Itachi are a worthy opponent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Descendant of the Candle Dragon! An ancient beast bloodline that controls time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp intake of breath erupted from the human camp. No one expected the beast side to send such a heavyweight in the third match!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Candle Dragon… it’s truly the Candle Dragon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Legend says the Candle Dragon opens its eyes to bring day, closes them for night, exhales winter, inhales summer, and manipulates fragments of time! How do Itachi fight that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Jiuyuan is in danger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s gaze instantly hardened to its utmost intensity. The Candle Dragon’s ability was too bizarre—touching the domain of time, impossible to guard against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiuyuan’s Heavy Sword Dao relied on overwhelming force, but before time’s power, strength might have no place to manifest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ting and Lu Wujiu’s faces were grim. They hadn’t expected that their previous opponent was merely a pawn, and now the enemy had deployed their trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast side’s troop deployment had completely defied their expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the arena, Li Jiuyuan faced Zhu Yin; his solemn expression flickered and vanished, replaced by unwavering resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he drew the massive black iron sword on his back, its tip slanted toward the ground, as a deep, heavy sword intent began to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please.” Li Jiuyuan uttered a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yin’s gold-and-silver pupils flickered with interest; he made no immediate move, but gently raised his right hand and clenched it toward the space around Li Jiuyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time… slow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without sound, the space within ten meters of Li Jiuyuan seemed to thicken—the light grew viscous, air flow slowed drastically, as if sinking into mud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiuyuan felt an invisible force envelop him—his sword swings, his spiritual energy flow, even his thoughts—all became painfully slow and difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if countless invisible threads wrapped around him, dragging him into a sluggish river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A domain? No—it’s a more fundamental law’s influence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiuyuan’s heart tightened. He tried to move; a step normally effortless now weighed a thousand jin, crawling with slowness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within my time domain, your strength is meaningless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yin’s voice carried a hint of indifference as he elegantly raised a finger and lightly pointed at the sluggish Li Jiuyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Era Finger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gray-white beam, imbued with the erosion of time, shot toward Li Jiuyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the finger blast seemed slow, under the slowed domain, to Li Jiuyuan it was like a thunderclap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No evasion possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiuyuan’s eyes blazed with light; with iron will, he forced his sluggish spiritual energy to surge, lifting the heavy sword half a foot, blocking it before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavy Mountain, Defend!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-white finger struck the broad blade, unleashing a dull, thunderous crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiuyuan shuddered violently, sliding backward several meters with sword in hand, his arm trembling slightly; on the blade’s surface, a patch of rust—like aged decay—appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, a sense of decay and corruption crept along the blade, seeking to invade his body and erode his vitality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a bizarre time force!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiuyuan growled, his blood burning like a furnace, spiritual energy exploding as he forcibly expelled the invading time force; the rust on the blade slowly faded, but the cost was clearly great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? Itachi blocked my finger. Your foundation is indeed solid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yin was slightly surprised, then smiled with amusement: “Try this then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He formed an ancient hand seal with both hands; his gold and silver pupils blazed with brilliant light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open eyes—day; close eyes—night… Time Disarray!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Li Jiuyuan felt the surrounding space-time collapse into chaos!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment normal flow, the next excruciatingly slow, then suddenly accelerated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His perception twisted, his balance vanished, even his internal spiritual energy surged erratically—stopping, then raging wildly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this chaotic time-space, he could not attack—could barely stand steady, his body swaying uncontrollably, leaving endless openings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now.” Zhu Yin moved, as if ignoring the chaotic time-space, appearing instantly beside Li Jiuyuan, his palm like a blade, slashing straight for Li Jiuyuan’s neck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this palm landed, Li Jiuyuan would be decapitated instantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the critical moment, Li Jiuyuan roared, relying on his battle instincts forged through countless trials and absolute control over his ability, forcing a sliver of stability within the temporal chaos!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the slicing palm aimed at his neck, he poured all his strength, will, and understanding of the Heavy Sword Dao into both hands; the black iron sword groaned under strain, breaking all chains with sheer momentum, and swung forward in a raw, unadorned downward slash toward where Zhu Yin had stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavy Sword, Edgeless—True Skill Needs No Artifice! Break!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no technique—it was the embodiment of Dao! A blade of conviction, cleaving through illusion, severing bonds with absolute force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword’s momentum erupted—and the chaotic time domain was violently torn open by this pure, ultimate force and will!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yin’s lethal palm, disrupted by the domain’s sudden fluctuation and Li Jiuyuan’s suicidal counterattack, had to retract; his eyes flashed with fresh surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi shattered my time disarray with brute force? Human ant, Itachi merit my full attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiuyuan panted heavily; that single strike had drained him—his palms cracked, blood dripping down the sword hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared fixedly at Zhu Yin, his gaze unshaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your time force is indeed strange—but my sword can sever all things!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Empty boasts.” Zhu Yin’s eyes grew cold. “Let me show Itachi what true… Candle Dragon power truly is.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1078,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e45397a3a7f71524040428310f07aeb05f87137586854cfbc674abf87f3a1dc9","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-133","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-131",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
