"Whoosh—" The instant the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi stagnated, the Empress's figure suddenly faded. Her fading form twisted within the hurricane, and then a faint silhouette emerged. The Empress seemed to merge into the wind itself, drifting toward the edge of the green radiance! Unfortunately, no matter how she cast her technique, her figure remained merely faint and could not vanish completely! Even the calmness in the Empress's eyes could not hide a flicker of surprise!
This was naturally the Wind Escape Technique the Empress had given Xiao Hua! Yet when displayed by the Empress herself, it was earth-shattering in an entirely different way. In merely the blink of an eye, she had flown more than a dozen li, and after only a few breaths, she had reached the edge of the green net!
However, the Empress could no longer maintain her previous ethereal state. After a ripple passed over her, her figure gradually became visible, while her face, already white as snow, turned even whiter than paper!!! Her eyes brimmed with confusion and regret! It seemed the speed and effect of the Wind Escape Technique had fallen far short of her expectations!
"Rumble..." Amid a roar that shook the earth and mountains, dark green pillars of light as thick as bowls appeared before the Empress. Like heavenly pillars that could pierce through heaven and earth, they shot up from the ground and thrust straight into the sky, joining with the pale green radiance!
Knowing this was the critical moment, the Empress dared not hesitate any longer. With a toss of her hand, a fist-sized Jade Gull appeared in her palm. She spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Jade Gull immediately came alive, flapping its wings. Its scissor-like wings sliced across the air, leaving behind fine cracks!
