At the moment when the recreated jade stone lit up, everyone present instinctively squinted their eyes, slightly stung by the glare.

Then, the recreated jade stone condensed an illusory shadow, whose figure and demeanor were almost a carbon copy of Qin An.

Just a glance would reveal the immense power the jade stone-formed phantom possessed.

Qin An took a step back and said calmly, "Defeat him first, and then come to me."

As soon as he spoke, the faces of Ouyang Xun and the others changed dramatically.

They were not fools, having fought countless battles to reach their current status.

Thus, through their keen intuition, they could discern just how formidable the jade stone’s illusion was.

Chen Wuming sneered, "Alright then, let’s see just how powerful your treasure is."

Ming Ruxin said nothing, but as her hands dropped, two white silks slipped out from her sleeves.

The white silks seemed ordinary but contained terrifying and unsettling Void Essence.

Ouyang Xun drew the long sword from his waist and said slowly, "Attack."

The three of them had stepped forward; it would seem superfluous not to engage in battle now.

Chen Wuming was the first to stride forward.

Then, the Void Essence around him intensified, as if turning into blazing fire.

Flames rose from his arms, rushing towards the phantom.

The fire condensed into a dragon and, taking the shape of a dragon, bit towards the phantom’s head.

Meanwhile, Ming Ruxin’s hands kept flicking, and the two white silks seemed to come alive, coiling towards the phantom’s lower limbs.

Ouyang Xun was more straightforward, thrusting his long sword at the phantom’s chest.

The three attacked different parts of the phantom.

At this moment, the phantom moved.

With its right hand slicing horizontally, three layers of force converged on the blade.

The power of Three Blades Unite was unleashed to the fullest by the phantom.

The left hand, meanwhile, burned with Qi Blood Power, striking at the nearest Ouyang Xun.

The phantom consumed nothing.

It could indefinitely wield Qin An’s Secret Techniques.

At certain times, it could even be said to surpass Qin An in strength.

Of course, every action of the phantom was controlled by Qin An.

Plus, it was recreating Qin An’s abilities, hence its formidable strength.

"Boom!"

A terrifying roar ensued, and Ouyang Xun was the first to suffer a heavy blow.

Confronting the phantom’s Qi Blood Power head-on, he felt a force surge through his sword, passing through his arm to his entire body, making him feel as if he was about to fall apart.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he staggered back several steps before coming to a stop.

Meanwhile, Ming Ruxin and Chen Wuming’s attacks, once unleashed, were intercepted by the might of the Three Blades Unite.

The roar echoed again, and the immense aftershock forced Ming Ruxin and Chen Wuming to retreat several steps.

"Not bad," Qin An said calmly. "With strength like this, you’re indeed formidable, but it’s still not enough. How about we continue?"

Upon hearing this, the phantom suddenly wielded the long knife with the speed of a hurricane.

Shadowy blades emerged one after another, each imbued with the power of the Three Blades Unite, enveloping the three of them.

Ouyang Xun looked at the overwhelming shadow blades, feeling an unprecedented despair for the first time.

He never thought he would one day feel so powerless to struggle.

Chen Wuming’s throat moved, his lips dry.

They had just experienced the terror of the phantom’s attack, but now this dense web of shadow blades couldn’t even be described as terrifying.

It even gave him an illusion of being unable to resist.

Ming Ruxin gritted her teeth, "Do not despair, stand up! If we don’t fight, we’ve lost; losing means no chance for redemption!"

She flung the two white silks, meeting part of the shadow blades.

Ouyang Xun and Chen Wuming exchanged glances, a desperate resolve flashing in their eyes.

Then, all three unleashed their Secret Techniques, sweeping towards the sky of shadow blades.

Another terrifying roar resounded.

The sky of shadow blades scattered.

The three of them sat on the ground, their faces pale as paper, without any strength to act.

They were completely spent, even their Void Essence was utterly depleted in this battle.

Their condition at this moment was dire, even an ordinary person could easily kill them.

Yet the phantom still existed, emanating a terrifying aura, as if it had never weakened.

Qin An said calmly, "Convinced?"

Ouyang Xun’s face was full of bleakness.

There was no choice but to concede.

Their defeat was already certain, a defeat so thorough.

Even those around could see it clearly.

Being stubborn at this point was pointless, so they might as well admit it openly.

"Convinced."

"Then why don’t you get lost?" Qin An spoke with a cold tone, retrieving the recreated jade stone.

The phantom vanished accordingly.

His attitude towards these three was completely different from towards Man Shan Yue.

Man Shan Yue at least came forth to challenge alone, showing a man willing to take responsibility, so Qin An had no issue with him.

But these three intended to be opportunists in a struggle; thus, they couldn’t blame him for not sparing their dignity.

Ouyang Xun struggled to get up, cupped his fist towards Qin An, and then left dispassionately.

Chen Wuming and Ming Ruxin also disappeared into the street.

The street first fell silent, then erupted in deafening chatter.

While these three weren’t top-tier in their respective powers, anywhere they went they’d cause a stir.
