High in the stratosphere above Dry-Well City, Enforcer Xue Sha knew he had nowhere left to run.
Behind him, the Upper-Realm spatial wormhole was locked shut by five thousand freshly oiled Star-Bronze Golems. Below him, 1.8 billion citizens were cheering for his head to get flattened. And across from him, the young World Emperor of Planet Canglan was holding up a five-mile-wide Black-Gold Planetary Brick that smelled faintly of roasted magma-crab and golden dragon-camel spit!
“If I can’t run, I’ll fight to the death!” Xue Sha screamed, his hair standing straight up inside the chest of his Thousand-Foot Blood-Moon Avatar. He bit the tip of his tongue so hard he spat out three drops of golden-red Soul-Core marrow! “Even if that brick is five miles wide, a giant rock is slow and clumsy! Before you can swing that heavy mountain at me, I’ll slice your real body in half! Blood-Moon Secret Art: Six-Arm Light-Speed Slash!”
SHING! SHING! SHING!
All six hundred-foot flaming blood-swords blurred into a single crimson laser beam! Burning another fifty years of his lifespan, Xue Sha propelled his Thousand-Foot Avatar forward at twenty times the speed of sound, aiming all six sword tips straight at Pei Xuan’s throat!
