A Type Never Encountered Before

"Bang—!"

With a deafening roar, violent lightning suddenly erupted in the royal court-like hall, unleashing a tremendous shock that sent bolts of electricity surging in all directions.

Amidst the lightning, Fang Li's body was bounced around like a ball, with arcs of electricity crackling all over his body.

"Ugh...!" Fang Li couldn't help but let out a muffled groan from deep in his throat.

However, it wasn't long before Fang Li regained control of his body, did a backflip, and landed on the ground.

Even so, Fang Li's body continued to slide on the ground until it stopped after sliding more than ten meters.

The arcs of electricity still crackled around his body, causing Fang Li to frown deeply.

Amidst the raging lightning, Sherlock's voice, a mixture of surprise and admiration, rang out.

"I tried my best to catch you off guard, but I didn't expect you to react at the last moment, jump a distance away, avoid being hit directly, and reduce the damage by more than half. That's really amazing."

However, Fang Li who really didn't expect it.

No, rather than saying I didn't expect it, it's more like I'm only just realizing it now— Sherlock actually has superpowers.

If it's taken for granted, then it is.

After all, Sherlock had already said that as the leader of I-You, he had learned the special skills of almost all the current members of I-You.

This naturally includes superpowers.

It can be said that Sherlock has absorbed the most knowledge and power in the entire I-Yuri.

Coupled with his ability to Orderly Foresight fouls, which allowed him to see through most of the Mystic Eyes of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li finally showed a troubled expression.

This is a type I've never encountered before.

Since entering the Main God Space, Fang Li has fought against all sorts of beings, and even fought against beings like Tohno Shiki, Shiki Nanaya, and Ryougi Shiki in the training grounds of the Main God Space. He already has a considerable amount of combat experience.

However, Sherlock was a type that Fang Li had never encountered before.

See through Fang Li's true intentions little by little.

Revealing Fang Li's trump card bit by bit.

Predict Fang Li's next move, drive Fang Li to the brink of defeat, and deliver a decisive blow.

They fight not only with great strength, but also with a brilliant mind.

Fang Li had never encountered this type of opponent before.

If we're talking about how difficult it is, then it's not just Father! Deus!; even Aphrodite probably can't compare to this famous detective.

How can you defeat such an opponent when you can't use Holy Mark on Sherlock?

"We have no choice but to give it a try..."

Fang Li gripped the dagger in his backhand, like a cheetah baring its fangs, and slowly lowered his body until his free hand was pressed against the ground.

He looked like a ferocious beast about to pounce on its prey.

"Oh?" Sherlock seemed to sense something, and the lightning on his body gradually began to subside, while he slowly raised the longsword in his hand.

Looking at Sherlock like this, Fang Li took a deep breath, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception flashed with a cold light.

The next moment, Fang Li suddenly pushed off the ground and shot towards Sherlock like an arrow.

However, just before that, Sherlock seemed to have anticipated Fang Li's move, and suddenly thrust his longsword into Fang Li's throat, turning it into a bolt of lightning.

Faced with this attack, Fang Li did not retreat but advanced, his speed increasing dramatically, as if he had collided with the tip of the sword that was thrusting towards him, and he sped forward.

Then, just as it was about to collide with the sword tip, the dagger in Fang Li's hand transformed into a flash of light.

"Flash Sheath -Sitsuji!"

In that instant, the blade light changed from one to four, like wind blades, meeting the incoming longsword.

"Clang—!"

The first slash deflected the incoming longsword, sparking as it struck.

"Pfft—!"

The second blade flashed through the air, but it was Sherlock's entire body that was engulfed in a powerful gust of wind as he was slashed open by the sharp dagger.

Immediately afterwards, the third and fourth blades flew directly towards Sherlock, one aimed at Sherlock neck and the other at his heart, striking Sherlock vital points.

"This move is a bit dangerous," Sherlock said with a wry smile.

However, Sherlock showed no panic whatsoever in the face of the deadly attack.

Sherlock knew that even if he entered Burst Mode, he would probably still be no match for Fang Li in terms of speed.

Therefore, Sherlock did not Fang Li's extremely fast slashes, not out of arrogance, but because he knew he couldn't avoid them.

Given this, Sherlock had no choice but to defend.

That's how the offense and defense went before.

The same is true now.

Under these circumstances, the temperature around Sherlock suddenly dropped.

"Click... click click..."

Amidst a clearly audible condensation sound, a sudden surge of cold air erupted from Sherlock's body, causing the two blades of light to freeze as if covered in ice particles.

No, what's frozen isn't the blade's light, but the weapon that unleashed it— Fang Li's Moon Blade.

Sensing the icy chill, Fang Li's pair of Ice-Blue Demon Eyes flashed again, and his hand holding the dagger suddenly trembled, shattering the ice that was gradually solidifying on it.

Even in just that short time, it still bought Sherlock precious time.

"Clang—clang—!"

Amidst the two clashes, Sherlock withdrew his longsword, which had just been deflected, and with a whirlwind-like motion, swung it up and down twice to block the two greatly slowed blades.

However, almost at the same time, a deadly flash of light streaked across the sky.

"Flash Sheath - Seven Nights!"

That was the fastest move among the Seven Nights Assassination Technique that Fang Li had learned.

A single slash, a flash of light that seemed to slice space in two, vanished from Sherlock's sight in an instant.

The lightning-fast strike left Sherlock barely able to react, managing to hold his sword in front of him.

"Clang----!"

A resounding clang, like the striking of bells, echoed throughout.

The Knight Sword, hailed by Sherlock as a treasure of England, soared high into the air.

Sherlock's weapon was finally deflected.

"Chance!"

Fang Li's pair of Ice-Blue Demon Eyes shone brightly.

"Choke----!"

The next second, amidst the melodious clinking of swords, a flash of lightning appeared once again, traversing space and time, like thunder, slashing down violently.

The target was Sherlock's head.

This strike even cut through the airflow.

Therefore, even though Sherlock sensed it through his perception of the airflow, he was completely unable to avoid it.

Just as the fatal blow was about to land on Sherlock's head, Sherlock suddenly raised his head.

"Buzz..."

A crimson light shone from his body.
