Everything fell into stasis.
A young woman quietly appeared.
—Xie Shuangyan!
She spoke quickly. "Listen carefully. I only have enough strength for one move. If it can't kill the demon, everyone must flee immediately!"
Gu Qingshan immediately realized how serious things were.
"Have you ever killed a demon before?" he hurriedly asked.
"No," Xie Shuangyan replied.
"Then why are we even fighting? Just take all of us away," Gu Qingshan said.
"But this demon is different from the others," Xie Shuangyan said.
"You mean—it can ignore all kinds of suppression and damage from laws?" Gu Qingshan immediately asked.
Xie Shuangyan said eagerly, "That's right. And this is a great opportunity. It's all alone here, with no other demons to support it—there have hardly ever been opportunities like this in history!"
"Then attack!" Gu Qingshan shouted.
Xie Shuangyan reached into the air, and ripples of water immediately spread out around her arm.
The mystery of time, a spirit skill—
Ten Thousand Waters Diversion!
In an instant, the battlefield began to slip into a strange state.
All the darkness around the Nine Faces Insect Demon drew back. It stood in place, roaring, "The battle is already over, and all of you are dead!"
Everyone else, however, was caught in a different state.
The Sacrificial Dance Lady continued to release Sacred Wish Sacrifice.
Countless white balls of light flew out, dancing through the air.
In response, wisps of black mist rose from the Nine Faces Insect Demon's body, as if it were enduring the Sacrificial Dance Lady's invisible attacks.
Mu's every movement rewound. Then he darted past Gu Qingshan, his spear shining with layers of rainbow light as he fiercely stabbed at the Nine Faces Insect Demon.
—He hit!
The moment he struck, he immediately rewound, rushed forward again, and struck once more!
