Chapter 288: Heart Demon! Nightmare Beast! (1/2)
“Oi! Cheng Yu! You scoundrel! Can you hear me? If you can, get your ass back in here!” Seeing Cheng Yu had ignored her and was still fighting frantically, Tian Xue shouted out again.
“This b***h, can’t she see me fighting with my other self?” Cheng Yu was clearly fighting with his other self and yet she kept on disturbing his concentration. This caused Cheng Yu to be extremely angry.
However, Cheng Yu didn’t know that only he was able to see the other him. Tian Xue and Tian Xing could not see it at all. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have kept on bothering him.
Cheng Yu continued to ignore them. The other him not only fought the same way as him, it even knew all the sequence of his movements. In addition, his injuries had yet to fully recover. Having exchanged over a hundred moves, Cheng Yu had already started to be at a disadvantage.
“Senior sister, we should just wait for senior brother. Senior brother seems to have run into some troubles.” Although he felt that Cheng Yu’s behavior was very strange, Tian Xing could see from Cheng Yu’s grave expression that the situation wasn’t as simple as what they thought it to be. They should let Cheng Yu handle the situation on hand peacefully.
“We must be cursed. Why would we reach such an odd place for no reason.” Both of them were helpless and could only sit inside the Mountain River Diagram, looking at Cheng Yu.
“Primeval Chaos Slash!” Cheng Yu was truly angered by the other him. No matter what skills he used, the other him would always be able to break it. This became a headache for him as it was like fighting a sure-to-lose battle.
With the imitation being repelled back, Cheng Yu exploded forth with all his strength, ruthlessly slashing down.
“Primeval Chaos Slash!” Being forced back, similar to Cheng Yu, the imitation also used the same technique to counter the incoming attack.
Boom! Both swords clashed into each other, causing an intense explosion to happen as they were both jolted back.
“Die!” Cheng Yu yelled. The other Cheng Yu’s strength and actions were totally the same as the original one. If this continues on, it will never end!
“Two Dragons Attacking Bead!” This time, it was the imitation that initiated the attack. Two dragons soared up, roaring. It caused the surroundings to jerk before it charged towards Cheng Yu.
“What!” Cheng Yu turned pale. Ever since he discovered the Arts of Derivation From All Living Things, this was the first time he experienced the same attack from it. Although he saw the Arts of Derivation From All Living Things in the Obsessed Palace before, those were just bits of it.
But now, this attack from the imitation actually contained the same might as his and not something that was comparable to just a thread of spiritual qi.
Looking at the incoming two dragons roar, Cheng Yu did not have any time to execute a similar technique and could only receive the attack head-on.
“Firmament Shield!” Cheng Yu yelled. The sword point of the Purple Light Sword immediately lighted up as the qi on Cheng Yu rapidly coagulated on it. Very quickly, it turned into an enormous vortex shield in front of Cheng Yu.
Boom! The two dragon image collided into the qi shield, exploding out.
Pu! Once again, Cheng Yu was exploded out. Although the qi shield had blocked the majority of the attack, the force of the explosion was not any weak. Furthermore, being at such a point-blank distance, he was jolted by the full force of the explosion impact.
“God damn it. This is the first time I was attacked by my own signature move. No wonder all my opponent looked so miserable. Even I couldn’t defend against it.” Cheng Yu sighed at the might of his signature move and at the same time also for his patheticness. Although the imitation wasn’t the real him and was formed from an illusion, it was still able to execute his techniques like a genuine one.
Therefore, to Cheng Yu, it was like he was being defeated by himself.
“Primeval Chaos Thousand Chop!” While Cheng Yu was still sighing in regret, the imitation erupted with another attack.
“Damn it! It’s endless!” Cheng Yu was shocked. Without delay, he prepared to defend against it.
“Senior sister! Do you think senior brother is really fighting against an enemy?” When Tian Xing saw how intense Cheng Yu was even when he was fighting against the air, so much that it could be said to be desperate, he was drowned in admiration.
“Who knows! Acting so mysteriously. He’s just going crazy!” Tian Xue was angered but when she saw Cheng Yu had gotten injured again, she couldn’t help but started to worry about him.
“Senior sister, do you think senior brother had run into someone invisible?” Tian Xing questioned.
“What invisible! Nonsense. If that person were invisible, how could this scoundrel not be able to tell?” Tian Xue felt that the possibility of it was close to none. However, the current Cheng Yu seemed to be fighting against an invisible person. But if so, how was he able to spot his opponent?
“You can’t be sure though. Senior brother is so strong. What we can’t see, doesn’t mean senior brother can’t.” Tian Xing spoke.
“If it’s so, we can’t do much to aid him. Truly vexing!” Tian Xue spoke irritatedly.
“This invisible man seems to possess a strength even stronger than the senior brother.” Tian Xing commented worriedly.
In his opinion, to be able to injure Cheng Yu meant that it must be a group of enemies. Otherwise, if it were a one on one battle, Cheng Yu would certainly be able to easily defeat his opponent.
Even the black gown man they had met a few days ago. Although that person possessed the strength that surpassed cultivators in a similar realm, compared to Cheng Yu, he was still somewhat lacking.
Yet, the current Cheng Yu was actually being beaten up by the ‘air’. Seem like the invisible opponent of his was truly not normal.
