Xia Ziyi looked Han Li up and down. Her aura seemed ordinary, and her cultivation did not appear to have reached Nascent Soul, yet she possessed the imposing bearing of a supreme expert, her presence extraordinary, like a celestial being.
Han Li stood with her sword in hand, its keen edge angled downward.
The treasured sword she wielded was a Human-Weapon Living Soldier from Chess Mountain Domain, Frostblade Dong Nü. Under the suppression of the formation of Dharma's decline, Dong Nü concentrated her strength within her sword body, concealing her edge. Yet her intrinsic quality remained high, and she still gleamed with a soul-chilling frost light, translucent from tip to hilt, as though forged from ten-thousand-year ice marrow.
Everyone present instinctively sensed the threat. Although their strength had been greatly diminished, their mental states and divine soul attainments seemed to remain at the Nascent Soul level, allowing them to roughly sense the dangerous aura emanating from her.
Han Li was likewise suppressed by this realm. The reverse Spirit-Gathering Array imposed on everyone by the sacred spirit grand formation, and the domain of Dharma's decline it created, treated friend and foe alike. Yet the vast majority of her strength came from the Puppet Dao's Enhancement Modification. Li Chen had personally refined a Celestial Maiden body for her, incorporating the properties of the strongest spirit-repelling treasured materials he currently possessed. Her power was sealed within, concentrated but unreleased, giving her reserves far surpassing everyone else's.
Clang!
The treasured sword rang softly. Han Li raised her arm and suddenly slashed.
In the flash of flint and lightning, blood spurted from the chest of Nan Wu, one of the Immortal Alliance's Nascent Soul experts. Even his right lung had been gashed open.
"What a fast sword!" Everyone startled and hurriedly scattered.
