Chao Yang from all three directions held his shurikens and rushed towards Lin Ming at the same time. He thought that one of his clones was real, so he had to break them one by one if he wanted to find one. He aimed at the left side of Chao Yang and quickly formed seals with his hands.
"Earth Escape – Earth Lance"
The ground beneath Chao Yang on the left suddenly jabbed out with sharp rocks, lifting Chao Yang up. However, he immediately turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared. Clearly, he was a shadow clone.
When the shurikens were about to injure him, he miraculously disappeared. This caused Chao Yang to be extremely shocked, and even Chao Yang, who was on the right side, turned around to look for him.
At that moment, Zhang Ming came out from the ground and punched Chao Yang's chest with his right hand. The Chao Yang rolled several meters before turning into a ball of white mist and disappeared. The answer was obvious. The Chao Yang on the right was the real one.
"You're quite capable, but you still underestimated my ability." Chao Yang said indifferently.
"Is that so?" A deep voice came from behind the rising sun, and the incantation before it disappeared in a cloud of white mist.
"Before you attacked my Shadow Clone Technique, you had already planned out the best course of action. You used your innate skill in such an ingenious manner. Could it be that this is the gap between us?" The morning sun was completely pierced through by the sword in Lin Ming's hand, and the sword had pierced through the vital parts of his body.
Lin Ming closed his eyes and smiled sinisterly behind his back, "There's no meaning in talking about this any longer."
As soon as he finished his sentence, a shurikens flew over and stabbed into the ground. Sweat poured down from his forehead, because there was an explosive talisman stuck on the hilt of the sword. At the same time, the sun also turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared.
The morning sun, who had been sitting on the camphor tree, raised his hands and controlled the explosion.
"Ka!"
"Boom!" A loud sound spread throughout the surrounding area. Countless birds flew out of the camphor forest in panic. Many wild beasts on the ground also fled in panic, staying far away from the source of the explosion.
The smoke gradually dispersed and the morning sun came flying down. When they saw the hunched figure of Li Ming trembling on the ground, it was obvious that he was still alive. This caused Chao Yang to be extremely shocked. He had never heard of a Skywalker being blasted to death by the Explosive Talisman.
"Hehe, you can actually use three clones. I admit that I underestimated your strength, but I will show you the power of evil." As he spoke, he stood up, and finally let go of the hands that were covering his body. A horrifying scene appeared.
The upper half of Li Ming's body was covered in fiery black flower patterns. His face was as hideous as a devil, and his pair of eyes even shot out flames of fury that could pierce the heavens, causing people's hearts to tremble.
Chao Yang didn't know what sort of spell he used to turn him into this, but he was clear on one thing. The explosion just now had only destroyed his clothes, and it didn't seem to have done any harm to him.
"Hmph, evil cannot be righteous." As Chao Yang spoke, he clasped his hands together and quickly formed a seal.
"Flame Escape – Small Fireball Technique!"
Firefly like sparks shot out from the mouth of the rising sun. When the sparks came into contact with the air, they began to expand violently like snowballs, finally forming a huge fireball several meters tall. It quickly pushed towards Li Ming, and the ground along the path was also scorched by the scorching hot external flames like a land of coal.
The power of the technique seemed extraordinary, but he did not dodge it. Instead, he quickly dashed forward and prepared to confront the fireball head on.
When Chao Yang saw Lin Ming rush into the sea of flames, he knew something was wrong. Just as he was about to retreat, a black tornado shaped shadow came out from the fireball and struck his chest.
Chao Yang was suddenly pushed away by the huge force and could not control his body. He rolled backwards until he knocked over a few trees before being able to stop himself. He estimated that he was more than 1000 feet away from where he was just now and spat out a mouthful of blood as he got up.
"Go to hell!" While Chao Yang was still in a daze, Lin Ming leapt forward and punched the unprepared Chao Yang.
A huge crater immediately appeared on the ground where Chao Yang was standing. However, the injured Chao Yang turned into a piece of wood and fell to the ground.
"Substitute?" Ye Zichen was greatly shocked.
Chao Yang knew his chance had come and flew out into the air. He quickly brandished his shuriken at his back, but the shuriken bounced off with a clang, as if it had hit a stone wall.
"It's no use, haha!" Then, he quickly kicked Chao Yang, sending him flying.
Chao Yang retreated in pain. He knew he had become stronger, but he never thought he would become so strong. Even his body was as hard as stone. No, that's not right. Why did he feel so familiar with the situation?
With a flash of inspiration, he recalled his battle with Mt. Tai. Mt. Tai. Mt. Tai was also able to resist his physical attacks, but he had used a technique called Petrification.
Only after figuring out the principles behind the technique would he be able to come up with a solution. Chao Yang had heard from his teacher that in order to break through the petrification barrier, he would need the help of the Lightning Evasion. But now, where could he find Lightning Evasion?
"Got it!" Seeing that Remnant Dream had rushed over, Chao Yang took out a few smoke bombs and tossed them over. He needed to buy time to arrange a plan.
Immediately, thick smoke filled the camphor forest, as if an extremely thick and wide white muslin descended from the sky, and all vision was blocked by the smoke, he could only stop in his tracks and give up attacking, "Hmph, let's see how long you can hide."
Chao Yang found a spot to bite his finger, drained his blood, and quickly formed a seal.
"Psychic's Head!"
Immediately, a spiderweb-like black rune appeared on the ground. White fog rose from the rune, and a goat-like animal appeared. It was the Little Thunder that the morning sun had used two years ago, but the sun only occasionally summoned it when it was cultivating in order to prevent others from discovering this secret.
"It took you so long to call me out. Are the wild fruits ready?" Xiao Lei had obviously grown a lot, and the white wings on his back were very long.
In the past, in order to satisfy Little Thunder's appetite, Chao Yang picked some wild fruits from who knows where. Little Lei was addicted to wild fruits, so when Little Thunder called for it, it wanted to eat them. The cunning Chao Yang even traded some wild fruits for information on Little Lei, knowing what its innate talent was.
"I met some trouble and need your help." Chao Yang said in embarrassment.
"Hehe, a hundred wild fruits, not one less." Lil 'Lei turned around and snickered. He knew that only by showing his rejection could he stop the desire for demand.
Without even thinking, Chao Yang nodded and said, "Deal." He was secretly pleased. There were no wild fruits in this season. When everything was done, he would throw a few bunches of bananas at it.
"Then hurry up!" Thinking of the deliciousness of the wild fruit, Little Lei started drooling.
