Ssssh... In the blink of an eye, the icy droplets that had solidified turned towards Feng Yi from Mengdie's direction.
Feng Yi's pupils rapidly contracted and dilated. Although there were many droplets, they didn't seem forceful, hence he decided to test their power with his body for later strategic adjustment.
Pfft, pfft... Two consecutive ice needles grazed past him, slicing open his skin, but the third one, it caught him. Oddly, he didn't feel any particular pain. It seems that a normal physique can't handle ice needles. While it isn't powerful, it can still pose a fatal threat within 200 meters.
At that moment, Mengdie made her move, leaping towards him. Her speed was astonishingly fast, so fast it caught Feng Yi off guard. But he could evade it. In fact, Feng Yi felt that she was slower than Sky Shadow, but there was something off...
Through the hazy fog, he noticed an anomaly. It wasn't anything specific, but the very space itself had completely transformed. Or perhaps, it had lost its color ever since Mengdie planted those baffling markers, plunging the world into a serene state of tranquility. Could this be...
Indeed, Mengdie's actions weren't quick. She stretched out her delicate hand as though intending to tap his heart lightly, which provoked a sense of alarm in Feng Yi.
Why was his body warning him of danger? Coincidence? He was in a virtual environment, yet it felt incredibly real. For one moment, Feng Yi felt like dodging, and the next second he tried to do just that.
Unfortunately, his attempt failed. In an instant, his body was bound by some mysterious force that left him immobile. Accompanied by the emergence of a storm stance, the unknown binding force ebbs away.
However, his body's intuition told him that Mengdie's slender finger had indeed lightly touched his heart. It wasn't heavy, not painful nor itchy. Her finger was smooth and soft, carrying a tint of chill.
Luckily, the very moment she touched him, Mengdie's attack was countered by the Storm Stance. As the violent wind lashed out, Mengdie staggered... It was clear that her frail body couldn't withstand the violent wind currents. At this point, the surrounding area around Feng Yi was torn apart by the storm currents, from the ground to the towering trees, as though they were being cut with a thousand knives.
The colorless surroundings also exhibited ripples under the chaotic storm, either in a state of disorder or an alternating display of colors. However, the appearing colors were quickly swallowed up by an unknown order, returning the world to a grey space.
Everything seemed to lose its original color, except for Mengdie who was the only luminous entity in the world, surrounded by fluttering butterflies....
On the outside, the crowd showed various expressions. Some were chatting, others laughing, and even the four star commentators were expressing their opinions. The terrifying thing was, everyone was frozen as if dead. Seemed like the structure of this space had changed...
Mengdie, light as a feather, sprung back into attack. This time she directly leaped and stretched her delicate hand towards Feng Yi's heart, launching the same attack... two consecutive attacks on the same spot compelled Feng Yi to pay close attention. He knitted his brow, in the nick of time stretched his hand and caught Mengdie's wrist, stopping it from advancing any further.
"You must be planning something."
Upon hearing this, Mengdie earnestly nodded. Her neutral expression looked quite genuine, then with a small force, she moved closer to Feng Yi's heart.
Seeing this, Feng Yi added more strength. With Mengdie's power, there was no way she could overpower him, yet she restrained him in this environment, "Interesting," Feng Yi said with apparent resentment, but inside, he was surprised by her strength.
Mengdie's lips curved into a smug smile, as if to say, keep it coming, keep pretending to be strong, keep causing each other pain.
Feng Yi felt a bead of sweat on his face, startling himself. He had already exerted 90% of his strength, but his opponent still seemed to have plenty in reserve. He truly couldn't underestimate this Mengdie.
Whoosh...
Feng Yi's eyes held a rare heaviness as a gentle breeze suddenly spread from his body, stirring up a slither of fine sand and a swirl of wilted leaves. The leaves eventually fell into his palm, and he instantly stabilized his state to the Blank Paper Realm. Much like a grain of sand or a pebble represents a whole universe, or a leaf symbolizes a paradise, these elements represent the microcosm's flowers and the macrocosm's changes. Within the six paths, any matter is a microcosmic state of the great thousand worlds, and the microcosmic things precisely reflect the ever-changing great thousand worlds. Existence is both reasonable and needlessly fixated on form.
Whoosh! A whirlwind quickly spread outwards from the two warriors in the battlefield. Feng Yi swiftly pushed Mengdie's slender hand back again. Despite the action appearing slow, it was smoothly executed as if bestowed by nature.
Mengdie slightly widened her eyes and exhibited a hint of a different emotion, flexing her wrist almost rubbing around Feng Yi's finger and pointing at the same spot again.....
At this moment, everyone, including the commentator, was somewhat baffled... Revenge Shadow Rider and Mengdie didn't seem to be battling fiercely but rather gently pushing hands. The specific reason was clear only to the devil himself, but one thing was sure, this situation was unusual. The previously intertwined duo had now abruptly stopped moving.
Every time Mengdie's fingernail was about to touch Revenge Shadow Rider's heart, it would somehow be masterfully pushed away in due time.
The seemingly simplistic action of gentle pointing somehow contained an unfathomable mystery. The performance was slow, calm, serene, and graceful, much like a divine hand targeting Revenge Shadow Rider's heart inevitably. Yet at the last moment, it would always be evaded or conveniently pushed away.
Time ticks away... People seemed not to notice, the seemingly ordinary game of pushing hands appeared to freeze in eternity…
But that was not the case. As time passed, Feng Yi felt increasingly unable to withstand the pressure. Mengdie's strength kept increasing… As if intending to gradually exert the weight of a thousand pounds on this final straw.
"Roar!"
With a roar, an intense momentary expansion occurred in the space surrounding the Revenge Shadow Rider. Under the absolute domain realm, the ground seemed to form a two-dimensional plane due to its roar, and every cell of Feng Yi, under the effect of the Intermediate Legendary Realm, activated simultaneously.
It was not until Revenge Shadow Rider emitted a million units of energy that everyone diverted their gaze, sighing in relief. For an unknown reason, their gaze seemed to be locked and unable to move away. Looking at the time, a full five minutes had passed. It felt like both an instant and an endlessly long frozen moment. What on earth was going on?
Feng Yi also sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected that even after entering the Blank Paper Realm, he was unable to completely push Mengdie away. In the end, he had no choice but to explode million units of combat power to shatter the bond completely.
He had no idea how to counter Mengdie's weird moves. However, he was certain that the Blank Paper Realm had some effect on these moves. He just couldn't find the knack and so didn't know how to respond.
However, Mengdie did not want to reveal more of her cards, nor did he want to expose his million combat power. As the saying goes, the lesser the force used, the more effective it would be. He already experienced the potency of Mengdie's weird moves, and he estimated that under the effect of a million units of combat power, those weird moves would hardly have any effect.
To defeat him, eventually, both absolute power and speed were needed. A psychological suggestion similar to Illusion Technique would have little effect on a battle-hardened warrior.
The exchange between the two seemingly happened in a flash, and at the same time, it felt like ages. Until now, each spectator wasn't sure how long they had been watching the battle. While it seemed to happen in an instant, the sweat-drenched body of Revenge Shadow Rider constantly emphasized one fact—it was not the case.
