Inside the underground mine.
Su Wanyue and Gu Chenfeng joined forces against the Black-Clad Swordsman.
Although the Black-Clad Swordsman possessed profound cultivation, exquisite swordsmanship, and astonishingly powerful icy Source Qi.
Su Wanyue's strength was no less impressive, and she withstood his attacks head-on.
Now Gu Chenfeng had also unleashed combat strength comparable to an early-stage Source Sea Realm martial artist and lent his aid.
The Black-Clad Swordsman immediately fell into a disadvantage and a dangerous predicament.

"Hmph, did you think you were the only one with a Movement Technique?"
Su Wanyue's twin blades flashed
