Chapter 828: Chapter 827: Swat Two Mosquitoes to Death? To Save Face, I Can Only Take Pills!
"Go to hell!" the Jiang Family Grand Elder roared. He controlled the residual power of the Nine-Teeth Creation, smashing it straight toward the giant mosquito avatar that had just released its Skills.
When fifty of Chu Sheng’s clones suddenly appeared earlier, the Jiang Family Grand Elder had indeed frozen for a moment, caught somewhat off guard. But soon, relying on his keen observation, he noticed that this particular Outer Body Avatar’s eyes were much more expressive. Moreover, it could actively unleash an ultimate move. This had to be Chu Sheng’s true body! Without hesitation, he commanded the remaining power of the Nine-Teeth Creation to strike this Outer Body Avatar with everything he had, preparing to kill Chu Sheng in a single blow.
BANG! A massive explosion echoed once again. The hundred-meter-long Outer Body Avatar couldn’t withstand the residual power and detonated on the spot. Dark green blood flew in all directions, and shredded flesh splattered everywhere.
The Jiang Family Grand Elder sneered coldly. He lowered his Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake, his face full of disdain. "A measly little White-striped Aedes Mosquito dares to fight me? You’re biting off more than you can chew."
But a second later, the smile on the Jiang Family Grand Elder’s face froze. The remaining forty-nine clones were still hovering perfectly intact in mid-air, flapping their wings. Not a single one had dissipated.
This could only mean one thing. Chu Sheng’s true body wasn’t dead! The ultimate attack he had just unleashed with all his might had only killed a clone!
"How is this possible?!" The Jiang Family Grand Elder’s pupils shrank, and a trace of panic welled up in his heart. He clearly sensed the fluctuations of a Divine Soul inside that clone. How could it have been a fake?
However, his panic only lasted for a fleeting moment. The Jiang Family Grand Elder quickly composed himself and tightened his grip on the Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake.
"It’s just forty-nine clones. What’s the big deal?
"I’ll wipe them all out with a single strike of my rake!
"When that time comes, let’s see where you can hide!"
He channeled all the Divine Power within his body, pouring it endlessly into the Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake, preparing for a massive area-of-effect Attack. He simply refused to believe it. If he obliterated all forty-nine clones at once, could it be possible that none of them were the true body?
As his Divine Power surged into the weapon, the Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake once again lit up with a blinding black light. Its aura was even more terrifying than before! The second Nine-Teeth Creation was brewing.
Meanwhile, the wisp of Divine Thought that Chu Sheng had split off had already transferred into another Outer Body Avatar. He paid absolutely no heed to the ultimate move Elder Jiang was charging up. Instead, he muttered in his heart about his Skills, "The Full Level Silent Extinction Flame Feather is increasingly failing to keep up with my growth in strength. To think it’s actually struggling a bit against this measly little rake. I’ll have to find an opportunity to upgrade it later. Otherwise, it will only become more and more inadequate in future battles."
Just as he decided to upgrade the Silent Extinction Flame Feather, the colossal phantom of the Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake arrived right above Chu Sheng’s group of clones. A suffocating pressure of death rushed over them. Chu Sheng glanced up and leisurely controlled one of the Outer Body Avatars to execute Form Transformation once again. In the blink of an eye, this avatar swelled to five hundred meters in length. Its massive body effortlessly shielded the rest of the Outer Body Avatars from above.
"Five Elements Sacred Armor! Activate!"
The five-hundred-meter-long giant Mosquito was instantly covered in a layer of iridescent Armor. The Five Elements Laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth flowed around it, maxing out its Defense Power!
CLANG!!! The phantom of the Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake crashed down heavily, striking the Five Elements Sacred Armor with a deafening screech of colliding metal. The Five Elements Sacred Armor flashed wildly. After holding on for three seconds, it shattered, dissipating into specks of raining light.
Relying on its own formidable physical strength, the Outer Body Avatar forcefully withstood the impact for another five seconds. Ultimately, it followed in the footsteps of the previous Outer Body Avatar, exploding violently into a boundless shower of blood.
However, the phantom of the Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake had also been mostly worn down, leaving only a trace of its residual might. The remaining forty-eight clones swarmed forward. With a kick here and a kick there, they easily shattered the remaining phantom of the Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake.
Once again, the Skill into which the Jiang Family Grand Elder had poured all his Divine Power failed to make even a splash. The only price Chu Sheng paid to block Elder Jiang’s second Nine-Teeth Creation was the sacrifice of a second Outer Body Avatar.
This time, the Jiang Family Grand Elder was truly dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the spot, unable to snap out of his daze for a long time. The Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake was his most powerful Magical Treasure, bar none. The Nine-Teeth Creation was his most powerful Skill, bar none. Launching two consecutive full-strength attacks had drained nearly eighty percent of his Divine Power. In the end, he had only destroyed two clones. How was this any different from casually swatting two mosquitoes to death?!
The Jiang Family Grand Elder looked at the remaining forty-eight identical clones hovering in mid-air. For the first time, he felt utterly powerless. He tried to use his Divine Thought to carefully distinguish them, hoping to find out which of the remaining forty-eight clones was Chu Sheng’s true body. But every single clone possessed the exact same aura, and even the frequency of their flapping wings was completely identical. He couldn’t tell the real from the fake at all!
His Divine Power was mostly depleted, with very little left. How was he supposed to keep fighting? If he continued, what if he only ended up killing another clone? If he fought until his Divine Power ran dry without even touching the true body, that would be an absolute disgrace.
Caught in a dilemma, the Jiang Family Grand Elder froze in place. He cast a hesitant glance at the area where the elders of the other clans were standing, a flicker of indecision crossing his face. Should he ask for help? The Eight Great Clans stood united. As long as he called out, the elders of the other clans would definitely step up to assist him. With the combined strength of the eight elders from the Eight Great Clans, annihilating all of Chu Sheng’s clones would be done without breaking a sweat.
But from this day forward, the Eight Great Clans would have an endless topic of gossip during their leisure time: the Jiang Family Grand Elder couldn’t even defeat a mosquito and had to rely on everyone’s help. Just imagining that scenario made him flush with embarrassment. It was too humiliating!
After a moment of hesitation, the Jiang Family Grand Elder squashed the thought of asking for help. He couldn’t afford to lose that much face.
"This is the only way left!" The Jiang Family Grand Elder gritted his teeth and reached into his Storage Ring, pulling out a crimson Elixir.
The Fiery Sun Pill!
Consuming this Elixir would rapidly restore Divine Power for one minute. It was equivalent to temporarily gaining infinite mana. One shouldn’t look down on this mere minute. In a duel between two powerhouses of the same Realm, one minute was more than enough to determine victory or defeat. One person, having taken the Elixir, could endlessly unleash their ultimate moves. The other, without the Elixir, would be completely spent after a few ultimate moves. It would be crystal clear who would win and who would lose.
However, this Elixir had side effects. It was a forbidden drug that overran one’s potential. Once the one-minute medicinal effect passed, the user’s Divine Power would be completely drained, leaving them weak and exhausted. For a short period of time, absolutely no method could restore their Divine Power.
The Jiang Family Grand Elder swept his gaze over the forty-eight Mosquitoes hovering around him, his eyes gradually turning ruthless.
"Damn Mosquito, I must grind you to dust and scatter your ashes to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
With a vicious curse, the Jiang Family Grand Elder hesitated no longer and tossed the Fiery Sun Pill into his mouth.
The Elixir melted the moment it entered his mouth, and its violent Medicinal Power instantly spread out. The effects kicked in quickly. The Jiang Family Grand Elder immediately felt an endless stream of Divine Power surging from within his body. It was so full and abundant that it felt as if it would never run out.
"Hmph! Once I annihilate all your clones, let’s see where else you can hide!" The Jiang Family Grand Elder looked as if he had gone mad. Facing Chu Sheng’s forty-eight clones, he raised the Seven-Star Soul-Slaying Rake high once more.
"Nine-Teeth Creation!
"Slay without mercy!!!"
