While Qin Feng was stunned, the guardian suddenly appeared and unleashed a huge fireball.
Qin Feng only reacted when the fireball was close by, narrowly dodging it.
The guard moved with incredible speed, arriving behind Qin Feng in the blink of an eye and unleashing a palm lightning spell.
Qin Feng narrowly dodged the attack, but the guard caught up at lightning speed and unleashed another palm lightning spell.
This time, Qin Feng had no time to dodge. He was struck in the back by the lightning from the palm and flew more than ten meters away before he managed to regain his footing.
The power of the palm lightning was extraordinary, causing him internal injuries.
"We're clearly of equal strength, so why do I feel like you're much stronger than me?"
Qin Feng's expression shifted between light and dark. The garrison commander hadn't lied; his strength was comparable to Qin Feng's.
However, he sensed that the garrison commander was stronger than him.
The garrison commander smiled upon hearing this. "It's simple. Although your strengths are the same, you lack combat experience."
As soon as he finished speaking, the town's guardian immediately unleashed his magical power, the Finger of Heaven and Earth.
A gigantic, golden finger appeared above Qin Feng's head, its terrifying pressure making him feel suffocated.
Holy crap!
Qin Feng was so frightened that he cursed and quickly dodged.
He hadn't even mastered the Qiankun Finger technique yet, but the Guardian had already used it.
However, the space was too small, and Qin Feng had no way to avoid it. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and fight back.
He unleashed a magical power, the Five Elements Spirit Palm.
His right palm instantly grew larger, radiating a terrifying pressure as it met the attack.
"boom"
With a deafening roar, Qin Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood, while the garrison commander remained completely unharmed.
Qin Feng was shocked and extremely frustrated. He stared directly at the guard and questioned, "Are you really me?"
How come he didn't know he was so awesome?
The garrison commander smiled. "That's right, I am you!"
"My strength is a replica of yours. I can do anything you can do, and even things you can't do, but if you have the magic or supernatural abilities for cultivation, I can do them too!"
Upon hearing the garrison commander's reply, Qin Feng was so frustrated he almost spat blood.
He possesses the memories, cultivation techniques, and countless magical abilities of the Overlord Immortal Emperor. Wouldn't he be able to guard the capital?
How the hell can we fight like that?
He took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said dejectedly, "What will happen if I can't defeat you?"
The garrison commander replied, "You will be forever stuck here, unable to leave!"
Qin Feng's expression darkened. It seemed he had no other choice but to defeat the garrison at all costs.
Without another word, he flashed towards the guard and unleashed a palm strike.
He simply refused to believe that with the same strength, he couldn't defeat a replica.
The defender neither dodged nor avoided, and instead used palm lightning to clash with the defender.
With a loud "boom", Qin Feng ignored the aftershocks of the energy and rushed to the guardian, unleashing a full-force punch that gathered spiritual power.
The defender remained unmoved, meeting the attack with the same punch.
"boom"
Another deafening roar erupted, causing the entire small space to tremble violently. The resulting energy shockwave engulfed Qin Feng and the guardian simultaneously.
But the two did not give up. They exchanged blows one after another, using Palm Thunder, Five Elements Spirit Palm, and Qiankun Finger.
The battle was extremely fierce.
The space was constantly and violently shaking, as if it might shatter at any moment.
After a clash of fire, Qin Feng and the town's guard were both thrown back more than ten meters, each spitting out a mouthful of blood.
However, Qin Feng was seriously injured, and his aura was much weaker than that of the garrison commander.
"Young man, you're quite good, but you're not very smart!"
The garrison commander smiled slightly. "Confronting me head-on is the dumbest choice!"
"Although I have replicated your strength, there are some things that cannot be replicated."
"And your only advantage over me is something I can't replicate."
Qin Feng was completely stunned. "Something that can't be replicated?"
His expression shifted uncertainly for a moment, then he exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be thoughts?"
The garrison commander shook his head upon hearing this. "Thoughts may indeed be impossible to replicate, but do you think you can defeat me with just thoughts?"
"Not ideas?" Qin Feng frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Qin Feng was currently riddled with weaknesses, but strangely, the guard did not take advantage of the situation to attack. Instead, he smiled and sized up Qin Feng.
After a while, Qin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the town guard and asked, "Is it a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
The garrison commander praised, "A promising young man, indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"To be honest, I only replicated your strength. The Nascent Soul stage is unique and cannot be replicated!"
"If you want to defeat me, the only way is to use a divine power that only a Nascent Soul cultivator can unleash: Nascent Soul Blazing Flames!"
Qin Feng looked at the town guard with some confusion. Why was the other party telling him all this?
The garrison commander smiled and said, "You're quite good. I appreciate you, so I'm going easy on you."
Qin Feng looked puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better if you just stood still and let me defeat you?"
The garrison commander smiled slightly. "Letting the water go doesn't mean I'll admit defeat."
"And have you mastered the Nascent Soul Blazing Flame?"
Qin Feng frowned slightly. Since breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he had no time to learn magic and supernatural powers.
Especially divine abilities like the Qiankun Finger and the Nascent Soul Blazing Flame.
Otherwise, how could he have been at a disadvantage in the previous head-on confrontation?
The garrison commander saw through Qin Feng's thoughts and smiled. "It's alright, I'll give you time to learn the Nascent Soul Blazing Flame and the Universe Finger."
After saying that, the garrison commander sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, pretending to doze off.
Qin Feng's expression was strange. Was the garrison commander going a bit too far by letting the enemy pass through unchecked?
Although the garrison commander showed goodwill, he dared not relax completely.
While studying the Nascent Soul Flame and the Qiankun Finger, he also focused his attention on guarding the area.
About two hours later, Qin Feng finally grasped the key techniques of the Qiankun Finger and the Nascent Soul Blazing Flame.
He stood up, looked at the garrison commander, and said gratefully, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
Upon hearing this, the garrison commander opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and smiled. "Young man, you're quite good. I have high hopes for you!"
"Perhaps in the near future, the ancient primordial domain will face a catastrophe that will destroy the world, and we can only rely on you!"
Qin Feng was completely bewildered. "The Primordial Ancient Domain? A cataclysmic calamity?"
The garrison commander glanced at Qin Feng and explained, "The Primordial Ancient Domain is your Blue Star. As for the cataclysmic calamity, you will know once you reach the top of the Heavenly Ladder!"
"Young man, you must stay true to yourself and never let anything influence you."
"Alright, I'm out of time. I need to see you out now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the town guard suddenly waved his hand, and the surrounding environment transformed back into the stone steps in the clouds, while the town guard disappeared.
Qin Feng was completely bewildered. "The Heavenly Ladder? The Primordial Ancient Domain is Blue Star? And what about that cataclysmic calamity?"
"Stay true to yourself. What is my true to yourself?"
After thinking it over and over, Qin Feng couldn't come up with a solution, so he had no choice but to give up and step down to the next step.
He estimated that each subsequent step would be fraught with unknown challenges.
Therefore, he appeared extremely cautious and on high alert.
