But she was still not fast enough to completely dodge the icicle.

Lee Qing’s arm got sliced open by the icicle leaving a trail of blood behind it before the icicle slammed into the ground.

The wound healed and she swung her sword at Lee He Song to keep him away.

Whoosh.

The slicing wave from her sword shot out at Lee He Song and he leaped to the side.

But before Lee Qing could do anything else, a gust of wind came at her face.

The eight trigram of Lin Xuan Qi’s hammer became bigger and bigger in her vision.

Thud!

When Lin Xuan Qi’s left hammer hit her head, Lee Qing’s mind went blank for a moment and she stood there frozen.

The effect from the Oblivion Steel had started to do its work.

"Don’t worry, it’s normal to feel a little giddy." Lin Xuan Qi said while he turned his body backwards with the two hammers.

And when his arms were extended to the furthest they could go, he swung them forward at Lee Qing’s head and body. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Dang.

The hammers hit her head and body, giving out a loud metallic sound.

She was flung backward and tumbled along the ground.

The force from Lin Xuan Qi was many times stronger than Lee He Song.

When Lee Qing regained her consciousness, she had to plunge her sword into the ground to stop the momentum of Lin Xuan Qi’s blow.

But it wasn’t enough.

The sword left a trailing mark on the ground for a few meters before she finally stopped.

Cough.

Lee Qing coughed out a mouthful of blood and she slowly stood up from the ground.

Her cheek which had a depression caused by Lin Xuan Qi’s hammer slowly gained back its rounded form.

The wound on her arm also started to heal and close up.

She pulled out her sword from the ground and pointed it at Lin Xuan Qi.

Many thoughts went through her mind.

They don’t have any Spirit Qi...

How can they be able to get through the defense of my Artifact?

And the force from the attack wasn’t something a mortal could unleash.

She couldn’t figure out what made Lee He Song and Lin Xuan Qi as powerful as a cultivator.

But before she could ponder on it any longer, Lee He Song came at her again.

He swung his sword at her, unleashing a slicing wave engulfed in fire.

Whoosh.

The flame from the slicing wave caught her neck when she tried to step to the side and dodge the slicing wave.

It was however not over yet for her.

Lee He Song turned his wrist and pointed the tip of his sword upwards.

He took a step forward and thrust the tip of the sword at her neck.

"Damn you!" Lee Qing gave out a roar and the yellow glow appeared from her bracelet to engulf her body once more.

Crack.

It was the same result for her.

The tip of the sword in a blue glow infused with the Five-Element Qi was able to penetrate through the yellow glow effortlessly.

And the tip of the sword didn’t stop.

Lee Qing had to bend over backwards and used her leg to kick at Lee He Song’s head at the same time to dodge it and force Lee He Song to stop.

When her foot came near to Lee He Song’s head, Lin Xuan Qi swung his hammer at it.

The hammer hit and instantly, a loud cracking sound of her bone being fractured could be heard.

Lin Xuan Qi also swung his other hammer at her hands which were supporting her at the moment.

It toppled her down and she fell onto the ground.

Lee He Song turned his sword downwards and plunged it at her body.

Thud.

She rolled away in the nick of time and Lee He Song’s sword missed by inches.

But it was not over for her, Lin Xuan Qi swung his arms in a circular motion before he lunged at her.

His hammers came down from above and they landed squarely on her chest and abdomen.

Blood spurted out from her mouth and she could barely breathe.

Lee Qing swiped her sword across aiming for Lin Xuan Qi’s feet that were next to her.

Lin Xuan Qi had to leap away to dodge it.

That gave Lee Qing time to reach into her shirt and take out a handful of talismans.

And in the next moment, she flung them at Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song.

The talismans gave out a green glow before they exploded and green liquid splashed towards Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song.

Thankfully, Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song were not caught.

They leaped to the side and dodged the green liquid that was coming for them.

Sizzle.

When the green liquid landed on the ground, it started to dissolve everything it touched, giving out a sizzling sound with a pungent smoke filling the air.

It bought time for Lee Qing to get up on her feet and swallow a Recovery Pill.

Her wounds healed up again and she was able to unleash her next strike.

"Second Pulse Strike!"

She pulled back her arm and thrust her sword forward at Lin Xuan Qi.

The sword gave out a bright glow and it emitted two pulse waves at him.

Lin Xuan Qi directed his Five-Element Qi to his spleen and he smashed his left hammer down onto the ground.

When the hammer hit the ground, rocks rose out of nowhere.

They rose quickly and formed a wall in front of Lin Xuan Qi.

Boom!

When the pulse wave hit the rocks, an explosion ensued and they exploded into pieces.

The pulse wave dissipated but the second pulse wave followed closely behind.

Dang.

Lin Xuan Qi held his right hammer and protected himself from the second pulse wave.

The second pulse wave hit the hammer giving out a metallic sound and was then absorbed by the Void Steel.

However, Lin Xuan Qi could feel the impact from the handle of the hammer.

He couldn’t help but feel that even though they were having the upper hand now, there was still a some gap between them due to her being at Foundation Establishment Level.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Lee He Song and Lee He Song nodded his head.

It was best to get rid of her as soon as possible.
