Killing Is Ever-Changing
Heart Fox Great Sage had no regard for martial honor—she could be called the very model of ambush and assassination. This demon Great Sage had secretly slipped into the Jade Snail Giant Boat, opening with an unparalleledly vicious move. She launched a full-force strike from behind at the azure-robed Daoist—Qu Yingguang, disguised as He Ping.
This earth-shaking blow came from the fox Great Sage. She traversed out of the void, taking the form of a black-robed Daoist, and thrust out a palm. At first, it felt like a thunderous strike—an eagle pouncing on a rabbit, a dragon god crossing the sky—erupting with maximum force as it blasted toward his back.
Yet halfway through, its power changed again. It became utterly free of violence, light and drifting, serene as wind and pale clouds, leaving no trace behind. But this strike, "World-Reversing Killing Strike," contained the power of a Loose Immortal. Its might was extraordinary, something absolutely beyond the resistance of even a peak Manifestation Realm expert.
In truth, even if Qu Yingguang, known as the "Calamity-Transcending Flying God," had been several times stronger, he could not possibly have reacted in that instant, much less found a way to defend himself.
By all reason, the instant Heart Fox Great Sage committed herself to the sneak attack, Qu Yingguang's fate of having his Primordial Spirit blasted apart and his fleshly body shattered had already been sealed. Yet at this critical moment, with a thousand pounds hanging by a single hair, a surge of power suddenly erupted from within Qu Yingguang's body.
Pop!
It was a soft sound like a bubble bursting, like spacetime itself exploding apart. Qu Yingguang's back arched, and with a bang, that immense force shook out from his body. Centered on him, ripples of space cracked open.
