"Begin!"
The referee's icy voice had barely fallen.
Whoosh—!
Bloodshadow Carlo's figure blurred instantly, leaving only a faint crimson afterimage where he had stood.
He moved at terrifying speed, as though he had merged with space itself. A sharp trace of the Origin Law of Metal coiled around the dagger in his hand as he stabbed toward Su Zhe's throat.
This strike was silent, yet vicious and lethal.
It was Carlo's self-created Secret Technique—Bloodline Pierce—forged through years of painstaking cultivation by combining speed with his comprehension of the Law of Metal!
With this move, he had instantly slain an unknown number of powerful opponents.
And this time, he intended to use this newly risen "Blade Demon" as a stepping stone to completely cross the threshold of the laws!
Su Zhe stood where he was, seemingly without even enough time to react.
A savage grin flashed through Carlo's eyes, as if he could already see his dagger tearing through his opponent's throat.
However—
Buzz!
An invisible, terrifying pressure suddenly descended!
The space across the entire blood-red arena seemed to freeze and twist in an instant!
The Domain of Metal surrounding Su Zhe, already at the ninth level, crashed down upon Carlo. At the same time, Su Zhe's comprehension of the Law of Metal, far surpassing Carlo's own, instantly reversed the situation.
Defense?
There was no need!
Even if Su Zhe allowed Carlo to pierce his throat, so what?
These Universe Level warriors simply could not imagine why, despite being at the same Universe Level, Su Zhe could completely ignore an enemy's attacks.
"Heh."
Su Zhe gave a soft laugh. Before Carlo's incredulous gaze, he casually evaded Carlo's attack using his far greater comprehension of the Law of Metal, then struck with a casual slash—!
Slash!
The savage grin on Carlo's face
