Against Heaven's Will Chapter 233 Soul Splitter

'What Heavenly Artefacts were you talking about earlier?' Xuefeng asked in his mind as he didn't respond to Joker's question. If the King of Heaven was helping him, he was obviously not an easy opponent.

'As every Race, we have our own share of treasures and powerful Artefacts. The only difference is that ours are much stronger since they depend solely on Fate Qi. There are countless Heavenly Treasures in the Fate Kingdom treasury. He could literally pa.s.s any of them onto this guy and there is no way I can guess which one until he uses it,' Ming explained, getting angry once again. 'What makes me confused is why my Uncle didn't do anything. It should be against the Heavenly Rules.'

'Maybe the same reason why he didn't stop you from helping me,' Xuefeng guessed but Ming quickly denied it.

'No, that's different. I'm technically your Fate Spirit so I can do whatever I want. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d definitely didn't connect with this monster.'

Ming looked at Joker in disgust, causing him to finally react to their silence.

"Hehe, it seems like you don't like playing games. Too bad, you don't have a choice. You will be the first who plays this game with me so you should be honored," Joker called out as he pulled out a similar sword to the rest of his gang. "But first, I have to thank you. If you didn't p.i.s.s off the King of Heaven, I wouldn't become so powerful. All these years I have been a p.a.w.n but with the newest blessings, I have advanced to a knight."

He lifted his sword sideways up to his mouth before licking its edge. To their surprise, his army copied him without missing a beat. It seemed like they were all one person moving at the same time.

'Either they trained this for years or they are his puppets,' Wuying pointed out, knowing how much synergy such a move required. 'I would be betting on the latter.'

'They do look like his clones…' Ming muttered while thinking deeply.

"The game is called, Find Me! Hahaha!" Joker cried out as he burst out laughing and his group joined him, creating a creepy choir of laughter.

'Get ready! He is going to attack soon!' Xuefeng called out in warning, causing everyone to pull out their weapons. Tianshi created a Spirit Qi Shield on everyone while Yiren took out her Beast Token, releasing a swarm of Bats behind them.

Xuefeng himself sp.a.w.ned two Dragon Claws while Elemental Bracelet wrapped around him in the form of armor. Their instant transformation and display of power wasn't something to underestimate. Even the Joker stopped laughing as he glared at Xuefeng.

"Kill them!"

The whole group launched an attack at the same time without fear. Joker flew at the head of his group like a general of the legion.

'Wait! I think I figured it out!' Ming suddenly exclaimed. 'Nuwa! Soul Attack now!'

Nuwa didn't hesitate and came forward, facing Joker directly. When their eyes met, Joker shuddered and his eyes rolled backward. The whole group stopped advancing as if they suffered a blow. His soul was so weak she didn't even need a second to destroy it.

"He is dead," Nuwa announced only to hear the familiar laugh coming from one of the clones.

"Haha! You thought you could kill me this easily?!" the Joker called out as he uncovered his hood and displayed his unsightly face. "I'm Immortal! The King of Heavens has granted me an endless life! Haha! No matter how much you try to kill me, I will always—"

His words were cut as his eyes rolled back and his body dropped from the sky. He was dead once again.

'It's Soul Splitter! I finally recalled its name!' Ming announced while Joker's curses spilled.

"b.i.t.c.h! I wasn't done with my—"

He wasn't able to finish yet again as another body dropped dead. All Nuwa needed was eye contact to bring someone's Soul for a deadly duel.

'Is that a Heavenly Artefact he uses?' Xuefeng questioned.

'Yes, I almost forgot about it. We considered it useless because it didn't work on the Fate Spirits but if used on Human Soul, this Artefact was defying Heavenly Rules. As long as one has enough Fate Qi, they can endlessly replicate their Soul. One could basically live forever with an endless amount of lives,' Ming explained. 'Once he dies, he can simply switch to another clone he created for himself.'

'This… There is no way it would be this easy. There needs to be a catch,' Xuefeng pointed out.

'Yes, there is. The body he creates has to be made with Fate Qi and the Souls also constantly drain Fate Qi. It takes a lot of effort to make a strong Fate Qi body and Drakos is an example. Only someone with an immense amount of Fate Stones can use it which technically makes it useless,' Ming replied as she gave Joker group a glance. 'This guy doesn't seem to lack Fate Qi. I'm sure he is hiding another body in secret. This way even if we kill him today, he will come back like a fly.'

'Won't he eventually run out of Fate QI?'

Ming only shrugged, 'Before he does, I'm sure that b.a.s.t.a.r.d will find another way to mess with us.'

As they spoke, Nuwa killed Joker for the third time and he finally figured out what's going on. He no longer took off his hood to look at them as he cried out, "You think you are strong if you know Soul Attacks? Let me show you real strength!"

As he spoke, Joker switched to another body at the back of the group and took out a golden ball. He squeezed it and it popped open, covering them all with a golden light.

'f.u.c.k, it's the Heavenly Shield!' Ming cursed. 'They will be invincible for the next minute!'

"Kill!!!" Joker yelled right after Ming warned, charging at them at lightning speed.

Xuefeng finally saw someone moving faster than he could but when it came to battling skills, the Joker didn't stand a chance against his team.

Swoosh!

All kinds of ranged attacks flew past Xuefeng's head as his wives bombarded the enemy with skills. Drakos, Bella turned into their Beast forms and joined as well, sending a wave of continuous flames. It was enough to destroy an entire City but all they heard was laughter from the other side.

"Hahaha, all of you are going to die!"

Joker's swordsmen broke through completely unharmed and entered their close-combat zone.

Clank!

Swords clashed as the girls defended in the group while Xuefeng launched his own offense.

Fate Qi Shield? It just happened they found its nemesis!

Bang!

Two Dragon Claws pierced through the Heavenly Shield as if it didn't exist, killing two clones in one second.

'I can kill them! Hold on!' Xuefeng cried out while striking another two clones that she countered with her two b.l.o.o.d.y daggers. 'Just stall for time!'

Even if he didn't say anything, his wives were more disciplined than him. They stuck together with their backs against each other while parrying the swings and cuts.

"Quick! Cover their eyes!" Yiren ordered with her eyes golden and her bats acted immediately. They flew in between them and blocked the Joker's strikes with their own bodies.

Screee!

Blood spilled everywhere but they just kept coming to defend their Queen. Joker's sword was surprisingly sharp and the golden glow gave it an additional boost.

"f.u.c.k off!" Xuefeng cursed loudly as he killed another clone, the count entering double digits. He was the only one outside the defensive ring as he killed one after another to save his wives.

Too bad, the situation quickly turned for the worse. There were too many bats blocking the access to the ladies so Joker attacked the only person that wasn't defending.

"I came for you anyway!" Joker shouted as all the clones turned at Xuefeng, their swords piercing at Xuefeng's body.

The number of swords he had to deal with quickly multiplied.

Arrrgh!

Despite having Elemental Bracelet armor, the first sword pierced through his back, all the way to the other side. Xuefeng felt a sharp pain but his adrenaline took over as he swiftly swung behind him, ripping another clone's head.

"Xuefeng!" The girls cried out in worry, rushing to help him but a burst of wind blasted them far away.

"Stay back! I will handle thi— Ugh!"

Another sword broke through his chest only for the clone to die a second later.

"Hahahaha! Die! Die!" Joker laughed as he suicided with the rest of the clones.

There were less than half left. Even though they had no skills, there were too many to dodge them all.

Another sword found Xuefeng's body, piercing right in the middle of his stomach but this time he didn't even flinch. It seemed like Ling disabled his pain receptors, giving him more freedom as she focused on keeping him alive.

What made it worse, Xuefeng couldn't even teleport away as the swords blocked the channel of his Qi.

"It's over! I won!" Twenty Jokers called out at the same time with all their swords cutting forward when their glow suddenly lost its shine.

Their golden shield flickered before it disappeared completely, putting Joker off guard.

"Yeah, it's over," Xuefeng confirmed as he spat blood from his mouth.

Snap!
