In midair, the Thunder Roaring Cangming Tower landed steadily in Vance's hand.
"Master, I got it!"
Vance raised the Pagoda high and shouted excitedly.
Lightning patterns lit up across the tower, instantly drawing thunderclouds across the sky.
The lightning power within Vance surged dramatically.
Behind the clouds, that divine consciousness let out a muffled groan.
It was clearly suffering as well.
Lan Jinghe's eyes narrowed as she sensed that something was wrong.
The enemy was hiding in the dark, with Griffin and Kiran at his side.
If they truly became entangled in battle, facing three enemies alone would put them at far too great a disadvantage.
Her figure flashed, and she instantly swept over to Vance's side.
She grabbed the back of Vance's collar and flashed back beside Zhong Shenxiu.
"Zhong Shenxiu, don't get drawn into a prolonged fight."
Lan Jinghe spoke in a low voice.

If they really forced that old bastard out, along with two Peak Quasi-Gods, they would be finished today.
Zhong Shenxiu nodded.
They had only come to scout the way ahead in the first place.
Their purpose had already been achieved.

Zhong Shenxiu shouted softly.
His right hand drew the Light-Imperial Ninja Blade.
Clang—
The golden blade instantly erupted with an incomparably brilliant radiance.
This inconspicuous weapon he usually carried at his side finally revealed the splendor a light-aspect holy artifact should possess.
Holy Dragon Sky-Severing Slash!
Zhong Shenxiu gripped the blade with both hands and slashed fiercely at the void.
Rip—
Space was split
