Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 723: Speed Vs Extreme Speed!

Mo Zun sneered at Bai Zihan’s response.

"Too arrogant!"

In his eyes, Bai Zihan was simply too arrogant for his own good.

He actually dared to claim that he wanted to humiliate him?

"Since you want to court death..."

Mo Zun’s eyes flashed with coldness.

"Then I’ll grant your wish!"

Whoosh!!!

The moment his voice fell, his figure disappeared once again.

Demonic Ghost Step!

In an instant, Mo Zun appeared directly behind Bai Zihan.

His saber was already raised.

Without the slightest hesitation—

Slash!!!

The terrifying saber descended toward Bai Zihan’s back.

Mo Zun was completely confident.

With his current speed, Bai Zihan would not even have time to react.

However, when Mo Zun’s saber was about to reach Bai Zihan—

His eyes suddenly widened.

There was nothing in front of him.

Only air.

"What?!"

Mo Zun’s heart shook violently.

Bai Zihan had disappeared!

No!

That wasn’t right.

Just moments ago, he had clearly seen Bai Zihan standing there.

How could he suddenly disappear?

Mo Zun’s eyes quickly swept across the surroundings.

Nothing!

There was no trace of Bai Zihan.

His expression became increasingly ugly.

"Impossible..."

He had perfect vision.

With his cultivation, even the smallest movement within his field of vision could not escape his eyes.

How could he have failed to see Bai Zihan disappear?

Could he have been mistaken?

Could it be that what he had seen before was merely an illusion?

But how?

His eyes had never deceived him before!

"If it wasn’t my eyes..."

Mo Zun’s expression became solemn.

"Then where is Bai Zihan?"

Suddenly—

"What are you looking for?"

A calm voice sounded from behind him.

Mo Zun’s pupils instantly contracted.

He turned around violently.

"Bai Zihan!"

He was stunned.

Bai Zihan was standing behind him.

Mo Zun’s mind went completely blank for a moment.

He couldn’t understand what had happened.

From his perspective, he had used his extreme speed to catch Bai Zihan off guard.

He had appeared directly behind him.

He had been certain that his saber would strike Bai Zihan before he could react.

Yet when he reached him, there was nothing there.

And now, Bai Zihan was standing behind him.

The exact position he had originally occupied.

Mo Zun’s face became extremely solemn.

"What... happened?"

He stared at Bai Zihan.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"How did you..."

Mo Zun suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"What deception did you use?"

There was only one explanation he could think of.

Everything he had seen must have been some kind of trick.

A deception!

Perhaps Bai Zihan had created an illusion that made him believe he was standing there.

"What deception?"

Bai Zihan looked at Mo Zun with a faint smirk.

"With your slow movement, do I even need to use such petty tricks?"

Mo Zun’s expression instantly darkened.

Bai Zihan continued calmly.

"If you don’t believe it, you can try again and see for yourself."

Mo Zun gritted his teeth.

"I don’t believe it!"

He refused to accept what had just happened.

He had used the Demonic Ghost Step.

A High Heaven Grade movement technique!

Combined with his Golden Immortal cultivation, his speed had already reached an astonishing level.

There was no way Bai Zihan could move faster than him without him noticing.

"I’ll see how you dodge this time!"

Mo Zun’s Immortal Qi erupted once again.

He concentrated every bit of his strength into the Demonic Ghost Step.

The surrounding space trembled violently.

Whoosh!!!

His figure disappeared again.

This time, Mo Zun did not hold anything back.

His Divine Sense locked firmly onto Bai Zihan.

His eyes remained fixed on him.

He wanted to see exactly how Bai Zihan would move.

In the next instant—

Swish!!!

Mo Zun appeared directly in front of Bai Zihan.

He was certain.

This time, Bai Zihan was right in front of him.

He had seen him the entire time.

He had not missed even the slightest movement.

"Got you!"

Mo Zun’s eyes flashed with excitement.

However—

The moment he reached Bai Zihan’s position—

Nothing again!

There was nothing in front of him.

Only empty air.

Mo Zun’s pupils instantly contracted.

"What?!"

His entire body froze.

He had seen Bai Zihan standing there!

He had watched him the entire time!

There was absolutely no way he could have disappeared without him noticing.

Yet Bai Zihan was gone.

"Impossible..."

Mo Zun’s breathing became heavy.

He immediately turned around.

Nothing.

He swept his gaze across the surroundings.

Still nothing.

Then—

"See?"

A calm voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"I just walked in front of you, and you still couldn’t respond."

Mo Zun’s eyes widened.

His body became completely stiff.

Slowly, he turned his head.

Bai Zihan was standing behind him.

Mo Zun’s pupils trembled violently.

"This..."

He couldn’t believe it.

He had kept his eyes on Bai Zihan the entire time.

His Divine Sense had also been locked onto him.

He had watched Bai Zihan from beginning to end.

Yet somehow, Bai Zihan had still appeared behind him.

Without him noticing.

How?!

"What’s happening?"

Mo Zun’s mind was in complete chaos.

The surrounding spectators were just as confused as Mo Zun.

After all, they had witnessed everything from beginning to end.

At first, when Mo Zun activated the Demonic Ghost Step, everyone was shocked by his speed.

The High Heaven Grade movement technique had drastically increased Mo Zun’s already terrifying speed.

Even from a distance, tracking his movements was extremely difficult.

Some of the Bai Clan cultivators had initially believed that Bai Zihan would be at a disadvantage.

After all, Mo Zun’s Demonic Ghost Step was even faster than their famous Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword Technique.

Bai Ren and Bai Chu had even prepared themselves to intervene if the situation became dangerous.

But then—

Bai Zihan moved.

And what happened next completely exceeded their expectations.

"How...?"

Bai Ren’s eyes widened.

He had been carefully watching the battlefield.

When Mo Zun tried to appear behind Bai Zihan and catch him off guard, Bai Zihan had moved even faster.

By the time Mo Zun realized what had happened—

Bai Zihan was already standing behind him.

The entire process had happened so quickly that even the spectators could barely understand it.

They knew that Mo Zun must be even more confused than them.

"What technique did Zihan’er use?"

Bai Chu couldn’t hide the confusion in his voice.

"It is too fast!"

Bai Ren also stared at the battlefield in disbelief.

"Yes! Too fast."

His brows furrowed deeply.

"It isn’t the Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword Technique, though it seemed somewhat similar."

Although they had previously believed that their movement technique was the best in the Desolate Heaven Empire, they had to admit that Mo Zun’s Demonic Ghost Step was better.

But whatever Bai Zihan had used was far superior to even the Demonic Ghost Step.

Even though they could sense some resemblance between Bai Zihan’s technique and the Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword Technique, it was still different enough for them to know immediately that it was not the same technique.

Bai Chu’s expression became increasingly solemn.

"I couldn’t even see how he moved."

Bai Ren remained silent.

His gaze was fixed firmly on Bai Zihan.

Even with his cultivation, he couldn’t understand what had just happened.

"This..."

A nearby Bai Clan elder couldn’t help but swallow.

"Could it be that Bai Zihan has created a new technique?"
