The sky filled with blood clouds gradually obscured the snow peaks surrounding Snow Rainbow Pavilion.
The sky grew dark, and a fierce wind swept through, letting out a howl.
"So much momentum!!?" Yue Dewen’s face twitched. He had painstakingly accumulated momentum over many years, so he knew well how much time, patience, and effort it took to gather such a force.
Moreover, to gather great momentum requires an extremely strong and resilient body and a far surpassing will beyond ordinary people, even beyond the common Grandmaster.
In fact, the latter is the foundation of everything.
And now, Zhang Rongfang gathering so much momentum would surely put a heavy burden on his body!
He....
Yue Dewen swiftly turned to look at Zhang Rongfang.
Like him, so did the Sacred Dance.
Both of them thought about the same.
But.....when their gaze shifted to Zhang Rongfang, this guy didn’t appear burdened or exhausted at all.
He was casually and effortlessly approaching the Sacred Dance, as if on a leisurely trip.
"Interesting.....Immortal?" The tremor on Sacred Dance’s face calmed down. After hundreds of years of life, he had seen all kinds of wondrous people and things, so for him to be even slightly surprised now was quite rare.
"Then let me see what this so-called Immortal has to offer. How about it?"
He grasped his scepter, his tall, trinity-like stature overlooking Zhang Rongfang who was far shorter.
"As you wish." Zhang Rongfang spread his wings, revealing a smile.
Blood Lotus!!
Three blood lotuses simultaneously bloomed on his back, spreading blood-colored patterns across his body.
At the same time, his size quickly increased from three meters to five meters, then nine meters!
His flesh, skin, bones, wings—all enlarged in sync.
Swoosh!!
In an instant, his figure blurred and suddenly vanished, like a giant blood-colored bat lunging at the Sacred Dance.
The air was torn apart, accompanied by an invisible supersonic shockwave.
At a terrifying speed level far beyond before.
With his right hand shaped like an eagle’s talon, he instantly reached the Sacred Dance’s face.
His speed this time instantly shocked both Sacred Dance and Yue Dewen.
’So fast!?!’ Yue Dewen, temporarily resting while healing, felt his expression twitch.
He had initially thought Zhang Rongfang was in a final form transformation from the previous three-hand state to the current dual-winged form.
But now it seems.....
He might have misjudged.
This kind of speed, even he couldn’t keep up!
For the first time, an unusual sense of feeling arose in his heart.
He used to protect others, being the number one in the world, unmatched. So if he was present, he was always the main force and lead character.
But now....
He found himself standing aside as merely a spectator, playing a supporting role.
For the first time, the real center shifted from himself to his disciple.
This feeling was both complex and unfamiliar, yet accompanied by a trace of relief and discomfort.
Sacred Dance’s initially careless expression suddenly tightened upon witnessing Zhang Rongfang’s explosion.
’So fast!!’
He was stunned, simply changing form resulted in such a huge speed disparity!!?
And this speed, even he couldn’t achieve.
If the opponent’s form could change again.
Does it mean that the previous dual-winged state might have really been just an ordinary Extreme State?
And this current large state, with patterns all over, is the real final form!?
Sacred Dance’s heart sank, for the first time sensing subtle signs of losing control over the situation.
Bang!!
He raised his hand, blocking with both hands, while his other four arms reached from both sides towards Zhang Rongfang.
But before fully approaching, all four arms simultaneously paused, seemingly influenced and disrupted by some invisible force, swerving off target and grabbing empty air.
This was Zhang Rongfang’s ability to control the human mind.
It constantly interfered with all the opponent’s actions, whether attacking or defending, even dodging and perception.
The Sacred Dance’s moves distorted, his skin vibrated with invisible sound waves, faintly cracking with pain.
His expression changed, eyes emitting beams of blue light, breaking through the sound waves, aiming for Zhang Rongfang.
But the beams were avoided ahead of time. It was as if Zhang Rongfang already knew his next move.
"Predictive defense?" The Sacred Dance instantly realized. This guy’s predictive defense was so strong?
Could it be....
"You arrived long ago? And have been observing my moves all along!?" He suddenly understood.
Zhang Rongfang remained silent, moving at super speed, his Blood Race progenitor’s complete form enhancement making him almost twice as fast as before.
Behind him, his bat-wings flapped, his figure like a trail of afterimages constantly appearing and disappearing around Sacred Dance.
Every afterimage launched an attack.
Within a second, a heap of trash and rubble was blown away by the shockwave of their frenzied clash, leaving pits of varying sizes.
The speed created an illusion of dozens of pits exploding simultaneously around them.
Belonging to the Blood Race progenitor’s complete form, his natural immense strength also received colossal amplification.
Making Zhang Rongfang’s current power over eighty percent stronger than when previously activating Blood Lotus.
Additionally, a blood-colored crystal shone on his brow, his skin taking on a metallic sheen under high-speed movement.
This was the ability of Steel Skin.
At this moment, his speed, power, and defense surpassed the top-tier Spirit General, frantically assaulting Sacred Dance.
Gradually, the blood clouds in the sky began to descend, spreading around.
Under the blood cloud, Zhang Rongfang’s speed rose to another level.
This is the assistance from blood manipulation.
Sound explosions continuously erupted on the entire ruin.
But it was the loud noise generated by Sacred Patrol’s hands, while Zhang Rongfang had already surpassed this level.
"Your speed is indeed astounding." Sacred Patrol blocked the surrounding attacks with its six arms continuously.
Fortunately, with his current Trinity State, his opponent’s power is strong but still falls short by some measure.
The key is speed!
"But martial arts are not just about speed," Sacred Patrol calmly said. "Unless you are fast enough that I can’t even lift my hand to block. Otherwise... everything is meaningless before my Absolute Defense circle."
Its six arms swung, faintly forming six shields with blue light around it.
No matter how Zhang Rongfang attacked, these six shields precisely blocked in front of him.
Between the two, Sacred Patrol had the advantage of strength, while Zhang Rongfang had the advantage of speed.
Blocked by these six shields, no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t breakthrough.
This is the gap in martial skills.
"I’ve seen through your martial techniques." Sacred Patrol’s expression became increasingly calm.
Anyone attacking doesn’t leave without trace; they will have the strongest technique suitable for themselves, their habit of exertion, and trajectories.
Sacred Patrol has reached the pinnacle in foresight against enemies and Absolute Defense.
If Zhang Rongfang could see the opponent’s attribute ability, he would find that the opponent’s foresight against enemies was like his at the +1 level.
And actually, Sacred Patrol’s Absolute Defense circle is on par with foresight against enemies.
This is the accumulation of centuries to the extreme.
"Give up; until your speed does not create a qualitative change distance from me, everything you do, I already understand it thoroughly."
Sacred Patrol calmly said.
At this moment, countless afterimages kept flashing around him, but no matter how many afterimages there were, no matter how many attacks flew towards him.
He could easily block and repel them.
Psychic control was a bit of interference to him at first, but he later adapted to it, integrating it into his predictions, making it increasingly weaker.
Sonic attack is the same; it can only be used as a surprise strategy, but its actual power is inferior to direct attacks.
After all, at this level, the speed of sound waves is already less than Zhang Rongfang’s attack speed.
In his complete form, his attack has directly surpassed twice the speed of sound.
While Sacred Patrol’s attack is still within the speed of sound, thus generating sonic booms.
This is the difference between the two.
Despite his disdain, Zhang Rongfang ignored it, still launching frenzied attacks at super speed from all directions.
To him, Sacred Patrol in complete form is indeed very strong, very strong.
If the threat of possessing Sacred Dance before was 1, then the Trinity of Sacred Ruins at this moment is at least twenty!!
It’s like a chasm of difference!
The Trinity’s three-headed and six-armed body made Zhang Rongfang feel like facing three previous Sacred Patrols at once, and each one has far exceeded previous attack strength.
Plus, the opponent’s martial realm is much stronger than his!
Foresight against enemies is the same for both, but in Absolute Defense, Zhang Rongfang falls too far behind.
He only used attribute points to perfect the Absolute Defense circle, but perhaps due to insufficient accumulation of insights, he couldn’t reach the +1 level.
Just this level of disparity made him gradually fall into a passive position.
The opponent is steadily adapting to his super speed.
But.....
Zhang Rongfang abruptly halted.
He spread his wings wide.
From the very beginning, his purpose was not relying on speed and power to suppress the opponent!!!
’Immortal Technique, Blood River!!’ He spread his arms wide.
Countless blood clouds had unknowingly spread to thousands of meters around.
This was his setup, also one of the Immortal Techniques he explored alone to create previously!
In an instant, countless streams of blood appeared out of thin air, wrapping Sacred Patrol’s entire body in a massive blood cocoon.
Although this blood cocoon was immediately torn apart in an instant.
But it was enough.
The blood cocoon obscured all perception.
At the moment it was torn apart.
Zhang Rongfang was already at Sacred Patrol’s left side, his right hand knife silently penetrated Sacred Patrol’s chest from behind, surpassing sound waves.
Pfft!
"In pure martial arts, I am not your opponent." Zhang Rongfang looked at the shocked Sacred Patrol.
"But unfortunately... what I have is not just martial arts!!"
Bang!!
A vast quantity of blood water instantly gushed into Sacred Patrol’s body, instantly bursting it apart.
Zhang Rongfang’s arm had already turned black, accompanied by the blood, he launched a soul plunder.
But he caught nothing.
Sacred Patrol’s body seemed like an empty shell, exploded forcibly.
In an instant, blue light condensed again in another place, reforming his massive three-headed and six-armed body.
"It’s precisely that ability!!" The face belonging to Divine Shepherd on his body shouted sternly, "Part of my Spirit Core was torn away by that kind of ability! My lord must be careful!"
Sacred Patrol gazed at Zhang Rongfang’s dissipated black arm, his once unperturbed expression finally changed slightly.
"This ability..... has already exceeded the realm of martial arts.... you...."
He died again.
Adding the four times he died by Yue Dewen before, this was the fifth time!!
