King Libra clenched the soul flower tightly in his hand! However, as he brought it to his mouth, he suddenly noticed Lilly standing in front of him: “Hey, what are you eating? Let me see.” King Libra instinctively shoved it into his mouth, but it slipped away at the last moment.
With the soul flower still in her hand, Lilly muttered, “It's alright, your saliva didn’t touch it.” She worked so hard to retrieve it, so she was not about to give it to someone else. She would not give it up no matter what.
King Libra was speechless.
Frustrated, he fell to the ground and exclaimed, “Are you just toying with me!?” Lilly looked puzzled and replied, “Huh? No! If you're not fun to play with, why would | wanna play with you?” King Libra was silent.
Meanwhile, Blake, who was “watching the show” outside the Palace of the Ruler of Hell, coughed awkwardly. It was not the best time to intervene.
Lilly continued, “I came here to practice my skills with you.” King Libra cursed.
There's no need to be so straightforward about it! Lilly put the soul flower back into the jar of souls and rushed toward him.
She stated her intention and went straight into the action, catching King Libra off guard.
Without any precautions in place, King Libra was easily thrown aside with great force! “Bang!” King Libra crashed into the wall of the hall, creating a loud thud that rattled his head.
Enraged, King Libra’s anger billowed, his every orifice fuming with frustration, “You! You insolent brat, how dare you provoke...” “Bang!” Lilly moved with lightning speed, swiftly grabbing King Libra’s ankle once again and flinging him outward.

However, | have one!” Lilly had exerted so much force that her words came out slurred, causing King Libra’s ears to buzz. He could not tell if he had been thrown or if Lilly's words had shocked him.
“You...!I" Bang! Silence followed.
Lilly effortlessly threw King Libra three times in succession.
King Libra did not expect to be thrown three times by Lilly, whom he had belittled. He was on the verge of exploding with rage.
Getting back on his feet, his eyes fixated on Lilly with a predatory glare.
However, he was caught off guard.
King Libra still remembered that when he had been captured, Lilly had been nothing more than an ant to him! He could have easily crushed her with a flick of his fingers! King Libra stood up and sneered, “Very well, | wasn’t paying attention earlier, but you won't be so lucky this time!” Unexpectedly, Lilly gestured for him to come closer with her fingers, saying, “Come on then!” King Libra was silent.
Are you insulting me? A hint of coldness flickered in his eyes as he raised his foot and charged toward her.
King Libra was fast.
He was King Libra and would not be defeated this easily.
Lilly prepared herself the moment King Libra charged, but she still could not dodge his first attack.
As King Libra’s palm struck, Lilly managed to step back before being slapped.
Lilly's pupils contracted, and with a resounding thud, she was sent flying by the force of the blow.
“Lilly!” Blake couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, his back tensing up.
Lilly stood up and reassured him, “I'm fine... Daddy, I'm fine...” The moment King Libra’s palm struck her, she had secretly activated the pen of judgment, using it to withstand the attack with all her might.
The pen of judgment resonated perfectly with her, invisible to anyone else, but it had indeed helped her fend off the lethal strike.
Lilly's judgment was spot-on. King Libra was furious and had exerted all his strength in that palm.
Moreover, finally seeing Lilly, this little being daring to provoke him, King Libra used the opportunity to hide his true strength and wait for the right moment.
He believed that with that palm, Lilly would surely be killed, or at the very least, severely injured.
Little did he know that Lilly was merely thrown back several feet, digging her heels into the ground to abruptly stop her momentum.
She did not die, nor did she disintegrate into dust as he expected.
King Libra was taken aback.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt can’t be... Since when was Lilly so powerful? He refused to believe it! He had been deceitfully confined by Lilly. Back then, Lilly was just four years old, and now she was merely five.
In a year, King Libra could not bring himself to believe that she had grown to a level where she could compete with him! “I underestimated you,” King Libra narrowed his eyes, fixating them on Lilly. This time, he had expended a great deal of energy and vowed to never underestimate his enemies again.
He did not know just how powerful Lilly had become now, but he knew that during the year he had been imprisoned, he had not been given any opportunity to heal.
His vitality waned, gradually fading into weakness.
However, King Libra remained convinced that no matter how feeble he was, Lilly would never pose a threat to him.
Lilly affectionately tousled her hair, making sure it was still neat.
“Come on, come on!” Lilly taunted, provoking once again.
Seeing the determined look on the little child's face fueled King Libra’s anger even more.
“You'll regret everything you've done today!” King Libra charged forward, resembling a bolt of darkness, swiftly closing the distance to Lilly! Lilly fixed her gaze on King Libra’s figure, astonished by his incredible speed.
Her father had set the training objective for the day, if she managed to dodge King Libra’s attack, it would be a success.
Yet, despite her best efforts, she could not dodge the blow. As she was sent hurtling through the air and coughed up blood.
Lilly tumbled and landed on the ground, clenching her teeth tightly, refusing to utter a sound.
It was far from over!
