When Neither Side Moves, No One Moves
Rumble!!
Russell and his clone clashed with the Cloud -Cloud Dispelling Palm, neither able to gain the upper hand. They both unleashed their inner energy and used the Wind God Leg to fight speed with speed, resulting in another evenly matched contest.
The two fought as they moved, their overlapping shadows flickering in and out of focus, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the edge of the stone wall. With the unparalleled lightness skill of the Wind God Leg as their companion, they traversed the vertical slope as if it were flat ground, and the whistling wind from their palms instantly transformed into a sky full of frost.
Using the frost as cover, the clone appeared beside Russell without anyone noticing. He threw a punch, and the cold air raged, rolling out in all directions.
Heavenly Frost Fist, Third Form: Frost Binds in the Mid-Sky!
Russell seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, or perhaps he deliberately created an opening, waiting for the clone to come to him, before turning around and pointing out a series of finger strikes.
Three Parts Divine Finger - Ten Thousand Urgencies!
It integrates the three arts of fist, palm, and leg into one, possessing three major characteristics: endurance and speed, fierceness and etherealness, and chilling killing intent, giving rise to the Three Parts Return to One Qi, which amplifies its power infinitely. Countless finger shadows fly across the sky, shooting down from all directions, covering the clone layer by layer without leaving any gaps.
"I've already told you, I know what you're thinking."
The clone let out a strange laugh. Russell knew that it had sneaked up behind him to launch a sneak attack, and he also knew that this was a flaw that Russell had deliberately created to lure him into a trap.
Three Parts Divine Finger - Ten Thousand Urgencies!
The clone retaliated with the same deadly move, fierce and ruthless, blooming like a storm in front of it.
Rumble—
With a deafening explosion, the collision's center churned violently, sending countless finger shadows flying backwards and scattering like raindrops, piercing the air and emitting a whooshing, resonant sound.
Russell froze, a thousand thoughts flashing through his mind as he considered what his next move should be.
"Among the three ultimate techniques—fist, palm, and leg —the Heavenly Frost Fist is the most powerful and resilient, the core of the three. If he were to make a move, he would definitely choose the Heavenly Frost Fist first. Therefore, my next move should be the Wind God Leg, which counters the Heavenly Frost Fist, but..."
"His thinking is the same as mine; he'll definitely guess I'll use the Wind God Leg, so he'll use the Cloud Dispelling Palm Wind God Leg to counter it. Therefore, my next move must be the Heavenly Frost Fist to gain the upper hand. But..."
"He'll think the same thing I'm thinking, so the Heavenly Frost Fist is absolutely out of the question; the Wind God Leg is the most reliable option. But..."
"If I do the opposite, he will think of that too, so..."
What should we do?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Without thinking twice, Russell suddenly unleashed a Heavenly Frost Fist.
Heavenly Frost Fist, Tenth Form: Proud Snow Lingering Frost!
Thick, frozen air surged out like a floodgate being opened, instantly spreading and covering the surrounding area with frost, its power resembling a sudden eruption of an ice-colored volcano.
Almost simultaneously, the clone also unleashed the Heavenly Frost Fist - Proud Snow Lingering Frost. In other words, despite their combined efforts and considerable mental exertion, the two ultimately arrived at the same conclusion.
The frost collided, coalescing into an ice peak. With a crisp sound, the massive iceberg cracked open, shattering like a mirror. The surging energy ripped through the air, slamming into the two stunned figures.
Russell coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell onto the bronze tree branch, wincing in pain. He thought to himself that this was indeed his clone, wise beyond his years, resourceful, perceptive, and quick-witted. Besides his looks, temperament, and knowledge, his intelligence and vision were also top-notch. His desperate plan to turn the tide had been cracked.
On the other side, the clone smashed through the rock wall and collapsed in the ruins, thinking to himself that it was indeed worthy of the original. It was insightful, perceptive, quick-witted, and sharp-minded. Its cunning and wisdom were exactly the same as his own. His desperate plan to turn the tide was seen through the moment it was used.
The two stood up and faced each other, neither moving an inch, their gazes meeting in silent admiration. How could there be such an extraordinary man in the world!
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past Russell from behind, interrupting his reverie of the stunning beauty. Turning around, he saw that it was Duan Xinlan, who had rammed into him with a ball. The mature woman was flying through the air, coughing up blood; anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was accelerating!
Unable to catch the flying projectile, Russell silently stepped aside, causing Duan Xinlan thud.
"You..."
Duan Xinlan wanted to ask Russell why he didn't catch her, but her blood surged and she opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of hot blood.
The scene was extremely familiar. Russell knew she was thick-skinned and wouldn't be able to stop vomiting no matter how much she vomited, so he simply ignored it. "What's going on? Even if Guan Yin has lost her fighting ability, the five of you shouldn't be able to beat a little girl, right?"
Duan Xinlan adjusted her internal energy slightly, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood before her complexion improved. "It's not 5 against 1 anymore. The Little Lori can just start cheating whenever she wants. Now it's 5 against 5!"
"5 against 5, and she can even split herself in two?"
Russell turned around and saw that it really was cheating. The Little Lori transformed into Geed Ultraman and unleashed her power, creating four completely different clones as if summoning someone. Each clone had a cool look and was extremely powerful.
However, although the five Geed Ultraman were incredibly powerful, overwhelming the girls and only managing to avoid immediate death thanks to Ying Yingying's magical shield, one person stole the show, becoming even more eye-catching than Geed Ultraman.
Kang Xi!
Russell saw it clearly: she stood on the Flying Carpet, her continuous gunshots sweeping across the room, perfectly dodging Geed and hitting nothing but air.
The five Geeds ignored Kang Xi, trusting her completely, and joined forces to attack the magic shield, causing the Flying Carpet to bounce violently.
When Kang Xi landed, she attempted to flip in mid-air, trying to land in a stylish manner, but she lost her footing, flipped half a circle more than usual, and finally landed face down.
She instinctively released the spear to protect her flower-like face, but the spear spun twice in mid-air before firmly embedding itself in her thigh.
"Whoa! The main artery! Blood is gushing from the main artery!!"
"What is she doing? Is she playing dumb or betraying her teammates?" Russell was speechless. He hadn't thought this girl was a bit slow before, but now she was acting like a husky.
"Her luck was affected by the Bronze Divine Tree, and she almost killed the vice-captain, Shaoxin, Xiaoyin, and me just now."
"I see!" Russell nodded to himself. He wanted to say that the spearmen's luck was not affected and that was about it, but he decided not to make a fuss about it.
"Hey, how long are you going to keep babbling on? Hurry up and attack. Don't you still have a lot of tricks up your sleeve?" The clone floated, seemingly ignoring gravity, and landed ten meters in front of Russell.
Duan Xinlan's eyes immediately lit up. "Jason, so this is what you really look like. Although you're not as handsome as I imagined, you still..."
"No, he's not me!" Russell shook his head decisively, refusing to admit it no matter what.
"Impossible, you two use the same moves, and..."
"If I said it's not true, then it's not true!"
Russell, determined to kill the clone and fearing it might reveal its identity, tucked Duan Xinlan under his arm and used his Wind God Leg technique to dash towards the Flying Carpet.
"Fake goods? I do have many tricks up my sleeve. If you dare, come and try me."
"Why wouldn't I dare? I know all the moves you know..." The clone's lips curled up, its figure ethereal, and it quickly followed.
