Li Dalong had kept his Divine Sense locked onto it, watching it. The moment its mouth opened, he realized it was about to attack.
Without hesitation, he slashed the Soul Chaser Sword at the Nether Shadow Spirit Cat, sending a Heaven-Slaying Sword Strike toward it as a streak of Sword Qi.
Although launched later, Li Dalong's Sword Qi arrived first, colliding with the Demon Power just in front of the Nether Shadow Spirit Cat.
Just then, the fire dragon formed by the Flame Dragon Talisman vanished completely, plunging the mine back into darkness.
The Sword Qi of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Strike was quickly dissolved by the Demon Power, though the Nether Shadow Spirit Cat's Demon Power was weakened as well.
It continued hurtling toward Li Dalong. Sensing that the threat had not yet passed, he sent another streak of Sword Qi forward, finally destroying the Demon Power completely.
The gap in their cultivation realms also created a disparity in the power of their attacks. It took two attacks from Li Dalong to cancel out one from the Nether Shadow Spirit Cat.
But Li Dalong was not afraid of this Nether Shadow Spirit Cat. Now that he knew its weakness, dealing with it would be easier.
This time, instead of using his sword against it again, he activated two Flame Dragon Talismans and flung them at the Nether Shadow Spirit Cat.
Since he was in a mining tunnel deep underground, he did not dare use too many Flame Dragon Talismans at once, lest he blast the tunnel into collapse.
He planned to use the fire dragons formed by the Flame Dragon Talismans and their intense light to disrupt the Nether Shadow Spirit Cat, then seize an opening to kill it.
This Nether Shadow Spirit Cat was very likely behind the disappearances
