Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 470 Dual Traction
Although he didn't know what Mroshi was thinking, Mu Xiang naturally wouldn't just think without doing anything. After failing to achieve his goal with a single strike but having obtained the information he wanted, he struck Mroshi's back with another palm strike.

Ripples appeared in the void, and after these water-like surges, layers of dark blue emerged, blocking Mu Xiang's palm strike.

Why would Mu Xiang back down? Having already figured things out, wouldn't retreating now be pointless? Besides, he still has some time left in his spatial-temporal vision, so he can see the result of pushing forward.

Although Mroshi is very strong, it's absolutely impossible for anyone who comes into contact with his energy to be corrupted... That would be illogical.

The light of the Candle erupted in Mu Xiang's palm. Under the fourth-tier gene lock, his control over the Candle was even more refined. His body was now more compatible with the Candle, resulting in greater efficiency and less self-damage compared to before. Therefore, it was much easier to unleash the surging Kryptonian energy in a specific location!
The precisely controlled Kryptonian energy was unleashed with a palm strike. The surrounding ripples neutralized the layered blue light, while the core imprinted itself on Muroch's protective light shield. With a deafening roar, the light shield behind him shattered abruptly, and the fragments of light, like shards of glass, flew towards Mu Xiang, tearing open the dark void wherever they passed.

Mu Xiang's hand remained still, but he let out a roar, unleashing a violent gust of cold wind that blew away the shattered light along with the torn space. After this roar, the surrounding space involuntarily converged towards this point. And this palm strike, without stopping, even more powerfully struck Muroshi's back.

The vortex hovering behind Mroshi's head seemed to want to move, but ultimately failed to stop anything.

In that instant, both sides mobilized their energy, ready to be created or destroyed at any moment, but with Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie restraining them, Mu Xiang still gained the upper hand. After one palm strike, a violent energy conflict erupted, Mu Xiang retreated, while Muroshi leaned forward.

Although Muroshi suffered a loss, he did not stop as he leaned forward. He raised his other hand and slapped it into the void, whereupon a vortex appeared and swallowed Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie's attacks.

The connection between the flaming giant sword and Zanpakuto, formed from condensed energy, and Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie was suddenly severed. Two violent tremors then forced them back. Seeing that the energy had vanished, leaving only their weapons, they realized with shock that the previous tremors were likely the result of their weapons colliding within the vortex!

Zheng Zha's expression was rather unpleasant. Zhang Jie, while feeling the sharp pain in his wrist, looked at Zheng Zha in surprise... No, why was he seeing Zheng Zha's expression?
Cracks had appeared on the surface of the Asura Battle Body, and the helmet-like blood-red head in the middle had split open, revealing Zheng Zha's solemn expression.

Zhang Jie, after all, wasn't yet at the fourth rank, so his perception of the subtle impact of the collision was slightly weaker... Zheng Zha had sensed something was wrong just now and immediately directed the violent shockwave towards himself, thus bearing the brunt of the impact. Now that he thought about it, there was definitely something more to that vortex than just amplifying the collision of their attacks; it was practically like grabbing two weapons and slamming them together.

"Damn it..." Zhang Jie glanced at his wrist; a crack had appeared on the right wrist of his prosthetic body. Although it wasn't made of flesh and blood, Zhang Jie could still feel pain after his soul merged with the prosthetic body.

The weakened impact has damaged the artificial body, which is not good news for Zhang Jie... The artificial body itself has no strength to speak of, and there are no high-end products like A-grade and S-grade even at the main god's place, so its strength depends entirely on the user's soul power.

After all, prosthetic bodies are meant for Shinigami who have lost their powers. For Shinigami bloodline enhancers in the Main God Space, it's a stopgap measure after losing their physical bodies, a way to prolong their lives in extreme situations, allowing them to return to the Main God Space and be repaired. The fact that Zhang Jie can use a prosthetic body to participate in this level of combat is already a result of his own incredible skill.

The recent damage proves that Murrosh can completely penetrate his telekinetic defenses and injure the protected prosthetic body. The prosthetic body carries Zhang Jie's spiritual body; although Zhang Jie can detach himself, an extra layer of protection is always beneficial against such a powerful enemy. Now it seems that the protection from telekinesis to the prosthetic body, and then to the spiritual body… is still somewhat insufficient.

Zhang Jie channeled his telekinetic powers into the prosthetic body, forcefully pulling along both sides of the crack to heal the wound, just as he treated physical injuries. Just as he and Zheng Zha were about to launch their next attack, Mu Xiang's urgent reminder echoed in their minds:
"Go back!"

The next moment, Muroch raised his hands high, the trident naturally disappearing, and he faced upwards conceptually, the vortex behind his head vanishing abruptly. No, it didn't disappear; rather, it expanded in an instant, spreading beyond the three's field of vision. The several dark blue wisps that had surrounded Muroch shrank inwards, and in this expansion and contraction, a dark and terrifying vortex of blue energy erupted forth.

The moment Mu Xiang reminded him, he began to move. The entire space seemed to become viscous, which even after Mu Xiang unleashed his Candle-Holding Technique, it was still somewhat hindered.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie retreated. Although their fight was quite intense, it seemed that less than ten minutes had passed... Perhaps Mu Xiang saw something from his still-functioning spacetime vision.

But it seemed too late. The moment the vortex appeared, their expressions changed. A push and a pull—two completely opposite forces—appeared upon them. The raging energy vortex expanded outwards, while the surrounding space was drawn into it. If they couldn't dodge, they might be torn to shreds by the combined effects of energy and space!

Mu Xiang arrived, and with a full-force palm strike, he tore through the void, aiming for Muroshi's head. The space drawn in solidified into a tangible form, shimmering with a ghostly blue light as it met Mu Xiang's attack. Mu Xiang's expression remained unchanged; he changed his strike into a press, shattering the distorted space while simultaneously using the force to reach Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie, kicking them both towards him.

These two kicks, powerful enough to shatter a demigod into two pieces, struck the pre-formed telekinetic barrier with tremendous force, sending Zheng Zha and the other person flying out.

Only then did Mu Xiang's momentum stop. He took a deep breath, resisting the double pull of the vortex, and turned to look at Muroshi.

Muroch also turned his gaze to him, seemingly amazed that a fourth-tier beginner could withstand such a move.

As his spacetime vision was about to disappear, Mu Xiang kept looking back after entering the abyss, while also controlling the duration of his spacetime vision... He succeeded. He used his spacetime vision to prevent this scene from unfolding before Murroshi could unleash his powerful attack that would severely injure Zheng Zha and the other two.

Whether he estimates it himself or looks ahead using his spatiotemporal perspective... it will be much more difficult for Mu Xiang to defeat Muroshi alone than to defeat Nordens alone. The remaining spatiotemporal perspective is not enough for him to calculate the probability of victory or defeat, but it is clear that there is no 70% chance of winning.

However... Mu Xiang wasn't fighting Muroch alone. Although he had to be careful about Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie's safety, his chances of winning were still higher than fighting a powerful spirit alone.
