The woman pointed straight at the ray of light, sending a dark gleam into it. The ray immediately dimmed and slowed.
But after that brief pause, it pursued her even faster, shining more brightly than before.
In the distance, Chen Lin stopped short.
He looked back in bewilderment. What she had just used was actually the Soul-Destroying Finger!
