Mu You had absolutely no time to react before he was hit by a gigantic force, which sent him flying and reducing his HP significantly. At the same time, the girl in his hand was flung away as well.
The good news was that Mu You's reflexes were quite quick. Still mid-air, he reached into his pocket subconsciously and pressed on the pocket watch.
Everything rewound. Mu You returned to the time just before he entered the forest.
Armed with his warning this time, he finally managed to be alert towards the right side of the bushes.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the black figure sprung out once again.
This time, Mu You got a clear look. It was a muscle-bound man, topless, enshrouded in a black aura similar to the Shadow Ghost hunting from the rear.
However, unlike the Shadow Ghost from behind whose black aura engulfed the entire body and transformed it into a five-meter-tall titan, this man only had a thin layer of black energy wrapped around his body like a coat.
