Second Fastest Man

Sixth King Hall withdrew his gaze and looked at the silver-haired man opposite him, narrowing his scarlet eyes.

"Space Lord, you really do haunt us."

"Huh? Who were you again?"

Space Lord looked puzzled, as if he were trying to remember something. A moment later, realization dawned on him and he said,

"I remember you! Aren't you the weakest one? I recall Junior Sister tearing both your legs to shreds back then. Oh? They've grown back now."

Sixth King Hall's eyes instantly darkened. Space Lord's damn mouth was simply hateful. If he had not been so strong, someone would have beaten him to death long ago!

Boom!

Just then, Mu Zi suddenly erupted with brilliant power. A luminous jade palm appeared in the sky and pressed down, and Third King Hall and Four Kings Hall, their strength failing, instantly plummeted from the sky. Amid a heaven-shaking, earth-shuddering rumble, the ground gained the imprint of a woman's palm.

Immediately after, Mu Zi tapped the air and turned into a flying rainbow, diving down from the horizon with dense killing intent, locking onto the two demons below, intent on wiping them out completely.

"Hmph!"

Sixth King Hall's eyes changed slightly. With a shift of his body, he was about to move to intercept her. However, Space Lord flashed out, power surging around him, and blocked Sixth King Hall's path.

"What's the rush? Play with me!"

Faced with Space Lord's entanglement, Sixth King Hall did not dare be careless and could only give it his all. The former's unpredictable appearances and disappearances left him helpless, and he could not spare any power at all to support Third King Hall and the other.

"Heh."

Yet though Sixth King Hall could not get away, he was not frantic. Instead, there was a trace of eeriness about him.

Below, Mu Zi dove down. Boundless red light condensed into a giant blood-colored fist and smashed toward the two battered demonic figures. A tragic killing intent spread out, as if the sky itself had turned crimson.

"Sigh!"

A sigh came from within space, seemingly somewhat helpless. Then a figure wrapped entirely in pitch-black armor suddenly appeared, staring at the blood-red giant fist ahead with an extremely grave gaze.

Crack!

After an all-out collision, cracks spread across the blood-colored light fist, and then it exploded with a roar. A fierce shockwave vented outward, forcing that pitch-black figure to retreat again and again through the sky.

Bang!

After steadying himself, the figure's shoulder jolted. A surge of impact was forced out of his body and burst open, instantly shattering a stretch of the void and leaving behind spatial cracks that were difficult to heal.

"So strong!"

The figure stood in front of Third King Hall and the other, looking at the peerless figure opposite him, deep dread flashing through his eyes.

In the clash just now, he had clearly fallen into a disadvantage and had even found her somewhat difficult to withstand. Even when facing the Devouring Lord at his peak, it would not have been like this. The person before him was truly terrifying!

"Pfft!"

Behind him, Four Kings Hall spat out another mouthful of demonic blood. He had a deep understanding of this point.

In their earlier exchange, they could sense that Mu Zi had actually grown braver the longer she fought. Her fist intent had become more and more terrifying, as though she had broken through during the battle.

By the end, no matter how Four Kings Hall and the other erupted, they were inevitably forced into a dead end!

If Mu Zi's strength at the beginning had only been slightly above Third King Hall's, then now, if she faced Third King Hall at his peak again, she would definitely win even more easily, crushing him outright.

To have reached this level and still improve by such a degree in such a short time was simply absurd. They had never seen anyone like this!

In truth, that was exactly the case. Mu Zi walked the path of the pinnacle of combat. The pinnacle of martial arts shattered the heavens and moved the universe!

To put it simply, she needed to fight often. Quietly comprehending the Dao did not entirely suit her.

And the Self-Sacrificing Demon Fist was precisely killing intent, making it the best fit for the path of combat. It could be tempered in battle.

The two great King Halls, as opponents, allowed Mu Zi to use her full strength. They were excellent touchstones. As the battle continued and she urged on her Self-Sacrifice Intent again and again, the foundation Mu Zi had accumulated sublimated bit by bit, turning into comprehension that merged into it and blossomed with even more dazzling light.

In the sky, the last figure to appear solidified at this moment, revealing a dignified face. But now, there was dread in his expression.

"Second King Hall greets Your Excellency!"

Swish!

After Second King Hall appeared, Space Lord and Sixth King Hall also stopped fighting and flashed to the side, each occupying one side as they faced each other in confrontation.

Third King Hall and Four Kings Hall also rose into the air, their auras listless and no longer possessing their former might. Both demons looked toward Mu Zi with dark expressions. How many years had it been? No one had ever been able to force them to this point!

"Tsk, tsk."

Beside Mu Zi, Space Lord looked at the miserable state of the two demons, the expression on his face rather vivid. Mu Zi's fierce battle record had clearly shocked him.

"Brother—miss, fierce! Those two aren't easy to deal with, yet you actually beat them this badly. You're really something!"

Mu Zi glanced lightly at the silver-haired man. Why did Space Lord's praise not sound like anything good?

"Thank you for your help."

"Dealing with those Yimo is our responsibility to begin with. Since you were willing to act, we should be the ones thanking you."

Space Lord looked slightly embarrassed and somewhat ashamed. Letting a young woman fight alone in a bloody battle for so long made him, as an Ancient Lord, feel very ashamed.

"It's not like we could let you fight them all alone, right?"

Mu Zi withdrew her gaze and did not comment. What she was thanking him for was not the other party's "rescue." Even if the experts of Demon Prison had all come out in full force, she could have taken everyone and escaped safely.

Rather, the Ancient Lord had acted and stopped Demon Prison's reinforcements, giving Mu Zi a chance to leave the enemy here completely. That was the reason she thanked him.

The two sides faced off. Second King Hall, who stood at the head, flickered his gaze as he weighed the strength of both sides.

"How about we stop here?"

Second King Hall glanced covertly at Ying Huanhuan in the distance, a ripple flashing through his eyes.

Although the Lord of Ice had successfully reincarnated, she had not recovered much power. This had originally been an excellent chance to strangle her in the cradle. Unfortunately, Mu Zi had appeared, leaving them no way to act.

Second King Hall looked toward Mu Zi and said coldly,

"We have the advantage in numbers now. If we force a battle, you won't gain anything."

Mu Zi's gaze came over. Her face was expressionless as she said indifferently,

"Are you sure?"

Stared at by her calm eyes, Second King Hall, for some reason, felt his heart suddenly chill. The demonic Qi within his body even trembled, as if he were facing some great terror.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Second King Hall's face turned solemn, and a terrifying aura spread out from him.

"You can try!"

Behind him, the auras of Sixth King Hall and the other two spread out at the same time, forming a confrontation with Mu Zi and Space Lord.

Four auras: two were fierce and powerful, while the other two were somewhat weakened. Although they held the numerical advantage, they were unable to gain the upper hand.

Boom!

Just then, an extremely loud peal of thunder suddenly resounded between heaven and earth. At the end of their sight, a world of thunder spread over at an astonishing speed. Amid the thunder that filled the sky, a tall figure came walking over on lightning.

"Thunder Lord!"

When he saw this figure walking over with lightning beneath his feet, Second King Hall's eyes abruptly changed. The balance had been broken.
