Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System
Chapter 467 - 389: The Real and Fake Feng Xuanxiang!
Su Yuan wanted to struggle a little more, to try and explain that he really was a good person.
But unfortunately, it was a bit too late.
Motis's main body raised a hand and casually placed it on the shoulder of a doppelgänger.
That doppelgänger's face showed obvious fear, seemingly wanting to resist, but the body was completely out of control, unable to move.
Then, her flesh twisted, like a deflated ball, being sucked into Motis's palm just like that.
The only thing left in the real world was a head without a body.
This head, which looked identical to Motis's main body, floated around her like a balloon, eyes devoid of any spirit, as if tethered by an invisible thread, unable to drift away.
Simultaneously, Motis's main body's aura suddenly became powerful, seemingly fully merging with the power of that doppelgänger.
Once only of average Evil Extermination University seed class level, she suddenly became of excellent seed class level.
And this was just the beginning; Motis's doppelgängers, like moths to a flame, had their heads and bodies separate, and the headless bodies quickly merged into the main body, making the girl's aura stronger and more terrifying.
In the end, only the cheerful Motis wearing the red hat, the first to split, retained her body, while the remaining ninety-eight doppelgängers were left with floating heads.
These heads, with listless eyes slightly lowered, gazed at the main body like theatergoers, creating an indefinable eeriness.
"Mo... Motis, there's no need to eat so many sisters... they'll be in much pain after being consumed by you, and when they split out again, they might not be themselves."
The red-hatted Motis cautiously distanced herself from the main body a few steps, forcing a smile.
Motis's main body said flatly:
"This dog officer is strong, without accumulating enough power, we can't break through this cage."
As she finished speaking, the girl, like a puppeteer, raised her hand and gently tugged the invisible threads connecting the heads.
Immediately, the ninety-eight Motis heads began to move, some charging directly at Su Yuan, while others circled around, quickly encircling him.
Soon after, a Motis head opened its mouth, and from the tender, healthy cavity shot a bolt of lightning, striking heavily at Su Yuan.
The power of this bolt was clearly a composite of the ninety-nine Motis powers, an attack far exceeding the Foundation Establishment stage.
Following this, other Motis heads spat out flames, ice spears, or dark green venom.
These attacks, varied in type but extremely powerful, all aimed at Su Yuan's vital points.
Under such an onslaught, not to mention a mid-late Foundation Establishment cultivator, even a Golden Core cultivator like Wu Sheng would be at risk of being swiftly eliminated.
Only after witnessing Motis's means did Su Yuan approximately understand the composition of this Blood God Sect Saintess's abilities.
The ninety-nine Motis in the 'Night Raid Must Succeed' judgment indeed could be counted as targets, but were by no means living people.
They seemed more like puppets forged from cultivator corpses, identical to Motis herself.
Only, these puppets weren't controlled by any Divine Daoist Technique, but rather by distinct personalities split off from Motis, as evidenced by the red-hatted Motis's behavior.
Simply put, Motis's main personality split, and she crafted new bodies for the sub-personalities.
Furthermore, Motis's primary personality had absolute control over the sub-personalities, able to merge them into herself at any time, converting them into her own power.
However, this fusion couldn't last long; after a period, they would separate again.
As for the varied attacks from these ninety-eight heads, Su Yuan guessed that they were likely the original techniques mastered by the ninety-eight cultivators turned into puppets.
Understanding these crucial points, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of mutual appreciation for this Saintess Mo in front of him.
Where in the entire Blue Star Federation could such a like-minded individual be found!
Look at this Corpse Refinement level, comparable to the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet.
And look at this method of manipulating puppets through personal splits, easily squeezing sub-personalities, akin to the Cyber Ten Thousand Souls Banner or the puppet artists under Primordial Media!
In Su Yuan's heart at this moment, a feeling like Liu Bei meeting Hidden Dragon spontaneously arose, making him eager to recruit her immediately.
While Su Yuan's thoughts were racing, the ninety-eight Motis heads' attacks engulfed Su Yuan like a tsunami.
Motis could clearly see Su Yuan's body being torn to pieces layer by layer by various attacks, with no possibility of escape.
"Is it... did we win? Could this seemingly fierce demon actually be a wastrel?"
The red-hatted Motis murmured in shock.
But in the next second, she suddenly heard a muffled groan from beside her.
The red-hatted Motis turned her head and saw the main body's slender waist bending slightly, her light-colored Dai Mei tightly furrowed, seemingly enduring great pain.
"Xiaomo, are you alright?"
The red-hatted Motis asked nervously.
Motis's main body didn't speak, just pointed lightly at her.
Then her expression immediately twisted, full of exaggerated agony:
"Pain, pain, so much pain, what's happening to my body!"
Motis's main body took a breath and said:
"I've split the pain with you, it's not that bad, stop screaming."
"This corrupt official's tactics are indeed formidable, perhaps possessing the ability to share or even transfer pain sensations."
As she spoke, she ordered her group of heads to cease their attack.
But in the area where Su Yuan had attracted everyone's focus, Su Yuan's figure was nowhere to be found.
The girl was slightly stunned, then immediately turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw Su Yuan standing behind her unharmed, waving at her warmly.
This guy had a Black Lotus Mark on his forehead. Although his clothes were tattered, his body beneath the clothes was perfectly intact.
The few injured parts were also healing at a visibly rapid pace.
"Saintess Mo, I think we really have a lot in common. How about we sit down and chat?"
Su Yuan spoke in a friendly tone, carrying a strong sense of sincerity.
"I have nothing in common with you."
Motis' main body said without hesitation:
"I practice Demon Technique out of necessity, while you practice it... obviously just for fun."
As she spoke, the girl threw a punch, aiming straight at Su Yuan's head.
This punch contained the strength of ninety-nine Motis combined, breaking the sound barrier the moment it was thrown. Its power wasn't any weaker than a missile at top speed.
Yet, facing this powerful punch, Su Yuan's neck miraculously twisted, dodging the blow with a speed so fast it appeared blurred.
Immunity to First-Time Kill, 100% evasion of head-targeted attacks.
Dodging the punch, Su Yuan instantly heightened his body's sensitivity using Abyssal Spiritual Power.
Then, utilizing the Demon Technique·Body Transfer, he transferred the negative sensation of this heightened sensitivity a hundredfold onto the true Motis' body.
This girl, who clearly had a three-no attribute and a petite frame, suddenly froze.
Seizing this opportunity, a large chunk of black mud disappeared beneath the girl's feet, instantly teleporting above her head and pouring down like melted cheese.
If she got covered by it, Motis' true body would be instantly eroded, falling under the control of the black mud.
But at that critical moment, Motis glanced at the Red Hat Motis.
In an instant, her figure vanished, reappearing where the Red Hat Motis was.
The latter, in turn, ended up where the true body had been, getting drenched in black mud over her head and face.
In the blink of an eye, Motis lost control of the Red Hat Motis.
When the black mud fell off the Red Hat Motis, her skin was already adorned with several black streaks, completely darkened, becoming a servant of the Corruption Divine Kingdom.
However, the Red Hat Motis still retained her sanity, immediately raging at the true body:
"Feng Xuanxiang! You're such a bastard!"
"I thought you kept me around because you acknowledged me as a good sister, but it turns out it was just to use me as a shield at a critical moment."
Motis' true body remained calm, but Su Yuan's expression turned incredibly interesting.
Feng... Feng Xuanxiang?
Little Red Riding Hood, are you sure you didn't call the wrong name?
Su Yuan really wanted to ask that.
But he knew well enough that the chances of calling the wrong name were very slim.
Combining this with the Saintess Mo's conviction from the start that the Motis on the Yaksha was an impostor, a bold idea emerged in Su Yuan's mind.
Feng Xuanxiang is Motis, and Motis is Feng Xuanxiang!
Shit! The identity replacement has been discovered by the original owner, how embarrassing.
Based on the limited data about Feng Xuanxiang and her current strength, she clearly fits the mold of a protagonist who, having received a serendipitous encounter after a cliff dive, rises against all odds!
What should an Outer Heaven Demon do when encountering a true protagonist?
Personally at hand, quite urgent!
"Uh, Saintess Mo, my companions and I really intend to stop the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony that's set to happen in thirty days, and we unintentionally took your identity to do so. Truly, there's no need for us to fight anymore as we're on the same side."
Su Yuan suppressed his embarrassment and braced himself to speak.
Unfortunately, Motis, like before, showed no sign of relenting.
It seemed that she wouldn't stop unless things ended in a life-and-death conclusion with Su Yuan.
Fortunately, at that moment, Su Yuan suddenly felt someone approaching outside the Tribulation Moon Space.
Judging by the aura of the approaching person, it was none other than Chen Nuoyi, who was guarding the ship.
She must have been worried and came to check after seeing it taking too long to deal with.
This great demon finds it hard to convince Motis, but if Nuoyi steps in, perhaps there's a chance to persuade her.
With this in mind, Su Yuan once again activated the Tribulation Moon Pearl, instantly transporting himself, the true Motis, Red Hat Motis, and her collection of heads out.
In that moment, this Blood God Sect Saintess officially met with the blue-haired, golden-eyed Chen Nuoyi.
