207: Dragon Head Demon
“Who am I?”
The throat beneath the person’s face moved up and down. “Hahahaha, a good question, Lu Ze. You can see with your own eyes, who am I?”
After the words fell, the person raised his right hand and slowly placed it behind him.
“Clang!”
With a slight sound, the person’s arm lifted slightly, then dropped forward.
A sword also appeared under the light!
Lu Ze looked over, his eyes narrowing sharply!
Fierce Evil Broadsword?!
The sword in that person’s eyes was all too familiar to Lu Ze; it was none other than his Fierce Evil Broadsword!
Not only was the color identical, but even the slightly recessed patterns carved on it were exactly the same.
Lu Ze tightened his right hand, gripping the sword at his waist. If he hadn’t been able to feel the unique Qi of the Fierce Evil Broadsword in his hand, Lu Ze would have truly thought his own sword had been taken!
“An illusion? An illusion to challenge myself?”
Lu Ze now understood in his heart that this place was probably a replica of himself.
It would have his methods, and even his fighting habits would be exactly the same.
Being able to fight “himself” and defeat “himself” is a huge Breakthrough for practitioners.
“Interesting.”
Lu Ze also drew his sword, shaking the blade, and with a “buzz,” the sword hummed incessantly.
The blue Spiritual Qi around him immediately erupted, rising wildly and completely enveloping Lu Ze!
From a distance, it seemed as if Lu Ze was trapped in blue flames, extremely dazzling.
“It’s an illusion to challenge oneself.”
The person whose face was covered by black mist spoke, “However, Lu Ze, you might still not understand yourself well enough.”
After saying that, the person took a step, and his entire body stepped out of the black mist into the light, his face fully revealed.
And the moment Lu Ze saw this person’s face clearly, his Spiritual Qi stagnated, and his pupils constricted sharply!
He saw!
As the light shone down, the Xuanyuan City Demon Subduing Division uniform, identical to Lu Ze’s, was topped with a green Dragon head!
The low growls and roars mixed in were also coming from this green Dragon head!
The Dragon eyes were slightly open, and an Aura unique to Yao Beasts instantly spewed out, permeating the space around Lu Ze.
From Lu Ze’s Spirit Eye, this “person” in front of him was completely occupied by purple Qi, clearly a Yao Beast!
But how could there be a Yao Beast here?
Could it be that the test of these Three Thousand Paths was like this?
“Lu Ze.”
The Yao Beast exhaled Qi, “Now, do you see clearly what you are?”
Lu Ze did not speak, merely holding his sword, controlling his Spiritual Qi around him to resist the purple Qi.
Seeing Lu Ze remain silent, the Dragon-headed Yao Beast merely chuckled, “Never mind. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to examine yourself. There will always be a battle between you and me. Now, come!”
“Bang!”
No sooner had the words fallen than the Dragon-headed Yao Beast stomped the ground, its entire body shooting out like a cannonball, closing in on Lu Ze in an instant!
Its speed was far greater than anyone Lu Ze had ever fought!
Lu Ze raised his sword, clashing with the incoming sword.
“Bang!”
“Boom!”
After a crisp clang, the Aura belonging to the two instantly collided and exploded violently!
A shockwave of Qi pushed both Lu Ze and the Yao Beast back.
Lu Ze leaped, using the momentum in the air to stabilize himself, and just as he was about to look towards the Yao Beast’s direction, he heard a sword hum from behind him.
“Buzz!”
“Whoosh!”
A powerful Saber Qi, accompanied by the hum of the sword, like the scythe of a Hellish fiend, mercilessly slashed towards Lu Ze’s head!
Lu Ze immediately made a decision, turning slightly to dodge the blow.
“Whoosh!”
As the Yao Beast’s sword missed, Lu Ze seized the opportunity. Lightning and fire suddenly appeared on his sword, slashing towards the Yao Beast’s exposed neck.
But the Yao Beast reacted extremely quickly, immediately turning its sword to the side, clashing with Lu Ze’s sword.
“Boom, puff, puff!”
The power of the two clashed again, and a shockwave of Qi instantly burst forth.
A fierce wind whipped up, and the entire space began to tremble.
The clothes of both were rustling loudly in the wind, but beyond the light, the dense black mist, like an unerasable shadow, remained unmoved amidst such strong winds.
The moment Lu Ze and the Yao Beast’s swords clashed, he had already sensed something amiss.
Although this Yao Beast also used a sword, and its attack patterns and habits were very similar to Lu Ze’s, it did not have the Different Lightning.
Lu Ze lowered his eyes and saw that the Different Lightning and Different Fire of the slumbering lightning had begun to entwine his hands. The blade of the Fierce Evil Broadsword, with the addition of the slumbering lightning’s power, also exuded an impressive Aura.
And this Aura continued to climb, already suppressing the Yao Beast in front of him.
A hint of doubt arose in the Yao Beast’s Dragon eyes, “What is this? Why don’t I have it?”
Lu Ze’s sword in hand retreated slightly, then, with the force of a thousand jin, he injected power and slashed towards the Yao Beast’s sword again.
“Bang!”
The two collided, creating a huge roar.
The Yao Beast was no match for Lu Ze and could only retreat with the momentum.
“Whoosh!”
The strong wind slowly died down, and one person and one Yao Beast stood at the far left and far right of the illuminated area, gripping their swords tightly, confronting each other without moving.
The Yao Beast remained still because its heart was filled with doubt. It seemed to not quite understand why Lu Ze had Different Lightning, and why that Different Lightning was also accompanied by Different Fire.
Lu Ze remained still because Guan Zizai’s voice came from his ear.
“Master, this area is indeed a formation that simulates an identical version of yourself, but this Yao Beast in front of you is not you, Master. This is very strange.”
Lu Ze scrutinized the Dragon-headed Yao Beast up and down, also frowning.
If it were truly identical to Lu Ze, then there would indeed be a need for a fight.
After all, no matter how strong one’s cultivation or how many methods one possessed, there would always be flaws. Fighting “oneself” in such a direct manner could quickly reveal one’s weaknesses, and during future cultivation, one could make up for them, making oneself stronger.
However, this one only possessed the same sword cultivation as Lu Ze; in other aspects, it had nothing. In that case, there was no need to fight again.
“Where is the formation core?”
Lu Ze asked in his mind. He now only wanted to break the formation core, leave this place, and see if there were any other Legacies.
Guan Zizai was about to point out the location of the formation core when she saw the Yao Beast opposite move.
“Clang!”
The Yao Beast suddenly sheathed its sword. With the sword at its waist, it slowly walked to the center of the illuminated area, forming hand seals. Golden light erupted and fell to the ground.
“Buzz!”
From beyond the nine heavens, a tremor sounded.
The black mist outside the light dissipated, and the light also began to slowly subside and recede.
The Dragon-headed Yao Beast looked at Lu Ze and said, “The time is not right today. I am not yet you, and fighting you would benefit neither of us. You should go. Someone is naturally waiting for you ahead.”
As the words fell, the Dragon-headed Yao Beast’s figure also fragmented with the light, dissipating into space.
