As everyone's swords were drawn and tension hung heavy in the air, Chu Tian suddenly uttered these words.
This caused everyone to glance at him in surprise.
Gao Kai, Zhao Lei, and Jing Kaiyu were momentarily stunned.
The Southeast Warzone's Arrow God… Yu.
This title was quite renowned in the Heavenly Dao World.
During the novice village period, using his own wealth alone,
He had driven the price of gold coins in his novice village to a point where one silver coin was equivalent to… thousands of yuan.
Moreover, this Yu… was currently on a winning streak in the Southeast Warzone.
Although he didn't possess the fame of Chu Tian De Shen, which made him a household name worldwide, he was undoubtedly the top dog in the Southeast Warzone.
After all… he was wealthy!
"How did you know?" Zheng Enlai, hiding behind his coffin-faced clone, asked in astonishment.
"It really is you…!" Chu Tian narrowed his eyes.
During the earlier fight, Chu Tian had noticed the opponent's peculiar footwork.
His evasive movements when outnumbered, and his attack patterns,
Had already led Chu Tian to suspect his identity.
Of course, the geographical location also played a part.
This was indeed a divided region of the Southeast Warzone.
Chu Tian had witnessed his footwork once in his previous life.
Chu Tian gazed at Zheng Enlai's main body, then at his clone.
The one with the expressionless face, like a coffin lid.
The originally cold expression suddenly shifted.
"If you are Feather God, then I shall not disturb you any further!" With that, he made a gesture as if to retreat.
His action caused everyone to freeze in surprise.
Clearly, no one had anticipated Chu Tian's sudden change in attitude.
Even Wei Du, who was blocking his path, reacted a beat late.
Because he had been closest to Chu Tian.
When he had asked who the opponent was… Yu, a hint of killing intent had clearly emanated from him.
When the opponent asked back, that killing intent erupted instantly.
But it vanished just as quickly.
At that moment, Wei Du thought Chu Tian was about to bite off more than he could chew.
He had already mustered all his power, prepared to fight against that freakish clone.
He never expected Chu Tian to simply retreat.
And retreat so decisively.
Wei Du, staring at the opponent's clone, slowly backed away as well.
The scenario he had imagined did not unfold.
The coffin-faced individual did not pursue.
"Hey, what are you thinking? Attack them for me! I want them dead…"
Instead, Zheng Enlai's main body, seeing Chu Tian float away,
Leapt out from behind his clone, pointing at Chu Tian and shouting.
Hearing his words, everyone instantly became tense.
"As long as you're not dead, what does anything else matter to me?"
To everyone's surprise, the clone, with a blank expression, replied to its main body.
"You… you you dare disobey me…
Believe it or not, I'll absorb you back into my main body and erase your spiritual consciousness!"
Zheng Enlai's face darkened upon hearing this.
"If you're not afraid of bursting that useless body of yours, then go ahead and absorb me!"
The coffin-faced clone said calmly.
"I…" Zheng Enlai's main body's face turned pitch black, his eyes filled with endless resentment and fury.
Chu Tian, being escorted back by the crowd, heard this and his eyes flickered.
He mused inwardly: Is that how it is?
If his main body isn't harmed, this freakish clone won't act?
It seems this clone is a cultivation fanatic…
As he thought this, his gaze shifted towards Old Yang.
Old Yang seemed to have had the same realization.
Extending his hand, he tossed the person he was holding.
This was none other than the combined form of the other two clones of Zheng Enlai they had captured earlier.
"What are you doing?" Zheng Enlai's eyes changed as he saw Chu Tian and the others' actions.
During the previous battle, despite the obstruction from the Third Princess Xing'er's bubbles,
He had clearly seen Chu Tian's offensive capabilities.
Seeing his clone in Chu Tian's hands, he felt a sense of foreboding.
"Nothing much, just collecting some interest… Heh heh… Devour… Activate!"
Chu Tian's smile was radiant, tinged with cruelty.
*Buzz…*
This time, Chu Tian placed his hand on the clone's crown.
The dark figure simply floated in mid-air, held…
As if carrying a dead dog.
"You dare…"
Zheng Enlai's main body cried out in alarm, his fury ignited.
He nocked an arrow onto his longbow.
*Swish…*
A sharp arrow shot out, heading straight for Chu Tian's face.
Chu Tian, with a smile, didn't even look at him. His gaze was fixed on the terrifying coffin-faced clone.
Zhao Lei, holding his door-sized greatshield, lightly brought it across.
*Clang…*
Zheng Enlai's enraged arrow was blocked.
With just a light sound, the greatshield didn't even budge.
The arrowhead of the arrow, the moment it touched the shield, turned fiery red.
As if it had been burned in a furnace.
Upon contact with the shield, it instantly melted into molten iron that flowed down.
The shaft of the arrow directly caught fire, burning into ash.
"Haha…" Zhao Lei's laughter rang out.
This was something he had just discovered – the shield's integrated offensive and defensive capabilities.
Seeing his arrow rendered useless, Zheng Enlai flashed forward and stood before his clone.
"He's going to destroy my two clones, and you're just watching…?" Zheng Enlai pointed at Chu Tian.
His face contorted with rage as he shouted at his coffin-lid-faced clone.
"Oh…!"
The latter uttered only this single word, then, as usual, remained expressionless.
Chu Tian saw this and chuckled inwardly.
His guess was correct; as long as his main body wasn't harmed, this clone was indifferent to everything else.
"You… you… Fine! Heh heh…"
Zheng Enlai, in his fury, was so enraged he actually laughed.
"You won't intervene, will you? Then I'll fight him myself!"
With that, *swish…*
His entire body charged towards Chu Tian and the others.
"Don't hurt him…" Chu Tian, seeing this.
Said to everyone.
Zhao Lei, standing at the forefront, naturally understood the current situation.
He retracted his shield, dodging Zheng Enlai's charging body.
*Rustle rustle rustle…*
Everyone blocking Chu Tian's path, as Zheng Enlai approached,
Like an honor guard, they all moved to the sides.
Even the experts like Wei Du, Old Yang, and Little Dragon Girl in front of Chu Tian,
Flashed aside with a movement of their bodies.
"Ahhh… hit me… hit me… hit me…" Zheng Enlai, like a madman, shouted.
*Slap…*
Just as he fixed his gaze on Chu Tian, he lunged fiercely towards him.
His posture was like that of a street thug in a brawl.
But the moment he got close to Chu Tian.
A loud, clear sound reached everyone's ears.
The coffin-faced clone in the distance, its eyes moved slightly.
Then… it returned to its previous state.
Meanwhile, Zheng Enlai's main body spun 720 degrees in mid-air.
He was like a top.
And Chu Tian, one hand releasing the Devour, absorbing endless spiritual energy into his body.
His other hand was raised high, and in the eyes of Zhao Lei and the others, Chu Tian's action was like a cool pose!
