At this moment, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden felt a prickling sensation on her scalp, and goosebumps erupted all over her enchanting body. A strong sense of crisis surged in her mind, shaking her spirit.
"Netherworld Mirror!"
Just as Qin Chen's inverse kill divine sword was about to pierce the center of the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's forehead, she suddenly roared in anger. A pitch-black shield resembling a mirror appeared on her forehead, and as soon as this shield appeared, a strange symbol emerged from its surface and exploded in an instant.
Boom! The Mysterious Rusty Sword in Qin Chen's hand struck the Nether Mirror Shield, transmitting an invisible, chilling force that surged into Qin Chen's body. At the same time, a terrifying aura of killing intent erupted from the inverse kill divine sword and rushed violently into the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's forehead.
"Ah!" The Dark Moon Nether Maiden let out a shrill scream as she was instantly thrown backward. A streak of blood appeared on her forehead, dripping down, and not only from her forehead but also blood flowed around her eyes.
Clang!
However, at the same time, black radiance erupted from the pitch-black Nether Mirror Shield, blocking the terrifying impact of the inverse kill divine sword and protecting the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's body.
"Great Emperor's Treasure!" Qin Chen's gaze sharpened as he looked at the pitch-black mirror. The Dark Moon Nether Maiden had actually summoned such a treasure at a critical moment. This item was extremely cold, containing astonishing defense, and even carried strands of dark aura, as if it had been pulled from the abyss, successfully fending off the fierce attack of the inverse kill divine sword.
It was evidently a treasure of emperor level.
Meanwhile, the chilling power flowed into Qin Chen's body, this icy aura seemed to emanate from the abyss, carrying endless coldness, attempting to corrode his body.
"Hmph!" Qin Chen snorted coldly, secretly circulating the killing intent within his body to forcibly suppress this chilling aura.
"You little brat, who exactly are you? How can you possess such strength?" After being repelled by a single strike, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden roared in anger, her eyes bleeding, her expression twisted with shock and disbelief.
She was injured?
Furious, she glared at Qin Chen, her heart filled with panic. If she hadn't reacted promptly and summoned the Great Emperor's Treasure granted to her by the Abyssal Clan, that previous attack would have heavily wounded her, even if she didn’t die.
What infuriated her even more was Qin Chen's strength. Right now, Qin Chen clearly wasn't an emperor level powerhouse, yet the strength of his attack was so formidable that even she, a great emperor, had almost been unable to withstand it.
"Undying Emperor Supreme." The Dark Moon Nether Maiden was both shocked and angry. Where did the Undying Emperor Supreme find such a formidable opponent?
"You despicable brat, I will make you pay with your life." In her rage, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden disregarded her injuries. With a loud boom, a terrifying power of the great emperor erupted from her body, and black tendrils rushed toward Qin Chen like drifting hair, sealing the surrounding void.
However, before the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's attack could arrive, Qin Chen had already moved.
Buzz! His figure flickered as he forcibly suppressed the dark power within him and transformed into a streak of light that charged toward the Dark Moon Nether Maiden.
Instead of retreating, he advanced. Qin Chen knew very well that the reason he could injure the Dark Moon Nether Maiden earlier was due to surprise. Under normal circumstances, given the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's strength, it would be exceedingly difficult for him to injure her, so he wouldn't give her a moment's respite.
Swish! Numerous sword qi poured out like a raging ocean, forming a net that penetrated the endless black tendrils and appeared before the Dark Moon Nether Maiden in an instant.
"You..." The Dark Moon Nether Maiden was furious and astonished. She never expected that Qin Chen, a mere transcendent, would dare to launch an offensive after ambushing her. A strong wave of anger erupted from her heart, making her feel unprecedented rage.
