Boom!
A deafening crash rang out.
The Extra-Long Halberd struck Apophis's right hand. Apophis raised that hand to block, and a shockwave erupted all around them.
The Extra-Long Halberd was made of Nether Mist. Now great clouds of it scattered, only to be annihilated in the shockwave.
Although Nether Mist generally no longer vanished after Zhang Ping completed its ability, it could still be depleted when an enemy was too strong.

Until now, Lin Renmei had been like a one-punch hero: no
