A small setback

  "Aren't you wondering now what I am after seeing me like this?" Luo Jie saw the fleeting doubt on Guan Yu's face and asked with a big laugh.

  Guan Yu nodded, he was indeed very curious, even Wu Shen had already died, how could Luo Jie and the other two possibly survive?!

  "In fact, I am now a shadow, only placed in a place where time can be preserved for a longer period. Probably after another hundred years or so, this shadow of mine will also disperse." Luo Jie smiled and said.

  "Shadow?" Guan Yu asked in confusion.

  "Hmm, in your era, I'm afraid not many people understand what a shadow is. A shadow is actually a split body formed by the fusion of Xian Qi and martial arts spirit, possessing all the martial arts spirit of the original body, so it possesses about one-third of the strength of the original body!" Luo Jie said with a smile.

  Guan Yu nodded slightly, roughly understanding Luo Jie's meaning.

  "Alright, let's go in!" Luo Jie pointed at the wooden hut by the sea and said with a smile.

  As she walked into the wooden house, Guan Yu was slightly surprised, unexpectedly simple, with only one table and a wooden bed beside it, without any extra things.

  "You sit first, I'll get that thing out!" Luo Jie said, and immediately squatted down to pull out a box from under the wooden bed.

  He opened the box and found that it was filled with wine bottles. The aroma emitted by these wine bottles was obviously extraordinary.

  "Found it!" Luo Jie suddenly said with a smile, holding a small white jade bottle and walking over to put it in front of Guan Yu.

  "Senior, what is this...?"

  "This is the [Indestructible Pill], I've collected countless medicinal materials and only refined two of them. Originally, this one... never mind, now it's yours. After eating it, your body will undergo changes, and with each subsequent blow, your defense will gradually increase until you become invincible!" Luo Jie said.

  "Senior, this thing is too valuable!" Guan Yu exclaimed in surprise.

  Just by listening to him, I understand that the Wan Jie Bu Mie Dan is a freak among freaks, and it's the only one of its kind. It's absolutely precious to the extreme.

  "Just take it if you want it. If you don't use it again, it'll probably expire in a few years anyway." Luo Jie said with a smile.

  Guan Yu had no choice but to accept it, and he was indeed very moved by the gift. Just now, he was only shocked by the preciousness of the elixir, not refusing it.

  "That's right! Young people should be bold!" Luo Jie laughed loudly, and then took out a wine jug to let Guan Yu drink a few mouthfuls of the super-old wine from ancient times.

  Don't think these things are illusory, they are all real objects, all of which existed in this place before Luo Jia's death!

  Guan Yu was dazed and confused, and then he heard Luo Jia muttering: "That little girl actually passed."

  "Lin Yiyi?" Guan Yu suddenly became much clearer and hastily asked.

  Luo Jie nodded and said, "Yes, that little girl actually defeated my clone."

  "Senior, it seems that junior also has to bid farewell!" Guan Yu hastily stood up and said, but immediately afterwards, he sat down on the ground with a twisted butt.

  Luo Jie looked at him and burst out laughing: "Your drinking capacity is really something! Forget it, I'll just send you off instead!"

  He waved his hand, and a white airflow appeared. The next moment he suddenly retreated, sat on the ground with a thud, opened his eyes to look, and found himself in front of Luo Jie's statue, and surprisingly, he really fell down.

  "Are you okay?" Lin Yiy's voice rang out, and Guan Yu looked over to find that he was indeed a bit dizzy, Lin Yiy had actually split into two, unexpectedly getting drunk in the midst of reality and illusion.

  Guan Yu fell to the ground and said: "I'm fine, I just drank too much!"

  "Haha, he must have been forced to drink by that little rascal Luo Jie." A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the crowd.

  Guan Yu looked around and found that Xing Xingmo and Dongfang Bai were nowhere to be seen, so he asked a group of people: "Where are Xing Xingmo and Dongfang Bai?"

  "Xī Xīng Mó defeated Liǔ Zhāi and then entered the Wǔ Shén Space. Dōng Fāng Bái and the others passed the test even faster than you, they all caught up." Yī Tuán Qì said immediately.

  Lin Yiyi frowned and said: "Then let's hurry up and follow them!"

  "You go ahead, I'll take a break!" Guan Yu said helplessly. The wine was too potent and at this moment he only felt his brain was dizzy and heavy, with a real sense of intoxication.

  Lin Yiyi looked at Guan Yu, feeling that she had been holding back her anger for a long time. She thought to herself, "When did he become drunk? It's only now that he's showing up drunk." The thought of the treasure of the Martial God being divided among the likes of Xixingmo and Dongfangbai made her so angry that she was about to burst into flames, feeling anxious and uneasy.

  "Then you lie here for a while, I'll go first!" Lin Yiyi said immediately.

  Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "Mm, you go first, I'll catch up with you in a moment!"

  In the end, Lin Yiyi left with a group of gas first, as for why to bring a group of gas, it was a group of gas color wolf nature outbreak, decisively gave up Guan Yu chose beauty.

  Guan Yu lay there for a while, finally feeling that his brain was no longer so dizzy. He smiled slightly and opened his right hand, only to see the small jade bottle of Wan Jie Bu Mie Dan in his palm.

  He sat up and opened the bottle, immediately pouring out a black pill, which emitted an extremely pungent smell.

  "Could it have expired already?" Guan Yu wrinkled his brow upon smelling the odor and immediately checked the attributes:

  ————————

  Eternal Annihilation Pill

  Only

  Divine Gift Elixir

  After consumption, permanently increase defense by 100, increase thunder resistance by 100, and after each attack, increase defense by a percentage equivalent to the damage received.

  Additional Skill: Indestructible Body, increases defense by 150% for 30 minutes after use, cooldown of 1 hour.

  ————————

  He felt relieved after checking the attributes, it should not have expired yet, and as a divine food, it was indeed worthy of its reputation. Although it couldn't make him extremely powerful in a short period of time, its potential was terrifyingly great. Given enough time, his defense might even surpass that of the Emperor!

  That's the benefit of duplicates, if you dig carefully, what you get is far beyond the rewards given by the task.

  However, not everyone can have such good treatment. If he hadn't taken Gong Nanbai as his master, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to learn the "Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture". If he couldn't learn the "Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture", then he wouldn't have received the guidance of the six paths, and similarly, he wouldn't have caught Luo Jie's attention. These rewards were all triggered because at that time, he refused to kneel down to that insignificant statue.

  For ordinary people, in order to complete the task, they would probably choose to kneel down immediately, and even a proud guy like Yù Dì is no exception.

  Guan Yu was deeply moved at this moment, and immediately swallowed the Wan Jie Bu Mie Dan. In an instant, he felt his whole body start to burn with heat, and the pain was even more intense than when he obtained the Wu Shen Zhi Yan. His body began to sweat black water due to the high temperature, and the sweat evaporated quickly, gradually forming a layer of black grime on his skin.

  He wasn't worried about this, after all, he had seen a lot of it, and this was just the aftermath of shaving and washing his hair!

  However, the time it took to wash and cut his hair was shorter than he had expected. In just ten minutes, he had finished washing and cutting his hair, and he felt much lighter overall. When he opened up his attributes, he saw that all of them had been boosted to some extent, but what was even more frightening was that his defense had increased by a hundred out of thin air!

  He looked around and made sure no one was there before stripping off his clothes. He took out a bucket of water from his backpack and started washing up.

  After washing up and changing into a new set of clothes, he looked towards the wooden statue of Liu Zhai.

  Although the treasure of the Martial God excited him, he was also unwilling to give up the treasure in front of him!

  And Wu Shen probably won't let Dongfangbai and others get the treasure so easily either.

  He walked up to the carved statue of Liu Zhai, and the next moment his hand was on it. The scene in front of him changed, and he appeared on a high plateau.

  "Hmm? You actually passed the trials of Liu Dao and Luo Jie, your aura is mixed with the auras of Liu Dao and Luo Jie, it's surprising that both Liu Dao and Luo Jie hold you in such high regard." A robust old man with a shaved head, holding a walking stick, quickly came over from the palace on the high plain, and then looked at Guan Yu closely.

  At Liu Zhai's observation of Guan Yu, in fact, Guan Yu was also observing Liu Zhai.

  Liu Zhai is taller than Biro and Liu Dao, at least 1.9 meters tall by visual estimation. He only wore a pair of white tube pants, with his upper body completely exposed and covered in various scars, looking terrifying at first glance.

  "Junior has seen Senior Liu." Guan Yu smiled and bowed.

  Liu Zhai nodded and said, "Don't be too nervous, since you've decided to come see me, you must have already made up your mind to fight. If you perform well, I'll naturally give you some guidance."

  "Understood!" Guan Yu nodded and instantly created a Flame Sword.

  Liu Zhai was also taken aback by Huo Jian's flame sword for a moment, then smiled and said, "Not bad control!"

  He picked up his staff, and it turned out to be a sword.

  "This sword is called Senro, and it lives up to its name, so be careful!" said Liu Zhai.

  Suddenly he thrust out a sword, and Sen Luo quickly stretched out, instantly stabbing towards Guan Yu's throat!

  "Whoa!" Guan Yu's heart skipped a beat as his body immediately formed an Iron Bridge stance to avoid the fatal blow.

  He immediately fell to the ground and rolled violently. Liu Zhai happened to chop down his sword, and if Guan Yu was a step slower, he would have been cut in half directly.

  "Spring Snake!!" Guan Yu shouted in a low voice, immediately pointing his fire sword at Liu Zhi.

  In an instant, the fire sword in his hand split rapidly, like the branches of a tree in spring, and also like a winding poisonous snake!

  "Not bad change technique!" Liu Zhai said as he looked at it, but the Sen Luo in his hand had already begun to transform and suddenly became transparent.

  In the blink of an eye, all the fire snakes were cut off at the waist, and then Guan Yu's leg was cut off, but there was no blood.

  "Let's stop here!" said Liu Zhai faintly, and the next moment Sen Luo appeared in shape, right in front of Guan Yu's neck, and it was not straight, but curved and winding, looking more like a snake.

  Guan Yu struggled to get up and smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

  At this point, he figured out why the group of Qi said that Liu Zhai could be safe and sound under the attack of Luo Jie and Liu Dao, because it was indeed very strong, unexpectedly strong.

  "It's not that I'm trying to lecture you, it's just your nature, which I don't like very much. And I don't have anything to give you anyway, after all, what I hold in my hand is not the real Sen Luo. You can leave now." Liu Zhai turned around and thought about going to the mountains on the highlands.

  Guan Yu slightly bowed and left this space the next moment.
