The dark blood snake did not give Ji Fengyan any time to recover, but used its head to charge at her.
Ji Fengyan avoided the attack with a flying leap. She aimed the heavy sword in her hand at the dark blood snake's head and struck!
It was as if she had struck a piece of hard metal. Not only did she do no damage, the area between her thumb and index finger cracked!
Blood trickled past the area between Ji Fengyan's thumb and index finger and flowed over her heavy sword. The faint scent of blood immediately spread.
The dark blood snake swept its tail sideways. Ji Fengyan involuntarily blocked it with her sword, but the force was so great that it sent it flying!
The youths who were watching were terrified. When they saw that Ji Fengyan was engaged in an arduous struggle, their expressions grew extremely grim.
Liu Kai and the others in the underbrush panicked. Leaving behind the two youths who had been frightened out of their wits, they rushed directly towards the lake.
"Damn it, we can't let Ji Fengyan fight the dark blood snake alone!"
Liu Kai and the others rushed out of the underbrush and sprinted towards Ji Fengyan. They had already bitten their fingertips and were ready to activate the World-Termination-Armour.
However…
Ji Fengyan lifted her hand to look at the cracked part between her thumb and index finger. The sight of crimson blood met her eyes, but she showed no signs of alarm. When she next raised her eyes, a faint smile was on her face.
She casually traced two strokes with the heavy sword in her hand. The white tail hairs hanging from the end of her sword were already slightly bloodstained. "I'm really not used to this thing."
As she spoke, Ji Fengyan twisted her small hand and returned the bloodstained, heavy sword to the Space Soul Jade. When she next raised her hand, it held a slender, sharp sword.
This sharp sword was only two finger-widths and as thin as a cicada's wing. Under the sunlight, it appeared to be almost transparent.
This sword was handed down by Ji Fengyan's masters. Her master had personally passed it on to her and said that it was used to vanquish evil.
It could destroy souls, kill spirits, and eradicate all kinds of evil entities.
Ji Fengyan looked at this completely familiar evil-vanquishing sword and her mouth curved into a smile. She single-handedly raised the sword and pointed it straight at the dark blood snake.
"This is more like it."
The youths by the lake were all stunned. The sword glittered under the sun, looking more magnificent than any sword they had ever seen. But… their hearts were still in their mouths.
No matter how magnificent the sword was, it still looked brittle.
It was not even one-fifth the weight of the heavy sword. How could this frail sword manage to pierce the armored dark blood snake?
Everyone thought that Ji Fengyan had gone crazy.
But just as everyone broke out in cold sweat on Ji Fengyan's behalf, Ji Fengyan shifted from defense to attack. She leapt forward with her sword and rushed directly at the dark blood snake's head!
The dark black snake's tongue flickered as it tried to bite Ji Fengyan. Ji Fengyan nimbly turned and avoided the dark blood snake's attack and in that instant, stepped on the dark blood snake's poisoned fangs and leapt!
Her slender figure was suspended in mid-air when she somersaulted. She faced the evil-vanquishing sword in her hand, aimed for the dark blood snake's eye, and stabbed hard!!
The dark blood snake immediately closed its eyes to protect them, but…
The evil-vanquishing sword in Ji Fengyan's hand pierced straight through the dark blood snake's tough skin and sank into its eye!
A terrible shriek abruptly issued from the dark blood snake's mouth. It's huge body trashed violently. Ji Fengyan lifted her hand to pull out her sword and black blood spurted out of the wound!
