Zhu Daohe's armor shattered as she was sent flying. Half of her left hand and a small section of her shoulder had vanished. Clutching her mangled body, she struggled to evade the pursuit of the two sword-wielding Celestial Officers. Fury surged in my heart. I reached out and grabbed the winged bat's wings, intending to forcibly erase the imprint, only to find that this winged bat was not as easy to release as the Thunder Chariot before. It seemed that between opponents of the same rank, a certain amount of time was inevitably needed to remove an imprint.
Li Tian'guan could no longer fight, and when the other two men carrying Sky-Breaking Guns saw their captain gravely wounded, shock flashed across their faces as they immediately split off to rescue him.
Taking advantage of the opening, I used Shrinking Space to fly toward Zhu Daohe's aid. However, she had already been seriously wounded, while the two Judicial Officers riding winged bats were incredibly fast. By the time I reached Zhu Daohe, I could only watch helplessly as the two Judicial Officers cut her in half with their swords!
"You're courting death!" I roared. Sword Qi of Space-Time instantly slew the Judicial Officer who had killed Zhu Daohe, cleaving him in two from the crown of his head. Then I turned toward the Celestial Officer who was taking out the God-Burying Coffin and preparing to collect Zhu Daohe's spirit body!
The dual-sword-wielding Celestial Officer had already begun chanting the God-Burying Coffin incantation. Zhu Daohe let out a scream and was about to be locked inside when I thrust out with my sword in a fit of rage, and Sword Qi of Space-Time immediately thundered toward him!
But that Celestial Officer gritted his teeth. He seemed unwilling to evade the sword completely.
