Not far behind, the matriarch of the phoenix clan found herself under relentless assault as three avatars of Qin Huai bore down on her. Desperate, she targeted what she presumed was Qin Huai's genuine form, finding a slender window of vulnerability.
Her optimism, however, was short-lived. With a deft maneuver, Qin Huai retaliated without so much as glancing in her direction, laying to rest the two phoenix combatants. As they perished, the spiritual energy enveloping the vicinity gravitated toward him.
