A Sneak Attack-Now!

"Time... There really are people in this world who can control time."

The woman, who had been watching intently the whole time, suddenly murmured softly, then closed her eyes, lost in thought.

At that moment, the power that had been binding everyone also suddenly vanished.

Almost immediately, Gu Chen's voice rang in Jiang Kui's ear.

"Sneak attack, now's the time!"

The sudden sound immediately brought Jiang Kui back to his senses.

Without thinking twice, he immediately dodged and charged towards the weaker of the two men in front of him.

The other party clearly didn't react as quickly as Jiang Kui. Although they had reacted, they were still a step too slow in terms of timing.

"Boom--"

With a solid blow landing on his body, blood splattered everywhere, and the man was sent flying backward.

Having landed a successful blow, Jiang Kui did not immediately follow up. Instead, his expression suddenly shifted, and without any hesitation, he decisively drew out the attack method prepared by the Jiang Clan experts. Then, in a flash, he also attacked another person.

One person had already been ambushed, and the second person had obviously reacted by now, and immediately responded in the same way as before.

However, just as he was about to get close, Jiang Kui suddenly stopped and simultaneously activated the killing technique he had placed in his palm.

"Brush--"

Instantly, a powerful aura surged wildly, transforming into a terrifying attack that was about to be unleashed.

The second person merely narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile appearing on his face.

These methods have already been tried before, to no avail, yet they still refuse to give up.

Just as he was thinking this, the man's expression suddenly changed.

No, this time the situation is different.

This attack was not simply wiped away by the breeze like before.

The power that had previously controlled the World in the Painting has now completely ceased to manifest itself.

In an instant, even the burning Battle Intent ignited by the drugs cooled down considerably.

Without hesitation, he immediately activated a defensive technique.

However, the same thing happened to him as well.

Strike first and gain the upper hand. Jiang Kui's move has given him a time advantage, and the brief delay just now clearly has an impact.

"Boom--"

With a loud bang, the defensive measures were torn apart before they could even take shape.

Although Jiang Kui's attack had already blocked a considerable amount of its force, the remaining power still completely engulfed the young man on the spot.

Seeing how effective the attack was, a hint of joy flashed in Jiang Kui's eyes.

The next moment, without any hesitation, he delivered a follow-up blow to the person he had just knocked away.

"Boom--"

With another explosion, the two members of the Cao Clan who had been locked in a fierce battle and who had even seemed to have the upper hand over Jiang Kui were now both killed.

Once all of this was over, Jiang Kui immediately turned to Gu Chen.

But Gu Chen had already finished his fight, and the Cao Clan expert had also vanished without a trace.

As he looked at Gu Chen also looked at him. Their eyes met, and then Gu Chen raised his hand and made a gesture with four fingers clenched up and only the thumb pointing upwards.

"Brother Gu, Jiang Kui sent a telepathic message asking what this means?"

Gu Chen smiled and said.

"This gesture is called very well where we're from."

"I see."

Jiang Kui responded, but then couldn't help asking another question.

"Brother Gu, have you not been paying attention to the changes that have occurred in that person?"

Why would you ask that?

Gu Chen countered with a question.

"Is it because you think I snapped out of it too quickly?"

Jiang Kui nodded.

Gu Chen then transmitted his voice.

"To successfully launch a sneak attack, one must be fast enough and have quick reflexes. Everyone is surprised by this, which presents a perfect opportunity."

Jiang Kui gave Gu Chen a deep look and said sincerely.

"In matters of sneak attacks, Brother Gu is indeed far superior to me."

To be honest, seeing so many things happen right before his eyes, it was difficult for him to react immediately, after all, these things were just too extraordinary.

Of course, as Gu Chen looked at Jiang Kui, he couldn't help but think to himself.

"If you had a master like me, you could probably do the same."

He certainly couldn't remain indifferent, much less be completely unsurprised.

But as soon as I thought that my master was also present, it seemed that nothing really mattered.

Even if it wasn't Master who took action, as Master, he could have done it if he wanted to.

Thinking about it that way, there's nothing particularly noteworthy or surprising about it.

On the other side, Lu Changzhi asked the system for the exact time.

More than half an hour had passed.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi made a judgment in his mind.

This Reverse Idling is probably more suitable for playing around with when used by real people.

If it's really used for combat, its effectiveness is very limited until its speed is further increased or significantly improved.

It took so long just to deal with Tai Yin, and that's considering the other party isn't very old. If they were older, it would probably take even longer.

Of course, he was very satisfied with the results.

Although the whole process was done in reverse, it was undoubtedly a very vivid and intuitive demonstration of "where people come from".

"This Artifact Spirit seems to have a strong interest in the Power of Time."

After glancing at the Artifact Spirit of the Scroll of the Falling Brush, Lu Changzhi made his judgment.

Unless the other party is simply like me and just enjoys watching the excitement, the next thing they should do is try to find someone or something related to the Power of Time.

Lu Changzhi observed for a moment, and then the woman slowly opened her eyes.

"Brush--"

In an instant, everyone present felt as if they had been seen through.

Everyone immediately came to a conclusion: this woman was probably looking for the person who controlled the Power of Time, or rather, the person who caused all of this.

Instead of caring about being investigated, they were more concerned about who the woman would expose.

After all, they truly did not possess the Power of Time, and among them, who possessed the means and strength to do so?

It seemed that the investigation had yielded no results, and at that moment everyone noticed that the woman in front of them stopped investigating.

On the contrary, the World in the Painting seemed to fluctuate as a whole, as if something was happening.

At this moment, the four people from the Tai Clan seemed to realize what was happening, and their gazes all turned towards Lu Changzhi.

At the same time, one of them spoke up, pointing at Lu Changzhi.

"Just now, Tai Yin attacked him, which caused this situation!"

"It's him, it's definitely him!"
