873 Speed Is Power (1/2)
”....”
Huo Yuanba' fists did land on Chen Xiaobei's chest but not a single sound could be heard. And there was no trace of blood as well. Chen Xiaobei was still standing there, immovable.
”What… What the hell is going on?”
Everyone around them was taken aback. Baffled, they could not believe the thing that just happened in front of them.
”Oh god! It's just an afterimage! How is that even possible?”
At that moment, Huo Yuanba finally realized the root of the problem. His fist did not manage to land a single hit on Chen Xiaobei from the very beginning. Instead, he was hitting his afterimage all along.
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
At the same time, the sound of the wind blowing could be heard by everyone. Following that, six Chen Xiaobeis appeared around him. Judging from their physical looks, the afterimages had no difference from the real Chen Xiaobei. Filled with fear, everyone stood there like a statue. Initially, Xia Dinxi and Potter thought that Chen Xiaobei would not be able to take a hit from Huo Yuanba. Now, they were shocked beyond word.
”This… How did he do it?”
Liu Xuanxin was left baffled as well. Her wide-eyed look was adorable.
”Grandpa… Is that some kind of lost skill? It's so hard for me to believe that he can pull off such skill!” Liu Chunyi stuttered, gulping.
”That is not a lost skill! I don't think such a skill actually exists in our earthly realm! Only a demigod can achieve such extreme speed! No one else in this world can create multiple afterimages with only their speed! The thing is I don't think even demigod can create six afterimages at the same time! This is truly unbelievable!” said Liu Xiyuan grimly.
”Are you trying to say that the kid that stands in front of us is actually a demigod?!” asked Liu Chunyi with his pupils shrinking, filled with fear.
Liu Xiyuan was looking baffled when Liu Chunyi asked the question. Seemingly he was not too sure about it as well.
”Maximal Shadow! Shatter!”
Along with the loud shout, all six Chen Xioabei began to strike at Huo Yuanba from different directions.
”This…”
”Out of instinct, Huo Yuanba swung his fists at the two Chen Xiaobeis that were closest to him.
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh*
The moment Huo Yuanba's iron fists landed on the afterimages, they disappeared into the thin air.
”It's fake! Again!”
With sweat dripping down from his forehead, Huo Yuanba did not know how to deal with the rest of the four afterimages. It was hard for his brain to perceive which the real Chen Xiaobei was. Immediately, the rest of the four Chen Xiaobeis charged at him at the same time.
*Swoosh*
Left with no other option, Huo Yuanba had to channel all his remaining True Kang to his body to strengthen his armor. All he could hope right now was to block Chen Xiaobei's attack. Seconds later, the Chen Xiaobeis that came from right, left, and back were gone when they came in contact with Huo Yuanba's True Kang armor.
”The one that charges at me from the front is the real one!”
Huo Yuanba managed to locate the real Chen Xiaobei in split seconds. Unfortunately, Chen Xiaobei had already got too close for him to counter his attack. He could only use his True Kang armor to block his attack.
”The way you fight is really magical. Unfortunately, you are just trying to put on a fancy show for everyone! I don't think your attack is going to work on me! Without breaking my True Kang armor, there is no way that you can defeat me!”
