Alex and Mingyue floated in the middle of void, surrounded by nothing but darkness.
Mingyue swung her sword again.
SHRKK!!
A purple slash mixed with ice and space cut forward.
But the slash only traveled a short distance before it stopped. It simply froze in place, then slowly vanished like it had been swallowed.
Mingyue's eyes narrowed. She raised her sword and swung again.
SHRKK!!
The result was the same. But a faint ice lotus appeared where the slash vanished.
Mingyue did not stop. After every slash, she sent a small amount of qi into the area and let an ice lotus bloom there.
Then she looked at it for a moment, studying how the lotus reacted before moving to another direction.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Alex did not disturb her. His hands were moving quickly in front of him.
Rune after rune appeared in the air. The runes formed layers.
One layer covered the front. Another rotated sideways.
