ROOOOOOAR—SHING!
The ten-thousand-foot Golden-Blue Ice-Phoenix Sword Light surging from Empress Luo Qingxue’s single bamboo chopstick didn’t just fill the Abyssal Frost Core. It sang with the high, clear, triumphant cry of an ancient Phoenix Empress waking from a ten-year winter!
Along the outer edges of the silver-blue sword wave danced golden sparks of Gu Changsheng’s [Care-Package Brown-Sugar Ginger Soup] buff, turning her once-lonely Cold Sword Dao into an unstoppable tide of protective maternal and marital fury!
Fifty yards away by the vault entrance, Chief Overseer Xuan Bing felt every hair on his scalp stand straight on end.
All his arrogant delusions about capturing a “crippled, frost-bitten prisoner” evaporated in a microsecond!
“Impossible! How can a single bamboo chopstick dipped in ginger soup carry the power of a Rank 8 Mid strike?!” Xuan Bing shrieked in sheer, mortal terror.
Knowing that if he held back even an ounce of strength he would be bisected on the spot. Xuan Bing bit the tip of his tongue, spat a mouthful of his Rank 8 Star-Lord Essence Blood onto his heavy black judicial halberd. Slammed the butt of the halberd into the floor with both hands!
“Enforcers, link your dantians to my halberd!” Xuan Bing roared, his veins bulging purple against his frost-gray skin. “[Supreme Judicial Art: Ten-Layer Xuan-Bing Glacial Shield]! Block her!!”
