And this phenomenon wasn't limited to him.
Falling Sky, who had shot into the air and slashed at Fang Yue.
Wu Feifei, who had widened her eyes and opened her mouth to say something.
And the black lightning descending from the sky.
Everything—every last thing—slowed down!
Centered on Fang Yue, time itself flowed at an extremely sluggish pace.
But everyone's thoughts and minds continued to move at their normal speed. They could only watch helplessly as they and everything around them moved in slow motion!
"How can this be?!"
"What kind of power is this?!"
"No, it's impossible!"
Shock flashed through everyone's hearts.
And among all things moving at that absolutely sluggish pace, the fastest was the black lightning, which was closest to Fang Yue.
Even in this slowed-down world, it still raced downward at a visible speed, trying to drive itself into Fang Yue.
However...
BOOM!!
Fang Yue, who had been at an absolute disadvantage just moments before, suddenly vanished!
Moving at a speed only possible under normal time flow, he easily dodged the black lightning and casually drew his sword against the oncoming strike.
HUM!!!
The instant Fang Yue moved, a sword's ringing roar erupted—far more intense than when Falling Sky had struck. It shook the eardrums of nearly everyone present.
As everyone watched, Fang Yue swung his sword!
With the motion of his swing, the dense black aura coiling around him surged into the blade like sharks catching a scent.
In an instant, the gleaming white Heavenly Sword became a sword of black flame.
Twisting strands of black aura leaped and writhed along its length, intertwining as they released a terrifying presence.
It looked like nothing more than a casual swing, yet it seemed to contain boundless power. It crushed Falling Sky's sword technique on the spot
