The secret behind the Ghost Shadow King's speed

A terrifying Mental Shock suddenly erupted, catching everyone off guard. The Ghost Shadow King's methods were truly ruthless. This attack not only delayed Zhuge Xiang's time and allowed him to secretly gather strength, but it also spared none of the Asura and Female Rakshasa from Demon Hand Mountain.

With a ruthless move, Zhuge Xiang's head felt as if it had been smashed by a hammer. Wu Xuemei, who was already suffering from the mental backlash, let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground, her eyes glazed over, her consciousness almost crumbling.

Swish...

Ghost Shadow King flashed and pounced on Zhuge Xiang. Caught off guard, Ghost Shadow King arrived in front of Zhuge Xiang in an instant, catching him off guard. Without thinking, Zhuge Xiang immediately activated his Knockback Skill, trying to send Ghost Shadow King Knockback.

However, just as Zhuge Xiang's Sword Slash, Ghost Shadow King suddenly changed his move, using the Asura Claw to grab the Infant Explosion Bomb from Zhuge Xiang's hand. With a twist of his wrist, he forcefully snatched the Infant Explosion Bomb away.

At the same time, Zhuge Xiang's Dragon's Judgment Sword struck the Asura King, sending him Knockback. However, the Knockback Skill not cause any damage.

The only weapon that could threaten Ghost Shadow King, the Infant Explosion Bomb, was also taken away by him. Zhuge Xiang's heart tightened, and he dared not hesitate for a moment. He Explosive Steps forward, grabbed Wu Xuemei had fallen down, and fled into the distance.

"Hmph, at this point, do you think he can still escape?" Watching Zhuge Xiang fly away on his sword, fleeing into the distance, Ghost Shadow King sneered and gave chase. His speed was extremely fast, at least much faster than Zhuge Xiang's...

"Hmm? His speed? It really has decreased?" However, although Ghost Shadow King 'Ghost Shadow King speed was very fast, Zhuge Xiang noticed that compared to his previous ghostly speed, Ghost Shadow King's speed had decreased by at least several levels.

Just after Zhuge Xiang snatched the Infant Explosion Bomb from his hand, Zhuge Xiang noticed that Ghost Shadow King's speed had decreased significantly. If he hadn't been hit by Ghost Shadow King's Mental Shock and momentarily lost his focus, Ghost Shadow King would never have been able to take the Infant Explosion Bomb away.

Previously, Zhuge Xiang thought he might be seeing things. But now, seeing the speed at which Ghost Shadow King was catching up, Zhuge Xiang was certain that his speed had indeed decreased significantly.

Why did his speed decrease? As the Asura King, Zhuge Xiang knew that the Ghost Shadow King was not injured, yet his speed had decreased. Was there some difference? Could it be...?

As Zhuge Xiang pondered the reason for the Ghost Shadow King's decreased speed and considered the differences, a flash of inspiration struck him. A surprising idea emerged: if this were true, perhaps the Ghost Shadow King 'Zhuge Xiang Movement Speed wasn't actually that fast.

"I never expected that I miscalculated. That Ghost Shadow King was actually Ghost Cultivator..." Wu Xuemei was being carried away by Zhuge Xiang as they fled into the distance, but the Ghost Shadow King was getting closer and closer behind them. She was extremely weak and her spirit was severely damaged. Her words were filled with helpless sighs and a trace of despair.

"Don't rush to leave your last words. Perhaps we still have a chance to escape, or even kill him..." However, upon hearing Wu Xuemei's words, Zhuge Xiang did not give up. A special light flashed in his eyes.

If I were to slay an Asura King, I wonder how much experience I would gain, and what valuable items he would drop?

"You..." The light in Zhuge Xiang's eyes, his unwavering persistence even in such a desperate situation, made Wu Xuemei stare in astonishment. Looking at Zhuge Xiang, his Demonic True Body, his face was ferocious, but for some reason, Wu Xuemei felt that Zhuge Xiang seemed much more pleasing to the eye at this moment.

"You... you shouldn't have fallen for my illusion?" After staring at Zhuge Xiang for a long time, Wu Xuemei Zhuge Xiang asked him.

Although it was just a question, the tone was full of certainty. "With your temperament and the Mental Shock of that Ghost Shadow King just now, I couldn't withstand it, but you did. How could you possibly fall for my Mental Illusion?"

"Not bad..." Now that he had been seen through, Zhuge Xiang no longer intended to hide anything. Taking a deep breath, he stopped running and focused all his attention on his Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform. Success or failure depended entirely on his mental state...

Within the Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform, the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda stands like a Sky Pillar supporting the Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform. A divine sword lies horizontally within, the Sword Soul of Zhuge Xiang. However, this divine sword is now riddled with cracks and dimmed. The Sword Soul, formed from Zhuge Xiang's spirit, is a sword of wisdom that cuts through all illusions. Yet now, Zhuge Xiang's Sword Soul is dim and cracked. This is because the Ghost Shadow King's Mental Shock has severely damaged Zhuge Xiang's Sword Soul. Now, Zhuge Xiang has only one goal: to allow his Sword Soul to once again radiate divine light...

Holding the Dragon's Judgment Sword, Zhuge Xiang's mind was completely immersed in the Sword Soul and the sword in his hand. He opened his mind and used the sword to nourish his spirit, rapidly repairing the damage to the Sword Soul.

"What? You know you can't escape, so you give up?" At this moment, Ghost Shadow King had caught up. Seeing that Zhuge Xiang had actually stopped, he asked with a smile. Holding the Infant Explosion Bomb, without the threat, Ghost Shadow King regained his previous confidence that everything was under his control.

Wu Xuemei also looked at Zhuge Xiang with surprise. Zhuge Xiang's words just now might even have the potential to kill Ghost Shadow King. Although his expression was very attractive and even trustworthy, Ghost Shadow King was, after all, a king, a powerful existence comparable to the Void Returning Stage. He was only at the True Essence Realm. Could he really do it?

"Give up? Why should I give up?" Looking at the Ghost Shadow King standing in front of him, Zhuge Xiang said calmly, "Your speed is fast, but in my opinion, it's just an illusion. In fact, your speed is not fast at all, and it's even slower than mine. Do you think you can keep deceiving me?"

"Oh?" Zhuge Xiang's words caused Ghost Shadow King's expression to change slightly.

Seeing the change in Ghost Shadow King's expression, Wu Xuemei was secretly shocked. Zhuge Xiang was right? Ghost Shadow King wasn't actually that fast? But his attacks before were so fast they were impossible to react to. What happened then?

"How did you figure it out?" Upon hearing that Zhuge Xiang had actually seen through his secret, Ghost Shadow King's expression became much more serious. He stared at Zhuge Xiang and asked, believing that he hadn't revealed any flaws and that the other party couldn't possibly have seen through it.

Although he also suspected that Zhuge Xiang's actions were a delaying tactic, Ghost Shadow King believed that Wu Xuemei was almost powerless and that the Infant Explosion Bomb was in his hands, so they couldn't possibly cause any more trouble. Therefore, Ghost Shadow King decided to listen to how Zhuge Xiang discovered his secret.

"At first, you were very fast, and I did think it was because of your speed. But now, although you are still fast when you chase me, you are much slower than before. In fact, your speed has never changed. What has changed is my perception." Looking at Ghost Shadow King, Zhuge Xiang said, his words were questioning but his tone was certain.

"It's amazing that you were able to detect that. It seems your mental strength is quite strong," Ghost Shadow King said, not directly answering Zhuge Xiang's question, but his words were already a response to Zhuge Xiang.

"When you appeared earlier, I could sense an invisible fluctuation, but I didn't investigate it. This fluctuation appeared several more times afterward. Combined with your powerful Mental Shock just now, your speed suddenly decreased. If I'm not mistaken, your so-called speed is actually your mental power influencing our perception, making us feel that you are very fast."

Snap snap snap...

Zhuge Xiang's analysis earned him Ghost Shadow King's admiration, who generously applauded him. "Excellent! Your analysis is meticulous and very reasonable. I must say, I realized I underestimated you. It's a pity you have such a brilliant mind, but you're too stubborn. Otherwise, I might have spared your life..."

"Don't be so polite, otherwise I'd be embarrassed to kill you," Zhuge Xiang said with a smile, staring at Ghost Shadow King.

At the same time, the Sword Soul within Zhuge Xiang's Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform once again emitted a dense divine light, and the influence of the Ghost Shadow King's spiritual power was eliminated by Zhuge Xiang.

After being repaired again, Zhuge Xiang's Sword Soul seemed to have become even stronger. Moreover, the Mental Shock from Ghost Shadow King had obviously consumed a lot of his mental energy. Now that his Sword Soul had been restored, Zhuge Xiang easily removed the perception that Ghost Shadow King had imposed on him.

"Kill me? Did I hear that right? What makes you so confident?" Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words that he actually wanted to kill him, Ghost Shadow King could hardly believe his ears.

Is this guy too confident? Or even arrogant? Just because he withstood a few of my attacks, he thinks he can kill me? He thinks he can figure out the secret of my speed, does he think he's immune to my mental power?

Whether Zhuge Xiang is arrogant or not is another matter, and Zhuge Xiang himself wouldn't care. He only has one thought right now, which is to kill, to slay this Ghost Shadow King.

Zhuge Xiang took out a Pill and popped it into his mouth. It was another Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine, granting him another minute of no cooldown on his system Skill. Zhuge Xiang activated his Explosive Steps and pounced towards Ghost Shadow King.

Without the influence of mental energy on his perception, Zhuge Xiang's speed became even more elusive and ghostly. It had always been Ghost Shadow King who used his speed to suppress others, but now, with Zhuge Xiang's Infinite Explosive Steps, it was Zhuge Xiang's speed that was suppressing him.

Swish, swish, swish...

Zhuge Xiang activated his Explosive Steps, his movements so fast they were almost invisible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, Zhuge Xiang's sword had struck Ghost Shadow King dozens of times, leaving him unable to defend himself. The speed was terrifying, unbelievably fast. (To be continued...)
