The ethereal blue ghost fire, although it had caught on the Ice Dragon Sword, was flicked away effortlessly by Ling Xiao, vanishing without a trace and failing to inflict any damage on him.
However, Hei Suo clearly wasn't satisfied with ending the attack there. After his strike was blocked by Ling Xiao, his next attack swiftly followed.
"Ghost Fire Three Styles—Flame Rush."
A cold glint flashed in Hei Suo's eyes as the long whip bounced from the ground in a bizarre angle. A burst of fire energy shot out from the tip of the whip, aiming straight for Ling Xiao's abdomen.
"Aspect of Wind, Melting Water!"
The same sword techniques, now infused with the power of Celestial Phenomenon, produced entirely different effects.
The once viscous ripple-like True Essence began to spin wildly, much like a fierce tornado.
The ethereal blue flames, like fireflies in a tempest, were swept up and then dissipated into nothingness.
