But the person before them had not mastered his clones particularly well and could only produce four of them.
But after drinking the potion, the man suddenly became gloomy, his aura growing heavier. Then he looked at Wu Yang Jin with an excited yet jealous gaze.
Although he seemed to have become one person instead of four, he had become even more dangerous.
"Seriously..."
That was Wu Yang Jin's assessment. He could not help thinking, Why did a character like this have to exist in a book? Did that even make sense?
At the same time, the man looked at Gu Yue with an inexplicably chilling gaze that made her feel uncomfortable and disgusted...
"Hiss..." Gu Yue suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Since she was standing close by, she instinctively grabbed Wu Yang Jin's clothes, her fingers brushing against his skin.
Yet in that instant, she actually sensed a familiar feeling. It felt like Na'er's presence, but not entirely.
For a moment, she felt as though Na'er were here, but it quickly faded...
"Yang Jin! Watch out!" Gu Yue shouted.
The man suddenly shot toward Wu Yang Jin.
"What?!"
Because he had been distracted just now, Wu Yang Jin nearly failed to react. Still, he managed to raise Emperor's Palm: Grand Cold Without Snow in time to block the attack.
Yet he was also sent staggering backward.
The man sneered at Wu Yang Jin...
"Hahaha! Keep going, then! Keep going!"
His palm had been injured, but with the Snow Empress and Ice Empress present, it was not a serious problem. He hurriedly used the Ice Empress's First Soul Skill and Second Soul Skill to protect himself.
"Keep going! Once I finish you off, I'll finish her off too! No... I'll let her finish it, but she won't get to live properly afterward!"
Wu Yang Jin had already been somewhat suppressed. Everyone in the Sea of Consciousness wanted to attach themselves to him, but their own energy consumption was too great.
However, upon hearing the man's words, he thought of Na'er...
"Big Brother, you'll always protect Na'er, right?"
"Of course. I'll never let Na'er get hurt!"
"Mhm! Then Big Brother has to protect Na'er forever. Na'er likes Big Brother the most!"
"Likes... Big Brother the most!" (A little cringe or rushed, because if this part went on any longer, the plot might drag.)
The laughing man suddenly sensed that something was wrong. Just as he was about to pull back, Wu Yang Jin's entire body turned icy cold, releasing a wave of extreme frost that forced the man back.
Then, at a speed too fast to react to, he appeared before the man. His left eye glowed gold, while his right eye shone blackish-red.
"Th-This is!" the man cried in shock.
Wu Yang Jin's arms suddenly underwent Dragon Claw Attachment. One claw was gold, the other blackish-red, and they struck the man from both sides, instantly sending him flying. (Some of you might think that bystanders would suffer too much damage in a fight like this, right? Well, since this is my first time writing, please forgive me. I'll pay more attention to the environment in the future.)
Gu Yue watched the man fly backward, then looked toward Wu Yang Jin. The dragon claws had already vanished, and Wu Yang Jin had returned to normal. Gu Yue sensed that aura, but she had not seen its true form.
She hurried over to Wu Yang Jin and supported him.
"Wu Yang Jin, are you alright?" Gu Yue asked anxiously.
"I'm... pfft... I'm fine," Wu Yang Jin said.
But the man suddenly got back to his feet, as though he had realized something.
"I understand! I understand now! You... this boy absolutely cannot be allowed to return to Eastsea City!"
As he spoke, he seemed to gather the last of his strength and charged at Wu Yang Jin...
"You've gone too far!" Gu Yue suddenly snapped. (Again, if anyone finds this awkward or strange, please forgive me. This is my first time writing, and I'll improve in the future. Sorry.)
Gu Yue suddenly used the earth element to strike the man. He did his best to swat it aside, but he was still injured. Then, amid the dust kicked up by the earth element, she used the fire element to attack him.
The man immediately slowed down, but as though possessed, he still charged toward Wu Yang Jin and Gu Yue.
"Gu Yue, try it..."
Gu Yue seemed to understand something. She looked at Wu Yang Jin, then clasped his hand. At the same time, both their eyes turned icy blue.
In an instant, it was as though the world had frozen over. The man could no longer move, yet he desperately wanted to advance because he knew he had to accomplish this.
Gu Yue tightly held Wu Yang Jin's hand, then activated the ice element once more, forming ice arrows that shot toward the man.
Wu Yang Jin, meanwhile, activated the Snow Enchantress's second soul skill, Emperor's Chill Heaven: Snow Dance of Dazzling Yang. It was a domain-type ability with formidable power, strengthening allies' ice-attribute abilities while afflicting opponents with negative effects and suppressing the enemy's ice-attribute Martial Souls and Soul Skills to a certain extent.
It enhanced the damage of Gu Yue's ice arrows and her Soul Skills, and the ice arrows instantly shot forth.
With their extreme frost power, the two held hands as their interwoven energies erupted and fused. The ice arrows unexpectedly formed a circle, and a massive ice sword condensed in the middle before they all shot toward the crazed man together.
As the man looked at the incoming attack, he suddenly felt...
"Ah... hahaha!" the man laughed once more.
With a bang, the attack struck the man completely. The impact sent him flying and inflicted considerable damage, but it did not kill him.
The two knew it would be best not to kill him and to leave him for the police or the Federation to handle. It was not as though they could not kill an Evil Soul Master like him, but they were still young.
Although the man was covered in injuries, after being frozen, he stood rooted to the spot like an ice sculpture.
(Still, this train's quality was really good, and the passengers were incredibly lucky!)
At this point, the battle was over... and they had also prevented a train hijacking.
"Wu Yang Jin, are you alright? Come over here and sit down."
Gu Yue helped Wu Yang Jin to a seat, then used elemental power to treat some of his injuries. She also applied the potions and ointments she had prepared beforehand to the... uh, the places that needed—or rather, could be—treated.
Of course, whether it was the police or anyone else, they always arrived only after everything was over. Not long afterward, Gu Yue had Wu Yang Jin lie on her lap as she watched over him.
Looking at him and recalling what had happened just now, combined with the abilities he had displayed and that familiar sensation from their brief touch, she could not shake the feeling that he seemed familiar.
However, before she could continue speculating, the people from Eastsea City responsible for handling such incidents arrived.
Quite a few of them had come. After all, the disturbance here had been severe, and Evil Soul Masters were usually behind incidents like this, so they had no choice but to bring more people.
But when they arrived, they discovered that the criminal on the train had already been frozen in place. They then found Wu Yang Jin and Gu Yue.
Before they could even begin questioning them, Gu Yue explained everything clearly. After all... (Would you dare not listen to what the Silver Dragon King said?)
Fortunately, no one had died. The kidnapped children had also been rescued, though some people had still been injured, naturally from being caught up in the battle.
Still, the incident had finally been resolved.
