.
Luoyin moved in the thousandth split of a second, and his sea-blue trail breezed by Yu Wang.
Everything suddenly slowed...
At first Yu Wang felt nothing, and after several seconds, only a sudden wet sensation drew his attention.
It was almost as if water was trickling down his middle, wetting his robes, and he glanced downwards....
...but that slight movement ripped open the flesh of his middle, and there was a sudden spray of his black blood.
"What...?"
His entire body froze, suddenly unable to move the tiniest muscle.
In the next instant, an overwhelming wave of aura caused his knees to buckle, and he fell forward, falling from the skies and crashing onto the jagged ground below.
A bright golden fire erupted around him and he shrieked in agony as the flame burned him inside out, sending dark wraiths fleeing from within him till he was nothing but skin and bone.
The dark wraiths circled above him for only a few seconds before fading completely, and there wasn't the slightest bit of his aura left.
There were shocked gasps from the immortals who had followed the fight as best they could, but had long since given up on understanding every aspect.
From their humble viewpoints, a sea blue streak had clashed multiple times with a streak of black aura, and then both streaks had slowed to reveal Yin Xiaolong and the demon king...
And then the demon king had somehow collapsed and fallen from the skies all on his own, right before the massive golden flame had finished him!
Through sheer force of will, Yu Wang lifted his head to stare at his shining other half before him.
"You-... What did you do?!" He demanded, sending flecks of blood and saliva from his lips. "How are you so powerful?!!"
"Hmph." Luoyin appeared to stare down at him.
...much like he had done to all the many minions and footprints Yu Wang had sent his way through unending years...
"I told you, I only needed my memories as Yu Xuan to defeat you. Between his memories, my life as Yin Xiaolong, and even my life as Zhang Luoyin, who do you think you're facing?"
Yu Wang's eyes widened.
The person before him had lived once a demon, then an Immortal, then a mortal...
Knowledge of all three races!
And given his original strength and medical affinity, then,
"You've realized too late..." Luoyin continued. "The seconds after I reclaimed my Pearl were more than enough to Breakthrough several levels. And with that, I could easily predict the swiftest possible way to defeat you.
"But it's more than that..." Luoyin held up a hand and two orbs appeared, hovering over his palm.
One was a light blue orb of wind, which bore a dense amount of Old man Bao's aura.
The other was a fiery golden orb of Weiyan's pure Sunfire.
And behind him, a large golden gingko tree appeared, its leaves glinting sharply.
"Your selfish black-heart will never let you see true comradeship, or I should say... You can't even comprehend it.
"Unlike you, I have people behind me who are ready to give their all to ensure both your death and my safety, and I didn't even ask..."
