In the domain space, Li Yuanqing looked at the distorted position in the sky and felt a chill run down his spine. If such an explosion landed on him, he would not be able to withstand it no matter what.
As expected, the power of this space was too weak, and the power he had seen was too small. He had no concept of this level of power in the past, but now, he had a new understanding of this powerful force.
After the explosion outside gradually weakened, the distorted space still did not ease up immediately. It was still twisting and turning. It took a long, long time to recover from the intense impact.
Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry. In any case, he was very safe here. He only needed to wait here and go out after everything outside calmed down.
Although the fellow was calling out quite happily, he could tell that the power in his hands could not be used endlessly. After all, this was not the space he was in. The power he could use was still very limited.
Li Yuanqing was still waiting for the right time.
The wooden-faced man looked at the distorted space strangely. He did not think much of it just now, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
“Although the space in the lower realm is fragile, it’s not to this extent, right? Why is it distorted like this? What happened?”
He finally sensed the problem. The space here was a little too weak.
Logically speaking, although he was strong enough, there were still powerful restrictions in this space, so he could not unleash them. However, this incomplete power could actually blow up this flat space into such a state. This was impossible and unreasonable.
He walked to the front of the distorted space and slowly stretched out his hand. Some small spatial fragments were placed in his hand, cutting countless cracks in his wooden palm.
“What?”
He seemed to notice something.
After a moment, when the space gradually stabilized, Li Yuanqing suddenly appeared from there. However, the space outside had already fallen silent. There was no movement at all, and the wooden-faced man had disappeared.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly searched for the place where the crowd was gathered. He had not sensed the aura of the wooden-faced man for a long time. He thought that the wooden-faced man had gone out to kill, so he jumped out when he could not make it in time.
However, when he spread his divine sense throughout Rong City, he realized that he could not feel any life force in Rong City.
There didn’t seem to be a single living person here.
Li Yuanqing was shocked. Just as he was about to run to the place where the people were originally locked up and search again, he suddenly seemed to have realized something. He hurriedly flung his body to the side.
The moment he left, a sharp dagger appeared behind his back and he missed.
The dagger was held in the hand of a strange-looking puppet. The body structure of this puppet was very simple. Its arms and legs seemed to be connected by lotus roots, making it look very silly.
The puppet’s head turned ninety degrees stiffly and its gaze landed on Li Yuanqing. Its empty eyes suddenly lit up.
“Not good!”
Li Yuanqing cursed in his heart and hurriedly retreated to the side. Although this puppet looked very stupid, he gave off a very, very dangerous feeling.
Li Yuanqing immediately shifted his body. The moment he moved, the puppet appeared where he was standing just now. It was as if it had suddenly drawn an afterimage and appeared out of thin air without giving anyone any time to react. If not for Li Yuanqing’s fast escape, he would have been injured.
Li Yuanqing’s expression changed drastically. He looked around and his heart sank.
The puppet was still chasing after him. Li Yuanqing was escaping very quickly, as if he could accurately predict the direction of the puppet. However, the puppet was chasing after him tirelessly. His body was tightly wound, and he kept running.
During the chase, Li Yuanqing had clearly decreased his speed, as if he was about to run out of stamina.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the sky.
“Kid, I didn’t expect you to cultivate your domain space to such a level. You sneaked into your domain space when I wasn’t paying attention. You’re really something. This strength is naturally enough to dominate a region in the lower realm. However, you chose the wrong place. This is not a place you should be!”
As soon as he finished speaking, it suddenly seemed to rain in the sky, and black spots appeared.
However, those black dots gradually enlarged in Li Yuanqing’s eyes and finally turned into puppets.
The puppets landed on the ground like cannonballs, creating huge pits after landing.
However, they could not feel any pain at all. One by one, they slowly crawled out of the pit and twisted their necks on the ground. After the preliminary adjustments were completed, they raised their heads and looked at Li Yuanqing, who was standing in the sky. That was their target.
All the puppets’ eyes lit up. They had locked onto their targets.
In an instant, these puppets rushed towards Li Yuanqing like countless cannonballs. If he dodged slowly, he would definitely die.
“Hmph!”
The wooden-faced man did not expect to encounter such a powerful opponent here. This kid had some ability. Unfortunately, it was precisely because of this that he could not keep this kid alive. Leaving this kid alive was a huge disaster. He had to kill him early.
The puppets suddenly collided in the air and shot backward one by one. However, after shooting for hundreds of feet, they forcefully braked in the air and locked onto Li Yuanqing’s position again. They repeated the same action and kept attacking Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing did not intend to fight back. The reason why he did not fight back was because he realized that he had already fallen into someone else’s domain. No matter how he fought back, it was meaningless.
This was because the world beside him was built by the wooden-faced man. He was a chess piece here. He had to think of a way to break out to have a chance to survive. Otherwise, he would die.
He had a powerful domain in his hands. Although he was not completely confident in dealing with a domain, he had some experience.
Those puppets were definitely not Li Yuanqing’s main target, but where was the core of this domain?
Li Yuanqing was still searching.
As if sensing Li Yuanqing’s intentions, the wooden-faced man laughed in disdain.
“Kid, do you think you can leave my space with your attainments in array formations?”
Li Yuanqing felt as if the voice was beside his ear. It was so clear.
“Don’t waste your energy. You’ve already landed here, so just accept your fate. You’re the one who’s unlucky enough to fall into my hands.”
Li Yuanqing was not affected by these sounds. He was still spinning around and flying around the entire Rong City.
The wooden-faced man still refused to give up. He was still muttering nonsense.
“If you obediently summon your domain space now, I can still spare your life.”
Li Yuanqing landed on a seemingly ordinary street with the door of the City Lord Manor behind him.
He kept searching around. Just now, he had sensed a very different spiritual energy fluctuation.
The wooden-faced man was in disbelief. Why did this kid find this place so quickly?
Li Yuanqing gently stroked the altar in his hand. There was a palm-sized little person lying there obediently in his arms. He said something to Li Yuanqing in a very weak voice.
“Where the hell is it?”
Although he had found this place under the guidance of Little Dot, Li Yuanqing was still not sure where the weakness of this domain was.
A figure suddenly appeared beside him. The wooden-faced man looked at Li Yuanqing with interest.
“Little guy, you have some comprehension. Why don’t you come with me? I can save your life. As long as you agree to one condition, you can leave now.”
“What conditions?”
Li Yuanqing looked like he had the intention to negotiate.
The wooden-faced man smiled and said, “It’s very simple. You just have to cooperate with me and put on a show. I can help you deceive everyone and pretend that you’ve disappeared from the world forever. No one will ever know about you or what happened here.”
“That sounds like a very tempting offer.”
“I’m already thinking very highly of you by being able to discuss such conditions with you here. I’ve never said such useless nonsense to a kid from the lower realm in my life.”
“That must have been too grievous for you.”
Li Yuanqing looked at him teasingly.
“You don’t want to?”
“I do. Of course I do. But before that, I want to see what’s here!”
Li Yuanqing took advantage of this moment to silently walk around to the back. The door of the City Lord Manor was tightly shut.
He slowly placed his hand on the door of the City Lord Manor and pushed it heavily.
“Kid, do you know what you’re doing now?”
The wooden-faced man’s expression was very ugly.
Li Yuanqing had stalled for a while just now. Little Dot had already helped him find the exact location of the core of the array formation. It was here in the City Lord Manor, behind this door.
It could clearly feel very clear energy pulses here, twisting and turning. The waves of feeling were really very real, as if it was holding a heart with its hand.
“Of course I know!”
Seeing this, Li Yuanqing knew that he had found the right place. He could not wait to slam the altar on the door.
The originally calm door suddenly became unstable after the altar touched it. The entire door kept twisting like a living creature.
From the outside, it looked like he had suffered a lot and wanted to expel the disgusting thing in his body.
The very thick blood vessels twisted into a ball, but all of them were pressed tightly against the altar and could not move.
“What?”
The wooden-faced man never expected that his domain space would be discovered so easily.
Moreover, this kid was currently taking action and destroying a portion of his space. If he really succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The wooden-faced man hurriedly attacked, wanting to stop Li Yuanqing.
However, at this moment, a very strong energy fluctuation suddenly came from the altar. It spread out in waves, seriously interfering with the wooden-faced man’s spiritual energy circulation, causing him to feel dizzy for a moment.
When the dizziness disappeared, the wooden-faced man could only see that everything had returned to normal. Rong City had returned to its original state. Countless living beings below were twisting and seeking help.
He was shocked to discover that his domain space was destroyed by Li Yuanqing when he had originally wanted to bring Li Yuanqing into his domain space and kill him.
The domain space was greatly damaged now, and it would probably take a lot of effort to completely repair it.
“You!”
He glared at Li Yuanqing angrily. It was this kid who did all this. How did he do it?
“Go to hell!”
Wooden-faced man raised his wooden claws and grabbed at Li Yuanqing heavily. He could not tolerate that this fellow was still alive in front of him. He had to kill this person at this moment.
However, the raised palm involuntarily lowered again. A very empty feeling in his heart forced him to stop the intense threat.
He was surprised to discover that the spiritual energy in his body had completely dissipated. When Li Yuanqing attacked just now, he had messed up all his spiritual energy. It was not that simple to kill now.
Li Yuanqing looked at him coldly. The altar in his hand was already raised high and landed on the head of the wooden-faced man.
The wooden-faced man looked at the thing above his head in surprise. He could not understand what was wrong with this kid. Why did he become like this? What happened?
Just as he was hesitating, an extremely violent force with an irresistible strong feeling attracted his entire body.
Countless threads stretched out from the altar and tied themselves to him, twisting his body and deforming it until it turned into countless fragments.
