Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1688

Chapter 1688: Chapter 857: No Need to Waste Any More Effort

"Since it’s useless, let’s keep it as bait for now, there’s no need to waste any more effort."

"Yes."

The subordinate bowed and withdrew.

In the courtyard, that graceful figure swiftly flitted to the front of the stone pillar.

She extended her slender hand, her fingertips surrounded by a strange and restrained energy fluctuation, gently brushing over the black iron chains that bound Gu Lie.

An astonishing scene unfolded! The iron chains, inscribed with sturdy runes and capable of restraining a Sect Realm powerhouse, rapidly turned red and softened as if burned by invisible flames where her fingers touched them, and with a few light snaps, they broke and fell off!

Without the support of the chains, the still-weak Gu Lie plummeted forward.

The woman was prepared, extending her arm to catch Gu Lie’s falling body with a gentle force, preventing him from hitting the ground.

Next, the woman’s figure began to undergo a bizarre transformation! Her body slightly expanded as if inflated, suddenly gaining more than half a foot in height, and her bones emitted faint sounds of adjustment. Simultaneously, her appearance and physique flashed and reshaped like rippling water, swiftly transforming into the exact appearance and physique of Gu Lie! Even the details of dirt and scars on the skin, the graying temples, the faint bloody odor, and the dried bloodstains on the clothing were imitated flawlessly, vivid as life!

"His injuries are severe but mostly external with excessive depletion, his foundation remains intact. Take him back to the Linyin Pavilion’s secret path, Second Miss will arrange for his proper recuperation and recovery."

The woman, now transformed into Gu Lie, spoke in a voice that also became as hoarse and deep as Gu Lie’s, making it incredibly difficult to differentiate unless one was extremely familiar.

Another figure swiftly stepped forward, taking the truly unconscious Gu Lie from her hands.

"Be careful yourself. Xiao Beixuan’s strength is unfathomable, do not act recklessly." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The receiver advised in a low voice.

"Understood, go quickly."

The fake Gu Lie nodded, then picked up the few broken, now spiritually diminished pieces of the chain from the ground, with slightly awkward yet exceptionally precise movements, re-threading them through the holes formed after the chain’s breakage at the collarbone position.

Then she leaned back against the stone pillar, lowering her head to replicate the exact weakened posture of Gu Lie when he was imprisoned, even mimicking the subtle rise and fall of breathing to perfection.

The receiver hesitated no longer, holding the real Gu Lie as he blended into the night’s shadows like a phantom, vanishing entirely in just a few flickers, leaving no trace of his presence.

Almost the moment the receiver disappeared.

Tap, tap, tap...

Steady footsteps echoed from far to near as Xiao Beixuan’s figure strolled out from the depths of the residence.
