Qiang Zi saw Yu Daohen preparing to attack, a smile appearing on his bloody face: Are you so sure you can defeat me?
Yu Daohen also smiled: If I'm not mistaken, there's a special formation in this Yin Shen Valley that can replicate another me, but its strength shouldn't be greater than the real person.
Seeing that Yu Daohen had guessed correctly, Qiang Zi's smile gradually faded, and he stared at Yu Daohen ferociously: Then let's see who wins today.
Yu Daohen struck first, moving his feet and swinging the Kang Long Jian in his hand towards the fake Qiang Zi.
The fake Qiang Zi saw this and swung his Tong Qian Jian to meet the attack.
Yu Daohen's strength was immense; within three moves, the fake Qiang Zi was already retreating.
With another clash of their weapons, the fake Qiang Zi grinned. Yu Daohen suddenly felt a searing heat coming from behind him.
Yu Daohen exerted force with his arm, pushing away the fake Qiang Zi, and simultaneously turned his body sharply behind him. A blazing flame was already attacking him.
Yu Daohen formed a hand seal, took a deep breath, and spat out a torrent of flame, which collided with the flame attacking him.
The collision of the two flames created an energy sphere at the center.
*Bang!*
The energy sphere exploded, and an energy wave mixed with flames scattered outwards. Without hesitation, Yu Daohen drew the Zhen Hun Shi short sword from his thigh with his other hand and swung it behind him, blocking the Tong Qian Jian that the fake Qiang Zi was attacking with.
Yu Daohen had already guessed who had arrived. Only his fake self could use his Tun Yan Shu.
Yu Daohen pushed away the fake Qiang Zi, and a figure walked out. It was none other than his fake self, though half of his face was already burned by flames.
"How have you been, myself?" the fake Yu Daohen grinned.
"I knew why I hadn't seen my fake self all this time; it was here," Yu Daohen said. After realizing that the other person was the fake Qiang Zi, he had found it strange that his fake self had never appeared.
But now he finally understood; this fake self had been following him all along.
"I must say, you are very meticulous, but you wouldn't have expected your replica to follow us all the way," the fake Qiang Zi said with a smug smile. He had been marking trees all along to guide the fake Yu Daohen.
Yu Daohen shook his head and smiled faintly: "You've done a flawless job, but why do you think two replicas can match me?"
"There's only one way to find out!" As soon as the fake Yu Daohen finished speaking, he swung the Zhen Hun Shi short sword at Yu Daohen. The fake Qiang Zi behind him seized the opportunity and also swung his Tong Qian Jian at Yu Daohen.
Seeing the two attacking him in unison, Yu Daohen laughed instead of fearing. He swung the Kang Long Jian to block the Zhen Hun Shi short sword swung by the fake Yu Daohen, and with his other hand, he raised the Zhen Hun Shi short sword to block the Tong Qian Jian swung by the fake Qiang Zi.
The two attacked him with combined force, each strike aiming for Yu Daohen's vital points. However, each time they were about to hit Yu Daohen, he would deflect them with his Kang Long Jian and Zhen Hun Shi short sword.
The fake Yu Daohen and Qiang Zi retreated.
The fake Yu Daohen seized the opportunity and formed a hand seal, taking a deep breath. Yu Daohen stomped his foot and charged towards the fake Yu Daohen. The fake Qiang Zi behind him tried to stop him, but Yu Daohen flicked his Zhen Hun Shi short sword backwards, aiming it at the fake Qiang Zi.
The Zhen Hun Shi short sword sliced through the air, heading for the fake Qiang Zi's head.
The fake Qiang Zi quickly raised his Tong Qian Jian to block the incoming Zhen Hun Shi short sword.
The Zhen Hun Shi short sword struck the blade of the Tong Qian Jian. The fake Qiang Zi felt a sharp pain in his arm, and a surge of force sent him flying backward.
Yu Daohen reached the fake Yu Daohen. Just as the flame was about to erupt, Yu Daohen grabbed the fake Yu Daohen's mouth.
*Bang!*
The flame exploded inside the fake Yu Daohen's mouth, and in an instant, the fake Yu Daohen's entire face was engulfed in flames.
Yu Daohen followed up with a powerful kick to the fake Yu Daohen's abdomen. The fake Yu Daohen's expression changed, and he was kicked flying by Yu Daohen.
Yu Daohen glanced at Qiang Zi behind him, then turned back to the fake Yu Daohen: "Alright, you won't die. It's just a bit painful."
The fake Yu Daohen stood up, his entire face burned beyond recognition.
"Impossible, why is your strength so much greater than mine?" The fake Yu Daohen endured the intense pain, disbelieving. Although they were replicas, their strength shouldn't be much inferior to the original.
Yu Daohen grinned: "For ordinary people, perhaps. But my destiny is special. If I'm not mistaken, there's a formation here that can replicate anything."
The fake Yu Daohen remained silent, staring at Yu Daohen with a fierce expression.
Yu Daohen's lips curled upwards. It seemed he had guessed correctly. Legend had it that there was a formation that could replicate all things in the world, but it had a flaw: it couldn't replicate unique items.
Yu Daohen had almost believed that guy was the real Qiang Zi at first. If he hadn't suddenly thought of this formation, he might have already perished.
Qiang Zi's forty copper coins and his Tong Qian Jian could be replicated.
But what truly confirmed Yu Daohen's suspicion of the formation was that the fake Yu Daohen did not have the Kang Long Jian, as there was only one Kang Long Jian in the world.
This was something Yu Daohen had inadvertently overheard that guy mention in the shop.
