Chapter 58: Your stubbornness almost got you killed just now
"Don’t worry," she whispered, a golden glow radiating around her body. "You won’t be able to."
The next instant, she vanished.
BaiShe had only a fraction of a second before a golden flash struck his flank. He raised his sword just in time, deflecting the blow that sent tremors through his arms upon impact. His body was hurled hundreds of meters away.
Yuying reappeared behind him, her palm shimmering with blinding light. A barrage of attacks followed, each faster than the last. BaiShe parried as much as he could, his sword tracing silver arcs in the air, but she was too swift.
A direct hit struck his chest, sending him tumbling across the battlefield. He rose immediately, but Yuying was already upon him.
He blocked a strike with the flat of his sword, but it shattered under the force of the impact, sending shards of light in all directions.
’This sword is quite sturdy, but...’
BaiShe glanced at the broken sword before sheathing it. "Enough playing around."
His aura intensified suddenly. A silver glow rose around him, mingling with an odd golden light. His body vibrated with the intensity of the Qi flowing into him. His palm began to glow softly.
’What am I doing here again?’ He wondered in a fraction of a second.
The wind howled around them as they soared at breakneck speed. Yuying pursued closely, her golden aura illuminating the dark skies like an artificial sun.
