The man was incredibly fast; his shadow was still in place, and the blade had already struck Bai Xiaole. Amid the splattering blood, Bai Xiaole's body was pierced through with a single stroke.
However, Bai Xiaole's severed body slowly faded away, leaving only a blur.
Bai Xiaole's body appeared in the void, but at this moment, he was still shaken, his chest stained red with fresh blood.
"Oh no, Xiao Le is locked onto because of fear in his heart, and the power of the spatial technique has been greatly reduced." Luo Xue said in a deep voice.
Bai Xiaole's spatial divine art can be said to be the most exquisite technique, making it difficult to track his movement trajectory. However, Bai Xiaole, out of fear, was suppressed by his soul, his mind flawed, and locked onto by his opponent's mind. In other words, he had already lost.
"That person must have studied Xiaole's background and movement. He leaked the killing plan from the start, deliberately targeting Bai Xiaole's lack of experience." Lu Mingxuan said.
At the Jiuzhou Conference, many people made their fortunes by selling others' information and analyzing opponents' weaknesses. The Jiuzhou Conference was full of talent, so it wasn't difficult to find out Bai Xiaole's background and background.
That man clearly took advantage of Bai Xiaole's lack of combat experience and the fact that he had never killed anyone, so he needed to defeat Bai Xiaole in just a few moves. With a single move, he used a deadly finishing move, nearly cutting Bai Xiaole in two.
"Buzz"
The man moved again, this time seeing his movement trajectory and a vast field of illusions—his speed was too fast.
Bai Xiaole's face was pale. He formed hand seals with both hands, and his figure vanished in an instant.
"Whew."
The man sliced through the air with a single strike, spun swiftly, shot a hundred zhang away, and slashed down again. Just then, Bai Xiaole had just appeared.
Bai Xiaole formed hand seals again, and the person disappeared once more, but no matter how Bai Xiaole dodged, the person always managed to pinpoint his exact location.
Because he had already locked onto Bai Xiaole, all of Bai Xiaole's escape routes would be detected by him.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The man threw nineteen consecutive slashes. Bai Xiaole dodged nineteen times, and on the nineteenth attempt, the blade slashed right at Bai Xiaole's waist, nearly hitting him, causing Luo Ning and the others to gasp in shock.
"Oh no, Xiao Le's movement and dodging patterns are about to be figured out by the opponent. They are about to start predicting things." Young Master Changchuan said gravely.
He had already realized that the man's strike was because he had anticipated Bai Xiaole's position in advance. When the strike was made, Bai Xiaole happened to appear there, clearly seeing through Bai Xiaole's dodging pattern.
To be able to grasp the pattern in such a short time shows that this person is an extremely formidable opponent.
Watching Bai Xiaole being killed so badly that he couldn't fight back, he could only struggle to hold on. If this continued, his path would soon be clearly revealed. After all, Bai Xiaole had too little combat experience, and by then, he might not even have a chance to admit defeat.
But with the grand formation protecting the arena, they couldn't send a message to Bai Xiaole and could only worry helplessly. Golden runes flickered from Bai Shishi's jade-like hands, clearly not as cold as she appeared on the surface, and she was just as nervous inside.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
The man slashed three times in succession, then suddenly stepped on the void, shifted sideways, and slashed into the void, where a shadowy figure appeared.
"Die!"
With a sharp shout, the man slashed like lightning, instantly slicing the phantom in two.
This time, it wasn't a phantom, but a helpless watch as the phantom was sliced in two. Luo Ning and the others cried out in shock.
But they soon realized something was wrong. The phantom had been severed, but there was no blood. When the severed phantom separated, people realized it was actually a robe.
The man was stunned. According to his prediction, Bai Xiaole should have appeared here; he had already fully grasped Bai Xiaole's body patterns.
"Smack"
Just as he was stunned, a large hand suddenly reached out from the air and struck his face hard, producing a crisp bang, and Bai Xiaole's figure appeared immediately.
Bai Xiaole actually slapped the man, but his strength was too weak. The man only tilted his face and didn't cause any real harm.
Bai Xiaole, using the force of a slap, retreated, and laughed heartily at the man:
"Hahaha, kid, you've been played, huh? Do you think I'm an idiot? My spatial technique is an innate divine ability, completely unrestricted by space. Do you think it's some kind of postnatal formation space technique that requires following spatial sequences? Hahaha, you're too childish. "
Bai Xiaole slapped the man. Seeing the man so stunned, he smiled like a child, looking as if he was coming over to hit me, defiant.
For a moment, everyone was stunned. This change was just too fast. Just moments ago, they were worried Bai Xiaole would be killed, and now he was even learning from Long Chen to slap someone in the face.
"Courting death!"
The man was furious, roaring angrily. Divine light surged behind him, blood energy surged skyward. He had been holding back his strength, thinking he could kill Bai Xiaole with minimal force, but instead, he was toyed with and slapped, nearly coughing up blood from anger.
"Hahaha, come on, catch me! If you can't catch me, we'll both be eliminated together. You stab me, I'll slap you, and we'll be even." Bai Xiaole laughed heartily and turned to disappear.
In a fit of rage, the man frantically pursued Bai Xiaole. Bai Xiaole repeatedly cast spatial spells, but every strike missed, and no matter what, he couldn't catch up.
Bai Xiaole kept provoking him, constantly reminding him that time was almost up. Judging by the tone, Bai Xiaole was trying to stall him, and the expert was so angry his face turned green.
"What did you teach him?" Bai Shishi turned to look at Qin Feng, and at that moment, everyone was looking at him.
Qin Feng smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. I just told him that fear is the worst thing to do. You have to find a way to face it, not avoid it. You need to know how to face difficulties head-on. The more afraid you are, the more you have to face them head-on."
There are no shortcuts to becoming strong, but there are techniques. As you can see, he used techniques and it worked very well—one slap directly shattered his fear. "
Everyone suddenly understood. To overcome his fear, Bai Xiaole had deliberately set a trap to lure the man into the hook, just to slap him. After the strike succeeded, his confidence soared, his fear faded, and the man could no longer lock onto him.
The man frantically chased after Bai Xiaole, but Bai Xiaole formed hand seals with overlapping spaces, making it impossible for the man to catch him. His eyes turned red with anger.
"You little bastard, are you really the only one who can hide? If you have guts, come out and fight head-on. The man steadied himself, his long blade pointed at the void and roared.
"Then I'll grant your wish."
The moment that person roared, Bai Xiaole's figure suddenly froze in midair. Three pupils appeared in his eyes. When those three-flower pupils appeared, a forbidden power radiated across the heavens and earth, changing the color of the universe.
