"Damn it!" One of them watched his companion's corpse plummet downward, then roared and charged forward. Raising the weapon in his hand, he thrust it at Ronglin.
"Soul Stab!" the man bellowed, giving his move an imposing name. His figure split into three in midair, spinning apart before stabbing toward Ronglin simultaneously from three different directions.
The moment Ronglin activated his Observation Haki, he immediately sensed the real body among the three figures. He tightened his grip on Jazz and lightly stepped backward in midair. The two phantom clones stabbed at him together and missed, while the third, solid body came straight for his face.
"Arc Wall!"
With a flip of one hand, Ronglin held his palm toward the third incoming figure. A burst of Haki erupted outward in a ringing wave, surging toward the approaching phantom. The powerful airflow abruptly slowed all the attacks before rebounding them all.
"Urgh!" The man felt a violent gust slam into his face, followed by a hammer-like blow to his chest. A savage, explosive pain burst through him. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward after Ronglin's strike hit him squarely in the chest.
Ronglin gave him no chance to catch his breath. His figure flickered rapidly, turning into a streak of gray light as he closed in. The man was horrified, gritting his teeth as he desperately tried to resist while flying backward.
But Ronglin suddenly struck. A beam of white light shot from his hand, piercing straight through the man's chest and bursting out through his back.
A spray of blood exploded in midair. The man roared, his eyes wide with rage and unwillingness as he fell from the sky. Then his eyes dimmed, gradually losing their light.
Only moments had passed since the battle began,
