*Boom!*
*spurt!*
Blood fell from his mouth as Wang Yao tried to stand up.
'What the hell is going on?' He couldn't understand where he was.
Just a few minutes ago, he was an untouchable existence, but then he appeared in this white space and was left powerless.
His enemy, whom he had considered just a bug all this time, was thrashing him badly, not even giving him a chance to catch a breath.
"Ye Tian Yun, you bastard!" Wang Yao held his stomach as he somehow managed to stand up, "Where the fuck have you brought me!?"
Ye Tian Yun, who was standing in front of him, hadn't spoken a word and was beating him up like a machine.
"Speak up!" Wang Yao clenched his teeth, ready to attack, but stopped just in time when he remembered that it was a foolish move.
However, it was different for Ye Tian Yun.
This was the biggest opportunity for him, and he was not going to let it go.
He moved and slashed his sword once more.
Wang Yao grunted and defended once more.
"Ugh!" Even though he was able to defend himself, the impact, however, pushed him back.
Ye Tian Yun jumped backward and once again attacked with full momentum.
Wang Yao gritted his teeth and tried to defend himself once again.
But this time, something unexpected happened!
Ye Tian Yun moved his swords and jerked his body to change the trajectory.
Before Wang Yao could react, Ye Tian Yun appeared right behind him!
*siu~!*
"AHHH!"�
A cry of pain echoed through the white space as Wang Yao plopped on his knees with his hands on his shoulder.
Beside him was his hand!
"You bastard, what do you want!?" Wang Yao gritted his teeth and popped a pill in his mouth to relieve himself from the pain.
Ye Tian Yun had cut his hand!
"I missed." Ye Yian Yun appeared a few distances away from him and let out a sigh.
Staring at the helpless Wang Yao, Ye Tian Yun spoke, "Wang Yao, stop this System, and I may give you a chance."
Wang Yao frowned.
Clearly, Ye Tian Yun was talking about the System Shutdown countdown that was still going on.
Even though Wang Yao's Emblem Of Time was useless in this space, the System's countdown was still going on.
Wang Yao also noticed this.
He asked, "How can you - ugh - how can your System work here? There's no concept of time in this place!"
Ye Tian Yun shrugged.
Even he, himself, didn't know the answer.
When he first brought Wang Yao here, his main aim was to stop the System countdown and get Wang Yao on equal grounds to him.
But here, even though Wang Yao's Emblem Of Time was useless, the System countdown was still going on.
'Maybe this is because this space was technically given to me by the System?'
This white space that Ye Tian Yun had brought Wang Yao in was actually the Nine Heaven Painting!
Earlier, when System had ejected everything from the Inventory space, it had also released the Nine Heavens Painting.
This painting was the one he bought during his time in the Sword Stele. It had an independent space, and basically, the concept of time was pretty complicated in this place.
This artifact was similar to a spatial ring, but the only catch was that living things could also be put in this space.
This was why Ye Tian Yun was able to bring Wang Yao here.
Luckily, his bet worked, and the Emblem Of Time became useless!
However, the countdown was still going on.
[1:53]
[1:52]
[1:51]
With every passing moment, Ye Tian Yun was losing valuable time.
Now that he had the situation in control, he was not going to lose this chance.
Ye Tian Yun moved and sent a kick right on Wang Yao's face.
*bang!*
Wang Yao's body was hurled to the side, and he ended up lying on the ground head first.
He was feeling helpless and weak.
Ye Tian Yun stepped closer to him, then clenching Wang Yao's hair, he raised Wang Yoa's head.
"Stop this countdown." Ye Tian Yun commanded.
Wang Yao gritted his teeth, and after a moment, he suddenly began to laugh.
"Ahahaha, this is good, really good, you will soon lose the System, hahahaha."
Wang Yao's maniacal laughter echoed through the white space.
Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes and clenching Wang Yao's hair tighter; he slammed his head on the ground!
*bang!*
He slammed it a few more times.
*bang!*
*bang!*
*bang!*
"Now you feel like talking?" Ye Tian Yun brought Wang Yao's face right in front of him.
Wang Yao's body was aching from every corner. His face was hurting a lot. Even though he had taken a pill, it wasn't having much effect because the pain was just too much.
With a broken nose, cracked skull, lost teeth, and flowing blood throughout his face, Wang Yao whispered, "You bastard, you were never even supposed to get this System. It was never yours."
Ye Tian Yun squinted his eyes, "We both were never supposed to appear here. Yet we're here. I won't believe it if someone says it was just a random outcome. Now stop this System shutdown, and maybe we can leave this space."
Wang Yao laughed, "As if I would believe your bullshit! Hmph! The command is irreversible."
Ye Tian Yun frowned when he heard this.
Clenching his teeth, he slammed Wang Yao's head once again on the ground.
"Ugh!" Wang Yao grunted and looked at him in pure hatred, "Bastard, you can't stop the countdown. The System won't last long. It's just a matter of time."
Ye Tian Yun gritted his teeth and threw Wang Yao a hundred feet away.
*bang!*
*plop plop!*
Wang Yao finally lost consciousness after a long beating.
Ye Tian Yun stared at his unmoving body and let out a sigh.
Then asked, 'System, is there no way to stop this countdown?'
[Host, this countdown cannot be stopped.]
