With a thunderous boom, the old woman was blasted backward!
However, the old woman was not killed by the thunderfire. She slapped away the lightning beside her, then, realizing what had happened, hurriedly struck back. A streak of azure light shot toward the pursuing Zijiang!
Hiss!
Even among those of the same generation, Zijiang was far faster than the old woman. The azure light passed by her in an instant, and before the old woman could attack again, Zijiang seized the opening. With a bang, the old woman was struck by lightning once more. The first lightning strike had not failed to injure her; the opponent's Qiongtian immortal power had simply been abundant enough to withstand one blow. But after being struck again, the old woman was in serious pain. Her skin immediately turned charred black, showing that her magic power had not spread quickly enough to heal her entire body.
One had to understand that even at the Ninth Heaven—in other words, at the Immortal-Mortal Realm—one needed cultivation at least in the upper third ranks for the physical body to recover in an instant. The old woman had therefore been severely injured by that strike.
Zijiang intended to continue attacking, but the old woman was no fool. Knowing she could not win, while Pan Shu and I still hovered in the distance, she immediately fled up the mountain!
But Zijiang gave her no chance to escape and immediately pursued her. The old woman was slower, and soon the two went from one ahead of the other to running side by side. In her panic, the old woman quickly took out several treasures the size of walnuts and threw them at Zijiang, who was striking out with golden light!
After several bangs, a cloud of mist immediately engulfed the area
