Fortunately, with the pen of judgment, Lilly was able to withstand the majority of King Libra’s attacks. Otherwise, she would not have dared to provoke him in such a manner.
Shielded by the pen of judgment, she could focus all her energy on countering King Libra’s onslaught, carefully observing his every move.
The sight of the blood she spat out was not in vain, as it provided her with valuable insights into King Libra’s tactics.
“I saw it!” Lilly whispered, her gaze fixed on King Libra as he approached for the third time, intent on ending her life.
This time, before he could even get close, Lilly moved with greater speed, vanishing from sight in an instant! King Libra’s palm struck empty air.
The small figure in front of him had vanished in the blink of an eye! What in the world was this tool she possessed? “Hey, I'm behind you!” Lilly's voice echoed from behind.
King Libra swiftly turned his head, only to find Lilly standing behind him, a radiant smile gracing her face, nearly blinding in its brilliance.
In the instant he turned his head, he swiped his palm through the air.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis time, he witnessed Lilly swiftly evade his attack, moving to the side in a split second.
No matter what tool he used, it proved useless against her nimbleness. She dodged his attacks.
Impossible! King Libra was taken aback. If Lilly could dodge solely based on her speed, did it mean that her strength had already reached a terrifying level? He refused to believe it! Determination flickered in King Libra’s eyes as he unleashed a series of consecutive palm strikes.
As expected, Lilly evaded the first palm, but she could not avoid the subsequent second and third strikes.
“Haha... so that’s how it is,” King Libra sneered. “Well, it's quite impressive that you can predict my attack patterns!” Lilly was sent flying and collided with the wall.
The impact left a deep dent in the wall, and it was soft like cotton candy.
King Libra was speechless.
This is just... unfair! The collision caused a loud bang, ringing in his ears and leaving Lilly feeling weightless upon impact.
Darkness clouded King Libra’s eyes. Now that he had a grasp of Lilly's strength, all he needed to do was eliminate her. Not to mention that the Palace of the Ruler of hell could not trap him—soon, the Palace of the Ruler of Hell would be under his control! It must be said that being imprisoned for a year and going without eating for that long had left King Libra quite foolish and starved for power.
His mind and intellect were not as bright as they used to be...
It did not occur to him that if Lilly was able to escape his initial strike, why wouldn't she be able to escape from the Palace of the Ruler of Hell if she was in danger? “Come at me!” Despite her minor injuries, Lilly grew more courageous in the face of frustration.
Before she could even stand up, King Libra launched another attack. Though his physical strength was already depleted, he restored some of his energy.
Now, he believed he could take down Lilly.
With that conviction, he unleashed five consecutive strikes! Lilly swiftly kicked her heels against the ground and leaped up like an agile cat, successfully parrying the first three strikes in rapid succession.
She was unable to evade the subsequent two strikes, but the pen of judgment came to her rescue.
Now, the pen of judgment served as her impenetrable shield, and King Libra’s current strength was incapable of breaking through its defense and harming her.
Lilly coughed, wiping away the blood from the corner of her mouth.
She gazed at King Libra with a smile and taunted, “Is that all? Are you that weak?” King Libra’s fingers trembled involuntarily, a result of his exhaustion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe, the mighty king of the underworld, had been underestimated by a mere child! Inside the jar of souls, the spirits cheered and rooted for Lilly. “Go, Lilly, go!” they exclaimed.
The harem spirit presented a purple soul flower to Lilly, saying, “Lilly, eat this to replenish your strength!” The cowardly ghost gave her a bottle filled halfway with water from the cold pool and handed it to Lilly. “Lilly, have some water!” The bridal ghost waved a makeshift flag. “Lilly, you can do it! Keep going!” Lilly grabbed the purple soul flower and ate it in front of King Libra.
She then drank from the bottle, throwing it aside after finishing it.
The injuries she sustained from her training began to heal, and her pallid face gained a touch of rosy color.
Lilly tossed the mineral water bottle aside.
“I'm done replenishing my energy!” King Libra’s mouth twitched.
This... was it the water from the ice pond?! Was he mistaken? During his year-long confinement, King Libra had become aware of everything. He was sure that the water Lilly drank was from the ice pond.
Unbelievable! She ate soul flowers, drank water from the ice pond, and now she was attacking him, who had been starved for a year! Do you have a conscience at all? Lilly did not give King Libra the chance to complain. In an instant, as the water bottle hit the ground, she swiftly lunged forward, extracting a long sword from thin air and aiming it toward King Libra’s head! “Look at my blade!” Lilly shouted, striking King Libra’s head with a fierce sword swing.
“Puff!” King Libra had no time to dodge it as he was caught off guard and had no physical strength. He was forcefully cleaved in two by the sword, dividing his brain into two separate halves.
The air was filled with a tumultuous malevolence! Lilly felt an overwhelming sense of triumph. “I landed the blow!” A chilling glint sparkled in King Libra’s eyes as he smiled cruelly."Die!”
