In that fleeting moment, a ray of light illuminated the entire Stars Room.
Under the Giant’s violent and fierce fist, Fang Li suddenly swung an extremely fast blade.
The blade light gleamed in space.
“Swoosh!”
Like a graceful moon arc, the blade swept across the Giant’s body, passing through its front and emerging from its back, it was as if the blade had splitted the Giant in half, leaving a vicious gash behind.
“Whoosh!”
The powerful wind from the Giant’s massive fist brushed against Fang Li’s body, causing his bangs to fly upwards from the impact. However, the heavy punch suddenly stopped without any warning just before reaching Fang Li’s face.
The Giant’s figure froze in place and it was as if time had come to a standstill.
Fang Li maintained his blade-wielding posture, standing before the Giant’s fist.
Time seemed to stop.
In Fang Li’s eyes, the ice-blue Mystic Eyes quietly faded away.
It wasn’t until after a while that time seemed to resume in the Stars Room.
However, the only entity showing movement was the Giant.
“Crack!”
With a crisp sound, the Giant’s body was severed at the waist, like a mirror sliced in perfect synchronization. The lower half remained standing in place, while the upper half fell heavily to the ground.
“BOOM!”
With the heavy sound, a burst of dust was thrown up as the upper half of the Giant crashed to the ground. It spread out in all directions along with the shockwave.
Before this happened, Fang Li had already leaped away from his original spot, evading the falling upper half of the Giant and the incoming shockwave. He landed in a corner of the Stars Room.
“Is it over like this?” Fang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just at that moment, the entire space of the Stars Room suddenly twisted.
The distortion lasted only a split second. But after it ended, two figures appeared in front of the bisected Giant.
They were none other than Fan Xinglou and Zhao Hufeng.
However, their reactions were entirely different.
Zhao Hufeng gazed at the bisected Giant, looking as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing, displaying an incredulous expression.
In contrast, Fan Xinglou stared intensely at Fang Li, her eyes glittering with an unprecedented brightness.
Under Fan Xinglou’s unwavering gaze, Fang Li felt the air around him grow heavy, making it difficult to breathe.
However, Fang Li understood.
This sudden appearance of the Giant was entirely orchestrated by Fan Xinglou as a sparring partner for him.
Before Fang Li could speak, Fan Xinglou began, her voice still as cute and innocent as ever.
“Did you just use some unique technique?”
But in this moment, Fan Xinglou’s voice was filled with joy.
It was the emotion born from the thrill of the hunt.
Clearly, Fang Li’s recent performance had ignited Fan Xinglou’s desire for battle like never before.
In other words, Fang Li had ignited Fan Xinglou’s fighting intent.
Under these circumstances, Fan Xinglou’s intense gaze, glittering with a bright light that seemed capable of piercing through the very core of one’s being, remained firmly fixed on Fang Li’s body.
Facing such a gaze from Fan Xinglou, anyone would likely feel pressure, wouldn’t they?
However, Fang Li was quite the opposite.
The more perilous the situation, the cooler Fang Li tended to remain.
Because, the greater the danger, the closer Fang Li believed he was to death.
Unfortunately, that was the factor Fang Li feared the least.
So, Fang Li disregarded Fan Xinglou’s heated gaze filled with the thrill of the hunt and replied calmly, “I haven’t used any unique techniques.”
Surprisingly, it was not Fan Xinglou but Zhao Hufeng who reacted first.
“You’re lying!” Zhao Hufeng’s emotions flared as he exclaimed, “Without using any unique techniques, it’s impossible for you to simply cut Master’s Immortal Tool into two pieces with a dagger!”
How could Fan Xinglou’s crafted Immortal Tool be so easily destroyed?
At least, Zhao Hufeng believed that even if he were to engage in a full-powered battle, it would take considerable effort to wear down the Giant, let alone defeat it with a single strike.
Within Jie Long, apart from Fan Xinglou, the only other person capable of defeating the Giant in a single blow was probably Wu Xiaofei.
Could Fang Li match up to Wu Xiaofei?
The answer was a resounding no.
“Indeed, your speed is astonishing, and your martial arts skills are exceptional,” Zhao Hufeng remarked, “But your attacks are far from enough to defeat Master’s Immortal Tool in one strike. You must have used some kind of spell.”
Hearing this, Fang Li smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned, and replied, “Senior Brother, you’ve got it wrong. I really didn’t use any spells; it’s just that my eyes are a bit special.”
“Special eyes?” Zhao Hufeng was immediately puzzled.
“Oh?” Fan Xinglou’s eyes lit up as she asked, “Could it be that you possess some kind of unique Eye Technique?”
In this world, there were occasional individuals gifted with extraordinary eye abilities.
Some could see distant scenes.
Some could perceive the depths of a person’s heart.
Some could observe the flow of Mana within objects.
Some could detect minute changes in human muscles, even the movements of living organisms at the cellular level.
It was said that these talents began to emerge in this world due to the influence of Mana. Some were born with these abilities, while others awakened them later in life. Without a doubt, they were all quite extraordinary.
Therefore, Fang Li had nothing to hide and truthfully replied, “Yes, my eyes can see the weaknesses in all things and bypass their defenses to directly attack those vulnerabilities, forcing my opponents to fall.”
“Seeing the weaknesses in all things?” Fan Xinglou’s eyes grew increasingly intense, and shortly afterward, she smiled happily and said, “No, it’s not that simple. What you see is not just the weaknesses in all things, but the ultimate cause of death in all things. It doesn’t bypass defenses, but processes. As long as it hits, it can unconditionally lead the opponent to death. It’s what we call the Mystic Eyes, fascinating, truly fascinating!”
Fan Xinglou’s words left Fang Li somewhat astonished. He hadn’t expected that Fan Xinglou could perceive the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to this extent with just a hint of its abilities.
Indeed, Fan Xinglou was an Immortal who had lived for thousands of years. Unlike Sherlock’s nearly precognitive deductions, this was an example of perceiving this ability through extraordinary eyesight, terrifying experience, and astonishing martial arts proficiency.
On the other side, Zhao Hufeng felt a chill running down his spine.
“Master!” The look on Zhao Hufeng’s face tensed, and he looked at Fang Li with different eyes. “This person is just too dangerous!”
