The Divine Spear launched another attack.
It seed that what he relied upon to be aggressive and domineering was the violent power granted by his Great Success Rank. Whether it was the way he barged in without restraint earlier or the arrogance of striking without explanation upon arrival, it was mostly because he believed he possessed enough power to dominate the entire scene.
I wasn’t naive enough to think that he would simply cease his actions, but from a rational perspective, since I had demonstrated a power that frustrated his expectations, unless he had a sufficient motive, he shouldn’t continue with such a domineering attitude. Was it simply his reckless nature, or did he actually have a secret mission that compelled him to persist?
Seeing the spear tip rcilessly piercing toward , I didn’t recklessly attempt to defend. Instead, I initiated Fla Transmission to dodge.
However, my evasion failed.
It was neither a failure in activating Fla Transmission, nor was it that my speed couldn’t keep up with his attack.
Admittedly, his attack was incredibly fast, describing it as lightning-fast was no exaggeration. From the mont I realized he had moved to when the attack hit , not even a millisecond had passed; yet at this very mont, my conscious processing speed was even superior to that, and in an instant, I had teleported behind him, ready to counterattack from his blind spot.
However, sothing bizarre happened. Logically, after teleporting, I should have seen his back. Instead, I saw him facing this way and launching an attack. If not for the changes in the surrounding scene, I would have thought I hadn’t activated Fla Transmission at all.
Was it that he had coordinated with my Fla Transmission, turning his body while dodging to change the direction of his attack? Absolutely not. Paradoxically, in my perception, it was as though he had launched the attack facing the point where I teleported right from the start.
"Past" was altered at that mont.
For others, what seed like an incredibly fast spear attack was the speed of a normal attack to . Even so, I nearly lost the chance to dodge. The spear tip had already touched my chest. At that instant, I exceeded the limit of my conscious control and reflexively initiated Fla Transmission again.
This ti I teleported outside the reception room. Originally, this location was the hallway of the Luoshan Office, but now, due to our confrontation, it had turned into an open-air ruin. I still hadn’t dodged the attack of the Divine Spear. The bizarre occurrence continued; it was as if the Divine Spear had been standing there all along waiting for to co to him. He was still making a thrusting motion, and the spear tip undeniably pierced my chest.
It’s said that the Divine Spear’s spear, once deployed, would undoubtedly hit its target; once it hit, it would absolutely penetrate.
The pain that exploded in my consciousness was many tis more intense than the attack I had suffered from Chen Long in the past.
This was a pain on the level of the soul.
The last ti I was hit by Chen Long’s attack, I could still describe it with references or similar examples from my past life; now, I couldn’t, because I had never experienced this kind of pain in my life before. Lu Youxun once said that the damage Chen Long caused was just considered an injury by "everyday life standards".
The injury the Divine Spear caused, however, was sothing unseen in everyday life, a true "combat injury". If I was a normal human being of flesh and blood, being brutally pierced in the chest by a sword would probably feel like this.
I didn’t know if this was purely because of the Divine Spear’s imnse strength, or because of his "Guaranteed Hit and Penetration" special power taking effect—no doubt, my soul was directly penetrated by this strike.
Now, I felt like a fish brutally speared by a harpoon, even my feet off the ground, lifted by the spear.
This phenonon of unavoidable attack was probably the power of the "Guaranteed Hit and Penetration" superpower, presud to achieve the result of making the opponent’s evasion ineffective by modifying established facts... No, sothing seed off. I had encountered the superpower "Shadow Swapping" before which also had the power to modify established facts, but this "Guaranteed Hit and Penetration" superpower exuded an even more transcendent aura.
For this "Guaranteed Hit and Penetration" superpower, modifying established facts might just be "one of the secondary phenona". As long as the result is a guaranteed hit and penetration of the target, the process doesn’t matter much. Perhaps even if I could burn away the cause and effect of Divine Spear’s attack penetrating like I did against the Shadow Swapping Monster, the Divine Spear could still concoct other reasons to achieve his goal of inflicting harm. This was probably this kind of unreasonable superpower, just like its user’s style.
However, an injury of this magnitude was still far from enough to make surrender.
On the contrary, I might be getting a bit excited now.
"—Hm?" Divine Spear seed to realize sothing odd, "No blood?"
A body ford of flas bleeding would indeed be strange. Of course, if he wanted to see blood, I wasn’t against playing along and creating a semblance of it for him. But judging by his reaction, he didn’t even know I could Elentalize?
Bewildered, I swiftly raised my right hand and grasped the spear shaft that had impaled .
It is said that in critical monts, a person secretes large amounts of adrenaline to numb their pain, allowing many ordinary individuals, when grievously injured and facing a life-and-death crisis, to miraculously muster the strength to escape from peril. I didn’t know if souls also had adrenaline, but at least I wasn’t hampered by the intense pain; instead, I beca extrely lucid.
Flas burst from the palm of my hand, surging fiercely toward him.
I didn’t know whether he had summoned the spear or ford it with his own power. Before the flas reached him, he made the spear disappear first. However, my flas were not actually moving along the spear shaft; that was just for show. Under my ntal command, the flas still struck his arm, which he hadn’t withdrawn in ti.
As I landed on the ground, he hurriedly retreated and intense mana fluctuations erupted from his arm, clearly to defend against and dispel the flas.
He had successfully defended against my flaming kick previously and probably thought he could easily fend it off this ti as well. However, he might have misunderstood the power of my attacks. My kick in the last round hadn’t caused substantial damage because Mazao was very close, and I had held back, rely trying to push him away. This ti, I showed no rcy.
The flas rcilessly penetrated his right arm, eliciting a wretched scream from him.
His flesh swiftly charred and carbonized in the flas. The fire expanded and was about to spread over his entire body.
Just in the nick of ti, he raised his left hand to his right shoulder, a sharp silver light flashing in his palm. His burning right arm fell to the ground as he dodged to a distance. Truly worthy of being Chen Long’s forr teammate, faced with the sa situation, he made the sa decisive choice as Chen Long had in the past, unhesitatingly sacrificing his limb.
And it wasn’t just his attack power; his speed was much faster than Chen Long’s, preventing more flas from reaching his torso, otherwise, I could have set his entire body ablaze just as I had done with Chen Long previously.
But that was alright. My attack wasn’t sothing one could easily dodge just because they were fast; using a massive Fire Sea to block his escape route was also a strategy. I wondered if he could recover from being burned to a charred state, just like Chen Long had.
I was eager to try.
"Senior Brother Zhuang!"
Zhu Shi’s anxious voice ca from behind, seemingly worried after seeing impaled by the spear. But our confrontation had been too fast, and by the ti she shouted, I had already turned the tables.
However, her voice snapped out of my murderous thoughts. Right, I still didn’t know if Divine Spear had Impermanence backing him, so I shouldn’t rashly burn him to death. In fact, just a second before Divine Spear had appeared, I rembered this, but as soon as I saw him daring to attack Mazao, I’d tossed all those considerations aside.
Even now, I hadn’t completely abandoned the intent to kill him.
In my perception of what was behind , Zhu Shi seed to want to co closer to but hesitated, possibly worried about interfering with the fight. Mazao also tensed his face and did not rashly advance.
On the other hand, after so thought, Lu Youxun ca forward directly.
Before he could speak, Divine Spear seized the initiative while enduring the agony of his severed limb, "Lu Chan... this kid’s strength is nothing like what you reported."
Lu Youxun responded unflinchingly, "Evil has the right to keep so of its power information confidential, and as a Patrol, it’s my duty to fulfill Evil’s needs in this regard."
Divine Spear coldly said, "Do you think you’re still the old Lu Chan, to speak to like that?"
Lu Youxun had once promised not to report my true power level to his superiors.
Divine Spear, as a Great Success Rank Evil of Luo Mountain, likely held a position just below that of the Impermanence; and within the subset of Transcendentalism Mountain, he must also hold a very high position. Even soone like him didn’t know my details, showing that Lu Youxun truly honored our agreent.
If Divine Spear had known my capabilities beforehand, perhaps he wouldn’t have attacked imdiately. However, it can’t be said that Lu Youxun was being well-intentioned but harmful. Rather than letting the opponent show a veneer of sincerity while secretly baring his fangs, it was more satisfying to reveal true attitudes from the start.
With a gaze as sharp as a knife, Divine Spear stared at Lu Youxun before shifting his attention to .
