I Have Countless Clones

A hint of doubt flashed across Lin Shen’s eyes.

What kind of monsters were they?

Lin Shen still wanted to ask, but the Military Bugs were already less than ten meters away from him. Having no other choice, he could only stop and turn around to fight.

!!

Under the night sky, the densely packed Military Bugs formed a formation and charged forward like a black tide. The weapons in their hands flickered coldly and were terrifying!

Lin Shen took a deep breath and suddenly opened his mouth to shout.

In an instant, a clear roar that sounded like a dragon’s roar burst out. Countless solid sound waves swept forward like ripples and hit the swarm of insects that were charging over.

The charging Military Bugs seemed to have collided with a huge wall. The twenty-odd Military Bugs at the front didn’t even have time to scream before they exploded into a blood mist that filled the sky!

The soundwaves continued to charge into the bugs and instantly shattered their formation!

“Hide!”

Lin Shen pulled Ai off his shoulder and threw her onto the wall on his right. Then, he jumped out and took advantage of the chaos of the Military Bugs’ formation. He used the Blazing Sun Palm to turn more than ten Military Bugs into charcoal.

After exchanging a few blows, Lin Shen quickly realized these Military Bugs weren’t as powerful as he had expected.

Although they were faster than the wind, and their weapons were sharp, they were at most at the third or fourth level of Qi Transformation.

To Lin Shen, one palm was enough to kill one. With the Blazing Sun Palm, he could kill a large number of bugs with one strike. It didn’t seem to be as scary as Ai said.

However, on second thought, he realized the Military Bugs might not be especially powerful individually, but they had an astonishing number and could even form a formation to charge at their enemies!

If Lin Shen hadn’t used the Dragon Roar Through the Clouds to break the charge of the Military Bug, he might have been flustered and in danger even though he was at the ninth level of the Qi Transformation Stage.

Once these Military Bugs appeared on a large scale, they would still be very troublesome for ordinary Qi Transformation cultivators.

“There should be someone controlling the Military Bug. Who could it be? Luo Yi?”

Lin Shen thought quickly in his mind as he killed the Military Bugs.

After the early-stage chaos, the Military Bugs quickly reorganized their attacks.

Under the command of a small number of Military Bugs that were clearly larger, the swarm quickly dispersed. They either shot arrows from afar, attacked from the front, or climbed along the wall to sneak up behind Lin Shen.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Military Bugs formed an airtight encirclement and attacked Lin Shen fearlessly!

However, Lin Shen remained calm and composed in the face of the tidal wave of attacks from the Military Bugs.

With the Protection Talisman, he didn’t need to care about the arrows and sneak attacks of the Military Bugs. The bugs couldn’t break through the protection of the Protection Talisman.

He only needed to kill the Military Bugs around him with all his might.

When too many Military Bugs surrounded him, Lin Shen would immediately use the Dragon Roar Through the Clouds to push back the surrounding bugs and break out of the circle.

After a few times, the army of bugs didn’t hurt Lin Shen at all. Instead, nearly 200 of them were killed, and they suffered heavy losses!

Seeing that if this continued, the army of bugs would be wiped out before they could kill Lin Shen, the mastermind finally couldn’t sit still anymore.

Screech!

A sharp flute sound suddenly rang out.

The moment they heard the voice, the remaining Military Bugs froze and retreated without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, they retreated to a spot about 30 meters away from Lin Shen. Then, they parted like a tide, clearing a path, and a figure slowly walked out.

Under the moonlight, Lin Shen quickly saw the person’s face.

The man looked to be about 35 years old. His face was thin and slightly pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he had just stayed up for two days.

He was also a little gloomy. The way he looked at Lin Shen was as cold as a poisonous snake.

“No wonder you’re the chief disciple of the Nine Yang Academy this year. You do have some strength. Even my Military Bugs can’t do anything to you!” The man sneered.

Just then, a small head suddenly popped out from the wall next to him. It was Ai.

She pointed at the man and shouted, “Lin Shen, this bad guy is Luo Yi!”

Lin Shen’s eyes flickered.

The one chasing them was indeed the leader of the Night Grinders!

As soon as Ai finished speaking, Luo Yi’s cold eyes swept over like lightning, scaring Ai so much that her head shrank back.

But very quickly, she remembered she still had Lin Shen on her side, and her courage instantly increased. She stuck her head out again and snorted angrily.

“You awful man! Don’t even think about taking me back!”

Unexpectedly, Luo Yi smiled disdainfully when he heard that.

“Stupid cat, do you really think I’m here for you? You’re overestimating yourself!”

Lin Shen’s expression changed, and he was a little surprised.

Wasn’t Luo Yi here to capture Ai?

As if sensing Lin Shen’s confusion, Luo Yi chuckled.

“No one works in a low-profit industry like catching and selling spiritual cats anymore. I’ve long changed professions. My new employer pays me well. The reward for capturing a cultivator is hundreds of thousands of spirit coins. How about that? Isn’t it very generous?”

In the end, Luo Yi stared at Lin Shen with a sinister smile.

Lin Shen frowned slightly. “Are you here for me?”

“Bingo!”

Luo Yi snapped his fingers.

As if he felt victory was in his grasp, Luo Yi wanted to enjoy the expression of a mouse caught by a cat. He actually had the mood to explain to Lin Shen.

“Someone finds you talented and has taken a fancy to your body, so they offered three million spirit coins to buy your life!

...

“The top freshman is indeed a valuable title. Your price is also several times higher than others!”

As soon as he said this, Ai, who was on the wall, was shocked before Lin Shen could react.

Three… three million?!

How much canned cat food could Lin Shen buy with that amount of money?

Was Lin Shen that valuable?

Ai widened her eyes and looked at Lin Shen in admiration. The latter in her eyes suddenly became especially majestic.

Lin Shen didn’t know what Ai was thinking. After hearing Luo Yi’s words, he was shocked.

It sounded like someone wanted to do something with his body!

Unorthodox cultivation techniques? Pills refined from human flesh? Weapons filled with human souls?

Many speculations flashed across Lin Shen’s mind.

At this moment, Luo Yi, who hadn’t been able to see any panic or fear on Lin Shen’s face, finally lost his patience. He stopped talking nonsense with Lin Shen and charged forward with his weapon in hand. He sneered and pounced at Lin Shen.

...

Luo Yi’s weapon was a horizontal saber that reflected a cold light under the moonlight.

As he slashed the saber, quicksand-like saber energy immediately appeared in the air and attacked Lin Shen ferociously.

Quicksand Saber Manual!

Lin Shen immediately recognized the saber technique Luo Yi was using.

Quicksand Saber Manual and Raging Waves Sect’s Blue Wave Saber were the two most widely practiced saber techniques in Dragonside City.

Of course, this didn’t mean those saber techniques weren’t strong.

On the contrary, Quicksand Saber Manual was said to be comprehended by an expert from the unforeseen circumstances and despair in the desert. The saber technique constantly sought life from the extreme, so it was unpredictable and impossible to guard against.
