"Wuxia, get out of here!" Li Dalong shouted. His eyes were filled with resolve. He knew that life and death in this battle hung by a thread.
Ye Wuxia gritted her teeth and shook her head. "I want to fight alongside Brother Li!" She gripped her flying sword tightly, determination shining in her eyes.
Xiao Cui and Ke Xialing also watched the battlefield nervously. Their hearts were filled with worry, but they were also inspired by Ye Wuxia's decisive action and courage.
Together with several maidservants and Ke Xialing, Xiao Cui poured immortal power into their flying swords, ready to strike.
"Rrroar!" A hint of excitement colored the black panther's roar. It suddenly lunged at Li Dalong again, its claws like knives, carrying a fierce gust of wind.
Li Dalong focused his mind. He knew they could not drag this out any longer. Taking a deep breath, he swung the Azure Rainbow Sword in his hand, sending a powerful blast of sword qi toward the black panther.
"Break!" he bellowed. At that moment, all the immortal power in his body gathered into a mighty storm of energy. The Azure Rainbow Sword's sword qi collided with the black panther's sharp claws with a deafening crash.
The tremendous impact knocked Li Dalong back. He tumbled through the air, smashing a swath of tall trees behind him to pieces. A mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips. He had suffered internal injuries.
The black panther, however, only retreated a few steps before roaring again.
Seeing Li Dalong knocked flying, injured and coughing up blood, Ye Wuxia cried out in anguish. She charged recklessly at the black panther, ready to stop it from attacking him again.
Seeing Ye Wuxia charge at the black panther without hesitation, Xiao Cui cried out anxiously, "Miss, look out!"
