Clang!
A sudden metallic clash echoed through the air, as a short sword bizarrely appeared in Luo Chen's vision. It emitted a crystalline blue shield barrier out of thin air, that barrier dreamlike like a mirage, yet bearing a palpable solidity. The Divine Fire Sword, a peerless weapon that Luo Chen had always prided himself on, had unexpectedly been stopped by this sudden barrier!
The black-clad girl stood quietly behind the barrier, her face veiled by a mysterious black gauze, revealing only a pair of ice-cold eyes. She hadn't even used a single hand, merely gazing indifferently at the short sword floating in the air. The sword seemed to possess life, automatically releasing an endless stream of crystalline blue energy, starkly contrasting with the flames of the Divine Fire Sword.
