179: Battle of Doppelgangers

Han Fei stood in the center of the valley, and the surrounding Nature Magic quickly gathered, forming sturdy defensive barriers. The power of the earth, under his command, transformed into solid stone walls, blocking the path of the Demon Kings Avatar. At the same time, the elements of wind, guided by him, formed sharp wind blades in the valley, ready to strike the enemy at any moment. The Water Elementals of the river were awakened, turning into resilient water walls, encircling Han Fei and forming a flowing barrier.

The Demon Kings Avatar stood at the valley entrance, its eyes gleaming with crimson light, staring at Han Fei's defensive formation, a sneer of disdain playing on its lips. He slowly raised his greatsword, and dark flames ignited on the blade once more, as if endless darkness was gushing from the blade, ready to devour everything.

"No matter how you arrange your defenses, you cannot stop me," the Demon Kings Avatar said coldly, his voice filled with endless coercion. Before he finished speaking, he fiercely swung his greatsword, striking at Han Fei with incomparable power.

This strike seemed to carry the power to destroy the heavens and earth. Where the greatsword passed, dark cracks appeared in the air, as if space itself was tearing apart under the impact of this power. Han Fei immediately mobilized the Nature Magic in the valley, commanding the stone walls to meet this terrifying offensive.

The greatsword collided with the stone walls, producing a deafening roar. The stone walls rapidly crumbled before this destructive force, large chunks of rubble scattering, and Han Fei's first line of defense was almost instantly destroyed. However, as the stone walls collapsed, Han Fei's wind blade formation quickly activated, hundreds of sharp wind blades, like a torrential storm, slashed towards the Demon Kings Avatar.

The Demon Kings Avatar slightly turned his body, and dark flames surged from around him, forming a dark barrier that blocked the wind blades' attack. The wind blades struck the dark barrier, emitting a harsh sound, but these powerful wind blades were instantly swallowed by the endless dark power upon contact with the dark barrier, disappearing without a trace.

"These tricks of yours are useless against me," the Demon Kings Avatar said coldly. He suddenly accelerated, breaking through the wind blade formation, and charged directly at Han Fei.

Han Fei knew this was no ordinary enemy. He quickly chanted a spell, and the river water began to churn. Water Elementals gathered to form a giant Water Dragon, opening its mouth and roaring towards the Demon Kings Avatar. The Water Dragon's power, carrying the coldness and resilience of Water Elementals, attempted to entangle the Demon Kings Avatar, trapping him in a vortex of water.

Facing the Water Dragon, the Demon Kings Avatar showed no fear. He merely swung his greatsword lightly, and the dark flames on the blade instantly erupted, transforming into a black tornado that struck the Water Dragon's core. The two powerful forces collided in the air, producing a deafening roar.

The Water Dragon rapidly disintegrated under the impact of the dark flames, turning into countless scattered water droplets. Han Fei's defensive formation was once again destroyed. The Demon Kings Avatar's power was simply too immense, dismantling his carefully arranged defenses with almost no effort.

Han Fei felt his magic power rapidly draining, but he did not retreat. He knew that in such a desperate situation, any hesitation would lead to failure. He concentrated all his spiritual energy, beginning to guide the power from deep within the earth, hoping to counterattack at the last moment.

The Demon Kings Avatar approached step by step, each step causing the ground to tremble. Han Fei could feel that this enemy was brewing an even more terrifying attack. To withstand this impending destructive force, Han Fei had no choice but to release more Nature Magic.

The power of the earth once again gathered under Han Fei's summons. The ground suddenly split open, and a giant vine burst forth from underground, growing rapidly, attempting to entangle the Demon Kings Avatar. This vine, like a giant snake, wrapped tightly around the Demon Kings Avatar with endless toughness and strength.

However, the Demon Kings Avatar merely sneered, and the dark flames around his body erupted again, instantly incinerating the vine into ashes. Han Fei dared not delay; he continued to cast more Nature Magic, summoning giant rocks from the earth, attempting to trap the Demon Kings Avatar within them.

Giant rocks surged from all directions, attempting to surround the Demon Kings Avatar. However, the Demon Kings Avatar's power had reached an unimaginable level. He simply waved his hand, and the dark power pulverized these giant rocks, turning them into dust that scattered with the wind.

Han Fei felt his magic power rapidly depleting, but he knew he had to persevere. He gritted his teeth and once again cast a powerful Nature Magic – summoning a storm. He hoped to use the storm's power to disrupt the Demon Kings Avatar's offensive and buy himself more time.

Dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky. A storm formed under Han Fei's summons, with strong winds howling and lightning intertwining. The entire valley seemed to plunge into Chaos. The lightning in the storm, carrying powerful destructive force, struck directly at the Demon Kings Avatar.

However, the Demon Kings Avatar remained fearless. His dark flames transformed into a giant barrier, completely fending off the storm's power. The lightning struck the dark barrier, producing a violent roar, but it still could not penetrate the thick layer of darkness.

"Your magic ultimately poses no threat to me," the Demon Kings Avatar said coldly. He raised his greatsword, and the dark power on the blade began to condense, as if brewing an even more terrifying attack.

Han Fei realized that this strike would be devastating. He had to react quickly, otherwise, the entire valley, and even himself, would be completely destroyed by this power.

Han Fei took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm. He quickly concentrated his remaining magic power, preparing to unleash his final defensive measure – the ultimate barrier of nature.

As Han Fei chanted the spell, the trees, rocks, rivers, and even tiny dust particles in the air of the valley began to gather, forming a giant natural barrier. This barrier was not merely composed of a single element, but a Fusion of all elements in nature, forming an incredibly sturdy line of defense.

At the same time, the Demon Kings Avatar's attack reached its Peak. His greatsword gleamed with endless dark power, a power that seemed capable of devouring everything. The Demon Kings Avatar raised his greatsword, striking down at Han Fei's ultimate barrier with endless destructive power.

The two powerful forces met in the center of the valley, instantly erupting in a blinding flash of light. The entire valley trembled violently under the impact of this collision. Han Fei's ultimate barrier emitted a harsh sound under the Demon Kings Avatar's attack, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Han Fei gritted his teeth, doing his utmost to maintain the barrier's strength. However, he could feel that his magic power was nearing depletion, while the Demon Kings Avatar's attack showed no sign of weakening.

Just as Han Fei felt he could no longer sustain it, he suddenly felt a powerful Nature Magic surge from deep within the earth. This power was not only the power of nature, but also the Spiritual Qi in the valley responding to his call.

Han Fei realized this was his last chance. He poured all this power into the barrier. The barrier was greatly strengthened at this moment, finally withstanding the Demon Kings Avatar's attack.

The Demon Kings Avatar let out an angry roar, and the dark power intensified again. Han Fei felt his body was nearing its limit, his magic power almost depleted, but he still refused to give up.

"I cannot fall. I must hold on until the end." Han Fei muttered to himself. He knew that as long as he stood there, he absolutely could not let the Demon Kings Avatar defeat him.

The Demon Kings Avatar saw Han Fei still standing firm in the center of the battlefield, and the crimson light in his eyes grew even more intense. He gripped his greatsword tightly, and dark power surged from the blade like a tide. The surrounding air seemed to gradually solidify under the influence of this dark power.

"You have held on longer than I imagined, Han Fei, but that does not mean you can escape the arrangement of fate." The Demon Kings Avatar's voice was deep and cold, like a whisper from the depths of Hell.

Before he finished speaking, the Demon Kings Avatar suddenly exerted force, and his greatsword, carrying endless dark power, struck directly at Han Fei's ultimate barrier. As the blade descended, the dark power erupted in a strong shockwave. The entire valley shook violently under the impact of this power, cracks began to appear in the ground, and the surrounding rock walls collapsed under this immense force.

Han Fei felt the barrier gradually losing its support in the face of this power. He desperately tried to maintain the barrier's integrity, but the dark power was simply too strong. Finally, the barrier shattered under the Demon Kings Avatar's attack, its fragments dissipating into light in the air.

Without the protection of the barrier, Han Fei had almost no way to dodge the Demon Kings Avatar's dark shockwave. He reacted quickly, chanting a spell and summoning the winds of nature to swiftly carry him away from his original position, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

The Demon Kings Avatar's attack missed, and a deep crack was carved into the ground by the greatsword. Dark power subtly surged within the crack, as if it wanted to devour any creature that came near.

After Han Fei landed, the vines beneath his feet instantly grew, gently lowering him. Although he successfully avoided the fatal attack, his magic power was almost depleted, and his body felt exceptionally tired from the prolonged high-intensity battle.

"I must find a way... otherwise, this battle will be unwinnable." Han Fei pondered to himself. He knew that if he continued like this, he would only be gradually worn down by the Demon Kings Avatar.

Han Fei looked around. The Nature Magic in the valley was still powerful, but to counter the Demon Kings Avatar's dark power, he needed even stronger means.

The Demon Kings Avatar slowly turned, his gaze fixed on Han Fei, and his cold voice rang out again: "You can no longer escape, Han Fei. This battle will end here."

As soon as the Demon Kings Avatar finished speaking, the surrounding dark power suddenly condensed, forming a giant black vortex. Crimson light flickered in the center of the vortex, as if it connected to the abyss of Hell.

Han Fei felt a strong gravitational pull from the vortex, as if it wanted to swallow him whole. He immediately activated the remaining magic power in his body, casting a natural shield, attempting to resist this gravitational pull.

However, the vortex's power was too strong. The natural shield gradually deformed under its pull, even beginning to crack. Han Fei gritted his teeth, forcefully maintaining the shield's integrity, attempting to contend with this dark power.

“I cannot… be swallowed by this vortex,” Han Fei thought to himself, knowing that once he was drawn into the vortex, he would likely be trapped in endless darkness forever.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Han Fei. He realized that although the vortex was powerful, it still relied on the surrounding dark energy for sustenance. If he could cut off the source of these energies, he might find a chance to escape.

Han Fei quickly made a decision. He began to guide the natural forces in the valley, attempting to counter the dark energy of the vortex. The power of the earth rapidly converged under his guidance, forming a massive earthen wall, trying to block the vortex’s pull.

At the same time, Han Fei cast a Wind Spell, using the power of wind to gradually disperse the dark energy around the vortex, weakening its power.

The vortex gradually weakened under Han Fei’s dual assault, and its attractive force diminished. Han Fei seized this opportunity, exerted his strength, broke free from the vortex’s grasp, and quickly retreated.

The Demon Kings Avatar saw Han Fei successfully escape the vortex, and the crimson light in his eyes flickered, clearly surprised by Han Fei’s resilience.

“You can actually resist my Abyssal Vortex. It seems you do have some skill,” the Demon Kings Avatar said coldly, but his tone was still full of disdain.

Han Fei gasped for breath, secretly glad he had found a countermeasure in time. But he knew this didn’t mean he was safe; the Demon Kings Avatar clearly had more tricks up his sleeve.

“You should feel honored, because next, you will witness the true power of darkness,” the Demon Kings Avatar’s voice was like the biting frost of winter, cold and piercing.

As the Demon Kings Avatar’s voice fell, his figure suddenly blurred, as if melting into the surrounding darkness. Han Fei’s eyes widened, trying to find the Demon Kings Avatar’s trace, but the surrounding dark energy became exceptionally dense, almost completely enveloping him.

“This is… Dark Illusion Magic?” Han Fei was startled, knowing this was an extremely profound dark magic that allowed the caster to become invisible in darkness, and even create multiple Clones to confuse enemies.

Han Fei immediately raised his guard, knowing that in this situation, any slackness could lead to failure.

Suddenly, Han Fei felt a strong Killing Intent from behind him. He sharply turned and saw a dark greatsword charging straight for his face.

Han Fei quickly dodged sideways, but then he felt Killing Intent from the other side. He hastily raised his staff and cast a Wind Barrier, trying to block the attack.

However, the moment the greatsword struck the barrier, the barrier shattered without any resistance. Han Fei’s heart tightened, and he quickly retreated, but the greatsword was already close, leaving him almost no room to dodge.

At the critical moment, Han Fei used a Wind Spell to accelerate again, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. However, before he could stabilize himself, he saw more greatswords flying from all directions, as if the surrounding darkness was filled with endless enemies.

“Just how many Clones are there?” Han Fei exclaimed inwardly, but he knew this was not the time to think. He immediately mobilized the Nature Magic in the valley, trying to resist these fierce attacks.

Han Fei brandished his staff, and the rocks on the ground suddenly rose, forming solid stone walls, blocking the greatswords. The greatswords struck the stone walls, emitting dull thuds, but these stone walls were quickly shattered, and the greatswords continued to close in.

Han Fei understood that relying solely on defensive measures couldn't counter these attacks; he had to take the offensive and find the true Demon Kings Avatar.

He quickly chanted a spell, summoning a storm that swept through the surroundings, attempting to force out the enemies in the darkness.

However, these greatswords seemed completely unaffected by the storm; they continued to approach from all directions, and Han Fei’s situation became increasingly perilous.

“It seems I can only take a gamble,” Han Fei steeled his heart. He decided to concentrate all his remaining magic power for a powerful attack, hoping to hit the true Demon Kings Avatar.

He closed his eyes, concentrating his mind to sense the surrounding Qi. Although the surroundings were filled with dark energy, he could still feel the presence of Nature Magic. He decided to use the power of nature for his final counterattack.

“Nature’s Wrath!” Han Fei suddenly opened his eyes and chanted the spell.

As he chanted, the Nature Magic in the valley instantly erupted. The rocks on the ground, the wind in the air, the flowing river water, and even the lightning in the sky were all summoned by Han Fei, transforming into a world-destroying force that surged towards the dark enemies.

At this moment, the entire valley seemed to tremble under Han Fei’s magic. The power of nature formed a massive storm, forcing back all the dark energy.

The lightning in the storm rolled around like an enraged Dragon, striking the greatswords and shattering them one by one. Huge rocks fell from the sky, smashing into the darkness, destroying Clone after Clone.

However, the true Demon Kings Avatar still had not appeared.

Han Fei knew he couldn’t let down his guard; he had to find the true Demon Kings Avatar to end this battle.

Just then, Han Fei suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from above. He abruptly looked up and saw the Demon Kings Avatar’s figure finally appearing in the sky.

“Do you think this is enough to defeat me?” The Demon Kings Avatar’s voice was full of mockery. His body was surrounded by dense dark energy, an energy that seemed to devour all light.

“This is the true power of darkness! Now, feel its terror!” the Demon Kings Avatar roared, raising his greatsword with both hands. The dark energy, summoned by him, transformed into a massive black sword shadow, charging directly at Han Fei.

Han Fei felt unprecedented pressure; this power was simply too immense, almost making it impossible for him to breathe. He knew he had to use every last bit of his strength, otherwise, he would not escape this calamity.

“This is my last chance!” Han Fei resolved inwardly. He concentrated all his magic power and chanted one of the most powerful spells in nature.

“Nature’s Wrath, heed my call, grant me supreme power!” As Han Fei chanted, the ground began to shake violently, and the power of the earth fully awakened at this moment.

Giant tree roots suddenly rose from underground, shooting up like the arms of the earth, directly at the Demon Kings Avatar. These tree roots carried the power of the earth, indestructible, as if they could penetrate all obstacles.

At the same time, the lightning in the sky was also summoned. Bolts of lightning, like furious Dragons, struck directly at the Demon Kings Avatar’s sword shadow, attempting to shatter it.

The power of nature reached its Peak at this moment. Han Fei poured his last remaining magic power into this strike, knowing it was his only chance.

“No matter what, I will stop you!” Han Fei roared, gripping his staff tightly, pouring all his power into it. The staff erupted with intense light at this moment.

Giant tree roots, raging lightning, endless storms—all forces converged at this moment, charging directly towards the Demon Kings Avatar’s sword shadow.

The two forces met in the air, unleashing an unprecedented shockwave. The entire valley plunged into Chaos in that instant; the ground shook violently, the surrounding rock walls collapsed one after another, and the river water surged uncontrollably.

Han Fei felt his inner power reaching its limit at this moment; he could barely hold on. But he still clutched his staff tightly, gritting his teeth, holding onto the last shred of hope.

The Demon Kings Avatar’s sword shadow and the Nature Magic collided violently in the air, emitting a deafening roar. The entire space seemed to twist under the impact of this power, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Han Fei’s body was constantly forced back by the shockwave. He felt that his magic power was completely depleted, and his body had become incredibly weak due to the excessive exertion.

“Am I… really going to fail here?” A hint of despair rose in Han Fei’s heart, but he immediately suppressed the thought.

“No! I cannot give up!” Han Fei roared, suddenly exerting his last ounce of strength, injecting the last bit of magic power into his staff.

As Han Fei chanted, the underground tree roots once again surged upward, directly attacking the Demon Kings Avatar. These tree roots seemed to have a life of their own, carrying the earth’s fury, striking directly at the Demon Kings Avatar’s sword shadow.

The Demon Kings Avatar’s sword shadow finally showed cracks at this moment, and the dark energy gradually weakened under the natural attack. Han Fei saw hope; he knew this was his last chance.

“Break for me!” Han Fei roared, and the light on his staff instantly erupted. All the Nature Magic concentrated at this moment, charging directly towards the Demon Kings Avatar.

With a loud bang, the Demon Kings Avatar’s sword shadow finally collapsed at this moment. The dark energy scattered, dissipating in the air like smoke.

The Demon Kings Avatar was hit by this force, his body violently shook, and the crimson light in his eyes dimmed at this moment. His figure swayed in the air, as if he could collapse at any moment.

“You actually… broke my Sword of Darkness…” The Demon Kings Avatar’s voice held disbelief, but he quickly regained his composure.

“But your power is exhausted, Han Fei. This battle is still not over,” the Demon Kings Avatar said coldly, and dark energy once again gathered around his body.

Han Fei felt his magic power completely depleted; he could barely stand. But he knew this battle was not over, and he couldn’t fall.

“Even so, I will not give up,” Han Fei said firmly. He gripped his staff tightly, and even though his magic power was exhausted, he still refused to retreat.

The Demon Kings Avatar snorted coldly, gripping his greatsword, and dark energy condensed again. This time, he would not give Han Fei any more chances, deciding to use his strongest attack to completely end this battle.
