While Shadowslash was having a hard time dealing with his enemy, Old man emerald have the opposite situation.
It seems that his enemy is great at burst attack and judging from how he moves, he clearly exhibits the style of an assassin so a frontal fight is not his strong suite.
Back to Shadowslash, the valiant looking genius eyes lits up as he quickly stabs his spear forward but what he thought as an opening was merely a trap.
With a twist, Shadowslash managed to dodge the attack as he grabs the shaft of the spear and pulled his enemy towards him.
Bam! He punched the Aqua Race genius on the face before using his real and yet fake at the same time arms to grab his enemy before using his powerful legs to kick him to the ground.
Boom! The earth shook but the ground was only partially destroyed clearly showing how tough it had become.
Shadowslash orders his Primordial Rune Scarabs to surround the mansion as he decided to use the enemy he is facing right now to increase the sturdiness of his foundation.
He lets out a roar as he fired his [Dragon Breath] following his breath attack were numerous compressed energy balls filled with different kinds of energy.
Chaotic energy, Yin Qi and demonic Qi.
There are nine balls each balls were reproduced by the nine tails of Shadowslash.
3 energy balls full of volatile chaotic energy, 3 energy balls full of toxic yin Qi and finally 3 energy balls filled with malicious demonic Qi.
He had mastered this technique quite easily as he had an innate mastery over these three element of his.
The Aqua Race genius felt the danger coming from the attacks flying towards him, letting out a shout he transformed into a half shark and half man figure.
Numerous giant sharks made up of water appeared in front of him as they took the brunt of Shadowslash's attacks.
He then stomps on the ground propelling himself towards Shadowslash.
Shadowslash threw the spear back to its owner intending on taking his enemy's attention.
He then used another one of his skill.
[Demonic Chaos Blast]
The Aqua Race genius spreads his palm as he grabs the shaft of his spear in a rather expert like manner but the force behind the throw still pushed him backward.
He made a sweeping motion as a huge wave appeared in front of him as it slams with Shadowslash's [Demonic Chaos Blast].
Boom! A powerful blast commenced once the two attacks collided with each other, the remnant of energy from the fight of the four people in the sky were greedily absorbed by the Primordial Rune Scarabs.
Shadowslash flew towards his enemy, at first he had thought he would be no match against a Xiantian King genius from the Aqua Race Clan but it seems that he had thought too much in terms of combat experience it seems that he had the higher ground.
Peng! Using his sharp claws to block the spear he managed to block the attack, he then used his other hand to punch out.
The Aqua Race genius grabs his fist as he smile in a rather smug manner but this smile disappears quickly as he felt his two legs being grasped by two forces.
The illusionary arm then pulls him downward as he hurriedly unleashed his aura to escape from the grasp of the two illusionary hand.
Chomp! Shadowslash follows up with a powerful punch but the Aqua Race genius bits his arm as he felt the pain coming from it.
His very tough scale was actually pierced by the sharp shark like teeth of his enemy as he punch the enemy away his expression became ugly as he realized that his wound wasn't actually recovering.
The Aqua Race genius grins as he licks his lips full of blood but when he finally tasted Shadowslash's blood his expression became blanked as if he was stunned.
Not wanting to waste this opportunity, Shadowslash quickly charged towards the enemy as he punched out using his illusionary hands but his main weapon is his two swords as they were now ready to unleash his newly evolved skill.
[Defence Breaking Darkflame Slash] a skill evolved from [Flaming Double Dark Slash].

He was intending on slashing this Aqua Race genius in halves.
Boom! His four illusionary hands manage to hit his enemy cleanly but his expression turned into shock as he realised his enemy have changed.
His enemy was now radiating a powerful aura as he looks at him with intense desire like a predator that have been starving for days and managed to see a fat delicious prey in front of him.
Shadowslash's instinct told him that he was facing an extremely dangerous situation but he gritted his teeth and decided not to retreat as he released his long awaited attack.
[Defence Breaking Slash]
But he missed, even though he attacked in an incredibly quick manner he still missed, suddenly he was strucked by a sudden sense of crisis coming behind him.
He unleashed another one of his skill as every tail on his back lits up and started moving like whips.
The Aqua Race genius weaves through the attacks made by the tails but before he could bite Shadowslash he was hit by one of his wings.
Shadowslash finally realised that his opponent is someone that relies on his speed and sharp teeth.
Before his opponents were all powerful individuals that has powerful strength, he would always used his speed to even out the fight or even defeat them but now he was facing an individual that is exactly like him, the only difference is that his opponent is much faster than him.
He now decided to switch from close combat to range attacks.
He was now planning to use another skill of his that had managed to evolved, not only it had evolved but it had also accomplished complete fusion on one of his techniques.
The skill is [Blazing Piercing Bullets] the evolved version of [Flame Bullets].
Blazing Piercing Bullets (Low Heaven Rank): Powerful small and sharp attacks formed from both fire and chaos Qi.
Skill Type: Long Range, Instantaneous
Cooldown: None
Mana: 10 each bullets
The technique he paired up with this skill is the rushing thunder technique.
It increase the power of the skill to a whole new level but using this skill he would need to use both his energy and Mana.
But for him, this wasn't a problem as he had extremely quick recovery over his Mana and energy thanks to his cultivation technique and Hentai's help.
Not to mention he had been accumulating boundless amount of energy to his dantian as of now with the help of Heaven Swallowing Technique so being exhausted wouldn't happen to him quite easily.
Countless bullets started flying towards his opponent as he summoned his clones to become his vanguards.
Now that the mansion is covered with Primordial Rune Scarabs the safety of his subjects and wives are secured.
The Aqua Race genius started stabbing his spear at an incredible speed as he managed to pierce through every bullets thrown at it but as time goes by he realized that he was slowly being pushed backward.
Now only that the remnant sparks from the thunder technique would shock him even though the pain is negligible the feeling of his senses losing their effects made his instinct react as it told him to flee from the barrage.
Without hesitation he ran away from the direction of the bullets but suddenly he felt his whole surrounding turning upside down.
[Transcendent Illusion]
Shadowslash have used this ability to cause his enemy to be dizzy, just like his other two skills this one had also evolved but its effect is still the same as before the only difference is it's rank.
The clones used this opportunity to start firing their very own [Blazing Piercing Bullets].
Shadowslash also started attacking and his attacks were filled with variety causing powerful effects to his enemy.
The Aqua Race genius was now helpless, he had exceptional speed and would be able to destroy the clones easily but because he was now trapped in an illusion he was now being toyed with.
Shadowslash was surprised by this he now realized because he was always been being restrained by the geniuses from this continent he was always looking at his situation in a rather pessimistic situation but the situation in front of him finally shows that his strength is now able to fight beings at Xiantian King Realm even though he was only on 3rd gate of Xiantian Realm.
But after thinking about it he realized that the enemy in front of him might be a newly broken through Xiantian King expert that is why he was still inexperienced on using his ability as a Xiantian King.
