"Bastard!"
Meng Chao roared. His saber moved like an aquatic dragon bathed in blood and slashed at the impersonator.
The impersonator grinned and used his knee to push against Xiang Wei's headless chest. Then, he rammed into Meng Chao.
Meng Chao did not want to leave his mark on Xiang Wei's corpse, so he could only move sideways to dodge.
Meng Chao curled up behind Xiang Wei's corpse and bounced off like a compressed spring. He swung his saber at Meng Chao's head, and his unstoppable momentum was the same as the real Meng Chao's.
But Meng Chao was prepared for it. Bloody Soul drew a sharp arc, and the two sabers separated the moment they touched each other. Sparks that did not disappear even after a long time had passed.
Both of them were forced back three steps by their opponent's energy, but they held their swords across their chests, silently confronting each other.
It was only at this moment that Meng Chao saw the person's full face.
He discovered that not only did the impersonator's appearance, demeanor, and gaze were exactly the same as his. Even his height, shoulder width, arm span, upper and lower body proportions, and even the distribution of muscles and bones were almost exactly the same as his.
Meng Chao could not help but suck in a sharp breath.
After all, he had just finished training in the wilderness for several months a few days ago.
Over the past few months, he had been living in the wild and in the forest. He crawled around and often ate the freshest monster meat as food.
Not only did his combat power improve by leaps and bounds, his height had also increased by another 3 millimeters, and his weight had increased by 7.5 kilograms. His shoulder width and arm span were also different from before, and the distribution of his muscles had also been fine-tuned to the most suitable state for combat.
During this period of time, he cultivated madly and rarely came into contact with others.
If the enemy had copied Meng Chao's appearance based on the ambush of Noble Descent Hotel when he killed the Demonic Abyss Eye, he should have looked different from the current him.
It had only been a few days since Meng Chao returned to Dragon City. How did the enemy manage to copy his new form?
It was no wonder then why Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong and Snake Eye Mo Lan, his teammates who had fought against him yesterday, could not tell the difference between the real Meng Chao and the fake Meng Chao!
Meng Chao looked at Rattlesnake Xiang Wei's head and chest through the corner of his eye.
It was obvious that Xiang Wei, whose head was separated from his body, was dead.
Even if Su Mulian transferred all his injuries to her, it would be impossible for her to revive him.
The bloody wounds on his neck and chest were obvious that they were caused by chain sabers tearing at him viciously.
If Meng Chao had not realized it in time and allowed Rattlesnake Xiang Wei to be killed by the impersonator, then the impersonator would have intentionally let some of the witnesses "escape by sheer luck".
Even if he jumped into Red Dragon River, he would not be able to clear his name.
Fortunately, although he couldn't stop the impersonator from killing Xiang Wei, he managed to catch the impersonator's tail.
'Next, as long as we can kill or capture the impersonator or hold him back until the main forces of the gangs arrive and notice that there are two Meng Chao fighting against each other, all of the Vortex's schemes will be ruined!'
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he saw hope.
Bloody Soul's light tore through the fog and poisonous gas around it and enveloped the impersonator.
The impersonator was not just a facade.
Instead, he imitated Meng Chao's fighting style, the characteristics of his techniques, physical constitution, and even the characteristics of his spirit energy magnetic fields.
He also cleared a large number of branch meridians and could deliver spirit energy to his nerve endings and even his hair. He had a long endurance of fighting strength that would never tire.
He was also skilled in the upgraded versions of Reckless Bull Force, One Hundred Saber Techniques, Demon Subduing Pole, and other basic techniques that Meng Chao was used to.
He also liked to use basic techniques that had practically no openings to form continuous attacks. He seldom used killing moves that had a long cooldown time and a heavy saber in his right hand.
He held a heavy saber in his right hand and a nimble chain saber in his left. He moved like a phantom and gave off a mighty presence.
The more they fought, the more shocked Meng Chao became. He felt as if he had entered hell and was fighting against his own reflection in the mirror, where he would never be able to determine the victor.
However, no matter how skilled the impersonator was in disguise, there was one thing that he could not imitate 100% of the time.
Meng Chao had Kindling in his body, and he could use contribution points to exchange for healing skills to strengthen his cells' recovery speed and abilities.
Besides, Meng Chao did not mind injuring himself badly.
Even if they fought with bayonets and both of them fell limp on the ground and could not stand up, it did not matter.
True gold was not afraid of fire. When the main forces of the gangs arrived, they would tie up the two Meng Chao and bring them to Saber Jin Wanhao, Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong, and the others. At that time, they would see just who would end up in an awkward situation!
One side dared to fight to the death with them.
The other was in a hurry to flee.
The psychological advantage continued accumulating, and gradually, it turned into a winning momentum, causing the chips on the scales of victory to shift in Meng Chao's direction.
In just half a minute.
Both sides exchanged 372 slashes.
They left behind dozens of deep wounds on the impersonator's body.
Bloody flames burned around Meng Chao. He did not seem to know fatigue or fear pain. Instead, the more he fought, the braver he became.
No matter what, the impersonator was not the real "eldest senior brother of the Ultimate Style". His speed and strength had clearly fallen by a level. His breathing became rapid and disorderly, and he gradually could not keep up with Meng Chao's rapid rhythm.
Whoosh!
Meng Chao threw his chain saber again.
The impersonator's chain saber shot out like a venomous snake.
The two chain sabers intersected with each other, and dazzling flames and electrical arcs exploded from them.
Meng Chao yanked the saber and closed the distance between them.
Then, without hesitation, he let go of the chain saber and gripped the hilt with both hands. Bloody Soul was pushed forward by an indomitable momentum, and it swept forward like the propeller of an armored airship.
The impersonator also swung his red saber.
The two sabers clashed against each other for the 109th time.
At the moment the sabers clashed …
Meng Chao's eyes shone with a light that was comparable to a supernova explosion.
It was another skill that the impersonator could not master. It was a Fear Bomb that used the apocalypse as its core!
The impersonator's pupils shrank swiftly.
His mental defenses were not destroyed by Meng Chao's Fear Bomb in one go.
But he could not help but tremble fatally.
Meng Chao seized the fleeting chance and sent all his spirit energy into the Red Radiance Jade crystal marrow supporting Bloody Soul.
Kacha!
Bloody Soul instantly shone brighter, and it looked like a crystalline work of art.
Of course, it was a work of art.
In the end, a fake was a fake.
The impersonator could meticulously refine a red saber that resembled Bloody Soul.
But the real Bloody Soul used the rare crystal marrow from the depths of the Red Radiance Jade mine as its core.
It was a treasure that could only be found by chance.
Humans had long since gained control of the large Red Radiance Jade mine under Raging Waves.
It was practically impossible for the impersonator to get the exact same Red Radiance Jade crystal marrow.
Hence, it was impossible for his saber to be as sturdy as Meng Chao's Bloody Soul.
Just now, Meng Chao had intentionally pretended that he wanted to die together with the impersonator and used the simplest and crudest method to fight against him. He had long since used up the durability of the red saber without his knowledge.
The final slash finally broke the impersonator's red saber and pierced the impersonator's chest, lifting him up and pinning him to the wall.
Everything ended.
The impersonator's eyes bulged out. He stared at his chest in disbelief and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He wiggled his limbs like a worm. He wanted to pull out the burning Bloody Soul from his chest, but it was impossible.
In the distance, more footsteps could be heard rushing over. A lot of motorized armor also let out a lot of mechanical sounds.
Since they were making such a big fuss, it was naturally the main force of the gangs.
"It's over for you."
Meng Chao stared at the person who looked like him.
Even if he was close to him, he could not see any flaws.
Unfortunately, no matter how good his disguise was, it was useless.
"No matter who you are, the game is over. When the main force of the gangs arrives here and sees two Meng Chaos, the truth will be revealed!" Meng Chao said clearly.
The impersonator blinked and smiled again.
He swung his arms strenuously as if he wanted to clap and celebrate for Meng Chao.
But there was a heavy saber in his chest, so it was difficult for him to clap.
He could only give Meng Chao a thumbs up.
"You're really something, Meng Chao. You actually destroyed my plans multiple times and even managed to guess my reaction. It's no wonder why the White Spirit, Earthquake, and the Demonic Abyss Eye lost to you one after another!"
The impersonator's smile grew stranger.
His voice also gradually became different from Meng Chao's.
It was a rustling sound that made people feel really uncomfortable. It sounded like insects crawling on the ground.
"But I'm different from them," the impersonator said with a smile.
The impersonator laughed, "Our game has just begun."
Meng Chao's skin crawled.
Based on the impersonator's tone, he actually placed himself at a higher position than the White Spirit, Earthquake, and Demonic Abyss Eye.
Could it be that he was also a Supernatural Entity?
But if he was really a Supernatural Entity, even if Meng Chao's return to the past had caused a butterfly effect and he had not evolved to his final form, he should not have been killed so easily.
"W-Who are you?" Meng Chao asked fiercely.
"You can call me the Vortex."
Just as he expected, the impersonator uttered a name that made Meng Chao's skin crawl.
And its eyes turned into two bottomless vortexes.
"As a reward for forcing me to this step and forcing me to reveal my true form, I can give you … a small hint for the next stage of the game."
The Vortex smiled mysteriously. "The person you killed is Black Bone's gang leader's most beloved son.
"Black Bone lost a few elites in the explosion in Leprosy Village this morning, and the gang leader is furious. His most beloved son decided to kill you on his own to make him happy, but in the end, you stabbed him in the chest, and he died a horrible death. What do you think the hot-tempered gang leader will do to you when he learns about this?"
"Wh-What?"
A bad feeling rose in Meng Chao's heart. "The people I killed were all wanted criminals and former Reaper Squad members!"
"That's right, except for this one."
The Vortex lowered its head and stared at Bloody Soul, which was Meng Chao's signature weapon that had pierced through its chest and stabbed deep into the wall. It was the one and only Bloody Soul in Dragon City, and it cackled.
