Seeing how tenacious the Devil Qi Barrier was, many cultivators sighed inwardly—this really was going to be difficult!
The Broken Blade, however, was clearly enraged as well. It viciously slashed down again at the breach that had yet to heal.
What happened next left everyone dumbfounded: the breach vanished in an instant.
Only after the Broken Blade struck again and opened a new breach did one cultivator realize what had happened. "The previous breach... was moved!"
Everyone followed his pointing finger and discovered another breach more than a hundred kilometers away. It was rapidly healing.
Judging by its width, length, and how far it had healed, there was no doubt that it was the breach left by the first slash.
Against the pitch-black barrier, however, the breach was not particularly conspicuous, which was why no one had spotted it immediately.
Clearly, battered though the Broken Blade was, the damage it inflicted was anything but easy to repair.
Even a Heavenly Demon at the Out-of-Body Realm could not manage that.
Then again, the enemy's ability to move the breach away instantly was ample proof of its strength.
The Broken Blade remained unmoved. Its second slash fell, opening another breach, and a third followed immediately...
It had fixed on one spot and kept slashing without pause, regardless of how the enemy responded.
The Devil Qi Barrier's response remained unchanged as well. After moving the first breach away, it moved the second, then the third...
In the blink of an eye, more than ten slashes had fallen, and over a dozen breaches had been moved away.
The two sides seemed locked in a contest of stubbornness, tirelessly attacking and defending the same spot.
The watching cultivators, however, all believed that the Broken Blade was being stubborn, not the Heavenly Demon.
