道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

"To me, to their sisters, she and Xisifeiliya aren't outsiders. Above all there's nothing wrong with a man relying on his wife is there?"

Any one can say these words but when it comes from Duo Tian's mouth with a tone as casual as the one he had used it felt especially cheap.

*...!!!* as a soul shocking pressure descends the structures of Ji Rong Kingdom that are set ablaze begins to melt leaving behind a sea of ashen colored flames.

At the center of this ashen inferno is a single phantom body and if one is able to see through the silver radiance that emanates from this phantom they would see that beneath their feet rests a swirling vortex.

The faster this vortex's rate of rotation became the faster the lands of Ji Rong Kingdom would shrink and as this is happening the air emanating from the monarch level phantom would continue to surge.

[...]

Constricting his eyes Ji Di Tian looks into the ashen infernos. Although the image is rather distorted due the flame's scorching heat it's clear to him that this phantom is modeled after a woman.

Amidst the ashen sea of flames that most of the phantom bodies are merging into appears the beast eared phantom from before and as the former makes eye contact with the monarch level phantom the two seemingly comes to a silent agreement.

Following this unknown agreement the former merges with the latter causing the fluctuation of energy from the latter to rise by another level.

*...!!!* in less than three breaths' worth of time the entirety of Ji Rong Kingdom vanishes from sight and manifesting behind the phantom body of silver radiance is a magic circle that resembles a clock's face.

*Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.* as the needles of this clock begins to move the phantom raises their right hand and points to Ji Di Tian.

In that instance a similar clock appears behind the latter and-

*Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.* as the second clock's needles begins to move in a counter clockwise direction that matches the speed of the first clock a strange feeling of suffocation presses down on Ji Di Tian's chest.

[Control over time?]

Looking down at his hand Ji Di Tian immediately notices the growing number of wrinkles that would generally appear on an aging body.

As a harsh gleam flashes from Ji Di Tian's eyes he immediately tries to approach the phantom body but upon shrinking the distance by a few hundred meters he can't help but halt in his footsteps for the closer he got to the phantom the greater the effects of time's passage would have on his body.

In the same instance the ashen sea of flames is lifted by Duo Tian as he readily hurls it towards Ji Di Tian!

Towards the ashen sea's approach Ji Di Tian raises his fist and strikes out a punch.

*!!!* the strength of Ji Di Tian's strike causes the sea of flames to be extinguished but before he can think about his next move Duo Tian, Yuzao Qian, and Akatuosi approaches from three separate directions.

Responding to this attack that came from the front, right, and left Ji Di Tian's first reaction was to take a step back however-

[...]

[I was wondering where you had gone...]

Appearing behind Ji Di Tian is the figure of the Asura Monarch who had silently steps out of the voids.

Judging by the air of the Asura Monarch at this time he has successfully recovered more than half of his strength and without allowing this chance to slip from his grasp he readily throws out a punch that cleanly connects with Ji Di Tian's back!

*!!!* struck by this surprise attack Ji Di Tian grits his teeth as he holds back the urge to spew out a mouthful of blood.

Exploiting this opportunity the three foxes each held a blade in their hand and swung it down on their intended target.

[Tch!]

Choosing to block Yuzao Qian and Akatuosi's attack that came from the sides Ji Di Tian ends up receiving Duo Tian's slash with Wang Nian on his chest.

Instantaneously blood gushes out of the wound like an uncontrollable flood!

Without letting Duo Tian land a second hit Ji Di Tian stomps the air beneath his foot causing the space beneath him to shatter.

Falling into the voids while barely voiding Duo Tian's second strike Ji Di Tian can't help but feel astonished as the effects of time's passage continues to wear away at his flesh.

(Just who is this phantom? Even if they are an outsider of this world they should have been quite a renowned figure back in their homeland. And...)

Looking down at his chest Ji Di Tian notices that the cut he received from Duo Tian has yet to show any signs of closing.

(A curse? Is this the effects of that blade?)

Recalling how Demon Blade Wang Nian is said to be one of the three blades crafted by the hands of Shu Tian Xiao with Li Jiu Tian's assistance Ji Di Tian suddenly didn't find it surprising for it to be capable of wounding him.

*Thump. Thump. Thump.* hearing the sound of a zither's strings being plucked Ji Di Tian immediately snaps his attention back to his surroundings and-

*Boom!!!* in the same instance a figure wielding a spear and sword lashes out from the side!

[You.]

Greeting him with the black sword in his right hand is none other than Ye Gui Feng.

Even before a hint of disdain can show on Ji Di Tian's face-

[Uh?]

Astonishment and confusion are what appears first as lines of azure colored cracks appear on the hand Ji Di Tian had used to block Ye Gui Feng's attack.

[Do you recall that discomforting feeling you had when you performed the fourth phase of your Absolute Law?]

Instantly remembering the uncomfortable sensation that is akin to being bitten by a poisonous snake Ji Di Tian immediately begins to back away from Ye Gui Feng but-

[Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Five Elemental Dao of Music, Sound of the Five Sacred Beasts!]

*Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.* directing the Ancient Immortal Spear in his left hand towards Ji Di Tian the five-stringed zither is played and following it the illusory figure of five Heavenly Beasts that represents one of the five elements lunges out from behind Ye Gui Feng and charges at Ji Di Tian!
