Naturally, Ye Chen, who had long known Oko's abilities in advance, had also made ample preparations against them—the congealed bloodlight now covering his entire body, guarding his flesh like a suit of armor.
Ye Chen's thinking was very clear. Since he could not predict when Oko would activate her ability, he would establish an all-encompassing defense without a single blind spot beforehand, allowing him to withstand Oko's subsequent time-stopping assault head-on.
Even so, such measures posed no problem in Oko's eyes.
Because even after her ability's effect was lifted, at the instant she launched her attack, it would still carry a portion of the kinetic energy enhancement of "relative light speed"!
And that was Oko's killing blow for breaking through Ye Chen!
She did not believe Ye Chen could block her "light-speed" sword with nothing but a suit of blood armor!
Then, after her gaze swiftly found the weakest angle and most obvious opening in Ye Chen's defenses, Oko's starlit long hair instantly transformed into a dazzling circular blade, which then cleaved viciously toward the back of Ye Chen's neck!
Whoosh!
The dazzling hair blade first came into contact with the bloodlight armor surrounding Ye Chen. The moment the latter was released from its time-stopped state, it did not even have the chance to shatter before it was instantly vaporized beneath the light-speed slash!
After the vaporized bloodlight armor, Oko's next target was Ye Chen's own neck!
With the sincere intention of cutting off Ye Chen's head, the utterly focused Oko continued to pour all her strength into this sword strike!
Thus, in the next instant, the ability barrier of "Solitary Light Journey" abruptly dissipated!
At the same time, Ye Chen was given no time to react at all, and the back of his neck was truly struck full-force by
