The lines filling the void like countless spiderwebs were sword lights split off by the black and white Pupil Folk. In less than a ten-thousandth of a breath, they had enveloped the ruler of the Sheng Kingdom.
Hiss!
A faint tremor rang out like the mournful cry of an autumn cicada. Countless lines abruptly contracted inward, unleashing an incomparably fierce cutting force.
Even the world's vital energy was shredded into tiny particles.
The ruler of the Sheng Kingdom raised a hand and suddenly reached forward. The innumerable lines instantly wound around his hand, pulled taut, and tore apart one by one.
As the sword net shattered, he also shook out two streaks of sword light, revealing the Black-and-White Envoys.
The ruler's expression shifted. "So you're Pupil Folk? Your speed is decent, but your strength falls far short. If you are the so-called support the Myriad Calamities Path relies on, then I must thank you for delivering this treasure ship!"
The Pupil Folk possessed an innate gift for extreme speed. After consuming Divine Ability Fruits, the Black-and-White Envoys' strength had risen to half-step primal elixir. With their shared bloodline and intermingling energies, the speed they unleashed at full power barely reached the primal elixir first level.
But half-step primal elixir was not primal elixir, after all. They had yet to touch the level of laws, so naturally they could not match the ruler of the Sheng Kingdom.
As the ruler flexed his fingers, one broad sleeve unfurled. The power of laws faintly suffused its interior, and it released a powerful suction like a gaping maw.
Caught in that suction, the Black-and-White Envoys' protective sword lights could no longer hold together and repeatedly collapsed. Their bodies were also drawn helplessly toward the sleeve.
Clang!
The two crossed their swords and struck against
