Where had this power come from?
Gu Huaibei was puzzled. She slowed down, her eyelids narrowing as she carefully watched Jiang Lingyin and her master, Ning Bingyue.
Her powers of observation were remarkable. Even though the two had deliberately acted as if nothing were amiss, she had still noticed the clue!
Those two had been affected, just like her!
The Snow Feather Ice Sparrow followed close beside Gu Huaibei. Chen Changming had ordered it to protect and assist her.
Although it sensed the inexplicable power pressing down on it, it didn't think much of it.
Gu Huaibei had only slowed down, so it took just a few breaths for her to realize that the power grew stronger as they climbed higher up the mountain.
In other words, the force bearing down on Jiang Lingyin and Ning Bingyue was even stronger!
This discovery left Gu Huaibei confused for a moment.
What was Jiang Lingyin trying to do?

Just as the thought crossed her mind—
Jiang Lingyin and Ning Bingyue suddenly attacked Gu Huaibei and the Snow Feather Ice Sparrow at the same time. The assault came in a mighty wave, swordlight shooting toward them like a dense shower of raindrops.
"Not good."
Gu Huaibei's expression suddenly changed.
Under the suppressive force, Jiang Lingyin and her master's attacks had become much faster. That meant their power had increased as well!
Gu Huaibei fought back with all her might.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their swordlight clashed, and the impact sent Gu Huaibei flying backward.
The Snow Feather Ice Sparrow was also lightly wounded, and a good number of its feathers fell away.
"Gu Huaibei, I have the advantage of terrain. What can you do to me?"
Jiang Lingyin's mocking voice rang
