The enormous scythe struck the body of the demon whale, but this time it didn't evade like before. The blade cut into the thick black horn-like skin, and a large amount of fresh blood surged out.
"Break!"
The scythe did not continue to cut downwards; instead, under Xia Bai's command, it shattered with a pop!
Many people were unclear about why this happened.
"Don't look at me, I have no idea either," Liu Zhenghong shrugged and said to the others around him. "I can only guess that this girl, with the scythe in her hand, the battle armor on her body, and even the wings on her back, can recover even after being destroyed."
"Moreover..."
Liu Zhenghong's tone wavered slightly, and the others rarely saw him like this, all perked up their ears.
"If she can't be instantly wiped out or burned to ashes, there's a high possibility that... she won't die."
Even Xia Lei, at this moment, abandoned watching the battle in the sky and turned to look at Liu Zhenghong with a surprised expression.
"Just watch for now; I'll tell you all afterward."
………………
The demon whale finally recovered a bit from the series of attacks. Instead of counterattacking immediately, it dove headfirst into the ocean.
Xia Bai would not allow it to escape, quickly flying after the demon whale with bare hands, pummeling the monster's body with her fists.
Eventually, she even plunged into the sea alongside the demon whale.
Many people from Cloud Summit gasped in shock.
In the water, it was the demon whale's territory, where its abilities could reach their peak. It was incredibly unwise for Xia Bai to follow it in.
However, not long after, the figures of the demon whale and Xia Bai surged back out of the water.
No one knew what had happened in the few seconds beneath the surface, but the demon whale appeared to be slightly better, with the gaping wound from the Loki Cross and the cut from the scythe no longer bleeding.
Xia Bai, on the other hand, looked more disheveled; one of her wings was clearly broken, and both her hands were clutching a chunk of flesh that seemed to have been ripped off the demon whale.
The demon whale flew back into the air, disregarding the relentless Xia Bai behind it. It opened its massive mouth and sprayed a huge column of water at the red dress guard below.
This creature was determined to eliminate the red dress guard first.
In its view, the red dress guard continually provided Xia Bai with power, which made this woman so fierce.
Unfortunately, the energy shield surrounding the red dress guard seemed invincible, withstanding the demon whale's attack.
The ground where they stood cracked under this power, but the energy shield did not shatter!
However, compared to its previous intact state, cracks began to appear this time.
The demon whale roared in anger and swung its tail at Xia Bai. She blocked it with her fists but was still sent flying by the force.
Then, the demon whale charged straight down from the sky, crashing into the red dress guard.
Under the energy shield, Xiao Min noticed the diving demon whale and revealed a slight smile.
She discarded a broken book-like piece of equipment onto the ground; it was "Mountain Range Chronicle," a scroll item that could enhance the sturdiness of passport-like equipment or skills for a limited time.
The protective shield they were using was a power emitted from one of their two major team books. After being enhanced by this 'Mountain Range Chronicle,' which was traded for a purple equipment in Cloud Summit, its sturdiness reached an unprecedented height.
"Come on!"
Xiao Min said, and a piece of equipment resembling a rocket launcher appeared on her shoulder. Unlike a regular rocket launcher, this was a true cannon, with a mouth diameter of over one and a half meters.
On her back rested an incredibly complex, gigantic metal box with shimmering lights moving across it.
The members of the red dress guard behind her extended their palms forward as Xiao Min spoke, channeling their power through the team book. Instantly, three people standing behind Xiao Min transferred energy into the metal box.
