CHAPTER 198: CHAPTER 197: PLAN NO.2 (FIRST UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

Fast!

Fast!

Speed reached the extreme, abandoning all technique variations, only speed remained.

The ultimate speed.

Swish!

At this moment, a sharp sword slashed across Lu Xuanji’s neck, his head falling to the ground.

One sword, instant kill.

"What a pity! Lu Xuanji was very strong, with the potential for Golden Core in the future, but after all, he was only at the second level of the Purple Mansion. No matter how powerful, how could he cross seven realms to defeat the enemy!"

The black-clad assassin said coldly.

Yet at this moment, Lu Xuanji’s body turned into a puff of air, dissipating into the world, leaving no blood behind.

"Incarnation!"

The black-clad assassin was slightly stunned.

Among the divine techniques, there is talk of [Incarnation] and [Clone].

Incarnation is an independent entity that can cultivate alone. After the main body perishes, it can still exist independently.

A clone, however, is a combat body evolved based on the main body, with a short duration, but it can continue fighting.

As for the drawbacks, the incarnation cannot be too far from the main body, otherwise, it will dissipate.

The strength of the incarnation depends on the strength of the main body.

Swish!

The next moment, Primordial Qi once again condensed, forming the appearance of Lu Xuanji.

Lu Xuanji sighed, "The Ninth Layer of the Purple Mansion is truly powerful. I thought I could at least cross swords with it, but I didn’t expect to be killed instantly!"

The black-clad assassin said, "At the Purple Mansion Realm, who isn’t a genius, who doesn’t have outstanding talent? Trying to fight across realms is nearly impossible!"

Lu Xuanji nodded, "Indeed, the cultivators who can prove their path to the Purple Mansion, nine out of ten are Dual Spirit Root, each one a genius, how could they be weak? I really fell short."

After forging the Upper Grade Purple Mansion, he became a bit arrogant, somewhat dismissive, subconsciously thinking that Purple Mansion cultivators were nothing much. Sensing danger, he didn’t dodge but directly confronted the enemy, to see if he could battle across realms and kill the enemy.

But reality soon slapped him in the face.

The incarnation was instantly killed by a single sword strike.

This made him somewhat awake.

Purple Mansion cultivators, each one is a prodigy. Those who can prove their path to the Purple Mansion, over ninety percent are Dual Spirit Root or Anomalous Spirit Root, all are one in ten thousand geniuses. Thinking about cross-realm battles is one thing, but truly facing them, it’s either a hard-fought victory or getting overturned and killed.

"As far as I know, the [Incarnation] cannot be too far from the main body. Your main body must be within ten miles nearby!"

The black-clad assassin questioned, while silently probing with Divine Thought, searching.

Trying to locate the main body through the incarnation.

Killing the incarnation is useless; only by killing the main body can everything be resolved.

"My main body is indeed within ten miles. If you can find it, you can kill me!" Lu Xuanji laughed, "Maintaining the incarnation consumes the True Essence of the main body. As long as you kill the incarnation many times, the more it dies, the more the main body’s True Essence will be exhausted!"

"Kill!"

The black-clad assassin’s figure flickered, pouncing towards him.

Slash!

The incarnation was cut down again!

The next moment, three more incarnations launched an attack, activating divine techniques.

But with a flash of sword light, the three incarnations perished.

Then, six more incarnations appeared, surrounding the black-clad assassin.

This time, the numbers were somewhat overwhelming, persisting for three breaths before the six incarnations all perished.

Finally, they transformed into nine incarnations, jointly launching an assault.

Swish swish!

Accompanied by the flashing of sword light, the nine incarnations were all annihilated in less than ten seconds.

Just like that, one incarnation followed by another appeared, only to be swiftly slain.

But Lu Xuanji’s expression did not change, continuing to deploy incarnations, attacking persistently.

One Lu Xuanji fell, countless Lu Xuanji stood up.

In the past, it was thought that incarnations were for group fights; but now, it seems that incarnations could hone combat techniques.

Ask yourself, what combat technique could compare to honing techniques in the midst of repeated deaths?

This is the correct usage of the [Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon],

Boom boom boom!

With the continuous deaths of clones, Lu Xuanji’s own energy depleted greatly, forcing him to absorb the spiritual liquid from the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, using it to restore the consumption of his body while the [Destiny Calculation] calculating the enemy’s trajectory, weaknesses, etc., guiding the clones in battle.

Controlling the clones, engaging in life-and-death battles.

Gradually, the battle entered a phase of attrition.

The black-clad assassin panted slightly, his breath somewhat wilted.

He is an assassin, his advantage lies in speed and powerful bursts, but his weakness is a lack of endurance.

After repeatedly slaying incarnations, he consumed a lot himself.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

The black-clad assassin sneered, his figure flickering, disappearing into the distance.

Lu Xuanji sneered, opening [Baidu Map], only to find the black-clad killer hiding under the shadow of a stone, perfectly using the shadow to conceal his own presence, currently observing the situation within ten miles.

At this point, if he went out directly, he would soon be discovered by the assassin and dealt a deadly strike.

I’d better continue to hide here, without moving!

As long as I don’t move, the enemy might not find me.

At this moment, a blue dot appeared on [Baidu Map], then another blue dot appeared.

The two blue dots kept colliding and clashing.

[Baidu Map] kept zooming in, revealing a scene where Liu Ruming was crossing swords with a Purple Mansion cultivator, both sides in a bloody battle, engaging in relentless combat.

Evidently, the person behind the scenes thought of a Guardian when encircling him.

At this moment, someone intercepted his Guardian.

Both sides were fighting fiercely, but Lu Xuanji was not worried.

Because Liu Ruming came from the lineage of the Golden Dawn Ancestor, possessing top-tier innate combat force.

Sword cultivators, reputed to be number one in attack and kill.

Defeating a sword cultivator is very difficult.

However, while sword cultivators are invincible at the same realm, because they tread extremes, their path is difficult, and their upgrade speed is slow.

Boom boom boom!

After only a few exchanges, the opponent was already at a disadvantage.

Swish!

A sword light flashed, about to strike down the opponent.

At this moment, a golden shield blocked the front.

But Liu Ruming merely slashed three times, and the golden shield shattered.

...

"Senior, our plan failed!"

On a distant mountain peak, a box-like figure wearing black robes stood, their body hidden in darkness, face indistinguishable.

At this time, a subordinate stepped forward and spoke.

"Plan number one failed, then implement plan number two!"

The black-robed man said calmly.

Plan number one was to lure the snake out of its hole, bait the fish onto the hook, intercept Liu Ruming, kill Lu Xuanji.

Plan number two, if Lu Xuanji cannot be killed, then kill Liu Ruming.

The world all said that Lu Xuanji had the qualifications for Golden Core, and in two hundred years might become a Golden Core cultivator.

Very few knew that Liu Ruming was no less than Lu Xuanji, having reached the Ninth-Layer of the Purple Mansion at only three hundred and twenty, not just hopeful for Golden Core but was only one step away from it.
