There were no flashy collisions, only the sounds of saber light and saber cries. With each collision, whether it was Lu Ye or the figure transformed from the sculpture, their bodies trembled violently as their Spiritual Qi surged.
After just a moment of fighting, Lu Ye confirmed one thing, this opponent was his other self. Not only did he have the exact same appearance and saber as himself, even his strength and fighting style were no different from his own.
Was this the test of the opportunity?
It seemed that if he wanted to obtain this opportunity, he must first pass this test. In other words, he had to get rid of his other self!
Lu Ye had never experienced such a bizarre thing before, so for a moment, he felt a sense of novelty.
But then came the question, how could a person rely on their own strength to get rid of their other self?
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but Lu Ye's mind calmed down and his eyes were as firm as ice. No matter how similar the figure in front of him looked, it was only a figure, not his real self.
This was most likely an extremely advanced illusion, so advanced that even with his eyesight, he could not see any flaws.
The collision of force against force, the clashing of blade against blade, continued without end. The danger of a battle between weapon cultivators was vividly reflected at this moment. Every time they clashed, both sides were almost walking on the edge of life and death. This was something that Lu Ye could never experience when fighting other enemies.
So far, among the enemies he had encountered, even if they were on par with him in terms of strength, it was impossible for them to have the same fighting style as him, so it was very rare for such a scene to occur.
However, in this battle, they were truly evenly matched. Moreover, the auras of both sides were extremely aggressive. Every time the saber slashed down, it was extremely oppressive. Either the enemy would die, or they would die.
But in such an intense battle, the two figures were able to perfectly block each other's attacks without suffering the slightest injury.
Lu Ye felt like he was looking into a mirror. Although this battle was fierce, it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Until a certain moment, the figure opposite him suddenly changed his saber stance and a light bloomed. Lu Ye was startled and hurriedly retreated.
Like the explosion of the sun, a saber lotus slowly bloomed, each petal dancing in the air condensed from saber light. Soon, half of the hall was covered by this saber lotus.
Sun of the Lotus!
Even though Lu Ye had guessed that the other party might be able to use the Three Tyrant Saber Techniques when he had seen the other party use the Tyrant Saber Technique, Lu Ye still found it hard to believe when he saw it with his own eyes.
This illusion … was a little too brilliant. All of his abilities could be perfectly displayed by the figure in front of him.
This was the first time he faced the might of the Lotus Sun directly. This feeling was completely different from when he used it himself. This feeling was from the perspective of the person being attacked, and he could feel the terror of the Lotus Sun more and more.
Even though he saw that the situation was bad and retreated, he still couldn't avoid being enveloped by the aftershocks of the lotus sun. Being sliced by the saber light from all directions, Lu Ye hurriedly constructed the Holy Protection Spirit Rune to resolve the situation.
Before he could stabilize his body, bits of saber light attacked him from the front.
Stars!
He couldn't avoid it, he couldn't avoid it. Lu Ye's skin tightened and he felt a chill run down his spine. In his field of vision, he could only see the stars in the sky falling towards him.
After losing the initiative in one move, Lu Ye found that the other party's attacks were endless. It seemed like the other party wanted to kill him here. If he was killed by his other self in such a test, it would be too embarrassing.
Even the Holy Protection Spirit Rune couldn't block such a continuous and violent attack. He knew his own offensive power very well, so Lu Ye didn't defend at all. He just activated his saber aura and slashed out continuously.
The sound of the tide sea rang out, layer upon layer, endless.
The stars fell and the tide sea broke. Lu Ye felt a slight pain in his arm and took the opportunity to retreat.
Before he could stabilize himself, a figure wrapped in boundless killing intent pounced on him from the broken saber light. The extremely violent and oppressive aura made one's heart heavy.
Lu Ye finally understood what his enemy had faced. Under the pressure of such a domineering aura, if one's mind wasn't calm enough, it would be easy to fall into a disadvantage. Even if one was strong enough, they might not be able to fully display their strength.
He spun his saber and rushed forward to meet the other party. This was the only thing he could do now.
The two sabers collided again with a loud bang and both figures shook. Although the other party had won just now, Lu Ye had stabilized his mind and wouldn't be defeated for a while.
But gradually, he realized that something was not quite right. He glanced at his right arm, where there was a knife wound.
Logically speaking, such a flesh wound was nothing to him. With his current powerful physique and vitality, it wouldn't take long for him to recover.
But in fact, this small wound hadn't healed at all. Not only had it not healed, but it was even expanding. Blood flowed from it and dyed his clothes red.
Lu Ye could clearly sense that there was a strange power lingering around the wound, hindering its recovery and preventing his strong physique and vitality from playing the slightest role.
Lu Ye frowned slightly.
It was a little difficult to determine whether his guess was correct or not.
He had thought that everything here was just an illusion, but it was so brilliant that he couldn't see any flaws.
But if it was an illusion, how could he have been injured? And the injury was so strange.
Could it be that this wasn't an illusion?
With this distraction, the balance of power he had managed to maintain with great difficulty was broken again. Lu Ye only saw a flash of saber light and even though he tried to dodge, he couldn't avoid it and a wound appeared on his lower abdomen.
Raising his saber to block the other party's attack, Lu Ye silently sensed the condition of the wound on his lower abdomen and found that it was the same as the one on his arm, surrounded by a strange power. Under the influence of this power, not only was the wound unable to heal, it was slowly worsening.
The other party's saber was strange!
Lu Ye immediately understood one thing. Although the other party's saber looked exactly the same as the Pan Shan Saber, it wasn't the real Pan Shan Saber. There was a strange power on the saber that hindered the recovery of injuries and even made them worse.
In the short term, this strange power wouldn't have much of an effect on Lu Ye, but in the long term, it was hard to say. Moreover, Lu Ye was facing another version of himself this time, one who possessed all of his own abilities. Any weakness on his side could be the key to victory!
Lu Ye hurriedly urged the power of his Talent Tree to burn his body. In an instant, the strange power lingering on his two wounds was burned away, and under the effect of his powerful physique and vitality, his wounds quickly began to heal.
After solving this problem, Lu Ye finally relaxed, but the situation was still not optimistic. Originally, the two of them were evenly matched, but the slight delay just now had caused Lu Ye's side to fall into a slight disadvantage. He knew in his heart that if he could not quickly recover from this disadvantage, it would only become worse and worse! This was because his fighting style was like this. A slight advantage would quickly expand as the oppressive power of his opponent increased, and in the end, victory would be decided.
But when faced with such an enemy, how could he recover from this disadvantage?
Lu Ye couldn't think of what to do. Even facing Yue Yao wasn't as difficult as this battle. Lu Ye suddenly realized something. The most difficult enemy to defeat in this world was actually himself!
This was very comical.
He considered whether or not he should wear the Dragon Throne. He had the Dragon Throne, but his opponent couldn't possibly have one as well. Just as he was about to give it a try, he discovered that he couldn't open his storage ring.
Startled, he tried to connect to the Red Talisman in his body, but he discovered that even the Red Talisman couldn't be activated.
Lu Ye instantly understood. In this kind of battle, there was no way to borrow external power. He could only rely on his own strength.
As his opponent slashed out with his saber, Lu Ye's eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly raised his saber to meet the attack. The timing of this attack was extremely ingenious, and it forcibly reversed his weak disadvantage.
So … he had a flaw in his fighting style!
The saber strike that his opponent had slashed out just now had a small flaw, or rather, a flaw that wasn't smooth enough. This kind of flaw was often fleeting and difficult to grasp, but Lu Ye had everything that his opponent had, so it wasn't difficult for him to seize this opportunity!
Lu Ye really hadn't discovered this before; after all, he had never had such an experience before.
He was secretly afraid. If his opponent had seized this opportunity in the past, he would have been in great trouble, but since he had discovered it now, he naturally wouldn't make the same mistake in the future.
Lu Ye's heart suddenly moved. This kind of opportunity was very rare. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to find his own shortcomings and correct them.
Thinking so, Lu Ye became interested in this kind of battle and pushed his strength to the limit, constantly clashing with the enemy in front of him.
This allowed him to find many of his own shortcomings, especially after he had gained the upper hand. His aggressive offensive often gave his opponent some opportunities to take advantage of.
In the past, he hadn't been overturned by his opponent because his opponent's strength and eyesight weren't enough. If his strength and eyesight were enough, even the slightest opportunity would be enough to make Lu Ye fall beyond redemption.
Lu Ye secretly broke out in a cold sweat. He really hadn't discovered these things before, mainly because his cultivation progress was too fast. Moreover, no one had taught him systematically. His saber skills were basically instincts honed through life and death situations.
These things were enough for Lu Ye to dominate most cultivators of the same level. Perhaps some people had seen some flaws, but in the face of Lu Ye's overwhelming strength, they had been powerless to fight back.
However, one's own fate was ultimately in their own hands. They couldn't pin their hopes on the weakness of others.
Lu Ye found that this was an extremely rare opportunity, an opportunity to make up for his shortcomings. It was really like looking into a mirror, finding his own shortcomings from the reflection in the mirror and then correcting them.
