Darkness spread, and the Abyss Mouth yawned like the maw of a beast. Xuan Shan's robes billowed as the light, quick sound of a blade slicing through the air rang out.
Whoosh...
Blood Saber Qi flashed like lightning, cleaving through the gloom with thunderous force as it slashed toward the light!
Wherever the saber qi passed, all light was extinguished. The boundless radiance seemed to be peeled apart layer by layer like sand, as though every ray of light would be split in two by this single slash!
But just then, a crimson-gold feather shot out, pointing straight at the saber qi.
BOOM!!!
Amid a deafening, earth-shaking crash, the saber qi shattered inch by inch, bursting apart in an instant as blood mist filled the air.
The blazing flames that had originally wrapped around the crimson-gold feather also went out in the blink of an eye. It drifted downward as if spiraling through the air.
Golden light flickered. A slender, graceful figure swept across the sky and appeared atop the falling golden feather in the blink of an eye.
"Xu Xiao" seemed weightless as she stepped lightly onto the feather and glided through the air toward Pei Ling.
Purple and blue light interwove above the heavens, flickering countless times as Tribulation Lightning rumbled and crashed down like an endless waterfall.
The crimson-gold palace robes did not hesitate in the slightest as they plunged straight into the Tribulation Lightning.
Brilliant flames roared and surged, wantonly flying in every direction. As boundless radiance spread, it incinerated every bolt of Tribulation Lightning that touched "Xu Xiao."
In an instant, "Xu Xiao" had arrived before Pei Ling.
Without the slightest delay, her slender, pale hand transformed into a sharp claw wrapped in Great Sun True Fire and thrust straight at Pei Ling's heart!
