Nothing happened for a moment.
Then Mang Xing came down to the ground and said, "I am back, ha ha ha ha, and I think you expect to accept my challenge, didn't you?"
Gu Yanshu did not say anything.
The third blacker said, "Come on, fight me first, then you will see what happened if you are such an idiot, aren't you?"
When Mang Xing's body was fully green, he had big, big muscles and a big thing on his head like a rhino horn.
Instantly, when it turned green, a big explosion happened in the battlefield.
Then, after some seconds, when the smoke cleared, Mang Xing was fully golden.
Then Mang Xing said, "Ha ha ha ha, this time I win. No one can stop me. Come at me, you little thing. Ha ha ha ha."
The third blacker said, "Shut up, you idiot. Don't annoy me. You are slowly pissing me off."
The third blacker jumped and swung his bat.
Then, instantly, Mang Xing dodged the attack, just smiling.
The third blacker said, "Enough!"
He tried to attack once more.
The fifth blacker tried to stop him.
Then once again, the third blacker swung.
The fifth blacker raised his blade and blocked it with his sword.
He was sent flying, but no damage happened to him.
Meanwhile, the third blacker kept swinging, but every attack was his swings.
That was how Mang Xing dodged the attacks.
This was like a low-speed idea.
No one could lose and no one could fight.
Right now, the situation was that the third blacker kept attacking and Mang Xing kept dodging.
That was the weakness of both of them.
But the third blacker's weakness could not clear while Mang Xing's weakness could easily clear.
If he wanted to fight, he could clear his weakness and fight back and also dodge attacks.
But if the third blacker somehow managed to dodge his attacks and Mang Xing kept attacking and dodging, it would be a tie.
But it was not if Gu Yanshu continued thinking.
Once again, after he covered many outcomes of this fight, what could also be wrong, he stopped making one.
Then he blinked several times.
Then he got focused on the battlefield.
In the battlefield, the third blacker was still attacking and Mang Xing was still dodging.
No one stopped.
Their habit continued multiple times.
It went again and again and again.
Then the dragon's face turned pale.
Then his face got normal.
Gu Yanshu was focusing on the fight, not on the dragon.
Little by little, the third blacker was getting stronger and faster.
Mang Xing looked and there was nothing left but to fight back because if this kept going, he might actually lose his strategy of dodging attacks.
Then Mang Xing took his hand.
He moved it close to his back.
Then he dropped the punch.
It hit the third blacker's stomach.
The third blacker was sent flying.
The third blacker instantly crashed into the ground.
The ground cracked.
In fact, the third blacker was unconscious, not able to fight, and not also able to move.
Only the thing he could do was stand there like he was sleeping, but in fact he was knocked out.
Mang Xing laughed and said, "I am way too strong."
Then he came back to normal.
He still said, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I guess I am too good."
Gu Yanshu got the pattern of Mang Xing in just observing.
First, overconfidence.
Second, pride.
Third, not preparation, but only fights, overpowered, no intelligence, controlled by emotions.
And the last thing, doing this for enjoyment, not for benefit.
That was his habit he was repeating.
Gu Yanshu thought that that was the weakness of Mang Xing.
The only thing he had that was good was strength and authority.
That was it. Nothing else.
The fifth blacker instantly grabbed the third blacker.
He was relieved when he sensed he was breathing, but he was knocked out.
He already knew that because he would get mad at him if he instantly came to him for no reason.
That was his reason to think he was knocked out, not alive.
The fourth blacker came in and said, "Yeah, yeah, fighting with angriness is your weakness from there. Be focused, that's it."
The fifth blacker said, "We can't control him. He's doing his own thing."
The fourth blacker said, "I know."
Gu Yanshu kept his eyes on Mang Xing.
Mang Xing stood there with that golden body and that ugly confidence, like he had already decided the room belonged to him.
The battlefield was still quiet for a second.
The third blacker was unconscious on the ground.
The fifth blacker still held him.
The fourth blacker stayed near the side.
The dragon on Gu Yanshu's shoulder narrowed its eyes.
"That one is simple," it said.
Gu Yanshu answered, "Yes."
"The simple ones are the worst when they are strong."
Gu Yanshu did not deny it.
Mang Xing looked across the battlefield and laughed again.
He seemed satisfied just by the result.
That made him more dangerous than someone who kept talking strategy.
He did not need it.
He only needed momentum.
Gu Yanshu's face stayed flat.
He was already thinking through the pattern again.
Mang Xing had shown the same habit in a short time.
That was enough.
He did not need more.
The fourth blacker looked at Gu Yanshu.
"He is too aggressive."
Gu Yanshu replied, "Yes."
The fifth blacker said, "Then what now?"
Gu Yanshu looked at the battlefield.
"Now we watch."
The dragon looked at him.
"You already know something."
Gu Yanshu said, "Yes."
But he did not say more.
Mang Xing shifted his shoulders and rolled his neck once.
Then he said, "Is that all? That was easy."
No one answered him.
That made him grin wider.
He liked silence only when it belonged to him.
The fifth blacker lowered the third blacker carefully.
The third blacker was still not waking up.
The fourth blacker glanced at him once.
"He needs healing."
Gu Yanshu answered, "After this."
The fourth blacker looked at Mang Xing again and understood.
Mang Xing was not finished.
Not even close.
And if they moved too early, the room would become his again.
The dragon whispered, "He is waiting for us to make a mistake."
Gu Yanshu answered, "I know."
Mang Xing lifted one hand and pointed at them.
"Come on then. Who is next?"
His voice was loud.
Empty.
Full of himself.
The third blacker still did not move.
The fifth blacker kept one hand near his shoulder.
The fourth blacker's blade stayed ready.
And Gu Yanshu continued to watch, expressionless, while Mang Xing waited for the next reaction, completely unaware that the real fight had already begun inside Gu Yanshu's head.Then the door opened.
The door that was making them get out of this area opened.
It was a guy.
Not a monster. Not a demon. A guy.
That was all.
He had black hair, green eyes, a yellow T-shirt, red pants, and a green jacket.
He looked around.
At first, he did nothing.
Then he said, "Ah, ah, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where am I again? Is that... you?"
Mang Xing said, "Yes. Are you here to get your revenge?"
The man did not reply.
The fifth blacker calmly asked who he was.
The man said, "I am Jani Ying. Is something wrong with that?"
Gu Yanshu answered, "No."
Mang Xing said, "Yeah, yeah. No need to introduce yourself. I already know Jani Ying. But these other guys do not know who I am."
The dragon said, "You are right. I actually do not know who you are."
Then again, the room became quiet when the deadly travelers walked.
It was not echoing this time.
Gu Yanshu already knew.
Because when Mang Xing was here, footsteps stopped echoing.
That was it.
Bao Yuan said, "This is annoying."
Gu Yanshu said, "Stay with it."
Then the kid came again in mid-air.
Then he said, "I am back. I am back. I am back. Did anyone want me to come in?"
The fourth blacker said, "No."
The kid said, "Why?"
The fourth blacker said, "Because you are not here to help us."
The kid said, "I am not. I am only here to help you guys. I was here to watch you. I was sent by the owner of this place. That is all I can say. Did you know that?"
The fourth blacker did not reply, while the third blacker was unconscious.
The fourth blacker threw his blade and said, "Sorry, take it back. I was a thief all along."
The fifth blacker grabbed his sword and said, "I do not care. I can fight without any sword. I am the fastest in all of you. I can use my hands and legs to win it myself."
The fourth blacker said, "I already know that. Why did you still say that?"
The fifth blacker said, "There is no reason to explain. Predict it yourself."
The fourth blacker said, "Why?"
The fifth blacker replied, "Because I do not have an answer."
The fourth blacker said, "So what?"
They both stopped.
They both stopped arguing.
Then again they focused on Mang Xing and Jani Ying.
Bao Yuan and the dragon stared at each other.
No one said anything.
They stood quiet.
The dragon said, "Humph," and turned around.
Bao Yuan said, "Wait for a second," but he was already too late.
Then nothing happened again for some seconds.
Then the kid said, "Why is anyone not talking here? Talk fast or I will go."
The fourth blacker said, "Why?"
The kid said, "I will kill you if you do not."
Gu Yanshu interfered and said, "Let us see if you can."
The kid stopped his words and continued watching.
Mang Xing said, "Let us fight, should we?"
Jani Ying accepted.
Jani Ying's black hair moved slightly as he looked at Mang Xing.
His expression stayed flat for a second.
Then he smiled a little.
Not a friendly smile.
Just a small one.
"Fine," he said.
Mang Xing grinned wider.
"Good."
The air in the room tightened.
The kid, still floating nearby, looked from one side to the other like he was expecting the entire room to break at any second.
Bao Yuan leaned toward Gu Yanshu and said quietly, "This feels bad."
Gu Yanshu answered, "Yes."
The dragon looked at Jani Ying, then at Mang Xing.
"These two are not calm."
The fifth blacker said, "That is obvious."
The fourth blacker had already stepped back half a pace.
Not because he was afraid.
Because he understood the room was about to become dangerous.
Mang Xing rolled his shoulders once.
His body still held that strange pressure from before.
Jani Ying, on the other hand, looked ordinary.
That made him more suspicious.
Mang Xing pointed at him.
"You came out at the right time."
Jani Ying answered, "I did not come out for you."
Mang Xing laughed.
"That makes it better."
Jani Ying's eyes shifted once toward the unconscious third blacker.
Then toward the fifth blacker.
Then toward Gu Yanshu.
He took everything in very fast.
Gu Yanshu saw that immediately.
A person who looked calm but observed everything carefully was always dangerous.
Jani Ying was not making a loud entrance.
He was measuring the room.
Mang Xing noticed that too.
"So you are the thinking type?"
Jani Ying replied, "And you are the noisy type."
Mang Xing's grin sharpened.
"That is right."
Then the room went silent again.
The silence was worse this time.
Not quiet.
Waiting.
The kid in the air swung his legs a little and said, "This is more interesting now."
The fourth blacker looked at him.
"You enjoy this too much."
The kid shrugged.
"I was told to watch."
Gu Yanshu kept his gaze on the two in front.
Mang Xing and Jani Ying.
One loud.
One calm.
One obvious.
One hidden.
That balance mattered.
Mang Xing lifted his hand.
Jani Ying did not move.
Then Mang Xing said, "If you are here, then you must know what happens next."
Jani Ying answered, "Yes."
Mang Xing asked, "And?"
Jani Ying looked at him.
"And you are already too late to stop it."
The room changed.
Just slightly.
Bao Yuan noticed it first.
Not with his eyes.
With his stomach.
A pressure.
A shift.
Like the room itself had heard that line and did not like it.
The dragon's head lifted.
"Something is coming."
Gu Yanshu said, "Yes."
The fifth blacker frowned.
"What do you mean, yes?"
Gu Yanshu did not answer immediately.
His eyes stayed on Jani Ying.
Because Jani Ying had said too much without saying anything.
Mang Xing chuckled.
"You are talking like you know me."
Jani Ying replied, "I know what kind of person you are."
Mang Xing's smile faded a little.
Only a little.
That was enough to notice.
Gu Yanshu noticed it.
So did the dragon.
So did the fourth blacker.
Jani Ying looked at Mang Xing and said, "You are the kind that acts before thinking."
Mang Xing answered, "And you are the kind that thinks before acting."
Jani Ying nodded once.
"Yes."
Mang Xing laughed again.
"Then let us see whose style breaks first."
Jani Ying stepped forward.
The kid in the air suddenly sat straighter.
The fifth blacker lowered his stance.
Bao Yuan's hand went near his weapon.
Gu Yanshu still did not move.
He was already calculating the room.
The walls.
The echoes.
The positions.
The timing.
Mang Xing's body started to shift slightly.
Not fully transforming.
Just enough to make the pressure around him rise again.
Jani Ying looked at it and remained calm.
Then he said, "You always do that."
Mang Xing replied, "Do what?"
"Try to look bigger than you are."
Mang Xing's eyes narrowed.
The kid in the air gave a small, sharp laugh.
"Oh. That one was good."
The fourth blacker muttered, "This is going to get ugly."
Gu Yanshu said, "Yes."
Mang Xing took one step forward.
Jani Ying took one step forward too.
Neither of them attacked yet.
But the room had already begun to feel like it was about to crack.
The fifth blacker said, "Should we stop them?"
Gu Yanshu answered, "Not yet."
Bao Yuan looked at him.
"Why not?"
Gu Yanshu's eyes stayed fixed.
"Because we need to see what they are first."
That answer made the dragon quiet for a moment.
Then it said, "Good."
Mang Xing smiled again.
"I like you already."
Jani Ying replied, "That is unfortunate."
And then, at last, both of them moved at the same time.Mang Xing said, "Then let us start the fight."
He grinned like he always did.
Then he jumped.
He tried to grab Jani Ying with all of his strength and skill, but unfortunately for him, Jani Ying grabbed both of Mang Xing's hands and kicked him in the stomach, making him cough blood.
Then Mang Xing got overconfident and started attacking even stronger and stronger.
Then somehow he grabbed his own legs and broke free from the tight grip of Jani Ying.
He said, "It is going just like the last time. I will get my revenge this time."
Then he launched a spinning kick.
He kept spinning consecutively.
But when he was about to attack, his leg stopped.
Mang Xing had grabbed him.
Mang Xing smashed him repeatedly into the ground, cracking every inch of the battlefield as he threw him down.
Then he threw him upward.
Then he swung his kick, sending Jani Ying flying into the door.
The door broke, but Jani Ying still did not give up.
He jumped forward, trying to unleash a barrage of punches, but every single punch was dodged.
Nothing was actually hitting Mang Xing.
Mang Xing, with his speed, instantly came behind him.
Then he kicked him upward.
Then he jumped upward too.
Then he punched him again.
This time, Jani Ying was about to fly out of the battlefield.
Then Mang Xing dashed after him.
Then he kicked him again, a ruthless kick.
He kicked him so hard that Jani Ying was crashing through everything.
He slammed into the ground.
At that point, it should have been common for him to stay knocked out, but his motivation kept him from giving up.
The ground cracked.
He was about to fall even deeper.
Then he grabbed the ground with all the energy he had left.
Then he jumped with everything he had.
He said, "Killer move."
And while doing several strikes, he tried to punch Mang Xing, but Mang Xing blocked everything like it was nothing at all.
The ground cracked underneath them, but Mang Xing remained standing effortlessly.
Then Mang Xing used one hand to throw him upward when he was about to fall again.
Mang Xing ended the fight with one final punch.
It was a body shot to the face.
Jani Ying fell to the ground.
When Mang Xing looked, he was not breathing.
Mang Xing grinned and said, "Is anyone actually here to defeat me?"Meanwhile, Aly Chang saw another guy passing by the street.
He looked like he was actually not human.
In reality, it was Po Jun Zing.
His hair was red.
His eyes were yellow.
His skin was white.
He looked like he was an ancient guy, but he was not ancient at all.
But still, he was looking normal and easy to kill.
Aly Chang made him come in.
When he came in, nothing happened.
But Aly Chang had his tapping to come out.
When seeing him, he started panicking hard.
Nothing happened for a moment.
Then he stopped.
He was not going to hunt him.
Po Jun Zing opened his eyes and looked around and said, "Is this the base of the greats? Why am I here? Ah, who cares? Let us just come in."
There were several people in front of Po Jun Zing.
Po Jun Zing said, "Who are you guys?"
The people did not reply.
Then they said, "We are the god of unity."
Po Jun Zing said, "So what?"
Po Jun Zing continued and said, "Touching kill. Ability nine, touching kill."
Then a purple aura came in front of Po Jun Zing.
It was purple.
Po Jun Zing counted his five fingers.
His hand was straight like a slap.
Then he touched one.
A purple light came.
It was light purple, circular purple.
That purple light exploded many things nearby them.
When the smoke cleared, the seven people were cracked into pieces like someone took a hammer and slammed it at the wall and the wall broke into pieces.
It was a situation like that.
The people cracked into several pieces.
There were many people around.
They were watching.
They were watching everything.
They ran.
When they ran, they opened the gate and they fell into the deep null where Mang Xing and the others were.
They fell.
They were too weak.
When they fell, they coughed blood out.
The ground cracked.
They fell even underneath them.
Then footsteps started echoing again.
It was the same thing as usual.
Meanwhile, Po Jun Zing was continuing to walk.
Then the man came out of nowhere and said, "Well, well, I am your helper. Your next goal is that door. You see that? That is your goal. Walk into it."
The man disappeared and Po Jun Zing opened the door and fell into the deep things.
He fell around and looked at the deadly travelers and others.
He said, "Where am I?"
Mang Xing said, "Perfect. Fight me."
Then Po Jun Zing said, "Someone challenging me?"
He thought, why are they leaving many openings?
Like, they are leaving their hand.
When people in his area used to be calm and did not leave openings and counterattack, this was odd for him, very odd.
Nothing was normal in it.
Po Jun Zing said, "If you want to fight, come on."
Then Mang Xing jumped up.
Po Jun Zing just casually touched him.
A big purple light came.
This purple light was bigger than before.
It cracked the whole body of Mang Xing.
He was broken into pieces, just like the others.
Mang Xing could not do anything.
Then Po Jun Zing said, "I thought you were the final boss, but it seems you are not. At least can you tell me, are you over?"
Then Mang Xing said, "No, not yet."
This time a bigger explosion happened than ever.
It blasted the whole battlefield and grabbed them underneath.
They fell into the deep things.
The deadly travelers and the others, even the third blacker's body, fell into the deep thing.
There was still explosion happening in it.
This was a big battlefield.
It was standing three kilometers long and tiny explosions could not clear it.
When the smoke cleared, it was Mang Xing having bigger muscles and turning fully red.
Everything changed red, including the one thing on his head like a rhino horn, but a bigger one.
It all turned red.
It was light red.
Then instantly, Po Jun Zing and Mang Xing punched and punched every time.
Somehow, they were getting punched, collapsing together every time.
But because of this ability of Po Jun Zing, Mang Xing's hand broke, but he regenerated a new one.
This went consecutively when they stood at the ground.
Po Jun Zing combined his hands together, not like a one-fist hit, he basically let one gesture collapse into one, not one-fist hit, but like slaps.
Then he moved it.
He moved it in front of his chest.
Then at a high speed, he instantly came behind Mang Xing.
Mang Xing's body broke and got destroyed into several pieces, just like what happened to his previous form.
But this was his last one.
If everything collapses and nothing is left, it is the end.
It was a risk all along.
Gu Yanshu observed and saw that Po Jun Zing was breathing heavily.
Like he was stressed by that attack.
That meant he used a lot of energy in that attack.
That was the first outcome.
The second was he did this on purpose.
And the third outcome, the last one, was he was just normally breathing.
