The spiritual powers collided fiercely, and the two sides exchanged blows very quickly, and then distanced themselves.
Jing Zetian stood in front of He Qingming, frowning and staring at the creature that was gradually turning into a human form.
It looks like turbid black water, without flesh and bones, but when it touches Queen Jingze, it seems to have copied his shape, and actually turns into a human form exactly like Jingzetian. The difference is that it has black skin and blood-colored eyes. .
After He Qingming saw what it was, he couldn't believe it and blurted out: "It's a mirror beast. And it's a very high-level mirror beast!"
The mirror beast is a very special ferocious beast. Its realm is uncertain and it relies entirely on mimicry. It can mimic how high your realm is, and its strength will be doubled on top of that.
Low-level mirror beasts can only copy the basic realm of monks, while high-level mirror beasts can perfectly copy the talent of root bones, and even perform better than me. They can even copy the magic weapon in my hand.
Just like the law of cause and effect.
He has copied you, but suppresses you even more, understands you better than you, understands your strengths and weaknesses better than you, can use your talents better than you, detect every move and double the number of counterattacks.
Most monks have almost no chance of survival when they encounter mirror beasts. Not only are they killed by them, but they also eat their flesh and blood and take over their original identities.
Unexpectedly, this kind of thing actually got mixed into the dragon's lair.
He Qingming was still thinking about the reason, but another fight broke out in front of him. Jing Zetian's figure was so fast that only an afterimage was left, and the intense spiritual power tore the earth apart.
What's even more troublesome is that the darkness in the distance has spread out into a ball of water, and it reflects He Qingming, gradually transforming into his figure.
He Qingming suddenly felt bad.
Seeing that Jing Zetian was about to be at a disadvantage and the white shadow in the distance was about to draw his sword, He Qingming made a quick decision and broke into the middle of the battle. He signaled Jing Zetian with his eyes and beat back the mirror image beast with one palm. Then, before Jing Zetian could wait, he After realizing it, he took the person away from that area.
After returning to the passage, the scene of the wilderness suddenly dimmed. They did not chase them out. The passage and the outside world seemed to be two completely separated spaces.
Due to the urgent situation, He Qingming didn't think too much and carried Jing Zetian to the entrance of the passage with brute force, accidentally crushing him.
From the sidelines, it seemed that he was the one who pushed Jing Zetian down. If his hands had not touched the ground in time and were supported by his sides, he would have almost hit Jing Zetian.
Fortunately, the young man didn't get angry. He just stared at him quietly without moving. With this gesture, he said: "What happened just now?"
The young man was calm and indifferent, but his voice was a little hoarse.
He Qingming paused, stood up and stood aside, "That's a mirror beast. It's very dangerous. You and I have both been copied."
"Is it very strong?"
Jing Zetian sat up and looked at his hands.
His hands were numb, and he was at a disadvantage after just two moves. No matter how powerful your attack is, the opponent can always overwhelm you and counterattack multiple times.
"It's very strong, especially since I was copied."
This is not to boast, He Qingming is self-aware of his own strength.
If he hadn't taken Jing Zetian away in time, the shadow would have wiped out the ground beneath their feet with one sword.
Thinking about it, he immediately explained the situation of the mirror beast.
After hearing this, Jing Zetian didn't waste any time and asked directly: "How to defeat."
He Qingming said thoughtfully: "It's difficult. They become stronger when they are strong, and weak when they are weak. It is difficult to break through head-on. If they are of a lower level, it will not be so difficult to deal with, but the two just now are obviously high-level mirror beasts with deep strength. It’s unpredictable, if it were a human being, he would at least be a monk in the Concentration Realm.”
"Yeah."
Jing Zetian stood up without fear of difficulty, "But no matter what, we have to pass that place."
This guy actually said "us". He Qingming's eyes brightened slightly, feeling a little inspired.
"You're right."
He Qingming blurted out from the bottom of his heart.
It's not that he's happy because the other person has a "companion awareness" towards him, but a kind of... joy that he finally has a playmate of the same age.
Before this, He Qingming had never fought alongside anyone.

At this time, outside the secret realm, there was the Dao Sect in the lower realm.
Zhou Jinyuan said goodbye to the Taoist meeting of the Taoist Sect in the Lower Realm, came to the cave alone, and strictly set up a ban to prevent any prying eyes.
Then, he took out an ancient bronze mirror from the void and placed it on the stone table in front of him.
The bronze mirror was just like a normal object. As Zhou Jinyuan recited the incantation, the bronze mirror gradually glowed with golden light, and then seemed to communicate with another space, slowly showing a black figure.
That is a person with the most noble status. He appears to be young and handsome, but in fact he is of extremely high seniority and his strength is unfathomable.
He is one of the four great masters of Taoism, his Taoist name is Lingxuzi, and he is also known as Lord Lingxu.
He was a powerful figure who conquered the Demon Realm four times and killed no one in the Demon Realm who dared to fight. He was hailed as the strongest fighting force in the Dao Sect of the Upper Realm and has become a legend in the world of cultivation.
At the same time, he is also the first master in the contemporary era, a famous disciple-protecting madman in the upper world. His achievements include but are not limited to, for his own disciples, he conquered the restricted area by himself, and fought in and out of several large groups of innate beings.
Zhou Jinyuan still remembers what happened that year.
At that time, when Senior Brother He was only nine years old, his talent shocked the world and made the monks of his generation look up and fear him.
Seeing that there was no opponent among his peers, Lingxuzi, perhaps on a whim, took nine-year-old Senior Brother He to the restricted area to practice.
As we all know, the restricted area is the habitat of the innate creatures. It is vast and extremely dangerous. Ordinary monks must be extremely careful when going to the outside for fear of provoking troublesome races, let alone entering the restricted area.
The restricted area is the habitat of the most powerful group of innate creatures, and only the most powerful species can survive in that environment. Currently, it is known that the innate creatures that inhabit it include pure-blooded phoenixes, white-armored basalts and other terrifying races.
Any one of them that escapes can cause a sensation in the cultivation world, but generally speaking, they like to stay in their own nests and rarely go out. At most, they wander around the territory.
At that time, Lingxuzi's extreme behavior of protecting his disciples was strictly prohibited by the sect leader.
The sect leader's words at the time were: "Unless life is endangered, no action can be taken."
This is a reasonable request, because if the guru arranges everything properly and does not allow the disciple to suffer at all, how can the disciple grow?
Lingxuzi had no choice but to accept, but the sect leader still felt it was not enough and asked Lingxuzi to make an immortal oath, which Lingxuzi reluctantly agreed to.
In short, under such circumstances, Senior Brother He went to the penalty area to practice alone.
It was okay at first, because Senior Brother He was only in the peripheral area. Although he occasionally encountered beasts more powerful than himself, he could always find a way to deal with them in the end.
However, as luck would have it, there was some movement in the restricted area at that time.
A group of innate creatures brought out their cubs and held a cub showoff conference in the restricted area... Bah, it's a test of combat strength!
The method is very simple, just mark a large area, put a group of cubs in it, and let them fight to snatch the deeded objects, so as to determine the outcome.
If you win, you will gain face and lose face to other races. Lost? The cubs of the innate creatures are all proud and arrogant. lose? If something is impossible, I will be the first!
As a result, they were beating wildly inside, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to shatter, scaring other weak creatures into howling like ghosts and wolves.
However, when Senior Brother He encountered the small animals that were escaping in a hurry, or felt unhappy about them, he actually rushed into the competition with his sword, and as a human being, beat a bunch of tyrannical cubs of innate creatures howling.
Yes, they were all beaten down, including the pure-blooded races. They couldn't defeat them even if they were surrounded together. Each one of them cried bitterly after being hit by the sword blade, and how could they still have the majesty that an innate creature should have.
The elders of the innate creatures who were watching also stared blankly, in disbelief, doubting that the beast was alive!
Why did a human cub suddenly break in and beat up their baby?
However, if it only ends here, then things are not too outrageous.
The problem is...the mate selection criteria of innate creatures are surprisingly consistent.
Senior Brother He is naturally beautiful, so beautiful that heaven and earth are speechless!
The double impact of physics and psychology has touched the hearts of countless cubs.
Those cubs were beaten and conquered - their admiration suddenly arose! Burning! Crazy pursuit on the spot!
The scene was not too earth-shattering, but he was actually chasing Senior Brother He.
Later, things started to ferment again. There were small disputes and big ones. Powerful races such as Phoenix and Xuanwu naturally couldn't sit still.
When Lingxuzi saw this, he didn't care. He ignored the immortal contract on the spot and rushed into the restricted area to protect his disciples. The final result was that the scope of the fight expanded and the entire penalty area was trembling.
After that, it wasn't over.
Those innate beings would come to the Dao Sect of the Upper Realm from time to time to propose marriage proposals. Among them, the pure-blood phoenix was the most persistent and would come to harass her every once in a while.
Therefore, Lingxuzi's complexion would become extremely dark at certain times. Just like now, Zhou Jinyuan knew at a glance that there was probably another innate being causing trouble.
In fact, he was right.
Just now, a pure-blood phoenix cub came and proposed passionately. He even plucked his own hair and made it into a handkerchief, just to warm your beloved disciple.
When Lingxuzi heard this, veins popped up on his forehead, and he almost took action directly.
Even a beast in love dares to covet his good disciple!
If it weren't for avoiding these troubles, he wouldn't have sent Qing'er to the ancient Tianxuan secret realm, where he would have to stay for more than ten years.
When he thought of this, he hated his stupidity so much. Why not go anywhere but take Qing'er to the restricted area!
Fortunately, luckily among misfortunes, at least I didn't encounter the most troublesome dragon clan.
Otherwise, given the dragon clan's paranoia, madness and perverted possessiveness towards their spouses, it would be strange not to capture his good disciple and take him to their lair.
Qing'er happened to meet the dragon clan's standards for mate selection. Not to mention her appearance, her personality was even more charming to a whole brood of dragon cubs. Qing'er had already caused such a big stir when she was nine years old, and now that she has grown up, let alone that.
Thinking of this, Lingxuzi sighed slightly and his eyes became firmer.
Fortunately, I didn't meet the dragon at that time. As for the future? He must be on guard and never let Long get even close to Qing'er!
-
At this time, in the secret realm.
The two of them clashed with the Mirror Beast for a second time. After the fight, they couldn't deal with it, so they had to evacuate again.
He Qingming took back the magic weapon, feeling deeply that he was so weak that he was accidentally injured.
Of course, it was said to be an injury, but it was actually not bad. It was just that the side of his face was cut by his own sword energy. The skin and flesh were cut open and there was some blood. Sword energy injuries cannot heal on their own, but they can always heal on their own.
"You can't rush it."
He thought about it quickly and was about to turn his head to look at the person next to him.
But unexpectedly, the silent young man suddenly turned around, held his waist with one hand, and pressed him against the wall with the other.
He Qingming was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a pair of wild beast-like vertical pupils, as if staring at prey, strong and full of aggression.
Before he could react, the boy moved closer, and his cold lips touched his face.
Jing Zetian originally only cared about the other party's injuries. But when he saw the scars on that perfect face, he couldn't help but lick the other person's blood and healed the other person's injuries with his own body fluids.
You want the other person to be tainted with your taste.
Take possession of it. Monopolize this.
He couldn't even tell whether it was because of his dragon nature or... he wanted to do this.
