Chapter 315 - Ultimate Divine Fire Clone

The dwarves left Goldfish Island dejectedly. They felt unlucky as their beautiful dream had been popped like a bubble.

One of the dwarves at the Fifth River Stage was dissatisfied. “Zhongzhen, are we just going to slip away like this? There are so many pretty ladies there. Moreover, the villagers have killed members of our family!”

“Idiot! We can’t afford to provoke the Ninth Prince! Don’t mention this again, or you’ll regret it! Understand!?” Zhongzhen scolded.

“Yes, yes!” The dwarf shut his mouth, but he was still dissatisfied. Zhongzhen was right, their family could not afford to provoke the Ninth Prince. The imperial family members were not to be trifled with.

A gust of leaves suddenly appeared in front of them along with a person. The massive aura coming off from that person pushed back everyone except for Song Zhongzhen.

“Patriarch!”

After seeing who it was, everyone immediately kneeled down except for Song Zhongzhen, who was the Patriarch’s brother. Still, he dared not act haughty and asked timidly, “Brother, what are you doing here? I followed your order to destroy Goldfish Island, but the Ninth Prince prevented us from doing so. We were just about to head back ... Brother, why are you making that face?”

Song Zhongzhen was halfway through his explanation when he noticed that his brother looked extremely gloomy. The murderous intent emanating from his eyes was terrifying.

“Brother, what happened?” Song Zhongzhen felt uneasy.

“Yuefeng was killed in the Counter Essence Realm!” Song Zhongcheng spat out before running past them towards Goldfish Island. Song Zhongzhen failed to process what his brother had said until the latter completely disappeared.

“What?! Yuefeng was killed?!” Song Zhongzhen was surprised. Song Yuefeng was his brother’s most beloved son, and he was handsome too. To think a pure-blooded dwarf had been killed!

“Shit! Who’s the culprit?!” Song Zhongzhen howled and punched a tree to his side, obliterating it the next instant. The tree fell and crushed some of the dwarves.

But Song Zhongzhen did not care.

“Brother must be chasing the culprit. Everyone, follow me to take revenge for Song Yuefeng! I will dismember the person who dared to kill our young master!”

The dwarves ran back to Goldfish Island like a group of ravenous beasts.

The Ninth Prince stopped attacking out of shock when Xiaolang released all 125 Divine Fire Clones. Each of them was only slightly weaker than the original, and they completely filled up the area!

“Be careful!” The Ninth Prince couldn’t react in time. He knew that Divine Fire Clone only had three stages, but the beast was clearly using a fourth stage. But more importantly, how had a beast learned a divine technique that only humans could comprehend?

If someone told him about this, he would’ve thought they were crazy, but he had no choice but to believe his own eyes.

The 125 clones appeared so suddenly that Elder Yan failed to react too.

All of them howled, causing the heavens to shake. They launched themselves at Elder Yan without any reservations. Since Xiaolang was a Category Four, each of the clones was equal to a Third River Stage cultivator!

Even someone at the Sixth River Stage would die if they were ambushed by 125 Third River Stage cultivators. The Ninth Prince tried to save Elder Yan, but Long Chen blocked him.

“Why are you in a rush? Your opponent is me. Elder Yan will die, and so will you!” Long Chen had been preparing his technique ever since Xiaolang used the fourth stage of Divine Fire Clone.

“Go away!” The Ninth Prince was short on words as he slashed at Long Chen. A whip of flame made from the Fire Essence flew at him.

It was a technique stronger than the intermediate Earth-tier technique Crimson Land!

“Nine Spinning Fire Shields!” Long Chen extended both hands and revealed a fire shield rotating at great speeds. He dispersed the Ninth Prince’s attack and used his body to block his foe again. He then thrust the Azure Dragon Halberd at the Ninth Prince’s head!

If the Ninth Prince did not stop, the halberd would pierce through his skull!

“Die, Long Chen!” Elder Yan’s life was at stake, but Long Chen was preventing the Ninth Prince from assisting him! This made the Ninth Prince truly angry! He said nothing as flames exploded from his body, forming twenty-five fiery clones. It was the same technique as Long Chen’s!

He wanted to stop Long Chen with the clones, or maybe even kill him. Elder Yan was the Ninth Prince’s most loyal subordinate, and he couldn’t allow him to die at the hands of someone like Long Chen. His reputation would be in shambles if word got back to the city.

The Ninth Prince’s clones surrounded Long Chen.

But the Ninth Prince failed to notice something. Where had the 125 fire clones of Xiaolang come from? Had the beast learned the technique on its own in the ruins?

“Did you think that the reason I cultivated Divine Fire Clone was to serve you?” Long Chen laughed, and flames exploded from his body too. The Divine Fire Seed expanded and surrounded Long Chen.

Numerous fire clones, equal in number to Xiaolang’s clones, revealed themselves around Long Chen. That meant Long Chen was equally or even stronger than Mo Xiaolang in terms of mastery over Divine Fire Clone.

Long Chen had cultivated the fourth stage while he was patrolling the Counter Essence Realm. It was his trump card and the reason why he dared to face the Ninth Prince. When Long Chen saw that Mo Xiaolang had used Divine Fire Clone to kill Elder Yan, he knew it was time to reveal his own clones too.

“The true Divine Fire Clone has four stages, and the person who obtained the real inheritance was me! Your version with only three stages was a defective one!” Long Chen laughed as he directed all 125 clones to run towards the Ninth Prince.

Even though the Ninth Prince’s clones were stronger, they could not fight against the sheer number of Long Chen’s clones.

The Ninth Prince finally learned the truth and realized that he had been tricked by Long Chen in Yuanling City. He thought he had pushed Long Chen into a corner, but now he was being pushed back instead! Feeling embarrassed because he had boasted to Ling Xi and called Long Chen useless, he let out a furious roar.

“No one has ever angered me as much as you! Long Chen, I will never stop hating you even after you die!” The 125 fire clones had surrounded him, so the Ninth Prince could no longer afford to help Elder Yan. He controlled his clones and fought against Long Chen’s clones.

Flames flew everywhere. Chen Feng and Chen Lei were stunned. They thought Long Chen and Xiaolang would be defeated; they never expected a battle of this scale to break out.

Ling Xi was surprised too.

The youth who had created miracle after miracle was currently hiding amongst the clones as he ran towards the Ninth Prince. His eyes were filled with unyielding strength, showing no hint of fear or retreat.

Long Chen’s 125 clones clashed with the Ninth Prince’s clones. The exploding flames hurt everyone’s eyes.

Xiaolang finally managed to use his clones to suppress Elder Yan. Although they could not kill him, suppressing him was good enough. Xiaolang instantly ran towards Elder Yan and exhaled a breath of the Nine Devil Ancestral Fire, engulfing the latter as he stared in shock.

Crackle!

The sound of ice cracking sounded ceaselessly. When the Nine Devil Ancestral Fire stopped burning, Elder Yan was nothing but an ice statue. Xiaolang’s clones touched it gently, and Elder Yan disintegrated into black dust.

The Ninth Prince saw that Elder Yan was dead!

His most trusted subordinate, one that was at the Sixth River Stage, was dead because of Xiaolang. The Ninth Prince finally felt fear. His scalp went numb when he saw Long Chen’s cold glare and the 125 fire clones.

“Impossible!” the Ninth Prince shouted in fear and desperation. He refused to believe that Long Chen could oppose him!

“Both you and the beast must die! Ling Xi is mine!”

“Take your delusions down to hell!” Long Chen’s voice came from beside the Ninth Prince. The clones had successfully brought down the defense of the Ninth Prince’s clones and launched suicidal attacks at the Ninth Prince.

“You think these things can kill me?!” The Ninth Prince waved his sword around, destroying a few clones in a single slash.

But the time to kill the Ninth Prince was now!
