NOVPUB"The methods of this Mirror Image Person are exactly the same as mine, even the combat style and practical experience are the same..."
Su Changkong grew increasingly alarmed as he fought.
This Mirror Image Person was essentially another Su Changkong, mastering the same cultivation techniques and martial arts skills as him, engaging with it made Su Changkong feel an unprecedented level of difficulty and helplessness!
Any attack was thoroughly anticipated by the opponent, who could counter it accordingly.
"Boom!"
Su Changkong’s Iron-Cutting Sword in his hand chopped down again, the opposing Mirror Image Person reached out a hand, firmly grasping the blade and stopping it from advancing even slightly. His skin turned red, his heartbeat thundered like a drum, akin to a humanoid ferocious beast, activating the Giant Whale Body Technique!
"Hiss!"
Having activated the Giant Whale Body Technique, the Mirror Image Person, holding the seemingly diminutive Iron-Cutting Sword, chopped it down, its force amplified by the Martial Saint-level physique, potent enough to split mountains and part seas!
"Crack!"
Su Changkong’s bones thundered, his True Blood erupted, and he too activated the Giant Whale Body Technique, furiously smashing his fist against the blade. Amidst the collision, the force from the punch and the blade qi transformed into a wave of destruction that spread in all directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two fiercely exchanged blows, with fists, palms, and swords all striking at once, each collision akin to two ferocious beasts fighting. Within the area of their battle, if not for being inside the Mirror Heaven and Earth, everything would have reverted to chaos.
"No good... continuing like this won’t resolve the fight; it’ll just use up my True Yuan for nothing!"
Su Changkong felt a sinking feeling, he ultimately had his concerns, unlike that Mirror Image Person who could strike without any reservations, willing to fight even to mutual destruction. Under these circumstances, continuing the fight would likely result in a pyrrhic victory at best.
"Are there more Mirror Image Persons?"
What further alarmed Su Changkong was that as he struggled indeterminately with the Mirror Image Person, in the distinctly white space not too far away, another Mirror Image Person began to take shape faintly!
In this Mirror Shadow Space, the challenge wasn’t just to defeat one Mirror Image Person, but two, or even more!
Facing one Mirror Image Person who was proficient in all his cultivation techniques and martial arts skills was already a challenge; facing two, or three of himself, how could there be any chance of victory?
"First, let’s retreat!"
Su Changkong knew clearly, it was not possible to pass the test in the Mirror Shadow Space in one go. Currently outmatched, it was better to plan for the long term with three whole months of prep time, no need to rush for a conclusive battle!
Thinking so, Su Changkong dashed towards the edges of the Mirror Shadow Space and collided with a mirror.
"Puff!"
Su Changkong felt the scenery changing around him, returning to the circular space surrounded by mirrors, and the Mirror Image Person had disappeared without a trace.
The seated Shi Jingtian, barely noticeably, curved the corners of his lips, clearly anticipating that Su Changkong and the others would flee the Mirror Shadow Space in a similar disgrace
"Elder Blade, this difficulty... it’s really a bit much!"
Xia Yanyi and Hong Zhenxiang had already come out as well, Xia Yanyi said with a bitter smile.
"Fighting against a copy of yourself that’s exactly the same, how can you fight that? And it’s several against one!"
Hong Zhenxiang scratched his head as well, deeply troubled.
Su Changkong also felt helpless; this difficulty was indeed great. It wasn’t like fighting a martial artist far beyond your own realm, but fighting a ’Mirror Image Person’ with the same capabilities as yourself, that was truly the toughest challenge!
You can defy a Martial Saint, considered the strongest under Martial Saints? Your opponent can also defy Martial Saints, the strongest under Martial Saints, and several are ganging up on you!
"This is just too unreasonable."
Hong Zhenxiang murmured, in the Mirror Shadow Space, he possessed Demon Art and martial arts skills, and the Mirror Image Person was exactly the same as him; whatever he knew, it also knew!
"What if... I break through to Martial Saint level in the Mirror Shadow Space, would I stand a chance then?"
Hong Zhenxiang muttered to himself.
"It’s not that simple; the difficulty of this Mirror Heaven and Earth is adjusted according to the cultivation realm. If you break through and become a Martial Saint, the difficulty will definitely increase accordingly, making things worse instead of better."
Xia Yanyi immediately refuted.
Indeed, for a martial artist with Divine Seed, reincarnated as a Martial Saint like Wei Shengxin, one could become a Saint on the spot whenever one wanted. If simply becoming a Saint on the spot could get you through the challenges of the Mirror Shadow Space, that would be too easy.
The most likely scenario is you become a Saint on the spot, and the Mirror Image Person would do the same; in essence, nothing changes!
"Damn it! Damn it! This Mirror Shadow Space is simply unbeatable!"
Meanwhile, as more people reluctantly burst out from it, a visibly distorted man in blue clothing, disheveled and frustrated, cursed incessantly.
"It’s Liu Changqing from the Liu Clan."
Xia Yanyi informed Su Changkong.
Before the arrival of Su Changkong and his two companions, already nine people had reached this final challenge, undoubtedly all being exceptional and talented individuals from their respective nations, mostly reincarnated Martial Saints!
As time passed, inevitably more people would arrive.
However, Liu Changqing’s mentality seemed somewhat impacted; this was his tenth attempt at challenging the Mirror Shadow Space, yet all had been in vain.
As a reincarnated Martial Saint, he had always progressed swiftly and irresistibly in his cultivation, hardly facing much setback. But in this Mirror Shadow Space, whether you are a martial artist of ordinary birth or a genius with Bloodline Regression, it treated everyone without distinction!
"This is just too disgusting! My mirror image directly refined the Divine Seed and became a Saint on the spot!"
Another young man in green clothes who had just come out of the Mirror Shadow Space cursed loudly.
He was a reincarnated Martial Saint from the Upper Three Kingdoms, who could refine the Divine Seed at any moment to become a Saint on the spot.
But what caused the corners of the young man’s mouth to twitch was that his mirrored projection in the Mirror Shadow Space could also become a Saint on the spot; he tried to grapple with his Mirror Image Person, but as the battle prolonged, the opponent directly became a Saint, forcing him to flee without hesitation from the Mirror Shadow Space, lest he get wiped out!
