Daochen roared, "Watch out for Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Time Reversal!"
He surged forward, bringing the Heaven Measuring Ruler crashing down toward Dao Ancestor Hongjun's skull.
Whether Hongjun tried to counter him or launch a sneak attack, it made no difference.
As long as he could wound Hongjun, that was enough.
For the first time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun grew furious. "You insolent brat, Daochen! I intended to spare you, but to think you would court death instead. Then don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
Though his words were fierce, his body told the truth.
He dodged Daochen's attack at once.
Naturally, that same movement also carried him clear of the God-Slaying Spear's lethal thrust.
Yet that single movement left him somewhat breathless.
The Time Reversal he had just performed had already met with tremendous resistance.
Now, forcibly twisting his body again to evade attacks from several sides in the flash of a spark, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt a moment of strain despite his strength.
Luo Hou stared at Dao Ancestor Hongjun in shock. "He actually dodged a killing blow? How is that possible?"
Daoist Shichen was also at a loss for words. He had indeed sensed fluctuations in the power of time just now, but he could not tell whether they came from his own actions or whether, as Daochen had said, this Dao Ancestor Hongjun could actually use Time Reversal too.
Great Immortal Yang Mei drew a deep breath. "Something is wrong. Hongjun actually evaded my spatial tracking. This fellow knew in advance that we would strike at that spot."
The three had worked together long ago, so their cooperation this time naturally came with an unspoken understanding, their hearts linked by a single spark.
They had never expected such flawless coordination to be evaded with such precision.
