Then let the witch offer her loyalty

"What's with this smell?! Chen Moxin! Get out here!"
Soon, Chen Moxin's voice sounded from behind. He smiled and explained, "No one has been here for a long time. The bureau sent someone to clean it up for us and sprayed some air freshener or something."
Wolf Moon couldn't help but curse, "What the hell are you spewing? It stinks! Tell them to find another place right now!"
Chen Moxin shrugged, looking innocent: "The smell is a bit off, but it doesn't matter much, it's not poisonous gas, it won't affect our duel, right? You're not going to be unable to fight because of this little smell?"
At this point, he gave a sly smile, deliberately emphasizing his words: "Or are you saying that if the surrounding smells are even slightly unpleasant, you can't beat me?"
Wolf Moon's temples throbbed with anger, his temper flaring instantly: "You're so arrogant! We haven't even started fighting yet, and you dare to say I can't beat you?!"
Chen Moxin slowly rubbed her nose and lazily smiled, "I'm just afraid you'll use the smell as an excuse to renege on your promise after the fight."
“If you think you’ll lose because of a mere smell, then let’s request to change locations. It’s no fun if I beat you and then you come back and deny it, saying, ‘The smell in this place affected my performance, so it doesn’t count.’”
"What did you say?!" Wolf Moon roared in fury, slamming his fist against the wall.
"Boom—" A fist enveloped in a booming shockwave, blasting a hole more than ten meters in diameter into the hard wall, sending alloy and concrete fragments flying everywhere, shaking the entire underground space.
Wolf Moon's face twisted into a savage grin, his eyes beginning to glow crimson: "You think I'm afraid of you?! This king is upright and honest, I never deny anything! No more changing the ground, this is it! I'm going to beat you to a pulp right here today!"
"Alright, King Wolf Moon is mighty~ Then I'll have the control team start." Chen Moxin waved to the camera on the top of the wall in the distance.
In the control room, the technical team began the final operations, entering the countdown process.
Soon, the broadcast sounded, and the technical team's announcement echoed throughout the venue: "Both duelists are ready. The isolation gates are closed, and the venue is sealed off."
"Click—Boom!" The heavy metal isolation door slowly closed under mechanical drive, and the entire battle arena seemed to be thrown into a vacuum, instantly falling silent and becoming quiet and oppressive.
"Before the duel begins, the rules will be read again. First..."
During the reading of the rules, Wolf Moon was already impatient. She half-squatted down, her fingertips touching the ground, scratching the ground inch by inch. With each scratch, several deep scratch marks were left on the hard ground.
Her shoulder blades bulged slightly, her rapid breathing carried a faint beastly growl, and her eyes glowed with a blood-red light, like a wild beast ready to hunt.
Time ticked by, and although the rules of the duel were actually very simple and the explanation only took a few minutes, the oppressive atmosphere made it feel like an eternity.
Finally, a solemn voice came over the loudspeaker: "The rules have been read. The duel shall now begin!"
Chapter 207 A Just Gang Fight
"Roar--"
The moment the duel began, Wolf Moon roared and pounced forward, charging towards Chen Moxin with fierce killing intent.
However, she had only taken a few steps when a sudden change occurred.
The previously crystal-clear battlefield view was suddenly obstructed, and nothing could be seen.
It was as if someone had covered my eyes with a blood-red cloth, and all I could see was an endless crimson fog.
"?!" Wolf Moon froze, not understanding what had happened. She turned her head and looked around, but nothing had changed. It was as if the whole world had been smeared with thick blood, and she had no spatial direction reference at all.
"Whoosh—Bang!" Suddenly, an extremely sharp sound of air being torn apart rang out in my ears.
Chen Moxin flashed to Langyue like a ghost, and his powerful punch struck her eyebrow bone. With a loud crash, her small body was sent flying, tracing a bloody arc in the air.
With a loud thud, Lang Yue's body slammed heavily into the distant wall, smashing a large crater into the hard, thick surface, almost embedding her entirely within it.
Wolf Moon struggled to climb out of the wall, rubbing her eyes frantically with her hands and screaming, "What is that! Why can't I see anything?!"
Chen Moxin stood not far away, smiling as she watched Lang Yue descend into rage and chaos, looking just like a small beast that had fallen into a trap and didn't know how to escape.
He slowly explained, “My psychic powers can manipulate blood, so I used a few drops of blood to create a blood film in front of your eyeballs, depriving you of your vision.”
Wolf Moon kept letting out furious growls, rubbing its eyes with both hands as hard as if it wanted to rub its eyeballs out.
Seeing this, Chen Moxin jokingly said, "Don't bother, that blood membrane is under my control. Even if you crush it, I can instantly coagulate it back."
"Moreover, the harder you rub, the more the blood film will adhere to the retina. At that point, you might not only lose your sight, but you might also experience more itching the more you rub."
"Ugh!!!" Wolf Moon roared furiously, suddenly bending down and pressing himself against the ground, his five fingers snapping shut the next second.
"Sizzle—" Her sharp claws scratched a row of deep marks on the floor, sparks flying as they rubbed together.
"You think I can't catch you just because you've blindfolded me?! I could kill you even with my eyes closed!!"
Although Wolf Moon's eyes, covered by a blood membrane, were blind, they still burned with a fierce aura, and powerful spiritual energy surged around him like flames.
Her figure transformed into a blur, tearing through the air as she leaped out, rushing towards Chen Moxin's direction.
Vision is crucial in combat. If you can't see anything, it's the same as not knowing where the enemy is or what attacks you might face.
However, for Wolf Moon, the disadvantage of losing her sight is not so great, because she has a pair of extremely sensitive animal ears.
Those wolf ears possess extraordinary hearing, far surpassing that of ordinary humans. When Wolf Moon used to hunt on the grasslands, he could use those ears to distinguish sounds from the wind and often lock onto prey "beyond visual range".
Even though Chen Moxin has sealed her eyes with blood membranes, she can still locate them through hearing, vibration, wind pressure, and other means.
Facing the oncoming wolf moon, Chen Moxin lowered his body, raised his left arm, and his blood flowed rapidly under the control of spiritual energy, condensing into a blood crystal shield.
Wolf Moon charged like a cannonball, slamming into the blood shield. The solid crystal trembled violently from the impact. Her fists then rained down, one after another, determined to smash Chen Moxin and the shield together.
Chen Moxin smiled slightly as he watched Wolf Moon attack like a mad dog.
While sealing off Wolf Moon's vision was intended to deprive him of his eyesight, weakening his combat power even slightly was beneficial.
But more importantly, it was so that the two henchmen could show themselves openly.
Just as Wolf Moon was fiercely attacking Chen Moxin's blood shield, he quietly made a hand gesture.
Almost simultaneously, in the battle arena that should have only had two people, the space suddenly rippled slightly, and two figures quietly emerged, gradually condensing from blurry to clear forms.
Lei Lie and Zhou Yan, who had followed them in earlier, have now broken free of their refracted form and revealed themselves.
Because Wolf Moon's vision was blocked, she didn't see the two people at all.
Moreover, her usually proud sense of smell had long been dulled by the rich fragrance filling the space, making her unable to detect any scent and completely unaware that there were two more people present.
Lei Lie was the first to act. His strong muscles bulged like air, and the winding, twisting veins on his body surface stood out. His teeth were growing rapidly in his open mouth, and his ten fingers made a cracking sound. His nails became thick and sharp, like the claws of a beast.
"Boom!" Lei Lie, having entered his Suwei form, suddenly burst forth, charging straight at Wolf Moon with power that increased exponentially.
Wolf Moon was still relentlessly attacking Chen Moxin, her world still a crimson blur, but her wolf ears suddenly stood up.
A sharp whooshing sound approached from the side and front. Wolf Moon's two furry ears twitched incessantly, catching the vibrations in the air.
"Um?!"
Wolf Moon didn't understand why someone would suddenly attack from another direction when he was clearly engaged in a fierce battle with Chen Moxin.
Lei Lie's attack speed was extremely fast, leaving Lang Yue with not enough time to react. The power brought by the alien type pushed the explosive force to the limit in this short moment, and the thick claws smashed down towards Lang Yue's head.
Although Wolf Moon couldn't see, she still managed to react on the verge of being attacked by relying on her keen judgment of changes in wind pressure and the sound of air being cut. She took a step back and quickly crossed her arms to support herself.
"boom!"
With tremendous force, Lei Lie's powerful claws slammed into Lang Yue's crossed arms. The force traveled along the arm bones to the spine, causing Lang Yue to bend over. The ground beneath his feet cracked and collapsed, sending debris flying everywhere.
However, Wolf Moon's immense power was on full display at this moment. Despite being caught off guard, she showed no signs of weakness and managed to withstand Lei Lie's claws, resisting him with brute force.
Just as Wolf Moon and Lei Lie were locked in close combat, a petite and agile figure rushed into the fray.
Zhou Yan crouched low and slid between Lei Lie's legs, disappearing beneath Wolf Moon.
Before Lang Yue could react, Zhou Yan pushed off the ground and stood up, using his shoulder to lift his right arm and slam his elbow into Lang Yue's chin like a hammer.
"Thump!!!" A dull thud rang out. The elbow strike landed solidly, and Wolf Moon's head snapped to the side. Blood vessels bulged from the corners of his eyes, and blood-tinged saliva and nosebleed splattered out on the spot.
Zhou Yan almost fainted from the pleasure of successfully elbowing Lang Yue, experiencing a kind of ecstatic sensation.
After being scolded, bitten, and kicked for so many days, she finally got to give Wolf Moon an elbow in a legitimate way, and she felt that her life was complete.
Wolf Moon staggered from the sudden attack, losing her balance. She was already under pressure from Lei Lie, and then Zhou Yan's sneak attack made her body involuntarily tilt, with one side of her ribs almost exposed.
A glint flashed in Chen Moxin's eyes as he quickly circled behind Lang Yue. A scarlet light shone in his palm, and with the support of Zhou Yan's spiritual energy, the blood in his body was forcibly solidified. A sharp, dagger-like blood crystal thorn emerged from his palm, its blood-red light chilling.
Without saying a word, Chen Moxin thrust the Blood Crystal Thorn into Wolf Moon's spine, and the shrill sound of the air being torn apart echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
If this blow lands squarely, even if Wolf Moon's body is extraordinary, once his central nervous system is damaged, even if he is not paralyzed on the spot, his mobility will be greatly affected.
At the critical moment, Lang Yue struggled and broke free from Lei Lie's restraint. At the same time, she suddenly turned to the side, and Chen Moxin's blood thorn left a deep bloody mark on her body, just grazing past her spine.
Bloodthorn ripped a half-foot-long laceration across Wolf Moon's left back, flesh torn open, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering all over the ground.
Wolf Moon tripped and fell to the ground due to inertia, rolling around awkwardly a few times. She raised her hand and shouted, "Wait, wait, wait! Stop! This isn't right!"
"Wasn't this supposed to be a one-on-one fight? Why do I feel like several people are ganging up on me?!"
Clearly, Wolf Moon realized something was wrong.
Whether it's the sounds of movement that can't be concealed during combat, or attacks coming from multiple angles simultaneously, it's clear that there's more than one attacker, which defies common sense.
Chen Moxin stopped attacking and explained with a smile, "It is indeed a one-on-one fight, but I know the clone technique, so I can create several bodies to fight you."
Wolf Moon yelled, "Who are you trying to fool! Do you think I'm brain-dead?"
"You've even used a clone technique??? Do you dare wipe the blood off my eyes and show me your clone?!"
Chen Moxin gestured for Lei Lie and Zhou Yan to come closer and place their hands on her. Then she activated her refraction ability again, making the two invisible once more.
Immediately afterwards, he activated Gu Qiaoqiao's third-tier spiritual energy illusory image, creating a clone.
Soon, Wolf Moon felt a wetness appear before her eyes, as if something was slowly flowing. She blinked, and the blood film that had been covering her eyes dissolved, and her vision became clear again.
She stared at it intently, and choked.
There were two Chen Moxins standing in the field!
Their clothes, their posture, and even the smug smiles on their lips were all exactly the same.
Wolf Moon tentatively walked around a few steps to the left and right, trying to judge whether the scene in front of her was real from different angles. But no matter which way she looked, the two Chen Moxins were moving in sync, and even raised their hands to greet her at the same time.
"Hello, Your Majesty."
"Hello, Your Majesty."
Wolf Moon felt a sudden darkness engulf his vision.
This thing really can create clones?!
"I already told you, this is my ability. We agreed beforehand that I could use my psychic energy freely, and creating clones to assist in battle isn't against the rules, right?"
"...But that's not right. I heard three people hitting me just now, and the footsteps were different, so it didn't seem to be the same person."
"I didn't say I could only create one clone. I can create several clones, and I can decide the height, weight, and size of each clone myself."
As Chen Moxin on the left was speaking, Chen Moxin on the right began to speak sarcastically: "What, do you expect me to show you my abilities in their entirety? I mean, are you just making excuses beforehand?"
"If you think my ability to create clones is too strong and you can't handle it, then let's negotiate as soon as possible. I can go easy on you and you don't need to create clones."
"Don't come back after the fight is over and you can't afford to lose, then use the clone as an excuse to deny everything."
Wolf Moon's blood pressure soared at this sarcastic remark: "What are you babbling on about?! I just felt something was off and asked, I didn't say you couldn't use it! Just explain it clearly and that's it! Come on, keep fighting!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wolf Moon's vision was once again enveloped in endless crimson, and all the scenery was submerged, just like before.
It was clear that Chen Moxin had used the same trick again, manipulating the blood membrane to reattach to Lang Yue's eyeballs, thus obscuring her vision.
"You're using this trick again?!" Wolf Moon was so angry that she jumped up and down on the spot. But she had seen it once before, so she was used to it now. She quickly gritted her teeth, steadied herself, and squatted down again, like a beast ready to hunt.
At the same time, Lei Lie and Zhou Yan broke away from Chen Moxin, and the three of them, along with their clones, launched an attack simultaneously, surrounding Lang Yue from four directions—front, back, left, and right—at an astonishing speed.
Four figures approached each other like lightning, their clothes fluttering as they moved at high speed, creating a rather imposing scene.
An ordinary person would have no way to cope with such an attack while blind.
But Wolf Moon is no ordinary human. Her highly sensitive beast ears twitch constantly, capturing the surrounding air disturbances and footsteps, and she can also sense the surging heat in the air, the shifting airflow, and the vibrations from the ground.
Faced with that powerful animal instinct, even if one loses sight, the remaining senses can still unleash a sharpness that humans do not possess.
Lei Lie was the first to attack. In his Suwei form, his muscles bulged and coiled, his skin had a mutated, iron-gray texture, and his thick, sharp claws slashed down from top to bottom like blades.
Its force was so fierce that it tore a substantial air wave in the air, and the airflow rushed towards the ground, raising a circle of dust ripples.
Wolf Moon sensed the attack coming at her head. Without taking a step back, she raised her arms and blocked Lei Lie's blow.
"boom!!"
The impact spread out instantly the moment the two clashed.
Lei Lie's full-force attack forced Lang Yue's feet deep into the ground, causing the surrounding floor tiles to shatter inch by inch. Several bloody gashes appeared on his arms, his skin was torn apart by the immense pressure, blood splattered, and his joints made a chilling cracking sound.
Lei Lie, undeterred, continued to exert his strength, his body sinking down, attempting to crush Lang Yue completely with brute force.
However, he soon realized something was wrong.
