Chapter 1607 Final Stage (2)
Yun Lintian was shocked to see his identical self in the hall. This person’s entire body was black, seemingly creating from shadows. However, everything else remained exactly the same.
The shadow looked at Yun Lintian with a dark grin. “Congratulations. You have finally reached the final stageβ¦ Unfortunately, I have to inform you that your journey ends here.”
The shadow’s voice was identical to Yun Lintian’s, both in the way he spoke and in tone.
What surprised Yun Lintian even more was the sword’s shadow that hovered around the man… It was clearly the shadow of the Heaven Piercing Sword!
The Heaven Piercing Sword beside Yun Lintian suddenly pointed its tip towards the sword’s shadow, releasing a murderous intent, as if it was saying “how dare you imitate me?”
Yun Lintian did not respond to his “mirrored self” but was thinking about Wu Zengqi’s words. Now he fully understood why Wu Zengqi had said that. Without a doubt, the shadow must have possessed every technique he had. It would be extremely difficult to beat him.
“How about I let you attack me first? Otherwise, it would be too boring to kill you within a few seconds.” The shadow curled its lips, giving Yun Lintian a provocative look.
Yun Lintian’s face twitched slightly. This kind of taunting style was obviously similar to his own.
He slowly grasped the Heaven Piercing Sword, and his aura gradually surged within his body. Although the shadow possessed profound strength on the same level as his own, Yun Lintian didn’t dare to underestimate him in the slightest.
“Forget it. I should finish it quickly and take a nice nap.” The shadow chuckled.
All of a sudden, the shadow disappeared from its original position and reappeared behind Yun Lintian like a ghost. Clearly, it was using the Shadow Step.
At the same time, the shadow’s divine energy burst forth, unleashing phoenix flames as he executed the Dragon Fist.
Yun Lintian instinctively used Shadow Step to distance himself from the shadow. However, when he reappeared at the opposite end of the hall, the shadow suddenly appeared behind him at almost exactly the same time.
“Too slow.” The shadow spoke and punched Yun Lintian. The fire dragon, mixed with the flames of the phoenix, instantly blasted onto Yun Lintian’s back.
BOOOM!!
Yun Lintian was immediately sent flying, his entire body covered in phoenix flames. He felt as though his spine had been snapped in half, and the intense burning sensation caused him to groan in pain.
With the Sun inside his body, Yun Lintian’s resistance to fire had already reached an extremely high level. However, the phoenix flames from the shadow were able to inflict harm on him.
Before Yun Lintian could stabilize himself, a bone-chilling wind abruptly blew over, freezing everything around him. At the same time, several earth spikes shot out from the floor and the walls, aiming towards Yun Lintian in all directions.
Yun Lintian’s heart tightened. He instinctively brandished the Heaven Piercing Sword, aiming to break the series of attacks around him.
Roarβ
Just as Yun Lintian was about to unleash his power, a powerful roar of a tiger suddenly echoed, causing his mind to go blank instantly. ο½ππππππο½.ο½ο½ ο½
Boom!!
Countless earth spikes ruthlessly stabbed into Yun Lintian’s body, and the cold wind instantly froze everything, encasing Yun Lintian in a large ice cube.
“Tsk. Not bad. A little over five seconds.” The shadow landed in front of the ice cube and clicked its tongue in satisfaction.
He looked at Yun Lintian, who was freezing, and said further. “You have so many powerful techniques, but always wasting them by holding back. Seriously, I don’t even know how you can live to this day by doing that.”
The shadow was a perfect replica of Yun Lintian, possessing everything that Yun Lintian had. It knew very well just how powerful Yun Lintian could truly be. However, Yun Lintian had always kept his hands to himself, only using them at critical moments. This made it difficult for Yun Lintian to defeat opponents who were at a higher level than him.
The shadow opened its hand, and the sword’s shadow fell into its palm. It raised the sword slightly and said with a smile. “Farewell, my alter ego.”
Just as the shadow was about to swing the sword down, the ice block suddenly cracked, releasing a golden radiance. The Heaven Piercing Sword abruptly shot out of the ice block and headed towards the shadow.
“Oh?” The shadow was surprised. It quickly swung the sword down at the oncoming Heaven Piercing Sword.
Clang!!
Amidst the mingling cries of metal, Yun Lintian suddenly emerged from the shadow like a ghost and threw a punch. Phoenix flames and purple lightning sparks flashed all over his arm as his fist slammed into the shadow’s back.
Boom!
A massive explosion occurred, shattering the shadow’s body into fragments.
“Now you’re being serious, huh?” The shadow’s voice resounded from behind, causing Yun Lintian to activate the Shadow Step. The shadow Yun Lintian punched earlier was nothing but an afterimage.
The shadow quickly followed Yun Lintian and swung his sword towards him.
Boom!
A yellow barrier suddenly appeared in front of Yun Lintian and exploded as soon as the shadow’s sword collided with it. The impact immediately forced the shadow to retreat.
Yun Lintian flipped backwards as if he had been struck by a massive mountain. Before he could stabilize himself, his figure immediately turned into a shadow and disappeared from the place.
“Where are you going?” The shadow smiled disdainfully and swung the sword forward. Instantly, numerous thunderbolts shot out from the sword, transforming the hall into a world of lightning.
In the next moment, the shadow waved his hand, and raging winds instantly appeared, blending with the thunderbolts to form a thunderstorm that rocked the entire space.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All of a sudden, several pillars of earth emerged from the ground beneath the shadow’s feet and transformed into a pair of enormous hands, tightly gripping the shadow from both sides.
“Hmph! A petty trick.” The shadow didn’t even bother to avoid it and let the earth hands lock him inside. He simply swung the sword around, releasing a shimmering golden arc. With a bang, the earth prison around him instantly shattered into pieces.
However, as soon as the prison broke, the shadow caught sight of Yun Lintian standing before him, holding the Heaven Piercing Sword aloft and emanating a radiant golden light.
Rending Heaven!
In that instant, Yun Lintian swung the sword down, bringing the golden radiance down upon the shadow.
BOOM!!
