Pei Ling's eyes flashed as he swiftly surveyed his surroundings. The wind, water, and thunder around him seemed enraged, roaring and surging as they attacked from every direction.
His black robe snapped in the wind, and his dark hair whipped about. Blood Saber Qi constantly formed at his side, swirling and surging as it cleaved through the incoming gales, floodwaters, and thunder.
Suddenly, a radiant dragon claw shot out of the storm to Pei Ling's left, swift as lightning, and reached for him!
Pei Ling didn't hesitate. A solid-looking arc of Blood Saber Qi immediately slashed out!
Clang!!!
The saber qi collided head-on with the dragon claw. The metallic crash rang out like a hammer blow, bringing the surrounding wind, water, and thunder to a sudden halt.
The two separated at once. The dragon claw instantly struck again from behind Pei Ling!
A piercing whistle cut through the air, and Pei Ling's saber qi immediately slashed toward it!
Clang!
Another utterly straightforward collision. Golden light flashed, and the dragon claw withdrew once more, reappearing beneath Pei Ling in the blink of an eye...
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...
In an instant, saber qi and dragon claw collided tens of millions of times!
Countless sparks scattered like a shower of fire.
Pei Ling fought with saber qi alone, without drawing his blade. The Dragon Girl relied only on her raw physical strength, not yet using a single immortal art. Both seemed to understand how terrifying their opponent was, and were still testing each other!
But just as the Dragon Girl's claw reached for Pei Ling once more, all things beneath heaven abruptly froze, like a painting.
The howling gale, the surging flood, the roaring thunder, the glittering, razor-sharp dragon claw... Everything came to a standstill, as if frozen in time.
