Chapter 240: Illusion Array

The cultivation requirements for Lang Jiao's Shadow Clone technique are extremely harsh; one must be an identical twin, and both parties must possess cultivation aptitude for it to be successfully cultivated.

Lang Jiao has a twin sister; the two were physically connected from birth and shared the same thoughts. Later, the sisters cultivated a Wolf Clan Secret Technique, merging their bodies into one, which allowed them to perfectly execute the Shadow Clone.

Both of Lang Jiao's bodies are real and can separate or merge. Once separated, the two coordinate with each other, and the combat power they exert is definitely greater than one plus one.

Lang Jiao once relied on this move to fight above her rank and kill a Fourth-Grade Middle Tier human powerhouse.

At a critical moment, Meng Yifan channeled his Yin Spiritual Power into the Ghost Head Blade.

"Woo... wail..." The Ghost Head Blade emitted the sound of Ghost Crying Wolf Howling, enveloping the Lang Jiao on the right, causing her expression to freeze and her Wolf Claw to slow by a fraction.

Meng Yifan seized the opportunity to tap his toes and execute Lingbo Microsteps, intending to slay the Lang Jiao on the right, but the Lang Jiao on the left suddenly exploded with power, attacking frantically. If Meng Yifan were to stubbornly continue his attack on the right-side Lang Jiao, he would likely end up dead.

The problem is, Meng Yifan is still not certain which of these two Lang Jiao is her true self.

If the one on the right is a fake, it would be too worthless for Meng Yifan to perish together with her.

"Whoosh!" Meng Yifan blocked the Wolf Claw of the left-side Lang Jiao, then retreated rapidly, avoiding the dangerous situation of being pincered by the two Lang Jiao.

"Sonic attack? Hmph! A petty trick, not worth mentioning." Both Lang Jiao said dismissively. The sound of Ghost Crying Wolf Howling had caught her off guard earlier, but now that she had reacted, her Fourth Grade Demon Power surged, forming ear-muffs that protected her ears.

The Ghost Crying Wolf Howling sound of the Ghost Head Blade is mainly used to interfere with the enemy's mind, but sound propagation requires a medium and cannot travel in a vacuum. The ear-muffs formed by Lang Jiao's Demon Power were hollow inside, effectively blocking the sonic attack.

Meng Yifan's expression was grave; he felt it was very troublesome. He was no match for the two Lang Jiao in a head-on clash, and powerhouses like Kong Sanqiang and the dual-blade Zombie were all bogged down in bitter battles, unable to provide him support in the short term.

Moreover, in this kind of battle between Fourth-Grade powerhouses, Third Grade powerhouses who get involved are easily killed in seconds and cannot play much of a role.

"What to do?" Meng Yifan racked his brains, quickly thinking of a way to break the situation.

"If I could level up once more, I could crush Lang Jiao." Meng Yifan looked at the Game Panel. As the war continued and a large number of the Monster Army were wiped out, the Experience Value on the Game Panel was also soaring.

Meng Yifan estimated that as long as he killed three thousand more monsters, the Experience Value gained would be enough for him to upgrade to Fourth Grade Middle Tier.

On the four walls of Luolong County, humans and monsters were fighting to the death everywhere, and the battle was exceptionally intense.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Elm Cannons, Tiger Crouching Cannons, Shenwu Great General Cannons, and Rockets were fired continuously, and swaths of monsters were blown into fragments.

Some barrels of the Shenwu Great General Cannons were shot until they were red-hot, and the nearby artillerymen had to pause firing to cool the barrels with wet rags.

There were also some Elm Cannons that, after firing a dozen shots, saw their elm wood deform and become unable to withstand the immense chamber pressure of the cannonball launch, causing them to explode directly; the nearby gunners were killed on the spot.

The other gunners nearby could not spare the time for grief; they continued to fire, completely disregarding that the Elm Cannons in their hands might also explode on the next shot.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Flintlocks, Bird Guns, and AK47s were also firing continuously, killing one monster after another.

The able-bodied men also went up to defend the walls, and Rolling Stones and logs were constantly thrown down, crushing one Wild Beast after another. Buckets of scalding Golden Juice were also poured down, burning the Wild Beasts until their skin split and flesh burst, causing them to howl incessantly.

Shen Dahu, Liu Sheng, Kong Sanqiang, Meng Dayong, the Bloodthirsty Ghost Rat Shuke, and other experts were also fighting bravely. There were many powerhouses among the Monster Army, and the two sides were locked in an inseparable struggle.

This siege initiated by the Demon Race had reached a stalemate; at this critical moment, it all depended on whether Meng Yifan or Lang Jiao won or lost.

If Meng Yifan won, he could quickly slay the Third Grade Mantis Demon Beast, the Third Grade Toad, and other high-level monsters, and then lead the freed Third Grade Zombies to sweep through the other monsters, which would be the final blow to win this battle.

Likewise, if Meng Yifan failed and Lang Jiao was freed to go and slay Kong Sanqiang, Meng Dayong, and the others, then this battle was destined to be a human defeat, and all the common people in the city would be eaten by the monsters.

"At this intensity of battle, if I can hold on for another three minutes, the Experience Value should be enough."

Although it was only three minutes, for Fourth-grade High-level Experts like Meng Yifan and Lang Jiao, let alone three minutes, even three seconds was enough for them to exchange hundreds of blows.

It would be very difficult to hold on for these short three minutes.

"Swish!" The two Lang Jiao surrounded him again, their Wolf Claws flashing with an earthy yellow light, attacking simultaneously from above and below with lightning speed toward Meng Yifan's neck and crotch.

Meng Yifan flicked his left hand, and an Array Disk appeared; he channeled Yin Spiritual Power into it, activating the Array.

Lang Jiao felt a blur before her eyes, and she appeared in a Valley with jagged rocks and gusts of Yin wind.

The light here was dim, and layers of dark clouds floated around, making the entire Valley appear very gloomy.

"An illusion?" Lang Jiao was stunned for a moment, then her Earth Domain activated. The surrounding space began to shake and crack, revealing the scene on the city wall outside.

"Hum!" Meng Yifan's Yin Domain activated, merging into the Array, causing the shattered Array to recover once again.

"What is the use of an Array?" Lang Jiao was puzzled. Her will was firm and her Divine Soul was stable; it was impossible for her to be deceived by an illusion. It was impossible for Meng Yifan to defeat her using an Array.

Lang Jiao carefully examined the dilapidated Array around her; she was certain that Meng Yifan was hiding within it.

What Lang Jiao needed to do was move quickly to find the most solid part of the Array, as that was likely where Meng Yifan was located.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" The two Lang Jiao split into two paths, running continuously through the dilapidated Valley while carefully distinguishing the strength of the surrounding Array.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Suddenly, from the dark clouds, black, shiny pins flew out, shooting toward Lang Jiao's eyes and crotch respectively.

"Despicable and shameless!" Lang Jiao shouted angrily, waving her Wolf Claws to knock all those pins away.

Then, the spiral horn on top of Lang Jiao's head shot out toward the direction from which the pins had come.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, five Yin Soldiers were drilled into fragments by Lang Jiao's horn, their souls scattered.

"Eh! Yin Soldiers?" Lang Jiao was shocked. She discovered that Meng Yifan knew quite a lot; not only could he refine Zombies, but he could also control Yin Soldiers, and his own martial prowess was also very formidable. Such a guy who was proficient in everything was truly worthy of being the legendary peerless genius.
