Clone and Soul Link

Xiao He's physique was too strong at this moment. Even if he moved his finger casually, these people would be crippled or killed. It was too difficult to control his strength, so he raised his hand towards the people in front of him and released the kinetic energy in a scattering manner. A strong shock wave burst out from Xiao He's hand, and the dozen or so people in front of him were blasted backward more than half a meter before falling to the ground.

But a roar came from behind, and a man holding a bayonet stabbed Xiao He hard.

The knife stopped the moment it touched Xiao He; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pierce it even an inch. Xiao He turned to look at the man, who was also looking at him, and nervously swallowed.

Xiao He reached out and placed his hand on the man's chest, then gave him a gentle push. The man, like a piece of paper blown by the wind, crashed into a companion behind him, bounced off, and then collided with a car before rolling half a circle and coming to a stop. Xiao He immediately frowned. "Sigh, this strength is really hard to control... Kryptonian is really not easy."

The people closest to him roared furiously and fired at him relentlessly. Bullets, their kinetic energy absorbed, fell around Xiao He and were then buried by the yellow sand.

Immediately, someone frantically fired a grenade launcher at Xiao He from a distance of four meters away.

The flames spread, but were quickly contained within Xiao He and then rapidly absorbed.

At this point, the people on the scene completely lost their fighting spirit. They all turned around, got into their cars, and prepared to flee, ignoring their injured companions.

Xiao He roared at them impatiently, "Take these people off with you! What, are you expecting me to clean them up for you?!"

One of the cars seemed to understand; it turned around halfway through the journey, picked up its injured companion, and sped away.

Xiao He returned to the car, looked at the car where Liang Bin was, and asked, "Is everyone alright?"

"It's alright... It's really reliable, truly worthy of being Yinglong!" Liang Bin said excitedly.

"If there's nothing else, let's continue on our way and return to the embassy as quickly as possible to report back," Xiao He replied.

After speaking, Xiao He returned to the car in front and greeted Cui Man, Ye Wanqing, and An Xiuru.

"Pretty efficient, not bad." Cui Man nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go, let's keep going."

The car had barely started moving when Cui Man reminded her, "Don't let your guard down, the mission has only just begun."

"I know." Xiao He nodded, put his arm around Ye Wanqing's shoulder, and laughed, "With my Xiaoqing here, I'm invincible."

However, after advancing for only ten minutes or so, the second wave of enemies arrived.

This time, the enemy was few in number, consisting of only one Helicopter, but the enemy was a Mutant.

The reason they could immediately tell the other person was Mutant was because the person jumped off the Helicopter before it even descended, landing with a loud "boom!" right in front of them, making a "heroic entrance."

"His legs must be numb..." Xiao He thought to himself, because the man had been squatting on the ground for a while after landing and hadn't gotten up.

The two vehicles were forced to stop again. As before, the others stayed by the vehicles to protect the people inside, while Xiao He went forward to deal with the enemies.

Xiao He sized up the man in front of him. He was about 1.85 meters tall, not particularly muscular, but quite tall and slender. His beard was neatly trimmed. He wore a bulletproof vest, a black T-shirt, camouflage pants, and military boots. He was fully armed with grenades, guns, and a military knife, as if he was afraid people wouldn't know he was a special forces soldier.

Compared to people from the Middle East, he looked more like a Caucasian.

"What kind of Superpower does this guy have?" Xiao He wondered to himself. What he was certain of was that his physique should be at least LV2.

After dropping the man off, the Helicopter left the scene, seemingly assuming the man could complete the mission alone.

"They're really arrogant, aren't they?" Xiao He frowned and muttered to himself. Cui Man replied in the earpiece, "That's normal. The more chaotic a country is, the less information it receives. They've cut off contact with the outside world and have no idea about the existence of 'Yinglong.' But you still need to be careful; the opponent might be very strong."

"Hmm." Xiao He responded and charged towards the other party first.

At this moment, the white man suddenly convulsed as if he had been electrocuted, startling Xiao He. Immediately afterwards, an exact Clone of the white man suddenly split off from his body...

"Wow--!" Xiao He immediately raised his eyebrows. "This is fucking possible!?"

He had actually imagined many Superpower, but he never thought that the Superpower to "create Clone" was actually possible!

Xiao He's interest was piqued: How does this Superpower work? Does Clone weaken the main body? Can the main body see the Clone's images like in a game? Or can consciousness jump between each Clone? Damn, I really want to capture him and study him thoroughly...

"Johnny, kill the people in that car," the main body commanded the Clone.

"Okay, Johnny," the Clone replied, then took the assault rifle off his back and rushed toward the car.

This guy's name is Johnny... Xiao He raised an eyebrow: It seems he needs to give orders to his Clone before he will act.

Although Xiao He was eager to study the man thoroughly, he still needed to capture him. Therefore, Xiao He accelerated towards Johnny, but at that moment, Johnny's body convulsed again; this time, he split into three Clones...

"This ability is so interesting..." Xiao He thought to himself with a bit of excitement.

But the main body took a grenade from its chest and threw it at Xiao He. Xiao He raised his hand to protect his head. The grenade exploded about a meter in front of him, and shrapnel pierced Xiao He's body, falling to the ground after absorbing kinetic energy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Johnny had already given orders to his Clone.

"You two Johnny, together with that other Johnny, take care of the people in those two cars," Johnny ordered his two Clones, then turned to the third Clone and pointed at Xiao He: "You, come with me and take care of this guy."

The Clone began to act, and Johnny's main body also raised his gun and launched an attack on Xiao He.

His other two Clone bypassed Xiao He and rushed towards the car, while the remaining one raised his gun and attacked Xiao He.

"Tsk, are you trying to do multiple things at once?" Xiao He said irritably, turning his head to deal with the Clone.

But then Yue Feng suddenly got out of the car and stretched his arms and legs. "Finally, I can move around a bit."

The moment Yue Feng opened the car door, Johnny's Clone fired a grenade. The shell exploded in Yue Feng's chest, but Yue Feng simply tensed up and took the hit head-on. The loud explosion rang out, but he remained calm and didn't retreat an inch.

"Hey, you two, keep an eye on the guy in the car." Yue Feng ordered Qin Weize and Han Tianyu inside the car, then pounced on Johnny's Clone in front of him, punching him straight in the face.

However, although Yue Feng's Superpower was very strong, he had not received any training and was an amateur in combat. Johnny's Clone ducked and dodged, then slid around to Yue Feng's back, and then got up and delivered a side kick to Yue Feng's back.

"Uh!" Yue Feng grunted and flew forward for more than two meters before stopping. Then Johnny took this opportunity to aim at the car and fired a burst of fire. Han Tianyu got out of the car and quickly raised his hand to write the word "wall", blocking the bullets hitting the Liang Bin family behind the car, but at this time one of the shots hit Qin Weize in the driver's seat in front.

The bullet, by sheer chance, struck Qin Weize squarely in the head.

Qin Weize was wearing a mask this time, which provided some bulletproof protection. In addition, Qin Weize was already at LV2 level, so this shot wouldn't be fatal, but the impact still made him groan and pass out.

Not far away, Xiao He lost his "Kinetic Energy Absorption" Superpower because Qin Weize lost consciousness. The kinetic energy he had accumulated exploded inside his body.

A terrifying pressure surged through his body, causing Xiao He to involuntarily tense up, and then he let out a "burp."

With Yue Feng's high-intensity physique, even if the previously accumulated kinetic energy were to erupt, it would only be a burp.

However, if Yue Feng is also dealt with by the Clone, then he will have no Trigger.

Thinking of this, Xiao He decided to turn around and deal with those Clone first.

Without the "Kinetic Energy Absorption" Superpower, attacks like grenades and bullets would hit his body.

Just then, a grenade rolled right in front of him and exploded with a bang. Fragments of the grenade pierced Xiao He's body. Although it didn't hurt, he felt as if a large amount of static electricity had been generated on his body, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Johnny's main body stepped forward and punched Xiao He in the face, while his Clone followed up with a knee strike to Xiao He's abdomen. Xiao He thrust his chest forward, knocking the two back, and was immediately annoyed: he turned his head and forgot which one was the main body and which one was the Clone.

"Never mind, hit me however you want!" Xiao He threw a straight punch with his backhand.

The punch was clearly aimed at the main body, but Johnny's Clone took the hit.

The sound of bones shattering rang out, and the Clone flew backward before turning into black smoke and dissipating in mid-air.

Johnny's true form seized the opportunity to close the distance with a sliding tackle, then kicked Xiao He in the side of his knee.

Johnny's strength was probably around LV3, and his kick only managed to make Xiao He stagger a step. However, Johnny immediately got up, twitched, created another Clone, and simply issued a command, "Johnny, kill him!" before launching an attack on Xiao He together with his Clone.

Xiao He realized that this enemy was not so easy to deal with. This guy was too proficient in his own Superpower, and Johnny himself was a highly trained special forces soldier. The combination of these two factors made him particularly troublesome.

Xiao He had to deal with this guy's Clone before Yue Feng was defeated.

Johnny's Clone were attacking the two vehicles, but they posed no immediate threat. An Xiuru had used her abilities to reinforce the vehicles to a hardness far exceeding that of tank armor, making it impossible for Johnny's weapons and strength to penetrate their outer shells.

On the other side, Han Tianyu also protected Liang Bin's family with four "walls".

Xiao He's mind was a bit confused at the moment, because there were five Johnny on the scene, and once the fight started, he couldn't tell who was the real Johnny and who was the Clone, which made him a little irritable.

"Sister Man, are we going to support Yinglong?" Han Tianyu asked hesitantly.

"No need, just focus on your own tasks," Cui Man replied. "It's also good that Yinglong gets a chance to handle this situation. He'll be more experienced next time he encounters a chaotic battle like this. People grow into heroes gradually."

"Received." Han Tianyu nodded and kept writing the word "bi" in mid-air to respond to Johnny's clone's attack.

Xiao He, on the other hand, simply didn't care which was the Clone and which was the real body. He raised his arms to protect his face and punched Johnny in the face. Johnny quickly dodged, but Xiao He was just feinting. He stopped halfway with his fist and instead delivered a low kick to Johnny's knee.

The powerful blow sent Johnny flying into the air, followed by another chop from Xiao He, splitting Johnny's body in two. Johnny then turned into black smoke and dissipated.

But another Johnny seized the opportunity with a small leap, then delivered a flying knee strike to Xiao He's chest.

"Got you, huh!" Xiao He said irritably, punching Johnny on the head.

However, Johnny also turned into black smoke and disappeared!

Xiao He couldn't help but curse, and glared at the other three Johnny behind him. "Who is the real one here?!"

One of Johnny's twitched, and two Clone split off from his body.

Xiao He lunged at Johnny's main body, but another clone rushed up and blocked him.

Xiao He punched the Clone into smoke, but when he looked up, he confused the four Johnny in front of him again.

"What a damn annoying ability!" Xiao He said impatiently. But then an angelic voice saved him. "Old Xiao, I've found out his identity. Change his name immediately."

Then, Xiao He felt himself triggering a strange power. He raised his hand towards Johnny in front of him, and a golden light instantly wrapped around him. However, after being wrapped around, Johnny's movements were not restricted in any way. He could still move as he pleased. The golden light simply surrounded Johnny like a chain.

Xiao He stared at the rope of light in his hand, which resembled a "Lasso of Truth," for a moment, then threw a lasso at another Johnny. Similarly, a circle of golden chains appeared around this Johnny, but at this moment, both Johnny who were chained were suddenly slammed into the face by a golden chain.

Looking at the chains, Xiao He smiled maliciously, "I think I understand..."

Then Xiao He punched the Johnny who was trapped. Although the punch landed on the Johnny in front of Xiao He, the other Johnny who was connected to Johnny also leaned back as if he had been punched as well. The two of them turned into black smoke.

Xiao He grinned. "Hehe, just as I thought."

That's right, the Superpower that Johnny triggered for Xiao He is "Soul Link." As long as one enemy is attacked, all the linked enemies will be damaged! It's practically the nemesis of the "Clone" Superpower!

"Interesting..." Xiao He looked at the remaining three Johnny in front of him with ill intent and laughed.

Johnny seemed to realize that Xiao He's Superpower was a counter to his own, so he quickly split into two Clones, but something went wrong just as he was giving the order.

"Johnny, cover me!" Johnny gave the order to his Clone, but his Clone just stood there, stunned.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Johnny asked, somewhat annoyed. "Get moving, you idiot!"

But his Clone remained standing still, ignoring him completely.

Xiao He was stunned for a long time before he understood what had happened.

Johnny is now actually called "Lin Tiannan," though he doesn't realize it himself. His name has changed, so when he uses "Johnny" to command his Clone, the Clone won't obey. At this point, he should say, "Tiannan, cover me!"

Thinking of this, Xiao He couldn't help but chuckle: He hadn't expected that Wanqing was the one who truly restrained this guy...

In this way, Johnny's Superpower was effectively rendered useless. Even without Xiao He's "Soul Link" Superpower, dealing with this guy would be a piece of cake. This made Xiao He slightly dissatisfied: it felt like a promising start but a disappointing finish.

However, his lovely girlfriend stole the spotlight, so there was nothing he could do about it.

Xiao He raised his hand towards Johnny in front of him. The Soul Chains flew at an extremely fast speed, and Johnny couldn't react at all. His Clone was a little "dumber" than the real Johnny and didn't have the awareness to dodge the Soul Chains. So, all the Johnny on the scene were quickly caught by Xiao He's Soul Chains and formed Soul Link.

"Darling, don't kill him, take him away." Cui Man suddenly replied in the earpiece at this moment.

"Is this alright?" Xiao He asked, somewhat surprised. "Isn't there international law or something? We can't enforce the law across borders, can we?"

"Let's arrest him first," Cui Man laughed. "We can just make up some excuse. For example, he secretly followed our flight to China to deal with us, and then we caught him. We can always find a reason. We can't just waste such an interesting ability."

Xiao He clenched his fist and smiled, "Understood..."

Johnny knew he was in a bad situation, so he turned and ran, partly to see if creating distance could break the "Soul Chains," and partly to try to escape.

But he forgot that he was now bound by Xiao He's Soul Chains, and his Clone was standing still, ignoring his commands, so he was essentially a target for Xiao He.

"Give it a try." Xiao He walked up to one of Johnny's standing Clone and poked it in the stomach with his index finger.

The Clone was bent over by the powerful force, while Johnny's real body, who was running in the distance, suddenly groaned and fell to the ground, clutching his Stomachache and writhing in pain.

"Oh--?! Interesting." Xiao He smiled maliciously and poked the Clone in front of him a couple more times.

"No... no! Stop!" Johnny's real body was writhing on the ground in pain, pleading desperately.

"Old Xiao, stop playing around! We need to rush back to celebrate Christmas Eve with Old Xie!" Ye Wanqing scolded impatiently.

"Oh!" Xiao He snapped out of his daze and punched Johnny's Clone on the head.

Johnny, who was not far away, shuddered and then lay motionless on the ground.
