Soul Slaughtering Blood Blade

Hake took a step forward and blocked Liliath, crossing the two Black Daggers in his hands as they collided with the Fire Feather Phoenix Eagle's massive claw.

Boom!

Hake's defense lasted only a moment. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.

Even when pushed to the limit, his Combat Strength only barely reached the Seventh Sequence. He was still far inferior to the Eighth Sequence Fire Feather Phoenix Eagle.

After all, Hake was an assassin, not the type to charge headlong into battle like Gu Ding and Bigge. His ability to face enemies head-on was already weaker, and clashing directly with a monster stronger than himself meant losing every advantage in combat. A single strike had already wounded him.

The Fire Feather Phoenix Eagle did not stop after failing to land its blow. With a beat of its wings, countless tiny hurricanes swept toward Liliath.

Liliath also retreated rapidly. A purple rifle suddenly appeared over her shoulder, and with smooth, flowing movements, she raised it and began firing wildly.

She had chosen to attack with a firearm because her soul strength was far inferior to her opponent's. Forcing herself to use illusion techniques would not only fail to affect it, but would also very likely cause backlash against herself.

"A gunner? Interesting..." Baden's gaze never left Liliath. His interest in her was clearly growing.

A rain of bullets carrying Liliath's divine source bombarded the hurricanes. But Liliath's Combat Strength was only at the Fourth Sequence, and the intensity of her divine source was far weaker than the Fire Feather Phoenix Eagle's. Though her attack looked impressive, its actual effect was mediocre.

The wave-like hurricane tide weakened only slightly, but did not slow down at all. As another wave surged up, it still swallowed Liliath whole.
