Di Xin casually swung his sword.
But his body was already darting backward at full speed.
He knew full well that after the two monsters had exchanged words he couldn't understand, they had still managed to emit green light when faced with the Pine Wood Sword, which was specifically made to slay demons. That meant their ability was no ordinary trick.
He hadn't expected this one strike to completely break their attack, but he had still put all his strength into it, channeling his vital energy into the Pine Wood Sword.
This was the first time he had used his vital energy to wield the Pine Wood Sword. As the energy flowed into it, a soft blue light suddenly shone from the blade, enveloping him.
The eerie green light clashed with the blue glow and immediately broke apart into wisps of vapor that dispersed into the soil and vanished.
Seeing this, Di Xin was overcome with joy. He even felt a little more favorably toward Yun Zhongzi. Fortunately, he hadn't used the sword to kill Daji back then. Otherwise, he would have been in serious trouble now.
The Pine Wood Sword was a natural enemy of demonic beasts, giving Di Xin something to rely on. He withdrew the vital energy empowering it, held the sword across his chest, and looked at the two monsters.
Unexpectedly, the little monster showed no surprise at all. It simply watched Di Xin calmly, as if he were a delicious strawberry cake.
The big monster showed little emotion, either. It then spat out another stream of green light with a "pfft." This beam was clearly much smaller than the previous one.
Di Xin saw this and immediately had a few suspicions. Perhaps... the monster had only a limited amount of green light to spit out!
