Qin Minghui sensed the sudden sword light and looked down, then stared at the person who had attacked her in disbelief...
A cold glint flashed through Gu Changdao's eyes. He reversed his grip and slashed at Qin Minghui's neck...
But unexpectedly!
Pfft! Runes of misty gray light burst apart. Qin Minghui's figure, pierced by the sword light, instantly dissolved into gray light and flashed away...
"So you did have a Substitute Talisman!" Gu Changdao said coldly. He slapped his Storage Bag, and the Black Demon Sword flashed into his hand.
Several yards away, Qin Minghui reappeared, her face deathly pale. She roared in fury, "Gu Changdao! What exactly are you...!"
Before Qin Minghui could finish, Gu Changdao erupted with an astonishing surge of sword intent, holding the Black Demon Sword in one hand and the Golden Light Longsword in the other. Within that sword intent were terrifying, suffocating sword-rays of demonic qi, as well as the fearsome sword intent of the Ancient Sword Technique...
The two merged into one, forming a terrifying black-and-gold sword-ray that instantly slashed toward Qin Minghui!
Qin Minghui felt her body bound by a force of restriction. She had no time to dodge.
The eight crystal-clear beads hovering above her head immediately transformed into eight protective barriers, blocking the sword light!
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!
Gu Changdao's terrifying sword intent instantly broke through the defenses of all eight crystal-clear beads...
The final strike slammed into Qin Minghui, and fragments of sword light exploded with a crash.
A suit of ice-blue treasure armor instantly appeared on Qin Minghui, but the sword still cleaved a terrifying gash through it. She was sent flying backward and slammed into the mountain wall.
Pfft!! Qin Minghui spat out a great mouthful of essence blood and dropped to her knees.
