With that, he swung his purple-gold linked vajra straight at He Xiangu.
He Xiangu's expression changed drastically. She shouted, "Xuanying! You have already fallen into the demonic path!"
"You are the one possessed by demons!" Xuanying's assault did not relent, the shadow of his vajra howling down.
