On the battlefield, as eight more Shi Fengs appeared hovering in the air, the entire arena fell deathly silent.
"Clones?!"
"What the hell — that's even possible?"
The crowd stared at the nine Shi Fengs in the air, their shock beyond words.
If anyone else had used clones, they wouldn't have thought much of it. But this was someone who could go toe-to-toe with Illusion Myth's seven true fourth-tier powerhouses. And now he'd split into eight more clones…
How could anyone believe this?
Compared to the spectators, Lina and her group, facing nine Shi Fengs, had gone deathly pale, their hearts sinking to the bottom of their stomachs. They had been going all out just to deal with one Shi Feng. Now, with eight more — even if each clone's stats were considerably lower — it would still be more than enough to overwhelm them.
"Now, let's start the second round!" Shi Feng glanced at Lina and her group with a faint smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the eight clones charged toward Lina and her companions, their speed nearly matching that of the real Shi Feng.
"Just clones? Did you really think you could scare me?"
Baosha watched the incoming clones, thrusting his dagger forward as it instantly transformed into over a dozen serpentine shadows that lunged at the clones.
Advanced Technique — Frenzied Fang Assault!
Just as the serpentine shadows were about to reach the clones, the blade in the clone's hand turned.
Sword Light — Six Extremes Slash!
Six arcs of sword light tore through space, scattering all the serpentine shadows. One of the arcs pierced through the dissipating shadows and landed squarely on Baosha's shoulder.
The sword light swept past, leaving a bone-deep gash on Baosha's shoulder. His entire body crashed to the ground like a meteor, losing more than an eighth of his health in an instant.
It wasn't just Baosha who had been struck down by the clones. Everyone except Lina had been heavily wounded — they could barely fight back at all as their health continued to plummet. Only Lina, who had activated a third-tier life-saving skill that halved the incoming damage, was doing somewhat better. But facing two of Shi Feng's clones, her health was still dropping steadily, and being finished off was simply a matter of time.
"So powerful!"
"These clones are way too strong! I think even one of Black Flame's clones could probably take down a fourth-tier legendary monster!"
The spectators watched as Lina and her group were completely overwhelmed by Shi Feng's clones, each of them unable to stop their eyelids from twitching. They had seen clones before, but clones powerful enough to dominate fourth-tier legendary combatants — this was definitely the first time since entering the Divine Realm.
"No wonder! So this is the real reason Black Flame dares to challenge Illusion Myth!" Undying Warheart watched as Lina and her group were completely suppressed, his admiration for Shi Feng growing immensely.
In the entire virtual gaming world, it had been so long since anyone dared challenge the five great super guilds. Now Shi Feng had not only overpowered seven fourth-tier legendary combatants — securing high-level resource territories afterward would be a done deal.
On the battlefield, as Lina and her group's health dropped lower and lower, reaching critical levels — just three or four more exchanges and they would be completely finished by the clones — brilliant blade lights shot directly toward Shi Feng's clones.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The clones blocked attack after attack, the sky itself splitting open with several massive spatial rifts.
"Vice-Commander?"
Lina and the others instinctively looked toward where the blade lights had come from, their faces lighting up with wild joy.
That was right — the one who had just intervened was none other than Bleust, Vice-Commander of Illusion Myth's ace legion.
But Bleust had undergone a complete transformation. Divine runes had appeared across his pitch-black armor, and complex magical arrays surfaced on his forehead and eyes. His aura radiated like that of a demon god — so imposing that even the magic domain Shi Feng had deployed couldn't suppress him.
"A Bronze Rank battle formation?" Shi Feng stared at the transformed Bleust, eyes full of surprise. He then shook his head. "No, that can't be right. A Bronze Rank battle formation shouldn't be something a third-tier player could execute, and Bronze Rank formations shouldn't even be available yet."
Before Shi Feng could think any further, Bleust appeared before him in a flash, wielding a purple lightning war blade. His terrifying aura was enough to make even a true fourth-tier legendary monster tremble.
"No! Impossible! Is this person really a third-tier player?!"
