Xue Lang stopped holding back. His speed and destructive power doubled, and Xu Huo could only evade his attacks by fully opening his Spiritual World.
The rays in his hands appeared clearer within the Spiritual World, but that didn't mean their attacks could be traced. On the contrary, thanks to their special power, they could even cut straight through a Space Portal.
That meant Xu Huo still had to dodge the rays as he moved through the Spiritual World. But even when their number increased to sixteen, they covered only a small portion of the relatively wide maze passage. And as long as he avoided a direct confrontation, he could move freely throughout the area covered by his Spiritual World.
After shifting his Spiritual World several times, Xu Huo used the maze walls to put some distance between himself and Xue Lang, then waited a moment in a relatively safe spot.
It took about five seconds for Xue Lang to reappear in front of him.
Of course, if they'd been fighting in an open area, Xu Huo might not have gained much of an advantage even with his Spiritual World fully open. The maze was limiting Xue Lang's abilities.
Quite a few of the maze walls had been demolished, but after catching up to Xu Huo, Xue Lang wore an angry expression, murder in his eyes growing even stronger.
"Your rays can reach about a hundred meters in each direction. Beyond that, your control over them drops off sharply, and you can't kill someone from a distance anymore." Xu Huo analyzed Xue Lang's ability as he retreated, keeping an eye on the changes in his expression.
"Trying to use that trick on me?" Xue Lang sneered. "You think Dr. Zhang only taught you how to control your emotions?"
