She took her stance. Fang Qing fixed her eyes on the thunder dragon and gathered the surrounding lightning spirit qi at maximum speed.From the spells and techniques of this world, the method she had grasped to raise her combat power was to concentrate qi.By her martial classification she was Innate — a bridge linking heaven and earth that broke the limits of the flesh.In plain terms, she could sense the qi around her and guide its use.So fire spirit qi was usable to her, and so was lightning.As long as she could sense it and direct it, spirit qi could be used.The only drawback was that it relied heavily on the environment.If she were in a place without spirit qi, her ability to guide qi would be greatly reduced and the effect severely weakened.Therefore, within the formation laid across Jinglei Cliff, gathering lightning spirit qi could maximize her power.All the lightning spirit qi Fang Qing had gathered now converged on the blade of Wu Qian and moved constantly.On the surface the blade occasionally sparked with thin currents of electricity, crackling.After the rapidly gathered lightning spirit qi swirled around Wu Qian’s blade, Fang Qing immediately swung the knife and unleashed a pure lightning blade qi, slicing toward the weakened thunder dragon.The dragon head of the thunder dragon collided with the blade; sparks and crackling light burst out frequently.The lightning blade qi met the thunder dragon and, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, had almost no effect — it was easily devoured.But it was not without effect; at least the thunder dragon spent a little time consuming the lightning blade qi, giving Fang Qing a brief buffer.That buffer was not much, for the thunder dragon was only some thirty meters from Fang Qing; in a moment she would confront it directly.She used the precious time without pause, continued to swing her blade and cut out blade qi.This time it was not a lightning blade qi but the Annihilation Slash.Annihilation Slash formed from pure annihilation true qi.A blade qi filled with death energy cut at the thunder dragon and this time clearly had many effects.The thunder dragon’s speed slowed and its form became more dispersed; tiny cracks appeared along its silver-white body.Seeing the effect of the Annihilation Slash, Fang Qing continued to swing and released the last Annihilation Slash she could muster.This strike gathered her final annihilation true qi — in other words, her dantian’s true qi was completely exhausted.If this could not shatter the thunder dragon, then only a physical, meat-and-bone stand remained.Fang Qing was not optimistic about a straight physical clash, because the thunder dragon carried Heaven’s will!It was quite possible that the moment of contact she would be struck dead with no chance of reversal.The Annihilation Slash met the thunder dragon with no sound, only the entanglement of dragon and blade qi — the two were contesting each other.The thunder dragon tore at the blade qi and gradually swallowed it.The price was that the cracks on the thunder dragon’s body widened; it seemed that with one more strike the thunder dragon would be torn to pieces.But now Fang Qing had no strength left to issue another Annihilation Slash.The thunder dragon that had consumed the Annihilation Slash charged at Fang Qing again, but this time its speed was much slower.No longer as swift as thunder, the dragon sluggishly flew toward Fang Qing, yet its oppressive force did not lessen in the slightest.As it drew closer, the aura of Heaven within the dragon grew stronger, and the pressure on Fang Qing increased.If it reached her, she would very likely be rendered completely immobile again, locked by Heaven’s decree as at the start.Feeling her body grow gradually cold and powerless, Fang Qing showed no panic or fear; she held Wu Qian with her right hand and stared at the thunder dragon.She had done everything she could; if even so Heaven’s will could not be resisted, she had nothing left to say.The thunder dragon was only a few meters from Fang Qing, but she had already swung her right hand in advance and struck at the dragon.She felt that her body had become extremely difficult to move; if she waited until the dragon was at her throat, she would be unable to swing even if dead.Because she struck early, even though the blade’s speed was somewhat reduced, it still hit the thunder dragon.Wu Qian’s pale blade struck straight at the dragon’s head; the two collided without reserve!There were no dazzling lights, only naked grappling strength, and in the end Fang Qing’s strength failed. Her hand holding the blade began to tremble, on the verge of losing all power and letting Wu Qian fly free.But she refused to let go. She gripped Wu Qian with all her might and would not let it go.For a warrior, one’s weapon is a companion for life; to lose it was the greatest shame.So Fang Qing would not let it leave her hand; even with her wounded left hand she clutched the hilt, blood dripping, not caring in the least.Yet in the end she was perhaps truly exhausted — she could barely hold her weapon.Her body had no qi at all; her dantian was empty; her spirit was at its limit.All her capital to fight had been used up.…“Giving up just like that?”For some reason, Fang Qing suddenly heard that sentence.Even at the edge of her spirit’s limit, she rasped hoarsely, “I don’t want to! But—”“No strength? No true qi? No spirit? No — you still have one thing!”The voice became clearer; this time Fang Qing heard distinctly that it was a man speaking.“W-what is it…”Her hoarse voice floated.“Your will.”“Always remember: only those whose will is supreme may seize the eternal darkness!”“…Will?”Fang Qing’s original purpose for entering the Holy Sanctuary had been a simple one: to find her disappeared contracted foster parents.To achieve that, she had done much in this world.Now, because of Heaven’s intervention, her path was nearing its end.Obviously, to achieve her goal she could not collapse now.Fang Qing smiled faintly, looked at the man before her and slowly said, “Come on, I am…ready.”The man opened his right hand; in the palm lay a deep, dark bead.“This is the Abyssal Pearl. Grasp it and you will truly become a scion of the Abyss.”Without hesitation, her pale, tender jade-like fingers closed around the pearl.…Perhaps she spent a very long time in that dream, but in the outside world not even an instant had passed.The thunder dragon continued to strike at Wu Qian, which Fang Qing held tightly; surging lightning flowed and tried with all its might to kill her.At this moment Fang Qing was nearly powerless and about to have Wu Qian torn from her and be struck by the thunder dragon.Suddenly Fang Qing’s eyes blanked for an instant. The next moment light returned to them, burning hot and fierce!Looking at the thunder dragon and Wu {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Qian, Fang Qing’s gaze turned cold. She parted her lips and spoke calmly,“Abyss · Devour.”
