Chapter: Chapter 393
“This environment, tsk, it’s truly unpleasant…” The black mist contracted inwards. After a few breaths, it formed a human shape. A voice, genderless, emanated from the black mist, causing Bai Ling to frown involuntarily.
A completely unexpected enemy, but not strong.
Feeling the pressure emanating from the other party, Bai Ling calmly made her judgment. With just this level of pressure, she could defeat this guy in at most five minutes.
“Interesting eyes, ignorant mortal, who permitted you to look directly at me!” The humanoid figure formed by the black mist seemed displeasured by Bai Ling’s gaze. It waved its hand, and even more terrifying pressure surged towards Miss Sword Saint like a tsunami.
“Putting on a divine act.” Bai Ling held her Star Sword horizontally in front of her, then swung it forward. A sharp aura broke through the pressure released by the black mist and attacked the humanoid mass.
If this was all it had, Bai Ling could finish this enemy in less than five minutes.
“Tsk.” The black mist waved its hand, shattering the sharp aura attacking it. In this place, she couldn’t exert her full combat power. Otherwise, she would have already torn this white-haired lass to shreds.
To dare to provoke a god like this, she must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!
But she really couldn’t do it now. In this bizarre place, the power she could exert through this avatar was very, very little.
And this little power was not enough to defeat the starlike radiant girl in front of her. What she should be thinking about now was how to stall for enough time for her incompetent subordinates to complete their mission.
“I’ll hold them here, you go destroy that thing!” She turned and shouted towards the shadowy figures suppressed by the pressure. Seeing their embarrassing performance, she clicked her tongue again, displeased.
Recalling the pressure, she turned back, only to see the girl holding the star-shaped long sword had already appeared in front of her, raising the long sword infused with mystical starlight high.
In battle, Bai Ling wouldn’t be foolish enough to give her opponent time to react.
Since you dare to turn your head to speak to others, don’t blame me for seizing this opportunity to gain the upper hand!
“Slash!” Uttering a soft word, Bai Ling unhesitatingly pressed the sword downwards.
Danger! The black mist felt the terrifying power contained in this attack. Almost instantaneously, she dispersed her body into the intangible black mist it had been before.
The radiant sword blade cut through the black mist’s body as easily as cutting through air.
In fact, it was exactly like that. Bai Ling frowned. She hadn’t hit the enemy’s main body. “Did it dodge?”
However, if it couldn’t even dodge this move, then this black mist wouldn’t deserve such a grand entrance effect. This was the enemy’s trump card used to deal with her!
“Very good, you are very good.” The black mist reformed her body a few steps away, her voice tinged with anger. That move just now had already caused this avatar to suffer considerable injury. “Try this!”
It wasn’t her style to just take hits without retaliating. After dodging Bai Ling’s attack, she immediately counterattacked. Several black tentacles shot out from the shadows of the room, lashing towards Bai Ling rapidly.
These black tentacles seemed to have substance, and at this speed… she couldn’t engage them directly, Bai Ling judged.
She lightly tapped the floor, and her entire being soared up like a feather. In mid-air, she gracefully spun, and incredibly sharp sword energy shattered the black tentacles that were surrounding and attacking her.
After shattering the black mist’s counterattack, Bai Ling did not stop, unleashing powerful sword energies one after another. For a moment, she had the black mist unable to lift its head.
If it continued at this pace, the black mist would be cut down by Bai Ling in at most two minutes.
But two minutes was enough for many things to happen.
Those shadowy figures had already begun their actions. Taking advantage of Bai Ling being occupied by the black mist, they split into two groups. One group went to break through the mechanical defenses in the center of the room, while the other group was fiddling with something unknown.
The center of the room was equipped with several layers of shield generators, the highest grade ones. This was the basis of Bai Ling’s confidence in going all out. She had participated in the testing of these shield generators and knew very well how much power these things could withstand.
As long as it wasn’t a direct hit from her ultimate move, these shields would be enough to last until she dealt with this black mist.
However, to be safe, Bai Ling still diverted a bit of her focus and flung a sword energy towards the shadowy figures to disrupt their actions.
“My opponent is me!” But this momentary lapse immediately gave the black mist an opportunity to counterattack. She was indeed suppressed by Bai Ling, but she wasn’t completely without the power to fight back.
Several shadow arrows shot towards Bai Ling’s vital points from extremely tricky angles, forcing Bai Ling to restrain her offense and shatter those shadow arrows one by one.
With her defensive capabilities, she couldn’t afford to trade blows. After all, if she took even one hit, a considerable amount of her health would be lost.
“It seems you’re very afraid of getting hurt.” The black mist also noticed Bai Ling’s apprehension towards her attacks. In an instant, she judged Bai Ling’s weakness. “Your defensive capabilities are not as formidable as your offensive power.”
Pressing her lips together, Bai Ling continued her offensive without a word. Even if they knew her weakness, what could they do?
What could they do? The black mist sneered inwardly. She had already found the way to victory.
As expected, humans are such fragile beings. Even with such power, don’t they still have an Achilles’ heel?
Facing the Star Sword rushing towards her body, the black mist chose an option she had never chosen before. She didn’t dodge, nor did she become intangible. Instead, she used her black mist body to forcefully take the sword.
“Ugh…” The Star Sword deeply pierced the black mist’s chest, causing the deity to let out a muffled groan. The energy on this sword was rather strange.
But, just one sword like this couldn’t kill her!
Then, it was her turn to retaliate.
Not good! Bai Ling realized the black mist’s intention. She immediately let go of the Star Sword and rapidly retreated.
A fist made of black mist appeared at the spot where Bai Ling had just stood almost the instant after Bai Ling reacted. The fist missed, but it still pursued the rapidly retreating Bai Ling, seemingly determined to not stop until Bai Ling was dead.
But in the end, it failed to complete its mission. Several star-like lights blasted from a distance, completely shattering it.
Even without her sword, Bai Ling could still unleash weaker star-like lights with her bare hands.
