Chapter 468: Backtracking Slash

"Good fellow! He starts fighting as soon as we meet! He has no moral principles at all!"

Facing the sudden attack of the law of time launched by the mysterious and powerful Demon Lord in front of him, Wang Zhifan was not at all panicked.

He didn't even have the thought of running away. Instead, his whole body was emitting a protective golden light. He faced the enemy's law attack and punched directly at the enemy!
For a moment, the Scholar Demon Lord looked a little stunned when he saw that the opponent in front of him was hit by his unique skill, the Withering Magic Light, but was still able to rush to his nose as if nothing had happened.

It felt that it didn't quite understand the current situation and its mind was a little stuck.

Because in all its previous experiences, any opponent who was hit by its proud magic light of annihilation would, without exception, die of old age or become seriously disabled, leaving their fate at the mercy of it.

But the man in front of him showed no signs of being washed away by the power of time. After enduring the withering magic light, his aura not only weakened significantly, but there was not even the slightest sense of decline, which immediately made the Scholar Demon Lord feel unbelievable.

But the Demon Lord is the Demon Lord after all. When Wang Zhifan's punch filled with great power and golden light was about to hit it in the face, it reacted in time and used its spatial movement ability to move dozens of feet to the side to avoid damage.

"You didn't use your ability to stop time? Do you doubt that I can defy the laws of time?"

Wang Zhifan never expected that he could hit the enemy with one punch directly. Even the fact that he chose to use the boxing technique of Wuji Jinshen Gong instead of using a knife explained something.

In an instant, sensing that the enemy in front of him had moved to the far side, he chose to follow closely.

Almost simultaneously, he used the space-travel ability attached to the blank belt, and his figure appeared behind the Demon Lord.

The golden fist filled with great power continued with the previous action and smashed into the back of the Scholar Demon Lord's head very smoothly.

The Scholar Demon Lord's perception was equally outstanding, and he immediately spotted the enemy appearing behind him like a leech. It was obvious that the enemy also had mastered the power of the laws of space.

Moreover, the enemy's attack this time was more dangerous than the previous head-on assault. Even if it launched space movement again to escape, it would not be able to make it in time.

So the Scholar Demon Lord had to use the law of time that he mastered again to instantly stop everything around him and try to stop Wang Zhifan who was attacking from behind.

"Here we go! Let's see who can outlast the other!"

Wang Zhifan also made some predictions at the same time. He knew that this powerful Demon Lord would definitely use the power of time stillness to defend himself and then counterattack him fiercely.

He could only say that he had no better solution for this. The only thing he could rely on was the immortality of the Perfect One's supernatural power. He planned to try to fight a war of attrition with this enemy to see who would give up first.

In order to avoid any accidents in this war of attrition, he had already activated the Wuji Golden Body Technique with the maximum intensity in advance. At this moment, the dazzling golden light covering his whole body provided the greatest protection.

But what he wanted to protect mainly was not his flesh and blood, but the equipment on his body!

Because compared to physical injuries, he was more unwilling to have his equipment taken away by the enemy while time was stopped. Xiaoyao Youlong's jade folding fan was a reminder that could not be ignored.

The protective golden light plus the biological force field can definitely provide a certain degree of protection. As long as the enemy's time stop is not as long as ten seconds, it may not be able to break through the external defense around him.

This strategy also explains why he did not use the epic weapon, the Blade of Time, to fight the enemy, but instead chose to fight with his fists.

The reason is that he doesn't want to give the enemy the opportunity to take away his weapon. As long as he doesn't take out the weapon, the other party will definitely not be able to snatch it away!

As the Demon Lord used the power of the law of time to stop the surroundings, the edge of the grove where Wang Zhifan was instantly entered a frozen state.

Whether it is the leaves, branches, tree trunks, the birds perching on the trees, or the weeds growing at the foot of the trees, they all seem to have become still paintings, without the slightest movement or shaking.

Wang Zhifan sensed the situation around him, confirmed that he had entered a time-stop state, and prepared himself for the next beating.

But suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He found that his fist, which was wrapped in protective golden light, felt like it had hit a hard object. He saw the body of the Demon Lord with his back to him being knocked forward, which meant that his fist actually hit the target!
"How could I have hit the target? Wasn't time stopped? No! If time had stopped, I wouldn't have sensed that the trees around me had become still! I wouldn't have seen my fist hit the target!"

At this moment, not only did the Scholar Demon Lord who was knocked away by Wang Zhifan's punch feel a little aggrieved, but even Wang Zhifan himself was a little confused.

He had prepared himself to be stopped in time and then severely beaten, but the opponent seemed to have a sudden breakdown and the time-stopping ability seemed to have no effect on him.

And what's weird is that at this moment he can sense that all the surrounding trees have entered the absolute still state that symbolizes time stop, which means that the opponent's time stop power is not fake!

Such a contradictory phenomenon was difficult for him to understand for a while!

"It doesn't matter! Let's take this opportunity to blow up this enemy first!"

Since Wang Zhifan couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother about it. He kept rushing towards the Demon Lord who was hit on the back of the head by him and flew away, ready to reward him with a few more consecutive heavy punches.

However, the body of the Demon Lord is undoubtedly not comparable to that of a human. Although it looks like a human, its essence is different, and it was not seriously injured by the previous attack.

The demon recovered from its shock and anger in an instant, and used its teleportation ability to dodge the blow. This time, it teleported to a farther location, a thousand feet away!
"Haha...if you want to escape, just run away and disappear. Isn't it a bit too deliberate to let me sense it on purpose?"

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan immediately used his Qinggong skills to chase after him quickly, but he already had a prediction in his mind that this Demon Lord must be up to something evil.

As expected, when the demon turned and fled as if he was afraid of Wang Zhifan, Wang Zhifan suddenly sensed the fluctuation of the power of the law. Specifically, multiple space cracks suddenly appeared in front, behind, left and right of him! It seemed that he was about to be split into countless pieces!
Wang Zhifan can be said to be most familiar with the power of space laws in the form of cracks. After all, he has used the badge of the Lord of the Universe many times outside the copy in the past, and it can be regarded as a conventional law ability.

Therefore, he immediately activated the space movement skill to dodge, and moved in space several times in a row, releasing a clone every time he moved.

He skillfully controlled all his clones to cooperate with his original body to rush towards the opponent and try to surround it. While increasing the pressure on the opponent, his original body continuously entered and broke dreams to change positions in order to confuse the opponent and make it difficult for him to determine the position of his original body.

In the lightning-fast battle rhythm, this method is very effective. The enemy will inevitably fall into a disadvantage as long as they are not sure of a one-shot kill. Those with a bad mentality will easily become flustered and lose their composure.

"What a tough guy! He can resist my power of time and predict my sharp space blade! His clone technique is so amazing! The human race actually has such a master! I'd better retreat first and find out the details before fighting again!"

At this point in the fight between the two sides, the Scholar Demon Lord, who had suffered consecutive defeats, had already sensed that the situation was not good and began to consider retreating.

Since he came to the disaster zone, he has never encountered an opponent as difficult as Wang Zhifan. He could suppress all previous enemies with one move, or easily eliminate them with two moves at most, and he never felt any pressure.

But the man in front of him was very different, as if he was born to restrain him. No matter what he did, it was useless and fell into a disadvantage. Seeing that he was about to be beaten by him again, he didn't like to play against him, so he chose to fight another day and wait until he figured out a countermeasure before taking revenge.

On the other hand, Wang Zhifan’s mentality is completely different.

Although most of the battles he experienced were in advantageous situations, he also fought in disadvantageous situations.

Not to mention his previous battles in other copies, he had fought countless times in this battle to defend the Disaster Realm, with both great victories and defeats. His rich combat experience can be said to rank among the top cultivators in the Disaster Realm, otherwise he would not have been able to top the list.

Therefore, he is still full of fighting spirit and doesn't even consider running away. He continuously enters and breaks dreams to control his clones to surround the enemy while closely observing the opponent and thinking about the best strategy to take him down.

As for the enemy's intention to escape, he could of course vaguely judge that, or rather, it was not him who judged that the enemy wanted to escape, but he personally did not want it to escape!
Just as Wang Zhifan and his clones were continuously narrowing the encirclement and were about to engage in a fierce battle, the Scholar Demon Lord suddenly used the power of time again, making the time around him stand still.

It did this because it knew at the tavern that Wang Zhifan's clone did not have the ability to resist the power of time, and wanted to use this effect to directly confirm the location of Wang Zhifan's real body.

It turned out that this method was very effective. All the clones that entered the time-stop range immediately became motionless, except for Wang Zhifan himself who was not affected by the power of time-stop for some reason.

"Space Blade!"

The Demon Lord then launched the power of the law of space towards Wang Zhifan himself, seemingly wanting to kill him, but in fact he just wanted to force Wang Zhifan to retreat.

It understood that Wang Zhifan, who possessed the ability to move in space, was not afraid of this move. In order to successfully activate its long-distance space movement ability to escape, it had to guard against the risk of Wang Zhifan's sudden close attack.

After forcing Wang Zhifan to teleport away, it created multiple space cracks very close to him, as if it had created a dangerous cage for him.

Then, in this cage that was both dangerous and safe, it began to build up the power of the law for long-distance movement.

It planned to teleport directly to Xuanzhou, which was half of the disaster area away from here, and to the base camp of the demon army. In this way, even if this troublesome human had the teleportation ability of the Demon Sealed List, he would not dare to chase after it and die.

The Demon Realm army, which had been fighting for several months, had long known that the human cultivators possessed the Demon Sealed List. They had also figured out the function of the Demon Sealed List and had been trying to build a similar force belonging to the Demon Realm army.

At this moment, Wang Zhifan saw that the Scholar Demon Lord was "trapping himself in a cocoon", and sensed the power of the law of space flowing wildly through his body, and he immediately understood what he was thinking.

He quickly raised the epic Blade of Time that had appeared in his hand at some unknown time, and slashed out brilliant waves of dreamy sword light, attacking the Scholar Demon Lord who was about to escape in vain. However, all his attacks were blocked by the space cracks around the Scholar Demon Lord, making him seem a little frustrated and at a loss.

"Demon! Don't run away if you have the guts! Are you all cowardly rats? If you are a man, continue to fight me! Whoever runs away is a waste!"

Seeing that the Demon Lord was about to escape, Wang Zhifan could not attack him from a distance, and was blocked by the space cracks when he got close. He did not dare to teleport over at all, so he could only launch a verbal attack in an attempt to anger this powerful enemy.

But it was obvious that the Scholar Demon Lord was not a stupid person. When he saw Wang Zhifan cursing like that, he smiled instead and felt happy, secretly sighing that he had finally turned the game around.

"Ha ha……"

It only let out a mocking laugh, then stared at Wang Zhifan with a sinister look and said:
"You arrogant human boy, just wait! In a few days, I will come to find you again! I will kill you and your relatives one by one and make you food for my demon clan! Hahahaha!!!"

The demon then disappeared with a burst of laughter, and used the spatial power that had already been brewing to teleport to the distant Xuanzhou.

Of course, Wang Zhifan was not aware of this detail. He only knew that the other party had completely disappeared from his perception, and he was not sure where the other party had been teleported to.

Normally, such an outcome would be enough to annoy him, but he surprisingly did not show any anger at all. His expression was much calmer than when he was cursing the Demon Lord before, as if the previous scene of frustration was just a performance.

"One second."

Then Wang Zhifan was seen holding the Blade of Time, counting in his mind while walking towards the direction where the Demon Lord had just disappeared.

In that place, the numerous space cracks created by the Demon Lord before were still flickering fiercely.

"Two seconds."

He continued this strange counting behavior and came closer to the space crack.

"Three seconds."

"Four seconds."

He had already walked to the side of the space crack, and the space crack was showing signs of disappearing automatically due to losing the support of the power of laws.

……

"Seven seconds."

"Eight seconds."

When he counted to eight seconds, the space crack beside him had completely disappeared.

"Nine seconds...backtrack!"

Finally, when he counted to nine seconds, he activated the special skill of the Blade of Time in his hand, Backtrack!
This skill has only one function, which is to instantly pull the designated target back to the position up to ten seconds ago!
In an instant, the figure of the Scholar Demon Lord appeared beside his empty body!
The Scholar Demon Lord obviously did not expect such a bizarre thing to happen. The moment he appeared, he kept his mouth open and seemed to be talking to someone.

But Wang Zhifan naturally would not give it any time to react. He used the prepared Blade of Time to slash down mercilessly with all his strength, and even simultaneously activated another ability of the Blade of Time, time stop!

In an instant, the Scholar Demon Lord who liked to stop time for his enemies was completely frozen in place.

It seemed to want to fight against the power of the law of time, but the power of the epic equipment of the extraordinary game was not inferior to it in any way.

When it began to build up its resistance, the indestructible Blade of Time slashed through its head, turning it into a half-headed demon.
