Seeing that he was about to succeed, Duanmu Hong couldn't help but curl his lips into a sinister smile.
Clatter!
However, before the smile appeared on Duanmu Hong's face, it suddenly froze. Then, a hint of indescribable fear flashed in his eyes.
Just as his palm was about to hit Qin Shi, a huge hand suddenly rose up. It was covered in golden scales and grabbed him tightly.
At the critical moment, Qin Shi woke up.
He was so relaxed, and he smiled at Duanmu Hong calmly, "If I'm killed by you just like that, I'll be letting my brothers down."
Duanmu Hong struggled with all his might, but he realized that he couldn't break free at all. He said in horror, "Brat, how is this possible?
My Duanmu family's Boiling Flames Double Killing Technique is a peak rank nine martial art that even the Eight Heavens Almighties fear. Its temperature is over a thousand degrees, enough to melt mountains and boil seas. How did you manage to grab it without suffering a backlash? "
"Are you talking about this little flame?
If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have realized that it's so powerful. "
Qin Shi smiled faintly, and his smile was filled with mockery, "Your flame is indeed powerful, but have you heard that phoenixes can be reborn from fire?"
What a joke. Qin Shi's Fallen Star Hegemon Body Technique was formed by fusing the blood essence of the Golden Phoenix, a ferocious beast on the Divine List. No matter how powerful the flame was, was there a phoenix that was afraid of fire?
Obviously not.
Only now did Duanmu Hong notice the strangeness of Qin Shi's palm when he heard this, and he came to a sudden understanding. But right at this moment, a vicious aura suddenly erupted from him, and he ridiculed. "Kid, your ability really isn't weak. I underestimated you earlier, but do you think that you'll be safe and sound just because you've blocked me?
How naive! "
However, at this moment, Lin Yu, Su Ming, and the others' eyes flashed with shock. They straightened their bodies and shouted, "Shi Tou, be careful behind you!"
But they were still too late. By the time they finished speaking, Duanmu Yun had already appeared behind Qin Shi. His entire body was boiling with flames, and like lava erupting from a volcano, he grabbed at Qin Shi's back.
"No!" Yin Mo's eyes widened.
On Chi Yan's side, everyone's breathing quickened.
Seeing that Qin Shi's life was in danger, Little Mi Cai, Yu Qing, and the others' teeth trembled. Their spiritual energy burst out, and they were about to leap out of the ground.
However, at this moment, Qin Shi smiled strangely at Duanmu Hong. "Do you think that I, a Six Incantations Talisman Master, would not be able to detect such an obvious sneak attack?"
"Hmm?" Duanmu Hong was shocked when he heard this.
Patter!
Immediately after, an extremely horrifying scene stunned everyone. Duanmu Yun was about to attack Qin Shi when a huge hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
"How is this possible?"
Duanmu Yun was stunned. The most shocking thing was that hand. Qin Shi had used both of his hands to resist Duanmu Hong. What was with the third hand?
Just at this moment, from behind Qin Shi's back, where the hand had extended out, a thin black figure slowly appeared. This figure seemed to have been born from within Qin Shi's body, causing people's hearts to be filled with astonishment.
However, this was not the most shocking thing. The most unacceptable thing was the figure's appearance. Even though they were far away, Lin Yu and the others could still see it clearly. That figure had a head full of black hair that covered his eyes. His face was resolute, and his black robes fluttered in the cold wind. Wasn't that Qin Shi?
"There are two Qin Shi's?"
"What, what's going on?"
The sudden appearance of two Qin Shi's in the sky caused everyone to widen their eyes.
Duanmu Hong's eyes narrowed. "This is … a clone?"
Qin Shi smiled and shrugged his shoulders. He was very natural. "You can say that. However, it's fundamentally different from an ordinary clone."
Yu Qing stared at Qin Shi's clone from below. Disbelief flashed in her beautiful eyes. "That clone is actually filled with Soul Power?
Could this be Soul Force? "
"Little Qing, what exactly is going on?"
"According to the Yu Family's records, when a Talisman Master's soul reaches a certain level and his Psyche Power is extremely strong, he can separate his Psyche Power from his body and turn it into a clone. This kind of clone is fundamentally different from ordinary clone martial arts. Because there is a soul flowing in it, it has intelligence."
"Intelligence?"
"Yes. In other words, without Qin Shi, this clone is an independent person. It's just that it doesn't have a physical body."
"Moreover, I can feel that Shi Shi's Soul Power Clone is different from ordinary Soul Power Clones. It seems to be supported by some kind of huge Dharma text. It's refined by an extremely terrifying Soul Martial Art. It's even stronger than ordinary Soul Power Clones," Yu Qing said bitterly.
When they heard this, Lin Yu and the others sucked in a breath of cold air. What did that mean?
Didn't that mean that whoever fought with Qin Shi would be fighting with two people?
The current Qin Shi was the same as the Duanmu brothers. They were equivalent to two different people. Moreover, because the doppelganger was formed from Psyche power, it was also connected to one another. It could even be said that it was stronger than the Duanmu brothers and had a better understanding of one another.
When everyone understood this, they looked up and saw Qin Shi standing back to back against the Duanmu Brothers. The corners of their mouths twitched.
"So, he already had a plan."
"Our worries were unnecessary."
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Yu Qing's guess was right. This clone was the seventh level of the Xuantian Holy Scripture: Golden Mental Power Body. Qin Shi had already learned a little about this technique from the Xuantian Ancient Formation when he was recovering in the Eagle City's black market. Now, he could control it with ease.
After blocking the Boiling Flames Double Killing Technique, Qin Shi's lips curled up slightly. "Emperor Duanmu, this two-on-two seems to be fairer, right?"
"Brat, you …!" Duanmu Hong's eyes were spitting fire. He was furious.
"Second Brother, retreat first. I'll find a chance to kill him. Assist me from the side."
Duanmu Hong called out in his heart. Duanmu Yun immediately received the order. She glared at Qin Shi's Soul Power unwillingly. Then, she struck out three palms in the air and distanced herself from Qin Shi's Soul Power.
Duanmu Hong heaved a sigh of relief when Duanmu Yun retreated. Then, he struck out three palms at Qin Shi. Surging heat waves surged towards Qin Shi.
This caused Qin Shi to narrow his eyes. "Trying to run?"
He flicked his sleeves and chased after Duanmu Hong. At this moment, Duanmu Hong's eyes suddenly lit up. "Hmph, brat, who told you that I'm going to run?
You've been tricked! "
"Tricked?"
Qin Shi smiled faintly. After that, he cast a sidelong glance. Just as he had guessed, Duanmu Yun's movements were unfathomable. She made use of the time when he was chasing after Duanmu Hong to get behind him.
"Maybe you don't know, but there's a kind of trick called beating someone at their own game."
Qin Shi laughed. This caused Duanmu Hong to feel inexplicably uneasy. Then, without waiting for him to react, a black shadow dashed forward like a ghost. It had already circled behind Duanmu Yun.
Bang!
Duanmu Yun's attention was completely focused on Qin Shi. Even though she could sense Duanmu Hong's uneasiness, it was already too late when she wanted to dodge Qin Shi's Soul Power Clone.
Rumble!
Qin Shi's Soul Power Clone's attack was one step ahead of Duanmu Yun. With a palm strike, Duanmu Yun was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
Bang!
Half of the deep valley had collapsed.
"Second Brother!" Duanmu Hong was anxious when he saw this.
However, Qin Shi only smiled as he expected. "I have to say that this secret skill of the Duanmu Clan is indeed powerful. However, I think that if you're the only one using it, this secret skill won't be effective, right?"
Duanmu Hong's face immediately turned livid. Just as Qin Shi had said, the Duanmu Brothers were indeed powerful when they joined forces. They were even comparable to Eight Heavens. However, once they were separated, their strength would also be weakened by several times. They were too dependent on each other.
"This is the flaw of your secret skill." Qin Shi laughed.
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Hong's face turned red. Duanmu Yun's failure made him flustered and exasperated. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brat, don't look down on me!"
After saying that, he rushed forward and raised a three-meter-long machete over his head. He slashed down hard at Qin Shi.
"Brat, this machete is the treasure of the Mountain Gaze. It's a famous weapon that surpasses Emperor Soul Weapons. Let's see how you're going to resist this time!"
"Famous weapon?" Qin Shi frowned.
His action made Duanmu Hong even more arrogant. "That's right. What do you think?
'Have you never even heard of masterpieces before?
In the entire Hundred Tides, only the Holy Wind and the Mountain Gaze have famous weapons. It's normal for a country bumpkin like you not to have heard of them! "
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi was stunned at first. Then, he suddenly laughed. This Duanmu Hong was really interesting. He was just surprised that a famous weapon would appear in the Hundred Tides District. He didn't expect that he would be treated as a country bumpkin who didn't know about famous weapons.
Not to mention famous weapons, Qin Shi even had two of the top eight ancient weapons in the human world. If he included the Light Dancing Jade, he had seen three ancient weapons, let alone a small famous weapon.
Besides, that Mountain-splitting Saber was just a low-grade masterpiece. Its light was dim, and it made him look upon it with disdain.
"Haha, I've been looked down upon."
Qin Shi shook his head. Then, he focused his eyes and a blue sword light slashed out. He had taken out Broken Water.
Bang!
This sword was so powerful that it directly collided with Duanmu Hong's machete. Boom!
Indifferently, a shocking tremor rang out, causing countless people to tremble uncontrollably.
Crack!
Suddenly, a crisp shattering sound rang out. This caused Duanmu Hong to be secretly delighted. He was full of confidence in the machete in his hand. In his knowledge, there was no weapon in the Hundred Tides that could fight against the machete in his hand. Therefore, he was certain that the shattering sound was definitely from the Broken Water Sword in Qin Shi's hand.
Bang!
However, in the blink of an eye, a dim saber light shot out from his ear and cut his face. He widened his eyes in shock. "How, how is this possible?"
The machete in his hand was actually cut in half.
