Outside Of Time

”The similarity the Star Flame God said shouldnʼt be referring to danger. Itʼs also impossible for me to make Her feel danger. Then, putting this point aside, the so-called similarity… should be aura, perception, or appearance.”

Amidst the rain, Xu Qing suddenly stopped in his tracks. His expression darkened and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He raised his head and gazed at the path in front of him.

This was a long street. The houses on both sides were tall and short, and each of them was pitch-black. Only the raindrops landed on the eaves, emitting a crisp sound. When they landed on the ground, they piled up into small puddles that were continuously merging.

Lightning flashed, illuminating everything, even the wind.

The wind was originally invisible but in the heavy rain, the rain drenched the invisible body of the wind, revealing it. It tilted toward Xu Qing and rushed toward him.

Amidst the cold and humidity, there was a hint of sharpness that transformed into knives hidden in the wind and rain that suddenly passed in front of Xu Qing.

The instant they got close, a spiky staff that was like a demon-

subduing staff instantly flew out of Xu Qingʼs storage bag. Among the three heads, the eyes of the Diamond Sectʼs ancestor widened in anger as it let out a shout and headed straight for the wind in front of Xu Qing.

Its speed was so fast that it surpassed the wind and rain. In an instant, the sound of collision echoed in the wind. Long blades formed by the rain broke and rolled back, collapsing.

As for the demon-subduing staff, its speed didnʼt decrease as it rapidly transferred around Xu Qing. After a series of clanking sounds spread out, the rain became even heavier. When it landed on the ground, countless small puddles on the ground gathered together and became complete, like a lake.

The rules of this place were also completely changed at this moment.

The surroundings were hazy and blurry. Only lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and the lake water under Xu Qingʼs feet rose rapidly, as though it wanted to drown him.

What was even more astonishing was that in the waves of the lake around Xu Qing, the shape of a palm appeared. It was rising from the bottom of the lake, wanting to grab Xu Qing.

Further away, figures manifested in the rain one after another. Their appearances couldnʼt be seen clearly and they were like water lifeforms, rushing toward Xu Qing from all directions.

Every one of them emitted intense killing intent.

The pitch-black houses on both sides also changed at this moment. They turned into black bald statues sitting cross-

legged. They each unlocked their eyes and let out sinister and bizarre sounds.

”Hear the decree of the Ghost Fiend, you lonely soul. The eight divisions of ghosts decree: those with grievances in life shall perish, those without heads shall live. The wind descends with deadly blades, the water overflows, and life hangs by a thread. Resolve grievances to find peace, injustice leads to ruin. Kneel before our altar, and let your life lose its light before the Eight Trigrams!ʼ”
