Chapter 651: Shadow Clone Technique!

The disturbance wasn't very obvious; even as a Saint, one might not notice it without paying close attention.

The attacks all slammed toward Ye Qingran; such terrifying power could certainly shatter a normal Saint into powder.

The Academy's disciples all felt their hearts hang in suspense.

Believing in Ye Qingran is one thing, but witnessing such a horrifying scene, they couldn't help but worry for her.

"Is that all?"

Nan Xin looked at Ye Qingran, who was almost swallowed by the energy sphere, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his face.

He had thought Ye Qingran was strong, but didn't expect her to be this weak!

With this strength, she could still take on three opponents? The Saint of Golden City must be far too weak!

However, soon Nan Xin realized something was off.

Because Ye Qingran, whose smiling face was Like a Flower and had been standing in the corner, suddenly flashed black aura around her and turned into a three‑dimensional shadow!

"Damn, fell into the trap!"

At that moment, somewhere within the mist, the Black Mist shifted, and Ye Qingran's specter appeared ghost‑like behind the two Saints.

"To hell with you!"

The voice was light, tinged with mockery, as if a summons from hell, laced with the poison of a vine‑flower.

The two Saints clearly sensed the murderous intent from behind, their spines instantly stiffened, pupils contracting.

Boom~

Ye Qingran gave the two no time to react; she thrust both palms outward simultaneously, slapping the backs of their heads, a palm already brimming with force, instantly crushing the unsuspecting Saints' skulls!

The brain matter splattered everywhere, floating through the air like tofu pudding, accompanied by bright red blood—what a sight...

"Ugh~"

Many people vomited, especially the female disciples, each losing their rosy complexion.

Outside, Ling Tian, who was watching the battle, wore a face so gloomy it seemed it could drip water.

In just that short time, Ye Qingran killed two Saints of Dan Valley!

Raising a Saint requires countless resources; to lose them like this makes his heart bleed!

The fall of those two Saints served as a price, prompting the remaining eleven Saints to heighten their vigilance.

"Damn it!"

Nan Xin's expression was terrible.

He never imagined he would fall so easily into Ye Qingran's ruse!

Losing two Saints at once made him both angry and alarmed.

"It's the Shadow Flow Technique!"

Someone realized and shouted.

"Is it the Shadow Flow Technique that Ye Xiaohu used when battling Nanguo Qingyuan last time?"

The Academy disciples' eyes flashed with unusual colors.

That day, Ye Xiaohu fought Nanguo Qingyuan, using the Shadow Flow Technique with a single move that dazzled everyone, leaving a deep impression and endless praise.

Unexpectedly, not long after, his mother Ye Qingran also displayed an even more dazzling Shadow Flow Technique when battling the Elder of Dan Valley!

It proves the saying—truly a mother and son!

Especially since Ye Qingran combined the Way of the Assassin with the Shadow Flow Technique, catching the Dan Valley Saints off guard and losing two generals right at the start!

"Ye Qingran, you used deception?!"

Nan Xin raged helplessly.

Ye Qingran sneered, "The principle that soldiers do not despise deceit—Elder Nan Xin, you're so old, still don't understand?"

"What a perfect example of soldiers not despising deceit! Do you think we'd fall for the same trick again?"

With the lesson just learned, they would never be taken advantage of in the same place again!

Although the shadows of the Shadow Flow Technique can switch freely with the original body—truly marvelous—the shadow is still not the original; if they examine carefully, they can certainly discern the real from the fake!

"Is that so? Then how about trying this move?"

Ye Qingran flashed a flamboyant smile, and together with her laughter, shadows appeared in every corner, even weaving among those Elders.

The shadows bore the same shape as Ye Qingran, but were composed entirely of black mist, naturally lacking any facial features.

One shadow after another materialized out of thin air; within a few breaths, dozens of shadows dazzled the eyes.

"Quick, kill her!"

Nan Xin, seeing these bizarre shadows, grew increasingly uneasy and was the first to launch an attack at Ye Qingran's original body.

The remaining Saints also struck with thunderous speed.

However, before they could get close, a shadow appeared where Ye Qingran's original body had stood, while Ye Qingran herself had already vanished.

"I'm right here!"

The laugh, like silver bells, rang in everyone's ears—pleasant yet, in this atmosphere, inevitably unsettling.

The fierce attacks once again hit nothing!

"This is... the Shadow Clone Technique!"

The Shadow Flow Technique is an ancient supreme art; because it demands extremely high cultivation and heavily drains Mysterious Force, few learn it, and it has gradually been lost.

Therefore, the young disciples of the Shenzhou Academy hardly understand the Shadow Flow Technique, let alone its more profound Shadow Clone Technique. If not for Xiao Hu's previous use, many wouldn't even know it existed.

The Shadow Flow Technique Xiao Hu used before was only beginner level, at most one to three clones.

However, the Shadow Clone Technique Ye Qingran employed was different—it is an advanced form within the Shadow Flow Technique, capable of creating dozens or even hundreds of shadow clones in a short time, after which the original can, at will, swap places with any shadow.

This dazzling, indistinguishable Shadow Clone Technique is highly deceptive, always leaving opponents unable to defend.

The Dan Valley Saints struck again, yet they couldn't even brush Ye Qingran's hem!

Here!

Behind you!

Be careful!

Ye Qingran was like a ghost, appearing at any corner at any time.

In a moment, more than a dozen Saints could find no way to deal with her!
