“Watch out! Behind the little miss!”
Up on the northern watchtower of Sky-Border Pass, Merchant Boss Qian Duoduo and Frost-Moon Saintess Lin Qing screamed in horror at the exact same instant!
Diving almost vertically out of the low cloud cover directly behind the flying courtyard’s porch roof. First Law-Enforcement Elder Zhao had burned ten full years of his Rank 5 High Foundation Establishment lifeblood to compress his aura until the very last hundred feet!
Now, descending at five times the speed of sound like a purple-black thunderbolt. The ten-foot Rank 5 High Purple-Gold Lifeblood Giant Sword was less than twenty feet from the back of seven-year-old Jiang Tuntun’s silver curls!
Worse still, smeared across the six-inch-wide purple-gold blade was a bubbling. Oily black layer of Rank 5 Thousand-Corpse Tongue-Rotting Venom—a sinister poison distilled by the Myriad Pill Sect. From a thousand rotting demon corpses specifically to dissolve the tongues and throats of spirit-devouring beasts on contact!
“Even if that little monster tries to bite my sword. A single drop of Thousand-Corpse Venom will rot her jaw off her skull!” Elder Zhao’s hawk-like face was twisted into a hideous grin.
The tip of his ten-foot purple-gold giant sword arrived six feet behind seven-year-old Tuntun’s strawberry-print bib!
