Chapter 77 The next step is your own battle
The evil lord, the Snake King, launched a slashing attack on the Fengmo Pill in his hand.

Ominous blade patterns rippled on the incredibly sharp blade, and a fierce and frenzied, poisonous demonic aura like a blazing flame was entwined on the blade - the demonic sword seemed to be shrouded in flickering flames, transforming into a huge wave.

Here it comes.

An unstoppable wave of death is coming.

This move, the Demon King's secret sword technique, "Heavenly Plowing Mud," emanated a torrent of dark black, fiercely toxic, and possessed a corrosive odor. The moment the torrent of poison reached the ground, the earth resembled a swamp of boiling mud, bubbling with bubbles.

boom!
A massive wave crashed down. As a heavy bass rang out, the ground collapsed. Bai Jie's bangs were blown up by the massive demonic energy. He quickly realized there was no way to dodge it, no way to avoid it.

Because he no longer has a place to stand.

He could only raise the spear in his hand high and take on the torrent of evil spirit and poison that was enough to swallow everything.

"How can we fight this?!"

Baijie couldn't find any means to fight back.

Everything was hopeless, it was too late. The air density seemed to have increased ten thousand times, and time was flowing at an astonishingly slow speed.

Spearmanship, spiritual power, combat tactics—all the means he currently possessed were still useless against this kind of attack.

It is like using human power to fight against the ocean. In front of the waves, you are just like an ant.

He can't win.

Facing this level of power, we will definitely be defeated here.

The waves engulfed him, and Baijie's vision turned from white to black, plunging into darkness.

The torrent that was about to burn, corrode, and swallow everything engulfed his consciousness—

"Don't be discouraged. It's just a small obstacle like this. We can overcome it..."

This was a woman's voice, and it sounded low and flat.

A strange force took control of this body. It was another will, instantly taking control of the flesh within the samurai's armor. Baijie lost control of his body, expelled from it by this will.

He was pushed into the void, squeezed into the air, and turned into a ghost-like existence behind him, overlooking the battlefield from behind the Spear Saint.

"Look at it!"

"Imitate it with all my might..."

The voice sounded again.

"...Look. See. Watch."

The woman's voice, that of the Spear Saint, rang out.

The passage of time seemed unusually slow at this moment.

It seems like it will continue like this.

boom!
Passion mingled with the wavelengths of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy behind the spear-wielding warrior radiated into a pitch-black skeleton. That figure seemed to have crossed a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, honing his martial arts skills to the limit.

Whoosh!
With the Spear Saint's body as the center, a torrent of spiritual power spread into the air, and anyone would feel a sense of disharmony at that moment.

"H-How strange?"

Is this really the will of the "Spear Saint"?
Bai Jie didn't have time to be surprised. He sensed something. He knew this was a golden opportunity that only came once in a lifetime. He was completely focused on the Spear Saint's movements.

He gripped the gun handle tightly with both hands, burning his will, squeezing out his spiritual power, and strengthening his physical strength to the limit to sustain the next move.

Swoosh! The spear blade also thrust forward.

"What on earth is this? Why is it so strange?"

Baijie thought that the source of this sense of disharmony must exist somewhere.

At this peak of concentration, time seemed to revolve like a kaleidoscope, stretched dozens of times longer. He had experienced this phenomenon before; it seemed that when a psychic focused their attention to the extreme, they could produce a kind of "bullet time" effect.

However, this is not some "abnormality," it is not a source of disharmony.

"Where...what exactly went wrong?"

He was thinking hard, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to him, and he realized the source of this sense of disharmony.

'shadow!'

From the corner of his eye, he could see the shadow of the spear shot from under the Gun Master's feet.

what?
No action?

Damn? Why won't the shadow move?

No, that's not right.

The shadow is moving, but just too slowly, as if it is poorly imitating the movements of its master, the shadow is chasing the movements of its master.

Baijie swallowed his saliva in his heart, he understood.

The Gun Master's shadow began to fail to keep up with her movements.

"What the hell is this?"

The world came to a standstill.

It is a state that cannot be explained in words at all.

Baijie was stunned. This scene could only be described as "divine skill". He finally understood why the Gun Saint's shadow could not keep up with her movements.

Because the moment this shot was fired, it broke through the blockade of time.

The "bullet time" used by the exorcists is nothing more than a crude sense. To put it bluntly, it is still the manipulation of thoughts and the reflex speed within the human nervous system.

At the critical moment of life and death, some mortals can also experience the sensation of "time gradually slowing down" like a revolving lantern.

However, the "field" touched by the Spear Saint is completely different.

Here is a world where time stands still.

The colors disappeared.

Everything around seemed to be "frozen".

——The world, everything in it, stopped and turned into a landscape like a black and white photograph.

"Why, why?"

Baijie had the illusion of difficulty swallowing. He didn't understand how the Spear Saint achieved this result, but the Spear Saint's movements did not stop during the still time.

"Crack!"

The gun tip advanced slowly like a slow motion, even slower than a turtle crawling.

——Squeak…!
The body beneath the Spear Saint's armor creaked uncontrollably. ...Yes, this was a state of being overloaded.

In a static space and time, even trying to take a step forward would come at a huge cost.

However, a shot fired in this "field" will also have the effect of transcending physical limitations.

With a click——

The gun blade tore through time, and the sound of steel rubbing against each other echoed in the still space and time.

boom!
——'Cross-fanged, barking god style·Damn spear·Moon-breaking, piercing wisdom!!!'

There was a sound like tearing cloth, like Moses parting the sea. The fierce spear spun like a poisonous dragon, piercing through the demon king's move and causing waves between the earth and the sky.

This is an indescribable move, because in essence, the speed of this shot, which "breaks the moon and pierces the wisdom", cannot be described as lightning, because it directly destroys the laws of physics.

Even the powerful demon king, the Snake Ghost King, did not expect that his enemy could launch such an attack.

The next second, an invisible force rushed over, and the tip of the spear pierced through the demon king's armor. With a loud bang, the famous demon king was thrown away.

Baijie was dumbfounded.

He saw clearly that this was neither magic nor supernatural power.

This is purely about pushing skills to the limit and driving the body to reach "divine skills".

'This is the 'end'.'

The voice of the Spear Saint sounded slowly.

'...Unlike magic or supernatural powers, it is a path to enlightenment through magic. What is required is not aptitude or talent, but the continuous refinement of skills, ultimately leading to the transcendental and holy skills.'

'To reach the realm of cessation, one needs to understand one's true nature, comprehend one's own nature, and know how to use one's instincts rather than the brain to understand everything. If one cannot do this, one cannot enter this realm.'

As soon as she finished speaking, the ground in the distance exploded and a blue light flew out like an arrow. It was the Demon King Snake Ghost King, whose body was wrapped in blue evil spirit.

"hahahahahahahahahaha……"

The demon king's mask cracked, revealing his handsome face. The shot that could break the shackles of time and the constraints of the physical world only blew a big hole in his chest, but there was no way to directly destroy and end his life.

"As expected of my friend... This shot was truly refreshing! Let me return the favor!"

A crescent-shaped smile appeared on the lips of the Snake Ghost King, and he raised two demon swords in his left and right hands. One of them was Feng Mo Wan, with a black and red light appearing on the blade, and the other was a pearl-colored slender and fierce blade.

Whoops!

A violent storm suddenly blew up, a gust of wind that was strong enough to make people lose their footing. Leaves, pebbles and sand turned into a tornado and roared towards them. Even the Spear Saint was shaken and had to take a step back.

'Well, here it comes again.'

The Spear Saint spoke slowly.

"Just watch carefully how I fight him, and remember my spearmanship..."

The long spear broke through the air, releasing a comet-like thrust. The Scorpion Ghost King crossed his left and right swords to block the sword.

"Flash Boom."

The Spear Master changes his movements, and there is a flash of lightning!
This vermilion iron spear pierced through the void, revealing its sharp fangs.

The Scorpion King's blocking action was broken, and the second spear stabbed out.

The demon king quickly flew backwards, out of range, but his shoulder armor was still pierced.

Perhaps because the spear was too fast, the demon king was a step slower in his retreat.

The Spear Saint gripped the hilt of his spear and thrust out the secret spear of "Six Stars", a spear that could strike six locations at the same time at super-fast speed.

The Great Demon King stopped and displayed his unpredictable two-handed sword skills. With a flash of the sword, he shot down every attacking gun tip. The sound of the two colliding continued to ring out, and the flashes between the steel fell like a rain of bullets.

"Hundred Stars!!"

The spear tips were like a rain of death falling from the sky. It was a continuous series of spear strikes. Both sides attacked and defended each other. The spear tips and blades splashed a string of sparks that bloomed in the void.

"The Spear Saint... is she teaching me her spearmanship?"

Bai Jie was surprised and happy.

He possessed the "power of mirroring" that allowed him to replicate spearmanship. Now that he had received personal instruction from the Spear Saint, he had more than just "benefited greatly". He was fully observing this battle, concentrating all his energy on it.

The two powerful men fought hard, and the sound of bombardment like a sledgehammer hitting a gong was heard. After a fierce battle, the two powerful men finally stopped temporarily, and the Demon King and the Spear Saint once again entered a confrontation mode.

"...It's almost time."

The Gun Master's voice sounded indifferently.

"The next battle is yours..."

Her voice became disembodied and hollow.

"However, before I leave, I must remind you that, rather than defeating this fellow, it is more important for you to seize that sword. This is the point of the trial—"

The next second, the Spear Saint's will disappeared, and Baijie merged into the Spear Saint's body again like a ghost.

"Eh?"

"Goodbye, my friend."

At the same time, the demon king took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet collapsed and shattered. The figure of this great demon was like lightning, turning into a pale blue meteor.

The tip of Feng Mowan's knife pierced Bai Jie's chest in an instant. He barely had time to react before his chest was pierced.

"ended."

A smile spread across the Demon King's lips.

"puff……"

Blood was coming out of Baijie's mouth, and he also showed an impressive smile.

"That's right... this trial... is over—"

His right hand had reached the Demon King's waist at some point and pulled out the last extremely short knife, which was the shortest of the three knives in the Demon King's possession.

“——This is the real demon sword Feng Mowan!!”

Baijie roared.

In an instant, the dream shattered like shards of glass.

...The dream trial is over.
