Li Yan knew well that a prolonged defense was bound to fail. Frowning, she unleashed sword gang again and again, cutting down one charging enemy after another.
But she soon discovered that these half-demons possessed far greater vitality than ordinary Spirit Tamers. Unless struck in a vital spot, they seemed entirely unaffected and continued scrambling forward, attacking like mad.
They knew neither exhaustion, pain, nor fear. Like walking corpses, they relied on their powerful physiques to fight without rest, showing no intention of retreating even when drenched in blood.
Some demonized warriors suffered grievous wounds without damage to their limbs. Even after the last of their blood had drained away, they fought to the bitter end with demonic essence gang baleful intent resembling black smoke, continuing to attack her as though driven by an irreconcilable blood feud.
Li Yan's swordsmanship was a secret sword cultivation technique inherited from the Li Gate, called the Red Dust Sword Canon.
This path primarily cultivated the mind. It was a classical sword discipline that emphasized harmony between moves and intent. Before its sword intent could commune with heaven and earth and influence the power of the laws, its greatest weakness lay in its power against physical things.
All along, she had roamed the martial world at her leisure and had never faced so many crazed enemies. For a time, she found herself scrambling, struggling to hold them off.
Fortunately, Wen Qingfei saw her predicament and came to her aid in time. With a Swarm Assault, over a hundred Thunderflame Bees rained down, blasting a great mass of demonized warriors off their feet.
Wen Qingfei primarily cultivated the Desolate God Thunderflame Bee, a Primordial Mutant. This spirit creature contained tremendous power, and when driven by the forbidden Spirit Burst Art, it was even more extraordinary.
