Pretending To Be A Boss

Chapter 27: The Ordinary, Weak, and Kind Humans_2



Facing the Shiling Beast.

Tang Feiji glared at Shiling, but eventually turned his head to look at the ten lion-like Lei Xiao.

"Foolish and arrogant Azure Dragon, you're willing to let me crawl on your back and face me alone, it seems you're no ordinary human."

The Shiling Beast was indifferent to the dragon; it had been hundreds of years since any creature had gotten close to it.

This confidence allowed it to look down upon the world.

"Everything is relative, and relative to you, I am just an ordinary human, plain and mediocre, weak and kind," Tang Xian said.

"You have many secrets within you. You may rely on your powerful methods, but against time, all of your methods are ineffective."

"Is that so? The common understanding of time, or rather the widely spread belief, is that reaching the speed of light, one can witness time come to a halt, and if one were to surpass the speed of light, then time would flow backward. In reality, that's impossible. It's just the scenes before one's eyes moving in reverse, but time continues marching on.

It never stops; the transformation of matter doesn't reverse either. So, unfortunately, even if you run around a tree faster than light, you can't do any unspeakable things to yourself."

Tang Xian casually joked.

The Shiling Beast didn't understand what was regrettable about this and didn't know about these things; it just sniffed the scent emanating from Tang Xian:

"Interesting, you indeed have human blood flowing within you. I think the long-eared ancient apes in the court will find dissecting you very interesting."

"So you come from the Court of Beasts. I'm quite curious about that place; I initially thought the world of the Eden Civilization and the Court of Beasts was a single power, but it seems not. This world is more fragmented than the human world."

Tang Xian deliberately spoke quite loudly; he didn't want to explain but hoped Song Que and Li Zheng could hear some key elements.

Of course, most people were still derailed by Tang Xian's recent self-deprecatory remarks.

"I am one of the Judgment Chiefs. You're lucky. Your body may contain the secrets the ancient apes covet the most. I will not drain you dry."

After uttering these words, Shiling took a few steps forward, and with each step it took, the large crowd behind it took several steps back.

But soon, the people were blocked by a huge ice wall.

The smaller the battlefield, the higher the likelihood for Tang Feiji to hit the Lei Xiao.

The combined attacks of the ten Lei Xiao also struggled to inflict damage on it.

But just like flies, despite their weakness, they were extremely annoying.

If possible, Tang Feiji would rather face the Shiling Beast, which was dozens of times stronger.

This ice wall not only reduced the range of activity for the Lei Xiao but also served as protection for the humans.

Because any attack from a calamity-level creature would cause immense destruction.

With no room to retreat, everyone stopped under the hundreds of meters tall and seemingly several tens of meters thick ice wall.

They could feel the destructive energy ravaging the other side of the ice wall.

But everyone's gaze was fixed on Tang Xian.

As the crowd retreated, Tang Xian did not. Instead, he took a step forward.

"I have an aversion to the word 'judgment.' If it is a machine, it should be properly used by people, and if it is a wild beast, it should be properly domesticated by people."

Tang Xian took another step forward. But this step was not completed.

He lifted his right foot but before it could land, his figure was frozen in place.

The Shiling Beast sneered:

"You indeed have a vast life force, but unfortunately for you, you've met me, and all of these lives shall be mine! Once I've drained them, I'll deal with that dragon. And I will ravage you to show the dragon what it means to be an enemy of the Master of Time!"

Calamity-level boss creatures are rare.

Now Tang Xian understood the reason for the pride of the holy beast species.

The Azure Dragon possessed nearly the power to control all elements, and its resistance to the elements was also extremely high.

And Shiling could slow down the movement of objects.

Tang Xian was now immobilized.

However, the information transmitted in his mind convinced him that the existence of this domain was to his advantage.

But he needed a bit of time. Just a little bit.

Currently, all he could do was hold this posture and watch the Shiling Beast.

Tang Xian was somewhat annoyed.

Because he couldn't speak. As a member of the Analysis Faction, a qualified trash talker, this agony was worse than having his sesame oil stolen.

But this Shiling was too arrogant.

It disdained to kill the people within the domain by other methods, instead slowly torturing them.

Even though Tang Xian couldn't see their lifeforce, after so long, he still noticed some people become more haggard than when he had first seen them.

Perhaps their bodies were already very weak.

But within this domain, the trajectory of things was so slow that although they were nearly drained, they seemed normal from a distance.

"Warning, the current damage sustained is 5 percent of the maximum lifeforce."

Every once in a while, this message came from his mind.

Tang Xian could feel his vitality slowly slipping away but then forcefully regaining strength.

This was not new to him.

But those enveloped within the Time Stop Domain were not so lucky.

Tang Xian made a calculation and realized that within this domain, one would die in roughly five minutes.

And since his arrival, five minutes had already passed.

Tang Xian wanted to shake his head but couldn't move.
