"Keep the formation!" Wu Shuan barked seeing the disciple being swept back before channeling Qi into his sword.
SLICK
His strike landed true, cutting a bloody gash along the beast's leg.
The smell of bloodied fur filled the air.
Han Yu's eyes glinted. The beast turned its fury toward Wu Shuan, giving him the moment he needed. Soul Qi flared within him like a silent tide, invisible yet vast. His perception sharpened even further, and he moved before the beast could turn back.
He slashed upward, his blade tracing a bright crescent of light that cut across the creature's neck. Blood sprayed, sizzling as it hit the grass.
SPLASHH
The beast roared again, its Qi surging wildly. The pressure nearly knocked one of the younger disciples off balance. The creature opened its jaws wide, blue flame flickering between its fangs—Spirit Fire!
"Scatter!" Han Yu yelled.
WHOOOOOOSH
A torrent of blue flame erupted, sweeping across the clearing.
HISSS
SIZZLE
CRACKLE
