Several times clashing fists in the air, the two found their strength equally equal and retreated to keep their distance.
"You ..." The vindictive frowned, staring intently at Yan Xu.
Even though the hundred soul shards Yan Xu had just realized their strength, according to the supposedly vengeful Yan Xu was still unable to control the entire force.
With his great weight and experience of becoming a god, it was impossible for a low-level god to be able to control a power equivalent to a mid-level god like himself.
A low-level god who had just entered the intermediate level, shouldn't matter to him. But Yan Xu who was in front of him, had put up more resistance than he could think of.
After all, the Vindictive even needed to break down between consciousness and his original body in order to find Yan Xu's location. While his body was empty, his consciousness along with his soul had entered a different spatial law, where Yan Xu was.
If he loses here, then his existence will disappear forever.
"Although you said that your actions were to bring me to justice for deceiving destiny, it is in fact you yourself who have deceived destiny" Yan Xu said sternly.
"What fate can I deceive, when fate itself has deceived me first," Vindictive retorted.
This was not an action he had decided on in a moment, but countless things as well as endless suffering made him take this path.
Looking at the same man as her before being swallowed by the darkness, the Vindictive said in a cold voice, "You still haven't felt all my suffering. When the time comes, I'm sure you'll take the same path."
"Omong empty! In fact, even if the world were to be destroyed, I would not be willing to take the same path as you!" reply Yan Xu.
"I don't need a statement from my mouth that often lies. I am you, we have the same principle in saying things. Not with empty sentences, but with action!"
The vindictive ended his speech with a shout of fury, making the qi energy throughout his body emit a ferocious aura that could destroy anything.
"Indeed, the meaning of action always exceeds the spoken word of the spoken."
Yan Xu nodded in agreement, his eyes turning grim. The ever-flat calmness could be seen from how Yan Xu stood upright with his divine power.
Tormented because the fact about himself had been uncovered, Yan Xu's mental resilience gained a drastic improvement. He was no longer a person who would easily be distracted by his surroundings. The increase made Yan Xu able to maintain his composure, more than ever.
Wush!
Thus, the fight between Yan Xu's life-and-death and the Vindictive continued.
The vindictive took out an energy sword with a pitch-black aura and a blood-red glint from the empty air. He concentrated the qi energy on the sword hilt, making the energy sword change shape into the legendary sword known to Yan Xu.
"Word Sedu?"
Knowing the other party was himself, Yan Xu could not take for granted the fact that the Vindictive also possessed the same various types of weapons from the world he came from.
Not until there, the energy sword changes in the hands of the Vindictive, making the sword aura sharp. From the sword, came the shadow of a woman behind the Vindictive.
"There's now a shadow of Jing Dayu?"
In response to Yan Xu's astonishment, the Vindictive spoke in a mocking tone, "Heh, you've never even felt the true pinnacle of divine swordsmanship, know what you are."
Sword science referred to by the Vendor is one of the 'Incarnation' techniques, where the user of the technique can use sword techniques belonging to the shadow he is using.
Right now, the Vindictive was using Jing Dayu's shadow, it would be difficult for Yan Xu to face Jing Dayu's incarnation because his movements were unreadable and extremely sharp.
Not responding to the Vindictive reproach, Yan Xu manifested the same sword of sedu. However, when compared to the aura between the two, it was vastly different, meaning that the Vindictive's property was genuine, while Yan Xu looked like a cheap replica.
"You forgot the important thing in the sword" Yan Xu said as he shook his head.
"Huh? I'm more experienced than you. In fact, the aura from our swords is already a real proof of that!"
"Indeed, after using the incarnation of Jing Dayu you will stand at the peak of the divine sword technique can even be referred to as the Swordsman of the Celestial Swordsman. But! You've forgotten what Jing Dayu really looks like!"
Yan Xu shouted loudly with anger that made the air around him become hot.
The Jing Dayu he saw in that shadow, was not the Jing Dayu he knew through any timeline. However, Yan Xu was able to see how Jing Dayu's shadow was staring at the Vindictive who was already engulfed by the darkness.
Pity, reluctance and betrayal.
That was the feeling that emanated from the shadow of Jing Dayu who was behind the Vindictive.
"Indeed Jing Dayu who is behind you is a swordsman who may have reached the true pinnacle of sword techniques, but in my eyes, it is just a glass that is easily fragile!" yan Xu shouted while raising his sword.
Hearing the insults, the vengeful who usually only denounced put on a pouting face.
"CLOSED YOUR MOUTH!!!"
He shouted loudly while lunging towards Yan Xu at high speed.
The vindictive manoeuvred straight movements, then carried out a slash with a complicated trajectory that would head to Yan Xu's neck.
Seeing the trajectory of the vengeful sword, Yan Xu immediately gave a reply by brushing aside the other party's slash.
Tsing!
The slash was successful at the tepis, but the Vindictor immediately twisted his body and performed a kick.
Yan Xu raised his left arm to withstand the attack, while making a piercing motion into the Heart of the Vindictive.
The vindictive immediately pulled his foot, holding the prick with the body of the sword of Dayu. He took a few steps, then used a large arm made of qi energy to attack Yan Xu from the side.
Armed with armor made from a hundred soul fragments, Yan Xu hardened his defenses and received the attack straight away.
"Keugh!"
Despite knowing that the attack would be painful, Yan Xu was still not used to being hit by a powerful opponent.
He summoned his avatar immediately and smashed the ground under the feet of the huge avatar.
The 15,000-foot-tall avatar made the ground surface crumble easily, making the footing of the ground fly through the air.
Utilizing that, Yan Xu immediately exited his avatar then moved on the sidelines of the footing to obscure the opponent's vision.
"The cheap tricks won't work against me!"
The vindictive immediately cast his divine consciousness, but Yan Xu's presence was never found.
Realizing that something strange was going on, the Vindictive followed Yan Xu's way by moving through the footing that was in the air.
As his feet touched the footing, two burly hands pulled his feet.
"Because of you!"
From within that foothold, Yan Xu hid while suppressing the aura of his existence. Until the moment the Vindictive followed the steps he had taken, Yan Xu managed to catch both of his legs.
Of course it was not Yan Xu, but rather a clone he had made hastily using a bit of his giant avatar body parts.
The real Yan Xu was apparently still inside his avatar, which was why the avatar was still not lost.
Trapped in the grip of a strong hand, the Vindictive has not the slightest hint of panic in response to it. He casually pierced both arms using the sword, until it slipped out of the grip.
Not underestimating Yan Xu's ability in learning the thing he had just seen, the Vindictive immediately flew into the safe zone so as not to be hit by the trajectory of the great sword slash.
Yan Xu who knew that the other party was about to head for the safe zone had been waiting for him and had prepared with a strong posture.
"Divine sword technique."
Just 10 meters away from the safe zone, the Vendor could see Yan Xu who had been ready to attack him. He immediately steeled his entire body using qi energy to make his movements more flexible, he continued to advance without fear of the techniques unleashed by the other party.
Yan Xu admitted that anywhere, he would not advance without a sense of confidence in what could be dealt with. However, in this occasion he would throw away the habit and try his luck.
Five feet away, they faced each other.
The vindictive at full speed kicked Yan Xu's face until he bounced back. Meanwhile, the tip of Yan Xu's sword slash managed to hit the body of the vengeful sword.
'Aiya! Try what luck! It's just fiction!'
Yan Xu who was bouncing far back shouted inwardly. He had no chance to complain because the Vindictive immediately followed with a piercing motion.
The tip of the sword of the vengeful is very sharp coupled with the attitude and movement of the sword, making the technique always smooth and can give the most painful blow to his opponent!
"If you think this world is just a useless fantasy, you better get rid of it right away!" shouted the vengeful while thrusting the sword of sedu right into Yan Xu's neck.
Yan Xu immediately kicked the body part of the vengeful sword to shift the other party's puncture direction slightly. He pumped out the qi energy from his dantian core and immediately created a formation in empty air.
The formation of the five main elements was formed with all five element symbols floating in the radiant air. From the circle of light came a light missile that headed to the dantian point of the vengeful hand holding the sword.
Knowing Yan Xu wanted to attack the dantian point of his hand, the Vindictor also set up a protective formation. The energy protector immediately deflected Yan Xu's attack, meanwhile Yan Xu disappeared somewhere as the Submerged's attention was fixed on the defensive formation array.
"Fantasy? A game? I am also aware that this is reality and is my second chance to look after them, as well as eliminate you for good!" yan Xu shouted that had already appeared from behind and was performing ten slashes to the back of the Vindictive.
The vindictive who knew he could not dodge the attack, immediately drew his sword and let the body of the sword wither receive that powerful slash.
Receiving a powerful sword slash that was equivalent to the existence of a god, made the vengeful sword wither shaken. The two people could hear the sound of shards from within the eyes of the vengeful sword.
The impact of the shards, made the incarnation of Jing Dayu who was behind the Vindictive shatter into pieces and become spots of light, then disappear in the empty air.
Realizing something was wrong, the Vindictive immediately took advantage of the time lag on Yan Xu's attack to take some distance then said, "So, that's your plan. From the beginning, you were only aiming for the sword, not me."
During this time, Yan Xu's attacks could be withstood because the other party was deliberately eyeing the matter. In fact, no matter how legendary the war was, it still had limited durability.
Continuously smashed with the destructive power of a god and the divine sword technique that had reached the peak to be able to create a dimensional rift, the Vindictive's sword withered finally became fragile.
His original intentions had been guessed and Yan Xu still shook his head because it was only half a correct answer.
"I'm impressed you can understand the latter quickly and immediately prevent any loss to yourself. It's just, it's still half right."
Yan Xu showed a disappointed expression on his handsome face. With a condescending look, he still stared low at the Vindictive glaring at him.
The vindictive who was not completely blinded by anger nor resentment for his delay in understanding Yan Xu's original intentions, began to realize how far the other party planned to exert pressure on him.
It began to be realized since Jing Dayu's form slowly disappeared, indicating that he would never be able to use Jing Dayu's full strength because he was no longer his incarnation.
Not only that, the relationship between the Vindictive and Jing Dayu who came from the same world as her had been permanently severed. He can't call or be Jing Dayu's incarnation anymore, regardless of how hard he tries to bring her back.
"You!"
The vindictive gnashed his teeth, glaring at Yan Xu who was smiling crookedly towards him.
Aware of the Vindictive emotions that came to the surface, Yan Xu started a little psychological game to kick those emotions all out.
"Really! Do you think I don't know about something hidden by you?— Ha! Naive!"
Yan Xu brandished his middle finger with a wide smile that grew increasingly crooked.
Originally, he could not see the true intent of the Vindictive until the moment his face was struck, Yan Xu realized something was wrong.
How could a hundred soul fragments come out of his body?
Why did the fight between them not make a terrible shock to the world?
It's all because they're not in the real world. They were in another realm, where his soul was in action, while the original body was empty silent within the laws of closed space.
It is impossible for anyone to create a law of space that can describe almost any event in any timeline looks exactly like reality, unless it is an illusion and the like.
This time, the arrival of the Vindictive was not just to eliminate him. There was still one more hidden intent that he deeply stored away.
Yan Xu again opened his mouth and said, "The immortal body is indeed indestructible, but that does not mean that the soul within it is indestructible, then it is replaced by another soul that has a high match with the body."
Yan Xu pointed towards the Vindictive then said, "You! Who are you?!"
Slowly, a Vindictive form similar to her began to change back.
It has no form, it is the original form of the Vindictive.
Yan Xu believed in a universe that might just split into several branches and go hand in hand with them. However, he did not believe that himself from another universe would do such a sloppy thing to invade another universe for no good reason.
If they were the same person, the tragedy that befell Lan Xihe, Ye Miao'er and Yaoyao at the beginning of this endless tragedy of suffering began, it would be impossible for it to be done without the compelling reason that accompanied it.
Just jealous? No way, there must be something else!
That was how he believed from the beginning of their fight until now. After exchanging blows to the looks of killing each other also voiced their respective thoughts, Yan Xu was increasingly convinced there was still something else.
The vindictive also learns that he cannot hide his true intentions as long as they fight. Sooner or later, Yan Xu would realize something was wrong and he would explain everything the moment it arrived.
The vindictive who looks angry, now has no skin and only has a human body shape. There was still a sense of hostility emanated, yet he still looked calm from his posture.
He once again introduced himself, "I am you, the difference is true that I am the result of you being swallowed up by darkness. You managed to become a god in another universe, but the whole relationship you went through would be a torment to yourself. Your existence, which has become a god, begins to disappear from the universe you occupy, those who are always with you as if they do not know that you are in that world."
"Initially, I thought it was common and took on my role as a god to protect them. However, slowly, the erosion began to take hold of me, the entire relationship that had been formed began an upheaval in my heart. Day after day passed, I was more and more tormented, until I finally did a taboo for the gods."
"You're meddling in world affairs?" guess Yan Xu.
The vindictive nodded, justifying Yan Xu's guess then said, "Can you guess what happens next?"
Yan Xu placed his finger on the chin as if thinking hard then said, "The universe you are in ends tragically into dust? In fact, after breaking that taboo, you still have divine power. With that divine power, you search for other universes that run side by side with all of you, and then you find the truth that our universe is almost the same and filled with the life you know?"
"Right, but also wrong," vindictive.
"What's wrong?" yan Xu asked raising one of his eyebrows.
"Our universe is the same, it's just that humans live differently. Like you were reincarnated into yourself before the disaster on Earth happened, do you think you are still the same person as Yan Xu who was in the starting timeline?"
Yan Xu shook his head and said, "We're different, because that's ...."
Yan Xu widened his eyelids as if surprised by what he had just realized.
Seeing that reaction, the Vindictive was confident that Yan Xu had gained the same understanding as him. He no longer had enmity because the person who spoke opposite him, was no longer a person who knew nothing about the truth of this universe.
