Chapter 44: This is a genius, no, something even a god couldn’t do.
His words were calm, but they sounded provoking in Laura’s ears. A hint of chill flickered between her eyebrows.
"Alright, let’s give it a try." In an instant, Laura stood with her sword, her eyes cooling down, and the sword in her hand buzzed, flashing with a cold light.
This time, she would not hold back! In an instant, the two of them were entangled in the dreamland.
But this time, the situation was completely different.
Less than five rounds into their exchange, Laura was caught off guard by Alexander and almost took a punch to the face, forcing her to step back continuously.
Laura gritted her teeth and said, "Again!"
Alexander responded deeply, "Of course."
They entangled once again. But still, in less than five rounds, Laura was again forced back, falling into disadvantage.
Laura gritted her teeth and said, "Again!"
Time passed second by second, and the number of rounds they battled quickly exceeded two hundred.
But ever since the fiftieth round, the situation had completely reversed. Each of Laura’s attacks could easily be resolved by Alexander, and he was becoming increasingly skilled.
From initially being at a disadvantage, slowly being suppressed, to later, Laura could not even get a step closer.
After three hundred rounds, Laura, panting and drenched in sweat, stared at Alexander. Her inner anxiety was escalating. Had he really seen through her?
No matter from which direction or angle she attacked, he seemed to know in advance and would always dissolve her attacks at the right time.
Would she really lose to him? No! She suddenly gritted her teeth, her eyes becoming extremely sharp, and stared at Alexander.
"You said you’ve seen through all my moves, right? Well, let me show you the true essence of my swordsmanship!" In an instant, Laura leaped into the air again.
But this time it was different. Her body in mid-air divide into two, then four, then eight, and in an instant, there were eight identical Lauras in the sky.
Alexander was shocked. "Is this the technique of shadow cloning? It looks amazing!"
"Eight Lauras, wouldn’t dual cultivation with her be more exciting?"
"Smack!" Alexander lightly slapped his own face. What was he thinking at a time like this?
Perhaps influenced by the supreme Yin-Yang dual cultivation technique, Alexander’s personality had subtly changed, no longer mature and experienced, but more youthful and free-spirited.
Laura’s swordsmanship was divided into eight stages, and when she reached the eighth stage, she could produce eight mirror images to fight together during battle.
However, due to her level, her mirror images were still at the basic stage. Although these external bodies could deceive the enemy, there was only one true body capable of inflicting damage.
Alexander stood still, calmly looking at the eight Lauras charging towards him.
He prepared his stance, and his left hand suddenly clenched into a fist. At that instant, his entire fist hardened again, even making a "crackling" sound.
Alexander’s fist became harder than ever before; the power it could bring if it hit the target was quite terrifying.
Now the most crucial thing was whether Alexander could find the real Laura among these eight people. This was the decisive moment!
And just then, the eight Lauras arrived in front of Alexander, their fierce sword instantly stabbing towards his body.
The eight Lauras spoke at the same time, their voices cold.
"You think you’ve seen through everything, don’t you? Can you see through which one is my real body?"
Alexander responded deeply, "None of them is you, so why do I need to see through?"
But at this critical moment, Alexander surprisingly turned his back to the eight Lauras.
"Has he gone crazy?" Confusion flashed in Laura’s eyes, but she did not stop.
However, just as she was about to attack Alexander’s body, he suddenly stretched out his hand into the air behind him and gripped something.
Then he shouted, and his fist surged out instantly.
Boom! There was a huge noise.
Just as Alexander’s fist came down, the air fluctuated, and in front of him, Laura, holding the Mindsync Sword, emerged.
Her wrist, gripping the sword, was restrained by Alexander, her eyes filled with disbelief. Obviously, she could not believe how Alexander discovered that her real body was not among those eight mirror images.
And Alexander’s fist unobstructedly pierced through her defense and landed heavily on her chest.
Her large, soft breasts instantly started to sway left and right under Alexander’s punch. Laura was stunned.
A gentle breeze blew, leaving the scene in quietness.
The next moment, Laura was sent flying by Alexander’s punch, landing heavily on the ground, then coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood.
The pain in her chest, accompanied by a tingling sensation, surged towards her brain. Laura was immediately furious, her face flushing deep red.
"You... you..."
Alexander folded his arms and casually said, "Not bad. My full-strength punch didn’t kill you."
Laura glared at him fiercely, clutching her chest, her hair disheveled. She staggered to a spot ten meters in front of Alexander.
She had suffered a severe blow, her internal organs had shifted, and even several of her ribs had broken.
This punch was too terrifying!
If it weren’t for her protective aura, this punch would have taken her life. But even so, her spirit energy was exhausted by this punch.
"How did you find my real body? I thought I hid my aura very well!" Laura gasped.
Alexander calmly said, "It’s simple. I deduced your move."
Upon hearing this, Laura shook violently, "What? That’s impossible!"
Alexander said calmly, "The mirror image move you used just now is probably the highest stage evolution of the sword technique you use, right?"
"Unfortunately, while you were fighting me earlier, I had already roughly figured out the seven stages of your sword technique. According to my understanding, it was only logical to deduce the next stage of moves.
In fact, all eight mirror images were a bluff. There’s only one real body, and I knew clearly where you would attack from. So, you were bound to lose!"
Laura gasped for breath, staring blankly at the indifferent Alexander.
How could there be such a terrifying person in this world? He had figured out your moves while fighting you and logically deduced the next stage of your technique.
This is a genius, no, something even a god couldn’t do.
And yet he...
After a while, Laura closed her eyes and said sadly, "I admit your strength is formidable, but I will never admit defeat!"
"You’re injured, do you still want to fight? Although this is a fantasy, it can also cause damage to your body," Alexander kindly advised.
However, Laura, who had never experienced defeat before, how could she accept this? She forcefully mobilized her energy, and her body burst out with a powerful aura.
However, this aura only lasted a very short time. Suddenly, Laura spat out a mouthful of fresh blood from her mouth and collapsed on the spot.
"Damn, this is a sign of reversed meridians, it’s a symptom of ’Deviation’!"
