The Multi-Tailed Scorpion Demon charged, thrusting out seven or eight afterimages at once.
Clang!
A dense flurry of clashes rang out simultaneously.
"Wha-"
The demon suddenly retreated, landing on the wall outside the lawn, and raised several venom-tipped tails before its eyes to examine them closely.
A layer of frost had formed over those tails.
One tail had even had a section sliced off, exposing a rotting portion.
No.
That portion had only begun to rot because the saber had cut it.
Whoosh-
An afterimage flashed past.
The Multi-Tailed Scorpion Demon severed that continuously rotting tail.
Its opponent's Truth Tier was nowhere near this powerful...
But why was he unaffected by its suppression, and how could he inflict so much damage on it?
It looked at Shen Ye again, briefly sizing him up, then suddenly snorted.
"You're just relying on your weapon's power."
Shen Ye did not answer.
He merely held the Wound-Snow Saber level, poised to attack at any moment.
A chill quietly arose, continually condensing into ice crystals as the saber moved, drifting down toward the ground.
The sight was quite beautiful.
"The long saber possesses cold poison and sharpness taken to their extremes, freezing and corroding everything during attacks."
-This was the inherent power of the Truth Seventh Rank weapon, the Wound-Snow Saber.
Though the Multi-Tailed Scorpion Demon was of a higher rank, Shen Ye had blended some of the Heaven-Shaking Slash's power into his attacks.
-He no longer unleashed the complete Heaven-Shaking Slash.
While the Multi-Tailed Scorpion Demon remained on guard, Shen Ye turned and called out:
"How are the others?"
By the window, Ning Yunyu waved and gave him a cute smile. "They're fine. Everyone's still alive. Just focus on fighting."
"Good," Shen Ye replied.
Just then, the Multi-Tailed Scorpion Demon lunged at him again.
