Xu Fan explained with a pale face: "I know where we are now. This is the Mirror Domain, a unique dark realm belonging to the Mirror Demon."
"Mirror Domain? Mirror Demon?" Wang Fatty clearly didn't read much, as he didn't understand a single word.
"If you don't know about the Mirror Demon, surely you've heard of the Seven Demon Generals?"
At the mention of the Seven Demon Generals, Wang Fatty's entire body trembled with fear: "S-s-seven... Seven Demon Generals!? The ones who served under the Blood Demon two hundred years ago?"
Wang Fatty's voice became piercingly shrill with fear, but neither of them paid attention to that, as the reputation of the Seven Demon Generals was simply too terrifying.
It had reached the level where their name alone could stop children from crying at night.
"That's right, the Seven Demon Generals. Two hundred years ago, the Blood Demon emerged and established the Blood Demon Cult, gathering evil practitioners from across the world. The seven strongest among them were known as the Seven Demon Generals, and this Mirror Demon was one of them, ranking third."
"Impossible! I've heard the legends of the Seven Demon Generals. Although the Blood Demon led them and the Blood Demon Cult in terrorizing the world two hundred years ago, weren't they quickly eliminated by the Demon Suppression Bureau? I heard countless masters died in that battle."
Xu Fan nodded: "According to legend, they did die, but who knows what mysterious methods beings of their level might possess? Besides, this is definitely the Mirror Demon's Mirror Space - all the signs match the descriptions in the Blood Demon Cult Chronicles.
The Blood Demon Cult was the greatest enemy of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Even though they went underground after the Blood Demon's death, their two hundred years of development made them a force not to be underestimated. That's why the Blood Demon Cult Chronicles is required reading for us Demon Eliminators. Weren't you paying attention in class?"
"I fell asleep during that lesson. Oh, never mind whether I listened or not - what's most important now is, where did Master Gu go? What should we do?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Master Gu must have entered the Mirror Space. That's the rule of the Mirror Domain - you absolutely cannot look into mirrors here. Once you do, you'll be sucked into the Mirror Space."
"What's inside the Mirror Space?"
"Yourself."
"Obviously, but what else?"
"Two of yourself."
"What!?" Wang Fatty exclaimed in shock.
"The Mirror Space creates an exact copy of yourself. To escape, you must defeat that copy. However, the copy has exactly the same strength, weapons, and even combat experience as you."
"If everything's identical, how can you win? It would only end in a draw."
Xu Fan shook his head: "You're wrong. It won't be a draw. The copy will always win."
"Why? If we're identical, how come it wins?"
"Because the copy doesn't know fatigue, fear, or emotions. It's absolutely rational, so it won't make mistakes. But humans always do.
Two hundred years ago, the Mirror Demon left a famous saying: 'The only one who can defeat you is yourself.'
That's what his Mirror Space is all about."
.......
Inside the Mirror Space.
Gu Qingfeng looked with interest at Gu Qingfeng.
"So, you're my copy?" Gu Qingfeng calmly observed the man before him who was just as handsome as himself.
After looking into the mirror, he had been pulled into a pure white space, where another version of himself stood opposite him.
Everything was identical, from appearance to height to clothing, even down to the four weapons at his waist.
Although Gu Qingfeng was in the Mirror Space, he could hear everything Wang Fatty and Xu Fan were saying outside, so he understood his situation.
However, the outside world couldn't hear what he was saying.
"So, you're my copy?" the other Gu Qingfeng repeated like a recording.
Gu Qingfeng was taken aback: "Are you copying what I say?"
The copy was taken aback: "Are you copying what I say?"
"Damn, you really are identical?"
"Damn, you really are identical?"
"Though, seeing myself from this angle for the first time, I must say I'm incredibly handsome - perfect from every angle."
"Could you have some shame?"
"Huh!? So you can actually talk?" Gu Qingfeng was surprised.
The copy smiled coldly: "I'm an independent copy of you, of course I can talk."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng became furious: "Then why were you copying me? Were you messing with me?"
By now, Gu Qingfeng was thoroughly angry. He realized this Mirror Demon was truly despicable, full of cruel jokes. Since arriving at Black Water Village, he had been toyed with countless times.
He decided that when he caught the Mirror Demon, he would make it wish it had never been born!
But first, the urgent matter was dealing with this most annoying copy.
However, before taking action, Gu Qingfeng needed to confirm one thing.
"System, can this Mirror Space copy you?" Gu Qingfeng asked mentally.
"This system possesses uniqueness and cannot be copied."
Getting this confirmation, Gu Qingfeng felt confident. What was there to fear? He could let the copy hit him and only grow stronger.
Wait a minute!
If the copy's strength matches mine, when it hits me, I get stronger, but because it's my copy, it also gets stronger, and this keeps repeating, then doesn't that mean...
Realizing this, Gu Qingfeng was suddenly overjoyed - he might have found a way to exploit this system!
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng's gaze toward his copy became burning hot.
The copy felt a chill - it hadn't expected the original to be so narcissistic.
Feeling creeped out by that stare, the copy made the first move, going all out without holding back.
Its face as cold as winter, the copy's right arm bent backward like a spring compressed to its limit.
Boom!
The punch shot forward, the spring-like arm suddenly straightening, carrying tremendous momentum and creating a sonic boom.
Before the fist arrived, its wind pressure hit first.
This punch contained the power of nine bulls and two tigers.
Gu Qingfeng matched it without dodging, throwing an equally powerful punch, unleashing the force of nine bulls and two tigers without reserve.
Bang!
A huge, muffled metallic clash rang out deafeningly.
Both men stepped back three paces, their bodies emitting a faint golden light - the Iron Body technique!
The Iron Body nullified all damage, so both remained unharmed.
Gu Qingfeng was slightly surprised that his opponent also had the Iron Body technique. What about the Wood King Sword?
He suddenly drew the Wood King Sword from his waist and thrust it into the ground, shouting: "Thousand Woods Become a Grove! Ten Thousand Trees Make a Forest! Forest of All Creation!"
As Gu Qingfeng gave the command, the Wood King Sword in his hand vanished, replaced by endless towering trees, thick vines, emerald grass, man-eating flowers...
Tens of thousands of plants and trees burst madly from the ground, growing explosively! In an instant, a forest appeared before them, and it continued to spread, seeming to want to fill the entire Mirror Space.
This was the Wood King Sword's killing move - or more precisely, it was its killing move when it was still a earth-grade spiritual weapon. Now that its grade had dropped, although its power was far from what it once was, it was still barely usable.
Gu Qingfeng had known this move for a long time but never had a chance to use it, as no one had ever forced him to go all out - except himself.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
