Chapter 162 Night Candle Rules 40 One wave subsides, another rises...
Nanmen Jue was disgusted and acted with exceptional ruthlessness.
The mirror image of Zhou Yiming, who was at the forefront, blocked a few attacks but couldn't hold them off and started to move in a mess. The mirror image of Ying Yao quickly came to support her. Facing the attack from both sides at the same time, Nanmen Jue just sneered. The white bone knife in her hand slipped from her grasp. She quickly ducked to avoid the attacks from both sides and caught the falling bone knife with her backhand. In just a fraction of a second, she slashed the mirror image of Zhou Yiming's thigh with the knife.
Mirror Day cried out as a cut appeared on his leg, from which a white, misty stream flowed out, truly resembling blood.
"Indeed impressive." He grimaced, completely betraying his usual aloof and superior demeanor. "It hurts quite a bit. We can actually feel pain?"
Neither of the two people still fighting paid any attention to it.
Seeing that they were fighting fiercely, Jingxiang Zhou glanced around with his bright eyes and actually started watching the show from the sidelines.
It discovered that Nanmenjue fought with nothing but ruthlessness, disregarding all consequences in order to win. At this point, unless they could overpower her in one go, she would only become more courageous after being thwarted, which would be detrimental to them.
However, no matter how strong Nanmen Jue is, she is only one person. The best strategy for her is to let the mirror image Ying Yao wear her down first, and then let it attack when she is exhausted.
It was so cunning, but Nanmen Jue wasn't stupid either. As soon as it retreated, Nanmen Jue realized its intentions.
"Zhou Yiming, your true form is so concerned about your image, are you just going to let yourself wander around like this?" She leaped up, dodging Ying Yao's attack with a backflip, and shouted at him in the meantime, "Guess what he'll do if he knows you told me all this?"
Mirror Zhou Yiming's expression changed slightly. "It seems you are very confident that you can still survive even if the two of us attack you."
Mirror Image Yingyao struck Nanmen Jue's shoulder heavily with a palm strike, and a clear sound of bone cracking rang out. Nanmen Jue's face turned pale, but his expression remained unchanged. He then stabbed the bone knife into Mirror Image Yingyao's neck with his other hand.
Just as Ying Yao managed to dodge backward at the last moment, a deep gash was still cut into it, and white mist-like airflow flowed out. Its body seemed to have become more transparent.
Nanmen Jue affixed a healing talisman to his shoulder, spat out the stagnant blood, and smiled at the two mirror images.
"If you don't attack together directly, it seems like you can't overpower me."
What would be the result if she couldn't control them? She would defeat them one by one.
The two mirror images exchanged a glance and silently launched an attack on Nanmen Jue at the same time.
Rather than being defeated one by one, let's just go all out!
Nanmen Jue smiled even more brightly, but her eyes were extremely solemn. She realized that this was also a life-or-death moment for her, and she had to make a decision.
Just then, Yu Wanyan, who had been rushing over, finally arrived. When she saw the three gold-medal-wielding warriors fighting in front of her, her vision went black.
"How come there's one more?!"
Nanmen Jue was taken aback. She thought Yu Wanyan would take the opportunity to leave and no longer participate in this dangerous battle, but she didn't expect her to still chase after her, looking like she was waiting for the right moment to intervene.
"Don't come any closer!" Nanmen Jue shouted at her immediately. "Bring the puppet over here and let it obey my commands!"
Yu Wanyan paused, pulling back her leg as she was about to rush forward. Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions as she looked at Nanmen Jue's figure, which was moving so fast that it was almost impossible to catch her, and she chuckled.
"You, go and listen to him." She patted the puppet beside her.
With the addition of a high-level orange-named puppet, Nanmen Jue's pressure was greatly reduced. She didn't need the puppet to deal much damage; as long as there was one more person to absorb damage, she could quickly reverse the situation and gain the upper hand.
However, killing two Jinming in one go will be somewhat troublesome.
Nanmen Jue could only stall for the time being, while quickly racking his brains for various solutions.
Suddenly, she noticed the two mirror images exchanging glances. Having just experienced a long-distance pursuit, she immediately understood their intentions.
They're trying to escape!
If these two separate and escape, their current advantage will be completely lost!
Just as he was getting anxious, another shimmering white halo rapidly approached. Nanmen Jue felt a chill in his heart. Was it friend or foe?
Unlike her, both of their reflections showed joy. Nanmen Jue's heart sank as he realized something.
"Do you have your own ways of communicating?"
"You finally realized it." Mirror Daylight smiled smugly. "Since you're so smart, why don't you guess who's coming?"
Who could it be? Of the five gold-named individuals, the one who shares the same stench with these two is undoubtedly Terra's mirror image.
Now it's Nanmenjue who's considering retreating.
If it were just these two, she could manage to kill them if she kept at it. But if she added Terra to the mix, she would be courting death if she tried to fight them head-on.
Her eyes flickered, and Ying Yao, who knew her best, warned, "Be careful, he's trying to escape!"
Nanmen Jue glared at him fiercely.
Why are all these things running towards her? Doesn't she have even one helper to deal with the mirror image of herself?
Despite having her retreat blocked, Nanmen Jue remained calm. In the heat of battle, she had no time to use any props, and blood was flowing from her head and body. She smiled through her blood, which sent a chill down the spines of the two mirror images.
"If you want to bite into my flesh, you'd better see if your teeth are strong enough."
She suddenly stopped moving, and the two mirror images also stopped warily. The fierce battle came to an abrupt halt, and Yu Wanyan, who had been watching from a distance, approached uneasily.
"Nanmen Jue, what's wrong?"
What happened to Nanmen Jue? This was also what the two mirror images wanted to know. They looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
If it weren't for the newly arrived mirror image giving them confidence, they might have already turned around and run away.
It's okay, we just need to wait for Mirror Terra to arrive...
Nanmenjue is also waiting for Mirror Terra to arrive.
Since we're going to unleash a powerful attack, wouldn't it be a waste not to take one more person with us?
A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and she had already sheathed the bone knife. Just then, the mirror image finally arrived... Everyone looked on in surprise.
It wasn't Mirror Terra that arrived, but Mirror Zhang Jin.
"How could it be you?" Mirror Daylight exclaimed in disbelief.
"Why can't it be me?" Mirror Image Zhang Jin revealed a gentle smile, seemingly embarrassed, and said, "Sorry, I heard you talking."
Nanmen Jue: ...
Even after several rounds of shocks, this personality, so completely opposite to that of people she knew, was still so bizarre that it gave her goosebumps.
She turned around abruptly, looked at the two mirror images that were already showing expressions of surprise, and revealed a stunning smile.
"The balance of power has shifted again, my friends."
With three against two, the result was a foregone conclusion.
Watching the two mirror images turn into smoke and dissipate in the darkness with resentment on their faces, Nanmen Jue turned to look at the mirror image Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin, mirroring the image, was also frowning as he looked at Nanmen Jue. "You'd better stop the bleeding quickly and change your clothes. You look terrible."
Nanmen Jue opened his mouth, then turned to look at Yu Wanyan, who was running over quickly, and said, "Your puppet is broken."
Even the sturdiest puppet couldn't withstand the onslaught of the four golden-named warriors, and was now reduced to a pile of severed limbs scattered haphazardly on the ground.
"Oh, why do you care about him?" Yu Wanyan didn't even look up. She grabbed Nanmen Jue and looked him up and down. She took out three talismans and stuck them on her head, shoulders, and lower abdomen... Just as she was about to touch her lower abdomen, Nanmen Jue reached out and stopped her.
Her expression froze. Nanmen Jue took it and stuck it on himself, saying, "Thank you."
The little girl immediately beamed with joy again.
"This is the first time you've said something nice to me," she said.
Nanmen Jue was slightly taken aback, and simply said thank you.
Mirror Zhang Jin watched this scene silently, politely not interrupting. After dealing with Yu Wanyan, Nanmen Jue finally had to turn to look at her. Before she could speak, Mirror Zhang Jin took the initiative to speak.
“I know you and he hate each other so much you want to devour each other’s flesh and drink each other’s blood.” Mirror Image Zhang Jin shrugged and said gently, “If you feel awkward, you don’t have to talk to me. But you know, I won’t do anything to harm you. The more he wants to kill you, the more I want to protect you.”
Nanmen Jue: ...
Now I'm even more at a loss for words.
Yu Wanyan gave an exaggerated shiver and said, "Ugh, that's disgusting."
Mirror Image Zhang Jin has a very good temper and wasn't angry at all. He just smiled and said, "We'll disappear the next time the domain opens, so don't worry."
Nanmen Jue said, "There's something I've never understood."
"Do you want to ask him why he wanted to kill you?" Mirror Image Zhang Jin said.
Nanmen Jue looked at it and acquiesced.
“I can’t answer that question. It’s not that I don’t want to talk about it, it’s that I can’t say it.” Mirror Zhang Jin’s expression turned serious. “Our birth is not without rules. If the original body really doesn’t want to reveal a secret to others, we cannot tell it.”
Nanmen Jue was quite surprised. "There's such a rule? Wait a minute."
She suddenly remembered the "secret" that the mirror image Zhou Yiming had mentioned. The real Zhou Yiming didn't mind revealing it to others.
But since it wasn't Zhou Yiming in front of her, she had to hold back and not ask.
"I'm going to find Ying Yao to see if my mirror image is still intact." Nanmen Jue glanced at Zhou Yiming's glasses. "If you don't mind, kill more of your kind. Most of your mirror images have some problems."
“Okay, if that’s what you want me to do,” said Mirror Image Zhang Jin.
The feeling was so bizarre that Nanmen Jue couldn't stand it. She grabbed Yu Wanyan and fled as if she were escaping.
She had given Ying Yao a communicator before, and now it came in handy. Nanmen Jue opened her system space and saw a communicator lit up. She thought it was Ying Yao who had sent a message first, but when she picked it up, she found that it was the communicator she had taken from Li Fei earlier.
Nanmen Jue hesitated for a moment, but still picked it up. When she saw the name on it, her pupils shrank.
Jin Jian.
She hadn't contacted Jin Jian since leaving the previous world, but now he had actually taken the initiative to send her a message.
He knew that the communicator was now in Nanmenjue's hands, and the initial address was "Mr." Only Jin Jian would call her that.
Nanmen Jue opened the message, and after reading its contents, her face turned even paler.
[Sir, Zhang Jinzhou and Terra's mirror image have discussed eliminating Terra tonight, and they may act immediately.]
Get rid of Terra? At this time? Why? Isn't she with them?
No one can answer this question, and Nanmenjue doesn't have time to figure it out. The most important thing now is to find Terra!
From any perspective, Terra cannot die, absolutely cannot die.
Nanmen Jue regretted returning the taffy to Ying Yao so quickly. She took out another communicator and quickly sent a message to Ying Yao.
