"Wow! Going all out upon meeting! Not playing by the martial rules at all!"

Faced with the sudden Time Law attack launched by the mysterious and powerful Demon Venerable, Wang Zhifan remained utterly calm.

He did not even think of running away, but instead, his entire body radiated protective golden light, enduring the opponent’s Law onslaught as he rushed in for a direct punch!

In an instant, seeing the opponent unaffected after being hit by his Ultimate Skill: Demise Demon Light and still charging aggressively to his nose, the scholarly Demon Venerable was somewhat dumbfounded.

It found itself a bit confused by the current situation, its thoughts slightly struggling to keep up.

Because in all its past experiences, any opponent struck by its proudly Ultimate Skill: Demise Demon Light would directly wither or fall into a heavily damaged state, with destiny controlled by it.

However, the person before it showed no signs of being washed by time’s power; not only did the person’s breath not weaken significantly, there wasn’t even the slightest hint of decline, leaving the scholarly Demon Venerable incredulous.

But Demon Venerable is, after all, Demon Venerable. When Wang Zhifan’s fist, bursting with golden light, was about to slam into its face, it responded in time, using Spatial Movement Ability to leap dozens of yards to the side to avoid damage.

"Didn’t use Time Stop ability? Does it suspect I can counter Time Law?"

Wang Zhifan never expected he could land a direct punch on this enemy, and him choosing to attack with Infinite Golden Body Skill punches instead of using a blade said a lot.

In a flash, sensing the enemy had spatially shifted to the distant side, he chose to pursue rapidly.

Almost simultaneously using the spatial traversal ability from a blank belt, his silhouette appeared behind the Demon Venerable.

The powerful golden fist continued its earlier motion, smoothly smashing towards the back of the scholarly Demon Venerable’s head.

The scholarly Demon Venerable’s sensing ability was equally superb; it immediately detected the enemy appearing behind it like a maggot that clings to bone, clearly mastering Space Law as well.

Moreover, this attack from the enemy was more dangerous than the previous frontal assault; even if it initiated another spatial move to flee, it couldn’t completely evade in time.

Thus, the scholarly Demon Venerable had to again resort to the Time Law it mastered, instantly halting everything around it, attempting to freeze Wang Zhifan who was attacking from behind.

"Here it comes! Let’s see who outlasts whom!"

Wang Zhifan had anticipated this, knowing the powerful Demon Venerable would undoubtedly use Time Freeze to defend, then fiercely counter him.

He could only rely on the trait of immortality from the Perfect’s supernatural ability, intending to test out who would falter first in this war of attrition.

To minimize any accidents during this endurance battle, he had already launched the strongest Infinite Golden Body Skill beforehand; now, radiant protective golden light enveloped him entirely, providing maximum protection.

But what he really wanted to protect wasn’t his flesh and blood, but the equipment on his body!

Because compared to bodily harm, he was even less willing to let the enemy seize his equipment during Time Stop—a reminder that the Wandering Dragon Jade Folding Fan of the Carefree Roaming Dragon is something he couldn’t ignore.

And the protective golden light combined with the Biological Force Field definitely offered some level of protection; as long as the enemy’s Time Stop wasn’t lasting for more than ten seconds, it likely couldn’t breach his outer defense.

This strategy also explained why he didn’t draw the Epic Layer weapon, Blade of Time against the enemy but instead chose to fight barehanded.

The reason being he didn’t want to give the enemy an opportunity to seize his weapon; as long as he didn’t draw his weapon, the opponent couldn’t possibly snatch it away!

Accompanied by the Demon Venerable’s use of Power of Laws to freeze the surroundings, the peripheral area of the small grove where Wang Zhifan was located instantly entered a state of suspension.

Whether it was leaves, branches, trunks, the birds perched on the trees, or the weeds growing at the base, they seemed to turn into a still painting, without the slightest movement or flutter.

Wang Zhifan sensed the situation surrounding him, confirmed he had entered Time Stop, preparing to brace for the coming assault.

But suddenly, he felt something was amiss, realizing his fist wrapped in protective golden light felt contact with something solid, observing the Demon Venerable’s figure before him was being struck forward—it was his punch landing a hit!

"How could I land a hit? Wasn’t I supposed to be stopped by Time Stop? No, if I were stopped by Time Stop, I wouldn’t have sensed the nearby trees entering a motionless state nor seen my fist hit the target!"

At that moment, both the scholarly Demon Venerable, who was struck by Wang Zhifan’s punch, felt stifled and Wang Zhifan himself was puzzled.

He had prepared to be stopped by Time Stop and receive a vicious attack; to his surprise, the opponent seemed to suddenly fall short, using Time Stop with seemingly no effect on him.

Strangely, he still sensed all the surrounding trees settling into the absolute freeze characteristic of Time Stop, indicating the opponent’s Time Stop power wasn’t fake!

Such a contradictory phenomenon left him baffled for a moment!

"Never mind! Seize the moment and blow up this enemy!"

Since he couldn’t figure it out, Wang Zhifan didn’t dwell on it, pressing forward toward the Demon Venerable who was knocked forward by his punch, intending to deliver several more heavy punches.

However, the Demon Venerable’s body was unquestionably beyond comparison to humans; although it appeared human-like, its essence was different, not severely injured by the previous attack.
