That's How Body Tempering Works-You Wouldn't Understand Unless You Practiced It

Clang—

At the sound of the saber slowly leaving its sheath, the White Salamander's body gave a violent shudder.

"Spare me!"

"It hasn't been easy for this humble demon to cultivate. Please show mercy and withdraw your Divine Ability!"

It strained to roll its eyes upward.

A wall of water towered over ten zhang high. The river roared and surged, while daylight spilled through the narrow gap above.

Its gaze passed over the spotless silver robe, but it could not make out the woman's face.

All it could see were her eyes, faintly glowing red and so indifferent they made its heart quail.

This madwoman never intended to leave me alive!

If she won't give me a way out...

Then we'll die together!

The two fleshy whiskers beside its cheeks quivered violently, and its throat swelled like a ball.

At the very instant Jiang Yuechu drew her saber, the salamander forced its head up with a sudden burst of strength.

"Die!!!"

Pfft—!!!

Thick, foul-smelling, dark-green venom shot from its mouth.

The distance was too close.

There was no way to dodge.

The venom splashed across Jiang Yuechu's entire face.

Sizzle, sizzle—

Billows of white smoke rose, instantly hiding the young woman's face.

Wild joy flashed through the White Salamander's eyes.

Got her!

Forget flesh and blood—even steel refined a hundred times would melt into pus at the slightest touch.

No matter how mighty your Divine Abilities are, can you live without a head?

But...

In the next instant, something felt wrong.

The foot planted on its head had not budged.

The pressure had not even eased a fraction.

What's going on?

When the white smoke cleared, venom was sliding down her fair, delicate cheeks.

It hissed and sizzled.

Yet it had not burned through even a layer of skin.
