Chapter 67 Shadow Abyss Emperor's Son, Shadow Clone
Chapter 67 Shadow Abyss Emperor's Son, Shadow Clone
Lin Yuan stood quietly in the center of the hall.
His white vest was still tattered, his pants were stained with dried blood, and he walked barefoot on the cracked marble floor, exuding an aura of murderous intent.
However, the bleeding from his wounds had stopped, and the pale golden bone patterns of the ten chakras merging into one flowed slowly under his skin, nourishing his body.
"Crackling and popping."
The right hand, from which the purple lightning spear flew, was slightly open, with silvery-white arcs of electricity still remaining on the fingertips, crackling loudly.
At this moment, his entire aura changed drastically. Having experienced life-and-death battles, he had long since transformed into a calm and sharp man, exuding a fierce aura of steel-like resilience.

Lin Yuan glanced at the system panel in front of him, and a smile slowly crept onto his lips.
Finally, I've upgraded my D-level ability!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuan slowly raised his head, his gaze passing through the dim and chaotic hall, and looked straight at the dark purple figure in front of the statue.
At this moment, the Shadow Abyss Prince had already turned around.
Its pure gold vertical pupils stared intently at Lin Yuan's pale gold eyes across the distance.
On one side are the pure golden eyes that come from the imperial bloodline, and on the other side are the pale golden eyes that have been refined through ten rounds of bone tempering.
The two, one human and one wolf, faced off for the first time in the hall, which was filled with chaos and the pungent smell of blood!
But soon, the Shadow Abyss Prince's gaze returned to the Shadow Abyss Wolf statue.
Lin Yuan held the Purple Lightning Spear in his hand, the tip of which was still stained with wolf blood that hadn't completely dried.
He stared coldly at the Shadow Abyss Prince before him, and immediately realized that the other's gaze was not on him at all.
From beginning to end, even as he watched three members of his own royal family being killed with a single spear thrust, the imperial prince showed no anger, no surprise, and didn't even glance at the corpses on the ground.
Its golden pupils, from beginning to end, were fixed on only one direction—the tall Shadow Abyss Wolf statue in the hall.
Lin Yuan followed its gaze and turned to look at the statue.
He had seen this statue a few hours earlier when he came to the trading market, and at the time he was puzzled as to why there would be a statue of the Shadow Abyss Wolf Clan in the hall.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuan noticed the anomaly on the statue.
In the center of the statue's forehead is a small, diamond-shaped transparent crystal, slightly larger than a thumb.
At this moment, the crystal is emitting a faint green glow.
In the air directly in front of the statue, there was an even larger crystal, irregularly shaped and dark red in color.
Inside the crystal, something seemed to be sealed away, but its exact shape was unclear; only a huddled shadow could be vaguely seen.
The moment Lin Yuan looked at the crystal, his spacetime ability inexplicably stirred slightly.
The next second, the crystals on the statue also lit up.
Two crystals, one bright and one dim, flickered alternately with perfect rhythm and stable frequency, as if someone were deliberately controlling them. The two crystals were resonating with each other from a distance!
Suddenly, an extremely subtle vibration permeated the entire hall, making the air feel oppressive.
Lin Yuan gripped his spear tighter, his brow furrowing slightly, and he muttered coldly, "What the hell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, lightning suddenly exploded beneath his feet, and he transformed into a silver-purple afterimage, charging straight toward the emperor's son in front of the statue without hesitation!
He didn't hold back in this attack, directly pushing his second-tier, first-level lightning-type ability to its limit.
The patterns on the purple lightning spear lit up, and the spear tip shot out through the air with a sharp whistling sound, making the attack fierce.
But even when faced with this fatal blow, the prince kept his back to him and didn't even turn his head.
Just as the spear tip was about to pierce the prince's heart, only a few meters away, Lin Yuan suddenly stopped!
This wasn't a voluntary decision for him to stop; rather, it was his body's instinctive sense of danger that forcibly stopped him!
He was all too familiar with this feeling; it was something he had learned through countless life-and-death battles in the wasteland, and his premonition of danger was never wrong!
In an instant, a cold and sharp killing intent swept over him from behind, making the hairs on his back stand on end and his whole body go cold!
Lin Yuan had no time to think. Lightning burst forth beneath his feet once more, and he swiftly shifted to the side to dodge.
whoosh-
A dark purple wolf claw instantly grazed his back, tearing his already tattered white vest apart, leaving several eerie green claw shadows in the air.
Lin Yuan landed steadily, immediately turned around, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
The one who attacked him was actually a Shadow Abyss Wolf!
Its dark purple fur, covered in golden patterns, and golden vertical pupils made it exactly the same as the imperial prince before them, without the slightest difference!
The only difference is that the edges of this Shadow Abyss Wolf's body are very blurry, the light around it is distorted, and its body is half-illusory and half-real.
It is entirely formed from shadow energy, existing somewhere between a phantom and a solid!
Is that a shadow?!
Lin Yuan quickly lowered his head and looked down at the feet of the Emperor's son, his heart suddenly filled with shock.
Because tonight is the night of the full moon, moonlight shines in the hall. Every solid object casts a shadow, but there is nothing under the Emperor's feet, not a single shadow!
Just then, the prince slowly turned his head to the side.
Its original form still stands in front of the statue.
Throughout the entire ordeal, he didn't move an inch, completely unaffected by Lin Yuan's sudden attack, and his eyes remained utterly indifferent.
Lin Yuan instantly understood.
From the moment he stepped into the hall, the Emperor Prince immediately created a shadow clone, while his main body remained completely still, leaving the clone to deal with him entirely!
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "You didn't move your main body, but instead created a shadow clone. No wonder you didn't care at all. It turns out you had a backup plan from the very beginning."
The prince's golden pupils narrowed slightly, showing no anger or killing intent, only a hint of scrutiny.
From the very beginning, it didn't take Lin Yuan seriously at all. It wasn't out of deliberate arrogance, but rather because the gap between the two was too great, and it wasn't worth it getting emotionally involved.
But it never expected that this human not only easily killed three second-tier, fifth-level Shadow Abyss royals, but also remained almost unscathed. This strength was unmatched in the entire city of Hangzhou…
It's not an exaggeration to say that among all the level 1, second-tier ability users in the entire Dragon Kingdom, there's absolutely no one else like him!
Lin Yuan held his Purple Lightning Spear horizontally in front of him, ready for battle.
He brought his left index and middle fingers together, and a pale purple lightning needle instantly condensed at the tip of his finger—it was the Thunderclap Finger!
He had already devised a strategy: use the Purple Lightning Spear to close in and restrain the Emperor's main body, while simultaneously using Thunderclap Finger to launch a ranged attack on the shadow clone, first probing the clone's attack range and strength!
The prince slowly turned his head back, never looking at Lin Yuan again.
The shadow clone beside him tilted its head slightly, looking down at him with a strange smile.
It and the original body are of the same will, and can act together without any command!
