Rumble...!
The next moment, the flying sword suddenly manifested as an enormous azure dragon's head. With a dragon's body formed from vast, surging water energy trailing behind it, it charged savagely at Venerable Danji.
At this sight, a fleeting look of horror flashed through Venerable Danji's eyes before he roared:
"Pill Fire Burns the Heavens!"
In an instant, his aura surged once more. Venerable Danji suddenly draped the flames that had covered the entire Sword Platform over himself like a great cloak. At the same time, gripping a giant flaming hammer, he swung it viciously at the water dragon formed by the flying sword.
Bang-!!
Amid the deafening collision, Venerable Danji smashed half the head of the water dragon formed by Jiang Zhi's third flying sword to pieces with a single hammer blow.
However, the vast, surging water energy within that flying sword also extinguished nearly half of Venerable Danji's pill fire.
At this sight, Heavenly Lord Hanjian raised a hand to rub his brow again and murmured:
"The skies over the Land of Chaos's cultivation world are about to change, I fear."
Qu Chao Ci asked in confusion:
"But isn't Venerable Danji holding the upper hand right now?"
Beside her, Lady Bixiao frowned and explained:
"At full strength, Venerable Danji would count among the very best in any sect in the Upper Realm."
"Yet even so, Venerable Danji is only barely suppressing a single peak lord of the Azure Profound Sect."
"And remember, the Azure Profound Sect has six more peak lords like her."
Heavenly Lord Hanjian added:
"Don't forget, those seven peak lords aren't the Azure Profound Sect's strongest fighters."
"Those would be Xu Taiping, Dugu Qingxiao, Sect Master Zhao Qian, and Ancestor Lü Daoxuan!"
Their reminders sent a chill through Qu Chao Ci's heart as well.
