Sheng Liu was startled by the sudden attack, but he reacted quickly and hurriedly dodged aside.
Starfall exploded one after another, terrifying energy engulfing everything in an instant.
Sheng Liu's speed came into play at this moment, allowing him to evade as many attacks as possible.
"Hmph! Too slow!"
Sheng Liu sneered. Hunching over, he shot forward, his speed reaching the absolute limit. In the end, he even evaded Mu Qing's starlight shockwave, while his bone claw swept out and tore a wound across Mu Qing's back.
"Your speed is still a little lacking compared to mine."
Sheng Liu grinned savagely. Crimson light flickered continuously around him, and a bloody glow gradually surfaced in his pupils.
His aura surged once more as his crimson claws shot forth, tearing toward Mu Qing.
"Using so many moves at once—you've run out of strength, haven't you?!"
Sheng Liu shouted, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He could tell that Mu Qing's speed had noticeably dropped. He had not even managed to react to Sheng Liu's speed.
Clearly, Mu Qing had unleashed too much power at once, leaving his body sluggish.
In Sheng Liu's eyes, this was an incredibly foolish way to fight. Pouring out too much power would cause obvious stiffness, making it easier for an opponent to seize an opening.
And Mu Qing was just like that now.
Yet Sheng Liu's claw struck empty air.
"Hm?"
Sheng Liu froze for a moment, only to discover that Mu Qing, who had been right in front of him, had vanished.
"You didn't really think I'd used up too much strength, did you?"
Mu Qing's voice suddenly came from beside Sheng Liu.
Sheng Liu was horrified, discovering in shock that Mu Qing's aura had vanished completely—and that he had appeared behind him in an instant!
