"Shing...!"
Just then, amid a piercing blade cry, the Ox-Head Ghost Warden abruptly swung his two blade-wielding arms at Xu Taiping.
This time, he no longer struck toward the same spot, but one after the other, one high and one low.
At the same time, the instant he struck, a whirlpool resembling a sea eye suddenly appeared above Xu Taiping's head.
