I Have Countless Clones

As they conversed, the Dragon Fang Flying Ship arrived at the north gate of Dragonside City.

The three of them alighted from the flying ship. Qu Ke put it away and was about to bid farewell when he realized that Lin Shen was looking somewhere. Following his gaze, Qu Ke saw a figure not far away.

“Han Liang!”

Qu Ke was a little surprised to see him. Soon, he thought of something, and his expression changed.

“What are you doing here?”

Han Liang cupped his hands at Qu Ke and smiled bitterly. “Senior Brother Qu, don’t blame me. 1 was just following orders.”

The moment he said that Qu Ke looked displeased.

Shen Zening saw this and asked curiously, “Senior Brother Qu, who is that?”

“He’s Han Liang, an inner sect disciple. He’s very close to Kuang Hai who caused trouble for Junior Brother Lin that day!” Qu Ke explained softly.

Hearing this, how could Shen Zening not understand? His expression changed slightly.

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows, and a dark glint flashed across his eyes.

Looks like trouble was coming for him again!

With this thought, a streak of light suddenly appeared in the distant sky and flew over. In less than three seconds, it arrived and landed on the ground without exerting any strength.

The light dissipated, revealing a tall figure.

The person was about 40 years old. He had a strong face and a burly figure. His entire body exuded an incomparably sharp aura, like a volcano that was about to erupt!

He had no intention of retracting his aura at all. Instead, he deliberately released his aura. A powerful and scorching aura swept toward Lin Shen and the other two like a wave that wanted to drown and crush them!

A cultivator master!

Qu Ke and Shen Zening grunted in unison and took a few steps back from the terrifying aura.

Only Lin Shen remained standing on the spot without changing his expression.

The overwhelming pressure landed on his body like a spring breeze. It was completely useless.

Kuang Zhuo’s eyes narrowed as a cold light flashed in them.

“Are you the Lin Shen who injured my son?”

Lin Shen didn’t answer. He only sized the man up a few times, shook his head, and laughed.

“I defeated the son, then there’s the father. Is everyone in your family a bad loser?”

As soon as he said this, Kuang Zhuo’s gaze became even colder.

At this moment, Qu Ke finally caught his breath. He hurriedly stepped forward and shouted,

“Wait, Master Kuang!

“Junior Brother Lin and Kuang Hai’s bet is recognized and protected by the sect. Regardless of whether one wins or loses, the consequences will be up to the two of them. No one is allowed to provoke them in the future!

“Moreover, you’re a cultivator master. It’s too unreasonable for you to bully a junior personally. If word gets out, the Kuang family’s reputation will probably be affected!”

When Han Liang heard this, he sighed inwardly.

These words made sense, but since a dignified cultivator master like Kuang Zhuo had already decided to take a huge risk and attack Lin Shen, how could he be swayed by those words?

As expected, Kuang Zhuo’s expression didn’t change. He only glanced coldly at Qu Ke.

“How dare a junior teach me how to do things?”

Qu Ke’s expression froze.

Kuang Zhuo ignored him and looked at Lin Shen coldly.

“You made my son suffer from the heat poison for two months. I’ll let you experience the same thing!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a red light appeared around Kuang Zhuo. A ball of flames that was like a red cloud surged out and targeted Lin Shen’s head!

As soon as the flames appeared, the temperature of the air within a radius of five hundred meters suddenly soared!

Qu Ke and Shen Zening couldn’t withstand the scorching aura and fell back again, their faces going pale.

They never expected that not only would Kuang Zhuo personally come to find trouble with Lin Shen, but he would also take the initiative to attack first. That was so shameless!

For a moment, Qu Ke and Shen Zening were shocked and furious.

Especially Qu Ke. He knew that Kuang Zhuo was a second-level Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator master. Against a cultivator at the Bright Aperture Stage, he could crush Lin Shen completely!

Even though Lin Shen had once severely injured a cultivator master, that person was only a first-level Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator master.

Against an experienced second-level Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator master like Kuang Zhuo, the situation wasn’t looking good.

Both Qu Ke and Shen Zening were extremely anxious, but they couldn’t intervene.

Kuang Zhuo’s casual attack had already forced them to retreat. They wanted to help, but they were powerless.

With a whoosh, the flames had already arrived in front of Lin Shen.

The latter didn’t dodge, and his expression didn’t change. Golden light flashed from his body, and the flames disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Kuang Zhuo frowned and snorted.

“You have some ability. Looks like the rumors about you severely injuring Wu Ji are true. However, if you think that I’m a piece of trash like Wu Ji, you’re gravely mistaken!”

Seeing that Lin Shen was indeed as strong as the rumors said, so strong that he didn’t seem like a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator at all, Kuang Zhuo stopped holding back. The core aperture in his chest opened, and he opened his mouth and spat out 18 mouthfuls of fire-element spiritual essence that were as red as fire clouds.

In an instant, the ground where Kuang Zhuo stood was charred black!

The plants around him also burned fiercely. In the blink of an eye, the fire surrounded the area around Lin Shen!

The scorching heat spread, forcing Qu Ke, Shen Zening, and Han Liang to retreat for hundreds of meters before stopping.

“Scarlet Mist Incense Furnace!”

Qu Ke’s expression was very ugly as he looked at the raging flames and steam in the distance.

When Shen Zening heard this, he hurriedly asked, “Senior Brother Qu, what is this Scarlet Mist Incense Furnace?”

“Master Kuang’s cultivation technique is called the Scarlet Mist Scroll. It’s a fire-type cultivation technique. It’s said that it could easily melt iron and steel when it reaches a high level. The Scarlet Mist Incense Furnace is one of the cultivation techniques accompanying this cultivation technique. It’s said that once it’s used, everything it passes will be scorched!” Qu Ke said with a frown.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zening’s expression immediately became extremely solemn.

In fact, even if Qu Ke didn’t explain, he had already seen the ferocity of this move.

The power of a cultivation technique was often related to the spiritual essence mobilized when it was used. The more spiritual essence it used, the stronger the power.

Kuang Zhuo took out 18 mouthfuls of spiritual essence at once. One could imagine how powerful this Scarlet Mist Incense Furnace was!

As the 18 mouthfuls of spiritual essence spread out and took their positions, they sank to the ground, and the scorching heat rose.

In an instant, the place where Lin Shen was turned into a raging sea of fire!

Wrapped in spiritual essence, the flames came at him from all directions as if they were sentient.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to be filled with flames that wanted to drown Lin Shen!

Kuang Zhuo sneered.

He didn’t use the Scarlet Mist Incense Furnace easily because he was a cultivator master who had advanced with a fourth-grade spirit meridian. He only had a total of 18 wisps of spiritual essence in his body. Once he used the Scarlet Mist Incense Furnace, more than half of his spiritual essence would be consumed.

If the Scarlet Mist Incense Furnace failed to severely injure or defeat the enemy, it would be his turn to be overwrought.

Therefore, when facing enemies, Kuang Zhuo wouldn’t easily use this move unless it was a critical moment.

However, facing a junior who wasn’t even a cultivator master, Kuang Zhuo didn’t mind much.

He was confident that with the power of this attack, Lin Shen wouldn’t be able to withstand it at all.

However, just as Kuang Zhuo was sneering inwardly, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

A scorching sun suddenly broke through the raging sea of fire and charged toward him like a meteor!

Rumbling thunder resounded in the sky along the way, and its aura was peerlessly mighty!

Kuang Zhuo’s expression changed slightly. Without hesitation, he threw out a shield. It expanded in the wind and turned into a two-meter-tall shield wall in front of him.

In the next moment, the scorching sun crashed into the shield wall with boundless sword intent!

BOOM!

As the fire wave spread, the shield wall shook intensely, causing Kuang Zhuo’s blood to boil.

However, he could no longer care about this. Instead, he looked at Lin Shen in shock.

Nine Divine Sun Sword?

No, that wasn’t right. Even if it was the True Martial Nine Divine Sun Sword, it wouldn’t be able to destroy his Scarlet Mist Incense Furnace!

There was some different spiritual essence in the sword just now!

Disbelief appeared on Kuang Zhuo’s face.

“Y-you’ve become a cultivator master?!”

The dignified cultivator master’s tone was actually trembling. That was how shocked he was!

When the other three people heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue, and they were all dumbfounded.

Lin Shen had advanced to a cultivator master?!
