Fang Lian, unaware of what the others were thinking or perhaps simply unconcerned, acted first.
Without a word, she released the Tyrant Light Sword: Second Form – Star Form.
Five blazing beams of radiant energy arced out, converging with deadly precision into a perfect, burning star.
It whistled through the air, heading straight for Scar-Lip.
Sensing the lethal intent in the technique, Scar-Lip's eyes widened.
In a flash, he bit down on a pill hidden in his molars and swallowed.
The effect was instantaneous.
His muscles bulged grotesquely, veins pulsing with unnatural strength as his body swelled to twice its size.
A crimson aura burst from his skin as he roared, raising his crescent axe high.
"Cut through the heavens!" he bellowed.
But Fang Lian did not flinch. Her face was expressionless, her gaze calm as the blazing star struck his axe—
BOOM!
A violent shockwave rippled outward, kicking up a storm of dust and rock.
