In the following battles, Qingluan would break through the thunder sound barrier and escape whenever she encountered danger. After several times, Luffy's injuries did not get worse.
On the contrary, the three talisman masters in the Divine Appearance Stage behind them seemed to be unable to hold on. After breaking through the thunder sound barrier several times in succession, their bodies were slightly injured.
"Damn it, why is that kid okay!"
The three pursuers had no idea why Luffy, who was only in the Spirit Sea stage, could freely shuttle through the Thunder Sound Barrier without dying.
With Luffy's level of cultivation, penetrating the Thunder Sound Barrier so many times should have been enough to kill him, but the facts went against common sense.
The three of them couldn't help but focus their eyes on Ye Li. Seeing that the water spiritual energy emanating from Ye Li's hands was becoming increasingly dense, they couldn't help but suspect that the water spiritual energy released by Ye Li was not only healing Luffy's injuries, but was also reducing the impact that Luffy suffered when he passed through the Thunder Sound Barrier.
On the other side, Totesa and Dole had huddled together with their backs to each other. Under the siege of the crowd, their defense became increasingly fragile, and they could only hold on with difficulty at this moment.
Time passed little by little, and the attack and defense between the two sides had lasted for a quarter of an hour. The three of them forced Ye Li to circle the islands several times.
Whenever Ye Li encountered a crisis, he would try to break through the thunder sound barrier to escape, and the three of them could not catch him no matter what they did.
The three people were so furious that they had no idea how long they would have to chase the enemy. However, in their rage, they suddenly came up with an idea.
One of the three stopped without any warning, and while Ye Li wasn't noticing, he chose to fly around the island in the opposite direction.
The remaining two continued to attack and chase, using talismans to force Ye Li to move around the island, unable to turn around and move closer to the island.
Soon, the two forced Ye Li to circle the island half a circle again. After Ye Li turned a corner, he was suddenly attacked from the front. The Divine Appearance Stage Talisman Master, who had just circled half a circle in the opposite direction, had now circled to the front and attacked directly from the front.
Ye Li was so shocked that he had no time to break through the barrier of thunder sound and escape. He could only dive and fall into the water again.
This time the three of them seemed to be prepared and landed on the sea surface immediately. The soul of one of them landed on the sea surface, and the sea water immediately parted, revealing Ye Li in the middle.
Countless water hoses were wrapped around Qingluan's body, binding him tightly, and it was finally unable to escape.
"You bastard, let me see how you can escape now."
The talisman master who blocked Qingluan's way laughed triumphantly and said that he was extremely excited after finally catching the two after chasing them for so long.
Just when he was about to kill Luffy first, he suddenly realized that Luffy, who was sitting on Qingluan's back, had a stiff expression and looked like a dummy.
"You... what's that next to you? It's an illusion condensed by the power of water!!!"
When the talisman master saw Luffy's stiff face, he realized that Luffy in front of him was not his real self at all, but just an illusion condensed by the power of water.
They had just thought that Ye Li was using the power of water to heal Luffy, or to reduce the damage Luffy suffered when he passed through the Thunder Sound Barrier.
"You used a fake person to deceive us for so long, you damn bastard."
The two divine masters who were chasing from behind also came in front of Ye Li. After seeing Luffy's face, they also noticed something strange.
"The water spirit energy you continuously inject into your hands is not for healing at all, but to make the water illusion in your hands more solid, like a physical entity."
The talisman master at the Divine Appearance Stage finally saw the truth, and his expression became extremely angry.
Ye Li was tied up by three people and couldn't move at all. The strength of the three people was far beyond what he could contend with.
"Hey, you just realized it now, it's probably a little late."
A smile appeared on Ye Li's face. He was very satisfied that this plan could hold back three Divine Appearance Stage masters for such a long time.
Relying on this dummy condensed with water-based spiritual energy, Ye Li completely concealed the truth from the three people. From a distance, it was difficult for the three people to detect any problem with Luffy's back.
Ye Li continuously injected water-based spiritual energy just to make the mannequin condensed by the water-based spiritual energy more solid.
Of course, he acted as if he was healing Luffy's injuries, so the three of them had no doubts until they caught Ye Li.
"Where on earth did that brat go? When did you two break up!!!"
A master with the divine statue level asked Ye Li while roaring.
Ye Li glanced at him and said, "You haven't figured it out yet? Your brain is too useless!"
Ye Li said sarcastically.
The other party was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and said, "It was when you fell into the sea for the first time, right!
I said that although the explosion was strong, it didn't seem like it could wash you into the sea. You deliberately chose to fall into the sea in order to replace that guy!"
Ye Li laughed loudly and said, "Well, you are right, Luffy did separate from me at that time.
When you were not noticing and were all chasing me, Luffy took the opportunity to go ashore. I think he should have found the person he was looking for by now."
Ye Li's laughter continued to stimulate the three people, and they felt as if they were being played like monkeys.
After chasing a false target for such a long time and finally catching up with it, I realized that it was all in vain and the important target was not here.
"Why bother talking to him? Just kill this guy and let's go after the guy who escaped. I just hope he hasn't found Haiyuan Fusheng yet."
As a talisman master spoke, a golden talisman had already condensed in his hand, which turned into a long sword and slashed towards Ye Li.
Ye Li knew that if he was hit by the long sword, both he and Qingluan would be cut in half, and no matter how strong his life was, he would die.
Just as he was looking at the attacking long sword unwillingly and could only wait for death, an old and majestic voice came with the wind.
"stop!"
Along with the sound, there came a solidified force of wind.
This ball of wind force hit the golden knife. Although it was just light air, it instantly shattered the golden knife into pieces.
After shattering the golden knife, this ball of air instantly tore off all the water hoses wrapped around Ye Li, and Ye Li instantly regained his freedom.
The four of them were startled and looked in the direction where the sound came from. An old man with white hair and beard and a wrinkled face was standing beside them with a frown on his brow. His eyes were full of anger.
