One man and one god, blade against blade.
The human youth hung in midair, pressing down with a saber in one hand. Goddess of War Nü Ying stood in a bow stance, wielding her saber upward to parry.
Their eyes passed over the two sabers intersecting in the shape of a cross and stared directly at one another.
"Human, you possess many techniques." Nü Ying suddenly exerted force, pushing her saber upward.
For experts of the First, Second, and Third Heavens, the difference in spellcasting was not particularly great. But in terms of physical strength, it was a genuine gap of an entire Great Realm!
This Flesh and Blood Body of Nü Ying's was undoubtedly at the Heaven Realm Third Level.
Lu Ran, meanwhile, was at the Second Heaven.
He felt an immense force crash into him. Nü Ying's strength was overwhelmingly savage, utterly beyond his ability to contend with.
At that very instant, Lietian Force flooded his hand. His body, which had been tilting backward, immediately stabilized.
How keen were Nü Ying's senses?
Naturally, she detected the explosive surge in the youth's strength!
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she suddenly withdrew her strength and reached out while turning sideways.
Turning sideways allowed the downward-slashing blade to skim past her chest. Reaching out meant taking advantage of Lu Ran's downward swing to grab straight for his head.
"Whoosh~"
Lu Ran flashed away, and Nü Ying's hand caught empty air.
Nü Ying made no unnecessary movements. She seemed not even to need time to react as she turned directly around and swept her saber upward.
Clang!!
Another crisp ring sounded as the Eight Desolates Saber and the Chiji Saber smashed heavily against each other.
The human youth had indeed appeared behind her. Just like before, he had flashed to her back.
