Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Meanwhile, Chu Yunfan, who was familiarizing himself with the Great Perfection of Wind Sword Intent in his cave, suddenly heard a call coming from outside the cave.

Having a suspicion in his mind, he immediately stopped cultivating and left the cave.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped out of the cave, a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect dressed in the uniform of the Enforcement Hall handed him a piece of paper with a bloody handprint on it, saying:

"A battle for life or death, life or death is in the hands of fate."

If you agree, leave your handprint on this life-or-death battle contract, and then come with me to the battle arena!

Upon hearing the words of the disciples from the Enforcement Hall, Chu Yunfan glanced at the contents of the paper, and then, without thinking, pressed his handprint on it.

"Let's go!"

As Chu Yunfan's voice faded, the two figures quickly disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

Soon after, Chu Yunfan arrived at the Enforcement Hall with the disciples of the Enforcement Hall.

Naturally, they also met Wang Tianba.

Instantly, their eyes met, and both of them revealed undisguised killing intent.

However, to Chu Yunfan's surprise, Wang Tianba had also broken through to the late stage of the Martial Grandmaster realm.

Of course, this does not affect the battle that follows.

Because no matter what, Chu Yunfan will use all his strength to deal with Wang Tianba.

The word "underestimating the enemy" would not apply to Chu Yunfan.

Subsequently, without any surprises, Chu Yunfan and Wang Tianba went directly to the life-or-death battle arena in the square outside the Law Enforcement Hall.

Under the witness of the Hall of Law Enforcement, Chu Yunfan and Wang Tianba stood at opposite ends of the life-or-death battle platform, and the battle officially began!

As soon as the word "start" was uttered, Chu Yunfan and Wang Tianba rushed towards each other at top speed without any hesitation or waste of words.

When they were about ten zhang apart, Chu Yunfan directly used the "Tianji Shadowless Sword".

Instantly, Chu Yunfan's figure disappeared from Wang Tianba's sight.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of cold light passed behind Wang Tianba.

Then came the scene of the body being severed from its head.

However, upon seeing this scene, Chu Yunfan felt no joy. Instead, his expression changed, and he continued to use the "Tianji Shadowless Sword," his body quickly disappearing from the spot.

As soon as Chu Yunfan's body disappeared, a long sword appeared where he had just been.

With just a fraction of a second to spare, the longsword would have pierced Chu Yunfan's body.

Strangely, the one wielding this long sword was none other than Wang Tianba, who had just been beheaded by Chu Yunfan with a single strike.

What's even stranger is that, besides this Wang Tianba, there are eight other Wang Tianbas who look exactly alike on the life-or-death battle stage.

"The complete Phantom Sword Technique!"

Upon seeing this scene, Chu Yunfan immediately thought of this sentence.

"Phantom Sword Technique" is a famous sword technique of Yaoguang Peak. Like "Tianji Shadowless Sword", it is a peak Earth-rank martial art.

The power of the Phantom Sword Technique lies in the fact that practitioners can use it to create several spiritual clones that look exactly like themselves.

These spiritual clones can not only be used to confuse enemies, but also possess a certain level of strength of the original body. They can be used for attack and defense, and are so realistic that they are difficult to distinguish.

When the "Phantom Sword Technique" is cultivated to its highest level, one will be like Wang Tianba at this moment, able to create nine clones that are exactly the same as oneself, and each clone will possess 20% of one's own strength.

The one Chu Yunfan just killed was one of these nine clones.

As for Wang Tianba's true form, he had been mixed in with his other clones and launched a sneak attack on Chu Yunfan while Chu Yunfan was killing his clone.

Fortunately, Chu Yunfan reacted quickly enough to dodge his sneak attack.

Before Chu Yunfan could react, Wang Tianba's other eight clones had already surrounded him.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan did not hesitate at all. He unleashed the "Gale Falling Leaves" move, and hundreds of extremely sharp sword energies, like a harvester, cleaved all eight of Wang Tianba's clones into pieces.

At the same time, these sword energies continued to move at their speed, surrounding Wang Tianba's main body!

However, Wang Tianba was not so easy to deal with. In a flash, his speed was so fast that he left afterimages in his place. It was the peak earth-level movement technique of Yaoguang Peak, "Shadowless".

After dodging Chu Yunfan's whirlwind sword energy, Wang Tianba once again used the "Phantom Sword Technique," splitting his body into ten parts and simultaneously surrounding Chu Yunfan.

At the same time, Wang Tianba also controlled his main body and each of his clones, simultaneously unleashing the "Shadowless".

In an instant, the battlefield was filled with Wang Tianba's shadows, making it impossible to distinguish which one was the real Wang Tianba.

"go to hell!"

Wang Tianba gave a silent shout, and with his main body and spiritual clones, ten longswords simultaneously stabbed towards Chu Yunfan.

However, things often don't go as planned. Just when Wang Tianba thought his attack was about to succeed, Chu Yunfan's Wind Spirit Sword had already pierced through his throat.

"why?"

Feeling the icy sensation in his throat, Wang Tianba's eyes widened as he stared intently at Chu Yunfan, his gaze filled with disbelief.

He couldn't understand why his move, which he was so proud of, was instantly countered by Chu Yunfan, and even led him to his doom.

It should be noted that, in order to conceal his true self, he deliberately only used 30% of his strength to avoid Chu Yunfan noticing anything amiss.

Of course, what Chu Yunfan wouldn't tell Wang Tianba was that the reason he was able to find the real Wang Tianba was because he sensed the killing intent emanating from Wang Tianba's true form.

It should be noted that Chu Yunfan had experienced countless life-and-death battles, so he was naturally very sensitive to things like killing intent.

Of course, Chu Yunfan was able to sense Wang Tianba's killing intent so clearly thanks to his mastery of the Wind Intent.

After all, killing intent is something ethereal and intangible; only the equally ethereal sword intent of wind can sense its existence.

However, even though he had killed Wang Tianba, Chu Yunfan did not relax. Instead, he immediately began to examine Wang Tianba's body.

He remembered how Wang Tianba had faked his death to deceive the Tian Sha organization.

Fortunately, Chu Yunfan found a storage ring on Wang Tianba's corpse.

Moreover, the storage ring contained many treasures, which appeared to be all of Wang Tianba's wealth, including his identity token.

"It seems to be him without a doubt."

Chu Yunfan thought to himself.

However, the next second, Chu Yunfan's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in a low voice:

"His identity token is still intact!"

The identity token is a symbol of a disciple's status in the Qingyun Sword Sect.

At the same time, it also indicates one's life status.

If Wang Tianba is completely dead, then his identity token should have broken automatically.

But now, as Chu Yunfan looked at the complete identity token in front of him, his brows slowly furrowed.
