Chapter 368 Kill Others and Me Too

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Fang Yi."

The man holding a long sword standing in the temple on the top of the mountain spoke these words in a tone that Fang Yi was very familiar with, as if they were meeting old friends again.

As these words reached Fang Yi's ears, the previously clear sky suddenly darkened and became a little gloomy.

It was like the dusk outside a dream, with a sky full of heavy rain.

As the sky grew darker, the scene inside the temple with its gates wide open began to change.

The uniform floors and buildings gradually twisted like crumpled waste paper, blending into the expanding darkness.

But in a moment, the temple on the top of the mountain and the mountain below it turned into a vast and lonely void.

Swallowed Fang Yi.

There was silence all around, as if time, space and even everything in the world had frozen.

Only the slightly gloomy sky above provided some poor visibility.

As the void expanded, the masked man, whose figure was a little blurry in the temple, appeared.

It was as if the mosaics were removed, and everything from head to toe became "clear".

While revealing a figure that Fang Yi was somewhat familiar with, he also added a few words that sounded somewhat provocative.

"You don't seem surprised by my appearance."

Fang Yi, who was holding the long sword, did not show any strange expression on his face in response to the man's words.

All he did was tilt his head and look at the other person from head to toe.

Then he gave a somewhat indifferent reply to the man in front of him.

“Not all waiting is meaningful.

"I don't need to know who you are."

As he spoke, Fang Yi gripped the long knife in his hand and responded decisively.

"If it is the enemy named [Shadow of the Past], then show hostility towards me and be prepared to be killed by me.

"If you're the 'guiding type' who gives hints, then don't waste my time and just state your request.

"I have a lot of guests to meet today, so I'm in a hurry."

When Fang Yi used the [Blood Vampire Technique] to 'cheat' and 'enter the dream', he had already made the decision to cut the Gordian knot.

After quickly completing the [Breaking Limits: Absolute Sword II] mission, he still needed to contact Miss Merlin to make further arrangements for the magician.
-
And the man standing in front of Fang Yi, or gradually emerging from the darkness.

Hearing this 'rude' reply, he laughed very maliciously, just like Fang Yi did before.

Gave a half-joking reply.

"It seems I shouldn't call you Fang Yi.

"It would be more accurate to call you Fang Yi, the person who was influenced by Fang Renyi after playing him."

As the man spoke, he took off the mask on his face, revealing a face that looked almost identical to Fang Yi.

Although the man was slightly shorter than Fang Yi, he also had a scar on his forehead that almost ran across his entire face.

But at this moment, his appearance, which was separated from Fang Yi at the two ends of the void, was surprisingly similar.

Apart from their appearance, even their aura and body shape are exactly the same.

They looked like twins, or like the image reflected in a mirror standing in front of Fang Yi.

Or it could be described as [Fang Yi Companion Skin Scar Version], a cheap 'skin' that simply changes the color scheme.

The man looked at Fang Yi, who was unwavering in front of him, and said with admiration.

"I can only say that you are worthy of being my other 'possibility', which has a very low probability, can only happen in theory, and is like a miracle.

“Even though you [forgot] me, gave up some of the things that were innate, and chose to restrain yourself.

"Also, while playing the role of Fang Renyi, I unknowingly inherited those 'things' of his that disgusted me."

"But if you want to, you can still become as sharp and efficient as me."

After the man in the temple said this to Fang Yi, he drew the long sword in his hand just like Fang Yi.

His muscles were as tense as a fully drawn longbow, giving people the feeling of an arrow ready to be shot.

Then he uttered very decisive words.

"Since you have no intention of communicating, then it's as you wish!

“What you want is right here, you can get it by killing me.

“But if you want it, you have to come and get it yourself.

"You and I should both know this, Fang Yi."

What responded to him was a sword light that could cut everything and seemed to tear the sky and earth apart.

As the knife came out, it seemed as if the void was about to be torn apart.

It is [My Only Sword].

That was Fang Yi's most confident, brilliant, and mature skill.

Fang Yi, who swung the knife, did not relax, but moved his wrist slightly and slashed out again without leaving any trace.

Beneath this dazzling sword light, there was also a rather insidious and highly condensed, yet silent, subtle sword light.

It is the [Moon in the Mirror] that has not yet been perfected.

After slashing out twice, Fang Yi responded to the other party's words.

"You talk a bit too much, as far as I'm concerned!"
-
"Talking a lot is the privilege of the strong! Fang Yi!

"Then let me show you the talent you gave up!"

Without a moment's hesitation, the man immediately retorted.

Looking at the knife flash that was about to touch his body, Fang Yi, who had a scar across his face, responded nonchalantly.

He swung the knife in his hand casually.

The [Only My Sword], which was exactly the same as Fang Yi's, came out and turned to attack Fang Yi's dazzling sword light.

When it was halfway and about to collide with Fang Yi's sword, it was like the reverse of [Merge of Matters].

The void mirrored two [My Only Sword] with exactly the same power, but with different directions of attack.

After three strikes, they easily annihilated all of Fang Yi's attacks.

He even left a spare blade and tested Fang Yi with great interest.

Seeing the knife light about to touch Fang Yi, the man started trash talking to his opponent.

“You should have anticipated this or been prepared for it.

"Whether it's [Moon in the Mirror] or [My Only Sword].

"In your 'cognition', these powerful skills derived from Fang Yi's talents and mastered by me will naturally be mastered by me.

"I'm looking forward to you."

The man's words were interrupted abruptly by Fang Yi's response before he could finish.
-
Fang Yi did not swing his sword for this "Only My Sword".

All he did was open his left eye wide and activated the [Eye of Confinement] to temporarily "confine" the sword energy.

Then he skillfully opened [Shi·Who Else But Me] and used a cost-effective method to dissipate the sword energy.

He activated the [Phase Crystal Core Energy Storage Cavity] to construct the [Fold Shield Hybrid] on his body surface and took the attack head-on.

Finally, he put on a sarcastic smile and said something to the other person in a very cold and sarcastic tone.

“I don’t rely solely on talent.

"As a reincarnator, you won't get far if you rely solely on your talents.

"For those who make it to the end, talent is the least important factor."

Looking at Fang Yi who easily resisted his attack.

The man laughed even louder.

"Can it only be me?

"【As long as someone with Fang Yi's brilliant talent can do this, it's not surprising.】

"So this 'cheating' method is not surprising.

"It actually makes this battle more interesting." The man raised his hands holding the knife and swung the knife again.

He also made the lip shape of "matters merge" in a somewhat bad and deliberate manner.

After doing all this, he watched Fang Yi begin to dodge.

A hint of mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Sure enough, he chose to dodge.

"It seems that as a reincarnation, the protective measures you use are limited.

"But you should know that when facing someone who is basically the same as you, dodging will only put you in a desperate situation."

Taking advantage of Fang Yi's dodging, the man quickly changed from holding the knife with one hand to holding it with both hands.

Using all their strength, relying on the same mind and the same talent, they blocked all of Fang Yi's escape space.

He swung the decisive blow in his mind.

Then he arrogantly declared that he would win.

“Well, it’s over then!
"How can you, with only one chance to swing your sword, defeat me, who is using three times my normal strength under the [Merge of Matters]?"

"You should understand that no matter how powerful the skills born in your mind are, I will immediately 'master' them in your 'cognition'."

However, the next second, the man who said this saw an incredible scene.

Facing the three overlapping [My Only Sword], Fang Yi just closed his eyes.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes and swung out a very familiar move in a very old-fashioned way.

It is exactly the same as these three sword lights, but there are some differences. It emits a sword light with a boundless and limitless aura.

This blade light not only easily dissolved the man's decisive blow, but was also unusually fast.

It was so fast that before the man could react, it easily cut off the man's body and destroyed his life.

It caused his existence and the world to collapse.

Recalling the knife that killed him and split him in two, the man roared in despair.

"How can it be?

“Why didn’t I master this knife!
"Obviously I am you too!"

Fang Yi looked at the newly borrowable skill [Absolute Sword] that emerged from [Diligent Study and Improvement].

Looking at the collapsed dream, it gave a very wonderful response.

“I’ve said it before, I don’t rely solely on talent.

"Should this be considered the efforts of a Servant, or my 'bond'?"
-
A room in the Matou residence.

"Master, why did you fall asleep too?"

As Fang Yi opened his eyes and looked at the swordsman lady who was approaching him.

Several space prompt sounds also rang in my ears.

[You have completed [Breaking Limits: Absolute Sword II].]

[Your skill [Mastery of Swordsmanship] has been upgraded to [LV5].]

[Your performance in this mission was excellent, influenced by your talent [Diligent Study].]

[Previously acquired, yet-to-be-unlocked additional skill branches have been enhanced.]

Fang Yi only then remembered that he had not claimed a reward in [Breaking Limits·Absolute Sword I].

Or unlock.

This reward can only be unlocked after [Mastery of Swordsmanship] is upgraded to [LV5].

This skill branch is also a good bonus after being strengthened.

For this skill.

Fang Yi glanced at the swordsman lady who was lying on top of him.

He opened his arms unexpectedly and hugged the other person unexpectedly.

He whispered a "thank you" into the other person's ear, which made the swordsman blush and was a little confused.

After hearing these words, the swordsman lady who woke up Fang Yi suddenly softened.

She lay on top of the man as if she had no bones.

Then, he added a very suggestive sentence in a very low voice.

"Master, would you like to listen to the story of my dream and the cat?"

Fang Yi was about to answer when a [mental phone call] initiated by the [relic] came into his mind.

"Hi, Mr. Fang Yi, are you there?
