Mo Zhao thought about it and was confused. Gu Xijiu"s spiritual power was not high enough to perform something so powerful. How did she do it?He tried to avoid the strikes on the side of the riverbank while trying to solve his confusion. However, his confusion would remain unanswered, as Gu Xijiu would never explain it to him.
Gu Xijiu pressed him with every step that she took. Her odd moves emerged in an endless flow, making it harder for Mo Zhao to avoid.
He never thought that the fight would require his full strength, but after a few encounters with Gu Xijiu, he finally understood that he needed to put in all his efforts to win the fight. Otherwise, he would be injured by her.
His power began to sink in. Finally, he was able to utilize all of his strength. His moves were getting more merciless and tricky.
The fight by the riverbank became increasingly vigorous.
An hour pa.s.sed... Then another hour pa.s.sed.
The glacier was melted and frozen again multiple times over the fight. Also, the ice towers at the riverbank were greatly affected by their battle and shattered into powder. The surrounding ice walls started to crumble, causing snow slides from the tip of the iceberg.
Slowly but surely, the appearance of the area had been completely altered. It looked like a battlefield now.
Although the appearance changed, their wizardry barriers remained unaffected.
Gu Xijiu could not use her teleportation technique and Mo Zhao could not run away from her.
He wanted to escape. He knew that this was too risky a fight for him at this stage.
Gu Xijiu"s body was surrounded by a faint glow throughout the battle. When his sword touched the halo, it only managed to bruise her, causing her to spit out a little blood. No vitals were harmed, so she could still fight.
Whenever she had the opportunity to injure him, she could not care less about his sword that was aiming at her chest or her head. She whipped the flexible rope unsparingly, showing him no sense of mercy at all by giving him more and more injuries.
Mo Zhao would not mind physical injuries. However, there seemed to be some incarnations on his wounds as well that could purify the devilish influence from his body. The pain seemed to pierce into his bones, and it felt ten times more painful than a normal injury.
Apparently, she was ready to die in the battle with him, but Mo Zhao was not.He tried to escape from the battle a number of times, but was halted by a barrier setup by Gu Xijiu.
He finally knew that Gu Xijiu had also set up a wizardry barrier to prevent him from running away.
Toward the end of the fight, he could no longer hold back his frustration. "Gu Xijiu, what kind of spell have you performed here?" He asked, loudly.
Gu Xijiu was injured as well. There was some blood at the corner of her mouth. With a smirk, she threw him an icy glance. "The spell that can prevent you from escaping! Mo Zhao, you will never make it out unless you kill me."
Mo Zhao did not know what to say.
He had tried several ways to escape, but all failed. There was a fierce and brutal look in his eyes. "All right then, I will be sure to kill you."
He put his escape plan aside and launched a series of savagely violent attacks at Gu Xijiu.
He a.s.sumed that Gu Xijiu must have taken some pills that allowed her spiritual power to advance greatly. However, the effect of the pills would not last long, just like the power of Demon Disintegration Dharma. Although one"s Kung Fu could be greatly increased by a few folds, the effects would not last longer than two hours.
When the time came, he would slowly torture her.
Surprisingly, none of them backed out in exhaustion even after two hours of intense battle.
On the contrary to his expectation, the strength of her seven-colored ray grew even more vibrant.
