"This battle is a foregone conclusion."
Zhou Yunhe, unconcerned by Han Xuanji's silence, continued:
" The Dao of Space and Time is different from the Five Elements, different from creation, and different from life and death, yin and yang, and reincarnation."
No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't hit me.
He raised his right hand, and a wisp of pale blue light condensed at his fingertips. The two figures were also shrouded in the eerie light, making them appear even more mysterious.
People outside immediately recognized this as Zhou Yunhe's signature move, meaning that the other party was about to get serious.
Jiang Boyuan sneered inwardly. This was Secret Method of Sage, and with Zhou Yunhe Yunhe's innate special physique, Han Xuanji would have no chance against him!
Han Xuanji looked at the pale blue light and suddenly smiled.
"Playing tricks..."
He murmured those four words.
"Um?"
Zhou Yunhe raised an eyebrow. He had heard Han Xuanji's words clearly, but he was very shrewd and did not show any dissatisfaction.
Instead, he was thinking seriously.
Could it be that the other party has a way to break his spacetime secret technique?
It should be noted that he was invincible in battle in the past, never having suffered a defeat; at most, he had fought to a draw.
"Here we go."
Han Xuanji spoke softly, his gaze as calm as still water.
Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Zhou Yunhe's pupils suddenly contracted.
He couldn't see Han Xuanji for a moment, nor could he sense her presence.
Normally, moving in space will leave traces, which he can sense.
But Han Xuanji did not.
He vanished as if into thin air, completely evaporating from this world.
Zhou Yunhe had no time to think, and the two figures retreated simultaneously.
At the same time, both of them waved their hands, creating layers upon layers of spatial barriers around them, slowing down the flow of time to the extreme.
This is his strongest defense.
Spacetime Folding.
Any attack that enters this area will be distorted by the spatial barrier, slowed down by the time-delay mechanism, and ultimately lose its power.
He had used this move to block attacks from countless masters.
The next second.
A pale golden light, ignoring spatial barriers and the slowing of time, appeared directly in front of him.
In Zhou Yunhe's pupils, the fist that was getting closer and closer was reflected.
He tried to dodge, but found that his body was no longer under his control.
It wasn't that he was locked on, but rather that the opponent's punches were too fast, so fast that his reaction couldn't keep up.
His Dao of Space and Time has always been his leverage to bully others.
He is adept at using spatial folding to close the distance and time slowing to slow down his opponents, ensuring that his enemies are always one step behind him.
He was used to others not being able to keep up with his pace, and he was used to making his moves with composure.
But today, he met someone who caught him completely off guard.
Pale golden light swirled around his fist.
The Power of Mystic Heaven suddenly erupted.
Zhou Yunhe felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had been hit by a mountain.
His spatial barrier began to collapse the moment it came into contact with that power, shattering like glass.
Time slowing was completely ineffective, as that force was unaffected by the flow of time.
His prized mastery of Dao of Space and Time proved utterly ineffective in the face of Han Xuanji.
How is that possible?
With a hundred thoughts racing through his mind, Zhou Yunhe tried to use the Spacetime Dao Principle to go back in time.
Almost simultaneously, Zhou Yunhe, another burly figure, was attacked, and both figures were sent flying.
The next second, two figures streaked through the air like two shooting stars.
Immediately afterwards, a white light enveloped everything.
Han Xuanji stood still and slowly withdrew his fist.
His expression was calm, without any hint of smugness.
For him, defeating a top-tier seed was a trivial matter.
In fact, Zhou Yunhe is quite capable this week.
This was also thanks to his complete understanding of the other party's methods.
The two figures are actually the same entity; he can only win by simultaneously inflicting fatal damage on both figures.
Even if one of the figures is killed instantly, the opponent can recover completely in a few breaths by relying on the other figure to use a secret technique, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
Unfortunately, I ran into him.
Han Xuanji also mastered the Spacetime Dao Principle, so he was not afraid of the opponent's defensive methods. His physical body was extremely strong, and he possessed the Power of Mystic Heaven, which was a true attack that could almost ignore defense. He was fully capable of breaking the two figures at the same time in an instant.
In the stands, everyone was staring at the screen, watching the battle unfold.
As one of the contestants' names at the top faded into the background.
A flash of light appeared in the square.
Zhou Yunhe staggered out, his face ashen, his breath weak, clearly indicating that he had suffered considerable injuries.
Soon, people noticed that someone was being eliminated so quickly.
"Oh? Someone got eliminated. Let me see which unlucky guy it was."
A lazy young man dressed in black casually spoke up, assuming that some Heavenly-level seed had eliminated an Earthly-level seed or something like that.
"Wait, Zhou Yunhe?"
"I remember he was a Heavenly-level seed, wasn't he?"
"So quickly, a Heavenly-level seed has fallen. Who eliminated him?"
It wasn't long before someone on the field figured out who had been eliminated so quickly.
Hearing the commotion, many people were completely confused about what was going on.
Are you kidding me? This has only just begun, how come a top-tier seed has already been eliminated?
At that moment, everyone's mouths were agape, and they were speechless.
"Damn it!"
Ling Xuan was like that; he said he wanted to watch Ling Cang's battles more, but in reality, he was secretly keeping an eye on Han Xuanji's situation.
His eyes were wide open at that moment.
Zhou Yunhe was defeated almost immediately.
A top-tier seed was defeated by an earth-tier seed in the third round.
Moreover, it was almost a complete rout, like an adult bullying a child.
"That can't be..."
Ling Xuan murmured to himself, his voice as soft as a dream.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Qin Yong:
Did you see that?
Qin Yong remained silent.
His gaze remained fixed on the light screen, but beneath his calm expression lay a hint of unease.
He didn't see Han Xuanji's punch clearly.
It wasn't because his eyesight was bad, but because that punch was too fast, so fast that his senses couldn't keep up.
Qin Yong wondered if he could have taken that punch if he were Zhou Yunhe instead.
"This person is definitely a formidable opponent; Ling Cang is in danger."
Qin Yong's voice was low and deep, his tone full of apprehension:
" Zhou Yunhe's luck has been terrible this week. His Spacetime Dao Principle actually very effective against people Dao of the Physical Body, but I suspect Han Xuanji has also mastered Spacetime Dao Principle."
Ling Xuan nodded silently upon hearing this.
Each of the top-tier seeds wasn't chosen arbitrarily; they all possess both reputation and strength. Zhou Yunhe, for example, had never been defeated in the Nine Mysteries Prefecture before, even managing to escape unscathed from a fight with Ling Cang. It's truly regrettable that he was eliminated in the third round.
But that's just how it is.
Ling Xuan was convinced.
He could only pray frantically in his heart.
Brother, whatever you do, don't run into this monster.
"Just who is this kid?!"
On the high platform, Jiang Boyuan's face was extremely grim, and his lips trembled slightly.
His gaze was fixed on the dim name of Zhou Yunhe on the light screen.
Han Xuanji's name shines brightly and stands out prominently.
