âHan Sen, look where you are.â Shadow Ghost raised the Wanjie Rubix Cube that was in his hand. The stream from the Rubix cube was still running. Han Sen could see the video, which showed him caught in the screen of Shadow Ghostâs camera.
Han Senâs heart leaped at the sight, and so he quickly tried to fly out of the cameraâs frame. He kept an eye on the Rubix cubeâs stream as he flew, but he soon realized that no matter what direction he flew, there would be no escape from that place. The video stream showed that he was always dead center of the cameraâs screen.
âIt is useless! In my shadow area, you are just an image. And if I rip this image, your body will be torn just like it,â Shadow Ghost boasted. Then he damaged a corner of the image that showed a bit of Han Senâs hair.
The moment the image of Han Senâs hair was damaged, Han Senâs actual hair was given a trim. He didnât know how it had happened, but there was nothing he could do to prevent it.
The people that were watching the stream felt a chill. They knew Shadow Ghost could enter virtual images, but they didnât know he had a power like this.
Everyone felt a chill. If Shadow Ghost trapped them in a picture, killing them would be as simple as damaging a camera.
Some of the deified elites who were watching the video nodded in approval. They were impressed with Shadow Ghostâs might.
âDonât worry. Iâm not going to kill you.â Another creepy smile crossed Shadow Ghostâs face. âYouâre worth more alive. Iâm going to take you with me to the Extreme King. You might be my best chance of becoming deified.â
Han Sen was looking at Shadow Ghost, who was outside the image, with an expressionless face. He said, âDo you really think you can capture me this way?â
Shadow Ghost replied with confidence, saying, âMy area has no limiting range. Furthermore, you are just a King. Even if you were deified, you couldnât escape the boundaries of my area.â
âReally?â Han Sen said. His left eye then flashed with a red light, and his body turned into a red shadow.
âWhere is he?â Shadow Ghostâs face changed. Han Sen had disappeared from the picture.
âWhere is he?â The people who were watching the stream were shocked, too. They hadnât seen how Han Sen had managed to get out of the pictureâs frame.
âArgh!â Shadow Ghostâs sudden scream drew everyoneâs attention back to him.
One of Shadow Ghostâs eyes was bleeding. It seemed as if some scary power had penetrated his eye and sent a jolt of pain straight to his brain.
Han Sen was standing behind Shadow Ghost. His Thunder God Spike was dripping with blood.
âNext time you want to kill me, donât talk so much crap.â Han Sen swung the Thunder God Spike, flicking away the blood. He took the Wanjie Rubix Cube and flew away without looking back.
Shadow Ghostâs body fell through the emptiness of space. It appeared like he had been killed.
Every noble watching the video stared in mute silence. Shadow Ghost was a nightmarish enemy, but he had been one-hit-killed. The viewers were having difficulty wrapping their heads around the idea.
Most of the Kings, Dukes, and nobles were unable to discern just how Han Sen had managed to kill Shadow Ghost, though. That was what scared the audience the most.
Someone who had just become a King had managed to kill a half-deified warrior as quickly as they might kill a chicken or a cow. It was hard to believe.
The video stream suddenly went black. The spectacle was over. Many of the viewers were still reeling from the shock, though. They hadnât yet figured out how to react.
Han Sen turned off the Wanjie Rubix Cube and flew forward. He wanted to take a look at the items Shadow Ghost and Barr had been carrying, but he didnât have time.
A scary presence was coming this way. Han Sen could sense that if it wasnât a deified elite coming for him, then it was a very terrifying half-deified being. It was most likely someone that he couldnât compete with on his own.
Of course, not long after Han Sen flew away, a shadow appeared where Han Sen had been. That person looked at the dead Shadow Ghost and the frozen Barr. He waved his hand, bringing out a swordlight. He used it to break Han Senâs ice, freeing Barr and the others.
Once Barr and Thunder were freed, they caught sight of the new man and began to tremble.
âLando!â Shadow, from the race of the Storm, screamed. He looked frightened.
âWere you guys fighting Han Sen?â the person called Lando asked, his voice stern.
âYes,â Shadow answered. He was very scared of Lando, but he still answered truthfully.
After hearing Shadowâs answer, Lando chased after Han Sen, his body moving so fast that the space around him seemed to groan.
âI canât believe Lando is here. No matter how strong Han Sen is, that is one opponent that he wonât be able to escape.â Thunder finished his statement with a very long sigh.
âThe traitor that the Dragons hate the most. The Inverse Dragon Lando might not be deified, but he has killed enough of them. And they were deified Dragons, of all things. A guy like him canât be dealt with by a King.â Shadowâs mood had mellowed somewhat.
âThere are many elites in this universe, and there are many half-deified elites. But the scariest half-deified in existence has to be Lando,â Thunder said. After a moment of thought, he went on to say, âAlthough the half-deifieds of the Extreme King are powerful, this guy could fight an entire generation of them. If I had to pick an enemy, I would prefer to choose a half-deified of the Extreme King over Lando. Lando is just too evil.â
Even Barr looked shaken. He wasnât scared of anything, and he would go anywhere. But aside from deified elites, there were two people he feared: the Inverse Dragon Lando and Yu Shanxin of Sky Palace.
If it was anyone else, heâd chase them down to the ends of the universe. Either that or heâd kill the person right where they were. But after seeing Lando, Barr had yet to say a single word. He just watched Lando go after Han Sen. He didnât dare follow.
âHan Sen is dead,â Barr said to himself. Then, he flew out of the Tianxia System. He no longer planned to chase Han Sen.
Han Sen flew through the clouds at full speed. He kept changing direction, and he erased his scent and trail as he fled. But still, he couldnât shake the entity chasing him from behind.
Han Sen could also feel that whatever was pursuing him was gaining. The gap between them was closing.
When Han Sen finally reached the edge of the purple clouds, he saw someone emerge from the clouds behind it. The being was coming his way, and it was coming fast.
âOne of the Dragon?â Han Sen murmured. The manâs Dragon horns were particularly large, but he didnât have wings. He looked like a Dragon hybrid.
