The armored man vanished from Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon’s vision. Then, he reappeared in front of Han Sen. His striking fist approached Han Sen’s belly. Just as the armored man’s fist was about to hit Han Sen, Han Sen’s body suddenly disappeared. He reappeared elsewhere. His fast escape was a product of the teleportation abilities he had been practicing.
Without a moment’s hesitation, the armored man threw another punch. And with it, his body vanished just like last time. He appeared in front of Han Sen.
Han Sen’s body blinked away again to avoid the incoming fist of the armored man.
The two of them kept flashing across the expanse of space, moving too fast for ordinary eyesight to follow. It was like they could be in the sky at one point and on the ground in the next.
Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon moved to help Han Sen, but he told them, “Stay back… you guys cannot evade his attacks. Use your power to protect yourselves, and don’t leave any of your weaknesses exposed.”
Upon hearing him, Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon stopped in their tracks. They watched Han Sen and the man in black armor do battle. Elysian Moon opened the paper umbrella in her hands. A swordlight flashed from the surface of the umbrella, then expanded to envelop the two of them. Just as Han Sen wanted, it left no weaknesses exposed.
“That man in armor isn’t using teleportation abilities,” Gu Qingcheng said with certainty, as she observed the battlefield ahead of her.
Elysian Moon nodded seriously. “It isn’t teleportation. It’s more like… It’s more like…”
“Godslayer Luo.” Gu Qingcheng finished what Elysian Moon was hesitant to say.
That old man was a lone warrior who had once obtained a foothold in the sanctuaries for humanity.
When his power reached the max, the presence he gave off was just like the one they felt from the armored man. He ignored the rules of space to kill his enemies.
“Why does the armored man have Falsified Sky powers? No, wait… that is Sky Demon power. The armored man is a Demon?” Gu Qingcheng wondered aloud.
Han Sen knew the armored man was using Sky Demon powers. He clearly wasn’t using a space-based teleportation talent. Not many powers could repel Sky Demon powers, but thankfully, Han Sen’s Dongxuan Sutra was one of the few that could.
The armored man’s absolute strikes weren’t difficult for Han Sen to break, but the armored man’s power was undeniably greater than Han Sen’s. And that meant Han Sen couldn’t defeat him.
Han Sen felt a mixture of different emotions when he looked at the armored man. He knew this attacker was different from the Demons they had encountered earlier, but he wasn’t entirely sure what the difference was.
Ji Yang Sheng and a few of the Demon elites watched the fight through a mirror. They appeared to be in shock. Even Ji Yang Sheng was floored by what he was witnessing.
“He is a very powerful guy. He has dodged every attack that the Demon Doll has thrown.” Ji Yang Sheng chewed his lip. That was what he did when he was in thought.
“No wonder Han Sen escaped harm when he was pursued by the Extreme King. He is very scary. He is dodging the attacks of the Sky Demon powers somehow. I wonder what power he has been making use of,” a few Demon elites said, their voices a mixture of admiration and trepidation.
They knew that the Demon Doll’s Sky Demon power ensured that every hit was a successful one unless the enemy possessed the same causal powers. If the enemy didn’t, not even teleportation would let them escape the Demon Doll’s strikes.
