Min Ning suddenly moved, taking the initiative to strike.
The tree branch sliced through the gentle breeze like ripples, sweeping toward Chen Yi's waist with the force of a sword whirl. This attack was direct and sharp, as if the branch itself had become a blade.
Chen Yi spun away instinctively, dodging. Min Ning's branch hit only air at his waist, but she did not stop. Wielding the branch as if it were a blade, she swung again, slicing through the long wind and drawing a fine line between heaven and earth.
He unconsciously stepped into the "Peak Cloud Step" technique, only to be startled by how sluggish his movements felt.
How could he be so slow?
Though the Shangqing Heart Method was still active, Chen Yi's thoughts unexpectedly extended far away. A stray thought flickered across his mind, and hesitating momentarily, he aimed a thrust at a point where Min Ning seemed vulnerable.
But she moved like a darting fish.
