Lin Yu's clones were about to attack when the Merman King retreated several steps, watching the clones from afar.
At this moment, the Merman King's expression was grim.
He had intended to kill Fuyaozi, but these humans had interfered.
The scene replayed in his mind, and he instantly recognized it as spatial power.
Two thousand humans capable of wielding spatial power. What was their origin?
However, when he clearly saw the eighth-tier strength of Lin Yu's clones, his face contorted with mockery.
"Humans, you command spatial power, but so what? A mere eighth-tier? You dare to challenge me? Guards, kill them!"
He waved his hand, issuing the order to attack to his ministers.
"Mere eighth-tier humans, what fear is there even if more come? Leave them to me, Borong!"
Borong appeared nonchalant, considering these humans already dead.
The Merman King nodded at his words. "Go, you have one quarter of an hour to finish this!"
Borong laughed heartily, "I, Borong, have always been cautious. Even when hunting a rabbit, I use full force. My king, await good news. Not even a quarter of an hour, half a quarter of an hour will be enough to deal with these humans!"
The surrounding merfolk nodded, not finding his boasts surprising.
Borong was immensely powerful. Aside from the older generation, among the middle-aged merfolk, he was one of the strongest.
Furthermore, he excelled in Stone Transformation and Pearlization techniques, especially Pearlization, which he had mastered to perfection, earning him the title of the strongest Pearlizing Merman.
He approached Lin Yu's clones and gently pressed his hands into the void.
"Humans, I admire your courage in seeking death. In the past, I might have engaged you for a while, but my king has commanded me to finish you within a quarter of an hour. So, I apologize, but I must send you to the underworld prematurely."
Faint grey light emanated from his hands, and his eyes glowed with a greyish hue as he prepared to unleash his full power.
Then, he shoved his hands forward!
"Petrifying Light!"
Boom!
The grey light instantly dispersed into thousands of beams, slicing through the sky and surging towards the clones.
Lin Yu, seeing this, remained unhurried and said, "Mount Sumeru Buddha Steps!"
The next moment!
All the clones vanished.
Borong was shocked, looking around. Suddenly, the clones appeared above him.
A dense swarm of clones obscured the sky.
"Moon Devour!"
Nearly two thousand Moon Devours descended from the sky, propelled by the clones, dropping at extreme speed.
The black light illuminated the surroundings, melting away the clouds.
Borong, who was up close, turned pale.
He enveloped himself in energy to avoid the fate of the clouds.
However, the Moon Devours fell from all directions, blocking all his escape routes.
He did not possess spatial power and had nowhere to flee.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!!
The intense corrosive power threatened his life.
His face contorted with alarm as he realized the power of these humans was terrifying, unlike any eighth-tier humans he had encountered.
They were far more powerful than eighth-tier humans.
Lin Yu's recent sea voyage had not only involved consuming dozens of Dragon Blood Pills but also absorbing a considerable amount of Flesh and Blood Pills, thus enhancing his strength.
Though the increase was not substantial, it doubled the effect when applied to his clones.
As such, his clones were now stronger than before, almost approaching the strength of ordinary ninth-tier awakened individuals.
It was no wonder Borong found them so troublesome.
Seeing that Borong was trapped, Lin Yu commanded, "Kill!"
The Moon Devours fell, and black light permeated the area, corroding everything.
"Pearlization Light!" Borong roared.
With a thunderous roar, a pearl-like beam shot out in all directions.
As the light swept across, some of the Moon Devours were forcibly transformed into pearls.
The pearls floated in the air, emitting a captivating glow under the sunlight.
No one would have imagined that these pearls were once Moon Devours.
Lin Yu was slightly astonished, his eyes lighting up; this skill was rather interesting.
"Release Moon Devour again, and destroy him!"
The next moment, Moon Devours descended once more, attacking Borong.
Borong was startled and quickly unleashed his Pearlization Light, transforming some of the Moon Devours into pearls.
Lin Yu chuckled coldly, "Use Mount Sumeru Buddha Steps, engage in close combat, swarm him! Don't let the other merfolk react!"
At this moment, from the perspective of the merfolk, Lin Yu was at a disadvantage, and they had no intention of intervening.
As Lin Yu's words fell, all the clones sprang into action.
With a flash of light, hundreds of clones instantly appeared before Borong.
Borong was greatly alarmed. Just as he was about to unleash his Pearlization Light, these clones pounced on him.
As soon as they closed in, they released Moon Devour, disregarding their own lives, intending to perish together.
Borong let out a scream as one of his arms was forcefully broken.
Then his legs followed, and finally his head. His entire body was torn apart by the clones!
"Ding, you have killed a Deep Sea Merman (Ninth Tier), EXP +3,200,000."
Finally dead!
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his gaze to the other merfolk.
There were over fifty ninth-tier merfolk. His two thousand clones could roughly handle them.
At this time, the merfolk were unaware of Borong's death.
They were somewhat puzzled as to why Borong had not yet dealt with these eighth-tier humans, and many merfolk began to show impatience.
Suddenly!
A merman's head landed in their midst.
"Not good, it's Borong's head!"
When they clearly saw the face on the head, they were all filled with horror.
"He's dead!"
"He was actually killed by eighth-tier humans!"
"Killed by these eighth-tier humans, Borong in less than half a quarter of an hour!"
"How is this possible? What is the origin of these humans?"
The Merman King's face turned ashen, and he cursed, "Useless!"
With a grim expression, he pointed his scepter at Lin Yu's clones.
"Guards, all out, kill them!"
"Yes!"
These merfolk had long been seething with anger and were eager to kill these humans.
Lin Yu chuckled.
The next moment, they were met by nearly two thousand Moon Devours.
As the light swept across, many merfolk, unable to dodge, sustained serious injuries.
"Humans, how dare you!"
"Petrifying Beam!"
"Pearlization Light!"
"Wrath of the Sea!"
"Azure Ice Spear!"
"....."
Skills rained down from all directions.
Lin Yu's clones chuckled and teleported away.
The merfolk's attacks missed, and their hearts burned with rage.
"Everyone, close-quarters combat!"
"Good!"
Thus, close-quarters combat began.
As soon as they engaged, Lin Yu discovered their immense strength.
Regardless of other factors, their physical bodies were far stronger than those of monstrous beasts.
As expected of a deep-sea race capable of withstanding immense water pressure, their powerful physiques were not surprising.
"Humans, die!"
Arms covered in bone spurs attacked Lin Yu's clones.
The clones were at a disadvantage, but Lin Yu remained unfazed.
Using Mount Sumeru Buddha Steps, he weaved among them, launching surprise attacks that gave the merfolk headaches.
At this moment, the Merman King roared in fury.
He waved his scepter towards the void.
"Wrath of the Sea God!"
