Blame the Clone, Not Me
The two of them walked into the dark alley one after another.
Only when they were far away from the crowd and the surroundings were quiet did Zhou Zhihai turn around and say,
...
âI didnât want to get the information wrong either. Who would have thought Lin Shenâs strength could increase so quickly⊠Has anyone accepted the mission?â
Unexpectedly, a faint smile appeared on the manâs face when he heard Zhou Zhihaiâs question.
âIt really is you.â
âWhat do you mean?â
Zhou Zhihai looked at the man in astonishment. He immediately realized what was going on, and his expression changed drastically.
âYouâre not from Lurking Snake!â
Zhou Zhihai suddenly felt extremely uneasy. Without thinking, he quickly backed away.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
A blinding red light suddenly lit up in his vision. It was like a blazing sun breaking through the clouds and instantly tearing apart the darkness in the alley!
Seeing this, Zhou Zhihai widened his eyes in shock and exclaimed,
âYouâve reached Perfection in Blazing Sun Palm!â
As soon as he finished speaking, a scorching heat wave swept over like a tidal wave, drowning him as he watched in horror.
Thump!
Zhou Zhihai was sent flying like a kite with a broken string!
While he was still in mid-air, he spat out a large mouthful of blood. The blood was extremely hot, and before it landed on the ground, it evaporated into a large cloud of blood mist.
Thump!
Zhou Zhihai fell heavily to the ground. His entire body seemed to have been burnt by fire, and his limbs couldnât stop twitching.
Under the dim light, one could see a red palm print on his chest. Large blisters appeared on his skin, and in the blink of an eye, they melted into a blood-red color. Finally, they dried up and looked like burnt leather.
The power of the Blazing Sun Palm in Perfection enhanced by the Pure Yang Body was extremely powerful. Zhou Zhihai took this blow head-on and was hit at a vital spot like his chest. His internal organs were almost cooked. As he panted violently, he exhaled white smoke that was visible to the naked eye. It was obvious that he didnât have long to live.
âHeh⊠HehâŠâ
Zhou Zhihaiâs face contorted in pain. Veins popped out of his red neck as he stared at the man in front of him.
He was filled with despair, horror, and confusion.
He couldnât figure out who this person was and why he was attacked.
Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to know the answer to this question.
Zhou Zhihai could clearly feel his life force rapidly draining away.
Before he fell into the eternal darkness, the scene left behind in his vision was the man slowly distorted and disappearing like a reflection in the lake hit by a stone.

At the entrance of the academy more than 200m away,
Yang Zhongyi was calling Lin Shen and Su Nian to get into the car when he suddenly saw a commotion in the crowd in the distance.
Many people screamed loudly, and he could vaguely hear the words âdeadâ and âWillow Academyâ.
A few students from the academy ran back with panicked expressions and rushed toward the academyâs entrance. It seemed they wanted to inform the teacher.
Yang Zhongyi reached out to stop one of them and asked,
âWhat happened?â
The student recognized Yang Zhongyi. Seeing who was asking, he had to answer the question.
âSomeone died in the alley ahead!â
âWho is it? Someone from our academy?â
âThatâs right. Itâs Zhou Zhihai!â
Yang Zhongyi was shocked.
At this moment, a series of ripping sounds suddenly came from behind. A few figures passed by at lightning speed and rushed towards the distant alley.
They were the teachers who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Seeing this, Yang Zhongyi immediately followed them.
âLetâs go take a look!â
Lin Shen and Su Nian looked at each other and followed Yang Zhongyi right away.
When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the alley, it was already surrounded by people.
âI heard Zhou Zhihai was dead?â
âThatâs right. I took a look just now. He died miserably. His body was blood-red, like a cooked prawn!â
âWhy does it sound like a sign of being hit by the Blazing Sun Palm?â
The crowd discussed animatedly.
After all, Zhou Zhihai was a student of Willow Academy, but he died in its vicinity. Naturally, many people stopped to watch the commotion.
Some pitied him, some were scared, and some people gloated.
Because Zhou Zhihai was a disciple of an influential family, he often tyrannized the academy. Now that he had died tragically in the alley, those who had been bullied by him would only feel he deserved it.
With Yang Zhongyi leading the way, the three teenagers successfully squeezed into the front of the crowd.
In the dark alley, three teachers were examining the corpses with solemn expressions.
The leader was Kong Hong.
âWhat a powerful palm force!â
Kong Hong stared at the charred palm print on the corpseâs chest in astonishment.
âBlazing energy seeped into his body. Not only were his internal organs almost roasted, but more than half of his blood had also evaporated. Itâs very likely that the perpetratorâs Blazing Sun Palm has already reached Perfection!â
Hearing this, the two teachers beside him immediately took a deep breath, their faces filled with shock.
Perfection in Blazing Sun Palm!
Only a handful of teachers in the entire Willow Academy could reach this level of martial arts technique!
For example, the three of them had only reached Mastery in Blazing Sun Palm.
âIn that case, the perpetrator should be a Long Breath Stage cultivator!â
âItâs very likely. Even if theyâre not that, they should be at least at the later stage of the Qi Transformation Stage!â
Kong Hongâs expression was abnormally solemn.
It wasnât easy to cultivate any martial technique, even the most basic ones, to Perfection!
Although Mastery and Perfection were only one step away, many cultivators would never be able to cross this threshold in their entire lives.
For example, the three of them had been stuck at Mastery for seven to eight years and had yet to break through this barrier.
Talent wasnât the only factor. It was also because they needed to divert their attention to cultivate other martial techniques.
No matter what, since the perpetrator was able to reach Perfection in Blazing Sun Palm, they had to have an advanced cultivation level.
Even if they werenât at the Long Breath Stage, they were definitely at the eighth or ninth level of the Qi Transformation Stage!
âWe need to report this!â
Kong Hong rubbed the space between his eyebrows in frustration. With such a sudden incident, the teachers would be very busy for a while.
Suddenly, Kong Hong recalled something and instructed the others,
âWe also have to inform the Martial Enforcement Hall!
âDidnât one of our students die in the Northern District some time ago? Zhou Zhihaiâs death might have something to do with this!â
The two teachers looked at each other and nodded heavily.
At the entrance of the alley,
Yang Zhongyi heard the three teachersâ analysis clearly. His eyes flickered slightly as he subconsciously glanced at Lin Shen.
To be honest, the moment he heard Zhou Zhihai was killed, he immediately thought of Lin Shen.
After all, Lin Shen was the only one who had a conflict with Zhou Zhihai and had the ability to kill the latter.
However, Lin Shen was by Yang Zhongyiâs side when Zhou Zhihai died. Apart from that, judging by the analysis of the three teachers, Lin Shenâs strength didnât match that of the perpetrator.
As for hiring someone to kill Zhou Zhihai, how could Lin Shen, who came from a welfare institute, have the financial resources and channels?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhongyi couldnât help but mock himself.
He had really let his imagination run wild. How did it involve Lin Shen?
Zhou Zhihai had always been arrogant and despotic. There were countless people who hated him. Anyhow, it wasnât Lin Shenâs turn to take revenge.
Lin Shen didnât know the thoughts flashing through Yang Zhongyiâs mind. Even if he did, he wouldnât care.
He looked calmly at the scene not far away with an unperturbed expression. There was nothing suspicious about him.
He thought, âWhat do my cloneâs actions have anything to do with me?â
