His divine abilities were all gone, his sword intent utterly absent-?
He recalled the white-bone flying sword and held it suspended before him, yet he truly could no longer wield the Immortal-Eating Bone sword intent.
How-how was this possible?
This was false! This had to be false!
Qu Yi seemed to realize something. "I understand now!"
He said, "This is your void-reality sword intent!"
The world before him was false!
Hum!
What answered him was not words.
A streak of black-and-white sword light suddenly slashed out, too fast for Qu Yi to react.
His protective sword Qi instinctively blocked outward, colliding head-on with that sword light and erupting in bursts of radiance.
He slid back several dozen feet before steadying himself, but more than half his protective sword Qi had been shorn away.
"!"
Though he was still somewhat dazed, Qu Yi no longer had the luxury of determining whether everything before him was real or false.
His battle instincts prompted him to turn his hand and deploy a defensive law treasure the very instant his protective sword Qi was cut open.
The law treasure resembled a teapot, its surface densely engraved with runes.
Waves rolled out around the teapot, forming a phantom image that swelled in the wind and enveloped his entire body in the blink of an eye.
Yet amid his daze, the radiance of the Traveling Heavenly Dao Sword Domain abruptly changed.
A blood moon shone down, and all the sword light took on a black-and-red sheen.
Hiss.
Qu Yi's eyes widened.
When the black-and-red sword light struck the teapot's phantom image, it almost bypassed his defensive law treasure entirely and slashed straight into Qu Yi.
Sword Qi cut across his chest, drawing a spray of warm blood mist.
"Aah!"
He screamed and hurtled backward.
Qu Yi
