Chapter 65

  Tang Yin's arms exerted force, but not to block the opponent's incoming sword. Instead, he fiercely stabbed the twin blades in his hands into the ground, thus abandoning his defense.

  Seven swords, coming from seven different angles, simultaneously stabbed into his body. Six of them directly pierced through, but were merely illusions. The remaining one was real, and with a "puchi" sound, the long sword entered Tang Yin's chest.

  The sword was sharp, piercing through his chest armor, the force unabated, entering from the front of his chest, the tip of the sword protruding from his back, fresh blood gushing out along the blood groove of the long sword.

  "Ah——"

  They watched in horror as Tang Yin was stabbed through by the opponent's sword, and the soldiers who were unable to move under the pressure of the spirit let out a cry of surprise, not daring to believe that their invincible battalion commander would die at the hands of an assassin.

  The man in black was shrouded in his spiritual armor, and his expression couldn't be seen, but from his narrowed eyes, it could be discerned that he was smiling at this moment, however, his smile only lasted for half a second.

  Tang Yin did not die, at least he was not stabbed to death immediately, his vitality has always been very strong.

  Without a double-edged sword in hand, a raging dark flame ignited from his palm, and he struck like lightning, grabbing the black-robed man's neck with one hand.

  He wanted to use the Dark Flame to burn off the spiritual armor on his opponent's body, but he underestimated the spiritual cultivation of the man in black.

  His dark flames burned on the opponent's soul armor, only making a hissing strange sound, but the soul armor was not damaged at all.

  The man in black did not expect that Tang Yin, after being stabbed by a sword, could still move and even release the dark fire. Fortunately, his cultivation was far inferior to his own, and he could not break through the spiritual armor's protection of his body.

  "Haha——"

  The man in black let out a shrill laugh and withdrew his arm, wanting to pull the sword out of Tang Yin's body.

  At this moment, Tang Yin's other hand suddenly curved and poked towards his eyes.

  He used the Eagle Claw technique.

  This move was beyond the black-clad man's expectations, he thought Tang Yin had already used his last trump card, but unexpectedly he still had the strength to make such a ruthless and vicious move.

  The man in black wanted to retreat with his sword, but it was too late. He had no choice but to abandon his long sword.

  But he forgot one thing, Tang Yin's hand grasped his neck tightly, as if it had grown on him. He retreated, and Tang Yin followed forward. When the man in black suddenly realized that something was wrong, Tang Yin's fingers were already pinched in front of his eyes.

  "Ah..." The man in black involuntarily let out a cry of surprise.

  With just a "pfft" sound, Tang Yin's two fingers were like iron hooks, poking into the black-robed man's eyeballs and deeply stabbing into his brain. At the same time, the dark fire slid along his fingertips into the black-robed man's body.

  This is truly burning from the inside out.

  The dark fire incinerated the internal organs of the black-robed man in an instant, followed by his muscles and bones, and finally his flesh and skin.

  Without making any outcry, the black-clad man's armor fell off, and his skin had turned dark brown. Before long, he vanished into thin air, along with his six doppelgangers, leaving behind only wisps of black smoke drifting in the void.

  Tang Yin drew back his hand and grasped the long sword stuck in his chest, pulling it out with force.

  Every time he pulled out a little, there was fresh blood spraying out, and even the strong Tang Yin couldn't help but throw his head back and let out a loud roar.

  The people around, whether they were black-clad assassins or the hundreds of Fengguo soldiers, were all stunned. They had never seen a scene like this before, nor had they ever seen someone like Tang Yin, who was simply like a monster.

  Dong Dong!

  The long sword was finally pulled out by him, thrown to the ground, and made a crisp sound. Next, the black smoke floating in the air seemed to have life, all of which enveloped Tang Yan, continuously drilling into his body from his mouth, nose, fine pores all over his body, and the wound on his chest.

  This surge of spiritual energy was too enormous for Tang Yin at the moment, and as the spiritual energy continued to pour in, he slowly crouched down.

  If he didn't have his spiritual armor on him at this time, the people around him would definitely be scared by his appearance.

  His entire body's blood vessels bulged, protruding high from under his skin, like the roots of an old tree covering his whole body. Every single pore on his skin was oozing out beads of blood, turning his skin a deep crimson color. It seemed as if tens of thousands of ants were gnawing inside him, and his muscles and bones felt as if they had been broken inch by inch. The pain was absolutely unbearable for any normal person.

  "Ah——"

  Tang Yin knelt on the ground, looked up at the sky and wailed, then his body swayed a few times, fell forward, and lay motionless on the ground.

  "Ah!" A burst of exclamations erupted around, people's eyes widened in shock, staring at Tang Yin who stood motionless, almost forgetting to breathe.

  Could he also be dead?

  He was stabbed through the heart by his opponent, a fatal wound for anyone, but the soldiers hoped that Tang Yin could still survive and create an incredible miracle as he had done before.

  Time seems to have stood still.

  It was unclear how much time had passed, perhaps only a few seconds, but it seemed like several centuries. Tang Yin, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly moved and slowly got up. His body still wore thick spiritual armor, but the wound on his chest had healed completely, and the damaged spiritual armor had been repaired.

  He suddenly lifted his hanging head, and his eyes, filled with dark mist and flickering with a faint light, stared straight at the remaining three men in black.

  Those eyes were cold and piercing. For no reason, the hearts of the three men in black jumped at the same time, a chill ran from their toes to the hair on their heads.

  "I can also use the art of duplication!"

  Tang Yin's tone was even colder than his gaze.

  As the voice faded, a surge of spiritual energy burst out and concentrated on his body. In the blink of an eye, another person appeared beside him, identical to him in every way, with the same black armor, the same chilling gaze, and the same cold, sinister aura emanating from their body.

  This is the Shadow Clone in the Dark System Spirit Martial Skill.

  Shadow Clone and Shadow Travel, Shadow Curse are also known as the three major skills of the 'Shadow System' in the Dark Spirit Martial Arts.

  Tang Yin stood still on the spot, slowly pulling out the two knives that had been stuck in the ground, while his illusory duplicate walked straight towards the three men in black.

  The three men in black were all startled, it was the first time they had seen a Dark Cultivator who could also create an illusory clone, and before this, they hadn't even heard of such a thing.

  As they watched Tang Yin's doppelganger approach them, the three people's tense emotions slowly calmed down.

  The clone is just an illusion, which can only serve to disrupt the enemy's line of sight and can also be used to scare people, but the illusion after all is not the real body, it itself cannot harm anyone.

  Tang Yin's doppelganger walked up to the three men in black, stretched out his hands, and ignited dark flames in his palms.

  One of them in black sneered and shouted: "Do you think you can scare us with your clone? Do you take us for fools?"

  Tang Yin smiled, his mouth corners rising high, but unfortunately the other party couldn't see his smile, only seeing the spiritual armor mask on his face.

  As soon as the black-clad man's words fell, Tang Yin's split hands suddenly grabbed his neck.

  The moment he came into contact with his doppelganger, the man in black immediately realized that he was wrong, terribly wrong. The doppelganger before him was not an illusion, but a real entity.

  But it's too late now, and there's no point in realizing this.

  Dark flames shot from his neck and spread throughout his body, scorching and incinerating him.

  Until his death, Hei Yifu did not understand why Tang Yin's transformed clone was a physical entity and not an illusion.

  In fact, this is the difference between Dark System Spirit Martial Arts and Bright System Spirit Martial Arts.

  Unlike Shadow Clone Jutsu, the separated entity is indeed a physical body, not an illusion. However, this physical body is completely composed of spiritual energy, which requires more spiritual energy to be consumed and cannot transform into multiple clones like Wind Splitter Clone Jutsu. After casting Dark Shadow Clone, the spiritual energy of the Dark Cultivator is almost exhausted, all transferred to the clone.

  The effects of Shadow Clone and Wind Style: Shuriken Jutsu are different, the latter can be applied in actual combat to disrupt the opponent's line of sight, while the former is not. Using Shadow Clone reduces one's own combat power and makes it impossible to fight again. The user often uses a clone to replace themselves to do something dangerous, even if they get killed, only the clone dies.

  After the avatar is killed, the inner and outer sects of the Dark Cultivation Practitioner are different. When the outer sect's avatar is killed, the spiritual energy that makes up the avatar will disappear, while when the inner sect's avatar is killed, the spiritual energy will return to the practitioner's body, having little impact on them. In this regard, the inner sect has an absolute advantage, but as mentioned earlier, the inner sect of the Dark Spiritual Martial Arts is something that very few people can come into contact with, and even if one cultivates it, there is a high possibility of being counterattacked by the Dark Fire and dying prematurely.

  Tang Yin's doppelganger suddenly killed the black-clad man with dark flames, and then frantically absorbed the lingering spiritual energy in the air. After absorbing it all, a thick black mist naturally emanated from his body, and the spirit armor on his fingers burst forth, transforming his palms into sharp claws.

  The other two men in black were also stunned, and for them, everything that was happening before their eyes was too incredible to comprehend.

  How can an illusory clone possibly use skills? And how can it possibly kill with skills? Unseen, unheard.

  When the doppelganger turned its body towards them, the two of them looked as if they had seen a monster and let out a simultaneous cry of surprise. They didn't even think about releasing their spiritual pressure anymore, each of them withdrawing their spirit energy and taking two steps back before turning around to run without saying a word to each other.

  Two men in black moved extremely fast, and after a few leaps, their figures vanished into the night.

  "General Tang!"

  After the two of them left, there was no longer any spiritual pressure in the air, and all the soldiers returned to normal, free to move about. At this time, they all ran towards Tang Yin together, and when they reached his side, each one looked like they wanted to get close but didn't dare.

  Tang Yin looked around at everyone, although he didn't say anything, but seeing that his brothers were all right, he still let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

  He looked up at his own illusory clone, without issuing any orders, the caster and the clone were mentally connected, and the clone quickly returned to Tang Yin's side.

  The most mysterious things are the most frightening and can evoke the greatest fear.

  The soldiers did not know what this monster that looked exactly like Tang Yin but could kill was, and they retreated in shock.

  After dividing his body and approaching Tang Yin's side, he solidified the virtual and finally dispersed into a thick black fog, returning to Tang Yin's body.

  He immediately ordered: "Notify the brothers outside the city to seal off Wan City immediately, only allowing entry and not exit!"
