Ambush

David had been waiting for this opportunity. To destroy a level-five Temple Knight's energy clone, the key was not how to break through its defenses, but its speed.

The survival ability of a level-five Temple Knight's energy clone was even stronger than that of the original body, because the energy clone possessed an unparalleled advantage in speed.

An energy clone was almost massless, composed of level-five bloodline power and spiritual energy. Driven by level-five bloodline power, the force it produced was not as formidable as that of a level-five Temple Knight's physical body, but it still met the minimum standard for a level-five Temple Knight.

Some veteran level-five Temple Knights' energy clones had accumulated strength over countless years, and the force driven by their level-five bloodline power could rival that of an ordinary level-five Temple Knight's physical body.

Possessing level-five strength without the mass of a level-five Temple Knight's physical body allowed an energy clone driven by level-five power to achieve Extreme Speed.

The problem David faced in trying to kill Lord Marcus's energy clone was how to make it lose its speed advantage.

From the very beginning of his setup, David had never intended to rely on those attacks to destroy Lord Marcus's energy clone.

What he had done was make Lord Marcus's energy clone slow down. When the energy clone was knocked backward by the energy beam of the Starry Sky Flying Boat, his goal had been achieved.

Fully armed, David appeared behind Lord Marcus's energy clone just as the latter was retreating toward him.

Level-five knight armor and a level-five light longsword—this was practically the standard peak equipment of God's Great World, capable of harming level-five beings.

With master-level Knight Inheritance Swordsmanship controlling the level-five light longsword, David's blade became a pale golden streak as it stabbed
