142 The Man in the Mirror (7)
After fighting like this for a while, Huang Chang was still unhurried, patiently absorbing the opponent's attack like a sponge, while the phantom clone was getting more and more impatient. Finally, after another round of rapid attacks failed to work, it was caught by Huang Chang with an oversight.
This is not a flaw deliberately exposed, but a real omission - Huang Chang seized the opportunity and slapped his backhand on his waist. The replica armor worked again, and a ray of light protected the phantom clone's body, defusing the fatal blow. But with this as a watershed, the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides began to reverse - Huang Chang felt that the opponent's offensive moves had been seen similarly, and decided to look at the opponent's defensive ability.
Huang Chang's attacks were equally ferocious and deadly, but the clones didn't have his ability to be meticulous and guarded - after all, just knowing that martial arts moves were useless, and they had to be able to use them skillfully. Huang Chang gained experience through countless actual battles in the sect's fighting arena, and this clone only "learned" his moves at most, and it was still early to comprehend it. In a hurry, he relied on wit to come up with some new tactics and new strategies, but in terms of overall comprehensiveness, it must be far worse than Huang Chang.
However, defense is the most basic test, and the slightest mistake will be seized by the opponent and take advantage of the weakness. Huang Chang had been entangled with that clone for so long just now, and he had a basic idea of its fighting habits. When he is defending, the opponent's offensive path can basically be guessed, so he can't hit him. And by the time his side started attacking, the clone's defensive strategy was almost predictable, and it was not difficult to crack.
So the attack and defense in the Heart Demon Hall began again, but this time the roles of the two sides were reversed, and the situation was much more tragic - Huang Chang's attacks repeatedly hit the other party, inspiring the glow protection of the magic robe armor one by one. Among all the equipment that the phantom clone copied Huang Chang, it was probably the most real armor of this magic robe, and it really had a magic weapon-level defensive power.
Back and forth, the fine iron rod in Huang Chang's hand hit it at least five or six times, but they were all dissolved in the light of the Dao Dao. The offensive that was enough to be fatal, but in front of that magic robe armor, it was repeatedly blocked, sliding away, at most only making the opponent stumble and take a few steps back, but there was no harm at all.
- Talisman to magic weapon, it's so tired!
However, no matter how strong the defensive equipment is, it can only be passively defended after all, and there is no way to meet a master who can't resist it. If one stick can't be broken, there will be two sticks and three sticks, and if one knife can't be pierced, there will be four knives and five knives...... Huang Chang was very patient and repeatedly attacked, anyway, he was practicing the opponent's moves, and of course the "target" was as resistant to hitting as possible.
The clone's face was distorted, and he had come up with all sorts of ways to try to turn the tide. But there is no way to completely suppress this strength. If it was a normal battle outside, the party in such a weak position would definitely have fled a long time ago, but this Heart Demon Hall is so big, there is no place to avoid and hide. Even if you want to slip away, there is nowhere to escape.
So it could only grit its teeth, and as the battle became more and more intense, the weapons in the clones' hands began to break one by one - the runes were useless when their mana was exhausted. Huang Chang himself is facing the same situation, but he has a lot of inventory in his pocket, so he can change it casually. You must know that even the most bulky stick weapons in his Qiankun Ring have three: fine iron rods, cooked copper sticks, and spirit wood sticks that are ready to be used when metal weapons are not good in special situations, and that's not counting his high-grade magic weapon Fire Dragon Stick!
There were also four or five bows and crossbows, and twenty or thirty swords...... and more than a dozen special spare weapons and runes, as well as his "machine tools" capable of automating mass-produced rune shields and runic arrows...... Equipping a small army if necessary is fine. The brothers who went out with Huang Chang often regarded him as an arsenal of activities, but it was not for nothing.
In comparison, the clone was far behind: a club, two long and short knives, a dagger, a set of bows and arrows, and several crossbow barrels, in addition to a magic mirror hanging from his waist, if it was not bad compared to an ordinary trial disciple, but compared to an "active arsenal", it was too far behind.
Until now, swords and daggers have lost their mana, and they have been thrown directly to the ground, the bow and arrow have been destroyed just after the ultimate, and the replica of the fine iron rod has also lost its mana, but in desperation, it has been continued to be held in the hand by the phantom clone as an ordinary iron rod.
However, because it is a magic weapon, there is no loss of the replica of the sigil treasure mirror, and it can still shine from time to time. It's just that this mirror itself is not used for combat, at least in Huang Chang's hands, it is not used as a weapon. But magic weapons are magic weapons after all, and the ability of the Seal Treasure Mirror to absorb and reflect spells is not useless in battle, so the phantom clone only counted it when choosing to copy equipment, and it also played some role in the battle, and even showed several actual combat uses that even Huang Chang hadn't studied much, which was an unexpected gain.
After dragging on for a while, when he found that the clone began to use a relatively slow speed to consume its own mana to use Dao Techniques to attack, instead of directly using the talisman, Huang Chang nodded secretly in his heart:
"Almost, this guy is almost at the limit. β
ββHuang Chang has been patiently counting the equipment it has displayed since just now, and now he has basically figured it out: the Heart Demon Hall Circle must be based on a certain value when copying the equipment of the trial disciples, and there is a total control. And this process should be completed in that magic mirror - the earliest weapon in the hands of the clone was originally a fire dragon stick, but once it was found that Huang Chang did not intend to use this thing at all, then it itself could not exert the power that the fire dragon stick should have, so when it rushed out, it was replaced with a more affordable fine iron rod, which must have made some trade-offs, and strengthened other aspects of the equipment accordingly, otherwise there was no need to replace it like this.
But now, it seems that there is no point in figuring out these details, the phantom clone has been dragged by him to the state of exhaustion, and it itself knows that the defeat is certain, and there is no chance of victory. However, these phantom clones were created to make trouble for the trial disciples, even if the situation was bad, they could run away and delay, but they would never give up.
So when Huang Chang finally struck three times in a row, finally breaking the armor of the cloned body into pieces, and inserting it into its lower abdomen with a knife, the clone showed a certain relief on its face.
"Finally...... It's over. β
It stopped struggling, actually smiled at Huang Chang, and then fell to the ground, turning into a cloud of black gas. When the black gas cleared, there was only one pass token left on the ground.
