The sudden appearance of the eye before her gave Wan Jing an extremely intense feeling of discomfort. Her pupils constricted, trying as hard as possible to adapt to the sensation, but the environment around her didn't seem to settle, twisting unnaturally along with her unease. This strange power was clearly very similar to the Sequence Force of Judgment that the Judgment Chief had displayed before. Yet, the bizarre feeling released by the eye was completely different from the grand and imposing aura of the Judgment Chief. Wan Jing's eyelids twitched incessantly. Although the situation was somewhat eerie and she was a bit nervous, her actions did not cease.

A Sixth Tier top expert was not someone those weaklings could compare to. She couldn't possibly be like those Third and Fourth Tier nobodies who were frightened by a mere glance from Lu Luo. Moreover, Wan Jing had just experienced the Judgment Chief's Judgment Sequence. She couldn't fully adapt to the oppressive sensation Lu Luo brought, but she had no problem resisting it with her own willpower.

"No matter what kind of monstrosity you are, anyone who blocks my way shall die!" Wan Jing's five fingers formed a knife-hand, and she thrust it towards the eye before her.

SQUELCH!

Brilliant red blood splattered everywhere. It seemed her strike had truly pierced the eye of some creature. Even the air seemed to emit a kind of wail.

After she pierced the eyeball, the distorted and eerie space did not disappear; the blood tainted the air, as if polluting its very color. The colors surrounding Wan Jing began to fade, first turning the world gray and white. Then, everything around her gradually turned red!

"What's happening?" Wan Jing suddenly turned her head to look towards Qi Xinzhu, but aside from Qi Xinzhu's sword, there was no trace of her to be found. "She got away again!"

The sturdy Wan Jing held her sword in one hand. In a moment of contemplation, she slashed towards her right. An eye that had just opened in the air was split in two. The scattered fluids and blood once again contaminated the surroundings, painting the environment not just red, but adding a touch of black as well. The mutation of the environment made Wan Jing's expression even uglier.

"Whatever you are, you will die here today!" Wan Jing did not panic because of the environmental change; she was already one of the four leaders of the Knights Group of the Church. Apart from Seventh Tier experts, she was among the strongest in this world! In the Inner Ring, aside from Seventh Tier masters, there was hardly anyone who could stop a top Sixth Tier expert like Wan Jing. And she herself was truly just one step away from the Seventh Tier. So, something like the Observer's Eye, which many considered a bizarre and powerful force, simply couldn't stop an expert like Wan Jing!

"Continue! Let me see just what level your Sequence Force truly is!" Wan Jing gripped her longsword tightly, a grand aura continuously bursting forth from her.

「On the other side.」

Lu Luo was running quickly towards Qi Xinzhu's location, leaving Zhang Yifan's car far behind. He wasn't quite sure when he started feeling that Qi Xinzhu was in danger, but the feeling was very clear. That was why, even from a distance, he had tried to use his Observer's Eye. Luckily, he had acted in time and managed to delay Wan Jing. Otherwise, Qi Xinzhu would have truly been in danger just now.

From the information gathered through the Observer's Eye, Wan Jing was likely the strongest enemy he was currently facing head-on. A Sixth Tier top leader of the Knights Group of the Church! Such status and strength... Heh! I hope you won't disappoint me!

Wan Jing, still within the red illusion, once again shattered several eyeballs. She had already sensed that something was amiss. It seemed the enemy had no intention of a fight to the death with her; were they trying to stall her by not appearing for so long?

"Radiance!" Wan Jing concentrated Holy Radiance onto her longsword. Since the enemy was reluctant to appear, she no longer wanted to waste time there. She had already wasted enough time trying to catch Qi Xinzhu.

"Break!"

Wan Jing swung her sword, unleashing a force of Holy Radiance several, even ten times more powerful than Guan Zhi's, within Lu Luo's Thousand-Eye Space.

CRACKLE!

A grating, distorting sound echoed around, and at last, the red space tore open a crack, revealing the normal world to Wan Jing once more.

The strength is indeed quite high, but, heh! Just as Wan Jing was about to leave, a tentacle suddenly appeared beside her. This tentacle, unlike the Observer's Eye, was covered with sharp barbs and various strange mouthparts.

SLASH!

Wan Jing cut through the tentacle with her sword, and the thick tentacle immediately rotted away before her eyes.

As she was about to step forward to investigate, a greatsword suddenly thrust through the crack she had just created, aimed straight at Wan Jing's chest.

CLANG!

The tremendous force directly repelled Wan Jing, sending her staggering back many steps before she could stop. However, the owner of the greatsword did not appear, and the crack slowly closed after the strike. Wan Jing was somewhat stunned and uncertain. The force of that strike was quite formidable!

While Wan Jing hesitated, Lu Luo's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"You are Wan Jing!"

"Behind me? When?" Wan Jing turned around in surprise to see Lu Luo standing there, holding an unconscious Qi Xinzhu.

Logically, Qi Xinzhu was seriously injured, and he shouldn't have dragged her into the fight between him and Wan Jing. But the current environment was too special. In the Inner Ring, apart from Bai Yuetong, he had no one and nothing left to trust. So at this moment, he had no choice but to involve Qi Xinzhu once again.

Qi Xinzhu's abdominal wound had not yet healed. If it weren't for her weakened state, she, being a Healer, would not have allowed such a wound to remain. Lu Luo tenderly caressed Qi Xinzhu's abdominal wound, his heart aching. Although his expression was cold, his heart harbored an unprecedented killing intent. No one had ever hurt Qi Xinzhu like this! If Qi Xinzhu weren't a Healer, and if her Constitution hadn't reached over 150, nearing 160, would she have died here?

Wan Jing, on the other side, looked at Lu Luo, first with confusion, then with disbelief. However, in the end, she composed herself.

"Lu Luo, I've seen your photo. It's hard to imagine someone as young as you possessing such strength. No wonder Qi Xinzhu and Bai Yuetong are fond of someone like you!"

Lu Luo looked at Wan Jing and shook his head slightly. "When Qi Xinzhu and Bai Yuetong took a liking to me, I was still quite inexperienced. Don't measure others by your standards. The capacity of many people is far greater than yours, ugly woman!"

Ugly woman? Wan Jing subconsciously looked at her body—the corded muscles, the dry hair; she looked like a lunatic. The battle form of the Knight of Evil was meant to be like this, but the term 'ugly woman' was something she found hard to accept.

"Lu Luo, if your strength is as shallow as your words, then you can only die here today."

Lu Luo did not look at Wan Jing further, instead taking a moment to tidy Qi Xinzhu's clothes and tend to her wounds. Then, he controlled a tentacle without barbs to transport Qi Xinzhu far away. He needed a sufficiently safe distance to deal with this Sixth Tier top expert.

After all this, Lu Luo turned his head towards Wan Jing. "You shouldn't have hurt her like this."

His tone was very flat. Looking at Lu Luo in this calm state, Wan Jing somehow thought of Bai Qingshuang, who was equally nonchalant. The two of them are really similar!

"This space, is it your Sequence Force? Although it's very distinctive, unfortunately, your control over the Sequence is too superficial!" Wan Jing suddenly charged forward. Before her charge, all her information had already fallen into Lu Luo's eyes.

[Wan Jing, Sixth Tier top Transcendent, Holy Radiance Holy Knight. Abilities: Holy Radiance (Sixth Tier), Dark Energy (Sixth Tier), Knight of Evil's Holy Radiance (Sixth Tier), Death's Holy Radiance (Sixth Tier).

Sequence A-112 Near-Death Outburst: In a near-death state, will temporarily become immune to fatal attacks and unleash an Outburst of power, doubling original strength for 1 minute.

Attributes: Strength 151, Agility 125, Constitution 100.]

This time, the Observer's information was unprecedentedly detailed, as if it knew Lu Luo was set on killing Wan Jing. But this information also put a great deal of pressure on Lu Luo. Wan Jing's attributes were extremely powerful. Although her base attribute values were not high, her energy levels were astoundingly strong. She had trained all the energy she could cultivate to the extreme! With the enhancement of energy intensity, the gap in attributes wasn't that significant anymore!

"Very well, then bring it on!" Lu Luo held the Fenrir Type VI, and the steam from its third gear suddenly erupted! He met Wan Jing's heavy sword with a strike of his own.

BOOM!

It was the collision between Qi He and Holy Radiance once again, but Lu Luo was already very experienced with this kind of clash. At the third gear level, with 200 strength, he could only fight Wan Jing, empowered by the Knight of Evil's Holy Radiance, to a draw! The power wielded by the Church was just outrageous!

"Impressive strength!" Wan Jing repelled Lu Luo, her heavy sword dancing wildly with the Knight of Evil's Holy Radiance. The clink and clang of metal striking metal rang out in front of Lu Luo! His hair flew about, and a few strands of his eyebrows and hair were sheared off by the fierce Sword Qi. The sharp killing intent kept eroding the surrounding air, seeming to make even this strange red space grow drier.

Lu Luo retreated calmly, familiarizing himself as much as possible with the strength of this Sixth Tier top Transcendent. Although strong, this level of strength was still within his acceptable range.

"Alright, warm-up's over."

"Fourth Gear: Thunderstrike!"

CRACKLE!

White electricity coursed around Lu Luo's body, the activating power of the current increasing his speed by two tiers all at once. And the impact force brought on by the speed allowed Lu Luo to completely overpower Wan Jing in terms of attack strength.

CLANG!

The Fenrir pressed down on Wan Jing's heavy sword. Wan Jing, a Sixth Tier expert, was actually forced down by Lu Luo, unable to straighten her back.

"Your power?"

Lu Luo stopped talking. His eyes moved slightly, and black-purple runes gradually appeared around his body. This was not hidden, so Wan Jing, standing before him, saw it as well. Wan Jing felt a strong unease, but she didn't know where Lu Luo's next attack would come from! Distraction prevented her from concentrating her power to oppose Lu Luo's heavy sword; the blade of the Fenrir was already pressing on Wan Jing's shoulder. The violent Sword Qi had already shattered her collarbone.

Wan Jing's left hand suddenly clenched into a fist as a blackish-gray Holy Radiance coalesced once more. This was the Life Knights Group's forbidden power, Death's Holy Radiance. With the addition of this third type of Holy Radiance, Wan Jing became stronger than before, gradually pushing away the Fenrir greatsword that weighed down on her shoulder.

Death, Bloom!

The blackish-gray Holy Radiance on Wan Jing's left side was like a dark gray rose. This rose, symbolizing death, suddenly bloomed on Lu Luo's chest.

BANG!

To Wan Jing's surprise, facing such a tyrannical attack, Lu Luo showed no intention of dodging. Her fingers had indeed pierced Lu Luo's chest, sending flesh and blood flying. But the process of piercing was not at all pleasant. As Wan Jing's fingers, wreathed in Holy Radiance, pierced Lu Luo's chest, they were actually scraped raw by his muscles. The moment she pierced Lu Luo's rib, her own fingers fractured! And now, Lu Luo's ribs had completely trapped Wan Jing's arm. Although their strength in this state was about the same, it was clear that Wan Jing had no way of breaking free from Lu Luo's control!

"Are all of you from the Fourth Ring so barbaric in your combat?"

Lu Luo remained silent. It wasn't that the combat methods of the Fourth Ring were barbaric; his combat method was barbaric. He would never dodge damage he could withstand! Lu Luo's left hand had already grasped Wan Jing's left hand, completely controlling her in front of him.

Wan Jing originally thought Lu Luo was going to use his sword to chop off her arm, but looking at his Fenrir greatsword, he seemed to have no such intention. But if Lu Luo wasn't going to cut off her arm, why was he holding onto her so tightly?

"Let go!" The Holy Radiance on Wan Jing's body grew stronger and stronger as she desperately tried to push Lu Luo away. But no matter how she unleashed her Holy Radiance, Lu Luo before her didn't yield in the slightest. Moreover, Wan Jing discovered that the muscles in Lu Luo's chest were actually tightening, growing ever tighter. Her left hand, which could still move moments ago, was now completely immobilized. Lu Luo's chest was still bleeding profusely, and Wan Jing grew increasingly uneasy.

"Lu Luo, what's the point in us continuing this deadlock? You're already injured. If we keep this up, you'll only get weaker," Wan Jing said.

"Ugly woman, you talk too much!"

"Huh?"

The symbols in Lu Luo's pupils were still rotating incessantly, until finally, like a fully wound mechanical device. When the rotation of Lu Luo's pupils stopped, the Sequence Force within him burst forth!

Numerous tentacles grew from the air, the ground, walls—from every conceivable place. These tentacles, armed with the sharpest spikes, thrust towards Wan Jing beside Lu Luo. The tentacles carried Lu Luo's Sequence Force and Qi He, distorting everything around them while also possessing formidable piercing power.

Wan Jing watched this scene in horror. How similar was this to the Judgment Chief's Domain of Decision? But that was Domain power belonging to the Judgment Chief!

"What is this of yours?"

Wan Jing's question finally piqued Lu Luo's interest enough to respond. After developing this move, he hadn't had many opportunities to test or practice it. Now, Wan Jing was his perfect test subject!

"Oh? This one? It's called the 'Devouring World Core.' Though it's a basic version, it already has some power. But I prefer its other name: 'The Demon of a Thousand Tentacles.'"
