Whoosh!!
Roy's figure swiftly twisted his neck to the side avoiding the old man’s fist. At the same time, he raised his hand and suddenly swung it towards the old man.
BANG!!
Perhaps because the force behind it was so enormous, everywhere Roy’s fist passed, numerous fluctuations that were visible to the eye had appeared in the air, and it emanated a sharp sound from the air being torn apart.
!!
Suddenly, a savage expression appeared abruptly in the old man’s eyes, and he held the halberd in his hand before suddenly slashing towards Roy's incoming fist.
The halberd and fist collided with each other, and an explosion resounded.
BOOMM!!! Boom!! BOOMM!!!
They were exchanging blows nonstop. Many huge craters were formed every few meters.
Originally, this was an impossible feat for a fist to collide directly with a halberd and comes out intact, unless one possess a higher cultivation base to be able to overwhelm the enemy's attack momentum, reducing the power that being generated. Even so, the sheer power and hardness of the weapon would still be able to penetrate the defense enough for an expert to refrain from doing so.
"F*ck this brat!" the old man's speed didn’t reduce while he instantly arrived before Roy with his halberd in hand.
After that, under Roy’s indifferent gaze, the halberd swung swiftly towards his right and left legs!
SLASH!! SLASH!
"Mirage Step!"
The old man silently moved to change his direction while creating afterimages that were awfully flawless, ones that looked identical to him.
His speed was multiplied many times over.
It was too difficult to discern which one was the real body. Since the execution of this technique was not merely passively mimicking the user's true body movement but much more profound than that, involving one's mind perception and spiritual consciousness to maintain. Therefore, each clone-like afterimage moved exuberantly as if had its own consciousness.

This kind of flawless execution was only viable to those who have mastered the technique to perfection!

At such a close distance and coupled with the old man’s sudden charge, Roy was utterly not in time to dodge or block the attack, and he could only watch as the halberd stabbed on his chest.
Numerous attacks hit him savagely.
BANG!!! BANG!!
BANG!!
The old man’s halberd stabbed at Roy’s chest, yet a clear and resounding sound of collision resounded, and then the old man’s figure retreated by over 2 steps.
The young man also pulled back a few step, he wasn't completely uninjured.
The geezer's strikes were so fast and heavy that he found himself in a pinch as soon as the fight broke out, each one of the geezer's attacks was fatal and full of killing intent. Not to mention the unusual halberd he was wielding contained a trace of ancient power.
The old guy frowned when he noticed the halberd actually hadn’t pierced into Roy’s chest, and he didn’t pursue Roy and simply only looked at the black-clothed young man’s chest instead.
He saw that a layer of silver light was ceaselessly flickering beneath the black clothed man’s clothes!
'He’s wearing armor?'
'What a strange armor! It could actually disperse my spiritual qi!'
'The moment my attacks hit him not only did my momentum got halved, but my energy was also diffused into thin air!'
'What the f*ck is this monster!!'
When he thought up to here, the old man’s eyes narrowed while the Spiritual Qi in his body surged. He had a solemn expression, and he knew that he’d underestimated the young man.
“I admit that I underestimated you slightly. However, I’ll tell you right now, I’m going to get serious!” the geezer gazed at Roy while the spiritual qi within his body circulated slowly, and as his profound energy poured ceaselessly into his halberd. The halberd actually started trembling slightly at this moment.
He recited a certain technique softly under his breath, causing a red flame to rise from the halberd.
However, despite having his hands directly inside this dangerous-looking red flame, the old man could only feel a comfortable warm feeling, almost like his hands were wrapped in a soft blanket.
“!!?”
The young man showed an intrigued expression for the first time since the battle began, when he noticed the light fluctuations being emanated from the geezer’s halberd. His eyes flickered a dangerous glint.
The geezer made a set of strange movements causing the flames to appear even hotter and fiercer, like flames from the deepest part of hell.
The air completely stopped flowing as the surroundings grew crimson with the ever-increasing heat. It was as if the nearby area had been plunged into a hellish purgatory.
Once the halberd was entirely engulfed in flames, the geezer's eyes flickered with a profound light, and his arms swung the sword horizontally.
"Scorching Flame Strike!"
As soon as his voice resounded, numerous strands of crimson flames shot out explosively towards Roy from the tip of the halberd.
The red flames scattered from the halberd and an enormous arc of flames flew towards Roy.
Roy's expression was as cool as a cucumber amidst the enormous arc of flames that radiated a massive amount of energy speeding his way.
BOOM !!
The scorching flames crashed into his body, then expanded and engulfed his entire figure.
BOOM!! BOOOOOM!!
However, the arc of flames did not only stop at the young man's figure and continued to fly into the distance until it collided with the mountain range behind him.
BOOBOMM!! ^_^
The moment the arc of flames touched the mountain range, it turned everything it touched into dust, instantly disintegrating a dozen large mountains with ease.
After destroying a dozen mountains, the arc of flames traveled for a few more miles before disappearing into thin air.
Whooosh!
SSShhh!!
By the time the arc of flames disappeared, abruptly, a purple light shot forward. This purple light tore through the sky in a flash and traveled through space with enough power to cut down all the beings.
Wuusshhhh!
In the blink of an eye, within the boundary of hundreds of meters across, every creature felt an unbeatable ancient monstrous pressure. Within this moment, countless existences trembled.
