Chapter 269 - 267: The Battle Between the Real and Fake Xiao Ye

Chapter 269: Chapter 267: The Battle Between the Real and Fake Xiao Ye

"Whimper!"

Little White, who was under the duel arena, looked at Xiao Ye, then at the other ’Xiao Ye’, tilting its head and blinking in confusion.

"Is this the challenger of the eighth trial?"

Xiao Ye, as if seeing another self, ascended onto the duel arena and stood across from him.

"How is this possible!" Xiao Ye was shocked as he looked over the opponent, finding the situation absurd.

This youth’s demeanor, height, appearance, and attire were all exactly like his, except the eyes were very cold, devoid of any emotions.

Even if there was someone in the world who looked exactly like him, it was impossible for them to replicate the Flame Saber, right?

Therefore, Xiao Ye ruled out the possibility that this person was one of the Young Talents who entered the cavern; they must be a creation of this strange Duel Arena.

"Hmph, you could mimic my appearance and weapons, but can you also mimic my strength?"

Xiao Ye roared loudly, his eyes fiercely bright, not holding back an inch of his strength. All three Xuandans erupted simultaneously, unleashing a powerful force that surged violently, piercing through to the Nine Heavens.

Xiao Ye was like an erupting volcano, his formidable presence unparalleled, ravaging the entire duel arena, which trembled under this power.

Boom!

As soon as Xiao Ye made his move, he unleashed the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist at full power. Twenty-four Domineering Dragons filled the void, their roars shaking the Nine Desolates, rushing towards the other ’Xiao Ye’.

The ’Xiao Ye’ had his black hair dancing wildly, an aura as terrifying as his own surging to the Nine Heavens, showing no weakness, standing on the arena like an invincible War God.

At that moment, he moved. Facing the twenty-four incoming Domineering Dragon Qi, he swung his fists, the dazzling fist light reaching straight to the Nine Heavens, also unleashing the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist.

And even more shocking was that this ’Xiao Ye’ produced a whole twenty-seven Domineering Dragon Qi with his punches!

Rumble!

Two fierce and unparalleled fist skills, each with their mutations, clashed on the duel arena. The terrifying power stirred up, reaching skyward with an unstoppable momentum, and a series of massive explosions resounded one after another.

Instantly, frightening shockwaves lashed out in all directions, blocked by the towering light screens surrounding the arena.

Pfft!

The horrifying force, like a breached flood, slammed brutally onto Xiao Ye, sending him flying bodily, his chest caved in, several ribs broken, plummeting heavily to the base of the arena.

"Dammit, did I see a ghost or what!" Xiao Ye spat out blood, staring dumbly at the distant figure, his mind in a daze.

The physical pain was nothing compared with the shock in his heart.

He could sense that ’Xiao Ye’ on the duel arena had the same cultivation level as him and also knew the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, even reaching the Highest Realm, able to produce twenty-seven Domineering Dragon Qi at once, a realm he longed for.

After knocking Xiao Ye away, the ’Xiao Ye’ on the arena returned to the darkness and disappeared.

It took quite a while for Xiao Ye to gradually calm down.

He swiftly took healing pills from his Space Ring, swallowed them down, and started to tend to his injuries while pondering his next move.

To get through this eighth trial and receive the treasure, he would not give up easily.

The Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist at its highest realm was extremely horrifying and could rival a Seventh Grade Combat Technique.

"This Duel Arena is very bizarre, it can definitely replicate the Combat Techniques I use," Xiao Ye’s eyes twinkled, a decision made in his heart.

In order to overpower the highest realm of Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, the extreme attack technique Blood Battle Eight Directions was needed, and this Saber Technique had not been used in the challenge, perhaps it could defeat the opponent.

With this thought, Xiao Ye started healing his wounds with all his might.

The location of this Duel Arena was extremely special; apart from Xiao Ye, there was no second person to arrive.

It must said, the healing pills from any random city in the True Spirit Continent were surprisingly effective, and in just six days, Xiao Ye’s severe injuries were almost completely healed.

And this battle also gave Xiao Ye a special inspiration on how to perfect his Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist.

But these feelings were very fleeting, hard for Xiao Ye to grasp.

"If I fight him once more, perhaps I could cultivate the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist to the Highest Realm!" With this thought, excitement filled Xiao Ye’s face.

The other ’Xiao Ye’ was like a living teacher, which in itself was a generous reward.

"Continue the challenge!" Xiao Ye stood tall and charged onto the arena.

The moment Xiao Ye stepped onto the arena, the first puppet challenger appeared, its strength merely at the First Transition Xuanwu Realm, and was blown away by Xiao Ye’s move.

The second, third, until the seventh puppet, Xiao Ye emerged victorious against all.

Tap!

The ’Xiao Ye’ dressed in black, wielding the Flame Saber, appeared and ascended the duel arena.

Xiao Ye didn’t immediately use the Blood Battle Eight Directions, but once again used Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, battling fiercely and closely observing the opponent’s punching technique.

Rumble!

Two figures kept darting around, Xiao Ye, overwhelmed by his opponent’s savage offensive, spat big mouthfuls of blood, but his eyes grew brighter.

"Yes! It’s this feeling!"

Xiao Ye’s heart was somewhat excited, his understanding of the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist growing stronger, involuntarily imitating the other ’Xiao Ye’s punching style.

Rumble rumble!

After dozens of times, Xiao Ye threw a punch, and the surging force turned into twenty-seven strands of Domineering Dragon Qi, rolling forward with crushing momentum.

The same Fist Skill collided and then vanished into the void.

"Success!" Xiao Ye trembled and his face was immediately filled with wild joy.

Having reached the Highest Realm of the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, Xiao Ye’s strength soared again, now fully able to contend with the ’Xiao Ye’ before him.

"Hehe, next, taste my blade!"

With a cold shout from Xiao Ye, he swiftly drew the Flame Saber, his figure soaring into the sky, with the three Xuandans within him bursting into a fiercely radiant light, pouring terrifying strength into the Flame Saber.

Xiao Ye’s momentum climbed to its peak, and his entire being seemed to transform into a Supreme Divine Blade, exuding a threatening sharpness.

"Blood Battle Eight Directions!"

Xiao Ye, suspended in mid-air, slashed downwards with the Flame Saber.

A thousand zhang-long grand Sword Light, carrying an unstoppable force, like a divine punishment, shattered the void and fiercely struck towards the ’Xiao Ye’ on the Duel Arena.

Swoosh!

At this moment, the ’Xiao Ye’ on the Duel Arena also moved, drawing his Flame Saber in a reverse grip, and parrying the attack with his own, the terrifying Sword Light flashing out, at least two thousand zhang in length, sweeping up from bottom to top and engulfing the heavens, an invincible blade force that drowned everything.

Rumble, rumble!

The two Sword Lights collided, the unparalleled force bursting in all directions, stirring up a storm,

Swoosh!

Xiao Ye’s assault was directly destroyed, the remnant Sword Light grazed Xiao Ye’s body as it flew upwards, slashing a huge hole in the Duel Arena.

"Shit!" Xiao Ye from above the heavens let out a cold sweat and couldn’t help but curse loudly.

The other ’Xiao Ye’ was also capable of Blood Battle Eight Directions, and had already achieved Perfection Level. That kind of power made even Xiao Ye’s heart tremble.

Swoosh!

The ’Xiao Ye’ on the Duel Arena, holding the Flame Saber, ascended to the heavens, pressuring towards Xiao Ye.

"I surrender!" Xiao Ye said with a wry smile, quickly stepping down from the Duel Arena.

His Blood Battle Eight Directions was only at Great Success Realm, and even with the Highest Realm of Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, it was impossible to defeat the opponent. If the fight continued, he might be split by the blade.

Previously, he was confident he could save his life when competing with the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist, but not with the Blood Battle Eight Directions. He could only give up.

"Really unwilling to admit defeat, if the gap wasn’t too wide, I really want to fight him a few more times, to cultivate my Blood Battle Eight Directions to the Perfection Level too." After Xiao Ye healed his injuries, he walked out of the Duel Arena with Little White.

"What’s going on!"

When Xiao Ye stepped out of the Duel Arena and turned back, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes, and Little White on his shoulder looked puzzled.

Because behind him, there was emptiness; the Duel Arena had disappeared into thin air, like a false dream.

"What a strange place, this world is very complex, just with the existence of that Duel Arena, it doesn’t seem like something a Void Martial Realm Expert could create." Xiao Ye thought to himself.

Although Xiao Ye had not yet advanced to the Void Martial Realm, he was very clear about this point and believed that others had noticed as well.

"Wu wu!"

At this moment, Little White tugged at Xiao Ye’s robe and pointed his paw towards a certain direction.

"Are you saying, the Duel Arena has appeared in that direction?" Xiao Ye, who had spent a long time with Little White, could sometimes understand his intentions.

Little White nodded desperately.

"Little guy, even if I find the Duel Arena again, what’s the use? The outcome will still be the same. Unless my Blood Battle Eight Directions can be improved somewhat, to preserve my life." Xiao Ye laughed bitterly.

He was certainly covetous of the treasures in the Duel Arena, but without strength, rushing in was akin to courting death, terribly risky.

Hearing this, Little White couldn’t help but give Xiao Ye a disdainful look.

"Little guy, stop messing around, we’ve been delayed for several days in the Duel Arena, far behind others. Let’s hurry up and look for other treasures." Xiao Ye picked up Little White and shouted angrily.

Little White nodded aggrievedly, fluttered his nostrils for a moment, and then pointed his small paw in a certain direction.

"Alright, let’s go see what other treasures there are." Xiao Ye’s eyes were filled with hope as he shot into the sky, flying towards the distance.

Over the vast land, Xiao Ye flew above the heavens, every Ferocious Beast he encountered along the way was killed with one strike.

After the Domineering Dragon Suppressing Sky Fist reached Perfection, its power increased significantly, almost comparable to the Great Success Realm of Blood Battle Eight Directions.

"Hmm, what’s going on over there?" Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s gaze sharpened, seeing a group of Martial Artists on the ground ahead, furiously attacking a Ferocious Beast.

The beast was enormous, at least ten meters tall, its body covered in azure Scale Armor, and its eyes glowed ferociously, resembling lanterns.

"Roar!"

The beast lashed out with a claw, instantaneously turning three Martial Artists into a pulp, extremely fierce.

Other Martial Artists still charged fearlessly, spinning madly with the beast.

"Wu wu!" Little White stretched out his paw, pointing anxiously at that Ferocious Beast.

A thought struck Xiao Ye, could that Ferocious Beast be the treasure that Little White sensed?
