I Have Countless Clones

Lin Shen’s expression remained unchanged. With a wave of his hand, the tablet and the inkstone flew into the air. In the blink of an eye, they turned into two giant creatures that charged at the beasts with an intimidating momentum.

With the enhancement of abundant spiritual essence, the spiritual light of the two Dharma treasures was dense. Wherever they passed, the spiritual beast was torn into pieces. They wailed repeatedly and turned into green smoke that dissipated in the air.

The tablet and the inkstone only circled once before the densely packed beasts closest to Lin Shen were all killed.

At the same time, sharp sword light suddenly cracked the ground and attacked. It pierced through the vital points of several spiritual beasts like lightning. Those spiritual beasts didn’t even have the time to scream before they were minced into smoke.

The Shadow Slaying Flying Sword, which was also obtained from Lu Wansong, also exploded with shocking power with the enhancement of the metal-element Supreme Secret spiritual essence.

Shan Jingchun was dumbfounded. His eyes were wide open.

Four profound armaments!

Where did Lin Shen get so many profound armament Dharma treasures?

Shan Jingchun was shocked and envious.

Fortunately, he didn’t know how many profound armaments Lin Shen had in his storage ring. Otherwise, his eyes would have popped out.

Under the consecutive attacks of the three profound armaments, more than half of the hundred spiritual beasts died in the blink of an eye.

On the other hand, Lin Shen was unharmed under the protection of the Black Tortoise Essence.

Seeing this, Shan Jingchun finally realized that something was wrong, and panic appeared in his eyes.

He had used all his methods, but he still couldn’t gain the slightest advantage.

On the contrary, Lin Shen had a calm expression from the beginning to the end. It was obvious that he hadn’t used his full strength.

“Damn it! What’s wrong with this kid? He’s clearly just advanced to a cultivator master not long ago, but his strength is shocking!”

Was a first-grade spirit meridian that powerful?

Shan Jingchun gritted his teeth and took out the Golden Killing Compass again, releasing thousands of streaks of golden sword energy to attack Lin Shen.

No matter how powerful the Black Tortoise Essence’s defense was, it couldn’t withstand the repeated attacks of the spiritual beast and the Golden Killing Sword. The turtle shell shadow looked like it was about to collapse.

Lin Shen didn’t want his Dharma treasure to be damaged, so he simply put away the Black Tortoise Essence.

Seeing this, Shan Jingchun was overjoyed. He thought that Lin Shen had already exhausted all his tricks, so he immediately activated the Golden Killing Sword in one go.

Clang! Clang!

The incomparably sharp Golden Killing Sword energy landed on Lin Shen’s body, but it was blocked by a thin layer of spiritual light and couldn’t advance an inch.

“Heavenly Star Robe!”

The joy on Shan Jingchun’s face froze.

The Nine Suns Sect’s Alchemy and Weapon Division refined many profound armaments, including the Heavenly Star Robe.

Such standard profound armaments were usually bestowed by the sect to disciples who had made contributions.

Although it was only an inferior-grade profound armament, its defense was extraordinary. It was a Dharma treasure that many disciples dreamed of.

Shan Jingchun didn’t expect Lin Shen to have a second defensive profound armament and was caught off guard.

However, he had already used up all his trump cards. Now that he was caught between a rock and a hard place, he could only brace himself and continue to activate his sword energy to attack.

In a little over ten seconds, Lin Shen had already killed all the surrounding spiritual beasts. With a point of his finger, the inkstone, the tablet, and the Shadow Slayer changed directions and charged toward Shan Jingchun.

Shan Jingchun immediately panicked when he saw this. He hurriedly released his Golden Killing Sword to stop it. However, under the repeated attacks of the three profound armaments, he was losing fast. Not long after, the sword energy was hit by the tablet with a bang, and Shan Jingchun spat out a mouthful of blood.

By now, Lin Shen had roughly figured out Shan Jingchun’s capability

His cultivation was indeed much higher than Shan Wenqi’s. At the very least, he was at the sixth level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage and was only a step away from stepping into the late phase of that stage.

More importantly, Shan Jingchun had many powerful Dharma treasures.

The Golden Killing Compass, the Breaking Dharma Brush, the Hundred Demons Diagram… Every single one of them was a powerful profound armament that ordinary cultivators couldn’t obtain. They were probably all superior-grade.

Lin Shen was sure that these Dharma treasures were given to Shan Jingchun at the last minute by the Shan family. Their goal was to ensure that Shan Jingchun could defeat him.

If Shan Jingchun’s opponent was a cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, they would really be overwhelmed by these three Dharma treasures.

However, Lin Shen wasn’t afraid.

In terms of trump cards, he had never lost the competition.

He didn’t want to expose his clone so quickly because he could get more things from the Shan family. If that hadn’t been the case, Shan Jingchun would probably not even be able to last ten strikes from him!

However, even without the clones, Shan Jingchun’s defeat was already a foregone conclusion!

Under Lin Shen’s control, the three profound armaments attacked Shan Jingchun repeatedly.

With 108 wisps of Supreme Secret spiritual essences, controlling several profound armaments at the same time was a piece of cake for Lin Shen.

However, it was looking good for Shan Jingchun.

Under the violent storm of attacks, his spiritual essence was quickly exhausted.

After being sent flying again, Shan Jingchun finally couldn’t hold on anymore. His face was pale as he shouted,

“I admit defeat. Brother Lin, please stop!”

With a wave of Lin Shen’s hand, the three profound armaments turned into streams of light and entered his sleeves. Meanwhile, he looked at Shan Jingchun with an unconcealed mocking expression.

Shan Jingchun’s face almost turned purple. He was filled with frustration and hatred. His lips moved, but he couldn’t say anything.

A moment ago, he had said that he was going to defeat Lin Shen, but his defeat happened in the blink of an eye. It was extremely embarrassing.

More importantly, this battle was a total failure for him.

Not only had he failed to take back Gale Island, but he had also wasted five bottles of Nine Cauldron Pills. He didn’t know how he would be reprimanded and punished by the elders of his family when he returned.

Thinking of this, Shan Jingchun suddenly felt a sense of sorrow and depression.

“The Nine Cauldrons Pill will be delivered soon!”

After saying this, Shan Jingchun turned around and left dejectedly. He couldn’t bear to stay here anymore.

Lin Shen suddenly said, “If anyone from the Shan family still wants to bet with me, I’m very happy to comply. The stake will be the same as today. Five bottles of Nine Cauldron Pills.”

As soon as he said this, Shan Jingchun almost tripped. After steadying himself, he hurriedly sped up and left.

Lin Shen smiled and returned to Goldstream Isle.

With five bottles of Nine Cauldron Pills in his hands, he was in a very good mood.

When he first became Yu Siyu’s disciple, she only gave him one bottle of Nine Cauldron Pills.

This wasn’t because Yu Siyu was stingy, but because the Nine Cauldron Pill was exceptionally precious.

Even in the Shan family, it wasn’t easy for the elite disciples to obtain a bottle of Nine Cauldron Pills.

If the Shan family hadn’t been so eager to take back Gale Island, Lin Shen wouldn’t have been able to obtain five bottles of Nine Cauldron Pills at once.

These pills should be enough for him to break through to the third level of the Spirit Nurturing Stage!

Moreover, there might be even more Nine Cauldron Pills for him soon—as long as the Shan family still didn’t intend to exchange the Star Sword Pill for Gale Island.

It feels great to have resources delivered to his door!

The Shan family kept their word.

Or rather, they didn’t dare to go against the oath.

The next day, they sent someone to deliver the Nine Cauldron Pills.

At the same time, there was a second round of gambling competition.

“I’m Shan Liangshan. I would like to spar with Brother Lin. The stakes will still be Gale Island and five bottles of Nine Cauldron Pills. What do you think, Brother Lin?”

Shan Liangshan cupped his hands at Lin Shen.

Even though he was suppressing his spiritual energy, it still exuded a thick and extraordinary aura.

In fact, this wasn’t a surprise. As long as the Shan family wasn’t stupid, after Shan Jingchun was defeated by Lin Shen, the strength and cultivation of the people they sent again would definitely far surpass Shan Jingchun.

In fact, when they delivered the Nine Cauldron Pills the next day, they couldn’t wait to propose another bet. Clearly, they didn’t want to give Lin Shen a chance to use the Nine Cauldron Pills to increase his strength.

That showed how much the Shan family feared Lin Shen!

As his mind raced, Lin Shen had already figured out what was going on.

However, he didn’t mind at all and agreed without hesitation.

“No problem.”

Hearing that, Shan Liangshan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

What he was most worried about was that Lin Shen would stall for time and delay the bet. This would inevitably increase the variables.

Although he said that, when he saw the faint smile on Lin Shen’s face, Shan Liangshan felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness.

However, he quickly threw this uneasiness to the back of his mind.

With Shan Jingchun’s failure, the Shan family was fully prepared this time.

Not only did they send him, an eighth-level Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator master, but they also bestowed him with five superior-grade profound armaments.

Unless it was a cultivator who had condensed the seed of Mystic Light, Shan Liangshan felt that no one in the same stage would be his match.

Even Lin Shen was no exception!

Shan Liangshan made up his mind and cupped his hands.

“Let’s begin!”

Lin Shen smiled.

In the next moment, his figure suddenly blurred, and he instantly split into seven.

!!!

Shan Liangshan turned pale with fright.

Clones?

Lin Shen had such a divine power?

However, he soon had no more time to be surprised.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Shen and his six clones spread out and surrounded him in a certain formation.

The Seven-section Array of Unmoving Mountain!

The next moment, Shan Liangshan was engulfed in a storm of attacks!
