Chapter 946: Counter Kill (1)
Li Xiaofei was just about to bow, but something suddenly felt off.
Wait a minute. Why is Sword Immortal Lin Beichen smiling so foolishly?
He had been grinning at them the whole time, without the slightest change in expression. A strange feeling stirred in Li Xiaofei’s heart. He focused on his perception and examined the figure carefully.
In that moment, he realized that this wasn’t a living person at all. It was merely an image. It was a lifelike portrait carved into the white cliff face. However, since it was so vividly detailed and fully three-dimensional, they had all mistaken it for the real Lin Beichen at first glance.
Li Xiaofei quickly alerted Zhu Zhixun and the others. Only then did the five begin to come to their senses.
“A portrait?”
“It’s not the real person?”
“It looks so real.”
“Then where is the Sword Immortal Senior?”
Xiong Gang and the others felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads. Their excitement turned to bitter disappointment.
“Let’s keep looking,” Zhu Zhixun said. “Since Senior Lin left his likeness behind, there’s a good chance he himself is somewhere nearby.”
Li Xiaofei remained silent. He didn’t agree with that assumption. The formations they had just passed, while indeed resilient, weren’t enough to trap an Emperor-level cultivator. Lin Beichen might not actually be here.
