Even Yu Chi Yan Hong, the more ambush-minded of the two bosses, had not expected Ye Weiming to attack without a word—and to strike with a deadly killing move right from the start, without the slightest hesitation.
Startled, she advanced rather than retreated. Her bare right toes jabbed fiercely against the ground and twisted, sending her entire body spinning at high speed. As she spun, flames driven by her inner energy surged from her slender jade-like hands, spiraling outward in every direction.
Her movements were graceful and beautiful, like a dance, but the layers of expanding flame vortexes pressed against one another, generating immense repulsive force.
Not one of the three hundred and sixty Flying Knives Ye Weiming had unleashed with the Parting Sword Style could break through the defense of her flaming vortex.
This flaming vortex was one of Yu Chi Yan Hong's signature killing moves, called Starfire Sky. Its firelight was like threads and ribbons, able to expand or contract at will, combining offense and defense. It was exceptionally formidable!
The moment she unleashed this move, Yu Chi Yan Hong shielded herself completely. Still spinning, she then rammed toward Ye Weiming, intending to sweep this fierce opponent into the starfire and slowly torture him to death.
Seeing his killing move blocked, Ye Weiming instead wore an amused smile. While continuing to control the remaining Flying Knives in a rhythmic barrage against the flaming vortex, he discreetly pinched one knife from among the countless blades between his left thumb and middle finger. He silently watched Yu Chi Yan Hong draw nearer without saying a word.
Naturally, Yu Chi Yan Hong had no idea Ye Weiming was plotting something. Seeing him persist in attacking with those Flying Knives despite knowing they were ineffective, she assumed he had no other tricks
