Chapter 13: Trapped by Clones
Thump!
The dull sound of exchanging blows echoed in the quiet room.
Lin Shen's strike was filled with anger, and he spared no effort.
Caught off guard, Tian Dian didn't have time to defend himself. He took the full force of the blow and spat out a large mouthful of blood. He flew backward and hit the wall with a bang.
Under the moonlight that shone in through the window, he could see there was a black hole in the shape of a palm on the chest of Tian Dian's shirt. The exposed skin was burnt and bloody, and there was a faint smell of something burning.
Tian Dian's face twisted in pain, but he had time to vent his rage. His eyes widened when he looked at Lin Shen in the doorway. When he saw the other Lin Shen, who had jumped up from the bed, he looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Does he have a twin?
"No, this kid is an orphan and grew up in a welfare institute. He doesn't have any siblings!
"Moreover, even if they're brothers, they can't look so alike. They have the same facial features, build, and temperament. They look like two peas from the same pod!"
Before Tian Dian could figure it out, the Lin Shen in the doorway was already pouncing at him with an expressionless face.
Seeing this, Tian Dian could only suppress his shock and anger. He endured the pain of facing the attack.
Although he was injured by the ambush, he was still a Qi Transformation Stage Level-8 expert. Dealing with a mere Level-5 cultivator was a piece of cake. As soon as they exchanged blows, he gained the upper hand.
The next second, Tian Dian was frozen on the spot when he saw what the other Lin Shen was doing with a sidelong glance.
A clone left Lin Shen's body as a blurry shadow, but it quickly condensed at a visible speed.
In the blink of an eye, another Lin Shen appeared in the room.
"!!!"
Tian Dian was dumbfounded.
"Is that a clone?
"Can this kid be a cultivator master?"
Tian Dian had never come into contact with real cultivator masters before, but he had heard they had all kinds of mysterious abilities. There was no guarantee that they wouldn't have such strange abilities!
However, he immediately denied his speculation.
"This kid can't be a cultivator master!
"Otherwise, he could have ambushed and killed me with a single strike the moment I entered the room. There was no need for so much trouble!
"But if that wasn't the case, what's happening now?"
For a moment, Tian Dian felt his head buzzing, and he was filled with bewilderment. freew ebnovel.com
In his daze, he was almost hit by Lin Shen. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he immediately focused on the battle.
Before long, Clone 1 joined the battle against Tian Dian.
In the blink of an eye, the two clones joined forces and fought fiercely with Tian Dian in the small bedroom.
A few steps away, Lin Shen watched the battle intently as he moved toward the door.
Clone 1 had the Perseverance talent and was extremely resistant to attacks. Because it was a clone, it wasn't afraid of death. It didn't have any intention of defending itself at all and didn't mind getting injured in the battle.
If it was any other time, Tian Dian wouldn't be afraid at all. He was three levels higher and had rich combat experience. He could have killed his opponents without getting injured at all.
However, he was seriously injured now, and his opponent wasn't afraid of death. The battle became quite tough.
What shocked Tian Dian even more was the other Lin Shen.
His Blazing Sun Palm was extraordinarily fierce, and as his palm struck out, waves of heat roiled about, and it was crimson red like fire. Everywhere the palms passed, the air would warp, and it was horrifying!
It was a sign that he had mastered the Blazing Sun Palm!
Tian Dian was extremely shocked.
He had never imagined that an orphan from a welfare institute could reach Mastery in the Blazing Sun Palm at such a young age!
Lin Shen was equally surprised.
The Pure Yang Body could improve the power of a Yang-type cultivation technique by 100%, but this was the first time he had seen the effect in actual combat. The power was beyond his expectations.
The talent could almost raise the palm technique by a whole level.
Lin Shen was still hesitating if he should summon Clone 2 to participate in the battle, but now, he was relieved.
Clone 1 and Clone 3 were enough to deal with this criminal!
Yes, this man was a criminal!
Lin Shen had already figured out what was going on.
Recently, his schedule had always been very regular. He couldn't remember coming into contact with a master at the late stage of the Qi Transformation Stage, let alone becoming enemies.
No matter how hard he thought about it, the only special event happened on the night ten days ago when he encountered the Martial Enforcement Hall's pursuit of a criminal.
This man was most likely the manipulator behind the yellow-scarved warrior. With the Martial Enforcement Hall at his heel, he had used some method to put an important thing into Lin Shen's shoulder bag and waited until tonight to retrieve it.
"What an undeserved calamity…"
Lin Ze couldn't help but grimace.
Why did this happen to him? He had provoked a vicious criminal for nothing on his way home.
If it weren't for his clones, he would have died for no reason tonight!
While Lin Shen was pondering the question, the fight in the bedroom had already reached its climax.
Surrounded by the two ferocious clones, Tian Dian was in an even more dangerous situation.
As time passed, the two clones accumulated some serious injuries, but they also inflicted many injuries on Tian Dian.
The old and new injuries added together, and Tian Dian could feel waves of weakness fill his body.
"No, I can't let this continue. Even if I kill these two clones, I'll be seriously injured and lose my ability to fight. When that happens, I'll be at that kid's mercy!"
Tian Dian glanced at Lin Shen as his head spun.
"That kid is the real one. When I kill him, these two clones will almost certainly disappear!"
Tian Dian was a decisive person and quickly made up his mind. With a flip of his wrist, a steel saber glinted in his palm.
He suddenly let out a low shout, and the moving blade shone a crescent moon. It tore through the air and struck the chests of the two clones almost simultaneously.
Blood splattered, and the two clones were sent flying backward like kites with their strings cut.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tian Dian gathered his remaining strength and pounced at Lin Shen, who had already retreated to the doorway. The steel saber in his hand pressed forward, aiming for Lin Shen's heart.
"Die!"
A sinister and cruel smile appeared on Tian Dian's face.
The next second, the smile on his face froze.
A shadow quickly split out from Lin Shen's body, turning into a solid figure in the blink of an eye and blocking the path between Lin Shen and Tian Dian.
Another "Lin Shen"!
Swoosh!
There was the dull sound of a blade piercing through flesh.
The sharp blade stabbed into "Lin Shen's" heart without any obstruction and was buried in his chest.
Tian Dian didn't look happy at all after hitting the enemy with a single strike. Instead, he looked horrified.
"Damn it!"
Tian Dian was shocked and wanted to pull out his weapon to distance himself from his enemy.
The next moment, "Lin Shen" suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed Tian Dian's wrists tightly.
At the same time,
Tian Dian heard a gust of wind behind him, and the two clones, who had just caught their breath, charged at him with waving palms at the same time!
The fear of death took over him. Tian Dian's expression changed drastically as he opened his mouth to scream.
"Spare…"
He only managed to speak a word before he stopped abruptly.
The palms of the two clones landed on Tian Dian's back and the back of his head at the same time. The blazing and powerful force instantly destroyed his life force!
Tian Dian's eyes bulged, and his throat made a few gurgling sounds. The light in his eyes quickly dissipated, and his body instantly went limp. He was dead!
