Seeing that he couldn't beat Mark with his fists and feet, the clone Mark began to emit energy.

Seeing this, Mark immediately stepped back, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and gathered energy to prepare for defense. The energy released by the clone Mark surged out like a flood, forming a shock wave visible to the naked eye, cracking the stone wall of the cave and splashing gravel. The gravel hit Mark's shield, making a crackling sound like frying beans. Mark barely resisted the shock wave, but was also knocked back several steps, and his back hit the stone wall heavily.

A sharp pain came from his back, Mark groaned, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but more of it was determination.

The air in the cave became turbid due to the impact of energy, and it was filled with a choking smell of dust.

The cracks on the top of the cave were getting bigger and bigger, and it might collapse at any time. Water drops dripped from the cracks, forming small puddles on the ground, making a "tick-tick" sound, which was particularly clear in the silent cave.

The replica Mark took the opportunity to stand up and condense the energy ball with both hands. The deep black energy ball rotated in his hands, making a sizzling sound of electricity, ready to give Mark a fatal blow. He was pale, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, like a bloodthirsty beast.

Mark endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and quickly condensed energy to form a golden shield in front of him.

The shield flashed with dazzling light, like a golden eggshell, protecting Mark firmly in it. The energy ball in the replica Mark's hand suddenly shot out, hitting Mark's shield, making a deafening explosion. "Boom!" With a loud bang, the whole cave shook violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

The strong light produced by the explosion illuminated the entire cave, showing the scene inside the cave clearly. The cracks on the stone wall were as dense as spider webs, and they could collapse at any time. The gravel on the ground was shaken and splashed everywhere, making crackling sounds.

The impact of the explosion shook Mark away. He flew out like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground, his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.

The clone Mark looked at Mark lying on the ground, sneered, and staggered to the cave entrance, ready to leave. His clothes were tattered, revealing a large area of ​​burned skin. Black blood flowed down the wound and dripped on the ground, making a "click, click" sound. He was pale and breathing rapidly, and he was obviously also hurt.

Suddenly, the top of the cave began to collapse, and huge stones fell from above, making a rumbling sound, like a landslide. The air in the cave was filled with dust and gravel, making it difficult to breathe.

The clone Mark's face changed, and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late. A huge rock fell from the sky, hitting the replica Mark hard and pressing him down. He screamed, but the sound was drowned by the huge collapse sound. The cave collapsed completely, burying Mark and the replica Mark inside. The huge rocks piled up together to form a hill, completely blocking the entrance of the cave.

The surrounding trees were trembling, and the fallen leaves fell one after another, like a golden rain. Birds and beasts fled in fear, screaming. The whole forest fell into chaos. The entrance of the cave was completely blocked, and no light could penetrate.

There was a dead silence in the cave, only the sound of falling stones, echoing in the darkness.

... "Cough cough..." I don't know how long it took, a weak cough broke the silence in the cave. "Still... alive..." Another weak voice sounded.

"Cough cough..." Mark struggled to cough a few times, exhaling a foul breath with the smell of soil. He slowly opened his eyes, and there was darkness in front of him, with only a few faint rays of light coming through the cracks in the rocks above. He felt severe pain all over his body, as if his bones were crushed. He tried to move his fingers, and a piercing pain came, making him gasp.

"Still... alive..." The voice of the clone Mark came from not far away, weak and hoarse.

Mark turned his head with difficulty, and with the weak light, he saw that the clone Mark's lower body was pressed by a huge rock, and his upper body was twisted and lying on the ground, motionless. His clothes were even more tattered, and black blood was still oozing from the wound.

"How... are you?" Mark's voice was hoarse and weak.

The clone Mark coughed violently several times, and a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Mark, his eyes full of pain and despair.

"I... can't move..." He said intermittently, his voice trembling.

Mark looked around and found that he was also surrounded by rubble, and his legs were pressed by a huge rock, unable to move. The rocks above his head were shaky and could collapse again at any time. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. "We... must find a way out..." The clone Mark smiled weakly, his eyes dim.

"It's useless... We... are all... going to die here..." Mark gritted his teeth, he was unwilling to die like this. He tried to recall what happened before and tried to find a way to escape. He tried to mobilize the energy in his body, but found that the energy flow was extremely slow and very weak.

"Do you... still have energy?" Mark looked at the clone Mark.

The clone Mark shook his head, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

"My energy... has been exhausted..."

The clone Mark was silent for a moment. He knew that with Mark's current energy, he could not break these boulders at all. He looked at the boulders that were pressed on his body, and then looked at the boulders that were pressing on Mark's feet, and an idea flashed through his mind.

"I... have a way..." The clone Mark took a deep breath and said slowly. He raised his right hand with difficulty and pointed at the boulder that Mark had pushed up. "I... will transfer the energy... to you and attach it to you again. With the combined strength of both of us, we can get out." Mark was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what the clone Mark meant. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "No, I would rather die than be controlled by you again!"
