Chapter 3088: Oh no, I've become a fake
In Xu Jie's view, those two demon race ancestor puppets were truly lethal weapons; if used properly, they were remarkably effective.
Therefore, this matter could only be handled by him personally; he couldn't trust anyone else with it.
His gaze swept across the various battlefields, calculating the timing, especially the fight between the two primordial human ancestors and the tiger and deer ancestors—that was the key.
At this moment, the two humans and two demons were locked in fierce combat, each exerting their full strength.
A hard clash sent terrifying spiritual power spreading wildly in all directions.
Seeing this, Xu Jie's eyes lit up; he knew it was a good opportunity. With a thought, under the cover of the residual waves, the two demon ancestor puppets that had been hidden in the darkness made a brilliant entrance.
Amid the chaos, he directly charged into the area shrouded by the battle's aftermath.
As the residual waves gradually dissipated, all that could be seen on the battlefield were two tiger ancestors and two deer ancestors.
Looking at the two puppets that looked exactly like themselves, the tiger and deer ancestors were utterly bewildered, their eyes wide open.
Huh???
Full of suspicion in his heart, he wondered, 'What the hell is this situation? How did a hard clash produce another me?'
On the other hand, the two primordial human ancestors, upon seeing the four tiger and deer ancestors that were hard to tell apart, immediately understood.
Like other humans, they could naturally distinguish real from fake.
"Who dares to impersonate this ancestor?"
Huh???
Just as the tiger and deer ancestors were still dazed, the tiger ancestor puppet let out an angry roar.
The sound was huge, immediately drawing many gazes.
Upon seeing this, the entire primordial demon race was dumbfounded, forgetting to fight, each with a strange expression.
This isn't right—how did a tiger ancestor and a deer ancestor suddenly appear out of nowhere?
His gaze swept back and forth over the four ancestors, but the craftsmanship of those two demon ancestor puppets left no doubt.
They had undergone rigorous verification, so even for these demon ancestors, unless at close range, it was hard to tell real from fake.
And in this battlefield environment, it was naturally impossible to give them a chance for close contact.
They looked completely identical, so who the hell is real and who the hell is fake?
Completely bewildered, but if we had to say who was most doubtful, it would still be the tiger and deer ancestors.
These two demon race ancestors felt extremely stifled at the moment; moreover, before their true selves could even speak, they were first hit with a counterattack.
After a brief stupor, upon regaining his senses, the tiger ancestor shouted angrily.
"Cut the crap, you're the one who's a nobody daring to impersonate this ancestor."
"It was peacefully fighting here, and suddenly something that looked exactly like it popped out; needless to say, this is definitely the work of the human race."
"Good, good, good—truly treacherous and deceitful."
"Back in the myriad heavens, it already knew the human race had many tricks, but back then it didn't think much of them."
"After all, humans are born weak, inherently inferior to the demon race—this is a disadvantage."
"Therefore, to become stronger, humans have derived all sorts of varied and colorful methods."
"This is the choice humans made to survive; in the tiger ancestor's view, it is the result of the weak being forced into desperation."
"But since coming to Beyond the Heavens, it has realized that the people here are completely different from those in the myriad heavens."
"This isn't just having many tricks; it's outright treachery, stopping at nothing."
"These Beyond the Heavens humans have methods you can't imagine—there's nothing they can't come up with."
"From the initial sneak attack, to later forced beast control, to formation disks and talisman ambushes, and now they've even produced counterfeit goods."
"But before it could finish speaking, the tiger ancestor puppet preemptively struck back."
"Bold, you all be careful—the human race has the means to disguise themselves as our demon race."
Huh???
Upon hearing this, the tiger ancestor froze, and many demons on the battlefield felt their hearts tighten, their gazes toward nearby comrades turning uneasy.
Seeing this, several other demons felt their hearts sink—uh oh, trouble.
This seemingly simple sentence fundamentally shook the morale of the demon race.
The reasoning is simple: the human race can disguise itself as these demon ancestors to the point of being indistinguishable.
Right now, no one knows whether the words spoken by these two tiger ancestors are true or false.
The tiger ancestor puppet said that someone from the human race had disguised themselves as a demon ancestor mixed into the battlefield, seizing the chance to stab from behind—who wouldn't panic?
Moreover, just now a demon was indeed stabbed in the back, making the demon ancestors all the more inclined to believe it.
Well, at this moment a demon spoke up.
"What the tiger ancestor said is correct—I just saw with my own eyes a demon stabbing another in the back, outright killing my kin."
"I also saw it—there's a human traitor among the beast herd."
Now it's gotten to the point where, on the battlefield, our own people start suspecting our own people.
Holding such suspicions, the many demons naturally can't cooperate wholeheartedly anymore; their combat strength will surely plummet.
Seeing this, the true tiger ancestor couldn't help but shout angrily.
"You bunch of idiots, this is the human race's ploy of sowing doubt—don't fall for it, I am the real tiger ancestor."
"Good, the traitor has revealed himself."
Huh???
The true tiger ancestor was furious, jumping mad—'Who the hell just jumped out? No, who exactly are you?'
By now, even the tiger and deer ancestors themselves couldn't see the origins of those two puppets.
After all, among the myriad heavens' humans, the art of puppetry has long been severed.
Perhaps because no one chose to pursue it, over time the tradition was lost.
To the Tiger Ancestor and Deer Ancestor, these two impostors were most likely two humans skilled in disguise, and they never imagined they were two puppets.
They didn't even know what a puppet was.
As for the Demon Race side, the Human Race naturally didn't care, and furthermore, didn't give them much opportunity to think.
Having achieved their goal, the Human Race's offensive did not weaken but grew, seeking to seize the opportunity to heavily wound these Demon Race.
And in their hearts they mutually suspected each other; especially when joining forces, the many Demon Race were full of suspicion toward their companions beside them.
While fighting the Human Race on one side, they also had to guard against their companions behind them stabbing them in the back.
Thus, their combat power was naturally greatly reduced, and they could not exert their full strength.
Especially, at the slightest movement of their companions nearby, these Demon Race would act like startled birds and actively dodge.
What are you doing, suddenly coming over?
I just want to be able to reach him, damn it. Besides, what are you dodging for? Just now you held him back, and I already slapped him to death.
This is an excellent opportunity; as long as we cooperate normally, even without speaking of killing, we can absolutely inflict heavy damage on this human cultivator before us.
But at the crucial moment, one of the Demon Race dodged, allowing this human cultivator to seize the chance to retreat and widen the distance.
