Chapter 225 : Mirror Image Replication
Chapter 225 : Mirror Image Replication
Fierce black sword energy surged in her palm. Chu Sang activated her technique, her form as swift as the wind. Wielding the Primordial Soul-Chaser, she charged straight at the mirror image to attack. However, she saw an identical black sword appear in the mirror image's hand.
The two swords clashed, emitting a "zila" sound of metal striking stone. Sparks flew as two equally powerful forces collided, simultaneously sending both of them flying back tens of meters. Even the few steps they retreated were virtually identical, truly two sides of a mirror image.
Chu Sang quickly withdrew her sword and took out Karma Burns the Three Realms. In an instant, she turned and drew a fiery red arrow, piercing through the void!
At the very moment she drew the bow and arrow, the mirror image opposite her also drew an identical fiery red bow and arrow.
The two arrows intersected in mid-air.
Both arrows were simultaneously torn in half down the middle.
A flash of shock passed through Chu Sang's eyes. This Double-Faced Mirror truly lived up to its reputation. The mirror image looked exactly like her, had the same cultivation level, used the same sword and bow techniques, and even mimicked those small movements she herself hadn't noticed, such as: her habit of touching the bow with her index finger when drawing the sword, pressing down firmly on the middle finger of the bowstring... This feeling of completely fighting oneself was indeed unpleasant. No wonder so many cultivators gradually suffered mental breakdowns in mirror image battles, ending their own lives.
But, if one could break through the mirror image, wouldn't that mean defeating oneself?
Chu Sang didn't retreat but advanced, drawing the bowstring in her palm again. This time, it wasn't one arrow, but three.
Three arrows were released simultaneously.
The opposite side likewise released three arrows.
Her next shot released five arrows, then ten arrows, then twenty... repeatedly breaking through limits she had never dared to break before. The bowstring in her hand grew larger, transforming into a fiery red phantom. Beside the fiery bow phantom, she was like a drop in the ocean. Her hand pulled in the void, drawing the enormous arrow into a full moon shape.
Over a hundred arrows were released with full force in an instant.
At first, the mirror image could keep up with her speed, but after twenty arrows, it became increasingly strained.
Just by being a bit slower in the middle, it was left far behind by Chu Sang. Over a hundred arrows shot at it simultaneously. Even though its strength and techniques were completely copied from Chu Sang, there were simply too many arrows. Even Chu Sang herself would struggle to dodge them all. Despite using every trick at its disposal, the mirror image couldn't avoid being hit by an arrow, a bloody gash appearing on its cheek, blood trickling down.
When Chu Sang drew her bow again, the mirror image reluctantly learned to do the same.
It had copied all of Chu Sang's cultivation levels and abilities. Whatever Chu Sang could do now, it could do the same!
Chu Sang hurriedly threw out the Mystic Spirit Sword, transforming it into an umbrella shield to block the attack. The mirror image also imitated this, summoning a mirror image of the Mystic Spirit Sword.
While the mirror image was fully engaged in countering the rain of arrows, she quickly released Hong Niang. Thousands of spider silk threads entangled towards it. Those spider silk threads carried a potent poison. As long as they could touch its wounds or flesh, the poison would instantly spread throughout its body, ensuring certain death! After all, Chu Sang was not immune to all poisons, so that mirror image would also fear deadly poison.
Seeing this, the mirror image's pupils contracted slightly. It hastily retreated while simultaneously condensing a dark, roaring flame in its hand. The spider silk, supposedly impervious to water and fire, was actually melted under the burning of this fierce flame.
It smiled somewhat coldly,
"It's useless. Don't waste your efforts."
"Not only can I copy everything about you, but even anything connected to you will be replicated one-to-one by the mirror image!"
"You can't kill me!"
