It took another step, Tang Xian, Xuanniao, Bai Shuang—all of them felt a terrifying pressure the moment the judge took that step.
This substantial pressure forced Tang Xian, Bai Shuang, and Xuanniao to their knees, as if a mountain were bearing down upon them.
This wasn’t any special technique; the judge simply used telekinesis to apply pressure.
It wasn’t particularly adept at telekinesis, it was just demonstrating that it was no longer on the verge of death, now possessing enough power to destroy heavens and earth.
Even utilizing its weakest aspect was more than enough to kill any rebels with ease.
At the third step, the judge had already determined that all of this was merely Bai Shuang’s sleight of hand; it wanted to avoid prolonged nightmares and decided to kill Tang Xian and Bai Shuang.
As the third step was about to fall, Tang Xian’s heart rose and fell sharply.
He thought he was truly about to die, with that terrible pressure, which increased manifold as the judge approached.
But then he glanced at Bai Shuang.
Although she too was in pain, her antlers twisted by the force of the telekinesis and her expression far from calm, the indifference in her eyes remained.
The judge’s step did not fall, after all.
Because as it stepped down, a rainbow light overflowed from the cave behind Bai Shuang.
This light, full of various colors, did not seem very fast, but the mighty judge couldn’t avoid it.
After the rainbow light, the judge was returned to the position where it had been before taking the three steps.
That terrifying storm had also disappeared.
Tang Xian, Bai Shuang, and Xuanniao, though retaining the memories of that moment, felt as though their bodies had gone through no battle whatsoever.
The judge, for the first time, was truly terrified:
[How can you possibly still be alive?]
The person in the cave did not respond.
Because as soon as a word was uttered, the severity of their injuries would be revealed.
To produce the desired effect of the Empty Fort Strategy, you need a distrustful opponent.
The judge was suspicious, but that alone wasn’t enough—it needed both pretense and reality.
Tang Xian was an actor, but was Bai Shuang not?
At this moment, Bai Shuang informed Tang Xian that she wasn’t only superior in cooking; her acting skills were no less impressive.
[My master was gravely injured hundreds of years ago and should have died, but the power of time reversal allowed it to return to a state of near death.
Have you ever found it strange, looking at this city that has been desolate for hundreds of years, that it remains as pristine as ever?]
The judge naturally thought of the answer.
Bai Shuang continued to speak:
[My master suffered severe injuries and always knew that you were the traitor.
However, its injuries were too severe for it to come after you.]
Tang Xian understood, realizing that boasting about being in prime health and at his peak would be seen through by the judge.
It was more credible to do the opposite.
The judge indeed hesitated.
Bai Shuang then said:
[My master’s injuries have only slightly healed after hundreds of years and have never fully recovered.
Yet now, to deal with you, it doesn’t even need to show itself to restrain you.
You play with this human, but you also know that once you give him enough time, you will know the consequences.
And my master has plenty of time.]
The judge stepped back, exclaiming in shock:
[Milky Way, if you are not dead, come out and see me!]
Tang Xian slowly stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and laughed:
“So the divine order you spoke of, it wasn’t me, but the person in the cave?
No wonder you said it was dead, yet you wouldn’t let me see for myself.”
Tang Xian’s seemingly disruptive comment only deepened the judge’s fear.
“How much has its injury recovered?”
[Thirty percent.] Bai Shuang said.
“But the judge has recovered at least sixty percent.”
Tang Xian was worried, the collaboration between these two great actors seemed like a genuine analysis of the odds of winning this battle.
Bai Shuang said:
[Aside from my master, you, me, Xuanniao, and everyone in Baichuan City are enough to make up for the missing thirty percent.]
The rainbow light dyed the heaven and earth into myriad colors, brilliantly vibrant.
The Milky Way did not come out to see the judge, and in this peak state, the space-time domain that was cast instilled fear and trembling in the judge’s heart.
Within this domain, all the karmic markings on Tang Xian and Bai Shuang vanished.
Xuanniao’s feathers grew stronger, and Tang Xian could feel his vitality gradually increasing.
Fear and apprehension filled the judge’s eyes as its injuries worsened bit by bit.
In the time reversal domain, the physical state of all beings within it would retrograde with time.
Painful sorrow filled Bai Shuang’s heart as it was silently saying farewell to Milky Way.
But her expression remained calm, her centuries of loneliness insufficient to shake her resolve, thus the judge saw no signs to suspect anything.
Thus, the battle that had filled Tang Xian with despair ended at the moment the rainbow light was at its most splendid and expansive.
The Battle of Baichuan, where two apocalyptic creatures clashed in an instant, had its victor.
The judge decisively fled, having experienced such tactics, no longer harboring doubts, without the slightest hesitation.
Only when the judge’s scent was completely absent from the air did Tang Xian linger no longer, saying:
“It’s gone; it must have returned to the mining area.”
Bai Shuang let out a sorrowful deer cry, and in its eyes, there was no longer a hint of calm, only boundless grief.
Following this cry of the deer, the sky full of rainbow light disappeared. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Only the pitch-black night remained, and an atmosphere of utter stillness.
This was Tang Xian’s seventh day, a day in which he witnessed the descent of an apocalypse and also saw the final downfall of an apocalyptic power.
