Ren Yuan exhaled slowly.
"Impressive."
Then—
He vanished.
Yao Xi's instincts screamed.
She spun, her palm flashing upward—
CLANG!
Ren Yuan's fist, wreathed in golden divine power, collided with her light-infused strike. The impact sent spatial cracks spiderwebbing through the battlefield.
He was faster now.
His Heaven's Eye pulsed, enhancing his movements beyond mortal limits.
Yao Xi's eyes narrowed.
She wouldn't let him dictate the pace.
With a thought, ten thousand spears of light materialized in the air around her, each one humming with lethal intent.
"Pierce."
They shot forward like a storm of falling stars.
Ren Yuan's third eye flickered.
"Rewrite."
Space distorted—
The spears turned mid-air, now aiming back at Yao Xi.
She didn't flinch.
She snapped her fingers.
The spears detonated prematurely, filling the battlefield with a blinding supernova.
