The situation was not good. The cooperation between Shanyu Tongzuo and Qing Tianlin was truly terrifying; every strike was lethal if not dodged in time. The Heavenly Eyes couldn't be activated continuously, and on top of that, the slowing effect from Shanyu Xiaokang was a major hindrance.
"Uni, the Qi of Death is antagonistic to the Qi of Death. Can it temporarily stop this ability?" Zhang Yong asked inwardly.
(That's not possible, because this is a law ability, not natural Qi that you can cancel its effect. However, you should be able to move for a moment within the domain, given that the Law of Life and Death is on the same level as the Law of Time.)
Zhang Yong gritted his teeth. "Tsk, I should have expected that." Zhang Yong leaped high into the air, raised his hand, and a small tube appeared in his palm. He was holding an RPG launcher.
Zhang Yong quickly raised the RPG and fired the rocket directly at Shanyu Xiaokang!
The moment the rocket launched, Shanyu Xiaokang activated his time-slow domain around it. When the rocket entered the slowing range, it slowed down terrifyingly, almost freezing in mid-air.
Zhang Yong raised his hand, and cards were thrown into the air, conjuring dozens of his own illusions across the area.
"Illusion techniques?!" Tsai Fu exclaimed in surprise. He himself possessed the Illusion Law Body and felt these movements were truly illusory, yet simultaneously, something felt wrong!
Qing Tianlin didn't hesitate. He raised his sword and unleashed a sharp sword intent wave at one of the figures, but the sword passed straight through without any resistance!
"It's an illusion? No, this isn't a real illusion technique!" Tsai Fu frowned, unable to fully analyze the situation.
At that moment, one of Zhang Yong's afterimages directly pierced through the slowing domain. It was slower than usual but still moving!
It was because it was an illusion, but Shanyu Xiaokang didn't realize that.
He immediately eased the time slow on the rocket slightly and focused all his power on the illusory Zhang Yong. He couldn't concentrate his domain on a wide area, otherwise everyone around would be affected by this ability. There was no such thing as a perfect defense or complete superiority.
"Impossible! How is he still moving inside my domain?!" Shanyu Xiaokang's expression changed for the first time, but he had no time to think.
Quickly, he raised his hand, trying to expand the slowing range further, but then...
BOOM
Directly behind him, the slowed rocket hit the ground and exploded!
The explosion wasn't ordinary. Due to the slowing effect, pressure had built up inside the rocket for moments before it burst in a violent wave, destroying the time domain temporarily and forcefully pushing Shanyu Xiaokang back.
In his moment of weakness, Zhang Yong appeared before him, his eyes gleaming coldly!
A swift strike!
A devastating punch exploded towards Shanyu Xiaokang's chest!
But suddenly, a spatial gate opened in front of Shanyu Xiaokang!
Shanyu Tongzuo had intervened, trying to save his brother.
But Zhang Yong didn't need to hesitate. His fist was charged with terrifying power; even crossing through space, it would reach its target.
However, as his fist entered the gate, it didn't emerge from the other side!
"What?!"
Suddenly, Zhang Yong felt a pulling force trying to drag him entirely into the gate!
"You tried to kill him, so I'll send you into the void!"
Shanyu Tongzuo hadn't opened an ordinary gate; this was a gate leading to the absolute void!
Normally, gates function as a means of transport, opening a connection between two points in space. But... what if he didn't open another gate on the opposite side?
The person would be lost in the void, torn apart by spatial distortions if their body went in without protection.
That's why the Sacrificial Escape Matrix was a one-time thing, much safer, because the matrix's nature could guarantee safety during unguided travel, at least until exiting the path.
Zhang Yong's hand began to disappear inside the gate, as if evaporating into the void.
"Don't even try!" Huo Qiangda declared, suddenly appearing above Shanyu Tongzuo and swinging his enlarged fist with insane force, aiming directly for his head!
Shanyu Tongzuo had been focused on pulling Zhang Yong into the void and wasn't prepared for Huo Qiangda's intervention so quickly.
He was about to create another gate to block Huo Qiangda, but he was trapped.
If he decided to open a gate in front of himself while Zhang Yong continued his attack, his brother would undoubtedly be crushed. If he didn't, he himself would be crushed.
Of course, he would die. By manipulating the space around his body, he could instantly teleport himself to evade, but at the same time, it would have the same result.
In the end, he made his decision. Shanyu Tongzuo's body flickered and vanished from in front of Huo Qiangda's fist.
Huo Qiangda's attack, which was supposed to crush the opponent's head, hit nothing but air, causing Huo Qiangda to frown in anger.
As the spatial gate disappeared, it stopped Zhang Yong from completing his work.
Zhang Yong's fist slammed directly into Shanyu Xiaokang's chest with tremendous force, the impact echoing across the arena, as if an entire mountain had fallen from the sky.
Shanyu Xiaokang's eyes narrowed sharply as the ribs in his chest shattered under the destructive punch's effect. The resulting shockwave tore his body apart internally.
He was sent flying backward at a terrifying speed, crashing through several huge boulders before finally stopping, his body swaying violently and blood gushing profusely from his mouth.
But, before he could fall completely, a strange light wrapped around him as space began to distort around him.
"Don't give him a chance!" Huo Qiangda shouted like thunder, charging towards Shanyu Xiaokang at a terrifying speed, his enlarged fist ready to deliver the finishing blow.
Space cracked again!
Shanyu Tongzuo emerged from the spatial fold like a ghost, his face dark, raising his hand quickly, trying to pull his brother into another spatial gate!
"You're not the only one who controls space!"
Spirit stones rose high into the sky, and a spatial cube formed around Shanyu Tongzuo.
"I can break this formation in two seconds!" Shanyu Tongzuo sneered mockingly.
This formation was made from first-level Space Law, while Space Law was already part of Shanyu Tongzuo's body, so breaking through it was easy.
"Two seconds is more than enough time," Huo Qiangda smiled as he charged savagely, the spectral form of a wild boar flickering behind him as he headed for Shanyu Xiaokang.
He was still weakened from Zhang Yong's previous strike.
It would be impossible for him to evade the attack in this state!
Shanyu Tongzuo, who was trying to break the spatial formation, realized the danger to his brother and shouted angrily, "Stop!" But time was not on his side!
Huo Qiangda's fist landed on Shanyu Xiaokang's head and exploded it like a watermelon, turning his head into a gelatinous mixture of brain and blood.
Shanyu Tongzuo, still trying to break the spatial formation, froze in place. He stared at the expressionless corpse for a moment, but rage seemed to boil deep within him.
Suddenly, space exploded from his body wildly, tearing the spatial cube apart in an instant, and the space around him began to crack violently.
"You... will all die!" Shanyu Tongzuo screamed, his voice filled with anger and power, his eyes transforming into vortices of void, like gates to nothingness.
The killing intent radiating from him was so intense that it made the air around him tremble.
"Shut up, your voice is annoying!" Huo Qiangda raised his fist and struck Shanyu Xiao Kang's face with a blow soaked in blood, sending Shanyu Tong Zu flying.
At the same time, Qing Tian Lin's sword intent launched toward Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong quickly retreated, sensing the incoming danger, but he wasn't the only one moving.
Suddenly, Su Ming appeared beside Zhang Yong, surrounded by a strange aura. He looked at the incoming sword intent and said calmly, "Let me handle this."
Su Ming raised his sword and unleashed waves of golden sword intent toward Qing Tian Lin's sword intent.
The sword intents collided with tremendous force.
Su Ming's golden sword intent clashed with Qing Tian Lin's, causing a massive energy explosion that shot high into the sky.
Shockwaves spread in all directions, sending rocks flying and cracking the ground under the terrifying force.
Zhang Yong was surprised to see Su Ming had quickly recovered and turned his head to see:
Shin Wan Yun against Wu Ruoxian
Liu Yan against Mao Zidong
Cai Fu against Jiang Ruian
Liang Xin against Long Yuliang
Immediately, Shin Wan Yun shouted toward Cai Fu, "Cai Fu!"
Cai Fu instantly split his arms and released a fog that covered the arena within a barrier.
Within the dense fog, visibility disappeared completely — Cai Fu had activated his illusion field.
Zhang Yong immediately looked behind him and saw Cai Fu running toward him.
He stomped on the ground and punched Cai Fu directly, but his fist passed straight through him.
Wind blades launched toward Zhang Yong, but he immediately jumped and dodged them.
Zhang Yong quickly retreated, staring at the dense fog covering the arena.
He closed his eyes for a second, then opened them with a faint glow.
Suddenly, multiple versions of Cai Fu appeared around him — most of them were copies.
Zhang Yong immediately turned and dashed in a certain direction, swinging his fist.
"You're the real one!"
Cai Fu turned, surprised at Zhang Yong's ability to detect him.
Zhang Yong's punch landed on Cai Fu's body, but it passed through him and dispersed like a shadow.
"You want to touch me? Too bad, in this field, my body is untouchable!" Cai Fu laughed loudly.
A high-pitched buzzing sounded, and spears flashed through the air.
Zhang Yong jumped and began dodging rapidly, one movement after another.
From the direction of the buzzing, swarms of bees appeared and began chasing Zhang Yong.
He closed his eyes for a brief moment, then opened them with a mysterious glow. His Heavenly Eyes started scanning the area at incredible speed.
Zhang Yong took two steps back, then stomped the ground, sending out a wave of air.
"Found you," he muttered coldly.
In an instant, Zhang Yong dashed at insane speed, not attacking a specific image but targeting the empty space beside him.
He swung his fist, enveloped in Death Qi, but instead of striking Cai Fu's body, he hit the air beside him.
Yet, Zhang Yong's hand passed directly through Cai Fu's body.
Zhang Yong leaped toward a specific direction and suddenly appeared in front of a shadow in front of him.
"You can't escape!"
He swung his fist and struck with full force, but he felt his punch hit steel instead of a body.
The shadow bent forward.
"Ah, damn you, Cai Fu, you bastard!" It was Huo Qiangda's voice.
Zhang Yong was momentarily confused; he hadn't expected to strike Huo by mistake.
Still, he noticed Cai Fu's presence through his Heavenly Eyes and dashed toward him. He threw a punch at Cai Fu, but it vanished.
Immediately, Zhang Yong shifted, signaling to the nearest Huo Qiangda:
"There! To your right!"
Huo Qiangda turned, dashed quickly, and struck with full force, sending Cai Fu's solid body flying through the air before disappearing again.
Zhang Yong was surprised, then asked, "You can hit him?"
"Can't you?" Huo Qiangda looked astonished.
Zhang Yong shook his head, signaling refusal.
"I can't, he evaporates with every strike."
Huo Qiangda replied, "How do you find him? I can't locate him."
At that moment, an idea flashed in Zhang Yong's mind, and he quickly commanded Huo Qiangda, "Turn!"
The moment Zhang Yong gave the order, his Heavenly Eyes had already detected Cai Fu's precise movements within the thick fog.
Huo Qiangda turned, and at that moment, Zhang Yong grabbed his back firmly.
"What?!..." Huo Qiangda was surprised by Zhang Yong's action.
"I can see him, and you can hit him. We have to work together," Zhang Yong explained, holding on tightly.
Huo Qiangda sighed, "I'll do it temporarily."
Zhang Yong nodded and indicated, "Fifteen steps to the left."
Huo Qiangda understood quickly, and despite his surprise at moving this way, he began following Zhang Yong's instructions.
Huo Qiangda dashed fifteen steps to the left and struck with force.
The punch hit hard in the air, but this time, it did not strike an illusion. Cai Fu coughed up blood as he slammed into the ground, scattering into the air as if he had completely vanished. Only some lights disappeared quickly, leaving no trace.
"South, twenty steps."
"East, ten steps."
"Back, five steps."
"Turn right, fifteen steps."
Huo Qiangda followed Zhang Yong's instructions precisely, dashing in the designated directions and striking without holding back.
With every hit, Cai Fu staggered and vanished for a moment before reappearing, but signs of exhaustion began to show clearly.
Zhang Yong smiled coldly, his Heavenly Eyes glowing with a deep light.
"Endgame, Cai Fu. Huo Qiangda, I choose you. Direct attack."
Huo Qiangda dashed directly toward the direction Zhang Yong indicated, striking with his Qi-wrapped fist toward the empty space before him without hesitation.
This time, when his fist hit, there was no evaporation. A deep impact sound was followed by a muffled scream of pain.
Cai Fu's body trembled for a moment. His eyes widened in shock, as if his mind could not comprehend what had happened, but he was not given a chance to catch his breath.
Zhang Yong raised his hand, leapt off Huo Qiangda's back, swung his sword, and severed Cai Fu's head. It flew into the air as blood spurted from his body like a fountain.
Zhang Yong took a deep breath, looking at the spot where Cai Fu had stood moments ago.
Then he looked at Huo Qiangda, who was leaning on his knees, panting from the tremendous effort.
"Is it over?" Huo Qiangda muttered softly.
Zhang Yong looked around cautiously, then nodded.
"Yes, it's over."
At that moment, the fog began to recede, revealing everyone.
Shin Wan Yun stood panting, holding his injured arm, but his gaze remained sharp. On the other side, Wu Ruoxian stood mostly unharmed, holding her long bloodstained sword. Her look was as cold as ice.
Mao Zidong knelt on one knee, controlling a swarm of bees that had exhausted his mental energy. Liu Yan stood a few steps away, visibly exhausted.
Su Ming was not in good condition; his body was bruised, and his clothes were torn in places. Qing Tian Lin lay motionless on the ground.
Liang Chen was lying on the ground, breathing heavily, while Long Yuliang stood in front of him, appearing more relaxed despite some wounds on her arm. It was clear that Long Yuliang had the advantage in the fight — after all, the origin flame body had an advantage over the wood body.
But before anyone could catch their breath, the air around them trembled, and reality began to warp strangely.
Shanyu Tong Zu stood before them again, his entire body glowing emptily, eyes blood-red. He raised both hands high.
"You will all… die!"
As his words spread, reality around them changed. The ground they stood on split, appearing to sink into a black-and-white spiral.
Wu Ruoxian shouted urgently, "This is bad! He intends to detonate his law of strength body!"
Everyone rushed toward Shanyu Tong Zu to stop him before it was too late.
With a faint tearing sound, space itself split, and Shanyu Tong Zu's body divided in half with white light, exploding and releasing a catastrophic energy wave.
Zhang Yong felt his body being pulled in different directions, flying toward the void in what resembled a black-and-white wormhole tunnel.
He had no sense of direction as his body stretched and contracted violently, resembling a blender, each part screaming in intense pain.
