“Night Lances”

Six black spears shot from Zero's palm and put six holes in the ice wall He then struck the ith a qi-strengthened pal forward, he used his qi to pull the broken pieces together before launching chunks at Dark Self

Dark Self simultaneously activated two of the iteed Zero while the light enveloped hie Zero dealt to the shi+eld, the ht would becoh the debris and approached Zero His qi and psychic poere combined into his fist as he was about to unleash his deadliestAttributes — Wood Drains Earth, Phantoe

Dark Self deactivated the shi+eld around Zero at the last second Realizing that he couldn't dodge the attack, Zero exerted all of his re Chakraainst Dark Self's attack

Crack—!

The sound of the grade chakra could be heard, along with the bones in Zero's are, he still counterattacked by kicking the wound froic power into Dark Self's veins

Both of the in opposite directions Dark Self crashed against a roof and his body glided along the tiles Meanwhile, Zero rotated his body inthree steps back to reduce thethrough his mask He stood still as he silently circulated Iic power seeped into Dark Self's body and corroded hi his skin brown He had a difficult ti his qi and couldn't fix his wound Blood poured out of hislike blood nor wound His legs were shaking when he stood up

Lookhin had successfully fled with Bluebird to a faraway place The burden on Dark Self's mind was finally removed At the saine that even Phantoe—which was derived fro-Fists—still wasn't enough to take down Zero

'We need to grow even stronger We will always be a weakling otherwise!'

“The Medical Saint's clinic is close by, Sila If you go now, you may survive Just don't block h, indicating that he was injured

Dark Self had been weakened, so Sila finally regained control over his own body His eyes returned to their usual dark brown color He quickly sent his psychic power into his veins to keep Zero's invading ainst Infernee's

Nevertheless, the serious wound and the fact that he had spent an enorreatly exhausted Sila, unlike Zero as gradually healing his broken arms

Sila activated Way of Slime to alter the form of the Crystal De it into his bloodstreah his veins and cleansed the curse attribute in Zero's ritted his teeth as he bore the pain, and took the Crystal Divine Sword out He then pointed the tip of the sword toward Zero

Zero's legs were still in perfect condition He knew he could easily catch up to Bluebird However, in order to do so, he had to defeat Sila first

Sila borrowed power from the Great Flow, and the Crystal Divine Sword responded to it The blade shone a crystal clear blue light and elow Sila was still motionless, but he had already taken action

Heaven's Decree — Seventh Sword Style, Unforeseen Sword

Zero suddenly started thinking Sila's body was full of openings he could exploit With the intuition of a martial artist, it was the best chance that anyone would unconsciously use without thinking Still, Zero noticed Sila's determined eyes and realized that it was a trap Yet, it was a trap that he felt a strong urge to jump into His intuition screamed at him that if he didn't do it now, Sila's sould soon stab him out of nowhere

The sword art that forces andan action that will be advantageous to the user How can such a bizarre sword art exist on Earth? Zero couldn't help but question what just happened

Zero caled the situation and confireous for hi out a pellet from his system , Zero removed his mask for the first tiht that you were this good, Sila You are qualified to make my desire into reality”

Zero's feeble, sickly expression couldn't hide his handsome facial features, especially his eyes which were full of vitality

“What is your desire, Mister Zero?” asked Sila

Zero shook his head “It's no longer important This will be the last time we meet There will be no Shadow Emperor in the future”

“What does that mean?”

“You will knohen our battle ends I will not hold back We will decide this battle in a single move” Zerohiently placed his e aic power, so much that his hand turned black while the rest of his body became pale It was as if the remainders of his lifespan had been transferred into this hand

Bluebird, who stood far away in human form, saw Zero's real face He was shocked and rushed back to the scene Still, the atmosphere around Sila and Zero e forward He stopped on a building one block away from the battle

“How can it be you? Narin Weren't you?”

“Dead? Right?” Zero replied, “The answer is recorded in the file hidden under this mask Keep it”

Zero kicked his s

“Look closely, Bluebird Look at et it”

Zero's body cracked and disintegrated into aat Sila His move had no start or end point It was iainst such a move seemed to be an idea that opposed the laws of nature

Sila had to simultaneously rely on tord styles He waved his sword using the sixth sword style, Fla his sword three ti Bolts to finish it

Unfortunately, Zero's last s et while the dark claw sank into Sila's chest Five fingers dug into his flesh, two knuckles deep The dreadful force invaded, harans It was the power that was hot yet cold, heavy yet light, hard yet soft, cycling endlessly

Dual Generating Attributes — Fire Creates Earth, Supernova

Since he couldn't touch Zero, Sila decided to unleash his power in the fors in the area collapsed with Sila as the center of the explosion

Within the qi explosion, Sila saw Zero's body standing still inas several ones and zeros were floating around him He showed a pleasant smile before he finally disappeared

Sila and Bluebird were left alone as The system didn't inform Sila about the fact that he had killed Zero It was as if he simply faded away

It was as if his existence siness

The sounds of people chasing after Sila caer safe for Sila and Bluebird Thinking so, Bluebird supported Sila's body and soared to the north—the region filled with dens of high levelthe citizens of Belacia City, dared to approach
