Standing Tall and Proud

721 Standing Tall and Proud

That eighth-order Abyssal Demon was like an evil spirit crawling out of the abyss. Its body gradually recovered amid the mangled flesh, every inch of its skin radiating a suffocating aura of darkness.

Its eyes were like two rubies burning with wicked flames, fixed tightly on Xiao Lingying as if they meant to devour her.

Xiao Lingying's sword still shimmered with a bone-chilling gleam, and there was not the slightest trace of fear in her eyes—only resolve and determination. Xiaoqing was at her side, transforming into countless azure afterimages. Like agile spirits, they whirled around the Abyssal Demon, causing its attacks to miss again and again.

At this point, both Xiao Lingying and Xiaoqing had reached the mid-to-late seventh-order realm in terms of displayed strength.

Working together, they had actually managed to heavily injure an eighth-order outsider.

High in the sky, the radiance of spells intertwined into a magnificent yet cruel painting. The other cultivators unleashed their full power, spells pouring down like a torrential rain, only to turn into nothingness again and again before the Abyssal Demon's barrier of demonic energy.

The Abyssal Demon's roar was like a dirge from hell, filling everyone's hearts with despair.

Xiao Lingying's swordsmanship flowed like drifting clouds and running water, yet carried the resolute determination of burning one's boats. Every strike of her sword was like a struggle against fate, a battle with darkness. Xiaoqing's illusions were like lighthouses in the fog, guiding her way and allowing her to find the Abyssal Demon's weakness even in the darkness.

The situation suddenly reached another stalemate.

Suddenly, Li Yifeng and Zhang Yize arrived first on their swords. Each unleashed a supreme sword art, and under their fierce bombardment, cracks began to appear in the Abyssal Demon's barrier of demonic energy.
