Desolate Devouring Art

Remembering how he had disgraced himself earlier, Shi Yangyun's face flushed red with rage as he lifted his longsword and slashed down at Xiao Rou.

The sword ray he released swept across the heavens, and under the same condition, a Vine Demon found it challenging to truly overpower a human cultivator.

Liu Wuxie had taught Xiao Rou a set of offensive mythical arts. Those methods worked well against ordinary humans, but no one who dared venture into the Outer Astral Spacetime qualified as ordinary.

Shi Yangyun drove every strike with killing intent, while Xiao Rou fought as a Vine Demon. When it came to wits and cunning, she stood no chance against a human cultivator.

After forcing Xiao Rou back ten-odd steps, Shi Yangyun pressed in on Liu Wuxie with every heartbeat.

On the other side, Fiery could only pour everything into holding Gong Shan back, as it had no way to kill the latter. The fight ground into a stalemate like this, and if it continued to drag on, Xiao Rou and Fiery would lose sooner or later.

Their attacks were too straightforward, lacking the profundity of the mythical arts humans employed.

With a thunderous explosion, Xiao Rou failed to dodge in time and took the blade ray head-on, green fluid splashing from her right arm. The pain made Xiao Rou suck in a cold breath. Aside from her master, no one had ever wounded her this badly.

Gong Shan had taken out an artifact that managed to suppress the True Samadhi Fire, but Fiery still held its ground by relying on its thick hide. Xiao Rou, however, couldn't compare, and her physique looked pale beside Fiery's.

After that wound, Fiery's combat strength dropped sharply, and it slipped into a disadvantageous position.

Shi Yangyun kept up his assault like a madman, thoroughly provoked by what had happened earlier. He could only vent the hatred boiling in his chest by killing Xiao Rou.

Gong Shan pinned Fiery down and even split off a strand of his divine sense, using his soul energy to suppress Xiao Rou.
