Sacred Rakshasa wanted to use her wings to kill Yuan Gang, who was locked in a frontal struggle with her. But her wings had suffered severe damage, and the joints in them could no longer bend smoothly.
She also sensed someone behind her, but Yuan Gang had her wrists firmly locked in his grasp.
Niu Youdao flashed in and pressed a palm against Sacred Rakshasa's back, driving a spell into her body to dissolve the demonic power within her.
By past precedent, Sacred Rakshasa would have felt comforted by this and quieted down. But not this time. Instead, it provoked fierce resistance, and her tattered wings slapped backward.
The force of that slap was no trifling matter either—enough to kill someone.
Fortunately, Niu Youdao had prepared for this. He knew that Sacred Rakshasa's state of mind upon leaving the Butterfly Dream Illusory Realm this time would likely be far less calm than before, which was why he had specifically brought Yuan Gang along.
Before her wings could sweep in, Niu Youdao had already drawn his Precious Sword with his other hand. He laid it crosswise against Sacred Rakshasa's back, its ends braced against the hard bones of her wings. Her wings repeatedly clapped backward, yet could not close together.
Sacred Rakshasa seemed to have fallen into madness. With her hands restrained and unable to attack, and her wings unable to strike, she twisted and swept out with a kick.
Niu Youdao had guarded against this from the start. He was already upside down in midair, yet his hands did not leave her back.
Sacred Rakshasa could do nothing to him. Growing crazed like a demon, she shook her body violently. Given her strength and the speed of her movements, it became difficult for Niu Youdao to keep going.
