Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 690 Dead?

"Pfft-"

A sharp tearing sound pierced the tense air above the ring, and a dark golden slash, carrying unparalleled power, pierced through Tomie's body with the force of thunder.

In an instant, Tomie's body seemed to be split into two by an invisible giant axe.

A large amount of blood gushed out of her body like a raging fountain. The bright red liquid drew shocking arcs in the air and fell on the hard ring, quickly gathering into a pool of blood. A strong smell of blood began to spread in the air.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a body split in half fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of choking dust.

Dead? Did this member of the Witch Cult die so easily?
This thought was like a stone that stirred up thousands of waves in everyone's hearts. This kind of thing, let alone the experienced and meticulous captain of Mingyu Sect, even the ordinary audiences in the audience would not easily believe it.

After all, the weirdness and strength displayed by the Witch Cult in this competition has made no one dare to underestimate it. How could they send out a member who could be defeated so easily?
As the referee, Zheng Zhan immediately released his powerful mental power without reservation, like a big net, covering the entire arena.

Even he would not believe that the Witch Cult, a group of eccentric and cruel people, would send out a character who was purely here to die.

Yes, she was sending herself to die. Looking back at the entire battle, facing Cain's series of fierce and deadly attacks, Tomie's performance was too abnormal. She did not show any of the strength and adaptability that a Soul Emperor should have.

Not to mention actively attacking, she didn't even make the most basic defensive and evasive moves. This performance was like stepping onto the ring specifically to let the opponent do whatever he wanted, to complete a farce of committing suicide.

"Jie—"

The dark gold three-headed bat king flapped its powerful wings quickly, stirring up a gust of wind and quickly rising into the air. It let out a sharp scream, and invisible sound waves spread out from its mouth like sharp blades.

This is the inherent ability of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King’s martial spirit: ultrasonic detection!

"No no."

As the ultrasound waves covered the entire arena without any blind spots, Cain's heart became inexplicably heavy.

With her special detection ability, there was no other life reaction on the entire ring except the referee Zheng Zhan who exuded a strong breath of life.

Could it be that the spirit ring on that witch cult member was really just for show, and she was really killed so easily by me?
This thought couldn't help but emerge in Cain's mind, but he recalled the strange smile on Tomie's face when she attacked him before.

An inexplicable sense of uneasiness surged in her heart, as if a pair of eyes were hiding in the darkness, watching everything coldly.

Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed in the eyes of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, and then the sixth black soul ring on its body suddenly lit up, emitting a mysterious and dangerous light.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Blood Thorn Dance."

I saw blood as real as substance emerging from the body of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King. The blood seemed to have life and quickly turned into sharp spikes, shooting towards the already broken body of Tomie above the ring.

Although the ultrasonic detection showed no sign of life in the corpse, there were innumerable strange martial spirits and soul skills in the world of soul masters, and no one could guarantee that Tomie did not have any special abilities hidden.

Cain didn't know what Tomie's martial soul was, but when she used the Blood Shadow Doll just now, she did absorb rich blood energy from this body, which fully proved that Tomie's body was definitely a real entity.

What Cain has to do now is to completely smash the corpse into meat paste to eliminate all potential threats.

Unless Tomie possesses a soul skill similar to immortality, if her body is smashed into a pulp, even if she pretends to be dead, she will actually die.

"Bang bang bang!"

Endless blood thorns swept towards the ground like a swarm of crazy bees. They easily penetrated Tomie's body and turned her into a sieve.

Then, under Cain's precise control, these blood thorns were like sharp blades, tearing the corpse into pieces bit by bit.

The whole process went extremely smoothly. The scene that Cain expected, that Tomie would suddenly resurrect and then hide, did not appear. Everything seemed so calm, so calm that it was a little weird.

"Heh-heh-heh, this should be enough."

Cain, who had transformed into the dark gold three-headed bat king, has returned to his original appearance. He is actually a very pretty girl with an extremely pale face.

The reason why she was able to display abilities similar to her martial soul's true body was due to the six metal rings that appeared on her body at the beginning.

Those are six level five soul guides, but they are a set. They can greatly stimulate the power contained in the soul master's martial soul, thereby achieving the effect of improving soul power.

Cain was already a Soul Emperor. In one attempt, he was able to use this metal ring to stimulate the power of his martial soul. How could he not be happy? He immediately gave up his original melee soul guide and devoted himself to practicing this set of metal rings.

Originally, this ability existed as a trump card, and it shouldn't have been exposed so early, but the people of the witch cult were too weird. So in order to avoid a setback, Cain used this ability without hesitation.

But this is after all an activated martial soul avatar, and compared to the real martial soul avatar, she can only exert 60% of her strength. But in terms of soul power consumption, it is no less than the real martial soul avatar.

"Can you only stimulate it once more?"

Cain silently sensed her remaining soul power, and then made a judgment. According to her remaining soul power, she could only activate the pseudo-martial soul body once more.

But this is enough. Even if their Mingyu Sect cannot defeat the Witch Cult, they must at least kill one or two members of the other side to avenge her brother.

"The blood of that woman named Tomie seems to be somewhat peculiar. Not only does it contain the blood essence of a Soul Emperor, but it is also very easy to absorb."

Cain stuck out his tongue and gently licked his red lips, sensing the essence and blood of Tomie that he had just swallowed.

Possessing such a powerful and special martial soul as the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, she had often used the Blood Shadow Doll as a soul skill to maliciously kill people in previous battles, and then devoured the opponent's blood to enhance her own strength.

Of course, she did this kind of shady thing very secretly. In addition, as a core disciple of Mingyu Sect, she had the secret protection of the sect elders, so even though she had practiced until now, she was not defined as an evil soul master.

However, in the past, when she swallowed the essence and blood, even if it was the essence and blood of a Soul King whose cultivation was lower than hers, it always took her a very long time to digest it slowly.

However, the blood essence of Tomie that she had just devoured was completely different. It was as if the blood essence had a natural fit with her, and was easily absorbed by her. Cain could even clearly feel that his soul power was constantly increasing. The soul power of the original level 69 reached its peak in the blink of an eye.

She secretly estimated in her heart that after today's competition, she would practice in seclusion for a period of time, and then she would be able to successfully break through to level 70 and become a Soul Sage.

"It's a pity."

Cain looked at Tomie's body, which was torn into pieces on the ground, with a trace of regret in his eyes. If he had not used his soul skill to smash the body to pieces, but had chosen to suck the blood out of it, she would probably have reached level 70 directly.

Thinking of this, Cain couldn't help but shook his head and said with some annoyance: "Forget it, there are other opportunities anyway."

Unlike other participating teams, the Witch Cult was almost universally hated and became the target of public criticism in this competition. Even if she deliberately killed members of the other team during the competition, the public would only cheer for her and regard her as a hero.

Such a great opportunity to kill the opponent openly and honestly is rare, so she must seize it.

Thinking of this, Cain turned his gaze to Zheng Zhan and said, "Referee, I think it's time to announce the result of the match."

Zheng Zhan slowly withdrew his mental power that covered the entire arena. No matter how carefully he scanned the arena with his mental power, there was really no other living thing on the arena except Cain.

Did he really die so hastily?
Zheng Zhan's heart was still full of doubts, but as a referee, he had to act according to the rules.

So, he took a deep breath, walked to Cain's side, slowly raised his left hand, and announced loudly: "Individual elimination match 4, Mingyu Sect wins! Please ask the Witch Cult to send the next contestant to the stage."

Won? Was it really that easy to win?!
When the people of the Sun Moon Empire heard this result, they couldn't believe their ears for a moment. But the next moment, they all burst into deafening cheers, cheering for the victory of the Mingyu Sect.

Because the Mingyu Sect is the top sect in the Sun and Moon Empire and is also quite popular in Mingdu.

Now that the other party has dealt with the people of the Witch Cult so easily, the people of the Sun and Moon Empire have finally gotten rid of their anger.

This is the pride of their Sun Moon Empire! Even if they face such a terrifying opponent as the evil spirit master, what does it matter? The spirit masters of their Sun Moon Empire are invincible!
The people's emotions were completely ignited. They cheered for Cain and at the same time booed in the direction of the Witch Cult. The boos were full of disdain and disgust.

……

The Tang Clan is in the battle zone.

He Caitou's face was filled with disbelief, and his voice unconsciously rose a few notches: "Dead? That member of the Witch Cult died so easily?"

After saying this, he cast an inquiring gaze towards the frowning Huo Yuhao, "Junior Brother, have you figured out anything? Could it be that the captain of the Mingyu Sect is really that strong?"

Huo Yuhao nodded slowly. “Yes, Second Brother. In my spiritual detection, the woman named Tomie is indeed dead. Whether above the ring or underground, I didn’t feel that she is still alive.”

Even so, Huo Yuhao showed a puzzled look on his face. He admitted that the captain of the Mingyu Sect was very strong. The power displayed by the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's true form was so powerful that even in their Tang Sect team, there were only a few who could win a one-on-one fight.

However, the member of the Witch Cult who was also a Soul Emperor should not have acted so weak. After all, he had reached the Soul Emperor level, so he should have put up some resistance. How could he be killed so easily? This was totally unreasonable.

Xu Sanshi sighed slightly, with a trace of regret on his face: "Alas, it's a pity for such a beautiful girl. She was so pretty, but in the end she died without a complete body."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Nannan looked at him coldly and snorted, "Since you feel so sorry for that member of the Witch Cult, why don't you join them? Maybe there are other pretty girls there."

Xu Sanshi panicked when he heard this. He licked his face and approached Jiang Nannan with a flattering smile on his face: "How can that be possible! Although the member of the Witch Cult is good-looking, she is nothing compared to you, Nannan. The world can bear witness to my sincerity towards you."

His confession caused everyone to laugh, but Jiang Nannan still looked at him with some disdain, then took two steps back and said disdainfully: "Hey! Stay away from me."

"Nannan..." Xu Sanshi wanted to explain something else, but was interrupted by everyone's laughter.

"Haha."

Looking at Xu Sanshi's humble smile, the others couldn't help but smile. Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan are really a pair of happy enemies.

Huo Yuhao’s expression also relaxed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smile: “Okay, everyone should just focus on watching the game. No matter who wins or loses between the Witch Cult and the Mingyu Sect, there will probably be a lot of casualties. This is also a good thing for us.”

In this fiercely competitive tournament, losses on either side would mean that the Tangmen team would lose a strong opponent in subsequent games.

"Yeah." Hearing this, the others nodded and turned their attention back to the arena.

……

"next."

Above the ring, Zheng Zhan looked at the motionless Witch Cult waiting area and couldn't help feeling confused and impatient.

His voice, enhanced by his soul power, was clearly heard throughout the entire arena, so he urged again, "Witch Cult Team, please send out your next member as soon as possible."

The progress of the game came to a brief standstill due to the Witch Cult's indifference, and the audience's attention was focused on the Witch Cult's waiting area.

"Oh yeah, the next member?"

The leader of the Witch Cult, Sloth, couldn't help but tilt his head, with a weird and mysterious expression on his face, "What are you talking about, referee? Tomie from our team is still on the ring, why did you decide that we lost the fourth game?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Zheng Zhan subconsciously used his mental power to cover the entire arena.

This time, he probed every corner of the ring more carefully. No matter whether it was the air above the ring or the soil beneath the ground, there were no extra biological reactions.

Then, Zheng Zhan's face darkened, and he looked at Sloth unkindly, and said in a cold voice: "Leader of the Witch Cult, please stop talking nonsense and disrupting the order of the competition."

"Since you said that contestant Tomie Kawakami is not dead, could you please let her show up? If she is still alive, then the game can go on. If not, then I will regard your behavior as a provocation to the rules of the competition and punish you."
