The Mirror Demon Appears

Just as the replica was about to be surrounded and devoured by endless trees, he remained calm and composed.

With a cold smile, he drew an identical Wood King Sword from his waist, and like Gu Qingfeng, let out a thunderous shout: "Thousand Trees Form a Grove! Ten Thousand Trees Make a Forest! Forest of All Creation!"

Dazzling green light burst forth from the Wood King Sword. Centered on the replica, endless trees surged from beneath his feet, clashing with Gu Qingfeng's Forest of All Creation.

The two forces collided, equally matched. Soon, the entire space was occupied by trees, transforming into a sea of green.

The trees from both sides seemed to split the space in half, growing frantically at the center, compressing, shattering, standing in opposition to each other.

Gu Qingfeng was slightly surprised that the replica also possessed a Wood King Sword. The Mirror Demon truly lived up to his reputation as one of the Seven Demon Generals, showing his true capabilities.

If he could replicate a Dark-rank Spirit Weapon, what about the master-level White Bone Demon Fire?

Gu Qingfeng swung his Wood King Sword fiercely, simultaneously activating his fire talent. The White Bone Demon Fire within him clung to the Wood King Sword like maggots to bone, instantly raising the surrounding temperature. The trees around him burst into spontaneous combustion from the intense heat.

"Dark-rank mid-grade martial technique, Single Character Sun-Burning Sword!"

Swoosh!

A pale, scorching line cut across the entire space, carrying an unstoppable force, shooting toward the replica like a laser.

Everything in its path was sliced and burned.

This was Gu Qingfeng's strongest attack!

Personal strength + Wood King Sword + Single Character Sun-Burning Sword + White Bone Demon Fire.

This strike had reached the master level.

Then, a shocking scene unfolded - the replica's actions mirrored Gu Qingfeng's exactly.

He also possessed the White Bone Demon Fire!

He executed the same Single Character Sun-Burning Sword.

The two pale lines collided in mid-air, locked in a stalemate. The extreme heat at their intersection point distorted space itself, as immensely solid and powerful energies compressed and annihilated each other.

After a moment of deadlock, both sword energies collapsed.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion shook the entire space, like a magnitude 10 earthquake.

Pale fire light erupted skyward like an atomic bomb, waves of extremely high temperature spreading from the center point, instantly destroying and igniting everything.

The former forest became a sea of fire, and within seconds, it turned to ash without even properly burning.

As the fire light dissipated, two figures stood unharmed - Gu Qingfeng and another Gu Qingfeng.

"You have the fire talent too?" Gu Qingfeng asked, slightly surprised.

The replica suddenly burst into cold laughter: "Do you feel despair now?"

"Yes, I do," Gu Qingfeng nodded, then lay down on the ground as if accepting his fate.

After lying down, he glanced at the replica and urged, "Go ahead."

The replica was stunned, not understanding the situation.

"What trick are you trying to pull?"

This time Gu Qingfeng even closed his eyes, looking completely at ease as he said, "You can do everything I can do, what trick could I possibly pull? Hurry up and do it, don't waste time."

The replica frowned, staring intently at the prone Gu Qingfeng: "You're giving up just like that? Don't you want to try again?"

"Try my ass! Stop wasting breath," Gu Qingfeng cursed.

He had no interest in doing pointless work - wasn't it better to wait and grow stronger?

The replica's frown deepened, but he still made his move.

Having identical strength to Gu Qingfeng, he was confident he could handle any tricks.

However, being cautious, the replica first activated the Wood King Sword.

"Green Wood Dragon Prison!"

Countless vine chains gleaming with black light bound Gu Qingfeng tightly.

Seeing that Gu Qingfeng truly offered no resistance and allowed himself to be bound, the replica finally felt somewhat assured.

He then activated his Diamond Body and Nine Bulls Two Tigers Strength to strike at Gu Qingfeng fiercely.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Golden light also erupted from Gu Qingfeng's body, blocking all the replica's punches without harm.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the replica impatiently: "Are you brainless? Don't you know you can't break through my defense like this? Use the Single Character Sun-Burning Sword! You idiot!"

Only by driving the White Bone Demon Fire with the Single Character Sun-Burning Sword could this master-level strike break through his defense.

The replica stopped hesitating and was about to strike.

But at this moment, a blood shadow suddenly appeared and attached itself to the replica's body.

Instantly, the replica's demeanor changed dramatically. Though his face remained identical to Gu Qingfeng's, his aura seemed completely different - dark and terrifying.

His eyes also turned blood-red.

"Oh? The real one has arrived?" Gu Qingfeng said with a smile.

The replica gave a cold laugh: "Indeed, I am the Mirror Demon."

"I know, aren't you number three among the Seven Demon Generals?"

This mention of being number three seemed to hit a nerve with the Mirror Demon, who immediately shouted in anger: "I am number two! Number two!"

Gu Qingfeng was stunned: "Everyone says you're number three."

"That's because they're blind! In terms of strength and talent, how could I, Mirror Demon, be inferior to that fool? I am truly the second-in-command under Blood Lord!"

Pfft!

Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh - apparently there was internal conflict among the Seven Demon Generals.

"Well then, number three who wants to be number two, what are you here for?"

"Silence! I am number two!" Mirror Demon exploded in rage.

"Gu Qingfeng, I'll give you a chance to live. You're so young yet possess strength comparable to a master. If you submit to me and help complete the grand plan of reviving Blood Lord, you can live."

"So killing everyone in Black Water Village and luring the Demon Hunters here was all to revive Blood Lord?"

Gu Qingfeng wasn't stupid; with simple deduction, he understood the scheme.

Mirror Demon looked at Gu Qingfeng with some admiration: "Not bad, you're quite clever. I originally planned to sacrifice you to the Blood Divine Son, but after seeing your strength, I developed an appreciation for your talent. The Blood Demon Cult currently needs capable people - are you willing to submit?"

"Wait, haven't you already made a copy of me? Why do you need me to submit?"

"Replicas cannot leave the Mirror Space, just as your reflection can't step out of a mirror. Moreover, if the original person dies, their reflection will die too."

Gu Qingfeng suddenly understood - so there were such limitations. Though thinking about it, if he could replicate freely, why would he still be number three?

"So, will you submit?"

"What if I say no?"

Mirror Demon gave a cold laugh: "You won't."

Gu Qingfeng was amused: "You're that confident?"

"You knew you couldn't defeat the replica and promptly gave up, showing you're someone who knows when to accept fate. And now, your life is in my hands - will you accept it or not?"

Gu Qingfeng smiled even more broadly, realizing his actions had led to this misunderstanding.

So Gu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Accept your mother's ass!"

"You dare!" Mirror Demon exploded in rage: "You're asking for death! Do you really think I won't kill you?"
