"Now, it's time for you to die."
Shadow walked toward Gu Qingshan, one step at a time.
But Gu Qingshan ignored him.
He simply gripped a sword, raised it high—
Then plunged it viciously into the seawater!
A magnificent sight unfolded.
The boundless gray-white ocean rapidly contracted beneath the sword, shrinking into a torrent.
Whoosh—
The ocean became a river, the river became a lake, then a stream, and finally vanished into the void.
The surroundings changed.
The Black City appeared again. Gu Qingshan found himself standing in the Gladiator Arena, sword in hand.
A weary female voice came from the sword. "Remember... I want to go shopping for ten days... You're paying..."
"Okay. Thanks for the effort," Gu Qingshan said.
"You always make me sleep..."
The woman muttered one last thing, then fell silent.
At the same time, a line of glowing text appeared in the void:
"You activated Turbulence." "The Phase Realm returned to its original position and did not overlap with the current Main World."
Gu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Turbulence really worked!
"—What did you do?!" Shadow shouted.
"Nothing. I just wanted to strike first," Gu Qingshan said.
Countless skeletons flew back and sank into his body.
In the blink of an eye, boundless black mist spread from him, shrouding everything in every direction.
The black mist engulfed the surroundings, turning them into layers of shifting light and shadow.
The Main World's scenery blurred once more.
—The Art of Deceiving the World, Yesterday Once More!
"A special Phase Realm?"
Shadow cried out and stood still, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Only someone like him knew how terrifying a special Phase Realm could be.
He had struck first earlier because he feared his opponent possessed some unimaginable Phase Realm.
