Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 309 Two Sides
While Mu Xiang was still flying backwards in the air, he felt an extremely strong threat from above. He looked up, cursed inwardly, and the crescent moon he had just been holding in front of his chest suddenly shot upwards.

As soon as the fire was lit and spread to the sky, the moonlight was scattered in an instant.

The burst of moonlight blade light curled upwards, but upon touching the countless emerald-colored celestial sounds, it naturally slipped through the gaps. Looking at the blade light that had passed through, it was noticeably dimmer, immediately losing its power.

"Tsk..."

The celestial music drifted down gently, but it arrived at Mu Xiang's side in an instant. This celestial music was actually extremely fast. Mu Xiang sighed, and his whole body burst with golden light, as if the sun was shining inside him. The next moment, he had already dodged the celestial music that was closing in on him with unbelievable speed.

In his candle-wielding form, Mu Xiang once again closed in on the Jade Supreme, dodging the attack and appearing behind him. The Moonlit Blade unleashed a simple yet powerful sweeping strike.

The Jade Supreme Master let out a sound of surprise, and a hand reached out from behind him, pinching the blade between two fingers.

The blinding moonlight and the blade's edge vanished abruptly at that moment, and the blade, which had been whistling and buzzing just moments before, was suddenly brought to a complete stop!

Mu Xiang, of course, would not abandon his sword. Without hesitation, he launched a flying kick. The kick, gleaming with dazzling golden light, slashed into the waist of the Emerald Supreme, encountering no resistance whatsoever, and Mu Xiang didn't even feel the impact.

The only feeling was a chill as if he had fallen into an ice cave... The sense of crisis made Mu Xiang burst out with tremendous strength, retreating with his knife, and doing a backflip.

The Moonlit Blade, now free from that hand, finally regained its luster. With a thought from Mu Xiang, the Moonlit Blade slashed sideways, deflecting an incoming Heavenly Sound. Only then did Mu Xiang land and stand still; the previous deluge had reached a height of no more than two meters above the ground.

Mu Xiang flashed and moved left and right in the air, passing through the Heavenly Sounds.

A solemn face appeared behind the Jade Supreme Master's head, and the hand that had previously held Ji Yue behind his back was raised. Mu Xiang gave a low shout, and Ji Yue lashed out with lightning speed, blocking an invisible wave of energy, but was also sent flying backward. Only when he regained his footing did the blinding golden light from the candle fade.

Fortunately, after entering the fourth tier, I was able to pause the Candle-Holding technique... otherwise, before I could even inflict any effective damage on him, I would have been toyed with until I died...

Mu Xiang managed to dodge the flowery words by holding a candle in his hand, while Zheng Zha dealt with them in a different way.

Although the crimson flames that constituted the Asura Battle Body were completely lost, the energy reserves of the vampire prince were terrifying... Even though Zheng Zha had just stepped into the fourth rank, he could still unleash the full power of his bloodline. And the vampire prince, a double A-rank, was already a demigod!
The falling flowers from the sky made Zheng Zha grit his teeth and unleash a burst of crimson flames. Guided by him, the flames transformed into an upward-spinning fire tornado, growing larger and darker with each rotation. When the fire tornado met the falling flowers, it was pitch black. Looking at the surging black flames within the fire tornado, one could see two roaring black snakes intertwined.

Upon hearing this move, Zheng Zha's face paled slightly. After all, he didn't have Mu Xiang's speed and reaction time, so he could only rely on energy to deal with him.

Zheng Zha was still unsure of the true power of the Heavenly Sound, so he could only proceed with caution... Although he had already refined eight or nine tenths of the Blood Core, and the Blood Core was no longer a fatal weakness, he still dared not attempt to escape by directly transforming into Blood Clan energy.

After all, escaping as energy, while avoiding many weaknesses of the physical body... still raises concerns about the possibility of encountering a clash of energies or even stronger ones, jeopardizing one's post-escape condition. Besides, there are those who didn't even manage to escape, like the group from the Polar Day Society...

Well, those people from the Polar Day Society probably didn't expect that Mu Xiang wouldn't release energy to annihilate them, but instead would directly use high speed to chase after them.

The black fire tornado, like a gaping maw, sucked in the numerous celestial sounds. As the emerald-colored celestial sounds poured in, the fire tornado's twisting began to become chaotic. Although it wasn't directly pierced, it couldn't hold out for long.

Zheng Zha cursed, raising the Branch of Annihilation, stirring up a wisp of black flame in the air. He swung it forward to clear a path, then flapped his dragon-scale bat wings, propelling himself forward. The next moment, emerald luster shone through the black fire tornado. With a low, shattering sound, the fire tornado broke into pieces, scattering into fragments of green light.

The green light landed with several crisp sounds... but the ground was riddled with interconnected pits.

"Damn it, so troublesome..." Zheng Zha cursed, looking up at Mu Xiang.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously launched a fierce attack on the Emerald Supreme who stood proudly in place.

As the Branch of Destruction was swung, black flames surged from the air, as if under command, sweeping and swirling, falling from all directions toward the Emerald Supreme in various ways.

Although Zheng Zha had only just emerged from the fourth-order gene lock state and hadn't even fully grasped "who I am, where am I, and what am I doing," his combat awareness was still formidable... He really liked a piece of advice Mu Xiang had once given him:
"Zheng Zha, you're different from others... If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it, just do it!"

The Jade Supreme looked silently at Zheng Zha, then crossed his hands, and countless green magic patterns bloomed, layer upon layer, transforming into a massive celestial sound that blocked the black flames one by one.

At that moment, the Branch of Destruction unleashed a pillar of black flames tens of meters long, which cleaved down straight down!

Just as the blade was about to strike, Mu Xiang suddenly flicked his wrist, and the crescent moon swept past the jade-green fingers, changing the slash into a slap, directly striking the Jade Supreme Warrior's shoulder.

The next moment, the left fist, imbued with the boundless sword energy, arrived. The sound of the fist tearing through the air was incredibly shrill, and the almost solidified boundless sword energy also carved scars into the space.

The emerald-green face behind his head was utterly calm. Another hand appeared from behind, silently blocking Mu Xiang's left fist. There was no sound of collision, and the whooshing sound of air being cut stopped abruptly... Mu Xiang only felt the boundless sword energy and force on his fist vanish, as if a mud ox had entered the sea!

Mu Xiang turned to leave, but just then, a jade-green handprint landed on his chest.

The next moment, the violent, boundless sword energy and force slammed into Mu Xiang's body. He groaned and retreated violently.

[As expected of a fifth-order energy control... no need for fancy transformation techniques, it can directly use the opponent's own methods against them.]

A faint pain shot through his ribs, but Mu Xiang ignored it and slashed out with his sword. A crescent blade burst forth and slashed straight forward.

The Limitless Sword Qi is incomparably sharp. When one controls the sword with Qi and moves the sword with their body, it will wear down the meridians... Therefore, in the original world view, only people with strong meridians can master this move.

Mu Xiang's physical strength goes without saying. Although the counterattack of the Limitless Sword Qi was violent, it was not much more intense compared to his already high starting point, so Mu Xiang was able to barely withstand it.

[If it were some other energy source... this backlash would be as terrifying as an explosion.]
