Qin Siyang saw Li Tianming, and his voice was somewhat choked.
"They say meeting an old friend in a foreign place is a joyful event, but I think it can't compare to meeting you outside the safe zone! Old Li, how did you get here? Did your dog nose sniff me out and chase after me?"
Li Tianming walked over with a smile, "Didn't Chang Tianxiang install a navigation system on your phone? He can also receive your location. When you disappeared here and hadn't returned for several days, he got worried and told me. So, I came out with Zhang Kuang and the others to find you."
"So that's how it is… Old Li, where did you get that flashy purple armor?"
"Lu Daoxing made it. I had him custom-make this purple armor, a fourth-tier item. Not bad, right?"
"Old Li, say no more. From now on, we are brothers in life and death. If I have food to eat, you'll have food to eat."
"Uh… okay!"
Suddenly.
A cold light flashed.
Qin Siyang's short bee dagger swiftly slashed forward, but Li Tianming seemed like an illusion, turning ethereal and dodging.
Qin Siyang's eyes were still brimming with tears of reunion, but they couldn't hide the cold glint in his gaze.
Li Tianming looked puzzled, "Little Qin, what are you doing?"
Qin Siyang wiped away his tears from meeting an old friend and shook his head.
"Stop pretending."
"Seeing Old Li as the first living person here, I was genuinely happy. But I didn't expect it to be an enemy in disguise."
"Little Qin, what nonsense are you talking about? What enemy disguise?"
Qin Siyang sighed in regret, "If you were really Old Li, you would have scolded me at least twice for the way I spoke just now, saying I had no respect for my elders."
"But I used that tone three times, and you didn't react at all. Just answered each time."
"So, you are not Li Tianming."
Li Tianming frowned, "Little Qin, why are you so suspicious! Just because of a few words, you're planning to kill me? Do you know how much effort I put in to find you? In the depths of the outside safe zone, if I am not Li Tianming, who else could I be?"
"I don't know why you're pretending to be Old Li. Most likely, it's to kill me."
After saying that, Qin Siyang gripped his daggers tightly.
Since it was a battle, there was no need for more words.
Qin Siyang had no mood to figure out the reason.
[[Violence] Activated]
Without hesitation, Qin Siyang turned into a blur, lunging toward Li Tianming.
The wind howled behind him.
Li Tianming once again became an illusion, dodging and appearing not far away.
Qin Siyang had anticipated this move. He flipped and kicked, changing direction toward Li Tianming.
No breathing room was given.
But Li Tianming kept turning into an illusion, continuously dodging.
Qin Siyang relentlessly pursued but didn't activate [Banquet Domain] or [God Mimicry] yet.
One, he wanted to test this fake "Li Tianming's" skills and strength.
Two, he needed to get the route back to the safe zone from him.
Seeing Qin Siyang's attacks getting faster, Li Tianming's face gradually showed panic, "Why are you so fast?"
Qin Siyang kept chasing his target, his voice cold, "Your dodging skill can't be used indefinitely. If you don't fight back, you will die."
Li Tianming's lips curled into a cold smile, "Die? Qin Siyang, you think too highly of yourself."
"You want to kill me with those trashy God-Hunting weapons?"
Qin Siyang swung his dagger mercilessly, "Then let me see your true strength."
"Don't waste your effort. Your pure physical attacks can't hurt me."
"Then keep dodging."
Qin Siyang's [Violence] lasted ten minutes, with no cooldown.
He believed that such a complex and powerful dodging skill, combining spatial teleportation and illusion projection, couldn't last longer than his [Violence].
It was probably similar to [Banquet Domain]. Only effective for about a minute.
As for the cooldown, he wasn't sure.
But after chasing for five minutes, the fake Li Tianming was still dodging the same way, not attacking at all.
How come his dodging ability lasted longer than Qin Siyang's [Violence]?
Qin Siyang realized something and swung his dagger while asking, "Is your dodging ability from a God-Hunting weapon?"
"You really are smart."
"You don't want to reveal your sequence, afraid I'll see your trump card?"
"Qin Siyang, I have no intention of killing you. Why don't you stop and listen to my explanation?"
Qin Siyang didn't slow down. Each dagger strike caused a sonic boom, "Someone who doesn't want to kill me wouldn't disguise as Li Tianming to get close to me."
"You really are stubborn."
"Everyone knows Li Tianming and I are close. If someone wants to kill me, disguising as him is the most effective way."
Li Tianming smirked, "Yet, you spotted the flaw immediately. That means you've always been wary of him. Your relationship isn't that close."
"Because we know each other too well, disguising as him is also the easiest way to slip up. You should have attacked me the moment we met. That way, you'd have had a better chance."
"Qin Siyang, why do you assume I must be here to kill you? Can't there be another reason?"
"Say whatever you want. If you don't attack, I'm about to go all out."
Li Tianming looked surprised, "This level of attack isn't going all out? You have more tricks?"
Qin Siyang swallowed a piece of small divine flesh.
[[Banquet Domain] Activated]
In an instant, Qin Siyang vanished before Li Tianming's eyes.
Li Tianming's eyes widened. Before he realized what had happened, Qin Siyang's dagger had already stabbed into his neck, piercing through his throat.
A stench of black blood splattered onto Qin Siyang's face, and he frowned.
'Something feels off.'
Although he had aimed to kill, he hadn't expected to land the hit so cleanly.
He only intended to force out the opponent's trump card.
More importantly, he hadn't yet extracted the route back to the safe zone. How could he have planned to kill him?
But Qin Siyang had no choice.
Li Tianming's purple armor was clearly more advanced than his own red silk armor, probably too tough for a second-tier short bee dagger to penetrate.
His only option was to attack the exposed neck.
Just as Qin Siyang hesitated,
Li Tianming turned into an illusion again, suddenly vanishing and reappearing not far away.
He clutched his throat in pain, coughing out thick black blood.
Seeing this, Qin Siyang's expression darkened.
'Sure enough, this guy is not easy to deal with.'
He glanced at his short bee dagger, now covered in a jelly-like black blood, and frowned.
Li Tianming had said that weapons effective against gods were just as effective against humans.
Yet, a short bee dagger capable of paralyzing even mid-tier gods…
Had no effect on this person.
