302: no the same

Daer Mountains.

A dark-colored mountain peak, about 1000 meters high.

This mountain peak has countless seemingly cave-like openings.

At the entrance of one such opening, Peng Fei and Xu Tian were looking with worried expressions at the yellow halo not far away.

"Damn it!"

"I didn't expect the Giant Civilization to send a Domain Warrior!"

Xu Tian's face had lost its usual composure by now.

Although he didn't know why Chen Du could still advance as if nothing had happened after such an intense battle, the current outcome was good.

If Chen Du hadn't rushed here without stopping after killing Bao Xingguang, he would have already been enveloped by the opponent's Domain!

However, this 'good' was only temporary. Since the Giant Civilization sent a Domain Warrior, it meant their resolve: they would never give up until they found Chen Du and his companions!

Xu Tian had initially thought that a Level 7 team would be the most they'd send. Now it seemed he had underestimated the Giant Civilization's anger.

Or rather, he had underestimated the value of a Domain-level Genius within the Giant Civilization.

"Hoo... It seems there's no other way."

Xu Tian took a deep breath, as if having made a decision, a look of desperation appearing on his face.

If this Domain were to directly envelop them, everything would be exposed.

Chen Du was still below and didn't know about this, but Xu Tian had to make sure Chen Du escaped this calamity!

It was rare for a Domain-level Genius to appear in the High Martial Civilization; he absolutely couldn't die like this.

For a civilization to exist for a long time, the number of top-tier powerhouses is the most important indicator!

Xu Tian knew that without Yan, Durags, and Lei En, the High Martial Civilization would have been long gone!

"Peng Fei."

Xu Tian looked at the faint yellow halo in the distance, his tone firm.

"Later, I will impersonate Chen Du and enter the opponent's Domain, then die in a 'reasonable' way."

"The path ahead for Chen Du will be walked with you."

Peng Fei was startled upon hearing this and retorted:

"You're going to take his place in death? Why not let me do it? You are an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior; wouldn't it be safer for you to accompany Chen Du on the path ahead?"

Peng Fei was not afraid of death. He was the first person to come into contact with Chen Du.

In the Seventh Ecological Circle, during Hai City's Hundred Cities Championship, he had thought highly of Chen Du, but he had never imagined Chen Du would achieve what he had today.

He knew Chen Du's potential better than anyone.

Although Chen Du was still only an Advanced Martial Artist, the potential he had displayed already showed the Aptitude for a Domain!

Xu Tian shook his head:

"You can't do it, Peng Fei. Your height and build are very different from Chen Du's, and only an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior can perform 'self-detonation' and 'partial self-detonation'."

"I will perform a partial self-detonation within my body later, forcefully destroying a certain degree of my Life Strength, lowering my Rank to the same 15.1 as Chen Du's."

"Then I will die within the opponent's Domain, completing the substitution!"

Xu Tian didn't know how much of Chen Du's information the Giant Civilization knew, but he was certain it had been exposed.

Although there were no cameras or similar things nearby, the resourceful Giant Civilization would surely send Martial Artists who could confirm the killer's appearance.

The fact that they sent a Domain Warrior was the best proof; their quick arrival was to prevent the killer from escaping.

Peng Fei wanted to say something more upon hearing this, but he saw that Xu Tian had already cut his hair into Chen Du's style with a longsword.

For Xu Tian, whose Martial Skill had reached the Control level, imitating Chen Du's hairstyle was a very easy task.

Subsequently, Xu Tian handed over all the important items from his Storage Ring to Peng Fei, ensuring no High Martial Civilization clues were left behind.

Then, he took out a bottle of decolorizer and faded his red hair back to its original black.

Finally, he even took out a clown mask, wings, and clothing identical to Chen Du's from his Storage Ring.

Peng Fei was shocked to see this.

This showed that Xu Tian's plan to take his place in death was by no means an impromptu decision, but rather premeditated!

He had even prepared these items related to Chen Du in advance!

Time was urgent; the opponent's Domain could change at any moment.

Xu Tian's eyes widened, and his body suddenly swelled internally.

Xu Tian let out a "wah" and spat out a large mouthful of blood, his entire aura wilting.

Then, he looked at Peng Fei and said calmly:

"I'm leaving. You destroy the cave entrance and temporarily leave this mountain peak as well."

After speaking, he endured the intense pain and advanced towards the opponent's Domain.

Xu Tian did not use an Illusion Pill, as that thing had a time limit, and expiring would only expose him.

Peng Fei didn't say a word to try and stop him. He knew that would only waste time; perhaps one more word, a few more seconds of delay, could lead to a completely different outcome.

A Martial Artist's Life Strength is not immutable; injury, poisoning, old age and frailty, lack of consistent training, and other factors can potentially reduce Life Strength.

At this moment, Xu Tian had essentially fallen from an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior to an Advanced Martial Artist, losing his ability to Skysoar.

However, for him, it didn't matter anymore.

He had already prepared himself for death, running as if his life depended on it, his speed of advance incredibly fast.

As he was about to approach the opponent's Domain, Xu Tian precisely stabbed his left chest with his longsword, using the blade to a certain extent to injure his heart, putting himself into a state of death countdown.

According to Xu Tian's prediction, even if the opponent had suspicions and took his corpse back for dissection and research, by the time they discovered he was actually an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior, it would be too late.

By then, Chen Du would have long been gone... "Oh no!"

Gang Ben, who had just finished saying he found the target, immediately changed his expression.

Immediately, he used his Domain power to lift Billy, and the two flew at full speed in a certain direction.

The Disorder Giant nearby also hurried to follow.

The speed of flying with one person would certainly be faster than with two. He guessed that Gang Ben must have discovered something and needed Billy's power.

A Domain Warrior's flying speed is equivalent to the speed of Domain expansion, but carrying a person naturally slows it down considerably, though it remains very fast.

Soon, Gang Ben landed with Billy somewhere.

As soon as he landed, Gang Ben pointed at a man on the Surface wearing a clown mask and bleeding profusely, shouting:

"Billy! Heal him quickly!"

"This guy seems to have been attacked by another alien race and stumbled into my Domain."

"He absolutely cannot be allowed to die so easily; he must be brought back to the civilization for continuous torture and treatment as a permanent punishment!"

Wisdom Giants generally possess healing abilities, and Billy was no exception, which was why Gang Ben immediately brought him over.

Without a word of nonsense, Billy directly unleashed the ability of the Third Secret Treasure, "Resurrection."

However, after a short while, he shook his head and said:

"No, he's already dead."

"Damn it!"

"This guy got off too easy!"

Gang Ben stomped his foot fiercely, enraged.

Then, he prepared to stomp on the opponent's corpse to vent his anger.

At this moment, Billy suddenly raised his hand, making a 'wait' gesture, and said:

"No!"

"It's not right!"

"This isn't the alien race I saw in the 'Memoirs of the Dead' path; their facial features are different!"

As a Wisdom Giant, Billy's mind was naturally more agile. His eyes darted, and he immediately guessed something, quickly saying:

"Captain! Expand the Domain again! I suspect that alien race has companions, and this guy is very likely here to take his place in death!"
