I immediately surrounded myself with an Icy Sphere shield. A split second later, it was struck by a wave of roaring fire hot enough to melt steel.
It really showed how much I advanced in the last several months. If an attack like that hit me head on when I was still at the Qi Foundation stage, I'd be dead in an instant.
At best, I'd be only terribly wounded and scarred for life, like Fen Kuang.
Now, although I felt the heat on my face and saw my Icy Sphere shield steaming from pressure, I was unscathed.
However, Tao Song was preparing the next attack, and if I just let her walk all over me, not only will I lose all self-respect, I will lose my life as well.
I flew at her, unsheathing my sword and charging it with Death energy. Lin Wu and Lin Yuen have already flown some distance away to deal with their own opponents, and I didn't fear sudden interference in my battle.
