Chen Yi abruptly raised his sword to strike.
The Qiongqi let out a startled roar.
Its massive wings swept up fierce winds, causing its enormous body to stagger back several steps. Its blood-red eyes were terrifying.
"Damnable beast!"
The Qiongqi bellowed with fury, its voice rippling out like tidal waves. Chen Yi stumbled back several steps, dust erupting from the ground.
Zhou Yitang turned sharply and struck with her sword.
Invisible Sword Qi filled the air before her, rushing forward like rain, stirring a whirlwind of sharp, cutting noises.
Her strike seemed like it would pierce through the heavens, forcing the Qiongqi to retreat dozens of yards. Such fear only served to highlight the celestial presence of Yin Sword Mountain's Sword Armor.
"Are you okay?"
Zhou Yitang asked.
"I'm fine."
Chen Yi exhaled heavily.
If not for his unwavering determination, if not for his ability to maintain clarity of purpose, he might have fallen prey to this beast's enchantment.
