During this brief delay, Ning Xiaoxian had already closed in on the Golden Core cultivator, and with a swipe, she aimed her dagger at him. Her speed was extremely fast, and the strike was silent until the very moment it nearly reached the body. Then, a ghostly image of a coiled snake with bloodied tusks emerged on the dagger, following right along with the tip — it was clear that being struck by it would bring dreadful consequences.
The complexion of the Golden Core cultivator changed as he emanated a faint yellow shield around his body, evidently activating his protective divine skills. Ning Xiaoxian, paying no heed, continued her attack. The tusk-like dagger tip struck the shield, and with a "pop" sound, it burst like a soap bubble, forceful enough to shatter it completely!
