Chapter 547 Retrospective Time!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Then, it flowed backward!

Fang Yue's shattered internal organs, along with his frantically burning lifespan, rapidly flowed back, restoring themselves to their original state.

The blood flowing from his seven orifices flowed backward, returning to his body.

"You?!"

The Fifth Prince immediately noticed the abnormality of the person beneath his feet. Just as he was about to increase his strength and directly stomp Fang Yue to death...

*Bang!*

Violent black gas suddenly erupted from Fang Yue's body, instantly blasting the Fifth Prince away.

When the Fifth Prince landed and looked towards Fang Yue, he saw Fang Yue, who should have been dead, slowly rising from the ground with his eyes closed, his entire body enveloped in black gas, a single black wing, a dozen meters long, unfurling behind him.

And the Wu Yu clan mark on his chest was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if time was flowing backward, erasing its existence.

When all of this was completed, Fang Yue slowly opened his eyes, which were flowing with black blood, and looked at the Fifth Prince in the distance.

"Now, let's start the second round!"

*Buzz!*

Almost the instant Fang Yue finished speaking, an unknown, illusory character suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yue.

[Su!!] (Speed!!)

"That's... the power of ancient words?!"

The Fifth Prince's expression changed.

This was the biggest reaction he had shown since the battle with Fang Yue began!

Almost at the instant the ancient word disappeared into the air, Fang Yue vanished.

The Fifth Prince's pupils contracted violently on the spot.

Where?!

Where!!

His spirit was highly concentrated, and the power of his Inner Demon erupted, flowing around his body.

The flow of time around him instantly slowed down.

Then, he saw it.

He saw a black line, a straight black line.

Under his ability, under that slow flow of time, it was still approaching at an inhuman speed, rapidly shuttling from Fang Yue's previous position!

As if sensing something, accompanied by the illusory ancient word reappearing, the black line actually underwent a second acceleration in that state!!

Impossible! What speed is that!!

With the blessing of absolute speed, it was no longer a black line, but a stream of light, a black stream of light flowing against the flow of time!

At the instant the Fifth Prince desperately gathered his Demonic power, focusing it on his arms for defense.

*Clang!*

The black blade, like a magical weapon that cut through iron like mud, accurately slashed across his armguards!

[Li!] (Strength!)

A moment of pause.

The black blade cut through the black bone armguards like tofu, cutting through the Fifth Prince's arms, severing his hand bones, smoothly detaching his front limbs, and slashing at his chest!

But the Fifth Prince was already retreating, exploding backward like a lizard shedding its tail to save its life!

Black blood splattered high into the air, and as his severed limbs flew up, the Fifth Prince had already retreated a hundred meters away, staring in horror at the human shrouded in black gas in front of him, whose exact appearance was almost impossible to make out.

There was a horizontal sword wound on his chest, the wound was shocking, so deep that bone could be seen, almost cutting him in half, and black blood was flowing from it.

But the Fifth Prince had no time to pay attention to his injuries, because he... had underestimated the strength of this human!

"This child is capable of killing me!"

Ancient words were a very special specialization. Not to mention that there was no way to acquire a cultivation path in this day and age, the difficulty of cultivation alone meant that no one could cultivate to the Yu level!

And that rich black gas, which was impossible to ignore, was very similar to their Demonic power, as if they were from the same source, friend and foe alike.

As the Fifth Prince watched, unexpectedly, that human didn't make any movements, but just stared at him from a distance.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince?!"

"Protect Your Highness the Fifth Prince!!"

"A mere human dares to injure the holy body of Your Highness the Fifth Prince!!"

The black worm demons on the ground who had been shot down by Captain Wu and were still alive, all exclaimed in shock and ran towards them.

Only one of the one-eyed black worm demons rolled its eyes and quietly retreated.

As the black worm demons surrounded them, a piercing phoenix cry suddenly came from above!

Accompanied by a golden light as dazzling as the sun, Captain Wu's scattered body fragments finally completed their fusion and resurrection in mid-air!

Opening his eyes and glancing down, Captain Wu immediately shouted, "Captain Ye, I'll help you!"

With a golden phoenix phantom floating behind him, Captain Wu charged into the black worm demons, and as the golden light lit up, a chaotic battle immediately broke out.

And Fang Yue, at this moment, had just regained control of his body.

[Phew... I barely managed to suppress it. Don't always let cute Paper do this kind of thing. She has to lend you strength and help you suppress the side effects. Paper is very tired! So tired!]

"Just a little longer... with the next move, I'll destroy it!"

Fang Yue said in his heart.

Just now, after Fang Yue used the power of the parchment and stopped here, he immediately discovered that his body had frozen.

As if some kind of qualitative change had occurred in his body, his limbs actually showed a tendency to turn into the texture of parchment.

If it weren't for the black gas concealing it, he suspected that the Fifth Prince would have discovered it and attacked immediately.

Looking at his slightly atrophied hands, the muscles in his arms were a strange paper color, and Fang Yue's heart sank.

The parchment was becoming more and more powerful, and the side effects of using it were becoming more and more obvious.

The parchment's original statement was wrong. It wasn't that one could control it without side effects upon reaching the Yu level, but rather... one had to surpass it to truly use it!

Otherwise, the closer one got to its limit and the more one borrowed its power, the closer one got to the cliff abyss, and could fall at any time!

This was... playing with fire!

But he had to play!

He might still be able to rely on the Empty Ice Sword Manual and the power of the Demonic Spiritual Root to suppress and entangle ordinary Yu level cultivators.

But the Inner Demon in front of him was clearly not an ordinary Yu level Inner Demon. If divided by strength, he was at least at the mid-level among Yu level cultivators!

As Fang Yue thought of this, he noticed that the wounds on the Fifth Prince's severed limbs suddenly oozed something like foam, wriggling strangely and slowly condensing into the shape of hands.

"He can regenerate severed limbs... as expected!"

Narrowing his eyes, just as he was about to attack, the Fifth Prince suddenly disappeared.

The Fifth Prince had performed this trick many times, but this time, it was a little different.

"Still World!"

The raindrops of the Night Rain fell madly, gradually slowing down until... they stopped!

The surrounding scenery, moving people, and things were all gradually changing at a slow speed.

And in this still world, there was a rapidly moving figure charging straight towards Fang Yue, but his face was filled with astonishment and shock.

That was none other than the Fifth Prince, who had used his ability.

The corners of Fang Yue's mouth curled up in a cold smile.

"As expected, we are... the same type of Demonic ability!"
