The eight Blood Demons completed their killing blow, instantly strangling the soon-to-arrive Divine Puppet in its cradle.
The Demonified Immortal Emperor unleashed his technique: "Secret Art! Gate of Time and Space!"
Instantly, he became immune to all damage.
When Ming Zhi Tian's killing blow arrived, he directly entered the void, rendering it useless!
Ming Zhi Tian froze, then a Gate of Time and Space opened behind him. It was so fast that he couldn't react, and was struck from behind by the Demon Soul's sword, a deep gash appearing on his bone!
"Ugh!..."
Ming Zhi Tian turned to counterattack, only to be rendered immune by the Demonified Immortal Emperor again.
He thought of something: "Yuan Yi...!"
"Sect Master!" Yuan Yi responded.
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Can your Sacred Divine Mechanical Puppet be reassembled? I need its spatial traversal ability."
Yuan Yi replied, "It's not completely ruined. It's possible, but it will take time."
Ming Zhi Tian frowned, not forgetting to scan his surroundings for ambushes, "How long will it take?"
Yuan Yi said, "Two hours, at the very least an hour and a half."
"An hour and a half?" That's three hours. Ming Zhi Tian felt helpless, "I'll try to stall him, you hurry."
"Alright." Yuan Yi immediately began collecting the wreckage of the Sacred Divine Mechanical Puppet and started reassembling it.
The Demonified Immortal Emperor didn't know what they were plotting, but in his arrogant nature, whatever they did would be futile!
The Gate of Time and Space opened again instantly, and the Demonified Immortal Emperor appeared beside Ming Zhi Tian, launching a surprise attack with his sword!
"Ugh!" Ming Zhi Tian was struck again. He had already been wounded eighteen times. Even though he was extremely careful, he still took hits.
While waiting for Yuan Yi, he was also constantly devising strategies and trying to dodge. Otherwise, no matter how well his "Divine An Long Life Art" could repair him, he would bleed out faster. And besides... he was also waiting for his second killing blow to recover and for an opportunity.
While his side was recovering, the Demonified Immortal Emperor was also recovering!
"Trying to recover?" Ming Zhi Tian taunted, "Come out! Aren't you very capable? If you dare, don't hide, come out and fight me!"
"Youthful arrogance leads to deep entrapment... eternal damnation!" The Demonified Immortal Emperor spoke first, then launched another surprise attack!
Again and again, Ming Zhi Tian was so accustomed to being ambushed that he had long seen through it, raising his sword to block! "Bang!"
Ming Zhi Tian was sent flying like a cannonball by the sword's imprint!
Although the Demonified Immortal Emperor was within the Gate of Time and Space, his strength did not decrease but increased. If this continued, while he was accumulating an opportunity, the Demonified Immortal Emperor would also be recovering. Both sides were waiting for a breakthrough!
Ming Zhi Tian suddenly realized that the Demonified Immortal Emperor's only weakness was that he couldn't cast spells within the Gate of Time and Space!
This gave him a chance to breathe, however insignificant, it was enough.
His only advantage was that the Demonified Immortal Emperor lacked immortal spiritual power and couldn't cast spells, whereas Ming Zhi Tian possessed the "Divine An Long Life Art" and had abundant immortal spiritual power, able to cast spells freely.
With his direction determined, Ming Zhi Tian stopped dodging and decided to engage head-on. Even if the Demonified Immortal Emperor hid within the Gate of Time and Space, rendering him immune to all damage, the best he could do now was protect himself and stall for time!
"Zhen Yue!"
"Shang Li!"
"Qing Rui!"
"Long Yi!"
"Qing Tun!"
"Wang Tian!"
Ming Zhi Tian raised his sword, focused his mind, and aimed at the Gate of Time and Space, unleashing the "Jing Hong Sword Strike!"
Though it was a single strike, it split into six! As the Demonified Immortal Emperor instantaneously shifted through six Gates of Time and Space, Ming Zhi Tian also instantly cast six gates!
Unfortunately, all were rendered immune. All attacks were futile.
But this was precisely the effect Ming Zhi Tian wanted. They were in a stalemate, with neither side gaining an advantage.
