Chapter 5673
“What?!”
Kai’s pupils constricted, his heart filled with shock!
His time slowing technique was ineffective?
It seemed… he’d been used?
In the blink of an eye, before he could even process the thought, the accelerating fist was upon him!
“Five Elements Sword Qi, Protect Me!”
Kai roared, his five-colored sword qi erupting instantly, weaving into a dazzling sword net to protect him.
His Indestructible Golden Body activated instantly, completely enveloping him.
Simultaneously, he stomped his feet, pushing his speed to the limit, attempting to dodge the bizarre punch.
“Boom—!”
The sword net formed by the Five Elements Sword Qi shattered in less than a breath upon contact with the fist!
Although Kai tried his best to dodge, his shoulder was still grazed by the force of the punch.
“Crack!”
A clear sound of bone breaking rang out.
Kai groaned as his left shoulder caved in, excruciating pain shooting through him!
He was sent flying again, spitting out a mouthful of blood mid-air.
“Kai!”
Liu Xue could no longer hold back. With a sharp cry, her icy blue longsword transformed into a dazzling rainbow, carrying a blizzard as it slashed towards the burly man, attempting to rescue Kai.
“Get out of my way, you ant.”
The burly man didn’t even glance at her, casually flicking his wrist.
A palm wind containing
the power to distort time howled forth. As Liu Xue’s fierce sword strike approached the palm wind, it seemed to sink into quagmire, its speed drastically decreasing. Moreover, the sword light dimmed visibly, as if eroded by the passage of time, its power greatly diminished.
“Bang!”
The palm wind struck Liu Xue’s longsword. She was struck as if by a heavy blow; the sword flew from her hand, and she coughed up blood, flying backward. Yan Nantian hurriedly caught her, but her face was ashen, and her breath was weak.
“His power… can erode time…”
Liu Xue said with difficulty, her eyes filled with horror.
Yan Nantian’s face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly his nails dug into his flesh.
He wanted to step forward, but he knew that even Kai and Liu Xue were so easily defeated; if he went up, he would only be throwing his life away.
At this moment, he could only place his hopes on Kai, and on the powerful figure who might be behind Kai.
The Soul Devourer watched this scene, his smile growing increasingly pleased, as if he were enjoying this cat-and-mouse game.
Kai crashed to the ground, then quickly sprang to his feet. He didn’t bother wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth; the excruciating pain in his right shoulder and Liu Xue’s serious injury fueled his rage, but even more so, a cold rationality.
“Time… the source of time he controls is far more profound than mine!”
Kai stared intently at the burly man. “My time slowing is ineffective against him, and might even be reversed, accelerating his attack… Liu Xue’s attack was also eroded by the power of time… could it be…”
A terrifying thought surfaced in Kai’s mind.
Just then, the burly man closed in again, delivering another unadorned punch straight for Kai’s face.
This punch seemed poised to shatter his skull!
Kai gritted his teeth, fully activating his Time Slowing Domain while simultaneously unleashing the Holy Light Fist. A golden fist imprint, imbued with a solemn aura of purifying demons, blasted forth.
He wanted to experience firsthand what the opponent’s time laws were all about!
“Buzz—!”
Just as his Holy Light Fist was about to collide with his opponent’s fist, that familiar, higher-level fluctuation of time laws reappeared.
This time, Kai concentrated all his divine sense, intently sensing the change in that instant!
He “saw” it!
At the critical point of contact between their forces, on the burly man’s fist, time… underwent an extremely subtle… reversal!
Not acceleration, nor deceleration, but a true, localized, small-scale time reversal!
Although the reversal was extremely brief, perhaps less than a hundredth of a breath, it was terrifying enough!
It was this extremely subtle time reversal that forcibly “pulled back” Kai’s Holy Light Fist, at the peak of its power eruption, just before its head-on clash with his opponent, to a state where its power had just begun and had not yet reached its peak!
Taking advantage of this brief time difference, the opponent’s fist struck the weakened Holy Light Fist squarely!
The result was without suspense!
“Pfft—!”
The golden fist imprint instantly dissipated, and Kai’s Holy Light Fist was completely shattered!
The fist force containing the power of time reversal slammed into his chest again!
