The jade pendant activated for me, and purple smoke suddenly billowed forth. Carried along by it, the sword unleashed thunder weighing ten thousand jun! Jin Slave grunted and appeared behind me, her charred hand reaching for me!
If not for my Wife Sister's advance warning, I truly would never have believed there could be such a death-defying madwoman in this world. Thus, without the slightest hesitation, I drew a sword with my left hand and slashed behind me!
The sword stopped right before Jin Slave's forehead, but her gritted expression and body faded away like a ghost, finally reappearing some distance away. This time, she could not help looking me up and down.
I snorted, tossed the sword in my hand toward her, and said, "If I wanted to kill you, I would have countless ways to do it. But if I want to save you, there is only one way. Take this sword, and let's go."
Jin Slave frowned slightly. It seemed she finally believed me, but I felt a burst of irritation. Clearly, I had won her trust this time only through my wife's cheating. Otherwise, if we really fought, I truly would not be her match.
That ghostly art of shrinking space was different from mine. Its range was not as great, but it was faster and more freewheeling. This was definitely a rapid space-shrinking technique developed for battle, completely different from Taiyi's version, which was used for escape. Even if I refined my own technique countless times, there was probably still room to improve it!
Jin Slave surprised me at every turn and left me feeling defeated at every turn. Her battle tactics were extremely advanced and brilliant, worthy of my study. Of course, that did not mean I had no chance of fighting her.
