Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 971 Lure the snake out of its hole

"It turns out to be just a clone. This is consistent with Liu Dao's cunning character. In this case, we must not act rashly."

Mo Juren thought so and secretly conveyed a message to Xu Qingcheng beside him. The latter was a little surprised after hearing it. After all, with her spiritual sense, she couldn't see anything unusual.

"You two fellow Taoists are quite powerful. You should be cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. Could you tell us your origins?" After the six clones appeared, they did not take action immediately. They first signaled the man in black to stop attacking, and then asked with a kind face.

  "I'm just a casual cultivator, there's nothing to say." Mo Juren's expression was cold and he looked extremely uncooperative. Such an attitude immediately made Liu Dao feel a little angry.

"I am quite familiar with the many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Star Sea. I dare not say that I know all of them, but I know most of them. You two should be a couple. You look unfamiliar, so I think you are undoubtedly independent cultivators.

I am not afraid to tell you two that you have come here today and have seen me again. It is impossible for you to leave. It just so happens that I am in need of people. If you two are willing to submit, then the previous offense can be forgiven. "

Liudao's seemingly plain words contained an undisguised threat. At the same time, his mind moved, and suddenly, waves of obscure fluctuations came from the deep sea again, and figures emerged one after another.

These fluctuations were not concealed, so naturally they could not be hidden from Mo Juren's perception. However, he remained calm from beginning to end, but there was a hint of something strange in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

As for Xu Qingcheng, knowing her true strength, she would not be worried at all. On the contrary, she was looking forward to what the other party would do next.

"Why do you want us to surrender?" Mo Juren looked at the other party provocatively and asked again.

"A man of insight is a hero. Fellow Taoists, you don't think you can escape with your Nascent Soul stage strength?" The six clones smiled coldly, but a majestic aura suddenly burst out from their bodies.

“Middle Nascent Soul Stage. I now understand why you are so confident. However, if that’s all, it may not be enough to make me surrender.” Mo Juren snorted coldly, and in an instant a surge of spiritual power burst out, also in the middle Nascent Soul Stage.

Seeing this scene, Liudao narrowed his eyes immediately. He didn't expect that this person could hide so deeply. He admitted that he had underestimated the other party. Besides, the old woman might also have such cultivation.

No wonder he was not harmed at all when besieged by a group of Jindan stage cultivators before, and even with the addition of a Yuanying early stage strongman, he was still unable to defeat them. It turns out that he has enough strength.

If two mid-Nascent Soul stage warriors just run away, it would take some effort to keep them here.

After all, it is easy to defeat but difficult to kill. At this level, the life-saving trump card is unpredictable. Even if more than a dozen demonized Nascent Souls attack together, it may not be foolproof.

Of course, if his real body also took action personally, it would be a different matter.

"Actually, it's not impossible for you to have the two of us surrender, but one condition needs to be met." Just as Liudao was thinking about whether to send out his main body directly or let the dozen or so demonized Nascent Soul cultivators deep in the sea take action first, he suddenly heard these words and stopped his actions.

What he said just now was not empty talk. Now was indeed the time to use manpower, and he really wanted to subdue these two people. Two mid-Nascent Soul stage powerhouses were definitely capable subordinates.

It would be best if he could avoid taking action. After all, he was planning to use a semi-demonic method to control the opponent. If he was forced into a corner, the opponent would either self-destruct or refuse to cooperate, and he would not be able to achieve his wish in the end.

"Conditions? Tell me about it?" The Six Paths clone also showed some curiosity and asked with a smile.

"It's very simple. In the cultivation world, strength is respected. I am not opposed to submitting to the strong. But the premise is that you really have enough strength. Let's fight directly. As long as you can defeat me, I will naturally be convinced." Having said this, Mo Juren suddenly paused, and then changed the subject.

“There is one thing I need to remind you of. I hate two-faced people and those who go back on their words the most. If you agree to compete, then show your true strength. Even if you lose, I will have no complaints and will be willing to be commanded by you in the future.

If you are taking advantage of others, I will not admit it. Also, before the duel, you must swear with your heart of Taoism that you only have one chance, and you must keep your promise regardless of whether you win or lose, and let the two of us go."

"Fight?" Liu Dao was stunned for a moment. He thought it was some kind of difficult condition, but it turned out to be just this?

He also roughly guessed what the other party was thinking, which was to fight and abide by the oath to fight for a chance of survival. After all, this was the most appropriate choice.

According to his plan, no matter whether they fight or not today, no matter who wins or loses in the end, he will not let the other party leave.

However, since the other party mentioned the competition, and I am absolutely sure of it, there is nothing wrong with satisfying his request. This will also make him truly loyal.

The opponent was not aware of the real situation and thought that what he saw was all there was to him. Little did he know that it was just a clone, and it would not be considered a violation of the rules for him to send out his real body immediately after the competition began.

As for this clone, although it can also exert the strength of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, theoretically it has a great chance of winning.

But it is just a theory after all. The other party mentioned that they will only fight once, so we can't be careless. Only by sending out the real body can we ensure that there will be no mistakes.

After some thought, he did not hesitate any longer and immediately laughed and said:

"I have agreed to this matter. As for the Dao Heart Oath, isn't it a bit unfair for me to be the only one to take it? Shouldn't the two Daoists be an exception? What if you fail later and regret not taking it?"

"Of course I can swear. Besides, if we really lose, with your strength and the dozen or so fellow Taoists in the Nascent Soul stage under the sea, it seems unlikely that the two of us will be able to leave." Mo Juren smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to think too much. I am only doing this to be on the safe side. You can rest assured. Since I have promised, I will not break my promise. I also swear on my heart that I will have a competition with you later..."

Having said that, he immediately swore an oath, but deliberately did not mention his name. He even used the first person to blur the distinction between the clone and the original body. After all, the two are one and the same, so there is nothing wrong with that.

Mo Juren naturally understood the other party's plan. Instead of getting angry, he sneered in his heart. This old guy was completely too clever and fell into his trap.

This should also be related to his previous arrangements. After all, the other party would never have thought that he would come in person in disguise, right? And the other "self" was staying in Black Stone City at the moment, under the surveillance of the demons, and he would definitely not be able to hide it from the other party.

Soon, he and Xu Qingcheng also swore that they would willingly submit to each other if they were defeated, but they also did not mention their names and spoke in the first person.

This is normal and will not alert the other party.

After the oath was completed, not only Mo Juren was happy, Liu Dao was also overjoyed. In his opinion, after the oath, the matter was settled. Then he moved his mind, and several breaths appeared again in the depths of the sea, and then shot towards the sea surface.

However, within a breath of time, five figures appeared. Although the leader also looked like a middle-aged man, Mo Juren could not hide his identity. It was undoubtedly Liu Dao.

In addition, there were four stunningly beautiful women following behind him, who were none other than the four holy ladies of the half-demon clan, including Miaoru.

The moment she saw the four people, Xu Qingcheng almost lost her composure due to excitement. Fortunately, she had strong self-control and managed to hold herself back without showing any abnormality.

  "You guys!" Seeing the middle-aged man who looked exactly like his clone but had a much stronger aura, Mo Juren's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he looked extremely shocked. After being surprised, his expression turned cold and he asked directly,

"What does this mean, fellow Taoist?"

"I am just a clone, and this is the real body. Since we want to fight fairly, it is natural for the real body to be dispatched. In other words, using a clone is a complete insult to you, while using the real body is the real respect. There should be no problem with saying this, right?" Liudao was very satisfied with the other party's performance, which was all within his expectations. At this moment, he was confident, smiling, and his words showed that he was considering the other party.

"Respect? Are you kidding? You clearly took advantage of the loophole in our oath to deceive me. What respect can you talk about? Besides, your true form is already a great cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage. How could I possibly defeat you?" Mo Juren looked extremely angry, which made Xu Qingcheng beside him stunned.

  Is this guy probably addicted to acting?

Liudao is also unlucky. He has been teased once during the last decisive battle in the Inland Sea, and now he has to go through it again. I wonder if he will be so angry that he dies after he understands everything?

"You and I have already sworn an oath. What's the point of saying this now? Of course, I really want to subdue the two of you. The fight is just a situation. I don't care. Why don't you just surrender and avoid a war?" Liudao still laughed and persuaded again.

"Things have come to this, and I have to accept my fate. However, this duel cannot be cancelled. It so happens that I have never practiced with a late Nascent Soul stage expert before. This is a rare opportunity. I hope fellow Daoist can help me." Mo Juren snorted coldly, but his expression was a little more respectful.

"I see. It was I who was negligent. Yes, sparring with stronger opponents will indeed help your own growth. I agree to this." Liudao naturally felt the change in the other party's attitude. He became more and more happy and laughed out loud.

"Thank you."

As soon as Mo Juren finished speaking, he flew out of the protection range of the golden bell, threw the red dragon staff in his hand directly into the air, and muttered something.

The next moment, the red dragon staff emitted a bright red light, and in an instant it turned into a red dragon that was over ten feet long, circling in the air, with bursts of dragon roars resounding through the sky.

"What a baby!" Seeing this scene, Liudao immediately exclaimed in admiration, thinking that he had made the right decision this time, and this man's excellence was far more outstanding than he had expected.

He thought the other person was equally good, which made him a little confused. This couple possessed such powerful strength, but he, the former leader of the magic world, had never heard of them?

This is too obscure, could it be that they are two people who like to live in seclusion? Although there are not many such people, there are many in both the inner sea and the outer sea. This is the only possibility, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from him.

While he was thinking, a red dragon was already roaring towards him.

He didn't care about this at all. He waved his sleeves suddenly, and a black light shot out in an instant, growing in the wind like a spirit snake, and directly entangled the red dragon.

The black light contained a strong demonic energy, and its power was no less than that of the red dragon. In just a moment, it even began to gain the upper hand.

"Magic weapon!" Mo Juren finally saw clearly what the black light was. It looked like a chain, but it was the famous magic weapon.

I didn't expect that just a simple test would actually give me a big surprise.

You must know that magic weapons are treasures that can only be used by demons. Even among human cultivators who are demon cultivators, it is impossible for them to wield them freely and they will suffer the backlash of magic weapons.

However, Liudao at this moment did not show any discomfort at all, instead he was able to control it with ease.

Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that a lot of things had happened to the other party during this period of time. Not only was he able to control the magic weapon freely without being backlashed, but even the magic power he exerted was full of demonic nature.

At this time, the red dragon was completely at a disadvantage, and he could clearly sense that the spirituality of the dragon staff had begun to become dull, obviously corroded by demonic energy.

He didn't care about this at all. It was just a mid-grade ancient treasure. It didn't matter if it was lost. He even directly used some magic formula to activate the treasure at all costs. In an instant, the red dragon was quickly covered by flames, and its ferocity increased by three points.

"It's useless!" Liudao just chuckled when he saw this. The magic weapon he was wielding was called 'Heavenly Demon Chain', which was originally hidden in that ancient ruins and was later found by his master and given to him.

Not only the Heavenly Demon Chain, but also two other magic weapons were found. These were used by high-level demons during the ancient demon invasion, and they were brought over from the Holy Realm. Both their quality and power were far beyond the reach of ordinary magic weapons.

That red dragon staff must be an ancient treasure without a doubt, and its power is pretty good, but it is still far inferior to his own magic weapon.

If he had not yet given his full effort in order to subdue the opponent, his performance would not have seemed so 'equally matched' and he would have been able to destroy the opponent in an instant.

“Fellow Daoist, you can take this treasure back. Otherwise, it will be destroyed after a long time, which is a pity. Also, if you have other more powerful means, you can use them all and let me see them. Otherwise, there is no need to continue this battle.” Liudao glanced at the red dragon that was at a disadvantage again, and then laughed.

"There is really no need to waste time. These little fights are meaningless. It just so happens that I still have the strongest trump card here. If you can take it, I will admit defeat in this battle." Mo Juren did not take back the red dragon staff, but his eyes flashed and he said meaningfully.

"The last trump card? In that case, just use it. There's no need to hesitate." Liudao didn't notice anything wrong at all. Instead, he happily encouraged the other party.

Hearing this, Mo Juren's mouth corners slightly raised, and with a thought, the red dragon staff that was trembling with the magic chain in mid-air suddenly exploded with a "bang".

This immediately made Liudao stand there in a daze. Before he could come to his senses, Mo Juren had arrived in an instant like lightning, and then the sky was filled with ice-blue flames that instantly engulfed him.
