Boom!
The snake was knocked away by the man again . When it crashed into the nearby wall, the entire hall shook violently .
Han Sen did not dare fight the man any longer . When the man turned his attention back to him, though, he swung his dagger to kick up a black flame, then leapt out of the man's way in a fiery evasion .
But the man possessed unimaginable power, and no matter how hard Han Sen tried, he couldn't dodge .
The man's hand was like an omnipotent shadow that trailed those who sought to flee it, hovering above and ready to snatch or smash helpless victims .
Gritting his teeth, Han Sen used his red dagger in an attempt to knock the hand away . But this time, the man's hand suddenly opened to grab the red blade . And then, in a flash, it was broken in a swift clench .
But the man's hand did not stop there . It still came toward Han Sen, and the attack was not absorbed by the sacred-blood armor he wore . The wretched nails of Han Sen's foe were sharper than any blade .
If it wasn't for the Dragon-Blood Snake, the man in black would have twisted Han Sen's head off .
When the hand came for Han Sen, at the last second, the Dragon-Blood Snake leapt in front of its master to take the hit . Instantly, the creature was knocked away again, but still, the man did not relent . And it seemed no matter what Han Sen tried, shaking this ghastly person would be impossible .
Han Sen had no choice but to now pull out his Taia sword . He hadn't used it earlier, in fear of it being broken . That belief had not changed, but it was the best blade he currently had .
It was a desperate time, and Han Sen could not afford to be careful . He would do whatever it took to survive, so with Taia in hand, Han Sen swung it against the man's incoming hand .
Dong!
Han Sen and the sword were sent flying, but strangely, the man let out a yelp . He shouted aloud in pain, and Han Sen noticed a wound across his hand . And from the gash Han Sen had delivered, the man bled purple .
"Taia has what it takes to hurt him?" Han Sen was surprised and delighted . The man stopped moving and looked on the sword with great fear .
Han Sen was happy and renewed with hope following this development . With this revelation, he might have a chance to escape . And it was all thanks to Taia .
When Han Sen took this opportunity to flee, though, the man was still not keen to let him go . The man came after him, but kept a moderate distance between them . His desires to keep Han Sen there and to stay away from Han Sen's sword seemed conflicted .

Han Sen fell back to the tree, but the Red-Eye Rabbit had vanished .
"My tree . . . you die . . . " The man, seeing his tree stripped bare, looked furious .
No longer did he care about the sword Han Sen possessed, as a blazing bonfire of anger surrounded him in a frightful aura . The cavern seemed to tremble with his rage .
"Hey, it wasn't just me . The rabbit had some, too!" Han Sen kept on running, summoning his Dragon-Blood Snake to follow from behind .
When Han Sen made it out of the tree-hall, Han Sen heard the Dragon-Blood Snake cry out behind him . Turning back to take a look, it seemed grievously injured . Han Sen couldn't dwell on it too much, though . He summoned it back and cast Aero to glide upstream .
But before he could put space between himself and the man, Han Sen found him approaching at a rapid pace and closing the gap .
"D*mn it!" Han Sen cursed aloud, but he did not relent in his flight .
Boom!
The man stepped across the water and then leapt up into the air . He was right beside Han Sen, and there seemed no likely way he'd escape this strike .

"F*ck you!" Han Sen waved his Taia madly .
But the man was like the master of all, and he was obviously prepared for this . He evaded the sword and threw his palm at Han Sen's chest .
Spilling blood from his mouth, Han Sen lost control of his flight and went careening into the river . A huge splash accompanied his crash into the stream .
The chestplate of his armor had been broken, and the water was dyed red . As wounded as he was, though, Han Sen was not yet willing to give up .
Han Sen had practiced diving before . Holding strong against the pain threatened to drown him, Han Sen dove deeper into the water, trying to escape the evil thing that hounded him .
It was a deep stream, ten meters at least . But as Han Sen kept swimming, he suddenly caught sight of a pale face with black hair swirling around it . It was like the frightening appearance of an underwater demon .
"You can even beat me when it comes to swimming?" Han Sen was angered by his opponent . Realizing flight was still pointless, he decided to attack with Taia again .
The man looked cold . He dodged Han Sen's sword strike, spun, and had his arm outstretched . He was inches away from palming Han Sen's chest .
Figuring it was a now-or-never moment, Han Sen burst with a bright white light . His eyes and hair shone like white gold, signaling his transformation into a super king spirit .
His power and speed increased, and an endless font of energy sprung up inside his body to fuel his limbs . Han Sen did not dodge the incoming attack, he merely reoriented his Taia sword to strike the man's chest .

Pang!
The man's hand collided with Han Sen's chest, as Han Sen's blade plunged deep into the man in black's heart . Both of them bled .
The man groaned and fell back into the black waters .
Han Sen wasn't going to let him get away, though . He found footing on a rock and pushed himself forward with the blade primed to strike the man's chest once more .
The man, seeing what was coming, clapped his hands to catch the incoming sword .
"Die!" Han Sen's white light burned with the fire of a sun . With the power of his first gene lock open, the Taia sword did not relent upon its capture . It plunged deep into the man's chest once more .
With this second stab, the man could not help but scream . He palmed Han Sen and the sword left his body .
