Zhou Ming watched, dumbstruck. Though the gray-robed man also looked surprised, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he felt more bewilderment than anything else.
Two streaks of light, one black and one red, shot across the sky above Heavenly Mechanism City. They were Shen Luo and the dark figure, and in the blink of an eye, they had flown twenty or thirty li. The dark figure was unbelievably fast. Shen Luo was already driving his flying sword at full speed, yet he still could not catch up.

Seeing that they had left the bustling districts of Heavenly Mechanism City, Shen Luo suddenly unleashed a blaze of Wind-Thunder Radiance from his arms. Two enormous pillars of golden and azure light shot backward, more than doubling his speed. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with the dark figure.
He gave an angry shout and clawed at the air with his right hand.

Bolts of golden lightning struck the dark figure hard, erupting with devastating thunderous power and instantly tearing apart the layer of black light surrounding it.
The golden arcs crackled and continued lunging into the black light.
