The air crackled with ozone as Yun Lintian charged forward. His eyes, ablaze with determination, fixated on Shi Xuan's colossal head.
The seven elemental swords, now imbued with a terrifying crimson glow courtesy of the Life energy sphere, zipped around him, forming a deadly dance.
Shi Xuan, amused by Yun Lintian's audacity, flicked his serpentine tail with a casual elegance. The movement generated a massive air current that sent the churning lake into a frenzy, waves crashing against the island like enraged beasts.
Just as the air current threatened to engulf Yun Lintian, he vanished.
Shi Xuan's reptilian eyes widened in surprise. A moment later, a searing pain erupted from his flank as Yun Lintian materialized behind him, the crimson-glowing Heaven Piercing Sword embedded deep within his scales.
"Hmph! The Shadow God Art, huh?" A roar of fury echoed across the landscape as Shi Xuan twisted his massive form, sending shockwaves through the air.
