Limitless Arrogant Sovereign

After Ye Xiu asked, Ye Long answered.    

"Someone's here?"    

In regards to Ye Long's answer, Ye Xiu's eyes revealed a look of doubt.    

If there was someone, there was someone. If there was no one, there was no one. What do you mean there seemed to be someone?    

Ye Long could clearly feel the entire floor, so he should not be unsure if there was anyone there.    

"Ye Long, explain it more clearly. Why does it seem like there are people around?" Ye Xiu could not help but ask.    

"Master, I don't know either. My perception can cover the entire floor, but this person's movements are strange. I can't pinpoint his location." Ye Long replied.    

There was no way to lock onto the target, so Ye Long could only use the word 'seemingly', and didn't dare to be sure of it.    

"Master, he's coming your way!"    

Not long after Ye Long finished speaking, its voice once again rang out.    

"I got it!"    

Ye Xiu took a deep breath, then his entire being became alert.    

However, he had only just entered the first level, so Ye Xiu tried his best to restrain himself from opening all three of the doors.    

However, if they were in danger, there was nothing they could do about it. Even if they opened three gates, they would still be unable to resolve the danger.    

Since this Nine Profound Trial Tower was named after the trial, then perhaps the danger was not fixed.    

It could be said that the person who Ye Long couldn't lock onto was probably not one of the disciples who participated in the trial. Otherwise, why wouldn't Ye Long have been able to lock onto him?    

"Master, he's here!"    

When Ye Xiu was holding onto the Heaven Sword's vigilance, Ye Long's voice sounded once again, but this time, the former also saw the person that appeared in front of her eyes.    

Of course, it would be more accurate to say that this wasn't a human, but just an illusion.    

However, even if it was just an illusion, he still had to pay attention to it, because it was extremely likely to cause him harm.    

"Ye Long, do you know what it is?"    

Ye Xiu stared at the human-like image and asked in his mind.    

And because it was only the shadow's relationship, it was normal for Ye Long to not be able to lock onto it.    

"Master, I'm not sure about that, but it should be similar to a challenge!" Ye Long analyzed.    

When Ye Long finished speaking, he saw the shadow slowly approaching Ye Xiu.    

Of course, when the illusion came over, Ye Xiu did not feel any sense of danger from its body, which meant that the illusion did not have any destructive power.    

However, this was, after all, a trial for trial-takers. Therefore, the illusion definitely would not be useless.    

As a result, seeing that the shadow was slowly approaching him, Ye Xiu did not take the initiative to meet it head on, but instead used his movement technique to dodge it.    

But as time passed, the illusion could not be shaken off at all, as if it was sticking to Ye Xiu.    

"Master, this isn't the way out. It seems like you won't be able to escape this illusion." Ye Long replied.    

"Then what do we do? Don't tell me we're going to go and gobble it up?" Ye Xiu frowned.    

"Master, that's the only thing we can do. If you run away like this, what will happen if you store more of these things? Then there's nothing we can do about it." Ye Long reminded.    

Even if there was only one shadow targeting Ye Xiu right now, since there was one, then perhaps they would meet a second one after walking for a while.    

At that time, the difficulty would double.    

As such, rather than regret it when the time comes, he might as well take the initiative now and fight for the initiative.    

As for what this figure was, other than the disciples of Nine Profound Sect, no one else knew.    

"Alright!"    

After hearing Ye Xiu's words, Ye Xiu stopped in his tracks, holding onto the Heaven Sword, he waited for the mysterious man to come over.    

"Buzz buzz!"    

When the illusion came in contact with Ye Xiu, a light sound of ripples could be heard, and then Ye Xiu realized that the scene in front of him had turned black, as if he had entered some sort of special environment.    

"Master, this illusion seems to want to fight with you?" Ye Long said.    

Only after hearing Ye Long's voice, did Ye Xiu realize that although the surrounding environment had changed, the image in front of his eyes still existed. Furthermore, the image seemed to have solidified at this time.    

"Do you want to fight me?" Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched the shadow take a fighting stance.    

And in the next second, the illusion moved, with both of his fists clenched, it directly flew straight at Ye Xiu.    

"Kill!"    

Seeing this situation, Ye Xiu did not hesitate to slash at the Heaven Sword in his hand.    

However, what Ye Xiu did not expect was that when the Heaven Sword in his hand landed on the illusion, the sword actually passed through the opponent's body, and did not even manage to attack.    

"What's going on?"    

Seeing that the Heaven Sword in his hands was not able to unleash the slightest bit of lethality, Ye Xiu revealed a shocked expression.    

"Bam!"    

And at this time, the two fists of the mysterious man landed on Ye Xiu's body, the powerful impact directly knocking him back a few meters.    

Of course, Ye Xiu's body was protected by a top-grade Internal Armor, and when his fists landed on Ye Xiu's body, he used his movement technique to dissipate half of the force, so he wasn't injured.    

But even so, the place where he was hit caused some pain. This meant that the illusion in front of him could truly attack a person's body.    

But now, there was a question. Why couldn't the Heaven Sword in Ye Xiu's hands hit his opponent effectively?    

"Could it be that this illusion didn't use a Xuan Artifact, so I have to fight it barehanded?" Ye Xiu muttered in his heart.    

While he was muttering, the figure attacked Ye Xiu once again.    

"Let's give it a try!"    

Seeing the figure that was once again rushing towards him, Ye Xiu kept the Heaven Sword in his hand, and used both of his hands to meet the opponent's attack.    

"Eight Trigram Palm!"    

With a stern shout from his mouth, Ye Xiu stepped onto the Eight Trigrams Shadowless Step, and his entire person finally became serious.    

Of course, because he had sensed the attack power of the simulacrum earlier and realized that its power was not strong, Ye Xiu had not opened the third door yet.    

Ye Xiu's opening of the three gates was still quite a burden to his body, so unless it was a critical moment, it would be best not to rashly use it.    

Moreover, although Ye Xiu's cultivation was not high, but if it was a close combat, then his fighting strength was definitely on par with her.    

"Bang bang!"    

When Ye Xiu's palms clashed with the shadow, the feeling of his fists hitting flesh was extremely real.    

"Eat my palm!"    

On the basis of using the Eight Trigrams Palm and the Eight Trigrams Shadowless Step, Ye Xiu cleverly used an evasion technique to find the illusion's attack loophole, and then directly threw a palm strike straight at it.    

"Bam!"    

Following the sound of a battle of attrition, the figure was directly pushed back by Ye Xiu.    

When Ye Xiu realized that the situation was just as he had expected, his mouth slightly moved, and after his eyes focused, he started to attack again.    

Since his bare hands could hit the opponent, then Ye Xiu would naturally not be polite. Because he still had to find someone else, he had to finish this battle quickly.    

"Bang, bang, bang!"    

But as time passed, Ye Xiu suddenly realized that his own strength did not seem to be enough to completely defeat the illusion in front of him.    

Although Ye Xiu had defeated his opponent in terms of moves, because of the lack of strength, who knew how long this competition would last.    

Ye Xiu did not have much time to waste here, so when he thought about this, his eyes congealed and the Profound Power in his body immediately became berserk.    

"Open the door! Open!"    

When a shout came out, Ye Xiu unhesitatingly opened the first door in his body.    

And with the help of the door, Ye Xiu's strength naturally increased by quite a bit. In addition to the Eight Trigram Palm's original amplitude, that illusion started to dissipate bit by bit under the continuous attacks.    

"Destroy!"    

After Ye Xiu gave a stern shout, he once again mixed his palm with the powerful Profound Power and directly slapped over.    

With this slap, the image of the battle between Ye Xiu and herself disappeared.    

"Hu!"    

Seeing that he had completely dispersed the shadow, Ye Xiu let out a light breath, and in the next second, he found himself back inside the maze.    

"Master!"    

Just as Ye Xiu was preparing to continue on his journey, Ye Long's voice suddenly came out again.    

"Master, look behind you." Ye Long reminded her repeatedly.    

Hearing that, Ye Xiu immediately turned around, and in the next second, he was startled by the image that appeared in front of him.    

One had to know that Ye Xiu had only defeated one shadow, so why would another shadow appear now?    

However when Ye Xiu was forced two or three steps back and was preparing to attack again, he realized that something was amiss, because the image gave him a sense of familiarity.    

"Why does this phantom look so similar to me?" Ye Xiu muttered with his brows tightly knitted.    

"Master, this should be your illusion. If I'm not wrong, the illusion that you just defeated was left behind by someone else in this maze. But now that you've been defeated, your illusion is left here." Ye Long said.    

And when Ye Long's voice fell, Ye Xiu saw that his own illusion started to move, and it directly passed through the walls of the maze and disappeared.    

"This ?"    

Seeing his figure disappear just like that, Ye Xiu didn't know what to say, he obviously didn't know what the result would be.    

Although the Eight Trigrams Palm and Eight Trigrams Shadowless Step that Ye Xiu had previously used was not anything special, this place was not part of the martial arts world, so the Eight Trigrams Palm was definitely a godly skill to this world.    

Therefore, if someone else were to encounter this image of Ye Xiu's, the result could be imagined.    

If Ye Xiu was not mistaken, his previous move had already been engraved by the mysterious man, so anyone who fought against his image could know the outcome.    

"Looks like I have to find the three of them as soon as possible. If I were to encounter their phantoms, wouldn't I lose without a doubt?" Ye Xiu said.    

Even if Leng Yue met with his afterimage, Ye Xiu knew that the probability of winning was not high. After all, the Eight Trigrams Palm was a very skillful palm technique, the moment it was unleashed, it would change unpredictably, causing one to not know how to defend.
