This isn't good. Hui Haifeng frowned. Anyone with a certain level of discernment could sense that Human Emperor's rhythm wasn't right.
In the past, Human Emperor didn't make any unnecessary movements and could easily block Xiao's sword. But now, he could clearly sense that Human Emperor's actions weren't as simple as before.
Zhou Wen had no choice. In order to ensure that there was a backup plan when a certain part of his body suffered a problem, he had no choice but to make more preparations. Therefore, his actions weren't as simple.
Although he could barely withstand Xiao's attack, Zhou Wen knew that this wasn't a long-term solution. He had to resolve the current situation before an irreparable problem occurred with his body.
Zhou Wen's mind raced as he thought of a way to resolve his current passive situation.
It wasn't impossible for him to reverse the situation and kill a Calamity Grade battle at the Terror grade, but he had to resolve the huge problem of the Calamity domain.
The Calamities Zhou Wen had previously slain didn't have much of an effect on him. However, Xiao's Calamity domain was somewhat different. It was a very complicated domain power.
There were Rule Bending Powers, curse-like powers, mental attacks, and some other things.
The nomological powers had already been restrained by the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder, and the curse-like powers had been resolved by Truth Listener. Zhou Wen could withstand mental attacks with his willpower.
Now, there was still an unknown force affecting Zhou Wen's body. He had to resolve this force before he could truly fight Xiao.
Crack!
As Zhou Wen's fingers twitched uncontrollably, he failed to block Xiao's sword in time. Although he had retreated in time, he was still stabbed in the shoulder by Xiao.
The rapier pierced through the Dragon Imprisoned Armor, leaving a tiny hole in it. As Zhou Wen retreated, the tip of the rapier left his body as blood spewed out.
Thankfully, the Dragon Imprisoned Armor blocked it, giving Zhou Wen time to retreat. The strike only injured Zhou Wen slightly and failed to penetrate his bones.
Many people's hearts tightened. Human Emperor's injury was a very bad sign.
Zhou Wen was at a disadvantage as Xiao's attacks became more and more intense. He was like an elegant swordsman as he repeatedly stabbed with the rapier in his hand. It was so fast that no one could see the sword beam.
Zhou Wen retreated as he fought, but due to his body being affected by the Calamity Domain, he constantly made mistakes and suffered injuries. More and more bloody holes appeared on the Dragon Prisoner Armor.
Zhou Wen was constantly inscribing various Essence Energy Arts, attempting to see if there was any power that could restrain the unknown power in the Calamity domain.
However, after trying all the Essence Energy Arts he was good at, none of them could restrain the unknown power.
"If my guess is correct, Xiao's Calamity Domain should be related to faith." As Zhou Wen fought, he kept thinking. Most of the time, brute force couldn't change the situation. Instead, it might make the situation worse. Zhou Wen needed to find a better solution.
Now, Zhou Wen determined that Xiao's Calamity Domain was a power that was close to faith. It had the nomological powers of a deity and the nature of a curse. It could also control a person's psyche. No matter how he thought about it, it was related to faith.
"If it's the Realm of Faith, then what kind of power can affect my body? Since I'm not his believer, my will won't be affected by it. With Truth Listener around, curses are useless against me … In theory, I should be able to withstand the power of faith. "Zhou Wen couldn't figure out the problem instantly.
However, Xiao's attacks became more and more intense. More and more wounds appeared on Zhou Wen's body as blood constantly spewed out from the blade. Furthermore, the injuries were getting closer and closer to his vitals.
As the Calamity Domain's influence on Zhou Wen was increasing, Zhou Wen's actions sometimes began to make serious mistakes. Once, one of his legs was nearly severed by Xiao.
"Save him!" Wang Lu clasped her hands together in front of her chest. She didn't dare watch any further as she closed her eyes and prayed.
"Not good. Human Emperor has been greatly affected by the Calamity Domain. His body is beginning to lose control," Xia Liuchuan said worriedly.
It wasn't just Xia Liuchuan. Even ordinary people could tell that Human Emperor's situation wasn't good. Even if one's eyesight was so poor that they couldn't see the battle, the blood that splattered out made it obvious how terrible Human Emperor's situation was.
Furthermore, the media had done a slow-motion replay. Under the slow-motion replay, one could vaguely see the scene of Human Emperor being stabbed. This made people even more worried.
There was basically silence in front of the Rubik's Cube and televisions everywhere. Some women and children couldn't help but press their palms together to pray for Human Emperor.
Most humans didn't wish for Human Emperor to lose, much less wish for Human Emperor to die.
Could it be the power of misfortune? In many myths and legends, not only can deities bestow curses, but they can also affect humans with misfortune! With a thought, Zhou Wen secretly summoned a few Lucky Companion Beasts in their equipment form and wore them inside his armor.
However, the Lucky Equipment didn't work. The frequency at which Zhou Wen's body lost control increased.
Zhou Wen immediately knew that he had been wrong. It wasn't the power of misfortune. If it was the power of misfortune, even if he didn't have enough Luck, it would still have a certain effect.
However, these Lucky Equipment were useless now. It was definitely not the power of misfortune at work.
If it's not misfortune, then what could it be? Zhou Wen's mind raced. Although the injuries on his body were constantly increasing, his thoughts remained extremely calm. He didn't show too many fluctuations. The dense sword holes on his body and the blood that flowed out didn't seem to be from him.
"That Human Emperor is rather interesting." The Sheng Deity sized up the Human Emperor with interest and said as if talking to herself, "I helped Xiao advance to the Calamity Grade with a doppelganger. Although that doppelganger is only at the Mortal Grade, it combined the power of Xiao's Guardian to form a Deity Domain. It has an absolute suppressive effect on creatures below the Calamity Grade. Even Mortal Grade creatures will be greatly affected and may even become slaves. That Human Emperor is a mere Terror-grade, yet he can last so long in the Deity domain without completely losing control of himself. It surprises me. "
"Your Excellency, there's not much time left. Will Xiao be fine?" By the side, Saint looked at the time and realized that there were less than twenty minutes left before the Rubik's Cube's countdown ended.
"That's enough. Under the Deity domain, Human Emperor has no chance of turning the tables," the Saint God said indifferently.
He was very confident because half of Xiao's Calamity-grade strength came from his avatar.
