"Hmph! Deception! From where could you have obtained my soul fragments? Could it be that I can't sense whether my soul is intact?"

The moment Wu Liang's familiar aura emerged from beneath the black cloak, the Pioneer was indeed startled, because that was absolutely his own soul!

However, after just a second or two of shock, he retorted with a sneer.

This kind of trick might fool others, but he was an expert in the field of soul consciousness. If he couldn't verify the integrity of his soul, he would have perished many years ago.

Especially after his soul avatar was destroyed by Wu Liang last time, severely injuring him, he wouldn't dare to wander around without repairing it thoroughly.

At this very moment, the Pioneer could swear on his life that his soul was in an absolutely complete state.

Otherwise, during the mental confrontation with Nightmare earlier, any missing part would have revealed a flaw and his consciousness would likely have been seized.

"The soul is the only thing in the world that cannot be replicated, you're aware of this, aren't you?" the Pioneer said with a smile as he tossed other supernatural objects towards Wu Liang.

This was something few people knew — the soul also possesses uniqueness.

A person's soul can be torn into countless pieces, but it can never be replicated into the same soul.

This is why, after the Pioneer's soul was severely damaged, it took so long to repair, using countless supernatural objects, artificial ghosts, and even other people's souls.

In conclusion, Wu Liang's hand absolutely couldn't be holding his soul.

How the opponent managed to make the soul aura so similar to his own was unknown.

This kid already harbored many secrets.

One more trivial matter wouldn't make a difference.

Rumble—

The supernatural object the Pioneer threw just now exploded violently, clearly a consumable item.

Surprisingly, the explosion wasn't powerful; Wu Liang didn't even bother to dodge, simply raised his hand to block the fragments and sparks.

But at the moment of explosion, a large amount of black smoke was generated, covering an area almost the size of several football fields. All vision and sound were completely stripped away in this black smoke.

Even Wu Liang's perception, which was keen to the minutest detail, was weakened to an extreme, and in this environment, he could only perceive movements within a few meters around him.

"Mist, dispel it."

As soon as Wu Liang coldly gave the command, Mist Ghost responded with slight helplessness, "Boss, can't blow it away, this smoke is protected."

Saying so, Wu Liang also raised his hand to wave through the black smoke in front of him.

Sure enough, he found they showed no sign of moving with his gestures, and the mist spreading from his body could not encapsulate these things to change them.

He even felt a massive resistance when moving through the black fog, as if he was wading through a swamp, with every step forward feeling as burdensome as lifting a mountain.

"Heh, didn't the Pioneer claim he had no stratagems targeting me? Isn't this working quite well?" Wu Liang said with a touch of humor.

This special black fog was clearly prepared specifically for him.

Given their current ability to turn cities to ashes with a casual conversation, having one's perception so weakened was indeed extremely dangerous.

If not for Wu Liang's physical prowess, which gave the Pioneer headaches, he would probably have attempted to hide and launch a sneak attack long ago.

"He's 300 meters away to your left, chasing after the little one that was sent away just now."

At this critical moment, when it seemed he could only slowly search for the opponent's whereabouts, an utterly exasperated voice emerged from the black cloak in Wu Liang's hand.

Hearing the voice, Wu Liang grinned, saying, "Finally willing to talk? Why didn't you scare the Pioneer a bit earlier? Acting all cool here, huh?"

"..."

No response came to his teasing, only silence as the aura gradually disappeared.

Wu Liang shrugged and said no more, only crouching in the direction indicated a moment ago.

His leg muscles tensed, veins bulging on his forehead.

Crack—

The ground emitted cracking sounds, spider-webbing out from where Wu Liang stood, revealing the tremendous force with which he pressed into the ground.

Finally, after a few seconds of gathering power, his eyes flashed with sharpness, and he leaped forward with mighty force.

Boom—

The immense strength and speed produced bursts of explosive sounds, pushing the mud-like black fog forward several meters.

Wu Liang's figure punctured the black fog like a sharp blade pierces tofu, smashing the fog apart with sheer force to press on.

In essence, this was a cumbersome and unrewarding way to break through.

After all, unable to perceive anything up ahead, if the Pioneer had hidden some supernatural object on the path, he wouldn't be able to stop in time and would crash into it.

Too bad, Wu Liang knew his opponent well.

The Pioneer would never place any supernatural object on a path he himself was on!

Because once Wu Liang detected the presence of a supernatural object, it was highly possible he could trace it back to the Pioneer's precise location!

Thus, under the premise of having confirmed the opponent's position, this brute force breakthrough was the fastest and most convenient method.
