They exchanged attacks, sparks flying as they mightily clashed.
Yet, the tall, thin youth felt a chill within his heart now. He had been confident that his finger attack would be the first to arrive even though it had actually been unleashed afterwards.
Yet, he now discovered that he was actually slightly slower as the other party’s sword-fingers would be first to pierce right into his throat!
The tall, thin youth’s gaze was solemn as he executed a palm art with his other hand, resembling a great river which surged over in an endless stream with a shocking momentum.
Yet, the other party’s sword-fingers rode the wind and broke the waves, continually breaking past the obstruction of his palm.
That tall, thin youth simultaneously utilised both finger and palm, his finger like lofty, precipitous mountains and his palm like rivers and seas.
His true essence surged, his martial true intent manifesting as it instantly created mountains and rivers within the air that extended for ten thousand li.
The mountain range was endless, the long river surging to encompass the entire Whale Fishing City.
This huge, majestic city seemed to be temporarily removed from the Whale Region and from the heavens and earth of the World beyond Worlds as it had become an independent world of its own.
All this was caused by the world of rivers and mountains formed of the tall, thin youth’s martial arts.
Instantly, countless spirit patterns lit up in the Xie Family Manor and Whale Fishing City, intersecting in the air above the city.
The guardian grand formation was directly activated as it prevented the tall, thin youth’s attack from affecting the entire city.
Yet, beneath the suppression of these mountains and rivers which seemingly formed an entire world of its own, the guardian grand formation instantly shook with spirit patterns continually falling apart.
Fortunately, it was not Whale Fishing City and the Xie Family Manor that was actually this tall, thin youth’s target. Otherwise, this place would most likely long since have been levelled into flat land.
Still, affected by the tip of the typhoon, the grand formation seemed unable to hold on for much longer.
However, everyone knew at this moment that this tall, thin youth was no longer holding back, having gone all out!
His opponent was completely different from the likes of the black-clothed youth from earlier.
Despite this, his opponent merely laughed nonchalantly in the face of such a ferocious attack.
His sword changed slightly, still retaining its unstoppable momentum as it did not halt in the slightest, cleaving through the ten thousand li of mountains and rivers that stood before him!
A bloodied hole was directly pierced through the palm of the tall, thin youth by his opponent’s sword.
Sword qi was visible on his fingertip as it continued forward!
“Oh?” In the elegant room of the winehouse, Yan Zhaoge’s gaze suddenly flickered as he saw this sword-qi.
In the Xie Family Manor, the tall, thin youth could only retract his other hand, meeting finger with finger.
The next moment, fresh blood splattered everywhere as one of the tall, thin youth’s index fingers was shockingly hacked off by the sword-qi!
That image of mountains and rivers which had enveloped Whale Fishing City instantly vanished, the heavens and earth regaining their usual state.
The tall, thin youth stumbled backwards, a hole in one of his palms and a missing finger on the other as fresh blood gushed out of those wounds.
His opponent smiled, “Truth and falsity cannot be reversed. You are unlucky, just happening to run into me when impersonating me. Otherwise, you might still have been able to fool some people.”
As he said this, this third ‘Yan Zhaoge’ moved once more, speedily nearing the tall, thin youth.
The tall, thin youth wanted to resist. Yet, a figure flashed, and he could only emit a tragic groan as a tragic wound was slashed right across his chest. He stumbled backwards, toppling onto the ground.
Those present had insufficient cultivation bases. There was only Yan Zhaoge who had clearly seen that there had been a jade necklace in his hand when he had retracted it after wounding his foe.
The tall, thin youth’s face finally changed.
Still, before he could speak, the other party smilingly moved once more.
This time, a single slash across the throat!
The tall, thin youth clutched his throat, yet could no longer make any noise as he collapsed limply.
Shocked, Xie Liang said, “At the end of the day, he holds Golden Court Mountain’s jade pendant…”
That third ‘Yan Zhaoge’ smiled, “While the jade pendant is real, it is but an object which can be stolen or snatched. It does not prove anything. He is also not of Golden Court Mountain’s direct lineage. Even if he knows people from Golden Court Mountain, Golden Court Mountain will not blame me for killing him over having impersonated me.”
Everyone present was intimated by his overwhelming aura in claiming a life as they could not speak.
“What, is everyone thinking that if another fake appears now who can defeat this Yan, wouldn’t he be the real one then, and I a fake?”
As he spoke thus, he was looking at that black-clothed youth.
The black-clothed youth was startled.
The other party laughed, “Didn’t you want a taste of the Extreme Yang Seal? Well, get ready. This Yan will grant you your wish.”
Now, sunlight actually lit up about his body, the blazing, tough power of yang illuminating the entire city.
Xie Liang and the rest exchanged looks. They had been thinking exactly what he had said. Still, seeing how things were now, they were mostly convinced of his identity.
Now, Xie Liang’s expression suddenly changed slightly as he appeared to have been secretly notified of something. A look of hesitation appeared on his face.
That third ‘Yan Zhaoge’ smiled, “What is it? Has the person Family Head sent to obtain the image of my appearance returned? Let him come in. I have already said-truth and falsity cannot be reversed.”
Xie Liang grit his teeth.
The three who claimed to be the Solar Luminary Young Master were all extremely powerful, to the extent that none of them were figures that their Whale Fishing City might be able to stand against.
This was especially true for the third one who was extremely powerful. If he was a fake and he was exposed, feeling outraged at the humiliation, the consequences then might truly end up disastrous.
Still, seeing how confident he appeared, Xie Liang still waved his hand, calling, “Bring the person in.”
A moment later, someone entered, “Family Head…”
Xie Liang commanded, “Let us see it!”
That person took out a jade talisman, infusing his true essence within. A projection instantly showed atop top the jade talisman.
Everyone held their breaths, staring at that silhouette.
As it condensed, Yan Zhaoge’s features appeared. They matched completely with those of the youth!
Everyone exhaled, no longer harbouring any doubts at all.
So this was the real Yan Zhaoge!
Xie Liang and that Whale Breath Sect Elder hurriedly bowed, “We were impolite before the Solar Luminary Young Master. Please forgive us for our behaviour!”
The other party smiled, “The ignorant are not guilty. You never saw me before, easily being hoodwinked as a result. I too only came hearing that two fakes had caused a ruckus here…”
At this point, he suddenly stopped in alarm.
An extremely powerful aura was directly bearing down upon the Xie Family Manor.
Everyone dazedly watched on as the Northern Ocean Clone strode right in.
The Northern Ocean Clone did not waste time saying anything as he draw a ring of light in mid-air, a scene of light thus forming.
Within it, Yan Zhaoge sat leisurely in the elegant room of the winehouse.
&n
bsp; Deathly silence suddenly descended upon the Xie Family Manor. Then, an uproar arose as everyone looked astonishedly at the two Yan Zhaoges who looked exactly the same.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 807: Demonspawn, show your true form!
HSSB807: Demonspawn, show your true form!
Inside the room, Yan Zhaoge sipped on tea as he smilingly watched the events unfolding in the Xie Family Manor.
Currently, everyone in the Xie Family Manor had fallen into a dazed state.
Everyone had just been utterly convinced that the third ‘Yan Zhaoge’ should finally be the real one.
His strength could only be marvelled at.
However arrogant and confident that black-clothed youth had been, however mild and composed that tall, thin youth had been, they were both nothing at all before this third person, being totally unable to match him.
It was said that the Solar Luminary Young Master Yan Zhaoge possessed extraordinary might as an unrivalled genius who far surpassed other experts of the same cultivation level.
Yet, they had actually had no real inkling of exactly how mighty he was, what level he had attained.
Based on the knowledge of those in the Xie Family Manor, they felt: Being as powerful as this third person-that should already be the limit, right?
Speaking of Yan Zhaoge, that he possessed the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Extreme Yang Seal, was something that would never be overlooked.
To some extent, his current fame within the southern Yang Heaven Territory as the Solar Luminary Young Master stemmed mostly from the Extreme Yang Seal.
However arrogant and domineering that black-clothed youth had been, however well-mannered and composed that tall, thin youth had been, neither of them had taken out the Extreme Yang Seal at the end of the day.
Already having been beaten to the point of near death, the Extreme Yang Seal had still not made an appearance. Just this alone was enough to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were fakes.
Yet, even though this third ‘Yan Zhaoge’ had not shown the Extreme Yang Seal, that tough and blazing, vast and majestic power of extreme yang was something they could not imagine might possibly appear from any supreme treasure apart from the Extreme Yang Seal.
If these two factors were still insufficient for them to believe his identity, the image of Yan Zhaoge that those of the Xie Family had obtained made it seem that there was really no question about it.
If Xie Liang and the rest had been in possession of an image of Yan Zhaoge right from the start, they would have been able to spot the discrepancy as soon as the first fake came knocking on their door.
After his arrival, Xie Liang had sent subordinates to find circulated images of Yan Zhaoge right away.
It had only been to confirm that first person’s identity at the time. Who could have known that two other Yan Zhaoges would consecutively appear at his home?
Still, they had fortunately managed to obtain it in time, thus confirming this third person’s identity.
…But then again, what was this now?
Xie Liang held his forehead, feeling that something really was wrong with his Whale Fishing City’s fengshui.
Looking at the two Yan Zhaoges who looked exactly the same, he coughed dryly, “The two of you…”
This ‘Yan Zhaoge’ in the Xie Family Manor had previously been composed and confident throughout, acting with casual ease.
Now, however, a solemn look appeared in his eyes, his mood falling greatly as he faced the Northern Ocean Clone who was not concealing his powerful aura in the slightest.
He wanted to say something, but Yan Zhaoge had already spoken mildly before he could.
“Demonspawn, show your true form!”
Hearing these words, everyone in the manor was first taken aback.
This ‘demonspawn’ had not seemed like purely a form of rebuke?
The other party’s expression changed. Just as he was about to take action, the Northern Ocean Clone directly extended his hand, pressuring down with a palm.
Although that person wished to flee, the Northern Ocean Clone’s palm seemed to encompass the heavens and envelop the eight desolaces of the great earth as he would never be able to escape it even if he fled to the ends of the world.
As the palm descended, it was instantly as if a great mountain was pressuring down upon him.
A biting cold light appeared atop his body as a shocking sword-light shot into the sky.
That was, shockingly, the power of a mid-grade Sacred Artifact!
As a Merging Avatar Martial Saint, he wielded a mid-grade Sacred Artifact.
The Northern Ocean Clone’s expression was steely as light flickered on his Precipitous Golden Armour, suppressing that mid-grade Sacred Artifact whose full power could still not be unleashed.
The roiling power of extreme yang erupted on his body as well, golden light illuminating the world all round as it was as if he had transformed into the Sun Star. Here, there actually did indeed exist some of the might of the Extreme Yang Seal.
There was no trace of the Extreme Yang Seal. Yet, the sigil of a blazing sun appeared on his forehead.
This was apparently the source of his blazing power of extreme yang.
He no longer cared about being exposed now as he only hoped to flee from the hands of the Northern Ocean Clone.
Still, despite his great strength, the momentous power of that sigil was still unable to stand against the current Northern Ocean Clone. The gap in their strength was simply just too great.
Light flickered in the Northern Ocean Clone’s palm that seemed able to encompass the heavens and the earth. Facing the obstruction of the sunlight, it just paused slightly before continuing to descend.
Despite his utmost exertions, the other party could only watch on helplessly as he was enveloped by the Northern Ocean Clone’s palm!
As the Northern Ocean Clone clapped this fake straight into the ground with a single palm, the Xie Family Manor and Whale Fishing City did not shudder in the slightest.
His control of power was already intricate to the extreme, even emanating an air of casual ease.
Those inside the manor were instead already feeling a little numb now.
These people were killing one another one after another. Who knew when all this would end?
At this moment, might there suddenly spring up a latest one and clap this one dead as well?
Still, seeing how that third person was unable to take out the Extreme Yang Seal and the sigil that flickered with sunlight on his forehead, everyone gradually understood how things really stood.
This one had been an imposter as well.
Yet, the one who was able to obtain victory-was he real then?
As had been said earlier, was it true that whoever was most powerful was real?
Especially when the latest one had not even personally acted…
Everyone was feeling utterly perplexed now.
But now, as the Northern Ocean Clone retracted his palm, all of them let out startled exclamations.
“What is this?!”
On the ground where the Northern Ocean Clone’s palm had encompassed, that imposter could no longer be seen. Yet, his corpse was not there as well.
There was only a massive demonic beast which was splayed limply there on the brink of death.
This beast was like a deer whilst also a wolf, dragging around the tail of a python behind it.
Of its formerly ferocious aura, only weakness and dispiritedness still remained.
On the head of the beast was clearly a talisman, flickering with golden light.
The light was tough and blazing, clearly the power of extreme yang.
That Whale Breath Sect Elder was taken aback, “…This, this is a Maoliang?”
Seeing the sigil of sunlight flickering on the Maoliang’s forehead, everyone was dazed for a long time before finally regaining their wits, exclaiming, “That youth was actually this Maoliang transformed?”
�
��Well, actually, legends like this were rather prevalent in ancient times.”
Someone rebutted, “Its cultivation base should have been insufficient for it to take human form? I have heard of the Maoliang before. While its intelligence isn’t low, it is not proficient in variations.”
Someone rebutted, “It may not be like this. There are great demons and also lesser demons. Great demons depend on their cultivation base. In the legends, there were also some lesser demons who consumed some spirit grass or herbs beneath unique circumstances and became able to transform into humans as well.”
“From the sigil on its head, it shouldn’t be wrong?”
“I can’t see for sure if it is similar…”
Someone realised, “…I get it now! This mark was left behind by the Extreme Yang Seal! Like a farmer leaving a mark on his livestock as a mark of identity, this Maoliang is either the steed or a spirit beast reared by the actual Solar Luminary Young Master! It transformed into human form and fled, instead masquerading as its master to go around swindling people!”
Someone else asked in puzzlement, “Then his martial arts…were transmitted by the Solar Luminary Young Master in the first place?”
Everyone nodded in understanding, “It seems that it really is like this. The Solar Luminary Young Master has sent someone to clean up after him.”
“No wonder he would say ‘Demonspawn, show your true form!’.”
They all looked at the projected image in mid-air. Yan Zhaoge was still calmly sipping tea in the elegant room. Seeing the beast dealt with, he just nodded slightly, looking wholly unconcerned.

HSSB808: Switching a live person
In the room, Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “Our lack of discipline has resulted in a disturbance for you. Please do not blame us for this.”
Xie Liang and the others hurriedly said, “We do not dare, we do not dare…”
They were still feeling rather dazed now, not knowing how exactly they should speak to Yan Zhaoge.
They saw the Northern Ocean Clone extend a hand and store the dying Maoliang on the ground before him before taking out a jade necklace.
