Chapter 1312: Chapter 1313: Talent Does Not Guarantee Longevity

The Rank-A Player did not answer him and with overwhelming force pushed him aside. With a wave of his hand, all the objects on the nearby street floated and shot toward him.

Xu Huo pulled out several Spatial Barriers in the air, blocking the attack. He moved to the right to avoid the Mental Portal that appeared on the left, only to realize that the first portal opened by the old man was merely a feint, as he himself blocked the way on the right!

Both opened their Spiritual World, and amidst the mixed Psychic Power, it was impossible to say who was suppressing whom. It all came down to who could use their Evolutionary Power better.

The distance between them was initially short, and with a step forward and backward, they clashed in the blink of an eye. The old man stomped his foot, and the stone tiles on the ground quickly cracked, twisted, and pulled up into several sharp spikes aimed at Xu Huo in the middle!

The Black Blade glowed coldly, sweeping across to knock away three spikes, clearing a path as Xu Huo moved to a building five hundred meters away. As his foot touched the ground, he took a quick step back to avoid the suddenly appearing Rank-A Player.

But this retreat was clearly not enough to shake off his opponent, whose speed was incredibly fast, likely augmented by an acceleration prop or characteristic, making it almost impossible to follow with the naked eye. However, Xu Huo turned in place, standing the Black Blade upright in front of him!

"Clang!!!" The collision of two sharp weapons emitted a thin metallic sound. Xu Huo was at a disadvantage in strength and was forced to retreat under the interaction. Yet, this time the Rank-A Player did not offer him a chance to flee; his figure almost turned into a pale flash of light, surrounding Xu Huo, constantly changing the angle of attack, launching no less than twenty-five attacks in just ten seconds!

The 360-degree attack with no dead angles turned the area within thirty meters around Xu Huo into a place swept by a storm of sharp blades. There was no chance of passing through, and any object accidentally caught inside would be shredded by the Sword Qi, so even the old man who had come to help did not intervene.

But after more than twenty consecutive attacks, Xu Huo still stood in place.

"He is not an ordinary player; at least a Super Evolver of both spirit and space. Don’t think about leaving him alive, just kill him!" The old man instructed.

"Boom!" As his words fell, the Rank-A Player had already crashed into Xu Huo’s Defensive Barrier and pushed them both into the building behind. Following two more booms, they maintained their stances, crashing through two buildings before stopping hundreds of meters away.

The "Unassailable Territory" lost its effect, and "Kitty Grants You Three Lives" tilted Xu Huo’s body sideways, completely avoiding the Rank-A Player’s sword.

The Sword Qi diagonal cut the opposite building. When the Rank-A Player turned his head, Xu Huo had already vanished into the Mental Portal that appeared on the ground with his original stance.

Several library buildings rose from the ground, not only isolating the Rank-A Player but also locking the approaching old man inside a ring-shaped room.

"Trivial tricks!" The old man, having largely grasped Xu Huo’s overall strength, paid no attention to the continuously moving walls. Instead, he drew a circle on the ground with his foot. This was different from the previous Mental Portal he opened, yet he directly evaded the library building, emerging outside through a spatial passage within the Spiritual World.

As he emerged, the Rank-A Player also violently broke through a building, jumping onto an adjacent structure. One high, one low, they cooperated to confine Xu Huo within a certain range.

Xu Huo hadn’t gone far; he stood on a nearby lamppost, his figure quickly obscured by the successive eruptions of library buildings around him.

During the moment the sightline was blocked, the old man sealed his own Spiritual World. Then, the Rank-A Player sliced in place, extending a sword light over a hundred meters, cutting the entire space in half, including the nearby buildings and the old man’s lock zone!

The neat cut did not immediately deform the surrounding buildings, but the library buildings, symbolizing Xu Huo’s spiritual power, sank along their original path, as if about to sink into a nonexistent underground, and Xu Huo, who should have been in the lock zone, disappeared. Meanwhile, numerous portals floated in the air.

The old man’s expression slightly changed, and he nodded at the Rank-A Player from afar. Subsequently, white flames ignited in his Spiritual World—though they looked like flames, they had no temperature and couldn’t actually burn anything. However, they quickly spread across the ground and could burn directly into the air, gradually linking all the portals in the space.

"There!" He suddenly pointed to one of the portals, and the ready Rank-A Player flashed to the front of the portal, not giving the person behind it any chance to exit, directly stabbing through the door!

Feedback from the sword confirmed it hit something, but the sensation was not like that of a person. At this moment, two long knives thrust out from inside the door, crossing to tear the portal open and shaking off the Rank-A Player’s sword!

A flash of shock passed across the Rank-A Player’s face, only to see a two-meter-tall Mechanical Being burst through the door, charging at him with astonishing speed!

"Bang!!!" The clash of dual knives and sword sent a shower of sparks, pushing the Rank-A Player back several steps under the pressure of the Mechanical Being. At the same time, two more arms with identical knives appeared behind the Mechanical Being, chopping down!

The Rank-A Player’s eyes darkened as he immediately retreated, but at that moment, an eye pattern appeared under his feet, like a living eye that moved beneath him and swallowed half of his leg like a mouth.

It wasn’t difficult to escape the interference of spiritual power, but just as he had shaken off the Mechanical Being for less than a second, it quickly caught up, raising its long knives to chop at the prop sword in the Rank-A Player’s hand like it was slicing meat.

"Don’t tangle with mechanical props!" The distant old man opened a portal beneath the Mechanical Being, intending to send it away, but suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head. He turned sharply, seeing the Black Blade coming straight at his eyes—the Defense Prop blocked this strike.

Looking at the sharp blade so close, a layer of sweat formed on the old man’s back. His gaze fell on Xu Huo, and after the initial fear, came a strong killing intent: "No wonder you could kill Han Yi. In terms of Spirit Evolution, you’re a prodigy."

"But young people shouldn’t be too arrogant. Having talent doesn’t guarantee a long life!"

The white flames that had just disappeared flared up vigorously, burning away all the portals in the air while also trapping Xu Huo. The old man clapped his hands, and with a "snap," the street surface that rose from nothing whipped together like two belts!

Xu Huo, caught in the middle like cream in a cookie sandwich, quickly rose into the air as the stone tiles crumbled away. When "Death of the Holder" flew out, Xu Huo had moved to the back of the old man.

"Death of the Holder" had always been an unreliable ambush prop for Xu Huo, claiming a 90% success rate, which seemed to leave him with the remaining unsuccessful 10%. But this time, it didn’t fail; the black Metal Bead shot straight through the old man’s Defensive Barrier, entering his forehead and exiting through the back of his head!

"Is he really dead?" Xu Huo paused as he watched the old man fall.
