"Bang!"
This time, Xu Taiping had barely tried to fuse the Thunder Origin power at his fingertip with the Great Sun Golden Flame when one of his fingers was blasted off on the spot.
The Great Sun Golden Flame and power of lightning he had painstakingly gathered dispersed once again.
"Whoosh!"
Almost simultaneously, Baishu sent his sword hurtling in for another attack.
Amid a piercing shriek through the air, the Red Sword's Sword Shadow took the shape of a Fire Phoenix, diving from high above and bearing down on Xu Taiping with Sword Intent steeped in destruction and Sword Qi that filled the sky.
"Bang..."
Amid the reverberating impact, more than half the Body-Protecting Golden Light of Xu Taiping's Mountain-Bearing Form was cleaved away by that strike.
Fortunately, Xu Taiping forced down the excruciating pain of his Divine Soul being torn apart and drew upon more Blood Qi and True Essence from his Duedu Asura Physique, finally stabilizing the Body-Protecting Golden Light again.
Baishu was in no hurry, continuing to build his Sword Intent in preparation for breaking Xu Taiping's Mountain-Bearing Form once more.
In his eyes, Xu Taiping was already a bolt at the end of its flight, meat upon the chopping block.
His past experience hunting powerful opponents told him not to rush at a time like this. He only needed to proceed methodically, breaking his opponent's final measures one by one, and he would be able to kill him.
"Little Junior Brother, how are you holding up?"
Behind him, Zhao Linglong grew desperately anxious at the sight of Xu Taiping's predicament and tried several times to go to his aid.
Yet never mind lending Xu Taiping a hand-she could not even get close to them.
The Gang Wind stirred up by their clash was simply too fierce.
