This move surprised her. It’s not like there were no secret techniques like what Alex did. But usually, it was only done by evil or demonic cultivators. And each of them gave out a peculiar feeling, one that she didn’t feel from Alex.

Her body reappeared a few steps back, but at that moment, the kong’s fist fell down to her face. It was like the kong already knew she would move to that location.

The punch hit its target but was stopped by invisible energy an inch away from her face. The woman’s lips curled into a smile, “Interesting,” she mumbled.

Her hand moved forward, creating a slap motion that resulted in half of the kong’s body being destroyed to smithereens.

At this moment, Alex already appeared right in front of her, his whole body now covered in blood-like armor. When the immortal confronted the kong, his head had already regenerated, while the blood in the air moved to her body instead, keeping its target.

The crimson blood then solidified, turning into armor, making Alex look like a crimson knight with two blood wings.

Holding a hammer in his hand, he slammed it straight at the immortal’s torso.

BANG! The ground cracked, shockwaves exploded, but the immortal remained unflinched.

Just like the kong’s attack, it stopped an inch away from her body.

Alex stomped his feet into the ground, creating knockback power to take a step back while the lizard was now rushing toward her location.

However, the woman didn’t let Alex go; she moved normally without any hurry, but the speed was not something that Alex could dodge.

His hand was grasped by the immortal, “Got you.”

“No, you don’t,” Alex replied. His hand and the hammer exploded at that instant.

The blood splattered all over the air, beginning to move and contort into runes. It then activated, effectively hindering the immortal’s senses.

This time, her expression changed to worry. She didn’t know what this rune was, but she could guess it worked just like a formation array.

Someone who could use formation instantly right in the middle of battle was not something she could underestimate.

‘I need to take this more seriously,’ she thought.

Qi started swirling around the area and gathered at the immortal. Continue reading at empire

Seeing this, Alex said, “Not so easy.”

Half of the rune symbols shot in all directions, stopping mid-air. Creating a circular zone around the immortal. It then glowed in blinding light, and what happened next made the immortal frown.

All the qi in the area was sucked dry, turning into a barren field.

The immortal finally started exerting her own qi. A fan appeared in her hand, and she simply flapped it forward, creating deadly ice spikes that shot toward the rune symbols.

The spike might look simple, but Alex knew it was not something to be underestimated. The energy contained in that one spike was more than enough to freeze a whole ocean.

The immortal’s body turned to icy mist, then appeared right behind Alex. She didn’t waste any time. She closed the fan, then used it like a short stick, hitting toward Alex’s head.

Slash! A vertical line appeared from his forehead all the way down his body, effectively splitting him in two. The ground where he stood also got split.

This time, the immortal proceeded forward, her qi sweeping past Alex’s body, turning him into an ice sculpture. Alex could feel a sharp pain all over his body, seeping straight to his soul.

It didn’t just freeze his body and qi but also affected his soul. A quality of ice that he never thought possible. Despite what his body felt, his mind was still calculating and sending out orders.

The ape punched his hand toward the ground, picked it up, creating a huge boulder, then threw it at the immortal. Right now, his body has already completely regenerated.

Meanwhile, the lizard had already reached the immortal; it swiped its tail toward her. She didn’t even make a move as the tail got destroyed before it could even come close.

It turned into ice and shattered. The fog started coming out from the wound as it regenerated a new tail.

Smoke then started rising up from Alex’s frozen body. The immortal frowned once more, “The hell is this junior? Absurd.”

She disappeared again from where she stood as Alex’s body exploded in a spherical flame.

The immortal skeptically looked at the explosion. She had seen how Alex’s qi gathered at his core and then exploded.

This was not something that even evil or demonic cultivators could survive from, except they had already become immortal like her.

But she still felt this was not the end.

Swoosh!

Many boiling blood drops moved through the air, turning into something like sharp tentacles. They shot toward the immortal.

She swiped her hand up in the air, raising an ice wall from the ground.

The tentacles stabbed through but failed to completely pierce it. Instead, they started freezing before being cut halfway by Alex.

From the explosion, Alex’s body reappeared, still perfectly intact. His blood armor didn’t even have a single scratch on it.

This didn’t mean Alex didn’t take any damage; he used many lifeforce to regenerate and repair the armor. The expenditure was huge as he used it in large amounts to speed up the regeneration.

The tentacles returned, becoming part of his wings.

“You are an outsider like him. What do you want here?” the immortal asked.

She had already guessed Alex was one since the start, but she didn’t say anything since she felt she could easily subdue Alex.

But now, seeing how he fought, she started getting skeptical she could subdue him easily. She could put in more effort, but she was too lazy to do it.

‘Even exploding himself didn’t leave any scars on his body. How many more times can he regenerate?’ The immortal asked herself as she didn’t know Alex’s lifeforce energy.

“I want to meet the other outsider inside.”
