1103: Chapter 189: The Imitator 1103: Chapter 189: The Imitator “They’re screaming about friendship, bonds, the future, and whatnot, just charging over…”
Lu Ping’an waved the Demon Sword in his hand, its excessive length limiting its trajectory, but the sword’s innate strong “Beheading” Property required no sophisticated techniques.
To this bizarre Demon Sword, life ant nothing.
Necks, waists, chests—it held no interest in relatively non-lethal parts like arms and legs; every “slash” was aid to kill.
With each beheading, a “person” fell.
This was a truly bloodthirsty Demon Sword with a life of its own, yearning for life, or more precisely, thirsting for blood and souls.
The “flesh and blood” of the physical layer would nd its flaws, while the “soul and body” from the spiritual realm made it more complete.
The bloodthirsty Demon Sword was exceptionally beautiful; with each half-moon and full-moon shaped silver arc, it harvested life around it rapidly and elegantly.
Lu Ping’an was no longer a swordmaster; he was a Beast Tar tightening the reins.
This sword had no techniques other than slashing, and its excessive length allowed for wide-range slashes, making its efficiency in massacres extraordinarily high.
As a vessel, where the essence of an Abyss creature had been awakened, the combined Abyss Properties of “massacre,” “devour,” and “evolution” made it increasingly powerful…
Lu Ping’an could even feel the feedback of “strength recovery,” enabling him to battle even longer.
“Beheading.”
Lu Ping’an calmly activated the “Beheading” Property ti and again, allowing it to harvest life on its own.
Yet, despite this, the Crystal life forms continued to throw themselves forward, one after another.
Why?
That was because inside the fortress, a mountain of crystals was gathering.
Countless yellow crystals ford an egg, apparently with Eve doing sothing inside…
and as soon as Lu Ping’an approached, these creatures would frenziedly obstruct him.
“Forced Advancent?”
“Impossible, entering Rule-level isn’t that easy, she’s only ‘ten years old,’ her body may be mature, but her consciousness and spirit are immature, and her ‘Soul and Body’ are not unified.”
Though this eased Lu Ping’an’s mind sowhat, allowing the boss to transform was clearly foolish.
He continued to swing “Eve’s Joy Sword,” reaping the lives before him…
“Bang!”
However, the reaction of the other side was quicker than expected.
Three more Dimons stood in front of Lu Ping’an.
Although he found Eve quite detestable, she had indeed collected what she considered the most useful “Strongman templates” recently.
And now, what stood before him were modified creations.
One Dimon had bulging muscles and a thick carapace, looking like a standing beetle.
One had a scorpion tail and large pincers, and the last one even more blatantly revealed Eve’s prejudice…
“Geez, such a big green fly, truly disgusting…”
Buzzing in the sky was the Fly-man Dimon…
in Lu Ping’an’s eyes, this one was the most accurately recreated.
And it seed to hint that, even subconsciously, Eve regarded it as nothing more than an insect.
But still, these were three enhanced “hero units,” War Beasts that had mutated from the Biological Module.
Each one’s combat power was probably no lower than an average fourth-tier combat Profession.
As long as there was enough Biomatter, Eve’s production of part-ti reinforcent soldiers was endless…
“Beheading.”
Lu Ping’an stepped forward and retracted his blade, then in the next mont, swung it fiercely.
The Giant Beast’s head fell off straight away, but what was bizarre was that the creature didn’t collapse imdiately.
The headless beetle-like Monster continued to charge, attempting to hinder Lu Ping’an’s advance.
“Resistance?
No, that shouldn’t be possible…
cut off its own head?”
Lu Ping’an was astounded.
These crystal life forms that had gathered together still possessed a semblance of life, opting to mutilate themselves to avoid the terrifying soul extraction.
Even without their “heads,” they could still rely on muscular reactions to impede Lu Ping’an for a while.
At this mont, on the left was the pouncing scorpion tail, and above was the bombardnt from the green-headed flies.
It seed Lu Ping’an’s long sword wouldn’t be able to retract in ti.
“…
Fire ring?
Blade edge?”
Lu Ping’an knew it was already too late to switch swords.
This damned Secret Realm even suppressed his own “Soldier” and “Weapon Master” profession severely.
In such circumstances, the only thing he could still rely on was his own “body.”
“Bird, Cat.”
With his hands spread open, two “beasts” lunged out.
The Spirit Ghost, transford into a winged ray of golden light, crashed into the “fly,” while ow had already pounced on the giant scorpion, its claws and javelin tearing through the monster.
Only magic can conquer magic…
similar abilities engaged in a direct contest.
“Within three seconds, I win!”
The Spirit Ghost’s burst of speed was rapidly depleting; the “Cat” and “Bird,” after an initial advantage in suppression, quickly weakened and even vanished.
Never challenge an opponent’s specialty with your own amateur skills.
Indeed, there was an absolute power differential between Lu Ping’an and Eve in “puppeteering.”
But this mont had afforded Lu Ping’an enough ti, and he closed in on the giant egg.
Looking at the gigantic egg, Lu Ping’an sighed.
“Beheading…”
He attempted to swing his sword, but this ti…
“Clang!”
It was the sound of sword eting sword!
The next instant, countless silver flashes twinkled across the sky, but this ti, they weren’t coming from Lu Ping’an!
“…
This is just cheating!”
While parrying the slashing blows, Lu Ping’an pulled away in distance—he definitely did not want to be beheaded as well.
And the entity parrying Lu Ping’an’s blade and delivering these strikes was also a set of sharp blades…
in a state far too similar to Lu Ping’an’s own.
Eve drifted out from within the “egg,” her form already significantly changed.
The most noticeable change was the spiky bones protruding from her back, each as sharp as a silver knife.
“Ever heard of royalties…”
Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly, glancing back at the recent battlefield.
The “Demon Sword materials” he had discarded while crafting the “Beheading Sword” must have been absorbed and reassembled by her.
She might not be able to develop targeted resistance or immunity materials in the short term, but cobbling together “blades of the sa material” was barely within reach.
Her “bone spikes” showed signs of crumbling upon colliding with Lu Ping’an’s own, but in the face of that visibly rapid Regeneration, such material disadvantages at this level were negligible.
What left Lu Ping’an even more speechless was her current form of war.
She, too, now had eight arms…
those crystal exoskeleton armors mimicking bone were clearly crude imitations of Lu Ping’an’s ard state.
But let’s face it, this armor wasn’t there for defense.
“Has the era changed…”
Looking at the various ranged firearms and lee weapons on those arms, Lu Ping’an felt a resigned frustration, as if he had lifted a stone only to drop it on his own feet.
Indeed, Eve was “underage,” suggesting her malleability and potential for growth were strong.
At a ti when she was desperate for power, she naturally evolved into a form better suited for war from her influenced experiences…
it’s just that the battle form was more than seventy percent similar to Lu Ping’an’s, and even he couldn’t explain why.
