The Abyssal Evil Scythe's compound eyes flickered twice, betraying two exceedingly rare emotions-confusion and wariness. As an Enforcer under the Abyssal Scythe Emperor, it had roamed the Abyssal Plane for countless years, yet this was the first time it had encountered a human whose cultivation was clearly weak but who could suppress its greatest source of pride, its spatial power, to such an extent. It opened its mouth and let out a shrill cry, half challenge, half rage.
Xiao Cheng had no interest in wasting words on it. He turned his wrist, and the Azure Sky Divine Spear gave a clear dragon's cry as the starlight at its tip suddenly brightened. He knew the seal imposed by Tai-Xu Grotto-Heaven could not completely immobilize an Evil Scythe so proficient in manipulating space. It merely prevented the creature from tearing space open to teleport. Given enough time, it could still break free of the restraints little by little.

Its wings abruptly folded as it abandoned its attempts to tear open space and poured all its strength into its enormous, dark-yellow scythes instead. If spatial movement was restricted, it would crush its opponent head-on. Such was the confidence of an Abyssal Enforcer. It did not believe a Soul Emperor could withstand its full-force attack.
