Guan Yue's Heaven-Surpassing Divine Spear drew a circle in the air. Wherever the spear tip passed, space was torn open, leaving behind a black arc. Situ Xuan's four attacks were blocked by that arc, and force slammed into spear radiance, erupting in a string of explosive booms.
Guan Yue's body flipped through the air, and the Heaven-Surpassing Divine Spear thrust out again. This time, he did not aim at Situ Xuan, but stabbed toward the space behind him.
The spear tip pierced into the void, and space exploded. A spatial rift burst open behind Situ Xuan, its shock wave shredding one of his afterimages.
Guan Yue's expression remained calm, but the light in his eyes had turned colder. His spear path reduced the great Dao to simplicity. There were no flashy techniques, only pure penetration and speed. Every thrust was lethal, every thrust simple to the extreme, yet impossible to block.
Dong Zi'an was even more vicious. His body shuttled through the spatial fissures, and half of the attacks from the eight afterimages passed straight through him, striking empty air. His Wolf-Slaying Inquiry of the Dao let him merge into space; non-spatial attacks simply could not hit him.
His wolf claws tore apart two of Situ Xuan's afterimages, silver-blue spatial fissures shredding them to pieces. His body leapt out of a spatial rift and appeared behind Situ Xuan's true body, his wolf claws raking toward Situ Xuan's back.
Situ Xuan's body pitched sharply forward, avoiding the fatal strike from the wolf claws. But five bloody gashes were still carved into his back, blood gushing from the wounds.
He did not retreat. Instead, he spun around and punched straight at Dong Zi'an's face.
Dong Zi'an's body merged into space again, vanishing from in front of Situ Xuan.
