Xie Xie, who had long been waiting for an opportunity nearby, merged into the space like a ghost and instantly appeared along Tang Wutong's falling trajectory.
A cold curve lifted at the corner of his lips. His right leg swung out like a steel whip, carrying a shriek that tore through space as he viciously kicked Tang Wutong in the waist.
"Bang!"
Another dull thud rang out.
Tang Wutong's descent was forcibly diverted. Like a cannonball fired from its barrel, she traced a miserable arc through the air before crashing squarely onto the massive formation at the center of the valley, landing right beside Chen Xinjie, whose eyes were vacant and whose aura was strange.
She lay curled up there, drenched in blood, her divine radiance dimmed. Even moving a finger had become incomparably difficult.
Almost at the same time, the battle on the other side was also nearing its end.
Wu Sidu and the Ice Golem Titan joined forces to launch their final fierce assault on the heavily wounded Ah Yin.
Netherworld Assault and Titan's berserk power worked together perfectly, completely shattering Ah Yin's already crumbling defenses.
"Whoosh—"
Ah Yin flew away like a kite with its string cut, sent soaring by a heavy punch from the Ice Golem Titan. She too fell precisely toward the center of the formation, crashing down beside Tang Wutong and splashing up icy fragments and mud.
The two women, Tang Wutong, the Goddess of Beauty, and Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, had both been severely wounded by the combined assault. Like lambs awaiting slaughter, they lay at the heart of the Descent Ceremony.
The torrential rain continued to fall, washing the bloodstains and frost from the vast land, yet unable to cleanse the pervasive brutality and killing intent.
