BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The violent explosions echoed through the city block.
Streams of Qi Flame bullets were blocked by the alloy broadsword, detonating into waves of concussive force.
Though Dong Xiao was a woman, her physique was powerful and well-toned. She wielded the broadsword in one hand like a spinning pinwheel, forming a heavy shield that blocked the attacks mid-air.
With a spinning leap, she deflected the full explosive power of the blasts—each comparable to a howitzer shell—and dissipated the residual shockwaves. Then, she bent her knees, launched herself forward, and shattered the ground beneath her as she looked to the sky.
"What impressive external projection of Qi Flame."
"Now try this."
Her tone was steady as she stared at the unfamiliar Exploration Level expert on the rooftop and swung her broadsword with sudden force.
SWOOSH!!
A blade of Qi shot out.
