The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 221 - 221 221 Group Battle

221: Chapter 221: Group Battle 221: Chapter 221: Group Battle “Now, take another look.” Ye Shikai sneered coldly, as everyone sharply turned around to find over twenty avatars of Ye Shikai, silently standing behind them as if they had crawled out from the ground.

“What’s going on, why are there so many?” someone said.

“This is like seeing a ghost.”

…

Soon enough, all twenty-four people were thrown into disarray.

Even for battle-hardened assassins, such a sight was unheard of.

Can humans even create avatars?

Ye Shikai coldly watched as the first benefit of Shadow Clones was to achieve winning by surprise, intimidating the enemy psychologically; and secondly, to deal with multiple foes.

Although these twenty-four individuals were all renowned experts, when it came down to it, they were only united by certain interests.

There was no real team spirit among them.

Facing Ye Shikai, akin to a ferocious tiger, they were like a pack of jackals – even if numerous, they still carried a trace of fear deep down.

And now, with so many Ye Shikai suddenly appearing, it was natural for them to panic.

“Take action.” The real Ye Shikai was still standing in front of everyone, while his avatars were behind them.

Seizing the moment of their panic, Ye Shikai made the first move.

He took out the Netherworld King’s Helmet from his Storage Ring and put it on.

As he channeled Inner Strength into it, in the blink of an eye, both the real Ye Shikai and the avatars vanished, throwing the others even further into chaos.

The Seven Slaughter formation immediately took a defensive stance, with Black Widow and Pete also not daring to relax.

“Moonlight Formation.” Ji Qian also made her move by releasing a powerful energy from her jewel-encrusted Magic Wand.

A silver Array slowly enveloped everyone, and the others quickly caught on, launching their attacks.

Soul Destroyer exerted full strength, wielding a white Soft Sword, and took advantage of the enemy’s momentary lapse in defense to remove half of the nearest person’s head, securing the first kill.

Kui Tuo Si grabbed a pair of blades and charged straight at Pete, while the Demoness, wielding a Soft Sword, also plunged into the crowd…

The battle was about to erupt.

In this fight, not counting the avatars, Ye Shikai and his group were outnumbered.

If they faced the Crowmen again, where multiple avatars targeted one, it was possible that one’s own teammates might end up facing several enemies alone.

Therefore, Ye Shikai ordered all avatars to go provide support, while his true self remained alone.

With this strategy, the numbers on both sides were more or less equal.

Even though using the Inner God Scripture greatly increased Ye Shikai’s Inner Strength, the sheer number of avatars inevitably meant that each one’s strength was somewhat diminished.

With the aid of the Netherworld King’s Helmet, the invisible avatars used surprise attacks, striking frequently with good effect.

Moreover, their invisibility added to the opponents’ collapse, forcing them to be constantly on guard against attacks.

Ji Qian, not adept at close combat, managed to injure several opponents with the help of her Magic Wand.

Her powerful energy also prevented opponents from getting close.

Suddenly, a black whip lashed fiercely toward her back.

Ji Qian couldn’t dodge in time and was grazed by the whip.

“Black Widow, it’s you.” Ji Qian saw the attacker clearly—it was Black Widow, the highest-ranked on the Dark List among everyone there and also the one most eager to be a God Slayer.

To her, Ji Qian was the prime target.

“Haha, Moon God, let me see your capabilities today.” As Black Widow spoke, her long whip had already lashed out, Ji Qian swung her Magic Wand to respond, the battle between the two female cultivators grew intense, with Black Widow pressing forward step by step, while Ji Qian turned defense into offense.

“Moon God Spell—Falling Stars.” Numerous streaks of silver light shot out from the Magic Wand, like falling stars scattered across the sky, resembling a series of silver threads, shooting towards Black Widow.

The seemingly gentle beams of light contained immense energy, the true Power of Stars, also the Moon God’s Main God Skill.

Black Widow, caught off guard, was struck by several silver threads, fell to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Pfft.” Black Widow didn’t expect the power of Falling Stars to be so immense, but what surprised her even more was that Ji Qian had actually concealed her Main God Skill, secretly holding back.

“I really didn’t expect you to have held something back.” Black Widow lay on the ground with a hint of astonishment in her tone, seemingly heavily injured, unable to continue fighting.

Ji Qian slowly walked towards her, intending to end her life.

“Wait, Moon God, if I leave now, could you spare my life?” At the brink of life and death, Black Widow’s mouth finally loosened; a once mighty cultivator now begging for mercy.

Ironic indeed, given her previously confident demeanor.

The desire to survive is an instinct that nobody can escape.

Black Widow’s attempt to take advantage of this gathering of strong individuals to slay gods had ultimately failed.

“You’re afraid of death too.” Contempt filled Ji Qian’s face.

“Of course.

If you let me go, I’ll give you all my treasures.” Seeing a glimmer of hope, Black Widow hurriedly put on a pleading smile, willing to trade all her treasures for her life.

Ji Qian snorted disdainfully and let her guard down against Black Widow, not noticing the slight upward curve of her lips.

“Whoosh.” Suddenly, Black Widow fiercely flung something, and several hair-thin poison needles were sent flying.

Ji Qian’s complexion changed, she swiftly used her Inner Strength to block the needles, but still one managed to pierce her abdomen.

Enduring the intense pain, Ji Qian pulled out the poison needle.

Black Widow’s poison needles were notoriously lethal weapons, with extracted venom that caused excruciating pain for as long as seven days.

Ji Qian quickly circulated her Inner Strength to expel the poison from her body.

Seizing the opportunity, Black Widow made a swift move, a short blade appearing in her hand, thrusting straight towards Ji Qian’s heart.

“How dare you lay a finger on my woman.” Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and Black Widow’s figure stiffened on the spot, blood trickling from her mouth, her expression one of disbelief.

Ji Qian, looking at the scene in front of her, felt a sense of relief.

Suddenly, another figure appeared before her—Ye Shikai.

Ye Shikai, having taken off the Netherworld King’s Helmet, wrapped an arm around Ji Qian’s slender waist.

Just now, Ye Shikai’s palm strike had shattered Black Widow’s meridians, otherwise Ji Qian would have been in danger.

“Really, you get distracted even in the midst of a fight.” Ye Shikai reproached her somewhat, while using his Inner Strength to help Ji Qian detoxify.

Ji Qian, content, gazed at Ye Shikai.

Though Black Widow’s poison could be driven out, Ji Qian still needed to recover.

Ye Shikai slowly rose to his feet and looked around at the people present.

Several of the enemy had fallen, but Soul Destroyer and others had also sustained injuries.

It seemed that they all had traded blows with blows.

Ye Shikai shouted loudly, and all of his Avatars returned to his own body.

Ye Shikai felt the immense energy within his body and glared fiercely at the people around him.

“Today, I shall engage in a massacre.” Ye Shikai roared, instantly moving amidst the crowd, and with fluid action, he grasped the necks of two persons.

“Crack.” With a clear sound, the necks of two experts were twisted and broken.

Ye Shikai tossed their bodies to the side, slowly turned around, and stared furiously at the stunned crowd.
