"Grug!" Jin Rou's attack landed fully on Karshias and was thrown away. After bumping on the thick wall of arena, he spat a mouthful of blood and knelt.

Jin Rou sighed in relief. He thought that he's going to spend another batch of his reserved qi. Fortunately, he dealt a critical blow to the enemy or else it might have caused him enormous resources.

In actuality, Jin Rou was expecting that his last slash series would only injure Karshias by a number. After all, Karshias was very powerful that he could almost rival his father, Fan Rou already. However, it wasn't the case so things and his plan went smoothly more than the calculated.

Demure was surprised to see this result. He thought that Karshias could survive it without getting injured this grave. But it wasn't the case right now. The table was turning slowly on their enemies' tide so he needed to step up his game.

"Do you think with your Colossal Intensification, you can already stop me?" Demure asked Syni Su. It was clear that he was trying to provoke the lady.

Colossal Intensification was the name of Syni Su's current activated system, and it was her ultimate. Packed with strong force and defense, it was capable of attacking and defending at the same time. In fact, even Jin Rou needed to tread carefully if he wanted to survive this skill.

"Don't you underestimate our power, you devil." Syni Su sneered, "My family is the second strongest out of all while yours is at the bottom of the food chain, trying to get a living barely. So who are you to act high and mighty in front of me?"

"..." Demure's expression turned very cold and sinister. His eyes were glaring at Syni Su as if he wanted to skin the lady alive for several times until he was relieved of his desire and revenge, "I would love to shred you into thousand pieces and drink your blood right now. With how precious your blood is, I know it would be very delicious."

"Only if you have the capability, that is." Syni Su chuckled, "But I doubt about it."

"Looks like getting a power up made you think that you can push me over." Demure's hands quickly moved like a snake and said, "Very well, I will let you taste how powerful I am. Remember, I am the ruler of this place!"

"Boom!" Then, thousands of swords appeared behind Demure. Each sword carried a terrifying amount of power. He looked like he was ready to kill his enemies fast and clean.

"Bulge." Syni Su's muscles were acting up as they created a muscular protection for her, "Come."

"Whoosh!" Just when she said that, Demure moved so fast that he reached Syni Su in quarter of a second. His hands sharpened and made a slapping gesture towards her.

"Boom!" Syni Su crossed her arms before her face and received the attack which thrown her in a distance.

What power! Syni Su was shocked with this strength. It was just a brute force, yet it already threw her away like a paper. Not to mention, her arms took damage even with the fact that she fortified her muscles.

"Hah!" Syni Su immediately backed up and rushed towards Demure. This time, she took the opportunity to initiate the attack. She crumpled her fist and made a punching pose.

"Boom!" A loud explosion was created as a gargantuan force came out of Syni Su's fist. It created a shockwave that shook the entire geography of the arena.

"Useless attack." Demure snorted and used a hundred swords to make a shield. It then turned into an unbreakable one as the shockwave wasn't successful to break through it.

"Thump! Thump!" However, Syni Su wasn't finished yet. She stomped the ground two times to charge momentum and danced like a gentle sea water wave. Then, she kicked the air and a large arc-like came out, carrying the power of the universe towards Demure.

Demure did the same pattern, but activated 150 swords this time to be his protection. He thought that it would be enough to deter this attack useless.

"Crash!" However, the attack easily got through his 150 swords and broke it in a matter of a second which alarmed Demure.

"Boom! Boom!" Two explosions resounded as the attack came in contact with Demure. However, after a few seconds, it could be seen that he wasn't injured even in the slightest that even a small scratch wasn't present.

"Even that attack didn't work?" Syni Su now realized how powerful Demure was. In all honesty, that kick contained half of her qi. So, she expected a favorable outcome. However, it wasn't what she thought would happen, "Are you toying with me?"

She couldn't help but curse under her breath.

"That one nice kick you made, Little Princess of Su Family." Demure praised the lady, "Though too bad, it isn't effective still."

---

"You bastard." On the other side, Karshias cursed loudly as he caught his breath, "I changed my mind. I'm going to torture you until you beg for forgiveness on me. I'm not going to let you die until you do!"

Karshias' mind was clouded with rage and all he could think of was to take his revenge. On his part, this was an utter humiliation that only killing Jin Rou in a most despairing state could be erased.

"With your body, do you think you can last long?" Jin Rou smiled coldly and spoke, "You are all talk and no bark. Feeling so entitled just because of a cheap power."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, let me clarify one thing. No matter what, be it successful or failure, you all will never leave this place alive. I mean, this universe."

With those words, Jin Rou smirked.

Karshias didn't mind what Jin Rou said and focused on rapidly healing his injuries. He needed to stall for a little more time so that he could fight once again.

"Boom!" However, Jin Rou wasn't dumb to let him be. So, he gave the devil a hard kick on the face that made him roll several times on the ground.

A/N:

I'm sorry for the late upload. Our region has currently suffered from a destructive Super Typhoon Roly (Goni) and I'm still trying to recuperate since the power is out. Rest assured that I'll be uploading chapters as best as I can.

Yours, Brei.
