At the sight, Huo Hai thought, Just as I expected. These firebirds were not real creatures, after all, but constructs forcibly created through a spell. The spell was simply intricate enough to hold them firmly together.
Although the Blood-Shaking Thorn was not particularly powerful, it could still deliver a decent attack once imbued with the power of heaven and earth. If it struck an Earth Grade expert, however, it would probably struggle even to penetrate their spiritual energy shield.
Against these firebirds, though, it could easily shake apart all the spiritual energy and power of heaven and earth that formed them. Once scattered, that power naturally could no longer be controlled by mental power. The Blood-Shaking Thorn really was an excellent way to deal with the firebirds. Since it worked, Huo Hai held nothing back. He kept his sword ready in his right hand while continuously unleashing Blood-Shaking Thorns with his left.
Seeing Huo Hai destroy her firebirds one after another, Red Sparrow's eyes began to blaze with fury. Having cultivated the Thousand Birds Art for so long, she naturally knew its weakness: each individual firebird was not strong enough.
But there were so many firebirds, and she could make them explode at any moment, so that weakness hardly counted as one. Who could have known she would encounter such a strange attack as the Blood-Shaking Thorn today?
It could be called a ranged attack, yet the Blood-Shaking Thorn itself had little penetrating or destructive power. Its vibrating force simply happened to counter the firebirds perfectly. Before they could approach, the firebirds were struck and destroyed one after another. At that distance, making them explode accomplished little, but getting closer was impossible. For a time, the two remained locked in a stalemate.
Watching from afar, Hao Chen's brows twitched involuntarily.
