Initially, Phantylia believed herself to be the hunter and Bochang the prey.

However, it seemed...

Perhaps she was like the mantis stalking its prey, unaware of the sparrow lurking behind.

"Have I revealed myself somehow? But that's impossible... Who exactly is hiding in the shadows? Herta has clearly left, and Jing Yuan couldn't possibly have such peculiar abilities." Phantylia's thoughts spiraled into chaos, and she began contemplating retreat.

Upon arriving at Xianzhou, Phantylia had endured brutal beatings from two Emanators and faced Bochang's intense wrath.

This body was her last hope.

If it were destroyed again...

Her journey would have been utterly futile.

"If I had known earlier...I shouldn't have ambushed him. It would've been better to endure and wait..." Phantylia looked helplessly at Bochang standing just within reach. She yearned to explain herself, but he offered no opportunity. "It seems my only choice is to swiftly defeat him and then find a way out of here."

She had witnessed Bochang's prowess before. With Bailu, Welt Yang, Dan Heng, or others assisting him, Phantylia indeed lacked the ability to quickly overcome him.

However...

Now, facing Bochang alone, she felt confident, as long as she remained cautious about the individual orchestrating events behind the scenes.

After all, this person effortlessly dragged everyone into distorted space and rendered Bochang's teleportation ring unusable. Even if not an Emanator themselves, their power must be close to that level.

With their capabilities entirely unknown,

This posed a significant threat.

As Bochang charged forward using the Dragon Talisman's third-rated power level,

Stelle remained on the spot to test her teleportation ring, attempting to contact March 7th and escape.

There was no response whatsoever.

The reason?

Obviously, Bochang had disrupted the signal; in reality, Silver Wolf's distorted space did not inherently block the teleportation ring's capabilities.

Realizing the ring was indeed ineffective, Stelle tightened her grip on the baseball bat.

"What do we do now? Can just the two of us defeat Phantylia?"

Unconsciously, sweat began to bead on Stelle's palms.

Meanwhile, Bochang engaged with Phantylia.

With each thrust of the Vow Spear, it clashed against the small palm-leaf fan, generating bursts of white shockwaves in the air.

Despite not being made of metal,

Phantylia's palm-leaf fan effortlessly blocked Bochang's attacks, swiftly recovering even when pierced through.

After three rounds of combat, Phantylia sensed something amiss.

"This guy... seems to have become stronger again."

Compared to their previous encounter, Bochang's strength had significantly increased. Now, Phantylia started doubting whether she could swiftly overpower him.

"It seems I must proceed cautiously... or perhaps resolve this misunderstanding and make him aware that someone supports him from behind."

With a flick of her small palm-leaf fan,

a surge of wind and thunder erupted, emitting vibrant indigo-purple light. It forcefully pushed Bochang back several dozen meters before he managed to regain his footing.

Phantylia, having created distance between them, began, "First, let's..."

In the next instant...

Bochang activated the Dragon Talisman at its third-rated power once more. Flames burst forth beneath his feet, providing immense propulsion as he charged directly towards his opponent.

The reactive force caused his skin to tear inch by inch.

Fortunately, the Horse Talisman's healing power swiftly repaired the damage, preventing any significant harm.

As Bochang approached, fueled by pain and anger, he unleashed over a hundred fiery spear thrusts, pouring out his fate path energy so intensely it even induced a burning sensation on Phantylia's skin.

He was akin to a miniature sun blazing against her.

Phantylia's intended words were stifled, leaving her discontented.

According to the script provided by the Stellaron Hunters:

Bochang must not allow Phantylia any chance to explain, as it could negatively impact the awakening of his destiny path related to Stelle.

Therefore...

Bochang showed no intention of letting her explain.

"Damn... he won't even give me a chance to speak!" Phantylia felt increasingly frustrated.

As Bochang closed the distance once more, his spear danced wildly, creating countless indistinguishable fiery thrusts.

Phantylia rapidly retreated, swaying her tail to summon a hurricane that lifted her aloft. Riding the wind, she swiftly evaded the spear attacks while unleashing gusts of wind and thunder dragons against him.

In response...

Bochang effortlessly unleashed fire lotuses, extinguishing them instantly.

The glow of flames, crackling of lightning, and howl of wind intertwined, transforming the silent darkness of the distorted space into a cacophony of action.

Bochang then tossed out several green leaves, generating multiple phantom clones. These duplicates attacked Phantylia from various directions, each soaring through the air with their spears aimed directly at her.

It seemed as though they had been battling for quite some time, but in reality, only mere seconds had passed.

Stelle composed herself momentarily before following Bochang's lead, joining the pursuit.

Phantylia continued fighting while retreating. She was not particularly skilled in close-quarters combat, and realizing her opponent had grown stronger, she naturally preferred to maintain distance, employing a kiting strategy.

As she moved,

Phantylia waved her small palm fan gracefully, her movements akin to dancing, stirring the air around them as if preparing for an even greater storm.

Moments later...

Multiple tornadoes erupted from the ground, accompanied by flashing thunder dragons.

In the intense battle that ensued,

Bochang and Phantylia's figures danced unpredictably in the sky.

With each defeated phantom clone visible to the naked eye, it transformed into a withered leaf, only to be shredded instantly by the violent forces.

Stelle couldn't keep up with their speed, nor could she intervene directly in the fight. Instead, she remained on the ground, using her baseball bat to fend off incoming tornadoes and thunder dragons.

Even this task exhausted Stelle rapidly.

Bochang and Phantylia had disappeared amidst the whirlwind of tornadoes and thunder dragons, becoming completely invisible.

"It seems... I can finally unleash my full potential now," Bochang's eyes gleamed slightly.

Indeed, at this moment, Bochang had not yet utilized his complete strength.

The hidden power he held was—Nudity!

The Stellaron Hunter advised Bochang that the best opportunity to feign defeat against Phantylia would be when Stelle couldn't see them.

However, before that moment arrived,

Bochang needed to inflict severe damage on Phantylia, ensuring no unexpected complications arose.

And now...

the opportunity presented itself.

Bochang swiftly executed his "One-Second Strip," and all his phantom clones followed suit. With only a fiery cloak covering him, glimpses of indecent areas were faintly visible.

Phantylia was momentarily stunned.

"Damn... impressive..."

"Wait... we're fighting here, so why is he taking off his clothes?"

Phantylia regained her composure, feeling as if her eyes had been tainted.

"I understand now; he's trying to distract me with this tactic. Hmph... underestimating me too much."

"As the omnipotent Lord Ravager traversing the universe, there's nothing I haven't witnessed."

Remaining composed, Phantylia sensed another Invisible Hand grasping at her wind barrier defense...

She remarked, "Trivial tricks! As long as it doesn't involve fire attacks, I needn't even bother evading."

However, moments later...

Bochang's Invisible Hand effortlessly crushed Phantylia's wind wall defense.

Lord Ravager exclaimed, "Huh?"

Justice's Messenger + Big sister Killer + Naked Form.

Triple CRIT DMG multiplier x2x2x2.

With just one strike from Bochang, the damage would be multiplied by 8.

If Phantylia could have dodged, it might not have mattered.

No matter how high the damage, missing the target renders it futile.

Yet, Phantylia arrogantly chose not to evade, dismissing the Invisible Hand's power as insignificant and unwilling to waste energy on it.
