Multiple Shadow Clone Technique Shows Its Might!

The air fell deathly silent in an instant.

At that moment, whether it was Lord Bear and Scarlet King or Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, their minds went completely blank.

What had happened?

What exactly had happened?

Yue Guan and Gui Mei felt as though the sky were collapsing.

If they had been standing before Su Chen right now, they would have grabbed him by the shoulders, shaken him fiercely, and screamed hysterically.

What the hell were you thinking?!

We used that move so you could run, not so you could provoke them to death!!!

Under their despairing gazes, the golden and silver light around Lord Bear and Scarlet King rapidly dimmed. Even as they pushed their power to the limit, it was useless.

Crack!!!

The crisp sound of shattering plunged Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo's hearts into the abyss. The two could no longer sustain the Two Extremes Forbidden Domain. Their faces turned waxen as they spat blood and fell helplessly from the sky.

Ignoring the two culprits who had rendered them unable to move, as well as the youth who had fled with a single strike, the two massive beasts fearfully checked their lower bodies.

As everyone knew, no matter how powerful a male was, his lower body was exceedingly vulnerable. The same held true for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Thus, even knowing that such an attack could not possibly break through their defenses, they still instinctively felt fear.

After checking themselves repeatedly and finding nothing wrong, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. What followed was towering fury toward a certain silver-haired brat!!

"Roar! I'll tear you apart with my bare hands!!!"

Amid earthshaking roars, two tyrannical and terrifying auras instantly spread for over a thousand meters. Wherever they passed, humans and soul beasts alike rolled their eyes back and fainted.

At that moment, the entire outer region trembled beneath the overwhelming might of the two ferocious beasts.

That should have drawn all their attention to me, right? Elders, you'd better not let me down.

In the distance, the silver-haired youth wiped the sweat from his forehead. Hearing those roars filled with boundless rage, he nodded in satisfaction.

Yet his expression did not relax in the slightest.

Because he knew that the true test had only just begun.

I don't want to die here so carelessly.

Boom!!!

A distance of several hundred meters could be crossed in an instant by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

Like two speeding locomotives, they surged forward with devastating force, crushing and tearing apart everything in their path!!

"Where's that brat?!!"

Lord Bear snorted streams of hot air from his nostrils, his beastly eyes blood-red. After a brief sweep of the area, he spotted a silver figure racing away to the left.

"Trying to run?"

He grinned viciously and gestured for the Three-Headed Mastiff to cut off the youth's retreat.

Lord Bear did not want this human to die too quickly.

He had to make him experience the utmost despair first!!

However, Scarlet King turned around at the same time and gave him the exact same signal.

Hm?

The two beasts exchanged bewildered looks, then looked in their respective directions, only to find two silver figures racing away in different directions.

No.

There were more than two.

When Lord Bear and Scarlet King spread out their Spiritual Power, they discovered in astonishment—

There were dozens of figures with completely identical auras, fleeing in every direction!

"Wh-what is this?"

Lord Bear and Scarlet King were dumbfounded.

It was not as though they had never seen clone-type techniques meant to confuse enemies, but this was their first time seeing clones whose auras and Soul Power fluctuations were exactly the same.

But—

Boom!

A mountain-sized body flashed into view a hundred meters away. A massive beast claw slashed down, and before the two silver-haired youths could evade, they instantly turned into smoke and vanished.

"Heh heh heh."

Lord Bear licked his sharp fangs and looked toward the other shadows that were still fleeing, revealing a cruel smile.

"The struggle of insects. Do you think this will let you escape? How naive."

In the span of a few breaths, several more figures were crushed by bear paws or bitten apart by canine fangs, turning into smoke and disappearing.

"Brat, you'll experience something even more terrifying than death!!"

Amid savage laughter, Su Chen's Shadow Clones vanished one after another.

Yet in some corner they either failed to notice or simply did not care about, a wooden stake was strangely rolling deeper into the forest, twitching as it went.

"Old Ghost, what do we do?"

At the edge of the devastated battlefield, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo leaned against each other in sorry states. Their auras were weak, their bodies battered and tattered, and none of their former dignified bearing remained.

"That child... that child did it for us."

Yue Guan's nose stung as he looked helplessly at Gui Mei.

The latter remained silent.

The moment the two ferocious beasts had disregarded them entirely in their pursuit of Su Chen, the two had understood his intention.

But that only made their hearts feel heavier.

"No. I have to save him."

After a moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo wiped his eyes and stood up. His pale face was filled with determination.

"That child cannot die. He is His Holiness the Pope's hope, Spirit Hall's future."

Ghost Douluo nodded, slowly clenching his fists.

"Old Ghost, find a way to deliver the news to His Holiness the Pope first, then come meet up with me."

Yue Guan patted his old friend on the shoulder and smiled freely.

"If that child dies, we..."

"Won't have the face to keep living either, will we?"

As for whether Su Chen could hold on until reinforcements arrived, neither of them doubted it or even considered the question.

They believed that the youth could create a miracle.

Just as he had the previous times.

Bang!

When the last Shadow Clone turned into smoke within Scarlet King's jaws, the expressions of the two ferocious beasts finally darkened.

There was no real body.

Although every one of those clones had the same aura, Soul Power fluctuations, and even facial expressions as that brat, there was no doubt that they were all fake.

"Damn it!!"

Lord Bear roared and smashed a fist into the ground. The terrifying shockwave instantly obliterated everything within a hundred-meter radius!

"Don't worry. He can't escape."

Scarlet King's six eyes flickered as his immense Spiritual Power firmly locked down the entire area.

"I refuse to believe he can stay inside this forest forever!"

Within a patch of bushes, the rolling wooden stake finally came to a stop, then unexpectedly drew in a cold breath in a very humanlike manner.

"Hiss—this feeling really is awful."

It was none other than Su Chen.

When clones created by the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique disappeared, all of their sensations were transmitted back to the original body. The advantage was that it could be used to multiply learning and training efficiency; the drawback was situations like this.

In just a few seconds, Su Chen experienced more than a dozen different ways of dying beneath bear claws and mastiff jaws.

That was absolutely not a pleasant experience. If it had been someone with weak mental fortitude, they would likely have fainted long ago.

Fortunately, the effect was outstanding.

This A-rank Forbidden Jutsu from the Ninja World had bought Su Chen considerable time even against two ferocious beasts, allowing him to use the equally overpowered Transformation Technique to leave the battlefield.

However, the current situation had not improved much.

Lord Bear and Scarlet King certainly would not stay long. After all, the Silver Dragon King, Co-Lord of Soul Beasts, was still severely injured and undoubtedly had no intention of exposing herself to the world of soul masters so early.

As long as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo moved quickly enough to bring more reinforcements into the Great Forest, no matter how unwilling they were, the two beasts would be recalled to the Land of Great Evil.

Given Ghost Douluo's speed, it would not take more than three days.

But the most fatal issue was that Su Chen's Chakra was nearly depleted. He was almost unable to maintain the Transformation Technique.

The moment the Transformation Technique failed, Su Chen would immediately be locked onto by the two ferocious beasts.

Can I only keep moving deeper?

Fleeing outward was certain death, but continuing inward clearly would not lead to any better outcome.

A human whose Soul Power had run dry would not need to imagine what fate awaited him in the depths of the Great Forest.

Forget it. I'll keep going for now—hm?

The youth, who had decided to press onward, froze slightly.

Through the Byakugan, he saw an incomparably massive source of energy beneath the ground not far away.
