The Hidden Cave Sect Ancestor vanished, reappearing before Lin Mu in an instant, his hand morphing into a black blade that he plunged toward Lin Mu's heart.
Lin Mu twisted his body, barely deflecting the strike. Even so, a streak of Baleful Qi grazed his arm, tainting the flesh instantly. He could feel the corruption trying to seep deeper, but his physique and magma energy resisted it, burning away the infection.
"This Baleful Qi is stronger than anything… only Death Qi will come close," Lin Mu reckoned.
Their battle continued in the sky, a blur of fire and darkness clashing again and again.
Every impact shattered the clouds. Every swing carved through the air like thunderous echoes of fury and hate.
On the ground, the other Transcendents struggled against their own foes, each locked in brutal combat with the Ephemerach Hollows. But Lin Mu's duel was different—it was personal.
