Chapter 598: Chapter 598: True Identity Exposed!

The heartbeat of the Emperor’s daughter Xiyue pounded wildly, being pulled by Chen Xiao’s broad hand. Feeling that warmth, her panic surprisingly settled a bit.

"Emperor’s daughter!"

Seeing Xiyue being taken away, those three powerhouses of the Great Zhou Imperial Family were shocked, but soon, a dense swarm of puppets surrounded them.

They could only struggle to fight fiercely against these puppets.

Finally, seeing the increasing number of puppets surrounding them, they had no choice but to grit their teeth, force their way out, and squeeze into other passages.

The others did the same.

They also realized that these puppets were flooding towards them in the main passage. Meanwhile, it took some time to react.

The passages were their only escape route.

Otherwise, they would surely be surrounded and killed by these puppets until they exhausted their strength and died!

Jiang Lang was also in a frenzy. After struggling to kill one puppet, he fled into one of the passages in a mess.

The puppets reacted too, returning to those passages, chasing them all the way.

Chen Xiao and the Emperor’s daughter Xiyue ran wildly all the way.

Behind them, three puppets, with bloodthirsty lights in their eyes, swiftly chased after them.

The heart of the Emperor’s daughter Xiyue pounded wildly. Although she had now advanced to the Transcendent Realm Peak, compared to those Transcendent Realm Peak Martial Artists who had experienced countless life-and-death battles, there was still a significant gap.

Moreover, her foundation was unstable. Facing the pursuit of three Transcendent Realm Peak puppets, the outcome seemed bleak.

And most importantly...

She had a late Transcendent Realm Chen Xiao beside her.

In such a critical moment, Chen Xiao was not a help but a burden to her.

After taking a deep breath, she said, "Xiao Chen, you go first, I’ll hold them off for now!"

Saying this, the Emperor’s daughter Xiyue drew her sword horizontally, blocking the three puppets.

Chen Xiao did not expect her to make such a move.

This was completely unlike the image he had of the domineering and ruthless Emperor’s daughter Xiyue.

The three puppets, with even more bloodthirsty lights in their eyes, raised their metal arms and lunged at the Emperor’s daughter Xiyue.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!"

Under the joint attacks of the three puppets, the Emperor’s daughter Xiyue repeatedly staggered back.

At this moment, a sharp and majestic sword energy abruptly flashed before her eyes.

"Crack!"

One of the puppets was unexpectedly split on the spot, and the light in its eyes dimmed instantly.

It was Chen Xiao who made the move!

She looked at Chen Xiao, somewhat unable to believe it.

The combat power that Chen Xiao had just unleashed, was it really the power that a late Transcendent Realm could unleash?

In one move, he annihilated a puppet comparable to the Transcendent Realm Peak?

Had Chen Xiao been hiding his strength all along?

Before she could recover, Chen Xiao’s figure dashed, his body lightning-fast!

All his spiritual power and physical strength exploded instantly!

"Pop! Pop! Pop!"

His sharp sword, like raindrops, fell on these puppets’ hard bodies!

Although these puppets had no sense of pain, their joint connections were indeed their most fragile parts, and in an instant, two puppets shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of scrap iron!

Chen Xiao effortlessly destroyed their energy cores.

The beautiful eyes of the Emperor’s daughter Xiyue widened!

Three Transcendent Realm Peak puppets were dealt with by Chen Xiao just like that?

This...

Wasn’t this too strong?!

"Let’s go, otherwise those puppets behind us will catch up again in a moment." Chen Xiao withdrew his sharp sword, his face calm as if he had just done an insignificant thing.

"Oh, oh." The Emperor’s daughter Xiyue nodded subconsciously.

Seeing her in a daze, Chen Xiao directly picked her up horizontally and quickly moved forward with her.

"Xiao Chen... put me down." The Emperor’s daughter Xiyue felt extremely ashamed. She had never had such intimate contact with a man before. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

After walking for a while, Chen Xiao finally set her down.

The Emperor’s daughter Xiyue was a bit unsteady, her delicate body weak.

Seeing no pursuers behind, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then her face showed strong concern, "I wonder how those three seniors are doing now..."

Chen Xiao pouted, caring little about the lives of those three old guys.

He felt not the least bit of goodwill towards those three.

"Don’t worry, the three of them working together are enough to deal with some of the puppets."

Hearing this, the Emperor’s daughter Xiyue nodded helplessly. Now that they were scattered, there was no use in worrying.

The priority now was still moving forward.

The two proceeded along the passage.

Soon, they arrived at the end of the passage, where another stone gate appeared in front of them.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, pushed open the stone gate, scanning around before stepping into the passage.

The Emperor’s daughter Xiyue quickly followed. In such a crisis, she had already regarded Chen Xiao as her only support.

Once the two entered the passage, the scene before them suddenly changed swiftly.

Then, a mirror suddenly appeared on the ground.

Chen Xiao lifted his head and saw himself in the mirror.

Not Xiao Chen.

But Chen Xiao.

This mirror reflected his true appearance.

His expression changed slightly.

But suddenly, the Chen Xiao in the mirror grinned, revealing a chilling smile. In the next second, Chen Xiao felt his body lose balance, forcibly pulled into the Mirror World.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen!" Emperor’s daughter Xiyue yelled anxiously.

However, in the next instant, another version of herself appeared before her eyes, pulling her into the Mirror World.

Chen Xiao stared intently at himself before him.

It seemed that this challenge, his opponent, was the replicated version of himself.

The figure opposite charged directly at Chen Xiao, resembling him not just in spiritual power and physical strength but even wielding the same weapon as Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, and in the next moment, he engaged in a fierce battle with this duplicated self.

The battle was exceptionally intense, and in just a moment, Chen Xiao was already covered in wounds.

After all, he had to face himself, with strength almost identical to his own. Only by achieving a breakthrough in this battle could he successfully pass the test.

"Kill." He was completely enraged, his body’s limits constantly breaking through, as his deadly moves erupted in succession.

And the opponent used exactly the same moves.

He gained no advantage.

But the opponent was merely a replica, while Chen Xiao was solid flesh and blood. This intense combat put an enormous strain on his body.

The figure opposite also showed a hint of contempt, seizing the moment of Chen Xiao’s weakness to launch a fierce attack again.

Chen Xiao could only forcibly muster his spirits, clashing with the opponent once more. Gradually, his body entered a mysterious state, and all the secret techniques, cultivation techniques, martial skills he had learned flashed through his mind.

Following the insights from his mind, he instinctively unleashed techniques more powerful than before. Especially the Flying Swallow Thirteen Swords, which completed a breakthrough in that instant, successfully reaching the realm of Great Perfection, causing the swordsmanship’s power to surge instantly!

He let out a sudden shout.

"Swish—" A beam of sword light swept across, instantly piercing through the figure across.

"Extinguish." Chen Xiao exhaled a Qi Force, and this silhouette instantly dissipated like a phantom!

A white light flew from the vanishing shadow, entering Chen Xiao’s body, spreading a feeling of thorough comfort throughout his limbs and bones...

When he opened his eyes again, Chen Xiao found himself back in the real world.

Underfoot was a pile of mirror fragments.

He carefully sensed the changes in his body. "After that white light entered my body, not only did my injuries recover, but my physical strength also increased. Truly amazing!"

"It seems, this wasn’t just a test, but also a huge opportunity..."

He glanced around.

Discovering that Emperor’s daughter Xiyue had also disappeared, only a mirror emitting a white light hovered beside him.

"Could it be that she was also absorbed by the mirror?"

However, this test, she would have to pass on her own.

Easy to say, yet also difficult.

But to achieve a breakthrough in such a short time, reaching a new realm, is not easy at all.

The counterpart inside the mirror had the same strength as the real one, but was tireless, emotionless, normally leaving no chance to win.

Only by breaking through oneself could one overcome the opponent.

A moment later, with a sudden crack, the mirror pieces before him shattered all over the ground, and a figure slowly coalesced before him, finally becoming solid.

It was Emperor’s daughter Xiyue.

At this moment, her clothes were in disarray, her snow-white skin glistening with sweat, gasping heavily, her delicate body limp. Clearly, the earlier battle had consumed a substantial amount of her strength.

Chen Xiao stepped forward to support her, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine." Emperor’s daughter Xiyue shook her head, "Just a bit drained, need to recuperate."

She turned her head, "Xiao Chen..."

Before finishing her words, her sentence abruptly stopped, staring at Chen Xiao with wide eyes.

"What’s wrong?" Chen Xiao was puzzled, "Want me to carry you and continue walking?"

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue clenched her teeth, "You little thief, how did you appear here? I... I’ll kill you!"

With that, she raised her sharp sword and slashed at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong, he quickly dodged the sword, only to found out, the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day secret technique had somehow already failed.

In other words, he now appeared before Emperor’s daughter Xiyue in the form of "Chen Xiao"!

"Little thief, prepare to die!!" Emperor’s daughter Xiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred, disregarding her weakness, she thrust several sword strikes at Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao drew his sharp sword and struck back.

"Clang—" The sharp sword in Emperor’s daughter Xiyue’s hand was directly knocked away by him!

"Die." Emperor’s daughter Xiyue raised her hand, delivering a slap.

In response, Chen Xiao directly grabbed her wrist, gently twisting!

In an instant... Emperor’s daughter Xiyue’s hand was twisted behind her, her delicate body was captured in an awkward posture, her plump hips raised, facing him.

Chen Xiao raised his hand and slapped down!

"Smack—"

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue’s body trembled softly, "You..."

"Little thief, how are you here? Where did Xiao Chen go?"

Chen Xiao smiled calmly, "There was never a Xiao Chen, I am Xiao Chen."

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue’s pupils contracted, as if struck by lightning!
