Jin Yi's figure abruptly blurred within the black mist and Baleful Intent. In the next instant, he crossed thirty yards, his five fingers bent like Netherworld Ghost Claws as they seized straight for Chen Qing's face!
"Someone's here!" Xu Min's urgent voice transmission rang out.
Chen Qing's gaze sharpened. He understood at once.
This was absolutely not the time to clash head-on. They only needed to hold him off for a few breaths!
"Roar—!"
A Dragon Elephant Phantom roared into existence behind him. Pale golden Qi and Blood and silvery-white true essence erupted without reserve as the Jingzhe Spear lay across his chest.
At the same moment, Xu Min forcibly raised her true essence. Azure sword-light spread like a peacock fanning its tail, transforming into layer upon layer of interwoven Sword Qi nets. Together with Chen Qing's light barrier, they sought to jointly block that fatal claw.
"Break!"
Jin Yi's claw strike did not change. The pitch-black Baleful Intent instantly surged, like a boiling sea of ink, crashing savagely into the golden-blue light barrier and the net of Sword Qi.
"Honglong—!"
The tremendous crash was deafening.
The light barrier and sword net shook violently, while Chen Qing and Xu Min's Qi and Blood churned.
Working together, they truly managed to halt Jin Yi's furious claw for an instant!
Yet Jin Yi's true killing move lay hidden behind that savage claw strike.
With a sudden sweep of his sleeve, the surging black mist and Baleful Intent did not disperse. Instead, it transformed into countless threads of black Qi, fine as gossamer, which silently spread out and instantly enveloped Chen Qing from head to toe.
Carrying bone-piercing cold, the black Qi frantically eroded the pale golden glow of Qi and Blood protecting Chen Qing's body.
Xu Min wanted to sweep it away
