The Terror of the Void

Meiying's gaze was sharp, and her soul-tool dagger gleamed with an eerie light.

She had carefully observed every one of Lu Chen's previous battles.

The opponent's bizarre fist technique, in particular, made Meiying even more vigilant.

"Die!"

She was incredibly fast, closing in on Lu Chen within just a few breaths.

The dagger flashed with cold light as it stabbed straight for his heart.

At the same time, she focused her mind completely, ready to activate Phasing at any moment.

Lu Chen's gaze remained calm. Just as the dagger was about to touch him, he moved!

Hands became two blue phantoms, rapidly striking toward Meiying.

"So fast!"

Meiying's heart jolted.

Although she had known his fist technique was swift, she had never expected it to be so fast that even the naked eye could barely follow it!

What shocked her even more was that Lu Chen's attacks were not merely focused on her arms, but covered every vital point on her body.

Meiying did not hesitate. The first Soul Ring beneath her feet suddenly flashed, and her entire body instantly phased.

Seeing this, the corners of Lu Chen's lips curled slightly, but his attacks did not stop.

Countless dense gusts from his fists struck empty air, forcing Meiying to remain phased.

This is bad. He wants to drain all my soul power!

Realizing Lu Chen's intention, Meiying's expression changed slightly.

She abruptly retreated, trying to widen the distance between them.

Yet to her shock, Lu Chen was no slower than she was, sticking to her like a relentless shadow.

"So fast! What kind of freak is this guy?"

Meiying was utterly shaken.

"Brother Lu's strategy is brilliant!"

Bei Yuxuan watched the two flashing figures intertwine on the arena, his face full of delight.

Old Chen nodded slightly. "Yes, this truly is a good way to counter Phasing and exhaust soul power, but only if one can keep up with the opponent's speed."

Elsewhere, Chen Lü looked utterly astonished.

"This isn't right. Could this kid's Martial Soul be a pair of legs like mine? Otherwise, how could he be this fast?"

Jiang Yixi covered her mouth and laughed. "He's three years younger than you. Maybe he's your long-lost little brother."

Chen Lü: "...I wish."

A man behind Luo Du watched the situation onstage with worry in his eyes.

"This is over! Meiying has been countered. With her current soul power, she can maintain Phasing for at most one minute."

Luo Du's eyes were cold as he roared furiously, "This trash, why hasn't she used the Bloodline Pill yet!

"If she makes this young master lose, I'll send her to keep that worthless sister of hers company!"

At those words, the two people behind him trembled and did not dare say another word.

On the main arena, the two had already battled for more than twenty breaths.

Meiying's once-rosy cheeks were now pale as paper.

"This can't go on!"

She could sense that more than half of her soul power had already been consumed. If this stalemate continued, defeat would be inevitable.

Meiying gritted her teeth, a resolute look appearing on her face. "Looks like I can only use that method!"

Lu Chen raised his brows slightly. "Are you finally bringing out your trump card?"

The next instant, he felt his fist strike something solid.

Meiying groaned, her stomach churning violently.

Gritting her teeth and enduring the excruciating pain, Meiying used the recoil to forcefully pull away from Lu Chen.

At the same time, she released Phasing.

Then, a pill suddenly appeared in her palm.

The entire pill was dark red and emitted a thick, bloody stench.

Taking a deep breath, Meiying swallowed the pill in one gulp.

In an instant, the dark purple glow around her turned into an eerie blood-red.

Her claws became even sharper, and her pupils turned blood-red as well.

Lu Chen took in all of this and asked curiously, "What did you eat?"

Even as he spoke, his attacks did not stop. He kicked off the ground with his right leg and caught up to Meiying once more.

"You'll know soon enough."

Meiying snorted coldly. Rather than retreating, she charged toward Lu Chen, her dagger stabbing straight for his heart again.

Lu Chen did not think much of it. "Even if it temporarily increases your speed or strength, you're still no match for me."

"The outcome was decided long ago. Surrender while you still can."

Before he finished speaking, his hands became phantoms again as he blocked the incoming dagger.

"Squelch!"

The sound of a blade piercing flesh suddenly rang out.

Lu Chen's pupils contracted sharply. His body instinctively leaned back as his hands grabbed for the dagger.

"Rip!"

A flash of cold light passed by, and the dagger slashed viciously across Lu Chen's chest.

Flesh split open, and white ribs could even be seen deep within the wound.

Yet his palms passed straight through the dagger.

"Phasing!"

"How is that possible?!"

Lu Chen's eyes widened. Just as his body was about to fall, he used the momentum to brace himself against the ground and dodge to the side.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Meiying snorted coldly, giving Lu Chen no chance to escape. She pressed the dagger downward, aiming straight for his heart!

"This is bad! Little Chen is in danger!"

Inside the VIP room, Tang Ya panicked when she saw the wound running through Lu Chen's abdomen.

Bei Yuxuan abruptly rose from the sofa, his face filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? She can still attack a physical body while phased?!"

It was not just Bei Yuxuan. At that moment, every soul master watching widened their eyes.

The inability to attack while phased was an ironclad rule universally accepted across the continent.

Yet today, it had been broken!

"Sect Master, is... is this reasonable?"

Chen Lü stared at Du Bushi in shock, while Vina and Jiang Yixi also turned their gazes toward him.

However, Du Bushi's eyes were as wide as ox eyes. Clearly, this was also his first time seeing such a situation.

"Young Master, Meiying has already taken the Bloodline Pill. She's invincible now. That kid won't last more than a few breaths!"

"I have to say, Meiying's Phasing is truly terrifying!" another person said with a sigh.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Luo Du's lips as he said calmly,

"Meiying has a trace of Ancient Nether Cat blood in her body. That clan's innate secret art is Void, allowing them to shift between the tangible and intangible, with substance within the intangible."

"Though she has only awakened the degraded Spectral Shadow Cat, after forcibly stimulating her bloodline evolution, she can still wield a portion of Void's power."

"Although it lasts only a short time, it is more than enough to deal with that kid."

"However, forcibly enhancing her bloodline will consume a great deal of her life force."

Wang Ou's gaze carried a trace of regret.

Meiying was quite talented. She would have been considered a genius anywhere, but unfortunately, the young master did not care in the slightest.

Luo Du's tone was disdainful. "She's just a commoner. If she dies, she dies."

On the arena, Lu Chen's figure flickered as he continuously evaded Meiying's fatal attacks.

Meiying pursued him relentlessly, turning her dagger and carving another bone-deep wound into Lu Chen's left arm.

It had to be said that Meiying's ability was indeed terrifying.

She was like a ghost.

Everyone else's attacks were useless against her, yet she could still injure others.

Even passive defense was useless.

Meiying's attacks could penetrate the exterior and strike directly at the inside.

"Now it's your turn to run!" Meiying sneered, her face full of confidence.

Lu Chen lowered his head and glanced at his wounds before saying calmly,

"Your ability is indeed impressive, but forcibly taking that kind of pill is also draining your life force, isn't it?"

Meiying froze for a moment, then became even more frenzied.

"So what? Only by killing you can I live!"

"Kill me?"

Lu Chen suddenly stopped, allowing Meiying's dagger to stab into his shoulder blade again. He grinned.

"But it seems your attacks can't do much to me."

"What do you mean?"

Meiying froze, then her expression changed drastically.

She stared in disbelief at Lu Chen's chest, which had already recovered its smooth appearance.

"How is that possible?!"

She cried out and stood there in a daze.
