Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 266 Whose Dead End
The strong wind broke through his face, and the mountain stream swept backwards. Now he was far away from the battlefield. Wuzhan looked down and saw Shisui's figure passing through the mountain stream, which did not get farther away at all. Wuzhan knew that Shisui would never let him go, so he did not flee back to the barracks, so as not to affect the soldiers in the army.

Wuzhan had explored the mountain stream here in advance. Ahead was a ravine that got deeper and deeper. Under the ravine was an underground river that flowed into a cave and went to an unknown destination. It was a dead end. Only Wuzhan knew why he chose this dead end. Some things were unavoidable. Since they were unavoidable, the only way to survive was to risk one's life.

Lingkongzi's flying speed slowed down, not because of lack of physical strength, but to allow Shisui to see more clearly. They were not escaping at all, but were trying to lure Shisui into a dead end. This would be a fierce battle.

The water flow was very steady, but it was very deep underneath with countless whirlpools hidden. However, this did not pose a problem for Zhishui. He stepped on the water without splashing a drop of water, but his body had already jumped several feet away. Seeing that there was a thousand-foot-high cliff in front of him, he knew that Lingkongzi would never escape with Li Zhong, so Zhishui felt relieved and quickened his pace.

Wuzhan landed steadily on the water, stood with his hands behind his back, his back to the high cliff, waiting for the rushing Shishui. Lingkongzi spread his wings, avoided him from afar, and landed on the shore. He could not take part in this battle.

Seeing that Wuzhan finally stopped running and changed from running to walking, Shishui needed to calm his breathing, so each step was slow and steady, because he had sensed Wuzhan's unfathomable gaze, and he could not underestimate the enemy, because he had not yet figured out how Fenyuan died. After his breathing became steady, Shishui was less than ten feet away from Wuzhan and stopped.

Shisui sneered, "Why don't you run away?"

"Asking knowingly."

"You didn't expect this to be a dead end, did you?"

"This is not a dead end. The exit is right behind the real person."

Shisui said: "The entrance behind Benzhen is indeed the exit, but behind you is a dead end."

Wuzhan said in a deep voice: "There is an exit in front of me, but there is a dead end in front of you!"

Shisui chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a bad-mouthed kid. Do you think it's still useful to talk now?"

"I won't say anything that's useless."

"Do you think you can outspeak a sword in the hands of Ben Zhen?"

"Swords can't talk."

Shisui said: "But the sword will shut you up forever."

"The real sword can't do that yet."

Shisui almost laughed his head off, "Do you know what kind of sword Benzhen is holding? Do you know how many people in the world can catch Benzhen's eye?"

“No one can get into the eyes of a real person. The eyes of a real person are now under your nose.”

Shisui couldn't laugh anymore, "You are so arrogant even when you are about to die. It seems that you can't keep your body intact."

"It's really impossible, let the real person take action!" Wuzhan was even calmer than Shisui, and he didn't even prepare any defensive moves.

Shisui said, "Okay, I'll ask you one last question. How did Fenyuan die?"

"The real person can just ask him directly."

Shisui was furious. He didn't expect that the boy in front of him had been so rampant. His sword also became angry. A silver light pierced out, and the water surface under his feet squeezed out an arc. His figure disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of Wuzhan.

Perhaps the sword was too fast to dodge, or perhaps he didn't want to dodge at all. Wuzhe faced the sword light that broke through the air without making any move, as if he was waiting for death.

'Puff...' The sword pierced into Wuzhan's chest without any hindrance. Even Shisui had never thought that Wuzhan would be killed so quickly. But then, the body turned into water splashes and fell into the water. Shisui's heart trembled, because what he stabbed was just an illusion.

Where is Wuzhan's real body, and when did it disappear? Before he could figure it out, he felt a strong wind coming from behind him. How could it hit Shisui at such a speed? Shisui didn't turn around, and the giant sword seemed to have eyes, turning the water droplets shot from behind into mist.

Shisui raised his sword, turned around, and looked coldly at Wuzhe who was three meters away, "He is indeed quite capable. He actually knows the long-lost shadow technique."

Wuzhan said: "Thanks for the compliment!"

"This is nothing but a trick. How can it deceive the true eyes of the Dharma? Prepare to die!" Another mighty sword thrust out. Shisui was sure that this figure must be the real one because he could sense the flow of breath when Wuzhai spoke.

Wuzhan still did not dodge. The moment the sword stabbed in, it turned into water splashes again. Then a strong wind came from behind him again. This time it was not water drops, but a figure. Shishui turned around quickly, and the sword swept out. "Wow..." The figure turned into water splashes again, splashing Shishui. Wuzhan's figure appeared behind Shishui again.

Shisui was really angry, anyone would be angry if they were toyed with like this, but Shisui held it in, he needed to calm down and find his true self without any obstacles, "Do you think you can beat your true self if you continue like this?"

Wuzhan said: "It is the real person who wants to kill me, and as long as I am not killed, I will be the winner."

"If you are really wise, you should hand over the plague box, abandon the dark and join the light. After the restoration of the Great Zhou, you will surely become an important official with your talents." "I am now valued by your majesty. Although I am not second to the emperor, I am already above ten thousand people. Why should I go through so much trouble to restore the Great Zhou with you?"

"Not only are you arrogant, but you also don't know how to appreciate courtesy!" Shishui swung his sword and stabbed directly at Wuzhan's face, but the sword was just a feint. When he was about to hit him, he suddenly turned his body and swept the sword behind him. He judged that Wuzhan was still an illusion because there was no true energy in his body.

But when he turned around and chopped with all his might, he did not see Wuzhan's figure flying out of the water. He immediately realized that Wuzhan's body could not perceive true energy, and he had left the open door behind him to Wuzhan. Although it was only for a moment, and although Shishui's open door was very small, it would be fatal in a duel between strong men. In desperation, the true energy that protected his body burst out instantly to defend against the attack from behind.

The waves spread out in all directions, but Wuzhan still stood there, his robe fluttering in the strong wind, and he did not make any move at all.

Shisui was really furious, he felt that his action just now was laughable, he had overestimated the boy in front of him, he was just bluffing, he couldn't grasp the opportunity at all, or he didn't have that strength. But at this moment, a cool breeze suddenly blew from behind, faster than the last time, and he was caught off guard. The protective Qi had just been shot out, and it was difficult to condense in an instant, so the door was wide open.

The duel between strong men is always a test at the beginning, testing the opponent's speed, moves, internal strength, and true energy. Shisui is no exception, but his initial judgments were all wrong. This time the speed exceeded his expectations, and when he turned around, the water droplets had reached his chest.

'Pah!' Several drops of water hit his chest at the same time, and Shisui's body shook backwards, sliding half a meter before stopping. Fortunately, Shisui had tilted his body a little, and the water drops did not hit his vital points, but the feeling was still very uncomfortable.

Shisui held the huge angry sword in his hand, standing between the two figures, looking around coldly, trying to judge which of the two figures was the real one, or maybe neither of them was the real one, and said, "It's really cunning!" He needed Wuzhai to continue talking to judge.

"There is no need to praise the master anymore, just take action." This sentence was said by Wuzhan on the left, and it was said very politely.

"Do you dare to tell me your master? I really want to know who trained a shameless boy like you?"

"Didn't the famous and upright Huangshan also train a well-known rebel? Compared with him, I am just a little thick-skinned." This sentence was said by Wuzhan on the right, and it was very sharp.

Shisui couldn't help but get angry, this was his shame, he stepped on the water and swung his sword towards Wuzhan on the left. The several-foot-long sword light instantly hit him, splashing water everywhere. He turned around and swung another sword, hitting Wuzhan on the right, splashing water everywhere again. This was still an illusion.

The two phantoms disappeared, and Wuzhan's figure appeared behind Shisui again. This time Shisui captured that the figure rose from the water surface, and Wuzhan's real body should be under water. This time he did not hesitate and slashed with his sword. He wanted to kill whoever he saw, and he didn't believe that Wuzhan would hide under the water and not come out to catch his breath.

I saw Shishui wielding a majestic giant sword, silver light swirling, and wherever the sword passed, water splashed into mist and spread out in all directions, shattering more than a dozen phantoms in succession, but still failed to capture Wuzhe's real body.

He didn't know what Wuzhan consumed when using this spell, and when it would be exhausted, but his true energy was consumed a lot because he had to guard against Wuzhan's sneak attacks. If this went on, he would not be able to kill them all even if he continued to strike until dawn. He seemed to have entered a trap set by Wuzhan and was being led by the nose. No matter how strong his cultivation was, it was useless and he could only vent his anger with phantoms.

Shisui shouted angrily, shattering the illusion, stopping the giant sword in his hand, and glaring at Wuzhe who was slowly rising.

Wuzhan said: "It seems that even the real person gets tired sometimes."

Shisui said: "Using such a lowly method won't be enough to tire Benzhen!"

"Oh, then why did the real person stop? Did he want to give up on killing me, or was he wondering where my real body was?"

"The truth will dig out your true self sooner or later!"

"Master, have you ever thought about why I want to bring you here?"

"It's just to make it easier for you to play your tricks here."

"You only answered one of them correctly, but it is not the most important one. Imagine, if our Qin army attacks at night, can the Baiyue coalition army stop it?"

When Zhishui heard this, his heart trembled. He never expected that Wuzhan lured him here to attack the coalition forces at night. The coalition forces found out that without him, how could they break out of the siege? If he didn't rush back as soon as possible, even if he took back the magic weapon and destroyed the Qin army, the efforts of the past few years would be wasted, and it would be difficult to unite such a large army in the future. Only at this moment did he realize that Wuzhan was indeed terrifying. What was terrifying was not his martial arts, but his wisdom.

Shisui started to get anxious and cursed, "You bastard, show up if you have the guts. What's the point of hiding under the water like a turtle?"

"In terms of cultivation, I may not be your opponent. Fortunately, a duel requires strategy, otherwise I would have no choice but to admit defeat." This sentence was undoubtedly scolding Shisui for being just a reckless man.

Shisui said fiercely: "Well, Benzhen will let you see before you die, which is harder, your head or my sword!" He leaped up and hung upside down in the air, the giant sword dancing, silver light flashing, his true energy surging and endless, in an instant, the giant sword rolled up into a whirlpool on the water surface, which spun faster and faster, expanding rapidly, making a rumbling low sound.

Shisui shouted, "Get out!" The giant sword burst out with silver light, and thousands of sword energies shuttled through the water, making a huge roar. If they continued to hide underwater, their eardrums would either be shattered or they would be hit by the sword energy. This was Shisui's top killer move, 'Inverting the Peaks', which was more advanced than three years ago.

'Bang...' Countless water columns broke out of the water, more than ten feet high, and fell down. The giant sword spun, and the light drew a huge full moon. Another 'Clouds and Seas Overturned' move turned the water drops falling like heavy rain into mist, flattened the water surface, and made a tsunami sound.

However, Wuzhan did not break out of the water as Shishui expected. There was only one answer: the motionless figure standing on the water in the waves was Wuzhan's real body.

"Clang..." The giant sword stabbed towards Wuzhan with the force of thunder. Shisui would never miss this opportunity and was determined to kill him with one blow.
