantao had a look of fear on his face and looked at Su Yu with despair.
The light punch just now was clearly imprinted on his shoulder, but the force was transmitted to his Dantian and shattered it.
In an instant, he had fallen from a copper-skin realm warrior to a mortal again.
The martial artist he met outside the animal trap had already taught Su Yu a vivid lesson.
If it is not necessary to kill the opponent, the best way is undoubtedly to crush the opponent's Dantian and reduce him to a useless person.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yu punched out again, hitting Guo Yuantao's clone's forehead directly, and the force poured in and shattered his brain.
Su Yu kicked the clone that had become a corpse off the horse, then caught Guo Yuantao's body and sat on the horse, quickly disappearing into the night.
Since the two martial arts warriors decided to guard the iron warriors, the six teams went back to rest.
After Su Yu returned to the inn room, he immediately looked for an opportunity to come out and looked for traces of the ongoing battle in the city.
The sound of gold and iron clashing in the distance attracted his attention. He used the Immortal Step to follow quietly and listened to the entire conversation between the two parties.
It wasn't until Guo Yuantao was about to run that he seized the opportunity and followed him.
Now taking control of Guo Yuantao, he rode his horse all the way to dozens of miles away before finally stopping.
"Tell me, what did you get from that ancient tomb after you jumped off the cliff?"
Su Yu threw Guo Yuantao to the ground casually and said calmly: "I don't have much time, you'd better be wiser."
This guy's limbs were severed, and now his Dantian was shattered by Su Yu. He was completely a useless person and could no longer make any waves.
Guo Yuantao's eyes were blank and he murmured: "Just kill me, I won't say anything."
I thought I was about to escape, but I didn't expect that there was someone hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel deep regret.
If I were more cautious and would change places to commit crimes every time I committed a crime, wouldn't I have faced the end like this?
Unfortunately, it's already too late.
He had no means to make himself infinitely free, but in the end he was defeated by carelessness.
"Can't say anything?"
Su Yu raised the corner of his mouth, took out a jade bottle from his arms, and said calmly: "This jade bottle contains marrow-eating leeches. You don't want to suffer some torture before you die, do you?"
"Before, you could withstand the torture of marrow-eating leeches because they were clones."
"Do you still want to have a taste of that night?"
Naturally, there are no marrow-eating leeches in this jade bottle, but for now, we can only rely on marrow-eating leeches to deceive this guy.
When he heard the words marrow-eating leech, Guo Yuantao's expression suddenly changed.
He also felt the same way about everything the clone suffered. He would rather die immediately than be tortured by marrow-eating leeches again.
And this time, he is the one who bears all this.
"Don't!"
When he saw Su Yuqi uncork the bottle and put it into his mouth, Guo Yuantao finally gave in.
Anyway, he was going to die anyway, and he didn't want to suffer the pain of marrow-eating leeches all over again.
Guo Yuantao's thoughts returned to that day, and he slowly said: "I jumped off the cliff, but survived the catastrophe, and found an ancient tomb. In that ancient tomb, everything had been corrupted, and there was only a jade skeleton.
It has not decayed for ten thousand years, and in his hand is a jade pendant."
"Jade pendant?"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and an unbelievable thought came to his mind.
"Where is that jade pendant now?" Su Yu asked anxiously.
Guo Yuantao did not answer his question, but continued: "That jade pendant was very sharp. My hands and feet were severed, so I wanted to forcefully swallow the jade pendant and then cut my throat with this jade pendant."
"But I never expected that after I ate this jade pendant, the blood flowing out of my mouth would actually transform into two people exactly like me."
"They follow my will and can even be said to be me! Through these two complete avatars, I can do everything I want as a normal person with sound limbs."
After listening to Guo Yuantao's explanation, Su Yu felt huge waves in his heart.
"You mean, this jade pendant is inside your body now?" Su Yu said lightly.
"good."
Guo Yuantao nodded and said: "Now that my Dantian is broken, there is no point in living in this world."
"Because of this jade pendant, I did many bad things and avenged myself. Although I couldn't kill all my enemies, I died without regrets."
Speaking of this, Guo Yuantao glanced at Su Yu and said calmly: "I didn't lie to you in anything I just said."
"I have one last condition now."
Su Yudao: "What conditions?"
"When I die, please find a place on higher ground to bury me."
Su Yu nodded and said, "Okay."
Then he changed the topic and said: "But you still have to tell me the disadvantages of using this jade pendant."
He didn't believe that this jade pendant could be so magical.
It is impossible to have such terrifying power without paying any price.
If his guess is correct, the jade pendant Guo Yuantao obtained is one of the legendary nine pieces of Tiandao jade!
He would never have thought that he would be lucky enough to get a piece of Tiandao Jade!
Hearing Su Yu's words, Guo Yuantao couldn't help but reveal an ugly smile, and took a deep look at Su Yu.
"You are very smart. If you didn't ask, I really wouldn't have thought of telling you the disadvantages of using this jade pendant."
Guo Yuantao looked up at the stars in the sky and murmured: "I originally wanted to use this jade pendant to climb to the highest place, but I was too arrogant and thought that with this jade pendant, I could have what I wanted.
Everything, but I forgot that when everything is too easy to obtain, a person's heart will gradually be blinded."
"When I first got this jade pendant, I never thought about doing bad things. I just thought about using it to make me a normal person again."
"But when I used this jade pendant for the first time to kidnap a girl I liked into my residence, I couldn't control it anymore, and my dependence on it became deeper and deeper."
"In my opinion, this should be its first drawback. The more you use it, the deeper your dependence on it will become, and eventually you will be corrupted by it and lose your conscience."
"I am only twenty years old this year. Look at my face and these gray hairs. Who would have thought that I am only twenty years old this year?"
"According to my guess, this is its second disadvantage. Every time it is used, it will shorten one's life span."
I don't need to be afraid of this.
Su Yu cursed in his heart.
As for what Guo Yuantao said, the more you use it, the more it will corrode you.
Su Yu has never had such an idea. This thing must be used at critical moments.
If someone like Guo Yuantao uses his clones frequently, it will be a waste of resources, and he will be targeted sooner or later.
Especially since Lu Ze and Lin Canglan have participated in this case, he will be more careful when using this thing.
However, Su Yu was relieved when he thought that this guy didn't even have any hands or feet.
He doesn't use Tiandao Jade to transform into a clone, and even movement is a problem.
"Another point is that when I first entered the body refining realm, the clones I created could only appear within ten miles of my body. When I advanced to the bronze skin realm, the clones could appear within twenty miles.
"
"According to my guess, the higher the cultivation level, the wider the range where the clone can leave the main body."
When Su Yu heard this, he immediately understood why Guo Yuantao suddenly disappeared into the iron warriors during the first interrogation by Lu Ze and Lin Canglan.
It is estimated that another clone carried the main body and walked twenty miles away, and then the clone that was imprisoned in an iron figurine in the county government disappeared due to the distance.
"Each time you transform into a clone, it can only appear for twelve hours. After twelve hours, it will disappear and you need to create it again. The way to create a clone is to use your own blood."
