I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Chapter 255: Chapter 220: Last-Ditch Counterattack, a Saint-Level Strike

Seeing the triangle-eyed man frozen there, Su Ze shook his head helplessly. ”Do you really think the few of you combined are a match for me? Why aren’t you running?”

The triangle-eyed man’s expression turned ugly. ”Su Ze, someone like you will never amount to anything!”

”My patience is about to run out.” Su Ze’s expression grew impatient as he once again split into ten clones.

’If these people still don’t know what’s good for them, he was really going to make a move.’

Seeing Su Ze looking like he was about to attack, the triangle-eyed man and his followers felt a chill. The image of Su Ze annihilating ten people in a single strike was still seared into their minds. It seemed there really weren’t enough of them for Su Ze to bother killing.

Just then, Wan Qizhi’s voice rang out. ”It’s all a misunderstanding. Su Ze, Xiang Chuan, you two should calm down. A fight is just a way to get acquainted...”

Wan Qizhi quietly sent a Spiritual Transmission to Su Ze. ”That moron Xiang Chuan has a Saint-level Supreme for a grandfather. Mr. Su, just treat him like he’s nothing and don’t stoop to his level.”

Seeing Wan Qizhi step in to mediate, the triangle-eyed Xiang Chuan immediately took the opportunity to back down. ”Today, out of respect for Mr. Wan, I’ll...”

”Scram!” Su Ze barked coldly. ’If it weren’t for your grandfather, I’d have already slapped you across the face a few times.’

’Sometimes, a biased peacemaker is even more disgusting than an enemy. But this is the Divine Dice. It’s not even certain if this Xiang Chuan will make it out of here alive. There’s no rush to teach him a lesson. I’ll just see how long he lasts.’

Xiang Chuan’s face flushed red, but in the end, he said nothing more and turned to leave.

At that very moment, the Dice Space suddenly began to vibrate continuously.

Everyone looked up, knowing the die was rolling. The random slots for this round were about to be revealed!

After vibrating for a while, the die finally stopped. Seeing the result, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The number rolled this round was a ”5”!

Not bad luck. That was the same number of slots as the second round in previous trials.

Those who intended to leave quickly flew to the top of the Dice Space, poised and ready.

Su Ze also shot into the air, flying toward the four people he wanted to kill. The intimidating aura from when he had just annihilated ten people in a single blow was still fresh, and everyone scrambled to get out of his way.

As for his four targets, they were like mice that had seen a cat, keeping their distance and running in circles around Su Ze within the Dice Space.

Su Ze found the right angle and fired a Gravity Chain, which accurately shot through the crowd and hooked a zealot from the Evolution Divine Teachings.

Activating Ant Power, Su Ze smashed a fist into the man’s head, sending the zealot to meet his God of Evolution.

Now, the remaining three were like startled birds, specifically running into the most crowded areas to deny Su Ze an angle to use his hook.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Tai had somehow snuck up behind another zealot from the Evolution Divine Teachings. He launched a sneak attack, and the zealot failed to dodge. The blow landed, and Zhang Tai temporarily had him under control.

Su Ze immediately rushed over to deliver the finishing blow.

And with that, only Yarlin and Firoz were left alive out of the four.

Suddenly, with a loud CLANG, the five exits at the top finally opened. To Yarlin and Firoz, the natural light streaming in symbolized the hope of survival, and they charged recklessly toward the exits.

The other Trialists also scrambled toward the five exits.

WHOOSH!

Su Ze finally found an angle and fired a Gravity Chain, accurately hooking Yarlin’s thigh.

Just as he was about to be pulled back, Yarlin acted decisively. With a flash of his blade, he chopped off his entire thigh, drew a ”Blood Sword” to intimidate those around him, and finding an opening, squeezed through an exit.

’Quite the move, sacrificing a leg to survive.’ Su Ze’s Gravity Chain only pulled back a leg. He casually tossed it aside, his gaze locking onto the other target, Firoz.

Firoz was fighting with unparalleled ferocity, battling several people at once, and was just about to break through to an exit.

Just as Su Ze was about to act, a shadow flashed past, and Mr. Ya appeared behind Firoz.

Mr. Ya had finally finished absorbing the extract!

”Trying to run?” The suppressed hatred in Mr. Ya’s eyes erupted. His face twisted as he rushed forward, forming a giant cocoon that enveloped both him and Firoz.

The sounds of a struggle continuously came from within the cocoon. Firoz was trying to tear it open and escape, but he seemed to be tied up with Mr. Ya.

Su Ze was confident Mr. Ya would have no problem delaying Firoz for a while. He looked up and saw that only two of the five exits remained open. He immediately charged over, slapping aside the people blocking the way as he forcibly occupied one of the exits.

The others were furious but didn’t dare to protest, so they could only fight over the single remaining exit.

”Mr. Zhang, hurry and go,” Su Ze said to Zhang Tai.

He had seized this exit for Zhang Tai to use.

”You guys take care,” Zhang Tai said before rushing out of the exit.

The other exit was also quickly claimed.

All five exits sealed shut once again.

The cocoon trapping Firoz was finally torn open. Firoz looked up at the ceiling, which had lost its light, and fell into complete despair.

He knew he couldn’t get out now, and that Su Ze and the others would never let him go.

Firoz charged at Mr. Ya like a madman, frantically unleashing all sorts of skills on him. Since he couldn’t escape, he was determined to take someone down with him before he died.

Mr. Ya was covered by a layer of Double-Sided Turtle Shell. He simply retracted into it, refusing to come out no matter how Firoz attacked.

Meanwhile, Su Ze and Li Yongguan finally arrived to provide support. Su Ze charged forward and knocked Firoz back.

Firoz let out a miserable laugh. Suddenly, his aura skyrocketed as a yellow light of evolution burst from his body, intermingled with a few strands of green.

”He’s going to evolve here?”

”Has he gone mad!”

A clamor of discussion erupted from the onlookers.

Firoz was actually attempting his fourth evolution right here, trying to force his way into the Saint level!

It was common knowledge that the Divine Dice was a trial exclusively for Butterfly Stage evolvers. People in the past had tried to exploit a loophole by attempting their fourth evolution within the Divine Dice, but they were always suppressed by an unknown power within the die, causing their evolution to fail.

Firoz, of course, knew that it was impossible to complete his evolution inside the Divine Dice. But he was out of options. He just wanted to use this to unleash greater power. Even if he could only manage a single attack comparable to the Saint level, it wouldn’t be a total loss if he could take out Mr. Ya or Su Ze.

Firoz hadn’t come to the Divine Dice specifically to deal with Mr. Ya. His main goal was the reward from the Divine Dice, hoping to build up more of a foundation for his breakthrough to the Saint level.

Killing Mr. Ya was just something to be done on the side.

But he had severely underestimated Su Ze’s strength. Now that he had missed his chance to leave the die, his only option was to aim for mutual destruction and recklessly push for the Saint level, regardless of the consequences.

”Stop him!”

Su Ze charged forward, using Ant Power combined with ”Needle Strike” to attack Firoz. A green light glowed in Firoz’s eyes as he raised a fist to block Su Ze’s attack.

The bones in Su Ze’s fingers shattered, yet the ”Needle Strike” only inflicted a minor flesh wound on Firoz.

Although Firoz’s evolution was incomplete, his strength had already increased dramatically!

Moreover, his aura was still climbing steadily, and the evolutionary power within his body was still in the process of transforming.

But Su Ze knew this was only temporary. The moment Firoz’s power crossed the ”Saint level” threshold, he would be punished by the rules of the Divine Dice. His evolution would be interrupted, and his strength and condition would plummet.

At that point, Firoz would be at their mercy.

The hard part was surviving until then.

Su Ze used his Liquid Life skill again, transforming into ten Liquid Clones. One of the clones slammed its fist on the ground, unleashing the Furious Waves skill.

A violent wave of energy raged out, striking Firoz. It didn’t cause him much damage, but it did inflict Dizziness.

Before Firoz could recover, a second Liquid Clone immediately followed up with another Furious Waves, putting him into a state of Dizziness once again.

Just like that, Su Ze’s ten Liquid Clones chained Furious Waves one after another, hitting Firoz with a ten-hit Dizziness combo and creating an extremely long Control Chain.

’Actually, I could have the ten clones follow up with a ten-hit Rhino Charge combo to extend the Control Chain, but the cost of ten Furious Waves is already substantial. I really can’t afford another ten Rhino Charges.’

While Firoz was dizzied, Su Ze’s Liquid Clones frantically attacked him. However, the old bastard’s body was already transforming to the Saint level, making him as tough and stubborn as a rock in a latrine. Su Ze’s barrage of attacks had no effect.

Left with no other choice, Su Ze controlled one Liquid Clone to turn into a stream of water and enter Firoz’s body through his mouth and nose. Then, he cast ”Needle Strike” from within!

SPLURT!

Bloody holes erupted all over Firoz’s body as he violently coughed up blood. Attacking from the inside was indeed effective.

But the intense pain also jolted Firoz out of his daze. He slammed a hand against his chest and spat out a large glob of water—which was one of Su Ze’s Liquid Clones.

At that moment, Firoz’s aura reached its peak. The light of evolution within him had almost completely turned green.

Suddenly, Firoz’s body froze. The green evolutionary power circulating within him seemed to get stuck, coming to a complete halt.

Firoz’s peak aura began to recede just as quickly.

’The Divine Dice’s sanction has taken effect...’ Su Ze realized. He controlled his Liquid Clones to merge back into one body and quickly retreated.

Firoz suddenly began to cough violently. The Plague Poison that Su Ze had left in his body with ”Needle Strike” had finally taken effect.

Firoz glanced at the retreating Su Ze and charged, his speed even greater than Su Ze’s. At the same time, a light erupted from his fist as he threw a punch straight at Su Ze’s face.

The punch made Su Ze’s heart pound wildly as his instincts screamed danger. This was Firoz using the last ounce of his strength to deliver a punch on par with the Saint level!

’Looks like I’ll have to use my Regeneration Core’s revival chance...’ Su Ze was already prepared to have his body reconstructed.

But just then, Mr. Ya zipped in front of Su Ze. A thin, foam-like shield appeared on his body. The strongest punch of Firoz’s life landed on that shield without making a single sound.

Firoz’s eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

The next second, the shield shattered. Mr. Ya and Su Ze retreated a few steps, watching as Firoz collapsed from exhaustion. His aura continued to fade, and his body regressed back to the Butterfly Stage—even weaker than before, as frail as an old man at death’s door.

This was the backlash from his failed evolution.

”Go on,” Su Ze said, taking out his Moonblade and handing it to Mr. Ya.

Artifacts couldn’t be used inside the Dice of Evolution, so the Moonblade had no Extraordinary effects at the moment. However, the blade itself was sharp enough to easily slice off the head of a Butterfly Stage evolver.

Mr. Ya took the Moonblade and walked toward the fallen Firoz, a complicated look in his eyes.

After so many years, he finally had his chance for revenge!

’Dad, Mom, this is just the first step. I will send many more of our enemies to repent before you.’

SWISH. With a swift fall of the blade, a head went rolling!
