Facing the ferocious onslaught of Old Monster Jingyang, Chen Xuan barely had time to sense his presence, let alone defend against it.
In this life-or-death moment, the mysterious woman within the Eight-Part Pagoda released a sliver of sword intent, reducing the old monster’s terrifying strike to nothingness. Chen Xuan retreated dozens of meters, putting distance between himself and Old Monster Jingyang, his heart still racing with lingering fear. Had the mysterious woman not intervened, he would have been killed instantly or, at the very least, left severely wounded and unable to fight.
Yet, Chen Xuan knew she had not exerted her full strength. He understood her intent: he had to face his own mortal enemies. If he relied on her to save his life every time he faced a crisis instead of overcoming adversity through his own strength, his path of cultivation would eventually wither, leaving him too timid to reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao.
