CHAPTER 703: CHAPTER 702: SPLITTING BODIES? (1/5)

Battle!

Eyes like blades!

Body like a bow!

An imposing presence fills the sky.

At this moment, everyone present finally understood what true fighting spirit was.

The aura surging from Yang Chen almost stirred their blood, giving them the urge to charge into battle with him.

The murderous intent, seemingly substantial, directly attacked Kunze.

Kunze snorted coldly, watching the rapidly approaching Yang Chen, and with a flick of his sleeve, he struck at Yang Chen.

Smack!

Yang Chen was struck by the sleeve, losing control, and was flung out, almost losing his grip on the Yunlai Dagger.

Despite being hit with immense force, Yang Chen’s hand almost lost control.

But just as the Yunlai Dagger was about to slip, Yang Chen gritted his teeth and summoned all his strength to grip the dagger tightly.

On the battlefield, a weapon is everything, even at the cost of life, one cannot lose their weapon!

Thud!

Yang Chen hit the ground hard, sliding far, plowing a deep groove in the leaf-strewn forest.

Seeing this, everyone’s hearts leapt to their throats.

The disparity in strength was still too vast.

The Dragon Tooth Squad, though unaware of Kunze’s strength, saw the distinct gap after their clash, a chasm difficult to bridge.

Ye Xin clenched her fists tighter, watching the battle tensely.

Over at the Shangqing Sect.

Even the first round of confrontation brought smiles to their faces.

True, Yang Chen was strong, like a fierce tiger charging wildly, difficult to subdue.

But who was Kunze?

He was the Sect Master of the Shangqing Sect, with the entire sect’s resources in his grasp, and his cultivation was the most terrifying!

Rumor had it, the Sect Master was a mere step away from forming a Golden Core.

How could Yang Chen, a mere junior in the Transcendent Realm, possibly be Kunze’s match?

In their eyes, Yang Chen was doomed!

Looking again at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen was sent flying by a sleeve, carving a deep groove in the ground, yet as he was about to stop, he flipped to half-kneel, halting his momentum.

He raised his head slightly, staring at Kunze.

Kunze looked down on Yang Chen with slight disdain, "See this? This is pure power! Maybe you feel strong, feel highly gifted, feel invincible. But you forget that besides talent, time is a force capable of reversing anything. Maybe my talent isn’t as good as yours, but I have cultivated longer, and though my aptitude might not be excellent, my cultivation has reached the Grain Avoidance Stage. While you’re just a junior in the Transcendent Realm, thinking you can fight me, it’s overestimating yourself, seeking trouble, bringing about your own doom!"

Yang Chen sneered, slowly standing up, the fighting spirit undiminished, staring at Kunze, "So, I must rely on myself!"

With that, his figure flickered and vanished.

The next moment, Yang Chen appeared beside a tree, charging at Kunze.

But elsewhere, another Yang Chen appeared simultaneously, also charging at Kunze.

Witnessing this, everyone’s eyes widened.

"How is this possible!"

"Bilocation technique?"

"How can this be? Isn’t bilocation a mythological thing? How could it be..."

They couldn’t believe what they saw.

But the reality was before them.

Two Yang Chen appeared simultaneously, attacking Kunze.

Only Dongzi, knowing its intricacies, had pupils sharply contract, staring at the two figures, speaking gravely, "Shadow Step! Shadow Doppelgänger!"

This was the pinnacle of the Shadow Step technique!

Seeing this, Dongzi trembled with excitement.

Kunze also frowned, never having witnessed such a phenomenon.

He stared intently at the two figures, both looking real.

Instantly, Kunze flicked his sleeve again, preparing to send Yang Chen flying as before.

But suddenly! Kunze felt a chilling aura from behind.

Kunze whipped around!

A shadow flashed, while a cold gleam flickered before him.

Kunze’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly flinging Yang Chen away.

But as he attacked, Yang Chen’s figure flickered and vanished!

In that instant, another figure surged forward.

Kunze felt something strange, "Phantom?"

He was slightly puzzled, but still swung his sleeve to strike.

But he didn’t use full force, as if swiping away dust.

Tear!

Kun Bai’s sleeve was torn at the arm!

Feeling the cold sensation, Kunze’s face drastically changed!

"This! How is it possible!" Kunze exclaimed, retreating rapidly, striking with his palm!

The figure dispersed.

Kunze took in a breath of relief. Just as he suspected, it was merely an illusion.

The other doppelgänger approached as expected, dagger slashing at Kunze.

Kunze snorted, flicking his sleeve disdainfully, "Tricks of the trade!"

However, the figure flashed, evading Kunze’s attack, cutting through his sleeve while twisting, and the dagger traced a bizarre arc, slicing toward Kunze’s throat.

Seeing this, Kunze’s pupils contracted sharply. He realized this wasn’t fake; it was real!

Immediately, Kunze hurriedly retreated.

But he was a step late, the dagger didn’t slash the throat, yet it left a gash on Kunze’s face.

A few drops of blood fell as both paused.

Standing before Kunze, it was indeed Yang Chen!

Kunze’s cheek was cut, blood flowing down, but he didn’t care. His eyes fixated on Yang Chen in disbelief, "You, how can you!"

He couldn’t believe Yang Chen had doppelgänger ability!

The sect’s texts didn’t even record such a cultivation technique; how did Yang Chen achieve this?

At first, he thought it was a trick, but it turned out to be real!

It was too incredible!

Everyone was stunned.

The Dragon Tooth Squad was even more astonished, jaws dropping.

"My god, when did the boss learn this move?"

"What ability is this?"

"Never noticed this before!"

"Impressive, boss!"

...

Shangqing Sect.

"Doppelgänger technique! So powerful!"

"How can this be? Even able to injure the Sect Master!"

"This boy absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"

"Incredible, even at the Transcendent Realm, to injure the Grain Avoidance Stage Sect Master, absolutely unbelievable!"

"Are there really such magical abilities in the world?"

"Damn it! He even wounded the Sect Master!"

The Shangqing Sect crowd was astonished and angry.

But Meng Po and the others remained calm, looking at Dongzi.

Dongzi’s eyes fixed on Yang Chen, his cheeks flushed with excitement, "This... the boss... the boss really succeeded! In Shadow Step, there’s a saying that if speed is fast enough, one can form shadow doppelgängers to confuse the opponent! But, if practiced to the extreme, one can use shadow doppelgängers to hide the real body. Actually, the one who snuck behind to attack the Shangqing Sect Master was Yang Chen himself!"

"But, after disappearing on one strike, Yang Chen appeared at another phantom body, after being repelled, Yang Chen went to another doppelgänger. So, in reality, they were all the real body!"
