BOOM!
The entire third shelter seemed to be quaking with each devastating explosion.
If the sanctuaries were constructed exactly like normal planets, then the ecosystem would have collapsed due to their battle.
Executioner White wasn't like Green, who had died hundreds of times to master his opponent's moves.
He was learning in real time with each death.
Sadly, the group he was facing was more unpredictable than he thought.
It was as if they had prepared thousands of moves to be used in tango ahead of time.
No matter how fast he was learning from them, he never seemed to be on top.
At least, this was the illusion their battle gave off.
In actuality, Executioner White was winning with each second that passed.
Every explosion drained their strength, and as the seconds ticked by, Han Yan's fusion became more and more unstable.
He knew Han Yan was the only one who could delay him in this fight. That was why he didn't find it weird that they were taking extra measures to protect her.
He just didn't know why she would attack him up close when she could do the same from afar.
"Not like it'll matter in the end."
Executioner White attacked Man Tian with an explosive fist.
Bian dashed towards him like an arrow, but his arm had already regenerated, and the two of them exchanged attacks.
Bian attacked with a fist infused with explosive Yang energy, while Executioner White sent two palms to his torso.
They both didn't bother to dodge and took the full force of each other's attack.
The two palms exploded in a small but concentrated manner, causing cracks to appear on Bian's torso.
The Explosive Yang fist collided with his head and blew it open like a watermelon.
Bian was sent flying like a comma, while Executioner White had already regenerated his skull and an eye.
He saw Han Yan coming from behind Bian and swinging her Diamond greatsword in a vertical motion.
You miscalculated the distance!
His body began glowing white, and his joy couldn't be greater.
Han Yan came close to attacking him, yet she actually engaged too early and was bound to miss.
Slowly, his joy changed to doubt in the next second.
The diamond greatsword was swung from bottom to top. The blade actually cut through the Perpetuity Halo, which was ethereal and untouchable.
It tore into the white aura and split it open from bottom to top, the tip of the blade missing his face by a hair's breadth.
Swoosh!
As the aura was cut open, the surrounding indigo aura acted up.
It flushed into the Perpetuity Halo and dispersed it, leaving Executioner White bare without any protection.
The shock on his face could not be hidden as he felt like he had been exposed to the world. He was utterly disgusted by that feeling of being bare, and even worse, he could sense his incoming death.
"Blade dance!"
Han Yan didn't begin spinning like a mini tornado, gaining distance as invisible karma blades struck Executioner White everywhere.
His head, legs, arms, chest.
Every part of him was cut open, forcefully stopping his explosion.
Before his brain could heal, it was cut again. Before his heart could regenerate, it was cut open again.
He didn't die, but the blades prevented him from healing.
"The time is now!"
Immediately after he saw Han Yan cut open the white aura, Man Tian jumped upwards and began running on air towards the Executioner.
Starlight filled his eyes as he used his strongest move.
Thunder clouds gathered, and lava erupted from the ground. The atmosphere got incredibly heavy, like the end of the world was approaching.
Man Tian, who stood in the sky at this moment, looked like a god who had come to enforce divine punishment.
He stretched back his right hand, and furious energy burst out of his palm.
"TIAN SKY STRIKE!"
Thunder rumbled with his voice as his palm was sent toward Executioner White.
The attack covered the skies and locked onto Executioner White. He knew he couldn't escape this attack.
He felt death approaching him and roared toward the heavens.
"BREAK SIX SKIES!"
Ignoring the constant damage from Han Yan, his palm went forward and exploded violently.
An explosion occurred, and unlike before, he used less mass to achieve more energy.
The force of this explosion was carried through the air in a palm shape and collided with the Tian Sky Strike.
The two palms collided, but their qualities could not be compared at all.
The Tian Sky Strike, which was aided by the world, directly suppressed Executioner White's palm attack.
Kaboom!
In the ensuing explosion, the Tian Sky Strike came out slightly weakened and pressed on toward Executioner White.
He really couldn't take it anymore. The constant slicing from the blades was driving him mad, and the Sky Strike came to finish him off.
But in the next second...
He disappeared with a flash of blue light and reappeared far away.
As he regenerated, he looked at Man Tian and Han Yan with lingering fear.
Man Tian's attack could actually suppress him to the point that he couldn't teleport for a while.
Han Yan was even scarier. Her attacks could cut through an aura that didn't physically exist.
Wasn't she more troublesome than the anomaly?
Ba-dum!
His heart skipped a beat.
Where is the anomaly?
As he turned back, he saw Bian rushing towards him at an unbelievable speed.
Bian didn't hold anything back and used all the strength he could with the three pillars active.
He was so fast that Executioner White could only see a blur approaching him.
As Bian ran, he leaned towards the ground, and the floor scattered into dust at his touch.
There was no better way to grow than through fighting.
He had opened the tenth gene lock of the Dongxuan Sutra and could see the sequence chain of the world through his eyes.
With a single touch, the sequence of the ground he was touching scattered into bits.
In less than a second, he was in front of Executioner White, and his palm flew towards his chest.
"Die!"
Executioner White watched in horror as the palm approached his chest.
He obviously saw what the palm did and knew it wasn't an ordinary attack.
"Time skip!"
His body turned invisible, and the palm passed through him.
Bian wasn't fazed. With the Emperical Aura, he kept up with the Executioner and kept his palm on him always.
Once the time skip was up, he would turn him to dust.
Man Tian and Han Yan were almost here as well.
It was the end for him. There was no chance to escape.
Just as Bian was thinking this, his expression suddenly turned extremely unsightly.
Time skip wore off, and his palm connected with Executioner White.
He could notice even the smallest detail, down to the molecules. With a disturbance to this sequence structure, Executioner White was disintegrated.
"Stay back!"
Bian yelled.
A small white substance was floating mid-air. It wasn't a physical substance, so Bian couldn't touch it.
The small aura expanded in an instant and contracted, forming Executioner White.
He had a smirk on his face. His feet exploded as he flew backward, avoiding Bian's palm and staying far away from Han Yan.
The Perpetuity Halo reappeared and coated him again, making him extremely comfortable.
"That was dangerous... I almost died. Haha!" Executioner White began laughing like a madman.
"What happened?" Man Tian asked in distress.
"It was the time skip. While he wasn't present in the Emperical Aura, the Perpetuity Halo had a chance to reform."
Bian looked grim as he explained.
They were running low on time, and even he was starting to feel the impacts on his energy reserves.
Things were not looking good; in fact, they might have to retreat to live and fight another day.
Executioner White stopped laughing and restrained himself.
Just now, at death's doorstep, his mastery of Break Six Skies took a huge leap he didn't dream of achieving.
This battle could be said to have been very beneficial to him.
It also made him extremely wary of Han Yan. He changed his priority from Bian to her.
"This is exactly why I wanted to finish these guys off earlier rather than later."
Executioner White mumbled to himself.
His opponents were too scary, and he wouldn't have peace of mind if he let them escape.
Just then, he saw that Bian's unwavering expression had subtly changed.
'Planning to retreat?'
His eyes glistened as the soles of his feet lit up and exploded, propelling him forward like a missile.
From this intricate move, it could be seen that his mastery of Break Six Skies had increased.
His palm surged forward, and an explosion was hurled toward the trio.
The three of them dodged in different directions.
Executioner White came towards Bian first.
He didn't bother dodging his attack and crazily sent a finger towards his abdomen, where cracks were forming.
The two exchanged attacks again, but Bian was sent flying with a deep hole present in his abdomen.
The concentrated explosion was like a pinpoint spear that penetrated through his defenses.
His attack disintegrated the Executioner, but he directly consumed the Perpetuity Halo and recovered in an instant.
"Bian!"
"Bian!"
Both Man Tian and Han Yan screamed out when they saw jade particles break off from his body.
"Do you have time to worry about him?"
