This wasn't to say that Hong Ji's attacks couldn't breach the Giant Horror Demon's defenses. Rather, it was because the creature possessed a unique defensive mechanism.
The Bone Spears could pierce the keratinous layer covering the Giant Horror Demon's skin, but as soon as they broke through, they were deflected by its incredibly resilient skin flaps.
While stabbing with the Bone Spears, Hong Ji also launched dozens of Bone Cones.
Similarly, these Bone Cones were unable to pierce directly into the Giant Horror Demon's body and change shape to rend its muscles and blood vessels.
Recalling that her initial assault hadn't achieved the desired effect, and that Zhong Yi had ordered her to end the battle as quickly as possible, Hong Ji's body suddenly bent forward, as if unfurling a pair of radiant wings.
