The sword strike that should have landed without fail somehow failed to happen after the two figures crossed paths!
"What happened?"
Bai Chen looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand. It had clearly struck her, yet there hadn't even been the sensation of hitting anything?

"Bai... Chen?"
Wendy slowly turned to Bai Chen and spoke hesitantly.
"Great! Wendy, you're conscious! Steady your mind and don't let Honkai interfere with you!"
Dr. Maki was currently occupying the Divine Key. Otherwise, he could have just slapped Dignity onto Wendy's head and solved everything!

"Don't worry. Let go in peace. Leave everything to me now."
Flames blazed fiercely around Bai
