Chapter 1287 - 1287: Mutual Disdain

It's not that his brain wasn't working; it's just that in such an environment, Liu Zixuan couldn't afford to think too much.

While protecting Luo Xi and keeping an eye on the surroundings, he also had to think about how to break the situation.

Alright, this was just Liu Zixuan's excuse to avoid being looked down upon by his clone.

Thinking of this, Liu Zixuan took out the Relic Pearl and said to Luo Xi, "In a while, we both will enter the ruins."

"Alright!" Luo Xi nodded slightly.

Thereupon, Liu Zixuan set up a small Eight Trigrams position using the Ghost Gate Needle according to the Six Jia and Six Dun directions, then found the Life Gate among the Eight Gates.

Once the position was set, the Xuanyuan Sword immediately appeared out of thin air, lifting the Relic Pearl. Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi exchanged a nod and leapt into the interior of the Relic Pearl.

Boom!

Puff!

At the moment they entered the Relic Pearl, the Xuanyuan Sword radiated a blinding light, making the originally dark prison cell extremely bright. The sword blade then paused and burst towards the Life Gate's position.

The once lifeless cell was shattered completely due to the brilliance, especially when the sword penetrated the Life Gate, it felt like some kind of treasure was being born.

At this moment, Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi also quietly let out a sigh of relief inside the Relic Pearl.

"You... how did you become like this?" Luo Xi was about to find a place to sit and rest but then looked up to see a different clone of Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan glanced over, slightly startled.

The clone was wearing a tight-fitting black outfit and somehow got a cloak draped over his shoulders, with his lips turning black. It looked like a demon cosplay outfit.

The clone grinned, "Doesn't this look cool?"

"Cool my ass! You're neither human nor ghost. With a face just like mine, if you go out like this, people would laugh their teeth out!" Liu Zixuan scolded irritably.

The clone was unbothered, "You're you, and I'm me. How can we be compared? I remember outside, many young people liked this style!"

Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead, "In my memory, other people's clones are either puppets or somewhat intelligent and very much like their original. I guess you're probably the most unlike me and the most aggravating clone in the world."

"What can you do about it!" the clone said with a mischievous smile, "Come on, bite me if you're not happy!"

Pfft!

Luo Xi couldn't hold back her laughter and said to Liu Zixuan, "I think he doesn't resemble you in other ways, but this harmless rogue attitude completely inherits your style and executes it perfectly!"

Liu Zixuan wore a depressed face. Even though he was a Life and Death Realm powerhouse, he was still playing cosplay like children!

He glared at his clone, "I'm not even going to comment on your outfit, but why are your lips black? It doesn't look like you applied anything."

"I'm curious too," the clone scratched his head, "I've felt the corners of my lips changing since I got in here, so I dressed like this to match."

Liu Zixuan frowned and went forward to feel the pulse of the clone. The blackish-blue hue on his lips looked somewhat like poison, but after diagnosing, he found no toxins in the clone's body. Moreover, the flow of Inner Strength in the clone's meridians was more active than before.

Just judging from this, the clone's strength might even be slightly stronger than Liu Zixuan himself.

This was not logical.

It's known that the clone originated from Liu Zixuan's multi-layered realm and unique bloodline and would progress as Liu Zixuan progressed, but wouldn't surpass the original by much.

"What? Are you worried that since my strength is about to surpass yours, I might eliminate you to replace your existence?" the clone teased jokingly.

Liu Zixuan shook his head, "Something doesn't feel right. I remember after we teamed up to defeat the Spirit Race's Demon Emperor Chi Yin, a peculiar mark appeared abruptly on your back."

"Yeah, but it disappeared later!" the clone shrugged with a laugh.

"Since then, I've felt something amiss. Although you're a peculiar clone, there's always been a bond between us." Liu Zixuan stroked his chin, "Besides the changes around your lips and within your meridians, do you feel anything else?"

"Not at the moment," the clone spoke seriously.

"I hope nothing goes wrong. The main event of this relic adventure is about to start, and you're my strongest trump card," Liu Zixuan muttered.

"You're using your original realm, while I'm derived from your Second Layer Realm. Haven't you considered that another clone might appear?" the clone smiled meaningfully.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Luo Xi felt uncomfortable hearing this conversation and couldn't help coughing vigorously several times, "What do you mean another third wheel will appear?"

"Your girlfriend seems unaware of your situation," the clone patted Liu Zixuan's shoulder, "You know it, and so do I. The reason I exist is because of your unique bloodline and multi-layered realm, so calculating in order, having three layers means there should be a second clone."

"When you first appeared, not only bloodline and realm contributed, the Power of the Dragon Veins helped a lot too, so the second clone might rely on the special power within your eyes."

Liu Zixuan paused, then laughed, "Besides, one clone of you is headache enough for me. If another appears, won't I go crazy?"

"Since when did the esteemed Xuan Ye ever get scared!" the clone disdainfully glanced at Liu Zixuan, "The Xuanyuan Sword's flying speed has slowed, meaning we're almost there. You two should tidy up and be ready to go out, I want to dress up here perfectly so when I go out, I will definitely captivate a lot of beautiful women."

"Just don't go out under my name!" Liu Zixuan cursed.

The clone glared at Liu Zixuan, "Why would I use your name, damn it, you have plenty of wives, leaving me forever single. Not only do you not help me find beauties, but you also hit me hard like this. Having a master like you is truly unfortunate."

"Damn it!" Liu Zixuan was immediately displeased, his original hadn't even complained about the clone, yet he was now being provoked by it.

"Alright, we've stopped, we should head out so Xuanyuan Sword and Relic Pearl don't attract some ill-intentioned people outside!" Luo Xi suggested.

Indeed, her words came true because when the Xuanyuan Sword and Relic Pearl emerged from the barren grounds, they attracted the attention of several Martial Artists. After all, flying weapons were a rarity in this world.

Moreover, appearing in this Ancient Ruins, they thought it was a fortune or treasure left by some mighty one, and they all stepped forward, intending to claim it for themselves…
