Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

As Zhao Shufang finished speaking, the pressure in the air suddenly increased, as if the entire world had frozen in an instant. Black fog quickly gathered around them, growing thicker and thicker, almost obscuring vision. A cold, deep voice echoed from all directions, deafening.

"You, can't escape after all."

The voice carried an inexplicable majesty, as if it could penetrate the soul, making people feel extremely depressed in an instant. A hint of determination flashed in Zhao Shufang's eyes. She gripped the talisman tightly in her hand, and could almost feel the surge of spiritual power in her body.

"Are you ready?" she asked Lu Lingyuan in a low voice.

Lu Lingyuan didn't answer, but nodded vigorously. A calm glint flickered in his eyes, a composure that seemed to tell Zhao Shufang that, despite the complex and dangerous situation, he was ready to face it all with her.

"We have no choice." Zhao Shufang whispered. Although her tone was firm, it also carried a hint of deep emotion.

She knew the enemy they faced now wasn't just the black fog and the power of the "Dominator," but also a terrifying existence already bound by the distortions of time and space. If they couldn't gain a firm foothold in this battle, all their efforts would be in vain.

"Your struggle is in vain." The voice rang out again, this time even colder and carrying a strong sense of oppression. "From the beginning to the end, you have never understood that the power of the 'Dominator' is irreversible."

Zhao Shufang closed her eyes and whispered a spell. The spiritual power in her body instantly gathered, and the talisman in her hand began to flash with a dazzling light. She felt the energy fluctuations around her, as if every inch of air was resisting her power.

"We don't believe in fate." Zhao Shufang said softly with a firm tone.

At this moment, the black fog suddenly surged, quickly condensing into a blurry figure. The figure gradually became clearer, eventually transforming into the image of a tall man. The man was wearing a tattered black robe, his face covered by a mask, and his eyes were empty, as if containing endless darkness and despair.

"Your resistance is meaningless," the avatar of the Overlord whispered, his voice carrying an indescribable sense of oppression. "You will never be able to escape my control."

Zhao Shufang sneered, the light in her eyes becoming more determined: "If there were no choice, how could we have the determination we have now?"

She suddenly moved, incredibly fast. Almost instantly, she ripped through space and rushed towards the avatar of the "Dominator." The talisman in her hand rapidly shifted in mid-air, releasing waves of spiritual energy. Immediately afterwards, a powerful airflow arose, carrying endless pressure towards the black fog.

The incarnation of the 'Dominator' did not panic, but sneered and waved his arm. The black mist instantly condensed into a huge barrier, blocking Zhao Shufang's attack firmly.

"Do you think you can shake me with just this little bit of power?" The Ruler sneered.

However, Zhao Shufang didn't stop, knowing this was just the beginning. She took a deep breath, and her spiritual power surged out again. The talisman transformed into a golden light, shooting straight at the black fog barrier.

At the same time, Lu Lingyuan was not willing to be outdone. He quickly gathered a powerful airflow in his hand, and with a low roar, rushed towards the incarnation of the "Dominator".

"You can control time and space, but you cannot control the beliefs in our hearts." Lu Lingyuan's voice was loud and powerful.

The avatar of the Overlord snorted coldly, seemingly taking their combined attack for granted. The black mist surged again, as if gathering all its power into a massive vortex, intent on swallowing everything.

Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan felt the force tearing everything apart, and a huge sense of crisis rose in their hearts. But they did not retreat, still standing firmly in place, ready to face this ultimate battle.

"We won't give up." Zhao Shufang said calmly. The talisman in her hand changed again, turning into a golden dragon shadow, breaking through the black fog and heading straight for the incarnation of the 'ruler'.

At this moment, a pair of dead-gray eyes emerged from beneath the mask of the 'Dominator' avatar, scanning the two of them coldly. "Your struggle truly disappoints me."

As it spoke, it suddenly pushed its palm forward, and the black mist instantly condensed into an invisible force, rushing straight towards Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan.

"This is your last chance." The Overlord's voice was cold and indifferent. "From now on, you will never be able to resist again."

But at this moment, Zhao Shufang suddenly shouted, "Don't retreat!"

She once again focused all her spiritual energy on the talisman, unleashing all her strength, practically pouring all the energy in her body into it. The talisman transformed into a brilliant beam of light, breaking through the Dominator's black mist attack and passing straight through.

"This is - a talisman that defies heaven!" Zhao Shufang's voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth, full of shock and determination.

The collision of the black mist and the golden light brought about a massive explosion, instantly ripping the entire space apart. Light and black mist intertwined, and a massive energy wave swept across the surroundings.

Under this violent impact, Zhao Shufang felt that every inch of her skin was under tremendous pressure, almost unable to bear it. But a glimmer of unyieldingness flashed in her eyes. She knew that this was the moment that would decide everything.

"This battle is not just a fight against the power of the 'Dominator', but a challenge to our beliefs." Zhao Shufang muttered to herself, gritting her teeth and trying her best.

Light and black mist intertwined into an indistinguishable vortex, spreading across the sky. The two seemed to have been drawn into this vast vortex—a final, fateful battle had quietly begun.
