389 Chapter 381: Distorted message!
"Cucko is sending me a distress call?" Duan Li paused as he closed his eyes to concentrate.
"Come over now... we have a foot massage?"
Abruptly opening his eyes, Duan Li almost spurted out his saliva when he heard this.
While he can understand chicken language quite fluently, he was sure that this was not the message that Cucko was trying to tell him!
Was the message distorted along the way as it was passed between several hundreds of chickens due to the sheer distance between us?
"Which stupid chicken are sending this message? I'll tell Xiahou Yu to cook you for dinner!" Duan Li cursed in his mind.
He was a little incensed with this absurdity. After all, this was similar to rumors that slowly became exaggerated as it was passed down between many people, where irresponsible individuals would twist the story one bit at a time, slowly propagating the rumor to track far off from its original story!
Duan Li perked up his hearing senses and replied to the chickens while threatening them harshly to repeat the distress message.
"Come over now... we have a foot on us?"
Are you a masochist? Why would I want that?
"Come now... which foot is left?"
How the hell should I know dammit!
"Come... chicken feet soup tasted great..."
Pu!
Curse you useless chickens, you guys must be trolling me!
And what the hell is with that last message, are you a cannibal eating your own kind?!
"Forget it, I should just connect with Utmost Being so that he could tap into the distress call at the shortest distance..." Duan Li gave up and connected directly with his clone back in the Imperial Palace.
...
"Moshi Moshi..." the voice of Duan Li echoed in the minds of Utmost Being that was currently drafting a paper amidst the mountains of books piling around his desk.
Crack!
"Moshi Moshi your head! What is it?!" Utmost Being shouted in his head and broke the expensive royal quill pen on his finger.
"Hahahaha you sound lively! Being the Imperial Overseer really fits you well eh?" Duan Li cackled on the receiving end.
"F*ck you! What do you want? Hurry up and speak, I'm busy!" his clone replied angrily, sounding extremely annoyed as his concentration was broken.
Suppressing his laughter, Duan Li then answered, "I'm receiving a distress call from Cucko, but the message was somewhat twisted on my end due to the many irresponsible chickens passing them over. Can you intercept the message from there?"
"Hmph! Give me a second!" Utmost Being closed his eyes and extended his senses before he could feel the vibrations in the air so that he could read the encrypted message as per the directions from his original.
"The message reads, 'Come over now, a big foot is here!' and something along the lines that they could die anytime soon." Utmost Being said after reading the contents of the message with a tone of disdain.
"A big foot that could defeat them? Could it be?" Duan Li's eyes widened in shock.
Does this mean that the pair of hands weren't the only thing that descended? Even its foot has landed on the Tian continent?
This is bad...
Little Sword had told me that each of the limbs possessed their own separate consciousness and would become whole as the Guardian of Time once it finish doing inspection in the mortal realm that had hints of tampering with time!
This means that the foot should realize that its pair of hands was also in the same world, and if it disappears here, surely when the Guardian of Time made its report, it would take specific notes on the Tian continent!
"Can't we just send Queen Levy there? I can teleport her. She is already an Immortal anyway." Utmost Being said with indifference.
Duan Li shook his head, "You didn't face the pair of hands just now, so you probably don't know how helpless she will be if she faced it. In fact, even you will die if you go there!"
Since Duan Li had turned off their real-time information sync due to how annoying it felt like when they shared everything all the time, his clone wasn't able to experience what he experienced before.
"Big talk. Then you go there by yourself!" Utmost Being scoffed before disconnecting their channel and continuing his work.
...
"Supreme Elder? What's wrong?" Xeng Guan said after they saw Duan Li standing still for a long time.
Could he be reminiscing the good old times?
"It's nothing, just that another evil spirit appeared somewhere else." Duan Li replied with a grim voice.
What? Another one of that terrifying thing?
The crowd could not help but to gasp surprise and trepidate in fear recalling their previous encounter with the pair of hands.
"I need to exterminate it at once. As for you all, this war is over!" Duan Li waved his hand in a vertical cutting motion.
Wengg!!
"T-That is.. a teleportation portal?!" the Extermination Knights and the Xian and Yuan experts stared in astonishment.
Not even one of them has this mysterious and powerful skill art!
It's incredibly rare!
Turning around to face them, Duan Li then continued, "If I hear that you guys are still fighting here, there will be severe punishment. Hmph!"
He then entered the portal, leaving everyone in an awkward silence.
...
Traversing portals after portals, Duan Li calculated that he should be able to reach his destination within a few more breaths.
This was because he used nine-tenth of his spiritual Qi to teleport in vast distances, and he needed at least one breath to recover most of his spiritual Qi back!
"Hang on guys, I'm coming.." Duan Li clenched his fists worriedly.
...
On the other hand, back in the outskirts of the Spring Blossom village, dust of clouds covered the entire area after the Heavenly retribution struck down due to Wang Feng's provocation.
"HAHAHAHA!" Wang Feng laughed out loud in satisfaction.
My plan worked! I managed to attract the Heavenly retribution and made them hit the damned foot!
"That's what you get for messing with me!"
However, when the dust settled, what he saw caused his pupils to dilate and his back drenched in sweat!
"Impossible! How is it still standing unscathed?!" Wang Feng's face paled.
That was a direct hit from the Heaven's retribution themselves! Even someone ten times stronger than me would be charred into small dust!
How can it remain uninjured?
"Puny mortals. The Heavens in this world are not strong enough to even graze the hair on my skin, let alone injure me."
"You can talk?" Wang Feng and the rest were shocked.
"Hmph. I don't waste my time on corpses. Now die." the foot raised itself and stomp down with unstoppable momentum!
"Oh no.. if that hits the ground.. everyone will die!" Zhang Liao felt helpless when he watched this scene.
Wenggg!!
