Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 403 Collision
"Yo, my clone...we've finally met." Thanks to Mu Xiang's powerful swing, Zheng Zha quickly caught up with the figure on the Green Goblin skateboard. As soon as he spoke, the Green Goblin skateboard below suddenly stopped.

Two faces, one above the other, met each other's eyes and saw themselves.

“You are my true self…” The clone Zheng Zha suddenly laughed. He sensed a strange familiarity in this Zheng Zha, something that the previous “Zheng Zha” did not have.

Zheng Zha also smiled and said, "I also feel very regretful that I couldn't fight you... Let's make up for it with this."

A terrifying heatwave erupted in the air, crimson flames rising from the atmosphere and sealing off the upper atmosphere. The intense heat, combined with the released power, transformed into a tangible pressure that crashed down on the clone Zheng Zha.

The clone Zheng Zha shouted, and the clothes he had just changed into turned into fragments and flew around again. Then, countless blood-red patterns of varying thicknesses spread across his body with a slightly eerie red light.

The oppressive force of the crimson flames was temporarily broken at this moment. Zheng Zha raised an eyebrow; he sensed a shared aura… but as Mu Xiang had said, the clone's use of vampire energy was completely different. And as these red lights converged into his heart from all directions, a thunderous sound echoed between the crimson light and the blazing glow!

That's the sound of a heart pumping!
"destroy!"

The clone Zheng Zha, however, showed no arrogance and immediately unleashed his destruction. At the same time, a phantom materialized behind him, but although the phantom possessed power, it appeared too broken, as if it had suffered some severe injury.

"A capable and virtuous prime minister!"

The Green Goblin skateboard, suspended in mid-air, became the support for the clone Zheng Zha's jump. He pushed off with one foot and threw a punch upwards. The Green Goblin skateboard made a crisp sound, then, as if losing all its power, it crashed rapidly to the ground... If the clone Zheng Zha hadn't subconsciously used a subtle technique, the skateboard would probably have been reduced to dust.

A blood-red fire lotus bloomed in the air, blocking the view above the clone Zheng Zha. He did not dodge at all, and threw a punch, which caused a violent energy fluctuation to erupt.

The fire lotus appeared to be broken with a single blow, but after being hit, it curled downwards and thus became stained with the fist of the clone Zheng Zha.

"break!"

The clone Zheng Zha roared, his fist gleaming with a blinding white light mixed with vampire energy. But this mingled energy wasn't the key; what truly made Zheng Zha's expression turn serious was the power that erupted amidst the entanglement of energy. This power instantly forced the crimson flames away from his fist.

"As expected, as expected, this is the real you, this is your true strength..." The clone Zheng Zha laughed heartily. The moment he was touched by the red flames, he felt his consciousness being invaded by the high temperature. If it weren't for the Heart of Blazing Light expelling this influence, he would probably have had to put in a lot more effort.

Zheng Zha smiled without answering. Between the first and second destructions of the Fire Lotus, his body ignited with blood-red flames, blurring the boundary between flesh and energy: "Red Lotus Transformation!"

The clone Zheng Zha's gaze also burned as intensely as the air around him: "I've seen that move before, bring out something even stronger..."

"His is a pirated copy..." Zheng Zha smiled disdainfully, "This is the real deal!"

The next moment, a thunderous storm blasted into the sky, shattering Zheng Zha's body before the immense force and the storm. As the clone of Zheng Zha passed through the raging red flames, countless dark red hands reached out from the space, grabbing the clone from all directions.

The Heart of Blazing Light flickered rapidly, and then a blazing white flame erupted from the clone of Zheng Zha, forcing the hand formed from countless red flames to retreat. The clone of Zheng Zha closed his eyes, reached out into the void, and wind and thunder swirled in his palm. He roared and punched to the side.

"Clang!" The fist collided with the dark red greatsword. The wind and lightning shattered under the scorching blade, then surged back, rushing against the sword towards the attacker. In the force of the impact and the swirling wind and lightning, the dark red within the greatsword also churned. Beneath the blade, the clone Zheng Zha's fist was cleaved in two, and blazing light enveloped his injured fist.

The newcomer was Zheng Zha, but at this moment, a sea of ​​blood-red flames trailed behind him. With each sword strike, the crimson flames drew a scorching and bloody trail of light.

"Did I miss you just now..." the clone Zheng Zha whispered, "Your presence will soon appear on the other side. If your perception wasn't strong enough, you probably would have been killed instantly..."

Zheng Zha had a smile on his face, which only the clone of Zheng Zha could recognize at a glance... Beneath that smile was a boiling fighting spirit!
The moment the wind and thunder touched Zheng Zha's hands, his hands suddenly turned red and then exploded. At the same time, the dark red light in the giant sword also intensified, and a crazy wave of fire swept out, with a force directly hitting the chest of the clone Zheng Zha.

The clone of Zheng Zha was violently forced backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood before quickly turning into nothingness in the intense heat.

He steadied himself and looked down at his reddened skin: "Your crimson flames... are indeed terrifying, but I have a feeling that if your crimson flames cannot penetrate into the spiritual realm, this temperature alone should not be able to harm me."

Zheng Zha, carrying his giant sword, said with a smile, "We're all at this level, shouldn't we understand by now?"

"Spirit and flesh as one..." The clone Zheng Zha nodded, "But that refers to our form of existence. It's not something that just any fourth-order cultivator can achieve when they make a move, touching two aspects of the other party and interfering with each other... You were able to do this so easily, I really admire you."

Zheng Zha chuckled: "Likewise, your punches aren't just brute force... It's closely related to your cultivation technique, isn't it? If this technique didn't provide the essence to your power, your strength alone wouldn't be enough to achieve such power."

The two of them chatted back and forth in the air, as if they were not mortal enemies standing on opposite sides, but long-lost old friends.

“I heard from Mu Xiang, and I understand what you care about…” Zheng Zha changed the subject, “Unfortunately, for the sake of our respective teams, we must decide the winner… If we want to protect our respective partners, we probably can’t have both; but if you want to see my will, I will not let you down.”

"I hope you won't either."

The intense heat gathered from all directions, and even Zheng Zha's clone began to feel obvious discomfort. If the burning sensation was only felt when he was hit before, now, within this space alone, it was enough to annihilate anyone below the fourth rank!

"Hahahaha..." The clone Zheng Zha suddenly laughed, not a laugh of being driven to the brink, but a laugh of relief.

“Our experiences are different. I don’t know what crises you’ve been through, and you don’t know how much suffering I’ve endured… But there’s one thing we can understand about each other.”

"From humble beginnings to our current heights, we have never bowed our heads to any opponent, have we?" A wild and untamed aura emanated from the clone Zheng Zha. "Even if our opponent were ourselves, we wouldn't... I acknowledge you, my true self, but if you want to defeat me and gain an advantage in your battle, then unleash even stronger methods!"

Zheng Zha felt the familiar aura and smiled as well. How familiar this aura was! Apart from the lack of the acquired essence blood, their genes should have been completely identical... Since the other party had unlocked the fourth-tier gene lock, he should also show the same respect.

This is both a sign of respect for the opponent and a sign of respect for oneself.

Zheng Zha did not believe that his strength surpassed that of the clone, which allowed him to unlock the genetic lock first... He understood that the clone did not possess the superhuman physique and strength that Mu Xiang could have solely based on bloodline, but rather amplified the physical output through methods such as energy counteraction.
