Xianxia: Why am I here?-Chapter 254 - 254 Fighting myself

254 Fighting myself

Feeling the destruction that was being brought out by the two figures, Wang that could barely stabilize himself seemed to think of something. He was skilled in other aspects other than just martial arts and it could be useful but he needed to have the right time to put it into action. Besides, his perception was locked and it was very difficult for him to accomplish what he could do with it. Despite being shocked he did not seem discouraged at all, since he could already see the actual weaknesses he had that perhaps he might do something about in the end.

The attacks seemed to be meant to kill, as he could feel a threat of death approaching, and even using the Qi in his body he barely managed to create some formation that hindered them for a while to retreat only to realize that a huge fist had appeared at the position his head was previously. This is very much vicious and to some extent, he has been wondering if this is actually the situation set in this place by cave space. He had barely relaxed before he saw some finger approaching his brows, and he broke into a cold sweat.

“This is bad!” His hair stood on end as he retreated and used his hands to block at the front. He had been preoccupied with the situation on the other side and forgot about the second figure that almost got him. In the end, his arms seemed to have bared the pain for it.

From this situation, Wang was already certain that the benefits of utilizing the hidden cave come with strict conditions and the ability to survive them is the one thing that seems to be used to judge the second time one enters the cave. He also had a very important answer to the question that had been bothering him. It seemed the old man that Ruruo had just killed was also faced with this problem that forced him into having no choice but to stay away from the cave.

Perhaps he was also planning to improve slightly before trying again and after getting another opportunity to cultivate in the cave, he might indeed gain an opportunity to be promoted and if not the case, his strength could evolve slightly.

To Wang, this realization just made him very much unwilling to win, as if he did that he might face even more oppression next time but at the same time the benefits of going to the center can be imagined. He was having some difficulty making this choice but in the end, he seemed to have thought of something and a resolute color appeared on his face. As a cultivator, it is indeed shameless to avoid taking advantage of opportunities and he was not sure if he could have broken through next time. So he decided to pass anyway, and see how much change can happen to him to measure whether this place was worth the risk.

With the use of formations, he could just figure out something and indeed the figures seemed incapable of creating formations, but the formations seemed capable of slowing them down slightly. “This is weird, can use my fight techniques but not the formations. In that case, it is better to utilize the formations as a deterrent for the time being as I try to check out their weakness.” Wang could indeed see that the effect of this deterrent formation was not that much, and if he were to want to create strong formations without the use of soul power then it might take too long.

At that time he might have already been dealt with by the two figures and thus the solution he wanted was something like a quick fix. He was in a crisis and the most effective means to use were those that could get him through temporarily. After he had accomplished all this then he could just go ahead and start thinking of the best way to deter two beings created from his own image. He needed to think in the direction of speed and strength as everything else was already considered insignificant.

At the same time he started to check their patterns of attack, he had already established the fact that he would only be attacked if he stepped across a certain level. In the same way, going back was risky as it might be counted as giving up for the day. In that case, he did not dare take the risk unless he really wanted to give up the challenge. Doing so without thinking much about it would be considered wasting a rare opportunity. The moment the attacks arrived this time he had recovered from the impact on his arms, and rushed forward to collide with the two figures.

.....

When the attacks were about to overwhelm him, he would retreat decisively and use formations to delay them. Had it been on other occasions he might have turned around and fled without even the need to care about anything else. But this opportunity was indeed very tempting and when his thoughts reached this point he started to laugh at himself. He seemed no different from the old man that Ruruo had just killed. He could have escaped when he had a chance but instead insisted on fighting her. He thought of this and shook his head getting rid of the absurd ideas, he could not accept being defeated by some copy of himself. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

When the formation came into play, one of the figures was entanglement, and Wang did not seem to be willing to lose out as such he shot directly fusing the White Tiger Fist and the Biyun Fist and the power skyrocketed. His target was its head and seeing the clear eyes that seemed lifeless he did not stop the fist at all until it landed on the head of the figure. Without even much suspense the fist hit the head, but it remained intact. Wang on the other end, retreated after to avoid the attack of the other figure. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

The figure that had been hit on the head seemed to reach a standstill, then slumped on the ground but Wang did not look at it. He had improved his fist techniques to a very high level and fusion seemed to be bringing about some unexpected surprises. The attack failed to leave a mark on the head but it disintegrated the insides of the head. Without much of a struggle, it seemed that he could easily handle opponents. But in the end, he had to have the capability to reach the head of the opponent otherwise it is a big loss.

In the end, when he approached the other figure it seemed faster and dodged him, and this made him frustrated since one-on-one he had some probability of actually learning something from the figure but it seemed to be wary of his fist that had resulted in its companion becoming dead. He almost wanted to curse especially seeing how the figure was difficult to catch up with.

“I actually thought that the figures would have no fear but in the end I was wrong. Since that is the case, then I have to find a way to stop it before attempting to use my fist,” he whispered to himself.

He seemed to have realized that the attack power of the two seemed to be even superimposed when he fought before and now as one left, it did not give him that much space to make his moves, but with one left he become confrontational and did not retreat at all since he was not afraid of being attacked from behind.

Unlike at the beginning when Wang had to stop their movements with formations or he would feel threatened, he did not bother to do it. But now he collided with the figure and after more than ten collisions that he lost out due to having retreated, he seemed somehow happy.

It was a bloody battle in which he was the one shedding blood, but his eyes were becoming brighter and brighter as though he had already managed to figure out something. The way that the figure utilized energy in movement and attack was something he was coming in tune with. At the same time, he seemed to have some guesses, about the content of this stage. He thus started to see the effect of his potential value of over 100.

Understanding seemed to have been magnified and especially with just one of the figures left. The speed and strength he was using thus have been increasing and even though it was not that great shape from receiving a beating, the benefits were immense and the reason for his eyes being bright even in such a situation.

“The current me is stronger than before learning these tricks, and my speed seems to be increasing too. I can already see the movement trajectory of the figure even though difficult to stop it from arriving in front of me but I can manage to defend myself.” His eyesight was indeed much better than before too and yet he did not use the ocular techniques.
