Ye Guxuan was nothing if not confident. After landing a sword strike, she decisively retracted her blade, and the God-Slaying Sword vanished in an instant. The faint, blue sword radiance—thin as wisps of smoke and light as fireflies—sank seamlessly into the activated barrier.
The blood-red light curtain reacted as if struck at point-blank range by a super-nuke. The gentle, undulating crimson ripples suddenly erupted into massive, roiling waves. A deafening roar followed, accompanied by a terrifying shockwave of recoil. Tianji Pavilion elders and masters standing nearby were forced to slide backward, barely managing to steady themselves. The earth groaned and trembled, as if a dragon were thrashing beneath the ground. The entire Gushan mountain shook, walls collapsing as massive boulders tumbled from above with a thundering crash.
The once invincible red barrier had been shattered by a tiny strand of blue sword energy as if it were nothing more than dry twigs.
