In the heat of the moment, Kai’s eyes narrowed, a mixture of determination and suspicion clouding his gaze. Despite the woman’s cryptic revelations, he couldn’t shake the underlying sense of unease. Without uttering a word, he made his move, sin-infused energy surging through his veins.
With lightning reflexes, Kai lunged forward, his form a blur of ethereal darkness. The air crackled with his malicious intent as he aimed a fierce strike towards the woman, his claws poised to shred through her defenses. His attack was swift and merciless, a testament to his training and the raw power coursing through his veins.
However, the woman seemed to possess an otherworldly grace. In a display of agility that mirrored his own, she effortlessly sidestepped his assault, her movements fluid and precise. It was as if she could anticipate his every move, countering his striking with deft evasions.
Undeterred by her agility, Kai pressed on, unleashing a barrage of rapid strikes that blurred the boundary between offense and defense. Each clawed swipe was aimed with lethal precision, seeking to find any openings in Mi Ling’s defenses. The air resonated with the swiftness of his attacks, leaving a wake of destruction in his path.
However, rather than succumbing to panic, a small smile appeared on Mi Ling’s lips as she murmured in a low voice, "Seven Stars Stance." Instantly, seven colored Qi began to circle around her body, forming seven radiant rays that encircled her like planets orbiting the sun. Each ray emitted a distinct hue, representing the power of a specific celestial constellation.
As if guided by an unseen force, one of the seven colored rays intercepted Kai’s attack effortlessly. With a mesmerizing display of grace and precision, the ray refracted his strikes, redirecting them harmlessly into the vast expanse of the cosmos.
At the same time Mi Ling took out her saber and swinged it towards Kai neck with unprecedented speed.
Undeterred by the thwarted assault, Kai’s eyes narrowed. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned a translucent barrier that engulfed his body. Sin Qi shimmered and crackled, enveloping him like an impenetrable fortress that protected him from harm.
As Mi Ling’s saber connected with Kai’s sin-infused shield, sparks flew and a powerful clash of forces resonated in the air.
Kai’s smirk widened, his confidence unshaken by the onslaught. His sin-infused shield proved to be an unyielding bulwark, successfully deflecting the full force of Mi Ling’s attack.
However, the battle took an unexpected turn as a smile curled upon Mi Ling’s lips.
Softly, she murmured, "Bloodline Technique - Starfire Annihilation."
In response, seven-colored flames began to surround her golden saber in an ethereal manner. The flames danced and swirled, intertwining with the blade and emanating a radiant heat.
As the flames connected with Kai’s shield, they blazed with an intensity that seemed otherworldly. The sin-infused barrier crackled and sputtered under the assault, unable to withstand the searing heat of the Starfire annihilation. Gradually, the protective shield began to falter, succumbing to the unrelenting inferno.
With a sudden burst, the flames surged forward, engulfing the remnants of Kai’s shield. A wave of scorching energy rippled through the air, consuming the sin-infused barrier within seconds. Kai’s eyes widened in disbelief as his once impenetrable fortress crumbled into ashes, leaving him vulnerable and exposed.
Mi Ling seized the opportunity, her golden saber gleaming with celestial might. She lunged forward, her blade trailing a streak of seven-colored flames as it sliced through the air. The searing heat of the starfire annihilation intensified, closing in on Kai with the intent to reduce him to mere embers.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Kai’s voice erupted from his lips, carrying with it the weight of his resolve, "Abyssal Maelstrom!"
With a surge of Sin Qi, the atmosphere around him twisted and contorted, as if the very fabric of reality was being drawn into a vortex. Sin Qi, in all its ethereal brilliance, coiled around Kai’s body, swirling in a chaotic dance of darkness.
The Abyssal Maelstrom exuded a foreboding energy, a menacing presence that sent shivers down the spines of all who bore witness. It seemed to devour the essence of the surroundings, sucking in the light and casting everything into shadows. The air crackled with otherworldly electricity as if the Maelstrom had tapped into an ancient, arcane power.

Mi Ling’s lips curled into a grin, her eyes gleaming with a malevolent spark. She flourished her saber with elegant grace, the polished steel reflecting the dim light of the battlefield. Her movements were precise, each swing of her weapon a testament to her martial mastery.
With a swift and fluid motion, Mi Ling merged the seven rays of light emitted from her saber. The once vibrant beams dissolved into her weapon, blending seamlessly with the blade. As if in response to this infusion, the saber emanated a deep yellow glow, bathing the surrounding area in its radiant luminescence.
Kai’s brief moment of relief was shattered as Mi Ling’s plan unfolded before his eyes.
Without warning, she launched another one of her devastating attack. " Sebar Technique: Stellar Impact Quake."
The power behind her strike was undeniable as if a force beyond comprehension surged through her weapon.
The Abyssal Maelstrom, for all its might, trembled in the face of Mi Ling’s saber. The dark vortex tried to withstand the overwhelming force, but cracks started to form within its swirling currents. The Sin Qi contorted, struggling to repel the impending strike.
With an unstoppable determination, Mi Ling’s saber tore through the Abyssal Maelstrom, defying its resistance. It was as if the blade possessed a mind of its own, guided by the hand of a skilled warrior. The trajectory was clear – Kai’s neck was the target.
In a desperate bid for survival, Kai’s instincts took over. His body moved with an agility honed through countless battles, allowing him to evade the lethal strike by a hair’s breadth. The air whistled as the blade sliced through the empty space, leaving a trail of luminous stardust in its wake.
As the dust settled, Kai’s senses heightened to their peak. His heart pounded in his chest, his breathing ragged, as he fully comprehended the gravity of the situation.
Amidst the chaos and destruction, Kai’s mind raced to comprehend the gravity of the situation. Every fiber of his being screamed at him, urging him to remain vigilant and to anticipate the next move. His thoughts raced like wildfire, each synapse firing rapidly as he analyzed the scenario presented before him.
A sneer curled upon Kai’s lips as he locked eyes with Mi Ling, the woman responsible for his current predicament. The words that spilled from his mouth were tainted with sarcasm, a sharp retort designed to provoke a response. "It seems like you really can’t wait to kill me."
Mi Ling, however, seemed unfazed by Kai’s rebellious remark. She chuckled, a sound that reverberated through the thick silence of the battlefield. The sound sent shivers down Kai’s spine, hinting at a hidden depth to her intentions. "Kill you? That’s too simple," she replied with an air of confidence, her voice filled with a mix of amusement and sinister determination.
Kai’s eyes narrowed, his mind working at lightning speed to make sense of Mi Ling’s words. How much did she truly know about him and Liang Yifei? The connection between them was shrouded in secrecy, known only to the two of them. It puzzled him to think that someone outside their circle could be privy to such information.
Unable to suppress his thoughts, a sly smirk curved his lips as he challenged her. "Mi Ling, right? You seem very confident in yourself. Or perhaps the other members of the alliance are waiting in the shadows to ambush me," his voice dripped with thinly veiled disdain, daring her to reveal her hand.
Mi Ling’s laughter filled the air once again, a sound that betrayed a knowledge and understanding that surpassed Kai’s expectations. She shook her head, her eyes dancing with a mix of amusement and something deeper, something that sent a chill through Kai’s veins. "Ambush you? You think too highly of yourself," she replied, her voice laced with a veiled threat that hung in the air.
Kai’s eyebrow raised, his gaze piercing through Mi Ling’s façade. He remembered the last encounter, the swift intervention of Chang Jin that had saved Mi Ling’s life. A fire ignited within him, fueled by the memory. "If I remember correctly," he began slowly, his voice filled with a mix of defiance and bravado, "the last time, if not for Chang Jin, you would have already been a corpse."
Mi Ling’s expression hardened, her eyes narrowing with a glimmer of annoyance that danced beneath the surface. She shook her head once more, dismissing Kai’s words like unworthy flutters of a moth’s wings. The corners of her lips curled into a knowing smile as if she held secrets that he couldn’t fathom. "Your thoughts are far too simplistic," she said, her voice tinged with a hint of condescension. "You seem different from the other Liang I know. I wonder why?"
