Chapter 97 A powerful water curtain!
Upon seeing this, the clone on the right immediately manipulated the poisonous mist into several arrows, attempting to intercept and devour the incoming blades. However, the blades formed from the willow sword seemed to have a natural resistance to this type of energy attack. When the arrows struck the blades, they only slightly dimmed their light and deviated their trajectories, but could not completely block them.
Zhao Hai seized the moment when the left-side clone was restrained and the right-side clone was distracted and intercepted, and then changed his sword point again!
The three blades that were originally aimed at the right-hand replica drew a Z-shaped line in the air, suddenly abandoning their target and deflecting at an even faster speed toward the already battered replica on the left!
"Pfft pfft pfft!"
The three blades precisely pierced his forehead, chest, and abdomen respectively!
The clone on the left shuddered violently, its movements completely frozen. Struck directly in a vital spot by the willow wood blade, its body, made of well water, began to disintegrate from the inside out, quickly turning into a puddle of well water that scattered in all directions.
Solve one!
The clone on the right seemed to "realize" the destruction of its companion and also realized that the threat posed by these strange blades far exceeded the previous poison mist attack. Its empty eyes locked onto Zhao Hai, and it no longer tried to defend against all the blades. Instead, it condensed a large amount of poison mist in front of it, forming a thick, dark green barrier. At the same time, it retreated rapidly, trying to create distance, and raised its hand to condense poison arrows, attempting to directly attack Zhao Hai's main body—to capture the leader first!
How could Zhao Hai not know its intentions? A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"Disperse!"
With a thought, the remaining twenty-odd blades that had been harassing the clone on the right suddenly scattered and flew away, seemingly abandoning their attack.
The clone paused, but did not stop conjuring the poison arrow.
In that instant, Zhao Hai pressed his sword-wielding right hand down sharply and shouted:
"Willow branches entwined!"
The more than twenty blades that had scattered and flown apart, as well as the dozen or so blades that had been floating in the air after destroying the clone on the left, seemed to be summoned by an invisible force and instantly converged on the hilt of the sword in Zhao Hai's hand! They did not reassemble into the sword body, but rather, as they flew back, they connected end to end, stretching, extending, and intertwining!
In the blink of an eye, a flexible "branch" about forty meters long and as thick as a child's arm, tightly woven from countless pale golden wooden "willow leaves," appeared in Zhao Hai's hand! This "willow branch" looked soft, but its edges gleamed with a sharp, cold light.
"go!"
Zhao Hai flicked his arm, and the forty-meter-long "willow branch," like a living serpent, shot out at an astonishing speed with a whistling sound, its target being the right-hand replica that was retreating and trying to launch a poison arrow!
The clone was shocked and hastily fired its poison arrow, only to have it easily caught and shredded by the nimble, snake-like "willow branch"! The thick barrier of poisonous mist tried to block it, but the tip of the "willow branch" suddenly split into several finer "branches," like nimble fingers, bypassing the barrier and wrapping around the clone from multiple directions, up, down, left, and right!
The clone tried to dodge, but the "willow branches" were too fast and covered too wide! It only managed to avoid two branches before being firmly entangled by the other three "branches" on its legs and one of its arms!
"receive!"
Zhao Hai pulled hard! The binding force on the willow branch suddenly tightened, and at the same time, the sharp edge dug deeply into the replica's body made of well water!
"Sizzle—!"
A sickeningly loud cutting and evaporating sound rang out. The clone struggled frantically, trying to break free, but the binding force on the "willow branch" was incredibly tight. If he had Wang Hu's physical strength, he might have been able to break free of the willow branch's entanglement, but unfortunately, he didn't!
Zhao Hai's eyes turned cold, and he twisted his wrist sharply!
"Experience the strangulation of vines!"
The entwined "willow branches" suddenly contracted inward, rotated, and cut!
"Whoosh—!"
The trapped replica was unable to utter a single cry before it was completely shredded by the sharp "willow branches" and finally vanished into a puddle of well water.
The thirty-six blades flew back automatically and reassembled in Zhao Hai's hand into a complete willow wood sword.
"Wow! Hai Zi is amazing! He took down two clones all by himself! And he was even faster than us!" Wang Hu and the others had only just dealt with one of Su Wanyue's clones when they saw Zhao Hai take down his two clones so quickly, and they exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe! Brother Tiger, I only managed this because I have a magical artifact, and the clone can't replicate the magical artifact. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to deal with these two clones so quickly."
Of course, there's another point Zhao Hai didn't mention: the side effects of using the willow wood sword repeatedly would likely occur countless times.
If it were any other sequence of extraordinary beings, they would never dare to use the willow wood sword so recklessly. Only he has no side effects from using the willow wood sword, so he dares to use its power so extravagantly.
Immediately, Zhao Hai did not help Su Wanyue and Wang Hu. Instead, he flicked his willow wood sword again, which transformed into thirty-six blades and attacked the bronze mirror above the well!
"go!"
This time, Zhao Hai went all out, pushing the speed and unpredictability of "Willow Leaf Flash Sheath" to its limits. The blades didn't go straight, but instead drew dazzling zigzag trajectories in the air, colliding and using each other's momentum, increasing in speed and becoming more and more unpredictable, sealing off all possible evasive maneuvers for the bronze mirror.
Just as the blades were about to hit the bronze mirror, a sudden change occurred!
The clear well water, which had been hovering above the well opening, gathering into a huge mass and surrounding the mirror, had previously remained still, like a quiet curtain on a stage. Now, as if receiving a silent command, it suddenly boiled and surged!
No longer a gentle float, but a living thing controlled by an invisible giant hand, the clear well water instantly splits and stretches, turning into a series of flexible yet incredibly tough water "curtains" and "tentacles", layer upon layer, weaving at an astonishing speed in front of, above and to the side of the bronze mirror!
These water flows are not static defenses, but rather flow and rotate at high speeds, forming flowing and constantly changing water shields. Some of the water flows even condense into thick water pythons, actively meeting the attacking blades and attempting to entangle, deflect, and dissipate their kinetic energy.
Zhao Hai's Blade Storm slammed into the suddenly rising, active water curtain defense network!
These well waters were no longer as easily broken as Zhao Hai and his group had been before. Even with the strong blade of the willow wood sword, they couldn't break through the well water's defense in a short time!
However, Zhao Hai was not surprised by this!
The well water was always suspended around the bronze mirror, clearly to protect it from damage at all times!
However, Zhao Hai did not expect that the defense of that ball of clear water would be so amazing!
