Qin Siyang's whole body tensed up.
A chilling glint suddenly appeared in Lu Daoxing's eyes.
He tightly grasped Qin Siyang's wrist.
"Since we can't deceive Li Tianming, taking a hostage will do!"
Seeing this from not far away, Li Tianming and the others grew anxious.
"Little Qin!!"
At this moment, Qin Siyang felt as if his entire body was filled with molten lead, completely out of his control.
He could only watch helplessly as the armor on Lu Daoxing's hand transformed into metal chains, fully restraining him.
He swallowed a small piece of the divine remains in his mouth, trying to activate Banquet Domain to escape.
Qin Siyang's eyes widened.
[Banquet Domain failed to activate]
But this time, the failure was not because there was no open space for teleportation.
It was because he simply couldn't activate it at all.
'Could my abilities have been sealed?'
Qin Siyang looked at Lu Daoxing in shock.
'How could such an ability exist?'
He immediately tried activating Violence instead.
In an instant, his whole body was filled with immense power.
But he still couldn't control his own body.
'Hmm?'
'Violence actually activated successfully?'
'What is going on?'
Qin Siyang pondered for a moment and understood.
It was probably because his body had been completely sealed. For some reason, he could no longer digest the divine remains, so Banquet Domain couldn't activate.
If Banquet Domain couldn't activate, then God Mimicry was naturally impossible as well.
The only usable ability was Violence.
Even though he had the enhancement of Violence, he still couldn't regain control of his body.
Qin Siyang frowned in thought, considering his next move.
Lu Daoxing looked at the people not far away and said, "Li Tianming, Zhang Kuang, Chang Tianxiong, Qin Siyang is in my hands now. Without him, you won't be able to study the Vine Core."
Li Tianming asked, "What do you want?"
"I want to make a deal with you."
Li Tianming sneered, "If it were me you were trying to drug just now, you'd have killed me already. And now you want to negotiate? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
"Li Tianming, can you bear to watch Qin Siyang die?"
"If you're an imposter, then tell me. Where is the real Lu Daoxing?"
"What kind of question is that? Since I'm here, that means he's dead."
Li Tianming clenched his fists upon hearing this.
"Li Tianming, I advise you to stop worrying about the dead. Focus on the living. Are you going to save him or not?"
"What are your conditions to release Qin Siyang?"
"Kill Zhang Kuang, and I'll release him."
Hearing this, Li Tianming lost all interest in negotiating.
This was an impossible condition.
Not to mention that he would never kill Zhang Kuang, but even if he did, a person like this would surely make more demands afterward.
"Then go ahead. But I promise you, if you kill Qin Siyang, I will definitely avenge him."
Lu Daoxing snorted coldly, "Li Tianming, do you really think you can kill me?"
Li Tianming didn't respond immediately. He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and looked at the fake Lu Daoxing.
"Hearing you say that, I can tell you must be quite young."
Zhang Kuang scratched his messy hair, "Any one of us three could kill you. As for how you managed to kill the real Lu Daoxing… I'm guessing it's because he was too careless and didn't guard against you, so you got a sneak attack in, right?"
Chang Tianxiong adjusted his glasses, "You must have approached Lu Daoxing using someone else's appearance. After killing him, you used his face to get close to us."
"The fact that you can change into multiple faces instead of just one means that your transformation ability is likely your own Sequence Skill, not a disguise granted by someone else."
"Unless you have an accomplice who alters your face for you. But that doesn't seem likely. If you had a helper, they would have shown themselves by now."
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Deceiver Sequence, right?"
Lu Daoxing's pupils suddenly contracted, revealing a look of apprehension.
Qin Siyang watched, amazed.
Li Tianming had previously said that the strongest Sequence Users in the Safe Zone were all in the university, and Qin Siyang had doubted it.
Now, he was convinced.
Just from a brief exchange, the three of them had already figured out the fake Lu Daoxing's background.
There was nothing more to say.
Knowledge is power.
Even though Qin Siyang was being controlled, he wasn't panicked at all.
This Lu Daoxing was probably working with the other impostors.
Since Laudenor hadn't killed him, this one likely wouldn't either.
Now, it was just a matter of seeing how Li Tianming and the others would rescue him.
Li Tianming took another drag from his cigarette and smiled.
"Your Sequence relies entirely on God-Hunting Artifact for combat, like a cripple walking on one leg."
"If we can't even kill you, we might as well go raise pigs in the Safe Zone."
"Qin Siyang, don't worry. We'll avenge you."
Qin Siyang's eyes widened.
'Why does it sound like Li Tianming is encouraging Lu Daoxing to kill him as soon as possible?'
Thankfully, his head wasn't sealed too.
"I trust you, my ass! What use is your revenge to me? If I'm dead, who cares what happens afterward?"
"If you're so damn capable, why not save me while I'm still alive?"
Li Tianming exhaled a smoke ring, "He's completely restrained you. A single move from him could kill you, and any movement from me would mean your death. I can't think of a good solution."
Qin Siyang was about to curse.
Just then, a hemispherical light barrier suddenly appeared, enclosing both him and Lu Daoxing.
Before anyone could react, Qin Siyang felt a change.
In an instant, the force binding him disappeared, and he regained control of his body.
At the same time, the divine remains in his stomach were also digested.
Without hesitation, Qin Siyang activated Banquet Domain, teleporting several times to escape the barrier and arrive beside Li Tianming.
His eyes remained alert as he watched Zhang Kuang and Chang Tianxiong, wary that they might take too much interest in his ability.
Zhang Kuang and Chang Tianxiong, seeing Qin Siyang's strange movement technique, were a little curious.
"Little Qin, your skill looks pretty interesting."
"Yeah, it's quite unusual."
After saying that, they turned back to the hemispherical barrier.
"This looks like Lu Daoxing's God-Hunting Artifact."
"Yeah, seems like he's back."
Li Tianming grinned with excitement, "I knew it. There's no way Lu Daoxing would die so easily!"
Qin Siyang scratched his head in confusion.
He had thought the two of them would be amazed by his Banquet Domain.
But they just made a few comments before ignoring it, as if it wasn't that impressive.
That left him feeling a bit disappointed.
Oh well.
He shook his head and also looked at the barrier.
Another figure slowly rose from the ground.
It was the real Lu Daoxing.
He glanced at Qin Siyang, who had already escaped, "Well, at least I don't have to go through the trouble of saving you, kid."
Then, he turned his gaze to the imposter who looked exactly like him.
The man's face was filled with terror, "You… you're not dead?"
Lu Daoxing smirked.
"Don't worry."
"Someone's going to die."
