“A clone spell?”
The sudden change surprised Wu Luo.
Then, his expression changed slightly.
This was because he acutely sensed that the strength of these clones didn’t decrease at all!
After all, the “Wu Luo” here was only an incarnation with 30% of his full strength. He could still deal with Lin Shen alone with ease, but he was no longer as calm as before when facing the seven “Lin Shen”.
With a serious look on his face, Wu Luo opened his mouth and spat out 18 mouthfuls of Sunflower Water spiritual essence. In an instant, clouds and mist surged around him, protecting him.
The sword energy and lightning that attacked like a storm landed on the clouds and mist like a spring breeze, having no effect on Wu Luo.
When the attacks dissipated, there were still two-thirds of the spiritual essence left in the eighteen balls of energy.
Wu Luo, who was protected by the Sunflower Water spiritual essence, was completely unharmed.
However, when Wu Luo separated the spiritual essence, he was surprised to find that he was no longer where he was before. In front of him was a rolling rocky land and dense forest.
There was no one around. Where was Lin Shen?
Wu Luo’s gaze froze. He released his spiritual consciousness, but when it spread to a radius of 100 meters, it was as if he had hit a solid wall and couldn’t advance any further.
“An illusion!”
After joining forces with his clone, Lin Shen suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was a red fox.
“Quick! Let’s leave now!” the red fox said anxiously.
The situation was urgent, so Lin Shen didn’t ask any more questions. He immediately turned around and left, not even having the time to see the results of his joint attack with his clones.
After running for 20 to 30 kilometers, Lin Shen still didn’t see Wu Luo chasing after him. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. He couldn’t help but ask curiously,
“What did you do to Wu Luo?”
“It’s just an illusion,” the red fox said. “But it can’t delay him for long. At most, in another fifteen minutes, he’ll be able to break free of the illusion and continue chasing us!”
Lin Shen was surprised.
Although Wu Luo’s incarnation only had 30% of his full strength, it was already much stronger than many ninth-level Bright Aperture cultivators.
The red fox could actually use an illusion to trap Wu Luo’s incarnation. She had to be rather powerful.
It seemed that the red fox wasn’t an ordinary Enlightening Stage demon!
However, although he was surprised, Lin Shen didn’t probe further.
No matter what, the red fox had saved his life.
After calming himself down, Lin Shen slapped a few more talismans on his body and continued to speed up.
Without the Giant-horned Deer, he could only keep using the Riding Wind Technique.
Fortunately, he had brought a lot of Revival Pills with him before he set off, so he could still keep going.
About ten minutes later, Lin Shen could already see the boundary stone of the Great Swamp of the West on the horizon.
As long as he passed that spot, he would have won the bet with Wu Luo!
At this moment, Lin Shen’s expression suddenly changed. He turned around and saw a cloud of water in the distance cutting through the sky like a meteor and rushing over.
Itwas Wu Luo!
Lin Shen’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately summoned his clones.
As soon as they appeared, the six clones immediately charged toward Wu Luo, while Lin Shen took the opportunity to speed up and rush toward the boundary stone.
Wu Luo narrowed his eyes and raised his hand. A clone that had rushed to the front was instantly struck by lightning and flew back at a faster speed than when it came.
Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed. A green light shot out in an instant. It circled around like a whirlwind. With a muffled bang, the five clones that surrounded him were sent flying.
Wu Luo didn’t even pause for a moment. He shot straight at Lin Shen like a stream of light, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was reduced to less than 100 meters.
Swoosh!
With an air-piercing sound, the green light went straight for Lin Shen’s back!
At the critical moment, Lin Shen suddenly threw something backward.
The air suddenly darkened. Amidst a dull whistling sound, a pitch-black inkstone appeared at some point. At first, it was only the size of a palm, but in the blink of an eye, it expanded to a radius of dozens of feet. With an incomparably domineering and violent aura, it crashed toward the green light! Clang!
It was like the sound of a bronze bell ringing!
After the collision, the green light and the inkstone shook at the same time and retreated to their respective masters.
Wu Luo waved his sleeve, and the green light disappeared. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“A profound armament!”
He didn’t expect the young human cultivator in front of him to have a Dharma treasure.
Could this person be a direct descendant of the Nine Suns Sect’s influential clans?
Wu Luo was puzzled, but he didn’t continue to attack.
Because of the delay just now, Lin Shen had already rushed past the boundary stone and walked out of the Great Swamp of the West.
According to the agreement, Wu Luo had lost this bet!
Although he had lost the bet, Wu Luo didn’t look angry at all. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the red fox on Lin Shen’s shoulder.
“Why did the Haoshan Fox Clan come to the Great Swamp of the West instead of staying in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range?”
The red fox jumped down from Lin Shen’s shoulder and bent her limbs slightly as if she was bowing to Wu Luo.
“I’ve offended you just now. Please forgive me. However, the bet didn’t say that he couldn’t find help, so my actions couldn’t be considered a violation of the rules. I believe General Wu Luo won’t hold it against us.”
“You fox demons are as cunning as ever.”
Wu Luo casually waved his hand and said,
“Alright, I’m not interested in arguing with you. You’ve won the bet, so we’ll let the matter of killing Wu Jing rest. There’s nothing to complain about dying on the battlefield in a head-on battle. However, you, a fox demon, can’t take another step into the Great Swamp of the West.”
“I’ll leave now,” the red fox said gently.
Wu Luo didn’t say anything else. After giving Lin Shen a long look, he turned into a stream of light and left without looking back.
Watching Wu Luo disappear into the horizon, Lin Shen heaved a sigh of relief..
