Breaking the mirror wasn't the only way to kill the demon itself—Shen Minyao knew this. If it was in the past, she wouldn't have a hard time beating this mirror demon into submission by merely emanating her overwhelming presence. Alas, with her current state, she couldn't even withstand the demonic force that compelled the three of them to back away from the mirror demon.

It might have known what their intention was this time, and it would do its best to protect itself. The mirror demon conjured another copy of the three. This time, it was to protect itself from being destroyed by the grim reaper since he currently had the strongest spiritual presence among the three of them.

"Oh, not again," Li Fei'er muttered in annoyance.

It was really hard to fight someone, especially if that someone was sharing the same face as the attacker. She really wasn't planning to beat the shit out of her doppelg?nger, but hey, no sane person would like to beat their own face, right?

It also didn't help that she heard the rumors that meeting her doppelg?nger face to face would lead to her own death.

This time, the three doppelg?ngers looked like they were as agitated as the mirror demon. It wouldn't be easy for them to subdue the copies as these were now focused on eliminating the threat towards the demon than devouring the wandering spirits lured here to be eaten.

"So what's your great plan?" Mu Qing asked Shen Minyao as he pulled out his sword again. He wasn't really looking forward to another spar with his doppelg?nger.

It had never occurred to him that he couldn't be a handful when it came to fighting as he rarely got into one. He was supposed to lead the souls of the dead to the netherworld, not to get involved with demon affairs.

Meeting this demoness surely wasn't just a coincidence. Whether they were fated to meet each other or not, Mu Qing was certain that the demon possessing Shen Minyao's body would eventually leave it someday. Like a dry husk that served its purpose, the demoness would find another host once her human shell met its limit.

Mu Qing glanced at Shen Minyao at the corner of his eye, wondering what kind of demon she was and how she was able to possess a human body with absolute control.

The three of them were being pushed back by the demonic aura coming from the mirror itself, while the spirit orbs continued to roam around the laboratory room, trying to find a way to escape from the mirror demon.

Their cries of despair reached the fox woman's ears, and she couldn't help but appreciate the melodious tune they were making.

Anyway, the faster they could defeat the mirror demon, the better. The fox woman didn't like it whenever other entities tried to deceive her with her host's and Little Jiu's appearance, and while there weren't many mirror demons, they sure knew how to be annoying in Shen Minyao's opinion.

"You'll deal with these doppelg?ngers, while I'll make sure to push back the spirits and break the mirror," Shen Minyao told them before leaping forward, her fan deflecting the sword of the fake grim reaper that attacked her.

With her ability to reinforce the things she was holding, the fox woman was able to strengthen the seemingly ordinary foldable fan in her hand. It would surely have been shattered into pieces at the impact if she hadn't.

Now finally aware of the difference between her and her doppelg?nger, Li Fei'er confidently used her talismans to stop its movements and used the same mantra to exorcise her doppelg?nger.

Ha! The fake Li Fei'er might be able to copy her physical appearance and strength, but that didn't mean it would be able to replicate her spiritual aptitude and powers. Li Fei'er easily subdued her impersonator as it broke into several pieces. With an agonizing scream, it tried to get its hands on Li Fei'er's neck to no avail until it disappeared into nothingness.

Shen Minyao saw what Li Fei'er did and smirked, her eyes brimming with pride. Of course, their Little Jiu wasn't a weakling. There was no way a simple conjured being by a mirror demon would be able to defeat her easily.

Meanwhile, Mu Qing stabbed the fake Shen Minyao in her midsection with his sword, watching the doppelganger disintegrate in front of him. Since it wasn't the real Shen Minyao, he didn't hesitate to stab the unknown entity.

"Move!" He and Li Fei'er heard Shen Minyao yell before a gust of strong spiritual aura pushed back the wandering spirits to make way for her.

The fox woman knew that she only had one chance to consume the energy of the mirror demon to replenish her strength. She had no doubt that the demon lurking back at the hospital was stronger than this mirror demon they were dealing with.

With calculated moves, Shen Minyao forced her way towards the mirror demon, luring it into her trap. Mirror demons were practically useless when it came to close combat and could only rely on the images it conjured to protect itself from looming danger. It would try its best to create distance between the two of them, but the fox woman knew better. historical

No matter how many doppelgangers the demon conjured, the fox woman easily pushed them towards Mu Qing and Li Fei'er's direction. The closer every step took her towards her target, the more agitated the mirror demon became.

She wouldn't be this daring if Mu Qing wasn't with them. Grim reapers and demons like them shouldn't meddle with each other's affairs, but Shen Minyao couldn't help but feel that their encounters might mean more than a coincidence.

Just as she went too close to the mirror, a blinding light suddenly engulfed Shen Minyao, while her two companions witnessed her whole body vanish along with the light.

"NO!!!!!" Li Fei'er's scream resounded within the room.
