As her words fell, Chaersha blurred into a streak of black lightning and lunged at Lu Changsheng. An ink-black demonic blade formed at her fingertips and slashed straight at his neck. Every strike aimed to kill, with none of her earlier frivolity remaining.
Lu Changsheng remained unhurried, Dark Mist swirling around him to deflect each of Chaersha's attacks at just the right moment. As the mist surged, it kept slipping through gaps in her attacks to burrow into her body, forcing her to change moves and retreat repeatedly.
For a time, Dark Mist and Demonic Qi collided furiously high in the sky. Above the Dark God Kingdom, the heavens darkened, and the sun and moon lost their radiance. The Dark Race soldiers and the demon army below all stopped fighting and craned their heads, staring fixedly at the two lightning-fast figures overhead, not daring even to breathe heavily.
After dozens of exchanges, Chaersha grew increasingly agitated as her relentless attacks failed to prevail. She suddenly retreated, putting distance between herself and Lu Changsheng, then spat out a mouthful of black demonic blood containing her life-bound Demon Essence. The blood transformed in midair into a Demon Blood Blade over ten feet long, its roiling demonic flames threatening to burn through the entire stretch of space.
"Dark Annihilation, No Life!"
At the sight, Lu Changsheng also raised his hand and formed a Hand Seal. The Dark Mist filling the sky instantly condensed into a Dark Fog Longsword a size larger than the Demon Blood Blade. The dark purple divine radiance flowing along it firmly suppressed the ferocity of the demonic flames.
The two struck simultaneously. The enormous blades collided with a thunderous crash high above, and dazzling light instantly swallowed the entire sky. A terrifying shock wave spread wildly in all directions.
