Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1429: Star Skill_3

Chapter 1429: Chapter 642: Star Skill_3

The first time Li Banfeng used the name Li Qi was in Medicine King Valley, where he encountered Ma Wu and Qin Jiu. The name Li Qi sounded smoother, so he casually said it.

This statement was flawed, and Li Banfeng immediately became suspicious. He quietly released Ban Feng Yi, hiding him in a corner of the room.

Ban Feng Yi was a shadow, augmented by the innate ability of Home Cultivation to be unnoticed. He quietly slipped from under Li Banfeng’s feet to the yard, without being detected by Lai Baifan.

Lai Baifan opened his mouth and bit onto Li Banfeng’s head, what he had in his mouth was indeed Li Banfeng.

When he was about to swallow Li Banfeng, Li Banfeng and Ban Feng Yi switched places.

Thanks to prior precaution, if Li Banfeng had been swallowed, the current situation would be vastly different.

Logically speaking, this event ought to be attributed to Du Wenming. Under normal circumstances, Li Banfeng’s use of shadows had always been unsmooth, and the Heavenly Union Technique was inconsistent. After killing Du Wenming, Li Banfeng gained significant insight into shadow manipulation, honing his skills further.

The two pursued each other briefly, and Lai Baifan rushed out of the woods into a wasteland, shivering as the sun shone upon him.

He lingered momentarily on the wasteland, feeling dizzy, before jumping back into the woods.

He acquired Ban Feng Yi’s abilities and characteristics.

Shadows cannot exist without light, yet fear light. Under intense light, they become somewhat confused.

After maneuvering in the woods for a while, Lai Baifan suddenly saw a halo of light ripple beneath his feet.

What is this, a boundary? How could there be a boundary here?

No, that’s wrong!

This is a Home Cultivation technique!

Has Li Qi achieved Dual Cultivation with Home Cultivation?

Can Traveling Cultivation really be compatible with Home Cultivation?

Is he closing doors and shutting windows, or expanding territory and opening borders?

His house isn’t here, how is he able to use this technique?

Lai Baifan had no time to dwell on it, pressing matters at hand were whether to jump out of the halo of light beneath his feet.

Jumping out would result in severe injury.

If he doesn’t leap out, fighting Home Cultivation inside the boundary is extremely difficult.

This is precisely what makes Home Cultivation annoying; once near the Home Cultivation practitioner’s doorstep, there’s no adequate way to respond.

While Lai Baifan hesitated, the halo suddenly slipped from beneath his feet.

How could it move…

Lai Baifan was skinned, covered in blood, lying four-limbed on the ground.

His resting posture was particularly peculiar, resembling a dead toad lying face-up and motionless.

Is he really dead?

To be safe, Li Banfeng first released a shadow, then stepped forward to directly trample Lai Baifan to death with Trample Over Thousands of Rivers.

But just as one foot stretched out, Lai Baifan flipped upright, opened his mouth, first biting onto Li Banfeng’s foot, then sucking hard, swallowing Li Banfeng.

Lai Baifan sat on the ground, rubbing his belly.

He never expected this kid could perform Dual Cultivation of Home and Traveling Cultivation.

Home Cultivation possesses the Shadow Hanging Technique, could it be that what was swallowed earlier was Li Qi’s shadow?

But Lai Baifan had seen the Shadow Hanging Technique before, while shadows move, distinguished from real people, how could they not be discerned?

Bouts of intense pain interrupted Lai Baifan’s thoughts, the pain in his stomach persisted, sweating profusely, he gritted his teeth and walked out of the woods step by step.

No matter what technique Li Qi used, regardless of whether it was a shadow or a fake being swallowed before, now that both had been swallowed, Li Qi certainly wouldn’t escape, only wait for them to be slowly digested.

He hesitated whether to inspect the stone quarry, no survivors could be left over there, but given Lai Baifan’s current condition, having too many witnesses wouldn’t be favorable.

In his hesitation, Lai Baifan suddenly sensed danger closing in, he had also grasped the Seek Fortune and Avoid Disaster Skill.

Where is the danger coming from?

Could Li Qi still be alive?

Then what were these two things in his stomach?

How could a Home Cultivation practitioner control two shadows?

What technique was Li Qi employing?

The two entities stirred together in his stomach, Lai Baifan tried acid several times but failed to suppress them.

The acid indeed failed to hinder shadows, yet Lai Baifan’s stomach had copper walls and iron walls, ensuring the two couldn’t escape.

He stood on the ground for a while, suddenly flipping over again, returning to a four-limbed lying state.

Li Banfeng was utterly baffled, how had Lai Baifan flipped to this state before any fighting had begun?

Considering it briefly, Li Banfeng realized something crucial: Lai Baifan was capable of swallowing a person whole, such a formidable technique shouldn’t be employed frequently.

But after flipping back, his entire being entered a pseudo-dead state, upon revival, the previously used technique seemed reset, enabling him to smoothly swallow a whole person once more.

Not only can he continuously employ techniques, his body also regained much form, the flesh lost from boundary scraping mostly restored now.

Li Banfeng attempted a test, directly letting two shadows approach, if Lai Baifan remained idle, he’d be sliced to death with chaotic blades, if Lai Baifan consumed both shadows, then plans would be adjusted.

Sure enough, as two shadows approached, Lai Baifan immediately got up, opened his mouth, swept his tongue, rolling the two shadows into his mouth, swallowing them.

From Lai Baifan flipping up to taking action, the entire process was instantaneous, Lai Baifan without any deliberation, not even discerning shadow positioning, directly succumbing to shadow consumption.

This four-limbed lethargy is a potent maneuver, its extent of further variations remains beyond Li Banfeng’s predictions.

Lai Baifan wobbled, struggling to stabilize, four shadows tumultuously churned in his stomach, visible irregular upheavals occurring upon him.
